Hannikar Guddleplex's Story

" that was a one time thing Alexia thought you got over it " he said with a small chuckle then looked at the boy " then what are you a murderer a cry baby or the victim, people in my planet have a word for what you are and thats prey " he said as he closed the core and looked at his crew walking away he wasnt face anyone who wanted out got out he wasnt goint to force anyone to remain.

"its not...your pills...they're mine" stuttered Gabriel in pain. He started shaking badly.

"I need them....now" suddenly he found himself unable to speak and barely able to breathe again.

'I really need a watch or something' he thought as his seizure began.

Hannikar raised an eyebrow, popping her head inside the door and seeing what was happening. "Er... What's 'appening?" She looked at the random guy then back at Alexia. "Is... he having a seizure?" She frowned a little, looking at the guy. She didn't quite know how to react. Today went from bad to worse.

Alexis nodded at Hannie. She ran out of the room to the medical bay and went furiously rummaging through the cupboards, looking for pills. "COME ON!" she yelled.

She finally found the draw and breathed a sigh of relief. She ran back to his room quickly, accidentally knocking Hannie over on the way. She took the top pill and placed it into Gabe's mouth, hoping for the best

Hannie mumbled, walking away quickly. She didn't want to keep getting in the way. She got up, brushing herself down and jogging down the corridor to check on Alexia and the new dude. She'd handle it, right? Time to do what she did best - hide. Speed walking back to the storage cupboard a few corridors away, she smiled. No-one usually found her in there, and even if they did she was a trainee looking for tools. Perfect! That and she could make all the bad jokes she wanted in there and have an intelligent conversation for once. With herself... Which probably wasn't all too smart in it's self.

The seizure ends finally and he lays there weakly.

T..Thank you" he said drowsily. He llaid there trying not to pass out.

"I...I'm not your...your problem...I can handle...myself" says Gabe as he looses consciousness.

Alexis breaths a sigh of relief. "He'll wake up in a minute," she says. She looks around for Hannie. "HANNIE, WHERE DID YOU GO!! WE NEED TO TALK!" she cries. she hears the faint mumbling of voices from the storage cupboard and she opens it up. "What the hell are you doing?" she asks as she catches Hannie talking to herself...

"I... am...." Hannie cleared her throat. "I am reading. Yep! I'm reading!" She laughed, quickly walking about. "Just a um," she cleared her throat yet again "old tradition on Mars. I like to think my family would be proud o' me doing it. Whadd'ya need?" Her bluff was totally solid... Probably?

Alexis shook her head and snorted. "You're the WORST liar I've EVER met," she laughed and she pointed to her cabin to indicate that that was where they were going.

"Oi! I'd let you know that Nana Guddleplex would be very insulted if y'ad said that to 'er!" Hannie feigned annoyance and headed into Alexis' Cabin. "Alright, lady, what'd you want? I wanna get back to my readin'."

Gabe woke up alone. "OH" he said and laid back down to rest.

"Moris, who's around?" Jack asked pitching the trash from his meal in the waste can by the door to his living quarters.

The ship chimed as normal before answering. " There are sixteen vessels travailing within " I'm bored" range. 17 if " I'm extremely bored"."

Jack nodded watching the stars drift in the blackness that was space, he was looking through the front visor panel, tho it really wasn't there it was just a real time image of what was going on outside of the ship.

" Any Human ships?"

" Two sir, One is Military in nature. "The Red". "

Jack grinned a bit, He might go kidnap someone...

" Moris, run personal tracker with my authentication code for council, labeled personal inquiry and label it's threat level 1, nothing major. I wan't everyone's on that ships name and rank, and medical records. Please make a note that this is level 3 clearance only and is only to be known about by Thein's in council or those deemed important enough by them to get in my business."

The ship paused for a moment , then chimed. " As you command, sir, however I must inform you that--

-- That is is against a multi-species treaty the Thein took part in , involve security of military information during the time of war and if found can lead to imprisonment" Jack mimicked the computer.

The ship chimed. " This will be your 74th charge on this, not to be disrespectful sir, but should you be abusing the clearance protocols? " The Ships A.I had a concerned tone to it's voice for once.

Jack paused and looked at the ship, like he was hearing it talk for the first time.
" You know my reputation, everyone in council think's I'm a lone with to much power, but they can't do anything because I have dirt on each and everyone of them, or they assume I do because I ask them for favors." He said talking more to a person now than a tool.

The ship chimed. " If you're sure sir. " The ship didn't sound convinced.

Jack smiled and settled down into the pilots chair, it was sunken into the floor and he had to lay down in the seat.
"Thank you for you're concern Morris, Make me one of those Earth drinks that keep me awake for a week."
He said as he pulled a visor over the front of his face, it was like a stasis pod form before FTL travel was a thing.
He inhaled deeply as the pilots seat filled with air, form fitting his body perfectly.

The ship chimed. " As you wish."

" Switch to Manual piloting , leave suggested rout open."
Jack bit his lip as he felt three needle like probes insert into the base of his neck, and with a gasp he was surrounded by nothing but the blackness of space, only contrasted by the stars.

He floated there in zero gravity, glowing a faint silvery color. It still took his breath away everything he took manual control over this ship.

He slid his hands outward in a semi circle and Disk of light appeared. Each had a reading.

'Morris Visual rout please' he thought to the ship.

There was no chime this time, only a thin blue beam of light that danced off in front of Jack's feet.

'Ship's weapons check'

A graph appeared next to the disk of light controlling the thrust. Morris soon chimed in

Jack nodded.
" Check storage and Solar sails please. And targeting recital up. "

100 kg liquid water
230 kg food.
1540 hours of oxygen.

'Solar sail's still functional reproducing 1 kg water per 100 hours of power and oxygen.' Morris answered.

After his list several beads of light danced in font of Jack's line of sight about 3 feet away, this is where his weapons were pointed. He smiled relaxing in this virtual reality.

Morris chimed. " Here are the personal files you requested. "
"Thank you Morris." Jack said as names and faces began to show in a disk of light, a 3d model of them was cast in the corner of jack's vision. He came across someone that caught his eye.



Jack smiled.
" Stealth, and Music track 2012, I'm in the mood for some sneaking. "

Morris chimed and a steel guitar started playing an ominous tone.The outwards hull of the ship reflected no light causing it to disappear from the blackness of space, heat signatures was reduced, ping was minimal. He might as well be a floating mail box in space for anyone cared. Jack grinned and snapped his fingers.

Jack and his ship were gone, Racing towards The Red.

Gabe had enough of sitting on his bed. He walked out his room after taking one of his pills to avoid any incidents and went to find Acker or Lexi. He was bored and wanted something to do that wasn't cleaning. He went onto the bridge and saw Acker commanding troops around so he thought it was best not o disturb him, especially if the guy is gonna act like he had every other time he had tried speaking to him.

He left the bridge to try find Lexi. He checked the medical room and her quarts but she wasn't there. On his way past the supply closet he heard her though. He opened the door to see Lexi and Hannie talking. He then looked at the dead body and spoke.

"Do you two usually have your private heart-to-heart conversations in a closet with a dead guy"

He sighted it was too quiet, this wasn't right the signal was suddenly cut off and he knew that it was the worst possible case scenario a trap. He looked at the map his best options rushing to his head as he struggle to make a choice, he looked at the crew only a couple of soldier would be able to successfully face off a boarding invasion they needed more time to prepare he sighted. " Attention Crew those who are dropping down to the planet report to the shuttle weapons ready. " He said in the intercom then he turned to pilot hut and entered the pilot greeted him " Sir what can I do for you " He said as acker took the sit next to him " Jess I want you to take this ship and jump right after leaving us near surface, jump to a near by galaxy and go into steal until I give you my order and coordinates to pick us up, I believe this is going to be a tougher mission I initially planed for." Said acker As jess looked at him a bit disoriented and confused " but sir if I do that two jumps would drain the core so quickly plus the jump time will mean if you get stuck in a bad spot I wont be able to get there in time" He said a little worry. Acker sighted and then put his hand on his shoulder " Jess, I'll figure it out but we can let the red get caught not now take everyone after you drop us off and jump that's an order soldier" He said as he walked out of the cabin and into the shuttle he tapped his swords and waited for the rest of the one going on the drop to arrive.

"Hannie this can wait, I need to go, we're departing soon. You're staying here I assume?" she said. Alexis left the cabin and ran down to the shuttle, placing the two daggers in their holders at the side of her hips. She checked her weapon and armoury status. "Let's hope this doesn't take long," she sighed.

"Hey? What was that for!" she cries. She walks into the room to see Acker and Gabe. She sighs and mutters under her breath. "Boys, all about long lasting arguments and unkept promises!" She walks off angrily and sighs. Alexis ran her fingers along the sides of her daggers carefully.....

" Let it go alexis this isn't the time for that beside you were the one that ended it, so..yeah" He said realizing that Gabe was there " Never mind that now but what is this you are asking me to take you somewhere dangerous so while we risk our lives for survivors we have to also baby sit that you don't have one of your episodes and one of us has to carry your ass back " He said as he looked at the boy clearly he had passion but was that enough acker thought. " Tell you what yeah come but if you want to survive the drop you need armor and a helmet, plus first sign of you having an attack you are to remain in the rear so the other can shield your body with theirs, so a lot of lives will be counting on you not having an attack. " He said as he saw the remaining soldiers walk in about nine of them in total with them included " Now that everyone is here this is a search and rescue mission do not engage hostiles unless absolutely necessary." He said as he knocked on the door of the shuttle and the pilot open it they walked in and waited as the ship too a nose dive to the planet at full speed in order to avoid fire and detection as quickly as possible. " Your armor is fitted with a creation of my own a radar of friendly and enemy now is not like the usual radar this turns you into a sonar as soon as one of us spots an enemy the Radar will emit a near invisible signal to the others so the squad may regroup accordantly remember we aren't here to fight a war just rescue casualties" He said as he loaded his gun and hanged it from his holster he look at the men and woman " You know what to do once we step of this ship we stay quiet until engage then its weapons free, but remember limited ammo so pick and choose your battles" The space ship began to slowdown and the shuttle was shot off into the nearest city where a landing pad use to exist but now lay in ruins thanks to the battle that had ensued, the Red took to the surface but just before reaching it, it jump like acker had ordered going into hiding the rupture of the jump moved the shuttle off course by a couple meters.

"Hannie this can wait, I need to go, we're departing soon. You're staying here I assume?"
"Yeah.." She nodded, walking slowly whilst everyone else was scampering around. She sighed, wondering if she'll ever actually have her space travel ban removed. Or if, maybe she could sneak along? She decided not to argue and just walked around, then slowly headed to a closet, dragging her feet. She'd just hide here, it'd be OK.
