"Right." Shimei grunted. She grabbed the edge of her tunic and tore a rough strip off the bottom, going around three times to get a long enough piece. The fabric was heavy, but with her strength, it acted like paper. She also ripped off the sleeves and pressed them against her side before she wound the rough bandage about herself, pulling it tight enough to stop the bleeding, then looked down at what was left of her shirt with disgust.
"Space. Look like one of those ancient video games." She glanced suspiciously at Reagan, checking for any sign of mirth.

Reagan watched happily as his companion began to reduce her clothing. It had been a while... he immediately changed his demeanor the instant Shimei shot him a suspicious look and began wandering around examining the droids. They appeared to be all shut off - and most looked like they needed repair.
Except one. A small humanoid droid, white with blue and red panels had its activation light on.
"Hey you'd better come and see this." Reagan forgot Shimei's midrif immediately, this one was rare.

Shimei strode over and leaned down to examine the droid. "Hmm...useful. Very much so." For the first time, a smile flickered across her lips. "What say we go after some Krystazians?"

Reagan's grin spread over his face, his eyes sparkled mischieviously.
"I am so in." He answered, and flicked the switch on the droid's neck. Several lights came on. Its eyes flared for a moment as the thing powered up.

Shimei matched Reagan's grin. "If nothing else," she reached down and casually lifted the activated droid upright, then took an arm off of one already scrapped with a scream of tortured metal and hefted its weight, "we can make enough vibrations to rattle them."

Wolfkin Turned to Nova, "We can't wait here, we've gotta move, let's worry about whoever it is when they pose a threat to us" She paused and looked around "Which way out?"

Reagan crept down the corridor, the driod following along quietly. It didn't ask questions. Well, it couldn't. Unlike many humanoid droids that were given speech patterns in several thousand languages, this had none. Its method of communication was limited to lights and those were simple enough. Green to show it understood an order, red to show it was faulty. They were built for direct obedience and had no artificial intelligence. Just as well, he'd dread to think what it would do if it had a mind of its own.
They were heading toward the docking bays and as there were no enemies in sight, they had to assume that the sillicoln-based life forms were heading back to their own ships.

Aeve hung over the Krystazian's crystalline shoulder like a dead thing. It would have taken a very close observer or a doctor to see if she was actually alive.
Though she didn’t know it she had much to be thankful for. The Krystazians, under orders to take prisoners, had used pulse blasters, technology based on disruptive sound waves and amped up by weak ion displacement.
The result was like being kicked by a large mule while someone turned your brain off. That was still better than being crispy-fried by more standard weapons.
Deep in Aeve’s brain some scrambled neurons stopped spinning. If they could have thrown up they would have. As it was, they did nothing much for a while.
Then they started trying to reassemble Aeve’s subconscious thoughts.
((love this RPG!))

Nova nodded, "There's a hangar under the base. Not many people know about it. We can get a ship, and make a plan from there. How's that sound?"

Broken Glass gestured the other two Krystazians to deposit the prisoners in the small, crystal-walled room he'd led them to through the translucent corridors of the Krystazian command ship. They were both fine, and from the messages he'd been receiving, might look forward to having more company. It seemed that a detachment had picked up on voice vibrations from one of the corridors off of the station's command center and they were closing in. [that's for Nova and Wolfkin by the way! ] ***** Shimei stalked along the corridor, the hefty chunk of metal in her grip bobbing slightly with her silent, almost springing stride. "Good 'droid," she commented to Reagan, her voice a low murmur. "How much do you estimate it can handle by way of damage?"

"Well I haven't dealt with them that much but I reckon it'd do well for a good solid hour of battle. Its one of the later models, with the in-built energy shield too. And it will communicate to other machines pretty quick." Reagan answered in a low voice as they hurried along.
"It will take a pounding before they can work out how to stop it."

Shimei grunted. "All the better for that energy shield. Should disrupt their communications with contact..."
She slowed suddenly. "Space! There's a couple of them right ahead!" She hissed, peering around the corner to where the Krystazians were clanging onto a ship of crystal. "They've got prisoners!"

Reagan nodded and flicked the activation switch on the droid to 'Armed'.
"Right you," he told it, "Get up to that ship and do your stuff. Ensure no prisoner is harmed, only the Krystazians. Got it?"
The driod flashed a green light and with its odd, stiff gait, walked out from their hiding place and straight toward the enemy ship where it was docked at its port.

Lilia and Aeve were dumped unceremoniously on the floor of the room, and almost immediately left alone. Lilia's head cracked off one of the crystalline walls, and for a few brief moments black haze swam before her vision and nausea welled up in her stomach.
It subsided fairly soon, leaving only a dull throbbing at the back of skull and other aches and pains where she had landed hard on the floor. So much for not being harmed.
She glanced over at Aeve, but the scientist still seemed to be unconscious, though she was breathing regularly. Nor did she seemed particularly harmed by the fall, but then if she had been hit by a stun blaster, as Lilia suspected, a few bruises would be the least of her problems when she woke up.

Wolfkin nodded, "Brillent, lead the way" she grinned motioning for Nova to lead.

Nova acknowledged Wolfkin's request by immediately turning and heading down another nearby hallway, "The stairs are over here," he muttered, "There's a security code on them. I ran across it one day when I was...exploring the base's computer systems. We're lucky the Krystazians aren't quite smart enough to break our security."
Nova applied pressure to the top left and right corners of a small panel of walling, and it slid open, along with the panel below it, as he removed his hands from the surface. Behind the panels, there were two things: a keypad and a door.
He entered the code as he'd remembered from the few times he'd let his curiosity get the best of him, exploring the hidden hangar.
42343*89223
The door clicked and popped open.
"After you," Nova said simply.

Wolfkin moved foward slowly her hand holding tightly to the sword at her side, "Nice place" she said looking around her eye's instictively falling on the tools, "And it has the equipment here for me to tune up."

Nova made sure the door closed behind them, then proceeded to follow Wolfkin.
"We should probably wait a bit before we take off, so feel free to take an precautions you think necessary," Nova said, "We'll want to wait until the Krystazians are pretty far off before we launch, otherwise they'll see us and just shoot us down."

Wolfkin nodded in agreement, but had already moved over to the work bench and was in the process of stripping off her glove. "Hey nova i may need a hand in a moment" as she ditched the glove onto the table she began examinin her metal arm. it looked like a normal arm, the metal looked like what her muscles would have down to the finest detail. All around the base of her neck where it met skin was red and looked sore. "any chance of finding me a med kit?" she asked as she scanned the tools infront of her looking for something in perticular to adjust the stiff arm. She found it and started work, ' "How long do you think we have, cause i've gotta do my leg too" she said quietly focusing on her work.

"We've got all the time we need," Nova said, "We're waiting on them to leave, and we've no need to hurry after them."
"I'll see what I can do about finding a med kit," he said as he walked along the nearest wall of the hangar, "They usually have them right on the walls."

"Thank you Nova" Wolfkin said as she began tightening and loosening bit's of her arm to make it comfortable.

Reagan's face split into a cherub-like grin as an explosion and the sounds of confused and angry Krystazians reached his ears. Peeping around the corner of the hall he caught a glimpse of acrid smoke and shapes moving - all heading toward the source of the explosion.
Several more bangs, another explosion and suddenly the noises ceased. Reagan waggled his eyebrows at Shimei cheerfully, rolling his eyes to indicate the direction the droid had taken.

"No problem," Nova muttered as he finally found, and grabbed, the first aid kit off of the wall.
He walked back over to Wolfkin, setting the kit down, "There you go."

She opened it and looked inside finding something to ease the pain in her arm. "So...what do you do around here?" she asked quietly wishing that her old medic was around.
