An Inn, In, An In.

@La'kuus Quelin

Olan became the literal, physical depiction, of this face: o_O

Stepping over he looks at the bar. Points to it with one of his gloved hands, slowly opening his mouth as if to say something-then quickly shuts his mouth by putting his hand over it. Shaking his head gently. After a moment he puts his hand down and looks at her. "I think you are going to like travelling in space." Taking a moment before he continued. "Since you will get two to three of those everyday from the food dispensor as a snack." Doing his best not to think about the taste...or what was once the taste, and how it became something bland and unpleasant to eat after the thousandth time. She could see he was trying not to grimace by smiling at this point. "Not trying to talk bad on those...bars...but...I'm not a huge fan. Glad you like them, I know now who to give my extras too." This may be one of the reasons why her handshake may have been so...firm, he pondered.

The looks being given quickly hinted in the right direction. The woman stuffed her bar back into her pocket for a later use, pursing her lips together again. That is what she wanted to eat, but now that the captain doesn't want to talk about them it would only be rude to pester. "Well instead of all that, why don't we wrestle or fight to get our mind off it? I'm sure it'll fill the duration of the trip if you can go long enough without tiring out."
 
@La'kuus Quelin

He did not look in anyway ready to argue against that, nor even have the thought cross his mind. If it dared too, it would have hell to pay. "Well I guess that is a yes to the trip, will see if we can take off sooner than this evenin-" He looks down at his jacket as it begins to beep. Pulling out his holodisk, it showed an alarm for 'DEPARTURE CANCELLED, Tsk.F D2 sent to bay for inspection.', glaring the man right in the eye in bright blue letters.

"Uhhhmmm. Its time to go." And quite nearly launched himself towards the cockpit. Diving into the operators command chair, he began frantically pushing buttons on multiple control panels. The fangs and steel piece jangling above his head with all the swift motion. The ramps slowly closed in on the Avalons belly as the ship was pushed out of diagnostic checks into flight mode by its pilot. Engine roaring in what seemed joy as Olan set them loose, no longer idling. "I suggest strapping in!"He says brightly.

Seeing the clear concern in the man's face, and hearing it in his voice, La'kuus sat herself down and strapped in loosely. She looked over the controls, becoming familiar with them though she had never touched them before. She hoped she'd never have to either, not in this way for a case.

Keeping a straight face, she pulled out the ration bar and brought it to her lips, munching down very quietly as her eyes flickered around to the scene of the frantic man. "I know how it feels."
 
@La'kuus Quelin

Her words were lost on Olan as he quickly tapped several buttons to start the burnjets under the ship, propelling it vertical slowly as the landing gear stowed itself into the underbelly of the ship. Lights buzzed in and out of life as the ship came alive. Unlike what was below the ship, which was getting a very nice tan right now from the jets. Off to the right of the ship, La'kuus could probably see the passage way to the bay suddenly have a bunch of blue and black clothed security personnel running full tilt towards the ship. The jagged outline of carbine blasters in their hands were quickly replaced with the sudden flashes of light associated with blaster fire-and the bright red bolts generally. Thankfully none of the shots were impacting with the canopy, as the men and women were in a rush to try and hit SOMETHING-they mostly hit around the shoulder and neck of the canopy where armoring was.

A string of curses pealed out of the Spacer as he banked the ship slightly to the right so the canopy was less of a target, on the off chance they manage to pierce the duraglass and posi-shields with enough fire. This set the ship off course to clear the bay properly-and it impacted with a heavy thud against the outer lip of the bay door, shearing blocks of metal off the door and leaving a long scaling scratch on the port side. Dull ticking sounds of the blaster shots not impacting on the hull of the ship inneffectually.

As the ship gained altitude, the comms console began to beep madly with two incoming calls. Without a second thought, Olan opened up comms with the first with a deft poke of a single blue glowing button. "This is the Avalon." He said as he rammed the thruster bar forward, flattening Olan into his seat from the sudden gravitational change as they went from a slow climb-to nearly max speed.

With a face of granite, an old man wearing a dark blue and black security uniform showed up on the dash holo, like a living bust. This dour look sported on his wrinkled features, hair cut into a very festidious buzzcut. Something odd though, it looked like he had a company patch on his left shoulder...unusual for a security officer. "Avalon, this is Prime Security Sergeant Arnold Bal, you are to immediately to return to Bay-Twenty-Nine and kill your en-"

Olan didn't give the man time to finish his sentence as he ended the call and started the other. Growling under his breath; "Don't tell me to land after shooting at me, bub."

After a moment, a the holo showed the flappy jowled face of the Sullustan from earlier. Eyes wider than usual, either in anger or fear-one had a hard time knowing...atleast until he talked.

"Agh-Ba-Yutanu Orran! Mutaha-ji-la, enta-li! Bata-yu Orran, Nuta-tah, Feghtah urhu." Panic and fear and anger suffused every word of the Alien. Atleast it seemed that way, as its voice had gone from its drull to a high pitch shrill almost now. A several loud klaxons started to go off in the cockpit as a Freighter came into view of the canopy, Olan quickly plummeted the ship down to duck under the older HWK model freighter, and barely twisted the ship to the left in time to avoid clipping a civ-transport bus. Yanking the stick back up now to get some altitude back, aiming for the atmosphere for a moment, before flying back into traffic. One of the klaxons stopped, but one was still going off at a maddened pace, a red light popping up on the radar from behind their position, pulsating with each loud beep of the alarm.

"Thanks Vaun! We will get off world, don't worry...AND STOP CALLING ME!" And he shut down the comms quickly. Sparing a fleeting glance back at La. "You ever shot a gat-laser before?" Then snapped his head back forward, doing his best to avoid colliding with the crisscrossing ship and transport traffic infront of him. For some reason he wasn't trying to break atmosphere. In the background the warning alarm continued to beep on the radar between them, several more dots appearing...

Gentle, and almost graceful motions were pulled from the long haired woman as she ensured her straps were well in place, keeping her from flying off the ship when it got to flying. Hearing the buzz and hum of the ship, she turned her head to look out the glass. The poorly armored men and women didn't seem to realize you needed a bigger gun to actually do damage, much more take down a ship.

As the ship lurched forward, La'kuus felt her hair whip behind her in tiny white whips of braids. She quickly found herself adjusted to the speed, though the travel of the events happening all at once were a bit difficult to comprehend and piece together all at once. All the information was pushed to the side for now, as she needed her mind for other reasons. For example, when would she finish her protein bar...

At the question from the man piloting the ship involving what she could assume was a type of weaponry, she shook her head. "I've only used pistols, automatic, semi-automatic, and sniper rifles." She had a feeling today would be a proper chance to show what good she could do with a few well placed shots. A few hours everyday training for stuff like this had to assure she could at least hit an in-traffic target.
 
@La'kuus Quelin

"Well today is your lucky day. I'm gonna level off-" Suddenly he pitches the ship to the right so he doesn't hit a personnel transport and levels off, dipping slightly down."-and have you go back to the turret. Their going to ground traffic soon, and they will start shooting." Tapping a green painted switch, the comms radar popped to life on a projected holo. Several ships were after them, they did not look anything like security ships. Two were actual fighters, painted a sickly orange easily depicted even by the blue hue holo, short range types. And they had small ship-lock drones flying with them. "Passcodes One-Two-Three-Four-" Probably the most overused code of all time. "-and the chair should come down for use."

He yanked a headset off the hook to his side and jammed it onto his head as he continued a slow descent towards the ground, doing his best to avoid hitting anything.
 
[member="Olan Teff"]

La'kuus popped off her seat straps with a few motions, then jumped to the wall to keep her balance on it's form. Quickly traveling down to the turret system, with almost a small hint of excitement in her eyes, she entered the passcode and watched the seat come down for use. After buckling in once more, she rolled herself up, instantly looking out for her targets.

It wasn't every day La'kuus got to use a new weapon, though she sure did want to get in the habit of that. Rolling her hands against the controls with ease, she got ready to fire a few test shots at the incoming ships. "Disable or demolish?"
 
@La'kuus Quelin

"Both! Don't care!" A bit of joy etching into his voice over the commvox in the turret chair, giving a somewhat metallic sound to his voice. As she got a look out the gunnery canopy, she could see the two bright orange BLD lookalike attack fighters with the drones whipping around them like maddened bees, the paint scheme they had sure made them easy to pick out against other ships and vehicles-aswell as the sky. They are keeping a good distance back and aren't trying to chase them very hard, they had a hard enough time just dodging traffic.

On the console, she could see that there were two separate settings for fire rate, a single bolt denoted by a single bright red line, and a full auto one from the looks of it-as it had three strikes of red to the other. The turret seemed to be perfectly calibrated as it reacted instantly to any ministration from La. A single bright red crosshair popped up as the targeting system linked with the cannon itself, the FCS was up and running, even giving projected route to aim at for targets. For some reason, this turret had its software heavily upgraded from the looks of it.

"Traffic is dying down, get ready!" She could hear Olan again, even she could see that less and less ships were starting to show up in her view...
 
[member="Olan Teff"]

La'kuus took a single large breath and rested her hands on the main aiming unit, watching the ships with steady eyes. Thanks to her new contact lenses, giving her an improved 50x sight, she peered right into what she could see of the seats of the opposing ships, watching their movements for a better calibration.

As soon as the traffic moved out of the way dramatically, La'kuus whipped the battery to an innocent vehicle just trying to stay out of the chase, and hit the left engine so it would veer dangerously into the right, right where one of the two ships were going straight into. If her calculations were correct, it could hit the opposing ship, or at least force it into the air so she could get a better shot at it's belly, or straight into the hull.
 
@La'kuus Quelin

La would watch in satisfaction most likely as her gambit worked good-better than expected. The ship she shot certainly lost control, especially with the fact its driver was already panicked-and tried to yank the ship back away from others, only making it summersault back towards the approaching fighters. The one in its direct path seemed to have no problem shooting civilians-as it opened up on the spinning vehicle coming at him-and in turn caused his own demise, as the debris from the exploding ship smashed into its leftmost wing, shearing it clear from its base. Which sent the fighter in a wacky spin with its wings swatting down multiple drones which had been flying too close too it!

"Great shooting! HOLD ON!" Olan said over the comms as he tilted the ship up towards the atmosphere, twisting and banking left and right as the remaining fighter and the swarm of drones started to fire on the ship. Multi-colored green and red lasers stitched some burn marks on the back and belly of the ship, but nothing even remotely damaging.

The fighter obviously wasn't deterred from watching its compatriot fall to the earth to turn into a plume of smoke and fire, as he sped up his ship and followed the Avalon with increasing speed. Firing its twin-heavy lasers left and right, trying to pin the ship into the drones less accurate fire.
 
[member="Olan Teff"]

After the first shot out of the machine caused two ships to unexpectedly fall to their end, La'kuus switched to the less accurate machine and aimed carefully around at the new opposing targets. Aiming a little less carefully than before, she tried to make quick work of shooting each little target like she had been practicing in her training grounds. Only difference was, she could control her whole ship (body) while working.

Eyes flickering at the machines, a tiny little pulse went up into La'kuus' mind. She suddenly reached into her pocket and pulled out the bar, stuffing a good bit of the portion in her mouth with one hand while her other kept on the good work.
 
@La'kuus Quelin

Each of the bolts that ripped out of the blaster cannon had some sort of effect on their pursuers-La would see the fighter break off, frantically trying to make sure it wasn't hit-even though she was aiming at the much smaller drones which were steadily closing in. The pilot was probably worried he was going to end up like his compatriot. Each of the little drones continued to just fly forward without much thought to their continued existence, as each one was falling to pieces under the hail of lasershot raining down on them. Only a few little ones on the port side were starting to get a little too close for comfort, having given up shooting to try and grab hold of the hull-little grapple spikes jutting out of their bellies at this point, priming to fire.

By the time La had finished with peppering the crowd, there would be but only a handful left and the fight whom was STILL taking evasive maneuvers out of fear.

She could see though they were nearly out of the atmosphere now as the ground was getting further and further away. What was once big was getting smaller. She could hear the afterburners on the ship kick to life. What was once a roar, was now a crashing crescendo of fire to its occupants within.
 
[member="Olan Teff"]

Chewing steadily on the protein bar, the woman blinked a few times at the few remaining. She rained a few more lopsided shots down, then climbed from the turret to get back onto the main floor of the ship. "I can't pick the rest off, they're too close. We're going to have to jump, or something."

The casual voice sounded as it closed in on the pilot.
 
@La'kuus Quelin

"Good shooting, you got us enough time to get to Orbit...and hell, more than bloodied their nose it seems." He says without looking back at the woman, right now slowly flipping a series of switches in a long line one after the other. Even with the klaxon going off still denoting the three drones on the port side, he seemed not too bothered. She could see once in the cockpit that the radar no longer picked up the last fighter. It gave up the chase.

"I suggest taking a seat in a moment, going to make a jump." This time he looked back at her, she could see a little soot on his face, and a broad grin. The air reeked of burning plastic in the cockpit, and a little smoke hung in the air still while the ventilators worked overtime to clean the air. It was nearly seamless as they went from planetary gravity to artificial gravity in the ship, it felt like it hadn't changed at all. Which kind of threw ones equilibrium off a bit, but not much, as there felt to be a slight pressure difference.

A soft thunk rung through the hull suddenly. "Sounds like a hitchhiker. Hold on." He reached for the hyperdrives main control throttle, depressing the safety release as he waited for her to get locked in.
 
[member="Olan Teff"]

The woman settled herself into the chair, neatly straightening out her oversized sweater that went well down to her thighs. She looked over the controls of the man's ship as he worked, catching on small differences, but nothing to be too concerned about as of yet.

She felt a small tingle in her stomach, after the heat of the excitement wearing off for her to actually have a chance to realize what she just done, in her first real space flight. La'kuus felt proud of herself for doing it, even if it was just a few fighters. "Where to?"
 
@La'kuus Quelin

He looks back at her with a grin. "To Nar Shadda." She could see a infectious glee in the young man as he turned back to the view of the stars out of the canopy-blue, green, red dots, twinkling at them like thousands of souls, waving at them in greeting, calling to the inner explorer in all of us.

Slowly pushing the hyperdrives control lever forward, the ship lurched it seemed forward-but it didn't. The inner ear wasn't fooled though, as the once twinkling stars began to turn into lines of differing colors and shapes as they jumped to hyper space. It only lasted a matter of moments for the two of them as they launched themselves into the encroaching darkness. Everything returning to normal after what seemed a long minute. Checking the grid coordinates they were at, they were quite off from their intended destination. A little grumble escaped the lips of Olan at that.

"Foul hitchhiking bot." He spat as he started to run diagnostics on the ship, reading them carefully on the dashboard screen.
 
[member="Olan Teff"]

La'kuus stayed quiet throughout the trip, watching the stars boredly as they shot past like dribbling milk. She looked to the pilot with a small confused face, then looked to the side of the room. "Those things don't work all the time. It's better to land and clean it out before it's friends arrive to every place you go, in my opinion."
