[b]Sazkarjhit message[/b] [i] Hello, this is Commander Reyes II, honor to meet you, Grand Vessel. These Pirates just launched a black hole at one of my sub-fleets, we're about to unload some of our experimental weapons unless you have any better plans. We plan on taking that weapon as well, if you would like to help us, I'm sure we would have no problem in sharing this...weapon with you. No doubt this would bring some respect from the Domi, too[/i] [b] Inside the Pirate Fleet[/b] "Are we latched?" "Yep..let's do what we do best, radio channels on.." "5...4...3...2...1..Triple F, boys! Fuck 'em up!" A flash grenade, followed by two hand grenades flew down from the ceiling, unleashed mayhem on anyone nearby. Across the hall, other FFF procedures were being conducted by four other teams. Ship? The source of the black hole synthesizer. While most boarding teams evacuated to a nearby planet, those defiant after seeing the black hole expand into their sub-fleet, well, they came back. "Lieutenant Luke, you've dealt with boarding lizard ships before, yeah?" asked one of the captains, walking with his team over to Luke's team. "Yes, we move fast, we move swift, but we're [i]not[/i] destroying this ship. We need it, get control of this ship and crash it onto the planet nearby. What's its name?" "O-P for now, sir" "Alright, get moving!" [b]Colony 257[/b] Mid-afternoon, a nice breeze started to kick in. For the innkeeper, this day was slow, very slow. But he still had to deal with his...friends. Before they escaped, [i]somehow[/i] he needed to speak with them, before his chance was lost. He walked on over to their door, cautiously, and knocked gently, his throat choking him with anger and fear. "We need to talk..before you leave" he said. [b]Alto Hills[/b] "Are we safe, Pa'?" asked the boy. "We're almost at the police station, we'll file a report there" "WHAT!?" screamed Kal "We can't!" "They took my son, Kal!" said the father. "They're Saints! I'm mad enough that we had to kill them!" "And you know what would happen if we hadn't" said the father, warily watching the boy. "Listen, I know, but I can't deal with death in my family, not this town" "Did you see those pods..err...'meteors' crash down last night? We're gonna see a lot of death [i]real soon[/i]" "You work with the Saints, can't you just call them off, then?" Kal sighed "Kent...they know the child, you're more fucked that ever. You need to leave this place, I'm sorry, but the boy is not safe here anymore. Tracy is gonna be destroyed in mere days, anyways. I can only give you that one warning. You need to get your family of 25-7 as soon as possible. Get yourselves away from the colonies, and if you can't get to the states or home worlds, get to the Equestrians, maybe the Collective. Find someone to help you! Hell, maybe even the sazkarjhit could!" The father sighed, staring at his boy, who was sleeping heavily on the dad's shoulder. How are they gonna get off a technical prison? [b]Commander Fro[/b] Subordinates ran up to the Commander, relaying a message. "sir, we aren't finding anything too strange so far." "hmm.." thought the Commander "They could be hiding in the hills, ever see anything up in there?" "Sometimes, sir..sometimes" "Yes yes, scout mechs. I want scout mechs rapped all over those hills, searching it top to bottom. Find anyone up there, I want to know ASAP." "Sir!" "Oh yeah, and the hotels, you checked em, yeah?" "They seemed fine" "Check them again, they might have been ignorant enough to go into them. No way they would've known not to go into a Hach Colony" said the Commander. He was right, in a way, though he only guessed.
