The dashboard of the Vertibird lights up like a Christmas tree as a siren signals the pilot they have less than 2 gallons of fuel left. The Vertibird soon slows down and jumps out of light speed. As Dwaine begins scanning the dashboard for how much is left and if there are any other problems, Colonel Washington walks into the cockpit and looks at Dwaine.

[color=9e0b0f]"Dwaine,"[/color] Washington starts,[color=9e0b0f] "What's the problem? We're not at the planet, and you seem to have come to a complete stop." [/color]Washington then looks at the dash and sees the fuel gauge is near empty. [color=9e0b0f]"Oh shit,"[/color] He mumbles looking at it, [color=9e0b0f]"Less than 2 Gallons... We can't get the bounty if this thing can't fly to the planet where he is."[/color]

[color=1a7b30]"What do we do sir?"[/color] Dwaine asks, looking up at his commanding officer, [color=1a7b30]"We're in a part of the sector that should be uninhabited. There isn't any life for light years, sir."[/color]

[color=9e0b0f]"To start, turn off all nonessential functions."[/color] He pauses as Dwaine begins flipping switches, pulling levers, and pushing buttons. Finally he stops and looks up at Washington. [color=9e0b0f]"Good, now do a quick scan of the sector and see if there are any planets or ships in the area."[/color]

[color=1a7b30]"Already on it, sir!"[/color] Dwaine says as he begins to type and a small blip sound is heard. Washington sits down in the Co-Pilot seat and waits for a few minutes as Dwaine types away. Washington begins to fall asleep when Dwaine suddenly startles him. [color=1a7b30]"Sir,"[/color] he shouts in excitement,[color=1a7b30]"I got a large cruiser in this sector, it's the perfect distance and I think if I could contact it we could convince them to let us buy some fuel."[/color]

[color=9e0b0f]"Excellent,"[/color] Washington stands up, [color=9e0b0f]"Get that frequency ASAP, and alert me when you have it. I'm going to go let the team in on what the current situation is."[/color] Dwaine nods and Washington walks out into the area with his crew. The crew turns to him and wait for the update on what's happening.[color=9e0b0f]"Alright... Well right now we're in a bit of a situation. We have less than 2 gallons of fuel left and we are in a near empty area of the sector. Luckily we have located a cruiser close enough to the ship that we might be able to get there and convince them to let us get some supplies and fuel. Right now Dwaine is in there trying to get their radio frequency to make sure it's done before we waste our fuel to get there." [/color]

[color=a0410d]"Pft. Are you kidding me?"[/color] Scott chuckles sounding annoyed. [color=a0410d]"We're in a sector void of life, we are almost out of fuel, and you expect this cruiser will love to aid us? Look, there's only one way that it will, and even then it's questionable. If it's a resistance carrier.[/color] Washington scowls a bit at the word "Resistance". [color=a0410d]"You know I'm right, right about joining up with the resistance, and you know we could help if we joined 'em. Plus, we wouldn't have to worry about situations like this where we are damn near dead because we have 2 gallons of fuel and little amounts of supplies. So I ask why? Why don't we join 'em?"[/color]

[color=9e0b0f]"I've explained this a hundred times over!"[/color] Washington says, trying not to raise his voice. [color=9e0b0f]"We are loyal to the Enclave, and the Enclave only. I know their battle is just, but our main concern is getting the credits so we can get Multiversal technology so we can return home."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Sir,"[/color] Hibbard says, looking up at his commander, [color=6ecff6]" I do believe Sergeant Autumn is right, that the best solution to our problems is to join the Resistance in their fight. Not only that, but morally it is the right thing to do."[/color]

Colonel Washington sighs and looks over at Natalie. [color=9e0b0f]"Luna,"[/color] he says sounding defeated, [color=9e0b0f]"What's your thoughts on this?"[/color]

She looks up from her Pip-boy and at Washington. [color=fff200]"I agree with their thoughts. That is all, sir."[/color]she then returns to her Pip-Boy. Before Washington can say another word, Dwaine calls out from the cockpit.

[color=1a7b30]"Sir, I got the radio frequency. Listening to it, it sounds like a resistance radio frequency."[/color] Washington sighs and steps into the cockpit and takes a seat. [color=1a7b30]"Here ya go, sir."[/color] Dwaine hands him the comms device. 

[color=9e0b0f]"To the nearby resistance vessel, this is Lieutenant Colonel Richard Washington of The Enclave. We currently are 300 klicks away from your position and we have enough fuel to reach your vessel. We currently need fuel and supplies, and I'm requesting the authority to dock and refuel and buy supplies. Any fuel and supplies bought will be paid for in full by credits." [/color]He pauses and looks at his crew. [color=9e0b0f]"I am also requesting to meet either the admiral or General aboard your vessel for allying purposes. Please respond ASAP. This message repeats."[/color] As he puts down the comm and turns it off he hears his message come over the radio, repeating in hopes that the resistance will hear it. He sighs and steps back with his crew. 

[color=a0410d]"Thank ya, sir."[/color] Autumn smiles as Washington sits down.
