[colour=darkkhaki]"Colin,"[/colour] wheezed Giggles appreciatively, [colour=darkkhaki]"I get the feeling you're gonna be one hell of a shipmate."[/colour] His knuckles briefly rapped the engineer's shoulder. [color=darkkhaki]"Both of you."[/color]

Elsewhere, something exploded. Probably nothing important, but Giggles ducked by instinct only to whip around and watch the falling glass gun-first. Now there [i]would[/i] be fires. All good, though. The adrenaline was finally running.

[colour=darkkhaki][i]Looks like one smug bitch,[/i][/colour] thought Giggles, as the advertisement board on the side of the damaged building fell off and gave him yet another view of the smarmy brunette. [color=darkkhaki]"Don't worry too much about her or bloodsport for now. I see a chain motor under that drawbridge, 'bout a metre left of the first railing. Do you think you can lock it up?"[/color] Giggles kept his head neutral, subtly pointing to the strutting girl with a free hand. [colour=darkkhaki]"I really don't trust her not to put a river between us, and I [i]really[/i] don't want to meet any more fish this week."[/colour]

He kept studying the young woman. Her hair was wet, her eyes just a little unfocused, and though Giggles gave her at least a six, he doubted that skin tight suit was civilian gear. It wasn't clingy enough, damnit.

...

Oh yeah, and there was a sizable puncture in it, just above and outwards from where Giggles had been looking. His foot tapped. The skin underneath looked bruised. Ideas came into his head, some of them concerning.

He felt like he had a good idea of how to get this smirking piece of shit's attention, though.

[colour=darkkhaki]"Hey, four-eyes!"[/colour] Giggles turned towards the girl and waved with his free glove, though he didn't take his aim off the exploded building behind him, or lower his gun too much. He could shoot backwards if he had to. [colour=darkkhaki]"Nerd with the ponytails! We heard someone was shooting corps and came running. Better scurry and let the big girls take care of it, huh?"[/colour]

Familiar face? What familiar face? Giggles hadn't seen that face in his life. He put his hand on his hip and fell into a slight pose, then wagged his eyebrows at SIGINT, once.
