Ursa snored mercilessly her thoughts drifting into dreamworld. In her dream she sat on a pile of money dressed in a purple Zoley beast coat, her fingers, neck and earrings dripping in gold and diamonds. She leaned back, as Madonna's 'Material Girl' played in the background and sipped at a bright coral Bellini when suddenly she heard a splash and she pushed down her purple star shades to see a tall figure in the water. She scooted forward just as the man came up to the ladder to the left of her, his beautifully toned body glistening in the sun as he exited the water in slow motion. Ursa's breath caught in her throat as the handsome dark-haired hottie who seemed to resemble someone with a familiar roughish cowboy appearance came up to lean down near her. She bit her lip confidently leaning forward to kiss this beautiful creature when suddenly he reached up, his hands grazing her cheek, the moment of connection coming when suddenly a large alarm blared around her and she opened her eyes. She blinked, the ceiling a few inches from her face, her body hovering above her bed. She was sore all over and heavily confused so she rolled over looking at her room which was filled with floating books and CDs. A shiver of fear went up against her spine as she looked at her prized collection. She paused, her hands stretching out as she looked at her beloved items held in suspension. She whispered quietly to herself, "[color=00746b]No...My children...It's okay...Mama will get you all down...Nobody move. Slowly...slowly...AHHH...SHIIII![/color]" 

Suddenly everything hit the floor, including Ursa who the hit the ground roughly before being slammed into the side of the ship. She slapped the ground yelling loudly,"[color=00746b]CAN'T I GET JUST A FEW MINUTES OF PEACE! FOR FUCK'S SAKE WHAT IS IT NOW!!![/color]" 

She stood up slamming her hand on the com whilst grabbing a pair of pants, "[color=00746b]TAKASHI! MAC! WHAT'S HAPPENING?[/color]" All that came out was a garbled mess. She pressed her forehead against the wall before she grabbed up her guns and a rugged denim jacket. She slipped it over her bandages heading out into the hall towards the brig.

Mac was just about to respond to Jean when Anna came running in, "[color=f26522]SPACE PIRATES! We have a cruiser on our tale and the ship has taken heavy damage. We are pushing up to super speed but they should be catching up with us pretty soon. We better be battle ready.[/color]"

Mac groaned, "[color=fff200]How far are they?[/color]" 

Anna spoke hastily, her eyes darting to the messy kitchen and the 'guests', "[color=f26522]Around 5000 clicks, but they are catching up quickly. We are low on fuel to, so we can't go to full burn without either blowing the engine or running out in enough time. What are we going to do?[/color]" 

Mac went white, "[color=fff200]Shit. We need to look at the routes and prepare the crew for battle. You three stay here and don't...[/color]" 

Suddenly the ship lurched and the room turned in a 360-degree angle and the speed was visibly different. Most of the room crashed into the wall including Mac and Anna before the com went on and Ursa's smarmy voice carried out through the ship, "[color=00746b]Sorry for the detour assholes. Mac, Anna get to the bridge pronto! Bring Emmett, Juniper and the studmuffin...I mean Jean. YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH TAKASHI! Anyway. Hurry up![/color]"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Bridge
Ursa dropped the com and gave Takashi the finger before she turned to Damian, "[color=00746b]Damian let them take whatever heat we can send there way. Takashi, keep on course and Kira do what you can in the hull before we blow the airlock and we all get sucked into space.[/color]" 

She turned when Mac and the rest of the crew walked in. She gave Mac an exhausted look before he spoke up, "[color=fff200]Cooper. What the hell do you think you are doing and how are you even awake right now?[/color]"

Ursa turned painfully, "[color=00746b]We are in the Jerox galaxy about 80,000 clicks away from our destination. We ain't going to make that destination with the fuel we got now and we can't outrun these fuckers either. So we are low on fuel and enemies are at our back. If we try to go full burn to get away from them we could blow our ship so I turned us around, because not only are we going to outsmart those bastards, we are going to steal there fuel and weapons. Now as for your other question. We do not have any anaesthesia on this ship, but we do happen to have a pack of adrenaline needles. I am in an antagonizing amount of pain and honestly, I don't know how long this shit is going to last but I'm here, I'm mobile, and I want to show those pirates who really are the scourge of these space skies.[/color]" 

She howled walking past Mac over towards Takashi, "[color=00746b]Keep our line jagged and veer to the left if they set up their cannon blasters.[/color] She then finally turned to her guests, "[color=00746b]Emmett you still have your gun right. Prepare to use it. Juniper, if things go sour, turn into that little mouse creature and hide.[/color]" She paused turned to Jean and blushed three shades of red, "[color=00746b]We agree for this part of the junction that we are on the same side?[/color]" 

She paused, lifting up her hand for a shake. When she got one she pulled him close so that she could whisper in his ear, "[color=00746b]Good. Now don't make me regret this...[/color]" She handed him his gun before turning back to the screen, "[color=00746b]Alright. Let's do this. Damian! FIRE!!!!![/color]"
