[center][b][h3][i][color=indianred]Vermillion LED's caress the darkness of their ship's bay in false warmth.[/color][/i][/h3][/b][/center] Kuonlos sat on the cargo door of The Chimera and watched the Reavers spill out of their ship and begin their slaughter. The citizens scattered in all directions, seeking safety. So long as none of them tried to find refuge on their ship. [color=c00048]"Ah, shit.[b] Dahal, get the ship fired up. We need out before we're expected to feed any"[/b][/color], he called. No more watching them approach. He walked to his weapon stash, located near the entrance of the cargo hold. [color=c00048][i]Errrr..... a nice hammer. Break their hands. At least then they might heal.[/i][/color] This hammer he brought to the cargo door. The hands grasping for saftey it did meet, to shrieks of pain and despair. They'd not like the company on this ship, anyway. Karna saw the putrid filth from his position of laid out upon the floor. [i]"If you shut the door Kuonlos, we wouldn't be worried about uninvited guests."[i] Responded Karna as he rose to his feet. [/i]"I believe we better help them now. If you won't I will."[/i] The statement was a blanket statement to his two comrades Kuonlos and Dahal. Taking a moment to register his stability and shake off the remaining sensations of the night before. The populace here knew how to drink apparently. Removing a tattered burnt umber blanket from what looked at first as the outline of another being, instead it was Karna's secondary weapon of choice his [b]VNX-99 .AP[/b]. [i]"Dahal, keep the ship steady."[/i] Stepping beside Kuonlos who had returned with a hammer to fight off the people that tried to enter. [i]"Always the one to get bloody."[/i] Karna said in jest as his left hand smacks into Kuonlos' shoulder. [i]"Let me in there."[/i] Karna said as he shifts to the middle of the door. What happened next was a variety of sounds best scribed as mechanical as magnetic anchors securely lock Karna against the floor of the ship as he raised his weapon to his shoulder. [i]"Reavers, always a bore to hunt."[/i] He mutters to himself, falling silent as he takes aim, finger twitching to remove the safety. [i]"Pilot us well Dahal. I'll save who I can without allowing them close to the ship."[/i] Karna's helmet synced with his rifle allowing him to use real time calculations to callibrate shots. He saw the flashes of purple essence past overhead and the reavers falling one by one. Then Karna fired. The bullet, a modified armour piercing tracer round collided with a reaver fighter ship. The round punctured a hole through the chassis, electronics and pilot causing the ship to eratically veer to the right. A loud hiss escapes Karna's [b]VNX-99 .AP[/b] ignored by the operator as he watched his mark collide with another ship and those two began to collide into multiple other ships in plumes of fire, smoke and shrapnel. Up in the quarters, Dahal had been nuzzling his head into the softest mound of pillows, with the rest of his body splayed over the rest of the bed. The wonderful bliss of laying on a confortable pile of soft woundn't last much longer however, as the sounds of combat from outside began to stir him. It was Kuonlos' voice coming through the commes combined with the ship's AI bringing up warnings about the force outside on holographic displays that finally roused him. The displays followed the Inari as he sat up, swinging his legs off the side of the bed as he manipulated the displays and gave commands to the ship. As he did so mechanical arms came down from the ceiling and began attaching his armor to his form, partway through his final crewmember, Karna, came over the comm. Dahal didn't respond yet, merely rolling his eyes and finishing with the ship setup and let it put his armor on Once up he used his power to teleport straight down to the ships cargo bay, appearing a bit behind his teammates. As he walked up to behind them the ship's AI forwarded a message to his helmet: [b][center][color=Orange]"This is Captain Sardis of the Cerebrus Gate to anyone on this channel. There's a blockade forming around Teresg as we speak! We'll need to work together to get off planet! To anyone reading this that can get to air! Get to the Cerebrus Gate on the Southeastern side! We are setting up anti-air to cover any pursuit! I say again! If you can get off the ground, get behind the Cereberus Gate! We can only get out of this if we have as many ships as we can get!"[/color][/center][/b] The Inari sighed as he came up beside his crew, streching out a hand toward one of the reavers behind the crowd. Dark purple energy would build up in his hand for a short second before lancing out in a beam, hitting straight through one of the reavers and killing it instantly [color=630460]"Oh let them cower in the hold Kuon, we have bigger problems than a few stowaways"[/color] [color=c00048]"What was that, Da? I can't hear you over this."[/color]. The hammer makes a dull whoosh, then a sharp [i]THUD[/i] A small chuckle, then a smiling voice [color=c00048]"Eheh heh heh... Never gets old.[/color] [i]THUD[/i] Dahal looked out over the situation and saw several Reaver fighters head towards the ship. The AI was already on it however, and the booming sound of the ships defenses could be heard firing on the first squadron. As for Dahal he raised his hand again, this time holding it more toward the sky than the enemy. Dark purple energy would again build in his hand but this time it stayed there and a rift would open in the sky. From this rift came hurling a small comet, strikiing a fighter from the sky on it's way down before devastating another group of reaver soldiers coming for their ship. [color=630460]"We'll be off the ground soon. Just keep the violent ones from getting aboard"[/color] Karna's helmet synced with his rifle allowing him to use real time calculations to callibrate shots. He saw the flashes of purple essence past overhead and the reavers falling one by one. Then Karna fired. The bullet, a modified armour piercing tracer round collided with a reaver fighter ship. The round punctured a hole through the chassis, electronics and pilot causing the ship to eratically veer to the right.
