Every so often, he could see the glimps of shields reflecting and deflecting plasma torpedo and laser fire. [color=a187be]“Status”[/color] He asked the hulking fishman next to him. His brother in arms and closest ally. Huey towered over him by a good 2 feet, but spoke in a deliberate, intelligent manner. He was both strong and intelligent, a perfect second in command. [color=a2d39c]“The ISS Lightning has sustained enough shield damage for a boarding”[/color] Huey said as he made the battlemap project before them. Showing the ISS lightning in a high detail render, updating in real life as it took damage from the pirate fleets barrage. [color=a187be]“And her escorts?”[/color] Hara asked, pointing to the smaller gunships trying to come to the larger ships aid. [color=82ca9d]“The ISS Machinea is about to blow an-”[/color] Hueys word stopped in his mouth as bright blue explosion lit up the viewscreen. “Any minute..” He finished with a slight grin. Another explosion briefly lit up space as the other escort ship of the ISS Lightning went up in fire. [color=a187be]“That would be the Stalwart then”[/color] Hara said, a manic, amused edge to his voice. There was a sense or warped and terrible enjoyment in the way he carried himself. Huey on the other hand, looked almost bored. This was a job, they were good at it . If the world wanted to judge them for it, it should have treated them more kindly as kids. His moment of contemplation was distrupted by his more wired and highly strung brother strapping his energy saber to his hip. [color=a187be]“Prepare me a boarding party. Get me two engineers and… five footpads. That should be more then enough.” [/color] [color=a2d39c]“The ISS have a contingent of at least 100 Icarian Marines.”[/color] Huey said, one scaley eyebrow raised. Icarian were a race that lived for combat. But Hara had no doubt he could handle them with a little backup. [color=a187be]“Hm. You are right. Give me Tenga and her marauders. They are always up for a little dicey fun. Tell them we are going full metal on this one, no energy weapons.”[/color] Hara spoke while walking over to pack up hi suit. Slipping it on, he clicked the chest protector and a myriad of small nano enhanced scales flowed out and interlocked across his entire body from neck down. Rolling his arms, the armor rippled like water across his skin as it adjusted. [color=82ca9d]“Right you are Captain.”[/color] Huey grinned before barking a few orders into his com “TENGA, GET YOUR GIRLS UP AND READY. NO ENERGY WEAPONS, BRING YOUR BlADES AND KINETICS.” There was a howling laugh on the other end as Tenga, a certifiably insane lieutenant of theirs had clearly been hoping for a chance to cut loose. As they rounded the last corner to the launch bay, they saw Tenga and her crew. They were from all over the galaxy and some possibly from outside it, all of them the worst kind of remorseless killers and coldblooded to the core. They all wore spacesuits of similar make to that of Hara, only styled different. [color=a187be]“We are hitting the Lightning, Huey will direct the fleet to cut off any rescue attempts. We are going heavy metal on this, no energy weapons. They are bound to have reflector shields and energy dampeners installed. Once we are inside the vault, blades only. We don't want the place to go up in a plasma chainreaction.“[/color] Hara stepped Onto the boarding Shuttle with the others as he barked orders, the court boarding crew answering wih slow, deliberate nods. When he was done his face split in a grin. [color=a187be]"Remember girls, we take no prisoner today. We are the scalpel that cuts the cancer out of this universe, we are the heated knife cauterizing the bleeding wound."[/color] He grinned a horrifying and cold grin as the shuttle launched at high speed. "We are the Bloody Rose Crew, and we got a reputation to uphold." ---- Interstellars Peace Corps: Commander Amelia stared at the report. "Damnit Hara..." She gritted her teeth as she replayed the footage of one violent nad ruthless boarding crew expertly cut a swathe trough the poeple onboard the ISS lightning. "What were you after" She flipped trough some other holovids and a detailed map of the ship. One area was showing up as just solid metal. A place were the cemeras where nonexistent. Her eyes widened and she began flipping trough information about the ship. "Oh no" She stepped away from her work, grabbing on of the Cadettes. "Get the Grand Admiral on the line now! We got a huge problem"
