[b]As Ernest[/b]
"What an idiot" Ernest's tone significantly more irritated than usual. "The second wave? No, I will not deal with more elephants. I refuse."

 Before saying anything else, he complies with the "warning shot" part of Fanny's orders. His heaviest yield attack is the Photon Shell. He'd hate to waste one as a warning shot, but he assumes Fanny's warning means that the only thing he could get NEAR his enemy's ship. Yes, his enemy. Ernest at this point considers Rufus an active threat.

Ernest launches a Photon Shell out, aiming it directly at the hull of Rufus's ship, and having it's slight guided capabilities knock it off course by as little as possible, so if he were successful, he would send the projectile literally grazing along the ship's side. Afterwards, he sent another message.

 "Rufus, I made myself VERY clear, and YOU did NOT listen. That was a warning shot. Next shot is intended to hit you. You will cease this 'second wave' emedently or I WILL unleash my full firepower on you and tear you apart. Do you understand, Rufus?"

Ernest moved a bit closer, within range of most of his main guns, all of which were activating and all of which ready to unleash hell on Rufus. Ernest was convinced he would have to destroy Rufus and was ready to do so.

[b]As Siren and Rodia[/b]
Gamma was only a little surprised. "Oh, that's convenient." He then sees that Siren is bleeding, which actually startles him a bit. "Woah, what's going on with you?!"

 Siren responds "I don't know, but it's good you two are here. SOMETHING is going on, and I need your help. Gamma, did you have the information downloaded to you? I think you would be helpful in the installation of Rodia's warp drive and defence systems."

 Gamma: "I... I don't know. I could check."

 Siren: "Well then check. If you do, meet me by the location we are going to install the warp drive."

 Siren then leaves, bring Rorod and Lars with her to help. Gamma stands confused. He's still a bit baffled by Siren, but maybe he'll understand her some day. He also realized he didn't get an answer on why Siren was bleeding.

He then looks through his internal files to see if he has whatever Siren was talking about.

Ramrod stares in frustration for a good solic 30 seconds. Then he mraoh's "Yo spaceship..... could ya activate my Zeal thingamabob for me? And maybe give me some more of that mraohing dope? Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks in advance."
