[center][h1] Lucifer's Left Nut: Bridge[/h1][/center] The Captain adjusted her hat as she surveyed the final preparations for their mission. Through the front window the massive portal lay in front of them...a portal that she had seen more times than she could recall. An odd feeling of excitement gripped her gut as she managed a bit of a smile. Once this was all said and done, they would be putting an end to a six thousand year old tradition of being invaded by insects. She tapped on Jackal's shoulder to signal that it was time to make the final announcements before they entered the portal. The girl pressed a few holographic buttons and the telltale ping of the ship's comms resounded throughout the entirety of the Left Nut. [color=bc8dbf]"Everybody, it's time."[/color] She began simply, the slight smirk she had been fostering becoming a full blown grin. [color=bc8dbf]"Now's the time that Falchion shows the rest of humanity exactly how to end a recurring infestation. Our contract is simple; we enter the portal, find the source of these Buzzers, and turn it into a parking lot."[/color] She paced slightly. [color=bc8dbf]"It's true that as no ship has ever returned through that portal, we can't be guaranteed that we won't simply disintegrate the moment we touch it. That said, what's the point of being the universe's most infamous mercenary company if we don't put our Nut to the flame on the occasion? This won't be the first time that Falchion has accomplished something that nobody else believed to be possible, nor the first time that we've obliterated an opponent that has crushed everybody sent before us. Don't forget, my crew, that THIS is what Falchion does. This, is what YOU do." [/color] In the background a single party horn could be heard, reminding the Captain that they had literally just been celebrating her own birthday. [color=bc8dbf]"Thanks for reminding me Jackal."[/color] She said, giving their helmsman a thumbs up. [color=bc8dbf]"The soldier that brings me the head of whatever's in charge of these things won't just be giving me the best birthday present I've ever had...But you'll be entitled to the rest of my cake."[/color] She said matter-of-factly. Of course this being the Captain's own birthday cake, it alone was worth more than eighty million credits. "[color=bc8dbf]So, let's get in this portal, exterminate some bugs, figure out how to get home, and bankrupt the entire Union with our reward!"[/color] She finished with a resounding cheer echoing throughout the ship.
