[i]"So I gather you have had experience with explosives such as the ones mentioned?"[/i]

"If it blows things up. I've used it. Gotta keep tabs on the latest and greatest in things that go [b]Boom[/b] with a capital [b]B[/b]," Teg began before the ship shuddered beneath her. She never talked much about her past or her past jobs with the rest of the crew. She had learned early on in her career as a mercenary that it was best to remain mysterious and aloof. People had a nasty habit of judging you for blowing up a space station or two. The Colonial Defense Forces had taught her all that she needed to know about combat demolition and she had simply expanded upon her training as she jetted across the galaxy. It wasn't that she was ashamed of what she had done. She wasn't. At least that was what she told herself. But mercenaries weren't much loved to begin with. She wasn't going to stoke the fire with stories of her own ethically tricky contracts and questionable actions.

[i]"Attention all hands, we’ve got a little bit of unfriendly behavior. Teg, get to the port turret."[/i]

Hearing the captain over the comms, Teg was momentarily caught between annoyance at having her inspection of the sabotaged fuel line interrupted and her joy at imminent combat. Lust for excitement and a fresh shot of adrenaline eventually won out and Teg accepted that she would have to wait to examine what remained of the explosives that hard torn the fuel lines apart. Shifting her focus, Teg recovered in a heartbeat and pivoted away from the engine room in a flurry of motion, avoiding crashing into the following Itho only by mere centimeters.

Moving with each shake of the ship as it took incoming fire, Teg darted forward with legs that had long since gotten used to motions of a space ship, even a space ship trying to dodge incoming enemy fire. As she moved, Teg grabbed hold of Kai's hand practically dragging him along with her towards the Medical Bay. Stumbling from a particularly violent spread of laser fire that seemed to shake the entire ship, Teg managed to gracefully grab a railing before she fell. Resting for a moment, she flashed Kai a warm smile and placed a hand on his shoulder. Squeezing tightly she pointed further down the corridor,"Doc, I'm going to go shoot down some probable pirates. Try not to die."

Without waiting for a reply, Teg turned away from the Itho and broke into a fast, low run. Following the momentum of the ship as it danced around the bright lasers bolts of the enemy ship, Teg bounced off the walls of the ancient ship with deft movements. Practically rolling into the turret, Teg brought the laser battery online as fast she could. Taking aim at the enemy ship as it hurtled past her, Teg squeezed off a series of bolts that sizzled into the hull of the enemy vessel with a satisfying flash of energy.
