[i]The Prize[/i]


The elevator stopped after a less than ten second trip to the lab. When she arrived at her lab, she saw Daniels had the canisters and her supplies already in place. Robin gave a nod and said to the lab's computer she named "Baby", [color=00aeef]"Okay Baby, Time to get to work.[/color]" Baby replied, "Acknowledged Dr. Pearson."  Robin quickly became a whirlwind of activity. Flicking switches on one console and pushing buttons on another. While yelling various commands at Baby, "[color=00aeef]Increase the Argo output by 25% decrease the proto-matter matrix by 20%[/color]" or "[color=00aeef]Give me a protein synthetic of Lyncome and Santor over a Nuclonic cell base.[/color]" Robin told Nick all she needed was 20 minutes. She looked at her watch and saw that only 14 minutes had passed. Robin placed the cylinders in a room, hooked them up to a processing unit, and said to Baby, "[color=00aeef]Fill 'em up Baby and then process the antidote pills, Make sure no one leaves the ship without taking one. Otherwise, if they start hallucinating or getting punch drunk it's their fault. I'll be back in 5.[/color]" 

Robin bolted down to the supply bay. She grabbed a space suit and helmet, a bag for the cylinders, a gravity harness, a set of tools, a gravity bolt, and a gravity pouch. Robin felt something in her stomach as she took a deep breath. Without saying a word she went to her quarters. Robin laid everything on her bed and opened her closet. She pulled out her old commando uniform and stared at it for a few seconds. The last time she wore it twelve of her teammates were killed, and Robin kept it as a reminder that nothing in life is a given. The fact she nearly died was irrelevant to Robin but the sting of losing her team was more painful than anything else. In this case though, Robin felt she might gain a small measure of revenge against the pirates. As if the uniform were a person she said, "[color=00aeef]Don't make me regret this.[/color]" Robin stripped out of her Prize uniform and put on her commando uniform. She looked at herself in a mirror and said, "[color=00aeef]It still fits[/color]." Robin knelt down and said a silent prayer. When she was done she crossed herself and said, "This one is for you my comrades." Robin then slipped her old service weapon in a holster and patted the weapon twice.

Robin put on the spacesuit and grabbed the rest of her gear as she left her room. She went to the lab and Baby said, "Your cylinders are ready Dr. Pearson and the antidote pills have been distributed.' Robin put the cylinders in her bag and replied, "[color=00aeef]Thank you Baby wish us luck.[/color]" Baby said, "Good luck, and until we meet again Dr. Pearson be safe." Robin made her way to the shuttle bay and boarded the shuttle with the rest of her team.

[i]Under The Pirate ship[/i]

Once the shuttle was positioned under the ship the pilot said, "We're in place and all indications are we haven't been discovered."

Robin looked out from the cockpit and replied, "[color=00aeef]Trust me Lieutenant if we were discovered we would already be dead.[/color]" Robin looked over to the Lieutenant and said, "[color=00aeef]Keep your comm open, if you hear me say the word 'apples', get this shuttle back to the Prize on the double. Tell them to take off, and get to the nearest outpost. Then alert ISA Command that the mission failed. If we lose the Pirates will have a boarding party ready to try and take the Prize in less than five minutes. Pirates with a ship like the Prize under their command.[/color]" Shaking her head Robin said, "[color=00aeef]The damage they could cause with the Prize would be unimaginable. That can't happen Lieutenant under any circumstance. That is a direct order. Understood?[/color]"

The Lieutenant replied, "Understood ma'am."

Robin walked towards the back of the shuttle and grabbed her gear. She put on the helmet and said to the gathered crew, "[color=00aeef]Good luck one and all.[/color]" Robin said to the Lieutenant, "Activate teleporter." 

Within the blink of an eye, Robin found herself floating in space. She activated the gravity harness and she was pulled towards the underside of the ship. Robin looked around at the massive ship around her and felt so small as she said, "[color=00aeef]This looked a lot smaller on the display.[/color]" She then began to crawl towards the first environmental unit. Once there Robin rotated within the harness so she wasn't working upside down. Robin pulled out a screwdriver and took out the bolts from the panel. She put them in the gravity pouch and secured it to the ship, and then removed the panel from the unit. Using the gravity bolt she secured the panel to the ship and said, "[color=00aeef]Can't have anyone by chance seeing you float away[/color]."  Robin reached in her bag and pulled out a cylinder. Quickly she spliced the cylinder into the ship's oxygen intake unit. Hearing no alarms or seeing any lights flashing made Robin breath a bit easier. She said, "[color=00aeef]They'll know in a minute that it worked when the crew starts acting a bit punch drunk and maybe even sees some mild hallucinations[/color]." 

Robin put the panel back in place and moved onto the next one.
