Hensen looked uncertain. "Well..." He stammered. "H-he did say I could go if I arranged my own transprort and made sure I got home in time for school tomorrow..." He bit his lip. "He just didn't say I could hire another pilot for his shuttle... But all my friends live too far away to catch a ride and I don't knoe how public transportation works so I didn't know what else to do... I'm sure you won't be in trouble!" He added quickly. "Well, not like you'll go to jail. I mean it's my dad's shuttle and I'm his son and I told you it would be okay, so that should be all right. Right?"

He sounded like he was trying to convince himself as much as you. Still, he was a teenager and 5his was a typical teenager's action, not thinking ahead far enough to see the possible consequences.

"But he might get a little mad that we broke it... Maybe if I tell the story right he'll just be glad we weren't murdered. What do you think?"

Fantasy Space Quest

Hi! Nice to see you're back. Hope you had good holidays and yes, I'd like to continue this.

Hensen suddenly seemed a little drawn back. He identified himself when the man asked and verified your story, but oonce the connection was broken, he swore. "My dad is gonna kill me." He said. It was clear he was hiding something.

The nearest ship that could help you contacted you with some of the same questions that you had just answered, requesting your whereabouts and if you needed medical attention, then informed you they were about fifteen minutes out.

Fantasy Space Quest

Alright. Just thught I'd poke you because you're normally within a day

Fantasy Space Quest

I already responded in ic

Fantasy Space Quest

This friday we'll be getting the key to our new house and we'll need to do a lot of work on that. I hope I can respond daily like I do now as I have two kids who need taken care of and I want to be home with them in the evenings, but just a heads-up if my posting gets a little less frequent, I'll probably be busy with the house. Feel free to poke me if it takes too long (but I guess you have holidays coming up too).

The man nodded. "We have your coördinates." He said. "Help is on its way. Please stay with your vehicle." The he frowned. "By the way, the shuttle you are riding is licenced to mister Trellion. You are not him." It was definitely a question for you to answer. Who were you and how did you come by the shuttle?

A holo image of a blond man dressed in a spaceguard uniform popped up above the dashboard. His face looked stern, but his voice was business-like though friendly as he spoke. "The spaceguard of Verindy received your distress-call." He spoke. "I see you are in suits. That's good. Are your suits holding?"

Space suits, you had learned, Needed to be replaced every two years because the material could wear down after a while. Space suits were also expensive, however and many people neglected to replace them, especially on private shuttles. But Hensesn's family was not worried for money. These suits were up to par.

"What is your position?" The man would ask and after you answered "How many are aboard? Is everyone suited up? What is your siruation? Has life support fully failed yet? (If not, turning it off now that you were suited would save a lot of energy). What happened? Are there injuries?"

Angel Experiment

Big girl dared not look back, dared not pauze. The gunshot scared her and combined with the cold air it made tears come to her eyes, but she could not afford to look back. If she failed now, if she didn't make it, her short life would end. It was truly all or nothing now. She just hoped the shot hadn't hit the other boy, because if it had she couldn't help him. They'd both be dead.

A gate loomed up in front of them, standing there huge and imposing. Curly wire was on top of it, but Big girl had no idea what that meant. All she knew was that she couldn't try and find a way around it, she could only go over. She jumped onto the gate and started climbing, more on adrenalin than on skill. When she reached the wire it cut her hands, but she disn't feel it. It toor her clothes but they were thin and tore off easily. It tore at her legs, but she ignored it. She had to make it.

Once on top she dropped herself to the ground on the other side and stubled, her legs not used to the exercise of catching her own weight. She fell and that gave her the opportunity to see how the other boy was faring.

The message waa aent. The ship wouldn't ezplode indees. In fact, aside feom the life support it seemed to be in relatevely good condition. The engine was still working, they hadn't taken the time to aim that last blast very well and they had done cosmetic damage only. You could fly back to the planet while -hopefully- help would come your way.

While space suits weren't as rediculously thick now as they had been in the olden days, it was still weird to operate the ship with gloves on. In the meantime you had a very hyper teenage Sumarion aboard, whu seemed to think that what had just happened came riggt out of a comic book and was therefore the coolest thing that had ever happened to him in his obviously very dull life. You were now about the coolest person he'd ever met. He told you so in a very animated manner.

"And then your staff just shot out *BOOM* and that other guy was flattened like a Purellian Duckface and they tried to shoot you but your magic stopped them and..."

His excited voice rang through the com system, blaating in your ear. You may be relieved of the awful smell the Sumarions brought along witg their breath, his voice just kep droning on straight into your head. In the meantime it would be about ten minutes before you were hailed by the safety department from the planet regarding your diatreas call.
