"Okay, Pois, I appreciate what you do. Really, I do. But you don't need nano-toxins to get someone to go with you. And seriously, stop acting like the world is revolving around you. And for the record, I don't take pain pills for the hell of it."

Jake then grabbed the side of his head.

"I take them and my medication for my headaches and seizures. You should know that."

He pulled a pill out of his pocket, grabbed a pain killer, then took them both before stalking out of the med bay.

"yeah, your welcome"
Pois begins looking through the boxes. He opens one of them after another. Most of them are anti bodys or pain killers. The last and smallest though had something strange. It was pills like the rest, but they didnt look like anything he knew from the feddie medical records that some one had given him in one of there raids. "this looks odd. ill put one in with the oils and see what the hell they are"
Something in the back ground beebs. looking around he sees one of his many little things seemed done. This one though he really didnt remember starting, he did though sice all were dna locked and he trusted the rest of the crew that they wouldnt hack it anyways. He pulled out some vile of sorts, maybe when he was testing side effects or something he put it in. He really has trouble with that. so he decides just in case it was for someone to ask over the comm "was i making anything for someone, cause its done and i really dont remember it. and if you think you may have gotten something come down for vaccines so nothing spreads or mutates"
He looks at it "pretty red"

Sayre settled back into his console, cracked his fingers that hadn't had a chance to shoot, and looked over the navigation maps.

"So Kar, whats it gonna be? Outposts of a warzone, pick up any blasted battlecruisers, or maybe sell directly to some black market connisuers...or I'll just plot a course for some merchant zones or whatever. Whole galaxy within our new jumping power, and merchants."

"we could go to hivehom; they would be very interested in the experimental device we found."

Grid'Jikt continued moving the computers from the hangar to his room, soon he would be able to set up a network improving the in-ship intercom and also adding better control of some of the ships functions, like making the sprinklers in his room increase the humidity.

"Could some one bring up the FCS Program on the bridge, so I can get some sleep!" Stk yelled into his com. "I want to see if this thing works."

The energy build up of a gate about to open registered on the bridge. The Gate opened on the other side of the system.

picking up various electronic componets left around the cargo bay Alecks thinks to himself "that emp blast was really cool but almost wiped out our fighter i wonder if i can build some kind of anti emp shield based off my own personal force field and install it to help out the fighter pilots" Alecks quickly sat down and begin working on the design.

Impatiently stk opened up his remote acess to the bridges diagnostic systems on his data pad. He then used the back door to access FCS and programmed in the new device. He tested it selecting a hunk of wreckage and waited for a target lock. once the lock was recieved he fired a missile. The shield doors opened and one of the missiles fired. It destroyed the hunk of ship. The reload system worked with out a flaw. Delana went back into the hanger bay after the successful test.

"I'm going to bed." Stk said and made his way



The battle fleet Omega entered the system and began to aquire weapons locks on the elysium.

A gate was opening. In Karasu's opinion, any gate that opened near you meant that it would A) disgorge ships intended to kill you B) disgorge seemingly innocent ships that would later turn hostile and kill you or C) disgorge perfectly harmless merchant or civilian vessels... which would then be hotly pursued by pirates. And you would be lucky if they killed you.

Then Omega Fleet achieved lock on Elysium, and the feathers really began to fly.

"Game over man, game over! Zenin kikoeru! We're getting outta here!"

The Tengu wrestled with the controls, trying to bring the ship around before the fleet of very dangerous warships opened fire with their very heavy guns and reduced the Elysium to its elemental particles. Frantically he jabbed at the release button for the solar sail, and was pleased to feel the Elysium picking up speed. He checked the hyperdrive core status. 53%. Not nearly enough.

"Mou hayaku..."

If he could have gotten out and pushed, he would have.

Pois looked at the capsols... they were just some drugs "crud i thought it was something interesting"

Then the alerts went up about the wepons lock
Pois, since he was not really ready to die yet "Get us out of here please, and would it help if the gunners gave us cover fire perhapse"

Delana ran to her station at the guns and put her targetting eye piece down. "I'll buy you as much time as I can." She targetted the first fighter she saw. "I'm not firing on them until they fire the first shot, there's no honor in that."

"Delana, darling, I don't think they're going to be very honorable either. So please be kind enough as to shoot their ass."

Jake was hurriedly getting back into Mjolnir, and was at the moment snapping the leg peices on and enjoying the hum as the energy field powered up.

"Very well, but call me darling gain and I'll separate your head from your neck." Delana opened fire and hit the first fighter dead on. As it exploded, the others opened fire on the ship. "Well, we've got their attention, another gunner would be appreciative."

Koel ran to the fighter bay. He prepared him self just in case. He was ready, but wasn't gonna go unless told to. What if they were gonna jump and he'd be left behind? He didn't want that.

"Are we gonna jump?" He asked to get confirmation. "I mean as much as I'd like to get out there it might be better to just jump!"

"LETS JUMP!"
Pois was not going to trust the defences of this ship worth a damn

"We don't have even enough charge for one engine. 85% on the core. Shit they have a super destroyer." stk said from the engine room.

The Super destroyer was angling to line up a shot with it's main gun. It began to charge the gun that was 1/2 the length of the ship.

"Very interesting..." Aisei smiled as she studied the star maps on the date pad she had gotten, blatently ignoring the impending doom of the group that was shortly approaching.

The massive cannon fired and narrowly missed the elysium It impaled the wreckage of the feddie leaving a glowing metal hole large enough for the elysium to pass through.

Karasu set course for the wreckage, passing neatly through the hole. One of the first things he had learned was that the best way to survive was not to get hit, and the best way not to get hit was to find something to take the hit for you.

He glanced at the drive readouts. 93%.

"Come on, you worthless piece of crap, come on..."

"Tell me about it...Stk, it would be nice to have those jumpers up by yesterday, but take your sweet time I guess." Sayre said into the com. He rapidly brought up point after point while cross referencing the updated star maps. He needed to get the Elysium far enough away while still being in nuetral territory, or at least somewhere where they wouldn't be the biggest target...

Pois went around trying to keep his things from breaking "shit shit shit shit shit"
Behind him some vile fell down. "great"
Pois but the sick bay on querintine "im looking the sick bay down, with this amount of termoil i am afraid my little toys may poision the air. So dont get hurt cause till i can get this ready it aint safe. SO DONT GET US KILLED"
Pois turned around seeing one of his air borns filling the air. "shit"
