Space E-war Reloaded

[Giratina93]

The pod bay that Khuurava entered was dark, with low lighting. There were several other pods lined up along the side, as though they were ready for launch as well. The walls of the large bay weere mettalic, and cold to the touch. At first, it looked as if there was no one in this particular pod bay... but several eyes were watching him from above and the shadows, waiting for this intruder to lower his guard so that they could pounce...

The ship began to turn slowly, and the engines activated, letting it try to take off to pirate-controlled space. Whoever it was that was in command of the ship, realized they were boarded, and were now heading off back to base as fast as possible...

Within the walls, Ecliptor navigated the ship, unseen, undetected. He scaled over in the panels and machinery as silent as a ghost. When he came across power outlets, he severed them, effectively cutting off the ship's power supply to various sections. This prevented any defensive mechanism from activating and allowing him to traverse the craft without worry. To the crew however, the inexplicable failure of the energy systems during a battle would be more than a little suspicious, but there was no way to know the slender robot was the cause...

[Godzilla Forever]

The sheekh Phantom ship snuck past as stealthily as possible past the battle, engiens barely sputtering at all, and cloaking hiding the sizable ship from the fighting ships....

Arrak followed Khuurava aboard, his helmet strapped on, Mattock at the ready. He had dealt with pirates before. Mostly Batarian, of course, but when it came right down to it, all pirates were the same: looters and slavers, and cowards at heart, unless hey had a numerical advantage. Unfortunately, in this case, they most certainly did. Whether or not their quality matched their quantity remained to be seen...

[The Kingpin]

Khuurava snarled as his visor pinpointed targets in various places in the pod bay. He drew his assault rifle in one hand and a shotgun in the other. He knew the schematics of this ship class. He had been aboard them a few times in the past. After the pod bays, most of the ship was dominated by hallways, corridors and various rooms of relatively reasonable size..this would certainly be interesting...

[Giratina93]

From the shadows, a burst of plasma fired out, hitting Khuurava in the side, sending him sprawling, as 3 figures emerged, two from the shadows, and one dropping down from above. They were shorter than he was, but were slightly hunched over. Their heads were sleak with insectoid mandibles. their right hands ended in long, sharp scythes , while their left hands, while being more humanoid in appearance, had what seemed to be wrist cannons. Their bodies seemed to be covered in a sort of suit to protect thsmelves. The nearest one aimed his cannon at Khuurava and fired, while the two behind him charged at Arrak...

Elsewhere in the vessel, various pirates were noticing the effects Ecliptor was wrecking upon their ship, but with no way of knowing just what it was that was occuring, they begna to patrol the various corridors and hallways, searching for any intruders...

[C S]

When he came across a hub of cables leading into a block of electronics and circuitry, the Seeker wasted no time in dispatching it. He took the bundle of wiring in his clawed hands, twisted and tore them from their ports, a electrical buzz and blue sparks the product of his actions. There was a distant hum as machinery powered down, Ecliptor not sure what his meddling had disabled but not investigating. He pressed on through the thicket of support beams and electronics, scaling up to the current level's ceiling unaware that he had cut power to the life support systems throughout the 3,000 foot long craft...

[dinoman666]

Arrak did a quick side hop, firing his Mattock as quickly as his finger could pull the trigger while he did so. The Disruptor rounds were effective against the pirates's shields, and the fast fire rate would come in handy at this range. As he fired his weapon, he activated his Tech Armor, stealth no longer being necessary...

[The Kingpin]

Khuurava had been expecting the attack to come, reflexively diving forward as the first shot came at him, the blast streaking through the air where he had been a split second before and smashing into a wall, leaving a cluster of glowing holes in the opposite wall. The Mercenary was on his knees and retaliating before anyone could register what had happened, the shot being responded to with a shotgun slug to the face, the acid-laden projectile unleashing its deadly contents on his attacker as the Khurakra shifted his attention to the other two as the life support systems went out...

[Giratina93]

The space pirate that had been shot was down and out, and the one that Arrak shot recoiled from the hit, returning fire with his pasma cannon even as he sustained the injuries. The third, however, charged at Khuurava, scythe ready to slice him apart...

Throught the ship, the life support systems began to fail. Pirates suddenly found themselves beginning to float through the ship, and the envirinment began to chill. Worse of all, the air itself was rapidly going away, leaving anyone without breathing equipment doomed. But the pirates,though caught off-guard, did have their breathing equipment on, allowing them to survive relatively well... atleast, until they reached their base...

[C S]

The lines of piping, cable and machinery were not Ecliptor's target by chance, as was revealed when a single plate in the command room's wall was removed. The bolts that kept it in place spun out of their holes and continued to do so, slowly drifting forwards, followed by the metal panel itself, floating weightlessly and noiselessly. Ecliptor had been following the skeleton of the craft ever since he entered it, using it as a way to find the hub of all the ship's controls. From there he would be able to retrieve unlimited data, from ship schematics to logs and what ever else might be held in its data banks. The only thing that stood between him and his objective was a single, oblivious captain distracted with the incident in the pod bay and the series of system failures...

[The Kingpin]

Khuurava snarled as he leapt, the lack of gravity meaning he continued floating upwards until he reached the ceiling, the Mercenary flipping in mid air as he fired down at his would be attacker, his magnetic boots activating as he reached the top of the room. They were in his environment now...

[Giratina93]

The charping SPace Pirate smashed into the wall, the lack of gravity catching him off-guard, the blast of the mercenary's weapon piercing the back of his suit. Snarling with anger, though no one could hear it with the lack of a vaccume now, the pirate aimed his plasma cannon at Khuurava, preparing to fire it...

No one on the vessel had any idea that their database was left open. All their information, including their base's location, their weaponry, and their records, were all unguarded... with the ship captain, an odd space pirate with a tinted suit, and a missing eye, was busy enough already, ordering his men to keep the ship going, while telling others to head down and fix the various systems...

[C S]

Ecliptor slunk out of his improvised entry way behind the captain in a low stance, carefully pushing the floating plate further away as he did. Getting into a kneeling position, the Seeker reached over his shoulder and took up his rifle, holding its lethal end up to aim at the captain's head. The pirate was dead before he knew it, the bolt fired tearing through his helmet and flying out of the other side, smashing into instrumentation over the pilot's head and causing sparks to rain down from the bullet hole. Without any air, everything happened with deathly silence. With the body now drifting forwards with droplets of blood trailing the wound, Ecliptor stood up, put the gun on his back and walked up to the console, shoving the dead pirate away to get at the ship's controls...

[The Kingpin]

Taking aim at the pirate as it turned, he fired with his shotgun, the acidic slug punching right through the helmet, killing it instantly...

[Giratina93]

The rest of the crew in the command room was oblivious to what was occuring, them being focused on their efforts to restore the various systems...

Before the robot, the ships controls were laid out in a rather standard fashion, not unlike that of most ships. But what was unique was the large screen infront of the controls. Due to the wrecked systems, the screen was a blur, but a faint figure could be made out on it, vageuly resembling a silverish reptilian creature, tring to get back into contact with the ship from wherever it was...

The corpse of the pirate floated along, bleeding out, lifeless...

[C S]

Methodically, Ecliptor disassembled the control module to establish a direct link with the enormous vessel, paying no mind to the static ridden visage on the screen. The components and metal shell of the instrument panel drifting amidst the blue robot as information and images flashed behind his green eye, stripping the ship's databanks in seconds.

Taking a moment to analyze some of the more pressing bits of information, the Seeker came across mention of other vessels such as the one he had crippled. It was then that the open transmission registered to him. It was beacon to the other pirates, an imminent threat that would mean others coming to the stricken craft's rescue. Naturally this had to be prevented, and Ecliptor knew just how to do it...

Without warning to the crew members repairing the various damaged systems, a surge of power flowed through the craft, electrocuting all in direct contact with the current. All of the ship's extraneous systems were being drained of their energy, all reserves devoted to one system and one system only: propulsion. The main engine flared up, glowing hot as it thrusted with more power than it was ever allotted before. The maneuvering thrusters also experienced an increase of power, all working to turn the ship around faster than would otherwise be possible, the drastic shift in orientation catching unfortunate crew members of guard and smashing them into the cold metal walls. By the maneuver's end, the 3,000 foot long ship was on a bee-line collision course with the meteorite it had appeared from. Soon the hulking craft would be debris scattered through out the outskirts of Citadel space...

[Giratina93]

With the crew on the bridge trying to recover, several of them saw the robot at the controls. Realizing what was going on, they opened fire with their plasma cannons, enraged that a single robot could have caused all this damage... while several others were hurrying back to their posts, ready to alert the rest of the crew of the location of the intruder...

[C S]

Detecting the oncoming blasts, Ecliptor ducked down, secured by his magnetic grip, the orbs of super charged particles exploding violently against the disassembled control unit, ruining any hopes of altering the ship's heading and sending out a hail from the command room. Twisting around to face the alerted crew, Ecliptor pointed his glowing palms at them, a pulse of kinetic energy ripping through the room and sending the pirates tumbling through the zero G environment, crashing painfully into the opposite wall. In that time, the robot took his leave, walking back to the wall and crawling in through the space in its paneling...

[Giratina93]

On the burred out screen, the reptilian figure was obviously enraged at whatever was going on, the figure's silent roars and curses gone unheard before the moniter shut off due to lack of power, as the crew tried to get themselves back up...

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew, unaware of their imminent demise, were maneuvering through the sub-gravity environment of the ship in groups of 6 or so, in hopes of catching the intruders...
