"All right then, it looks like we've got the basics of the plan worked out." Sophie said, feeling much better now there was a workable plan of action even if it did mean hiding until next week when the Display Team performed in London. "As Pedras said we'll pose as deliverypeople supp...

Sophie nodded absently. Although there was an element of luck and improvisation to the plan it still had good chances to succeed. The rest of the crew seemed comfortable with it and they'd devised it together so now they had to get it started. "Alright, Akraya , Desuko is it possible for you t...

Sophie 's jaw dropped in complete surprise when Pedras offered up the last undiscovered log buoy of the Prakeshi asteroid ships. If he'd indeed picked it up whilst getting the Crown then he must have gotten it off the Starwolf vessel. It was a priceless find and could very well lead the Prakeshi to...

"Good idea." Sophie agreed. "Our reason for being in London at the time is to deliver Desuko to the display team. Black Steel-we can't be at the event but that's okay. The stadium will be heavily guarded and the event will be televised so cameras will be everywhere. The Display Team w...

Sophie carefully listened to each crewmember speak and thought of the problem with the display team being involved in a break-in just as Jessan had said it. Besides the issue of getting every single Ariesse on the team on with the plan without a sellout or an innocently spoken comment that tipped o...

Desuko's reaction to being made temporary cook, in some ways, so much reflected Akraya 's initial eager enthusiasm for her first couple weeks that despite the situation Sophie almost laughed. Instead she smiled while Akraya convinced her to sit down and Daxia assured her she needn't start right away...

Sylen politely shook her head at Desuko after Akraya had managed to persuade her to sit down. It was similar to the way Akraya had been during her first two weeks on the Firestorm and that almost made him chuckle out loud as he sat down with T'Sarrina . "Its done. Our two former mercenaries ar...

Sophie smiled, pleased with Desuko's decision to stay where she was safest aboard the Firestorm where they could protect her. It was a really added bonus that she was a good cook as well so she could at least temporarily take over Djo's old job since he'd left with Crimson so suddenly at the mere m...

Sylen simply escorted Crimson and Djo to their quarters and the armoury where he carefully watched to make sure that only weapons and armour that personally belonged to one of the pair made it into the antigrav cart Kellen had thoughtfully brought along. He paused briefly at a console with transfer...

Sophie nodded to Sylen and Kellen . "Yes, good idea. Please go and assist Crimson and Djo in removing their belongings and stash of weapons from the Firestorm please." Sylen then saluted and escorted the two ex-crewmembers out of the messhall, pausing only so Djo could take his personal c...

Daxia listened carefully to what Sophie told them regarding why her 'family' wanted her alive and she wrinkled her nose in disgust while her tail lashed from side to side behind her in short, sharp motions that reflected how angry she was. She knew the Theirrins were bad from reading old case recor...

Automatically Sophie turned to Jessan as his expression contorted with anger when she revealed why her 'family' wanted her alive. She took his clenched fists in her hands gently in an attempt to soothe him. Even in his anger, he'd had a good idea. "Hacking into their bank accounts wouldn't be e...

Sophie felt somewhat encouraged by the responses of most of her crew. None of them had reacted by panicking or calling her a monster or accusing her of betraying their trust by keeping such a big secret from them. There were a couple looks of doubt to be sure but most of her team had taken the news...

Daxia 's jaw dropped open in surprise and sudden concern, because as a former police officer-even one who had only worked within the confines of the Mikoatty Empire-she knew about the Theirrin Cartel. She'd heard rumours of the family. The mother and the father at the head of the vast interstellar ...

"Oh good." Sophie responded after Jessan brought her up to speed. "It sounds like they correctly anticipated I'd want to speak to the senior crew once I woke." She sat up carefully and patiently waited for her head to finish clearing from the effects of the stun blast before easi...

When she first started to regain consciousness, Sophie was vaguely aware she was horizontal instead of vertically on her feet with her stunner in hand. For a few moments she didn't know why it was wrong to be horizontal with no weapon in her hand-then she started to regain consciousness and remember...

Once they reached the Firestorm, Sylen scanned the area and determined that their mysterious attackers weren't waiting at the spaceport. He felt much better once they had all gotten inside and the airlock had sealed shut behind them. He got on the intercom and ordered all of the secondary crewmember...

"Good intuition." Daxia praised Akraya even as she watched both sisters carefully for signs of post-battle stress. "Given the amount of skill and planning involved its likely these so-called 'thugs' are probably mercenaries or professionally trained in service to a criminal organizati...

Daxia chuckled when the police officers weren't quite sure whose side Crimson was on. So she helpfully added to his introduction. "Oh, yeah that's one of ours." She assured the officers as he and Djo were led over to them. She wasn't concerned about the polite at all. Quaylar Four had dif...

Shortly after Sophie went down and Jessan pulled her safely behind cover the police arrived. Their air-cars came in to land wherever there was room in the street and their air-van remained floating just above the buildingtops above them. At that point those few thugs that were still conscious fled-o...

Lol actually two ideas. All those gentle kicks to my muse over Terranchat and Yahoo for the last few days seem to have woken it up. In anycase it looks like Akraya and Desuko have just given rise to something that might help the Ariesse experience space travel more. Their aerobatic displays may beco...

Sophie sighed in relief when first Daxia and Kellen showed up and joined the fight closely followed by Pedras, Djo and Crimson . The latter of which whistled and gestured that there were more still coming from the other side. She acknowledged with a higher-pitched whistle of her own and remained cr...

Sophie rose into a crouch behind the trash can that she had hastily dived behind to take cover from the three leather clad men. The spray of stunner blasts had done its job and allowed both herself and Jessan to take cover. One of them had even managed to hit one of the human males because he now l...

Sophie gave the Guild job' board one last look over and recorded the details of a couple bounty hunts that would make suitable back up jobs in case they didn't land the DyEn job. "Don't worry Jessan ." She began as she took his hand and began walking out of the Guild Hall. "I fully p...

For her part Daxia was absolutely content and happy as she walked around with Kellen . She almost couldn't believe that Quaylar Four had changed so rapidly. The sights, sounds and smells of a city full of Mikoatty living their lives without a sense of rigid control and constant oversight from drones...
