Crossing paths

Who: Jessie, Chrizla and the voices of Jay
Where: a service duct aboard the Space Corp cruiser
<snip> "You know," Jessie started, "You aint as dumb as you
make yourself out to be." Chrizla had a ponderous look on his
face, "Er, I'll take that as a compliment." he said, "Which way?
Left or right?" <end snip>
Jessie shrugged. "one's as good as the other. Let's go right" With
that, she pocketed the laser and headed out. "if we can find the
others and get them out, we can wreak havoc. They won't know what hit
them." she said "Yeah, but first we have to get out this service
duct." chrizla responded. They hadn't gone much further when Jessie
stopped suddenly, causing Chrizla to bump into her. He started to
complain, naturally. "What was that for? why did..." "Shh! I heard
something!" She listened closely. Sure enough, coming from somewhere
in the corridor on the other side of the wall were clearly audible
gunshots. There was a thud, and someone yelled "Tara! Flash, down!"
"Sounds like somebody's in trouble." Chrizla commented. Jessie didn't
reply. She was too busy burning through the wall, which seemed to be
much thinner than the one in the cell they had shared briefly.
There was the sound of an explosion, and then running feet, heading
towards their hiding place. Which was no longer, as Jessie had
climbed out of the new doorway and was now standing in the corridor,
right in the path of whoever was coming this way...
<tag Chrizla, Tara, or Jay - remember that Chrizla and Jessie are
both new to the ship!>
