~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amber bouncd along the corridor and halted outside of Severn's hanger.
"I hope I don't feel as rubbish as last time..." She moaned
The door opened in front of her, revealing the huge hangar bay. The
whole place had seen better days, cobwebs were the least of the mess,
oily parts littering the ground everywhere, a small pile of them had
appeared in the corner since last time. Standing in the middle, just
outside a small shed, was Jack. He looked up at the sound of the door
opening, and smiled.
"hey Amber, what brings you down here?" he asked
"Nano's....." Amber said, remembering how hers had died in their last
attempts to fight of the blackness that had been placed in her by Evil
Phil. "And my new baby." Jack dropped the torque wrench.
"Whaaaaat?!" He said, getting the wrong idea.
"Should be on tow and getting here soon".
"the hell?" he said, still not quite getting it. "On tow?" he asked,
eventually, after a minute or so of Amber waiting, he finally got it.
"ohhhhh" he said, in realisation. "So what is it?" he asked,
curiousity taking over.
There was a Starbug engine sound and a low droning accompniny it.
"A Starbug?" He asked curiously.
"No, the thing behind it.." She paused, waiting to see his reaction.
"Thing behind it?" he asked, turning to the control terminal behind
him, logging into the security cameras.
"Well... i suppose i was right saying a starbug..." he said, chuckling
slightly. "she looks like a wasp..." he added, as it touched down on
it's six legs, light reflecting from it gently. "not bad"
Amber hissed at it and it moved out of the way of the starbug so it
could take off abck to it's own hanger. The Hymie ship was annoyed at
being towed and so decided to evaporate a small pile of metal in
frustration.
"so... it's got a mind of it's own?" he asked, "that's pretty cool...
hope it doesn't do that too much..." he said, "might become a security
risk" he added, chuckling. "nice choice!"
"She was left over after we killed a load of bugs in shuttle bay 42. I
wanted to tweak some of the parts a little and was wondering if Sever
could help whilst I reconver from the Nano's." Amber said gazing at
the huge metal insect.
"recover? you shouldn't need to..." he said, walking over to a cabinet
to the side of the room.
"Uncle... i'm part GELF and have rather alarming Hymenopteran
tendancies.... I think i'm going to be ill... you don't need to
patronize me I've been on Deck 13..." She said grumbling
"I'm not.. i mean you're already used to Nano's, so you shouldn't be
ill again." he said, turning to a small pile of junk. "you in there
Severn?" he asked, as a hatch opened, and an oily face appeared. "yo,
sup?" he asked, climbing out, wiping his hands with an equally as oily
cloth.
Amber couldn't help but smile at the scruffy mechanic.
"Two things. Nano's and that..." She pointed at her ship.
Severn looked at the ship, "she's a beauty..." he said, and found
himself staring for a second.
"sorry... Nano's are in there, i changed them to a pill... makes it
easier" he said, as Jack opened the cabinet, and pulled out a bottle.
He handed it to Amber, and stood next to Severn.
"whats up with that pile of junk anyway?" he asked
Severn didn't get a chance to reply, as the entire ship shuddered, and
groaned. Hearing his name over the speakers, he didn't listen to the
rest of it, but patched himself into the security system.
"all Hands to battle stations!" he called over it, trusting that his
team was better than last time. The new turrets over both sides of
the ship should make short work of most things...
"Holy... smeg..." he said, as he looked at the security cameras. The
large monster moving towards them, he saw the fleet of space eagles
around it, and turned to Amber. "you want to try out your wasp?" he
asked, smiling.
"It's Vespidae... I'll bait the worm, you blow it the smeg up. We can
fit english receptors and the other stuff once Severn has built it."
Amber opened up the landing ramp on the fighter ship and climbed in.
"Good luck" he said, before turning and running down to his office.
He leapt over to his chair, and activated the auto-turrets, telling
them to target the 'big ass worm'.
