Chris, Jack and Alota "Running the heck away"

Who: Alota, Chris and Jack
When: Shortly after the previous post aboard this starbug
Where: On board the starbug
Chris and Jack had returned to the cockpit of the starbug after their
argument. Chris had taken control of the helm and was calming down rapidly.
Alota was sat in the co-pilots chair and was fighting to keep her eyes open.
Jack had sat at the weapon controls and was alert. Scanning the space ahead
of them for any bug ships, now and then checking the radar for any sign of
Jay's ship.
"You know what?" said Chris, turning to Jack. "You were right, we should
back off, he is too dangerous"
"What makes you say that?" asked Jack.
"My head" replied Chris. "I thought I'd stop being a stupid asshole and
listen to the facts". "If we board that ship, and bearing in mind of course
that we may not even get that far, how long will it be before we get caught,
there are hundereds of bugs on that ship".
"Well Done, I thought your mind would never open to it" said Jack.
"It's hard not to see it when you pay attention to what your being told"
said Chris with a laugh. He turned back to scanning the space in front of
them for any potential threats. He turned back to Jack before he realised
what he had seen. His head Jerked sharply back towards the screen and he
sprung into life again.
"Holy crap! Eleven bugs dead ahead!" he shouted, slowing the ship to allow
Jack a clear shot.
"What are you doing!?" came the voice of Alota who had suddenly become alert
again. "We don't have the strength to keep peace in the middle-east for more
than a fortnight, let alone to deal with eleven bugs!".
"That and we're almost outta missiles!" added Jack.
"We can handle it, we know what we're doing!" argued Chris.
"We'll get the crap kicked out of us more than Everton did against Arsenal
last season!"
"What was the score?" asked Chris.
"7-0".
"I'm pulling out!" said Chris.
Chris threw the throttle to maximum and turned away to the left.
"Where are the nearest allied ships?" he asked Jack.
"Lemme see...Dean is with Mk.7 and Is escorting the beer freighter Exxon
Shandeez" said Jack, looking up at Chris.
"OK, let me rephrase that, the nearest SAFE ally"
"Jenny, Seymour and Callum are currently leaving New-Ibiza"
"Contact them, I'm taking us to New Ibiza to regroup"
<tag Alota, Jack, Jenny, Seymour or Callum>
