[21:20] [Abyss] This..ship wasn't finished.  We got your destress call and came running...
[21:20] Cross pops up in front of BJ "Either that or I'm god "
[21:20] [Slasher] What can we do to get out of this problem
[21:20] [Dominator] Well, you know your ship better than we do.... Is there any way to make it out?
[21:20] [DeathStar] Oh...
[21:20] [DeathStar] DAMN!
[21:20] [Blackjack] P... perfect... Then we're... not out of it yet...
[21:20] [Abyss] We'll find out in 2 minutes...
[21:21] Abyss sits down in the chair, Jupiter looming in front of them
[21:21] Garland sits down, felling a bit sick
[21:21] Dominator looks through the screen, and tightly grips a panel
[21:21] [DeathStar] I hate...that planet..
[21:21] [Cross] Hey I got an idea 
[21:21] [Dominator] I hate the mavericks...
[21:21] [Dominator] What?
[21:21] [Abyss] Retro...fire burners....we gotta pull backwards some...
[21:21] [Slasher] Man im hungry...cap ya got any food on this ship
[21:21] Blackjack staggers to a window. 1"W... why'd we... have to... put the base... on one of... Jupiter's moons?"
[21:21] Abyss begins to back up slightly, but not enough
[21:21] [Cross] What if we decompress the rear cargo bays, the burst of air could give us another second or so.
[21:22] [Dominator] I think we should get out before eathing, Slasher!
[21:22] Abyss nods.
[21:22] [Slasher] okh ok

[21:22] Slasher coughs out "Butkisser"
[21:22] [Abyss] You would make a great Starship Captain..
[21:22] [Blackjack] Do it... Cross... It's your turn... to play the hero...
[21:22] Cross sets up a decompression release patern
[21:23] DeathStar watches
[21:23] [Cross] Thanks :)
[21:23] [Abyss] 200 meters until we're crushed...
[21:23] Dominator watches intently
[21:23] Cross fires set 1
[21:23] Abyss the ship is beginning to rumbbles
[21:23] Abyss the ship jerks back some
[21:23] Cross set 2
[21:23] [Blackjack] I... seem to remember... that from somewhere...
[21:23] Abyss begins to pull back
[21:23] [Cross] 2 More sets left
[21:23] [Abyss] We got Engine Control coming back online...
[21:23] [Cross] Gotta time em just right

[21:24] [Cross] Yeah lets get out of here. 
[21:24] [Abyss] Hold on to them
[21:24] [Cross] Aye aye captain
[21:24] Abyss the ship begins to move away from the gravity field when the engines begin to die
[21:24] [Abyss] DAMN!!!

[21:24] [Abyss] ...FROM THAT PLANET

[21:25] Abyss they begin to pull forward some
[21:25] [Slasher] Deja F****** Vu
[21:25] [Blackjack] Damn it... We're all gonna... die anyway!!!
[21:25] Cross fires set 4.... now 
[21:25] Garland sits there looking cold
[21:25] Dominator watches intently
[21:25] Abyss they pull out of the gravity field
[21:25] [Abyss] That's it...
[21:25] [Cross] Shew
[21:25] Abyss calls MH to bring in a tow ship to location A-B Zeta
[21:25] Slasher hugs Cross
[21:25] [Dominator] YES!!!
[21:25] Cross whipes brow
[21:25] Abyss the ship continues moving on, the engines operational to a degree
[21:26] [Slasher] thank you for saving our live
[21:26] [DeathStar] WHOO HOO!!!

[21:26] Dominator looks at Slasher
[21:26] [Slasher] Sorry, haven't eaten all day
[21:26] [Blackjack] Nice... going Cross...
[21:26] Garland lies down, looking a bit pale
[21:26] [Slasher] Good job Croos
[21:26] [Dominator] Its days like these that make me think that we really can beat the odds, or the mavericks.
[21:26] Slasher notices Garland
[21:26] Abyss they arrive at the A-B Zeta and are pulling into MH
[21:26] [Dominator] Excellent work Cross, and everyone else.
[21:26] [DeathStar] You okay Garland?
[21:26] Slasher goes over to Garland
[21:27] [Slasher] Yo buddy you ok
[21:27] Dominator looks toward Garland
[21:27] [Blackjack] Th... thank you...
[21:27] Slasher picks him up
[21:27] [Cross] I think I'm gonna go get something to eat, and drink.
[21:27] [Slasher] Hes pale
[21:27] Abyss the ship parks outside the station and Aybss directs them to shuttles to go on the station
[21:27] Slasher checks for a pulse
[21:27] [Abyss] Goodbye!!!
[21:27] [Garland] ..*cough*...
[21:27] Dominator activates SC on Garland (+100HP)
[21:27] [Dominator] Garland!
[21:27] [DeathStar] We better get him onboard HQ
[21:27] [Slasher] I think hes sick
[21:27] [Cross] Whatever anyone does, don't ask me how I knew that would work ok .
[21:27] [DeathStar] IT's probably the radiation...
[21:27] [DeathStar] He was...in the reactor core..
[21:27] [Dominator] From all that radation, its a mircle he's alive.
[21:28] Slasher carries him towards Med Bay.. and starts running
[21:28] Abyss [death_star@dial33.planters.net] has quit IRC (Leaving)
[21:28] [Dominator] Blackjack and Slasher should go too, they were in connect with the radation
[21:28] [Slasher] Hang in there buddy
[21:28] Dominator follows Slasher quickly
[21:28] [DeathStar] Still..haven't escaped the hands of death...
[21:28] [Cross] NRP :Brb
[21:28] [Garland] ....*smile*
[21:28] Blackjack notices that everyone is ignoring him, who was in the reactor when it exploded, so he proceeds to the Med Bay on his own
[21:28] [Slasher] Neverwill
[21:28] DeathStar enters MedBay and they set Garland up next to Slash
[21:28] [Dominator] Garland, hang on
[21:28] [Dominator] NRP: I had said for you to go
[21:29] Slasher lays down inbetween Slash And Garland
[21:29] Blackjack enters the MedBay, and passes out on the floor
[21:29] DeathStar watches X1 lay BJ down next to garland
[21:29] Dominator puts BJ on a bed
[21:29] [DeathStar] Damn...only me, Cross, and Dom came out of this one alright..
[21:29] [Garland] Hi Mr. X1
[21:29] Slasher only now starts to feel the radiation
[21:29] [Dominator] I know....
[21:29] [DeathStar] X1: Uh...hi..
[21:29] DeathStar backs up
[21:29] [Slasher] oh god...
[21:29] [DeathStar] Lets let them rest
[21:30] DeathStar heads out of the MedBay
[21:30] Blackjack groans, and says, 1"Thanks, guys..."
[21:30] Slasher closes his eyes and falls aleep
[21:30] [Dominator] You all went above-and-beyond the call of duty today, rest now...
[21:30] [Garland] Duty........hmmmmm
[21:30] DeathStar nods and walks out of the room, and stands next to Dominator
[21:30] Dominator turns and follows DS
[21:30] Slasher lets out a chukle
[21:30] [DeathStar] Well, Commander, you did a hell of a job leading./
[21:30] [Garland] Mr. Dominator wait...
[21:31] [Dominator] Well, Captain, it was a hell of a lot different than the brochure said it would be.
[21:31] Dominator turns to Garland
[21:31] [Dominator] Yes, Garland?
[21:31] [Garland] While I was gone.... I....
[21:31] [Dominator] Yes?
[21:31] DeathStar steps forward, bends over some in pain, and continues on
[21:31] [Garland] I thought about joining CorSec
[21:31] DeathStar heads for his room, slowly and quietly
[21:31] [Dominator] .....
[21:32] [Dominator] But, you didn't... Why?
[21:32] Slasher stirs when he heard the word Corsec
[21:32] [Garland] But the Mavericks were attacking innocent people....
[21:32] Blackjack looks at Garland. 1"...That could have been... the worst decision... of your life... kid..."
[21:32] Slasher wakes up...
[21:32] [Dominator] That's why we fight the mavericks, Garland.
[21:32] [Slasher] Yeah they made me or so they say
[21:32] [Garland] But.... I think I know what I'm going to do...
[21:32] [Blackjack] That's the way... it's been ever since... Mavericks have been around...
[21:32] [Dominator] ... What?
[21:33] Slasher listens
[21:33] [Garland] I know there a connection between the mavs and aliens and corsec somewhere So I'm going to...
[21:33] [Garland] I want to .... Join the MH
[21:33] [Slasher] Good decision
[21:33] [Dominator] ... All right, Garland. We'd gladly have you!
[21:33] Blackjack smiles, and rolls over. 1"Good to have ya back, kid..."
[21:33] Garland smiles
[21:34] Slasher goes back to sleep
[21:34] Dominator pats Garland on the head
[21:34] [Dominator] Now, rest.
[21:34] Garland nods off to sleep
[21:34] [Slasher] Wheres my pat on the head
[21:34] Slasher sticks his head out
[21:34] [Cross] NRP: Back
[21:34] [Cross] Yeah or mine ??
[21:35] [Dominator] Well....
[21:35] DeathStar X1 pats Slasher on the head
[21:35] [DeathStar] X1:  There you go, puppy
[21:35] Slasher falls asleep right away
[21:35] Blackjack ignores Slasher, and closes his eye
[21:35] Cross just takes a nap
[21:35] Dominator laughs for the first time in a long while

The 17th Unit came tracking up to the ruins of the city. "Uh, sir, I don't see any Mavericks..."

"Well duh. They must have run in fear when they heard we were coming..."

Suddenly a newsreporter jumped out, scaring the entire unit. "Can we ask you a few questions???"

The commander blinked. "Uh, sure..."

"What do you plan on doing about that single, midget Maverick over there?" she asked.

"Well, uh..." the commander started..


"Today's story. The 17th wiped out!"
