quote:...tricks such as a little box they got at great expense.
Well, Internal Enterprises expense and some favours with the disgruntled interns to cook the books.
The boss is probably still scratching their heads over how the office was swamped with invoices for cola-coca crates.
Ah, the memory brings a smile to #694200's face, but they still had a job to do.
Cracking open the box, they retrieved a few doses of "Uncle #42's Bigbold Juice"-
(Ostensibly a family recipe passed down over many, many years from one cobbold to another)
-and headed to the gathered cobbolds at the canteen.
"Alright you lot, there's been far too much fun for my liking as some of you have been mucking about instead of doing your jobs."
"But I'm feeling generous."
"Internal Enterprise protocol prevents non-enterprise compounds from being injected into employees bodies."
"Luckily, we aren't employees so much as, uh. Don't think about it too much."
"Now, are you lot going to get in line for performance enhancing drugs or are we going to have to draw straws to see which of you gets to put on the space suit to scrub the ship mid-flight."
"..."
"Mh. I thought as much."
"Keep it orderly, there's enough for everyone..."
There was a loud thunk as metal met with talon and claw, huge gouges appearing on the top of your ship. The space Wyvern was not happy, and it kicked and pecked at Da Crusty Crobbold. It’s attacks were manic and relentless. As your weapons kick on to repel it, it starts to grab your ship, and move backwards. You see yourself moving further and further from the finish line as it tosses your ship forward, you feel something smash into the back of you as the Ostentatious Splendor connects with your ship.

quote:Internal Enterprise Media Script posted:
Some observers may have said that the captains account is rather suspicious; that being rid of the highly valuable scientist-ladden refugee ship in pirate territory before revealing the existence of a mysterious package containing experimental drugs off the back of the metaphorical truck is suspect.
We here at Internal Enterprise would like to assure you, this is not suspicious at all.
The refugees would only be further off course if they were kept on, and the package was clearly brought onboard prior to liftoff.
That's our official story, any questions or discrepancies can be directed to the Legalrillas standing in the corner.
The dragon spun around, and tried to attack both ships, though it focussed on the cobbold’s ship first. It let out a huge cloud of acid that seemed to melt the extremities of the ship ever so slightly. Things were not looking good for our captain.

“Well this is my stop,” Dr. Ken’ankel said as they approached the Research station, a small blip of corded steel and shining white enamel. “Thanks, you got me here, so I owe you one!” She hands you a small phial, “It’s nanites, you can use it to upgrade your ship.” She pushed herself into an escape pod, and it quickly disengaged, sending her barreling to the research station. The Captain looks in the rear view camera, and the dragon had shown up again, though it didn’t look like it had any malice. Simply listing, depressed, flying in the wake of your psionic engines.
“It looks… Kinda sad,” one of the elven crew members said, another one nodded solemnly. “I know how to fix that…” It calmly walked over to the intercom, “There’s no sound in space, but there’s plenty of radio waves… So let’s try this… HEY YOU BIG SCALY F***” The elf screamed into the mic, the dragon let out a puff of acid. “The guy who spaced your egg is here!” The elf quickly sent the coordinate information for Da Crusty Crobbold.
The Dragon roared and sped off, but not before grabbing the Ostentatious Splendor, it seemed the elfs clever ruled managed to only enrage it. The dragon moved faster and faster, and spun around the hyper tube, using it’s internal gravity manipulators to sling shot the Ostentatious Splendor, and then with a wide arc it crashed into the hull of The Crusty Crobbold, sandwhiching the ship with yours at the back, and the wyvern at the front.

Firing Stealth Missiles at Arcanuse's Crusty Cobbold
Tactical node spooling up! Aggression algorithms dialed up 66%. Firing solutions acquired. We will now allow several seconds for objections, Chief Troubleshooter. As a courtesy, you understand. No? The joys of internal harmony! Firing
Just as the missiles were array, there was a great deafening crash on the inside of the ship. Red sirens blared, and the crew got into battle positions. Together they fought side by side, blowing away invaders the best they could. The pirates were wearing large suits of armor, with plasma fields echoing around them. Still, even thousands of years into the future, nothing can really stop a giant horde of humans from messing up someone’s day.
Many gasped in fear as one of the humans in the back lit a molotov and threw it into the air. The automatic fire suppression system set off for the third time the week, forcing everyone to fight in slippery foam. Together the two teams clashed, a pirate whose armor had two bright red stripes on the helmet called out, “Give us what we want, or we’ll strip the whole thing down for parts.” You feel like you could beat the pirate crew, but it might just be easier to give them what they want
Or at least that's what you thought, for a moment. The Captain pulls out a laser sword, and twirls it around expertly, he swooshes and flourishes, he spins like a top, and stares the crew straight in the eye.
That's when the Profligate Use of Limited Resources automated plasma cannons came online, within a brief instant, the pirate captain was vaporized. Everyone froze it was like the air had been sucked out of the room. A first mate, in a tattered cloak with blue and white stripes on it touched his scanner, and lifted the captains hat and sword which had escaped the blaze. He turned.
"I guess this means you're the captain now."

As you fly past the research station, you see someone who looks remarkably like your Dr Ken’ankel whiz by in an escape pod. She stares at your ship somewhat wonderously, as she notices the fleshy tendrils hanging off of it. She recoils in horror.
On your ship, your Dr. Kel has noticed her clone. She starts to scream. Something is wrong and she doesn’t understand why, she reaches for her pills but there are not any. Something is wrong and she can’t fix it. Why is that thing there, what is it, why does it look like her. Her screams sound oddly clear, unimpeded by cheek or tongue, and it reverberates off the walls of the ship. The screaming eventually stops, and she crawls into a ball. Underneath she notices an access panel and slips inside, she starts to re-arrange things in the ship.
The Kudzu hive mind is shocked and shook by this psychic damage, but eventually recovers, and leads Dr. Kel where she needs to go to upgrade the ship.

Lup Starblaster’s ship sailed easily down the lanes, he was far behind for now, but without any obstacles in his way, it was easy enough to catch up. There was a moment of respite allowing him to relax, do diagnostics on the ship, see that the crew was in order. For a moment he thought to himself I could get used to this.
