Ethan: The power core for one but I don't think that is feasible to steal it'd have to be removed at a drydock and they aren't equipped for towing us to one. Maybe it's something in the armory? I stick a lot of the TRIBBLE that gets left behind from bounties in there. *shrugs*
*The cable pulses with energy and burst knocking Kara down and sending the ship out of warp. Alex rushes over to Kara. (The core protected Kara fro!M the brunt of it but it would still hurt*

Tara M: Maybe we should go check on her soon. *finishes her ice cream*

Triss: I think you do. *!smiles faintly and turns back to the presentation as well*
*Kira winces as she slowly picks herself up, burns on her left hand.*
Kira: This is going to be hard...
*Tora Zhiyal.*
Emma: If we can find her.
*Emma smiles.*
Your arm okay?
*Anaxis IV.*
Chloe: So, here's a scenario; you're attacked in a corridor by an enemy soldier with a knife. You have no knife and no other weapons to speak of. How do you respond?
Mira *In her head*: Such a nice boy.. Would do well to keep him and try and have some comfort..
*Tara tightens her fists, before loosening up and embracing Luke.*
*Soon enough they come to an unfinished home hearing a baby crying.. Rusty barks.. and rushes in there. Terry goes in almost immediately.. Not acting out in concern.. In his mind plays one of his worst memories.. He sees flames.. and a home immolating..He comes upon rusty cuddling around a one year old.. left in a pile of insulation.. in what seemed to be cloths.. now rags.. *
Terry: Good Boy.. *he pats the dog on the head.. *

*Dani kneels down and picks the baby up, cradling it.*
Dani: What are you doing here, eh?
*Tora Zhiyal. Tara returns to her Quarters and tries to get some sleep, having got little the previous night.*
*The group is covered in strange armor that appears to be vacuum sealer. The biggest of the group looks at her wearing different armor than the others*
Big: *digitally distorted voice* Scanning... She's an augment. Let me deal with her.
*The smaller ones begin hurrying off in the other direction*
***
*Ethan makes his way to the armory and locks himself in it*
Ethan: What could they be after in here?
***
Tara M: Can I meet you there? There's something I want to do first.

*The big guy grabs her leg and slams her into the wall. She gets shocked from his hands.*
Pisces: Hull breach detected in the Armory.
***
*Ethan still doesn't know what he is looking. Soon some boarders arrive and blow through the door but as they do a hull is blown in the hull sucking out the armor into space. Ethan holds onto a table being being pulled closer to the hole. He grabs an armored suit and starts putting it on but is sucked through before he can put on the helmet. It flies out with him and he barely manages to get it on before he is out in the vacuum. It encloses his head and turns on one glowing eye. He looks around trying to get his bearings before flying back to the ship.*

*Triss raises her hand as well*
*Kira comes back quickly with a pole which has a claw on the end. She throws it to Alex.*
Kira: Try that. I found it in the maintenance bay.
*Corridor.*
Zoe: Ethan...
*She breaks free, scrambling out of the way and into a Jefferies' Tube.
S.S. Tora Zhiyal.*
Samana: Yeah. What about you?
*Anaxis IV. The two step onto a 10m x 10m mat.*
Chloe: Alright, Triss, since you volunteered an idea for winning this, you can demonstrate it.
*She hands a blunt practice knife to Kara.*
Now, rules are simple; first one with the knife to their throat or torso wins. Or, if neither of you have the knife, first one to keep the other down for 5 seconds.
*The big guy loses interest in her now that she has run*
*Some of the squad has come back now the rest is gone*
Small guy: Sir we have what we came for.
Big: Good. Back into the pod. *the squad gets back in the pod and so does the big guy. The pod closes and launches itself from there ship. The hole it left is quickly closed with a forcefield.
***
*Ethan manages to get back in through the hole in the armory. He quickly seals the hull breach as well. Alex fixes the cable at this time and the ship jumps to warp as the enemy ships begin another assault.*

Tara M: Yeah I'm feeling a lot better. My arm still isn't fully healed but it almost is.

*The big guy grabs her leg and slams her into the wall. She gets shocked from his hands.*
Pisces: Hull breach detected in the Armory.
***
*Ethan still doesn't know what he is looking. Soon some boarders arrive and blow through the door but as they do a hull is blown in the hull sucking out the armor into space. Ethan holds onto a table being being pulled closer to the hole. He grabs an armored suit and starts putting it on but is sucked through before he can put on the helmet. It flies out with him and he barely manages to get it on before he is out in the vacuum. It encloses his head and turns on one glowing eye. He looks around trying to get his bearings before flying back to the ship.*

Tara M: Feeling better Samana?

*Triss raises her hand as well*
*Kira comes back quickly with a pole which has a claw on the end. She throws it to Alex.*

S.S. Tora Zhiyal.*
Samana: Yeah. What about you?
*Anaxis IV. The two step onto a 10m x 10m mat.*
Chloe: Alright, Triss, since you volunteered an idea for winning this, you can demonstrate it.
*She hands a blunt practice knife to Kara.*
Now, rules are simple; first one with the knife to their throat or torso wins. Or, if neither of you have the knife, first one to keep the other down for 5 seconds.
