EVENT: SPACE PIRATES ▒ THE EMERGENCY SHUTTLE BAY & THE SCYLLA

[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: The emergency shuttle bay & The Scylla
WARNINGS: Potential disturbing themes.
SUMMARY: Exploration and salvage of the Scylla and the emergency shuttle bay it's docked onto.
NOTES: April 28 onwards.

An emergency shuttle bay is found tucked away above the 50th passenger floor; holding only two transport shuttles and a network console, it contains the final evidence of the pirates' work. Here, large amounts of the equipment and items they looted from the Tranquility are piled up: some waiting, some already packed up into storage crates for transport onto the Scylla— and some, though not much, already stored away on board. How they came aboard is made clear now by the two holes cut through the metal of the hull-side wall— the openings connect to docking tubes, which provide an easy route onto the Scylla herself. On the wall above is a message left in red: MAKE IT QUICK... And with the jump fast approaching, it might be best to take heed...

Jack must really want to kill him badly, because he hadn't expected him to keep running right for him like that. He tried to hop backward but he wasn't quite quick enough, and he hadn't experienced fighting at Earth-normal gravity in a long time, either, making the move less useful for escape than it might have been. At the same time he dropped the rifle, letting it dissolve as he reached for his sword, but just then Jack's elbow hit him in the chest, and his back hit the wall. He winced, grunting, then grabbed the hilt only a moment later and slashed at Jack. He was damn quick with a blade; something too many of his victims had failed to realize until it was too late.

"Ngh! Son of a bitch!" Jack grunted, feeling the slice of the blade against his jacket as it caused him to step back. It didn't actually make contact with skin, but it was an expensive jacket damn it. He responded with a rough swing of his fist, taking the time to draw his gun to attempt to shoot Mordecai point blank.

He saw through that attempt, though - drawing a gun was the sort of action that immediately caught his eye, or he wouldn't have lived as long as he had so far. He stepped aside quickly and aimed for Jack's stomach as he swung outward with the sword.
