Harbinger of Things To Come
The small ship raced across the black expanse of space. The engines were barely functioning and life support was minimal. The ship had taken heavy fire when it launched from the Shi'ar throneworld. There were parties on the planet interested in seeing that ship not reach its destination.

The pilot urged the ship on as if the ship was flying on sheer willpower alone. The message he carried was most urgent and it had to be delivered. The fate of many, perhaps millions, rested on this message. He had to make it and the message had to be delivered.

The ship drew closer to Knowhere Station. It wasn't Earth as the pilot had intended, but maybe someone there could carry the message to His Imperial Highness Prince Starbridge Nermani. He just had to get there! The engines whined and strained, but they kept working.

"Just a little more," the pilot said as the ship drew closer to Knowhere.

	Proximity alarms went off, going right to Alex's wrist-comm. The ship had all-clear beacons, but its approach pattern meant it was either a fake or on its last legs. "Operations, I want unmanned payload drones out now. Escort the approaching ship to an empty bay and have both security and med detail ready." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Azura got the message from Quill and raced toward the hangar bays. Her energy pistol was charged and ready and Godslayer was on her back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Red quickly made his own way to the hangar bay, occasionally running through someone's legs or climbing over them to jump off their shoulder. "Please to be getting out of the way! Am being on official business!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somehow the ship made it to Knowhere and entered one of the hangar bays. The engines sputtered and shut off just as the landing gear touched down on the deck plates. The ship was still and quiet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Azura entered the bay and drew a bead on the exit hatch. There was a hiss and it started to open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The hatch opened fully and a Shi'ar came down the ramp. He looked distressed and looked around frantically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pilot being a Shi'ar reassured Alex only slightly more than Red saying the safety was on. "Hold your fire, security." He doesn't have them stand down yet, though. Alex holsters his own weapon and advances. "State your name and business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The man pulled himself up. "I am Virok of the Shi'ar. I bear an extremely important message for Prince Starbridge on Earth. My craft was damaged and I could only make it this far." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Azura kept her gun aimed at the guy. She didn't care much for Shi'ar and she wasn't going to let this one pull anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Red lowered his own gun. "Shi'ar Prince is being on Earth? Is he being in danger?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex grimaces. "We just got back from there... Alright, guess we're returning again." He mumbles to himself. "No chance of just slipping by Abby a second time..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_shiar 2011-10-24 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"I must leave right away," he said. "Prince Starbridge's life is in danger!" He became more agitated with each passing moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Azura put her gun away and folded her arms across her chest. Quill would make the call and she would wait until he did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alex looks at the Shi'ar. "I just said we're returning, but we're sure not going in your ship. I'll bring you there myself, but I'm not going to stand for portents of doom on and on. I get enough of that every time my teammate's extended families start acting up."

He signals an operations worker and orders them to get Ride prepped. "Guardians, get ready to move out in ten."

	"Ten minutes is too long to wait. Is there any chance we can leave immediately? Is it a fast ship?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iason gets the call over comms, heading back in from space through a hatch, having been a ways from the station, drifting and stargazing. He gets filled in on the situation quickly enough. "I will fly escort for the ship as soon as its ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course it's fast," Eliza says as she adjusts her uniform. The mask slid firmly into place and she offer the Shi'ar a confident smile. "We'll get you to Earth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thank you, sweetheart." Alex gives Eliza a smile, before giving the Shi'ar a look that brooks no objection.

"It's the fastest we've got, and it's a damn sight better than what you've just hobbled in on. My people will help because it's the right thing to do, but understand that you're not in the Empire right now and none of us are obligated to help you, and you'd best accept that, otherwise you can stick out your thumb and try getting to Earth that way." He looks at his watch. "Nine minutes." He instructs an operations worker to lead the Shi'ar to Ride and have him input the coordinates. He also gives orders for him not to be left alone with the ship.

"Guardians, arm up." And he'll go off to restock his guns and ammo, along with emergency gear.

	"Am already packed," Red happily declared. "But must be going to see Min-D'ee. She is promising to be giving me particle cannon!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-10-25 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	"You are not getting a particle cannon," Azura said as she walked up the ramp to the ship. The air shimmered and Abel took her place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_shiar 2011-10-25 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	Virok hurried up the ramp after Azura/Abel. He had to get to Earth and warn Prince Starbridge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2011-10-25 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Red. We're trying to move in fast... why not lighter armaments," Eliza asked as she followed after Able. She was checking to make sure she had all her weapons on her way to the ship, of course. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-10-26 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"You do not get a particle cannon! We already have Iason!" Alex snaps at his teammate. Soon enough, everyone is sufficiently, and in some cases excessively, armed. They regroup at Ride. "Ladies, gentlemen, and assorted warm-bloods, strap in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	needsmoredakka 2011-10-26 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Red was pouting. "Am never getting to have any fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Abel settled into the co-pilot's seat. He was all smiles. He loved adventures. (Reply to this)(Parent)
