Chapter Five: Retribution
-
*Pandora stepped out of the car and kept the door open so her friends chould get out, she un sheathed her sword and land against the front of the car scanning the area*(stupid spell check)
-
Apollo smiled at Faye’s positive attitude and took off with Andaluza. He stared at the Z-50 from above, gleaming in a bright blue paint. “Andaluza, there’s an engineer over there. Help me take out the electrical equipment on the control panel.” Apollo created a small orb of electricity, barely transparent, waiting for Andaluza to input.
-
Andaluza had added more energy to the sphere, causing more crackling opacity as well as a more purple hue. “It’s cooling down! Better launch it fast.”
-
<i>Calypsa comms the others. </i>”Where are all of you? The trial is in three days, and we need to make sure that Samul, Matthew, and their families are secure. I’ve been waiting for six hours, and none of you showed. Or do I need to remind you how dangerous our situation is?” Calypsa lowers the comm-unit, waiting for a response as she looks annoyedly at Matthew and Samul, who are sitting across from her. “I’m sorry, you two. I knew that I should have brought along my regular consultants, but orders are indeed orders,”
-
Apollo silently commed Calypsa from the top of the hangar. “I’m sorry but we’re done taking orders from you. This trial is your thing. I’m not telling you where we are. In fact, this communications system is coming from right behind you. I disabled the GPS.” Apollo shut off the comms and slid down the pole and forced the lights to go out with the solid dodgeball of electricity. “Andaluza, get in here.”
-
Andaluza slid into the Z-50 and signaled Faye to come onboard. “Apollo, do your thing.”
-
Apollo began hovering the Z-50 out of the hangar with Faye, Andaluza, and himself in it. “Pandora, we’ll open the boarding ramp and yank you in like a shot put.” Apollo put the Z-50 in hover mode, jumped out of the boarding ramp, tied a rope to Pandora’s belt, then pulled her into the Z-50, closing the boarding ramp at the same time. “Now that is how you ragdoll someone into your shuttle! Let’s go!” Apollo hit the vertical launch mode and the Z-50 bolted into space.
-
“Heh!?”, she had said when she was rag dolled into the ship. Pandora groaned and unclimbed the cord from her belt.”I feel like I was just on a roller coaster”, she said a little dazed, she sat down.
-
Apollo shrugged and hit the autopilot. “This thing has a galley but no kitchen. Fasten your belts, this is gonna take a while. We’re effectively moving at 32,000 km/h at the station, which is moving at 66,000 km/h TOWARDS us. We’ll be there in five hours.”
-
Andaluza took a moment to work out the math and looked out the window. “So, this facility of yours. It has an onboard navigation system, right? Because if it moves that fast, we might be in some real trouble. Especially since YOU’RE at the stick!”
-
“I can really do math its a little pithetic”, Pandora said strapping in.”so are we going to slam into it or dock it?”, she asked.
-
Faye looks at the others and plugs in her datapad, messing around with the systems and controls. She hears up the conversation with Calypsa and smiles.
-
Apollo laughed at Pandora’s comment. “Took me about 2 billion credits to make it with the funds Jack gave me, until I told him that I do it for free. Of course we’ll slam into it.”
-
“Alright!”, Pandora said enthusiastically.
-
Faye lets out a sigh and looks up at the two, “Aw, is stealth time over already?” She rolls her eyes, “You guys are no fun.”
