Chapter Two: Outlaws
-
Jack was lifted a couple feet off the ground as Rose zoomed around, holding onto him.
“Letsh look at the show-hey hey hey watch out-” Jack shouted before hitting a cabinet.
-
“Hehe, oops.” Rose gently put Jack down as she giggled, “Well that was fun.”
-
“Yeah.” Jack said, sitting down on the ground. “It was.” He smiled at Rose.
-
“Well, this is interesting, but I will be returning to my room.” Odysseus crosses the kitchen, grabbing some food from the fridge, and makes his way to the door.
-
Upon reaching his room, Odysseus pulls back up the holographic generator, projecting a detailed, partial view of the various systems. “SAL, update new alliance routes. And begin calculating the most profitable iridium deposits. How are our stocks doing?” SAL despondently responds, ‘Affirmative, sir. And we have accrued a profit of 3.7%. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to try online dating. Perhaps somebody will love me…’
-
Jack got up, staggering slightly.
“I’m a little too drunk to walk. Where’s my room?”
-
Kika was sure to control herself around the alcohol and the people who attempted to be drunk. She drank one or two shots before stopping herself, staying in the corner while sitting on a chair. She continued to watch the party go on as thoughts flowed through her mind.
She laughs along with the group as Jack and Rose danced around and broke the entirely of the kitchen. Kika grasps her datapad and browses through her old sites, logging back in to an old dating site she was once a part of…
-
Apollo looked out from the gym.
“Uh…at least I know I’m not the only Ascendius who likes dragging people around. Seriously, we gotta do something.”
Apollo walked down to the lab and brought out a bottle of rocket fuel. “Jack, does this place have planetary ships so we don’t leave the planet, but find other civilization other than this…lab?”
-
Rose helped Jack go to his room, “Haha, Mr. Human, you must be really drunk huh?”<i> Rose put Jack on his bed before closing the door and turning to Apollo, </i>”I agree, but I don’t think Jack’s in the best of mind to do anything until his system clears.” She giggled at the memory.
-
Apollo gave the bottle to Rose. “Do you know what to do with it?”
-
Jack came out of his room.
“Got some shipsh in the back. Ol’ Betty. She’s old but she works.” He fell down.
-
Apollo lifted Jack and carried him to Betty. “Seriously? Is this thing your flagship? Is that rust?! Hold on, come back in an hour, I need to tidy this thing up.” Apollo grabbed a washer kit and took all the anticorrosive chemicals he could find, then started zipping around the ship.
-
“…..” Rose just stared at the bottle and shrugged. She followed them to the ship.
“Are you gonna be alright?” Rose knelt beside Jack’s body as she poked him.
-
Apollo, now soaked in detergent and ship fluids, was breathing heavily.
“I…finished…3 minutes…record…Anyways, Betty’s all shined up! I couldn’t really get the rust off, apparently that doesn’t go, but it works rather well and I installed torpedoes near the cockpit! And I replaced the glass so it’s tinted blue instead of blood red. In fact, was that even blood? ANYWAYS HERE IT IS!!”
Apollo pointed out Betty, which still looked a bit rusty and old, but at least shiny-ish.
-
Rose smiled, “Nice job you did there. You know, for a being that was made with wings, you sure do like flying deathtraps an awful lot.”
