A Coalition Storm - Shagohad - 04-11-2010
Angie started pounding her fist on the hull.
Clang. Clang. Clang.
The sound would have been heard by some one walking by. Angie tried to key her comms, hoping Alvarez would reply. Never can trust a Hispanian, she thought with scorn.

Alvarez slowly smoked his cigarette.
"Sir, can we go get her now?" the EVA rescue team requested.
"Not yet," Alvarez said, taking a deep puff.
"But sir..."
"Just wait," he said taking a longer drag on his cigarette. "She want to be silly prima donna, then she can do ballet on ships hull a little longer. Eh, I don not care..." He turned. "Some one get me a coffee... when I am done my coffee... then you go get her."

Angie drew her plasma pistol. It was time to burn her way in. She tried to remember the dead spots of the hull. Areas that were meant as buffers so as not to allow leaks to get into the ship. When one of these popped, they were easily sealed and no useful systems were hit.
Slowly, she crawled along, stopping at where one of these spots might be. The pistol was aimed, the little dial set to "High-Yield". Sure the pistol would burn out, but do would the hull. Eventually...

"Sir, she is going to cut her way in," Borodin observed.
Alvarez finished his coffee, "Use the Order beaming thingy we use for cargo... bring her onboard."
There was a crackle of purple energy as Angie was swept inside.
Alvarez handed his coffee mug off to a technician and marched down through the ship towards the cargo bay where she was being picked up by a couple of the marines.
"Ciao, Bella, good to have you aboard, our tractor beam thing was not working... storm. Anyway, this now not my problem, it is your problem, si? I turn command over to you and I am going to sit and criticize every move you make." He chuckled. "Privilege of being the big Cahoona, si?"

It all happened so fast. The hull was turning orange, it was working, but then she was simply...swept somewhere. It happened SO fast. Now she stood in the cargo hold, rubbing her helmeted head and staring bewildered at the marines.
Alvarez was talking. Something about bells and camboos. What? She frowned. "Alright. Criticize me..." Her brow wrinkled as she pulled the helmet from her head. "First, I need a sitrep." The commanding air returned to her voice.

Alvarez shrugged, "The bambinos are throwing a tantrum, I don't know. Some kind of cosmic lego project. I am not scientist, I shoot things. This is your mess, you fix it now."
He crossed his arms looking firm.
"I don't know about you, but I am getting bored out here, si? Make the storm go away and let me get on doing what I do best."

Angie blinked. Was this guy freaking retarded? "Ummm...Comrade, I am a soldier. I am not a miracle worker. You speak of bambinos, tantrums, and legos. I can only assume that a bunch of angry monkeys are no longer satisfied with their toys."
With a sigh, she walked off, not caring whether Alvarez was in tow. Something was going on. And she, of course, had to fix it.
A Coalition Storm - Tabris - 04-11-2010
As the Social Credit sluggishly moved through the Ion Storm Ben started to get increasingly fusterated. His muttering slowly growing into shouting of profanity and anger at the storm, the Crewmen behind him now near the rear of the ship due to fear that Ben might snap and kill them all.
Eventually one crewmember managed to gain the courage to shuffle to the front of the ship again, speaking up in a nervous voice he asked.
"Erm...Sir?" he quipped, not receving a response from Ben as he continued to spout profanity and fly at the same time. The Crewman steeled his nerves and spoke once again.
"I hate to ask this but...Are we there yet?" he asked, a split second later he was impaled with a knife to the face, thrown by Ben without turning away from the controls, it's dual blades peircing the forehead with ease, the body stayed upright for a moment before collapsing backwards, further scaring the last two crewmen into staying in the rear of the ship seeing the fate of their Comrade....Nobody bothered Ben when he was annoyed...

Alvarez shrugged and followed her, taking a step forward and cuffing her upside the head, "Captain, or sir, si? I am angry comrade, and I am bored. You solve problem now, and I go back to the bridge."
He paused as he entered an elevator, "Oh and High Command are expecting you to make a report. They are... well you will see for yourself, si? alla prossima."

Did the little turd just hit her? She stiffened, watching the man get onto the elevator. Her eyes stared at him coldly. "What do you mean, Comrade? Are you implying that I broke it?" She stepped in besides him, her posture straightening to mirror her tone.
