Jess had walked into the cockpit of their Universal-owned freighter. Straight into the gun-sights of John's pistol. An M90 Magnum that could blow a hole the size of a quarter through someone's chest.
He holstered his pistol, swung his chair around. "Hurry up, I want to get out of here as quickly as possible."
"Oh come on, lighten up a bit. The fireworks are just about to start." She was grinning now.
"Haha. Very funny. Now strap in and lets get out of here. Its probably gonna be a rough ride out of here."
Jessica sat down in the co-pilot's chair. Keying in a command that brought a view of the SiN|Tech's Cambridge facility up on the main screen. She pulled a cylinder the length of here index finger out of her pocket and flipped the cover on one end.
"Watch the show."
She pushed the button and the screen lit up in fiery yellow. They felt the explosion of the facility before they heard it. It rocked the freighter end over end. And Blade's arms were straining to pull it back straight before plowing into a building's roof.. The sound deafened his ears.
"Cannon, what explosives did you use?! I said to get the incendiary explosives!"
"Umm.. Which ones are those? What was in the big box?" She couldn't stop the giggle that escaped her mouth.
"Not funny, we were meant to blow up the facility, not the next 2 blocks around it." Blade said, irritated.
"And besides," she continued as if she couldn't hear him. As two Falcons flew up into the air after them. She pulled another trigger out of her pocket. "I needed the other ones to set at the airbase.
She pressed the button down, and they heard an explosion from behind them. A second later they heard another explosion, further away.
"Alright, so it was a good idea." He conceded, grudgingly.
"Now we better head out. Give it a week or two before we come in and take out another distribution center. We could check out Manhatten until then. Lets head back to base and pick up JC."
"Hey, I don't need any babysitting." A voice came from the ship's computer.
"What have I told you about hacking my ship computers?" He asked. "Not to." JC's reply came, with a hint of humor.
John sighed. Why did he have to be grouped with these two?
"You know, my job was alot easier four years ago. Go in, shoot everything. Blow the place. Now I get to deal with you two at every turn."
"Alright people, now for the real show. You all know what to do, JC get our disruption ready. Cannon, go prepare our fighter."
He got himself busy setting up the rigged bomb they had hardwired into the freighter. Along with the hold full of H-fuel. He had just finished when the frigate had grabbed the freighter with a tractor beam. He set the timer and trotted down the hallway to the escape pod. They had taken it out and connected the cockpits of a fighter in it. "Alright, we got 50 seconds to detonation, lets get going. He got in the pilot position of the fighter and closed the hatch. Ticking off the seconds in his head. If he released to early they might get a tractor beam on the fighter.
"Alright get ready Jessica. 5 seconds to release." He counted down the seconds in his head... ... ...
*** *** *** *** ***
"I'm reading two targets nows sir. Profile suggests a small fighter of some kind. Likely was attached to the freighter." The sensor officer yelled up to the Captain.
"Get me a tractor beam on that fighter, I want it now." He had anger in his voice. Anger that anyone would dare think about attacking SiN|Tech property.
"Sir, we are pulling their freighter into the docking bay now. Two of our own fighters have launched in pursuit of the enemy."
Just then a deep rumble shook the ship. One of the bridge officers fell over a railing and onto a lower floor. The 2 meter drop knocking him unconscious. The Captain was hurled against the back wall and fell to his knees. As he picked himself he yelled; "What was that?! Ensign report!"
"He is dead sir, came the voice of the sensor officer." His console exploded and the blast hit him." The officer was staring at the crispy ashen face that had once been another bridge officer. His face was burned and melted by the explosion of the console, with burn marks all along his clothing from the lightning it caused. His eyeballs were fried black, and his mouth hung open.
"Sir, report from the deck officer!" He says the freighter exploded fifteen meters from the bay.
"Whats the status of our enemy."
"Uhhh..." the sensor officer stuttered.. "Fighters will destroyed. We are reading a group of 15 Corsair Titans running parallel to the target."
"Damnit!" The captain punched the console in front of him. "Send out recon ships, I want that fighter dead!"

"Well that was fun." Jessica said as they flew off towards the Omega-5 jump hole.
"Yeah, real fun, I do enjoy getting shot at." John replied, dryly.
The Starblazer flew off into the nebula of the asteroid field and vanished from Cambridge. John Blade and Jessica Cannon, two HARDCORP officers dedicated to the destruction of SiN|Tech and their mutant-causing drugs.
(SiN|Tech and any other people/factions these stories involve/affect may post here. [Example: SF since it happened in Cambridge.])
(Come on SiN|Tech, don't make me do it all myself, you might not like the outcome. :P @Mala; O.o)
"Behind you!"
Blade spun around and brought up his M590 Assault Rifle. But was not slow enough to shoot the Recombinant mutant from leaping up onto him, and pinning his arm and gun to the floor as he fell.
A version of the smaller type of Recombinant, it had such speed that it could effectively dodge gunfire.
Its hand came down at his neck, its claws extended. Just as a bullet flew through its head. He pushed the mutant off his chest as a drop of its blood came out the mouth to fall on his face. Cannon grabbed him and helped pull him up, firing down the hallway to their left as she did. There were another three Recombinant Minors, and a Recombinant Major, a smarter, bigger version of the Minor, coming down the hall after them.
The took off running down the hallway, and Blade tossed a G50 Incendiary Phosphorus Grenade down the left-hand hallway. If the mutants didn't stop, they would be burned and melted by the grenade. Either way, they were no longer his problem.
They took another turn towards what JC had identified as the security area of one of the Manhatten SiN|Tech drug distribution centers. The plan was the take over the security systems, get the civilians and innocents out of the building, and then blow it sky high. The secondary objective was to download all the information they had on the security computers in the process, as Jessica went to set the bombs around the building.
They continued to shoot down any of the security personnel, and tamed mutants as they made their way.

The screams of the SiN Tech clerks, janitors, secretaries, technicians, and other employees and civilians could be heard everywhere as Blade and Cannon ran through the tower. Alarms wailed, lights flashed, but for some reason there didn't seem to be very heavy security outside of the main entrance. Once in the labs, security stepped up again with heavier guards and automated turrets and drones popping up everywhere. With all the gunfire, it was inevitable then, that some of the experiments would get loose.
Thus, the current state of affairs that Blade and Cannon found themselves. Being forced back and back again by waves of these monsters, ranging from some who might have passed for human, to others who were little more then blobs of what might have once been flesh.
Fire, back up, scrounge for ammo, fire again. That was the pattern. Superiority Tower was by far one of the biggest in Manhattan, so the two wayward operatives had quite a lot of ground to cover. That was, until they reached one rather large and imposing door. A quick check with JC and the door was opened, just in time as well. Last mags emptying quickly, the two stepped past and the doors slammed shut into an eerie quiet. The silence was deafening.
Blade was the first to turn around, and arrayed behind them in this large and blue-green lit room were these rather large shallow pits. Pits, with people in them. People wearing blue-green surgical gowns, face masks, goggles, and holding a strange assortment of tools. People who had, moments before, working on the insides of several other people.
Cannon thought back to the other side of the door. What had the words above the door said? Bodysculpt Ward 17. That was it!
Silenced reigned some more. Blade was the first to break this new, very awkward silence.
"****."
*Slight OOC here... Just for referance, while most of SiN Tech here is, in fact, ripped right out of Emergance, there are quite a few differances. For example, Elexis' point may or may not be to enhance human kind her way. SiN Tech could just be a very sucessful, very a-moral corporation who's only desire is profit.
Just take a few things into consideration before trying to play out the whole senario from SiN.*
"Forget them, get over to that security terminal and implant JC's virus. While it uploads, I want you to download as much information as you can." Blade said. He backed up, his gun in shooting position. He was going to make sure nothing got the jump on them.
She got to work on the terminal while he moved into crouching position between her and the rest of the room.
"Blade.." Jessica's voice came out soft and fearful. He looked over at her pale face. "What is it?"
"I think we are going back to Cambridge." She said.
Blade looked over her shoulder. Lists of patients, and subjects. Thousands. One caught his eye.
Malon Regen.
Age: 23
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Nation: Bretonia
Location: current; Night Plateu scanned; Gathering center #4. Cambridge City, Cambridge
Status: Infected with Nomad and Recombinant strand. Morphing.
"Alright, lets go, virus should be done before anyone can stop it. Once its finished, all their information will be scrambled. It'll be easy to make a few strikes while they are trying to sort their information back out."
They ran back out of the facility with very little trouble. The security was probably expecting them to head in deeper into the facility.
"I think we are going to need some heavier guns this time.. Bretonia is sure to be against us now." Cannon said as they sprinted for their ship.
"I think I can handle that." John said with a smirk. "I Have a few friends that need to offload a heavy freighter. That thing can withstand alot of firepower for a short period of time. Once we get passed any blockades in space and get into atmosphere we will be fine."
(Alright, back to RPing, my next Ghosts post will be done soon too.
Long OOC: Editness: Heck, longer than the RP was...
This is probably the point where the SF should start jumping in, as I'm about to make a few in-game characters for Blade and Cannon. Ah heavy gunboat-freighter, and some fighters. I won't be using the usual ones, likely Kiith Somtaww, Kadesh, or Taiiden ships, except when in need of my gunboat. Keeps them different. So, I'll be making attacks when possible on Cambridge, SiN|Tech ships, and SiN|Tech stations.
Any ships with the names Blade or Cannon in them will be me. What happens in attacks in-game will determine things I write in here. If I can make an easy pass through SF or SiN|Tech to Cambridge, the infiltration to facilities will be easy as well. If it takes some effort, they will get in facilities, but will likely not get their main objective accomplished (blowing up the facility most of the time). If I'm repelled, or destroyed, it means they had to retreat and not even get landed on Cambridge.
I'll be neutral to the Bretonia police and BAF so I can make planetfall, as that will signal the planet landings on our attacks. So basically SF just treat me like I am hostile. I'll be doing similar things on stations. If I'm not attempting a story post by making an encounter, and its just to attack a ship, I'll probably shoot the NPCs to start them red to me, to make the fight like it should be. And I won't be using cruise to make planetfall.
I will treat SF as neutral unless fired upon, so if you don't shoot me, I won't shoot back. I do recommend shooting me at Cambridge and New London as those will be sights of attacks on SiN|Tech facilities that you should be helping to defend.)
(Sorry for this OOC post, but there is a person on the server using the name Blade. So all my Blade and Cannon characters will be Blade&Cannon(ship). For example, Blade&Cannon(fighter), or Blade&Cannon(Freighter).)
(OOC: Very interesting thread here... Although I have to ask Dab, why did you attack SiN Tech? What did they do to you, or is this another case of "I got board." ?)
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
(I got board. Very much BoArd. lol. Well basically, I saw SiN|Tech not having much a purpose. They make some RP threads sure, and fly around. But they have no real enemies or anything. So I decided to make an RP that gave them something to do, an enemy, and a reason to be on. Plus, I thought it would be fun for everyone. At first I hadn't planned for this to leave the forums, but what the heck, might as well go all-out. And no, I'm not bored, I got AW EVE division to make.. And I have Wraith and Kiretsu if I'm bored. Plenty of Freelancers out there to kill with'em.)
OOC: Dab, if you want to, you can use my character Markus Janson for one of the fighter pilots that will help blade and cannon. I will write my own RP soon for Markus once my Finals are over. ( In about two weeks). Also, I think that what you are doing is a good idea, blending the line between the forums and the game itself. I tried to do this a few days ago but Sintech shot my idea down, mainly because I did not have enough time to write something good.
Please take my proposition into consideration,
Sidewinder
