A young trainee mechanic glanced up. Hardly bothered by the abrupt entrance "Gunna have to do better then that to get my attention" He raised an eyebrow "Your elites huh? Thats a bit of a claim. They aren't here at the moment, gone out to get some chick who put Rufus in a coma." He smirked and continued working on the ship. "Want me to let them know you... came by or somethin'. Guess I could find someone to get you a drink if it was important... they weren't gunna be too long from what I hear."
[font=Times New Roman]"Bonnie, we're ready here. Give us a distraction."[color=#000000] She grinned, she always wanted to shoot up the station. "Copy that, weapons hot, you got 10 minutes, you hear me? Any longer and I'm gunna have to leave you there, or risk getting shot to bits." With that she opened fire on the base, targeting the left docking ports first. "Half of them will get there, and have nowhere to go, left hanger wing is shut down."10 minutes had gone by, Bonnie was getting edgy she hadn't heard anything from them, or seen any sign they were about to head out. "Come on guys, its getting hot out here, them fighters don't seem to like me much ya know"
The man turns what can be seen of his head towards the mechanic. He doesn't say a word, but motions with his left hand. The man standing beside him walks up to the mechanic, grabs him by the throat, and carries him to the man in the wheelchair, holding him in place. "I'll ask again, where the hell are my Elites, and why the hell shouldn't my friend here snap your neck for talking to me like that, the first HOUR I'm awake for the first time in a damn month?!"
"Shi-"He tried to get away, but gave up when he realised it wasn't going to do him any good, and tipping over the lamp he was using, breaking the glass. "I told you man, they went to get some chick who put... Hang on a minute... You're... no."He tried to get away from the man holding him there again, at least to get him to loosen his grip.
"I told you what I know, they went to get the chick who put you in the coma. Ft Bush or something was last I heard, Zack and Alex were gunna go find this chick on the station while Bonnie played suicide and is was gunna call the attention away from 'em. Dunno if that was the last plan or not, only heard them talking 'bout it while I was helping get the ship armoured.. They were gunna take all of 10 minutes or something, that's all they would be able to hold 'em off for. Clyde is on standby in case things turn"
"Told Bonnie she was stupid, ya know, shes gunna get herself killed sooner rather then later, she just told me to stick it and she would rather be there then anyone else. Something 'bout not being as much of a loss if she did get killed."
"Perfect, they send one of my best damn pilots on a suicide mission. Now tell me where the hell my droid is, I'm not seeing it on any of my trackers." The man in black lowers the mechanic to the ground, but keep his hand on the mechanic's throat.
He dropped the spanner he was holding, and flinched at the noise of it hitting the ground. "It was all their idea. I mean Bonnie suggested... "he started saying before deciding against it. "You're driod... Right... "He pushed the man in blacks hand away from his throat, and went to make sure the droid was where he had left it, before deciding to pick up his spanner he dropped, and stumbling over his own feet. He regained his balance, and pretended nothing had happened, "That was in for repairs I think...."He got on the comms speaking quickly. "Uh, I was wrong. It's in... Kyushu? What the Hell is it doing there?!"

[font=Times New Roman]Bonnie shook her head. [color=#FF99FF]"Clyde, I'm not leaving them here, I'll try hold them off till they get out, at least.... I wont be shooting anything, just tryna avoid getting shot at.... I need you to go back to base, get everyone who has a ship on standby. If, in the off chance, I go down, get the ships out here, make sure those two get away unharmed."
"Get it to New York, now." The man in black walks towards the doorway, standing beside it waiting. "And if any of the others turn up, tell them I'm going to save Bonnie's ass in my damn Freighter." Rufus wheels himself out of the bridge, running over the mechanic's toes as he goes.
The mechanic nodded"Yes sir!" before stopping"Wait, what. Boss, you crazy??! Theres gunna be half the damn LPI at that station, and who knows what else. Navy, Security force, Baltimore is just across the way. You are gunna get yourself killed..... Ain't it bad there is already one of you lot in that situation?!"The Mechanic yelped and muttered something as Rufus headed out of the bridge, he dropped his comm unit at the same time. He picked it up in a hurry before trying to get in touch with one of the guys or Bonnie, to let them know Rufus was here and he was on his way. He couldn't get through, do he headed to the AI Command unit before getting back on the comms. "Does anyone know how to use this damn AI thing?! In need to get it N.Y. Pronto."
"Come on... come on..." Alex muttered scanning the crowd of rushing police. Then he spotted Devin.
"Right on time." He checked his watch. "Five minutes Zack, lets move." He moved forward slipping syringe between his fingers and crashed into Devin.
"Sorry," He called turning around and pocketing the syringe. Zack was already moving towards Devin and got there just in time to catch her when she collapsed. He muttered something about alcohol but all the cops were way to busy to pay any attention. He arrived at a Liberator Alex had already hacked the controls to.
"And... we're done. Get her on the ship and let's get the hell out of here now." He climbed into the ship and grabbed the controls rocketing out of the hangar with a wave of fighters.
"Bonnie, we're done break contact now!" Alex shouted into the comms taking off towards Magellan.
"Bonnie, we're done break contact now!" [color=#FF99FF]"Copy that! I'll meet you in Magellan"She headed off towards the scrap field towards Pittsburgh, to buy them some time, before heading south towards Texas and cutting across towards the California Jump Gate, slowing making a larger distance between her and the fighters on her tail. By the time she got to Magellan, they had given up and returned to sort out the mess back on their base. Bonnie got on the comms to the Mechanic, Jedd. "So, that was a success, should be home and dry soon."
"Uh.. Bonnie.. You will never guess what happened while you were gone..."Jedd paused for a minute. "Rufus is back... Heading to the Bush to save your ass or something... He isn't happy."
"Wait. What?" [color=#000000] She got off the comms to Jedd, and changed frequency to get in touch with Zack and Alex. "Uh, guys, I've just been told Rufus is awake, and headed to Ft. Bush in his freighter to give us a hand."
"Are you kidding me?" Alex muttered. He was in the middle of dumping the Liberator and transferring himself, Zack, and Devin to his Eagle, which was currently being flown by the AI.
"Of all the times for Rufus to fly in and be the hero..." Alex shut off the AI and got settled in the familiar cockpit of his Eagle. He keyed up Rufus' freighter.
"Rufus," He said into his comm unit. "I hate to tell you this but you're a bit late to the party. We're all safe and sound and heading home. We'll see you back there... try not to get blown up again? And it's bloody good to have you back."
He shut off the comm unit and gunned his Eagle back towards the Intruder witht the stolen Liberator exploding behind him.
