"That's so amaz - Ezra..." The color drained from Arlo's face. "They're following us!" A huge black warship bearing the insignia of Andromeda was following them. The comm started buzzing. Arlo pulled out his guns "They will make us doc with them, then if we don't fight they'll take us as slaves. Just.. Ezra, get everyone ready to fight for their freedom!" Arlo marched off to the airlock, ready for a fight.

Amara looked around, people were clearing the area and suited crew members were appearing. Something was wrong. She made her way to one of the one-way windows that looked out on the galaxy and found a number of Andromeda ships heading their way. She muttered a string of curses under her breath before scanning the area for Jason. He was on the other side of the dock, talking to some crew members. "Jason!" She called, sprinting over. He turned away from the crew members to face her. "Andromeda ships." He said, face grim. "I know, anything specific?" She asked and he shook his head. "Only that the ship is on alert." Ten, in a hushed voice, he continued, "Do you think they followed us?" :That was my first thought too, but it's unlikely. I heard something big was happening on one of the nearby planets, chalked it off as the usual skirmishes, didn't think it would be anything big. This is most likely a retaliation for Andromeda to make sure everyone from that planet is fully under their control. Only a theory though, but there was another ship that docked before us, I saw it when I brought the Wisteria into dock." She replied, trying to convince herself as much as she was Jason. "Let's go, in any case, we can draw at least some of the Andromeda ships away from the dock." Jason suggested and Amara nodded her agreement. She tapped her earpiece, brining up a scroll of items that only her rent could pick up since the technology was designed to sing with her brain via electrical waves -or something like that. She pulled up a list of five people. "Char, Lilith, Ray, Jack, Kyle, Andromeda ships. You know the planet Nilona? Yeah, just about seven hours distance from it. I'm at a docking port, gunna head out to lead some of the shops away. Stay on guard, don't want you guys in the crossfire." The killed the comm before any of them could get a full sentence in before making her way into her ship, settling herself into the Pilot's chair. She sealed the hatch from there and pulled up a comm to Ezra. "Captain, permission to detach from the Dock? I'm going to try lead some of the ships away."

(It's fine. The ship is about to be attacked by Andromeda ships)
"Thanks Ezra, that sounds perfect." Amara said before cutting the comm. She waited until she was sure everything was ready for departure and pulled out of the docking ship with relative ease. "Jason, we need to get Andromeda's attention. Let's try out those Energy Capsules and the new guns we got." She decided, getting in close enough proximity for Jason to do his thing. -- Jason, after retrieving the items from the crates, waited for the airlock to seal on the inside. He attached the cord to his belt before the hatch opened, pulling him out into the vastness of space. The crispness always stung at first, but he quickly adapted and took three Energy Capsules in his hand. He pulled out a pressurized gun which could shoot out any small object from the size of a BB to the size of his thumb. The capsules were right about in the middle. He loaded the three in, released the safety, and shot each in turn about twenty feet apart near the ships, sending a bust of electricity into the blackness. He'd caught their attention. He could feel the Wisteria starting to move and he holstered the pressurizer gun and pulled out a pair of guns looking similar to pistols except for the fins that protruded from the top end of the barrel. He shot five times at the four Andromeda ships that had started moving away from the small fleet of ten. Well, four was better than nothing. The bullets cut through the air. They were heavier and made of a new material he hadn't seen before. This would be good. They were strong enough to make a dent in a space ship, be it small, which would alert the ships. They wouldn't attack right away since they didn't know what the Wisteria had fire-arms wise, so they probably had a solid thirty-eight minutes before the Andromeda ships opened fire, though it was all possible that they would give multiple warning shots.

(Sorry i couldn't post today, it was the dance)
Arlo loaded his guns and waited for the huge battleship to put out a tractor beam or dock with the ship. Arlo could see through the airlock window that many people in the docking bay we armed too. "Good" he muttered to himself then he saw a ship leave the bay, and watched as four ships followed it. He ran to the comm center on the wall and contacted the bridge "Ezra! What are they doing that is suicide!" He shouted, before two of the ships entered the docking bay. Arlo put his bag down and pulled out an oxegynation pin. One of his clients really wanted it. Once the suit became breathable he went through the airlock to the bay, where two ships had just landed. Arlo stood petrified as Andromedan soldiers clad in red armor and hsaving masterfully crafted weapons started to file out of the ships.
" get 'em" said the commander, and the troops started their assault. Arlo and the rest of the crew were bound and disarmed, but not searched.

Good, we've got four of them. I hope Ezra and his crew can take care well enough until their reinforcements get there. Maybe I should have handed out some of the weapons, no, that wouldn't make a difference, doubt they'd know how to use them. Amara shook the thought from her mind. All she could do was not doubt them. A comm started and the static image of Ray and Char appeared on the screen. "Dude, not cool to cut us like tha-" Ray began, but he seemed to have noticed her other screen which showed Jason in space and the four Andromeda ships on their tail. "That's it. Amara, we're coming to get you. We're near Oristo, we left about an hour before the planet got over run, thought you were doing a raid some twelve hours from here." He said, an edge of annoyance on his stone. "I was, finished and left late yesterday. I got sleep, don't worry. Jason, the Autopilot and I took turns piloting." She reassured when she noted the anxious expression on Char's face. "We're in a small ship, it should only take us about forty minutes to get to you." Char said, but Amara shook her head. "Jason and I can handle this. If you're forty from me, you're twenty-six minutes from the docking ship. They've got twice as many ships attacking them and their reinforcements are an hour away. I want you to help them out, plus, your ship can't hover without a pilot very long and would get stuck in the cross fire if you tried to board the Wisteria. You can dock your ship in the back of the Nolina where the Andromeda ships won't notice you." She cut the link and poured on some extra speed. All she really needed was to get these four Andromeda ships far enough away from the Nilona to where they won't make it back in time to help the other Andromeda ships. -- The Andromeda ships were in a simple formation, on in the front and three in the back. The middle back one was probably a minor commander for the other three ships. The front ship shot two fire bullets at him that would create a small explosion upon impact with an object. He fired two of his own shots at them. Suddenly, the Wisteria gained some extra speed and her was jolted back and just our of range of the explosion from the bullets as they made impact with each other. Nice timing, wish you'd give me a little more warning. He thought with amusement.

Arlo saw a group of Nolina troops entering the bay where he and the docking crew were being held. The Andromedan warrior, seeing this retaliation started to load the ships. The prisoners were forced onto one of the two ships, but only after all the cargo. The one ships got ready to leave, while the other stayed to finish off the docking ship.

Char piloted the ship around the Nilona and Ray pulled up information on the docking ship, finding his way to coming Ezra. "You doing okay? We're docking at the back of the ship, we're Amara's friends. In other words, support." He spoke as Char locked into a dock. The airlock sealed then filled with oxygen and Char turned the ship's systems to low. Ray cut the comm and they stepped into a smaller dock with a hallway that went straight around the side to the main dock. "Ready?" "Yep." She shifted her sniper-rifle into a more comfortable position and quickly made their way down the hallway, their steps almost soundless because of the type of shoe they had gotten a year ago on a big raid. The situation seemed bad and people were being loaded onto an Andromeda ship. "I'll stick to the ship, come get me after you've helped around here." He whispered before running out. He punched an Andromeda warrior in the face, making the soldier snarl in return and twist Ray's arm the wrong way. She stiffened at the scene but turned to see who needed help. There. She took careful aim and shot for the throat. That was a fatal wound for any race. The bullet broke easily into the flesh of the front neck and the warrior gasped and staggered to the floor. The Nolina crew member who had been struggling with the guard moved on to the next. -- Ray was thrown into the ship next to a milky-blue humanoid. As the male spoke, Ray let out a string of curses under his breath. This wasn't going to be easily. He would need to do what he could until the Nilona was free and the Wisteria could come get him. Each person who'd been with the Wisteria at one point or another had a tracking device infused into their muscle and nerves on a part of their body and they each had a scar to show for it. It had one of the strongest firewalls, he'd created and programmed them after all. His was in his left arm, deep in his skin. Luckily, he knew someone who was a doctor and they could work it into their muscle without breaking important nerves. Like the ones for his hand movement. He'd lost function in his left hand, so he had cybernetics implemented with grafted skin over them. That's why he could still use his hand. He didn't blame the doctor, no one was perfect. "Don't worry, we'll get out of here." He breathed to Arlo, careful not to let any Andromeda warriors hear him.

Arlo nodded to the obvious pirate then asked in a hushed voice "were you bound?" An Andromedan solier with paper white skin and four purple eyes walked over with a menacing gate. She held a semi automatic assault rifle. " what are you boys talking about, not escaping i hope! " she said in a high pitched voice. Instead of responding Arlo headbutted the woman, she passed out.

Ray grimaced as the scene played out. "Alright, try not to do that again. If you keep watch for more guards," as there were only a few in the room, "I can try hack into the system." He said. He turned around, exposing his bare arms to Arlo. "My left arm, down by my wrist. I've got synthetic skin, there that away and open the compartment if you can, i've got a flip knife in there." That was another prop of having a metallic hand. The hand its;f can't be used, so that, along with his wrist, was replaced and had skin grafted onto it. The panel in his cyborg wrist came in handy. Inside it he could keep a small flip-knife and a hard drive, two essential items.

"I've got that covered," Char said, now that Ray had transferred the comm to her. "Ray, my partner, has a tracking device in him and purposefully-" she paused to pull the trigger before continuing, "-got himself caught and thrown into that ship." She said before muting herself on the comm and pulling up another one with Amara while she locked onto a new target. "Amara, we're almost done over here, but we need to track Ray, he's on a prisoner ship. How are things on your end?" She asked and a strained voice replied to her. "All hell pretty much broke loose after Jason got ahold of a bomb, only stars knows where he was keeping that, and blew up a vital compartment of one of the four Andromeda ships. It's pretty much open fire and I'm one hundred percent sure their trying to kill Jason an-" the comm broke off suddenly and Char shook her head, unmoving herself with her Comm to Ezra.

"What? She was gonna do something to us!" Whispered Arlo as he reached down Ray's sleeve. "I've been taken as one of their hostages! They have electrified batons to beat you with. They kill!" He said in an almost hushed voice. He heard a click as the compartment on Ray's arm unlatched. Arlo picked up the the knife, and cut Ray's binding.

"Alright, didn't know. Guess I'm glad you've got experience then." Ray said minimalistically, already running through his mind how he was going to go about this. He could feel the ship detaching from the dock and the weight of the ship change as they left the safety and a different amount of speed and restraint was on it. "You got the knife yet?" He asked, feeling the panel open on his wrist, the fake nerves telling him so. He felt the panel shut and then a few moments later the rope released from around his wrists. "Thanks," He said, rubbing his right wrist before taking the knife from Arlo and cutting the other man's bindings. "I'm Ray by the way, and you are?" He asked, handing Arlo the knife to free the others.

"Arlo" he stated simply picking up the woman's gun and handing it to Ray "Nice to meet you" he laughed. He saw the carnags outside the ship and wouldn't want to go unarmed. He scanned the room for his backpack and found it when he came back Ray handed him the knife. He put it on, and started to cut one of the prisoners free. He hoped that Ray was keeping watch during this.
