Kasida widened her eyes as her rage subsided and she managed to sit back on the ground in horror. She looked at her hands and felt her blood run cold as she saw star walker blood on her claws. No. No. It wasn't supposed to be like this! She let out a scream as she scrambled away from her crime and tears began to fill her eyes. Why? Why was she breaking now? She had killed others before. Why did she feel weak? Why was this any different?! She shuddered violently while staring at her hands once more. She felt absolutely sick to her stomach.

Jocelyn was a scrapper, just like any, she had been flying around the outer milky way, looking forca ship that was worth something, when she got a distress signal from a ship, abd everyone knows distress signals are jackpots. It was moving quite fast, but looked quite expensive, so she grappled onto it, and pulled it in quite easily. She docked with the whip and entered to try and look around.

"I didn't mean to!" Kasida screamed back at him as tears clouded her vision. On instinct, she flexed her wings to defend herself while she ducked herself down. Her eyes flared up as she bared her fangs to him. She doubted that she could talk him out of this, but the last thing she needed was to kill him. She couldn't live with having both of their blood on her hands. She punched at his stomach to try and knock the wind out of him. From there, she hoped to swing a punch to his chin so she could at least knock him out. It was bad enough she wasn't clear in the head thanks to this accident. But she figured that Harlan wouldn't want him dead like this.

"You don't think I know that!?" Kasida screamed back to him as she aimed a kick for his face. She couldn't kill him. She loved him as much as Harlan did. Of course Collis had to pick Harlan over her. She grit her teeth as she was trying to tear off his weapons so there was a lower risk of getting herself killed through all of this. Her eyes narrowed more while she was trying to not have too much of an emotional breakdown.

"H-hello" said Jocelyn, holding just a wrench "I came to help" She marveled at the beauty of the wisteria, and didn't want to see ths ship harmed. "I can fly you whereer you need to go"

Kasida shook her head as she aimed a punch for his chin so that could knock him unconscious. She only needed him to be out cold so she could at least restrain him from attacking her. "I didn't mean to... There was smoke..." Of course that didn't stop her in the first place, she knew that much. Still, she knew that she needed to keep hold on him. Thank god this stolen ship had a prison. That would make things hopefully easier.

She got to the cockpit and set course for the ship, that was on gps. "who are you?" Asked Jocelyn navigating her way through the milky way. Jocelyn was an Avanol, or what's commonly slurred as a bird person. She had decorative plumage on her head, and could not fly. Only special Avanol had wings. She had a short beak, and light blue feathers that got all the way to dark purple at the tips of the ones on her head.

Ellie noticed the guy left the fight and immediately stopped firing. This whole thing seemed like some nasty business. Clearly they all knew each other well and both seemed pretty torn up, so it was probably better to just leave them alone. She quietly disembarked the suit and returned control to Rune, who immediately powered down basically everything in an effort to restore normal temperature. Best to just leave him be as well. All of the fire and blast points all over the walls told her she needed to inspect the internal wiring and make sure the fight hadn't broken something essential, so that was what she'd do for now. Even so, she knelt to pick up the guy's discarded weapon, just in case someone decided to blame her for this. She saw Kasida tussling with Collis and decided not to try to help, given that she was admittedly tiny and would just be a liability anyway. Instead the small alien just made her way over to an access panel mounted on the wall with the most visible damage and began running diagnostics with different tools to check that electricity, air, and fuel were still flowing properly behind the wall, all the while keeping an eye on the other two to make sure nothing got out of hand again.

Kasida let out a long sigh through her nose before she soon knelt down to grab him from under his arms and started to slowly drag him across the floor and towards the cells. She could already feel the tears coming down. It wasn't like she could make this up to him. She realized that much. Then again, she doubted she would go back and do things differently. They were going to likely hurt Ellie, so she naturally had a soft spot for underlings anyway. Soon enough she had managed to get Collis into a cell and stripped him of his gear before stepping out. The most he could do for now was to lock down the gate. Hopefully she could get Ellie to... "Hey, little one, can you get an electric field in prison cell Alpha?" she called up through the ship. That was when she proceeded to pick up the scraps of paper, one addressed to her, and the one for Collis. She figured she could read both and give the one for Collis when he woke up.

"Yeah, yeah." Ellie closed the panel she was working on and went up to the cockpit, tapping a few keys to turn on the field. Normally she would object to being called 'little one' but it probably wasn't a great time for introductions considering recent events. Turns out the fight hadn't broken anything major. A stray bolt had severed a few wires in a couple places but it was no trouble to solder them back together. "It's quiet over here. I'll let you know if anything happens." She radioed (?) back. However she felt about the group, this was their ship now and she'd technically been hired to take care of it so she'd follow Kasida's direction for now. After checking on the soldered wires one more time she decided to head back over to the life support room and see if she could fix that room's overheating.

"That's good" Said Jocelyn, arriving at the ship "let's get you fixed up." She got out her ships first aid kit and helped Jason as best she could " You shouldn't fight" she told him, seeing the obvious warzone. (Amaryllis is doing homework)

"Thanks," Jason said, feeling better now. His body was starting to get its energy back and, luckily, he didn't have any damaged organs, only a few scrapes, a headache and some soreness. He looked over at Amara, she had a bruise of her forehead from where she hit her head, but beside that, she seemed fully intact. He watched in relief as her eyes fluttered open and she began to look around. "Wh-What happened?" She asked, eyes turning to Jason. "Where are the Andromeda ships? How's the Nilona? Have Char or Ray contacted us? Who's she?" Her eyes turned and he watched as she gave Jocelyn a once-over. "I sent out a distress signal and she answered it. We're currently docked on her ship heading to the Nilona. As for any comms, I haven't gotten around to checking." He explained to her, recieving a relieved look in t=reply. "I'm Amara, it's nice to meet you. Welcome aboard the Wisteria." She said, voice full of energy before she let out a groan. "Ugh, I have an annoying headache."

"Hey, I think I can cover it from here, Ray. The system seems to have given up throwing firewalls at us, I can maintain auto-pilot on my own." The female said next to him. Ray gave a heavy sigh. "If you say so. Thanks." Ray said, taking his leave from the monitor. There was a lot of noise, then that scream. -And there were those giants of people. What's going on here? He walked into another room and his face dropped as he took in the scene. Blood spattered across the ground, dents in the walls, scratches along the floor, a de-powered android and a dead body. Also, the ship seemed to be unusually warm -and not just in this room. Maybe if I go to life support... He made his way over to the room, nearly running into a girl who was a full foot shorter than him. "Sorry, her, do you know what happened back there and why the ship seems to be overheating?" He asked, noting how she looked like a mechanic.

"Hello, Amaria" she replied "I'm Jocelyn." Jocelyn got a rag from her ship's bathroom, then used water storage to wet it "Here, just be careful next time" Jocelyn said placing the moist towel on the girls forehead. "How hard does a human have to hit their head to get a concussion?" She had scarcely met humans, and the ones she did meet tried to kill her. She carried no weapons, except a hammer and crowbar for scrapping, and constantly saved lives, despite rarely being rewarded.

Harlan's notes Collis': So someone was able to kill me? I'm impressed. In an hour my body will become this iridescent blue powder. You need to gather this powder and throw it into a newly formed or forming sun. Don't be sad about me, it's not worth your time. Love you forever XOXOXO-Harlan
Kasida: I knew you were gonna kill me, but giiirrrrlll you savage! Nails to the neck? That's outta my playbook, and under the event you didn't kill me, I'm impressed by your restraint. Don't feel bad if you did though, I probably deserved it. Thank you for being a good friend- Kasida
Ps: put boss a$$ b*tch on my gravestone, memorial plaque or whatever

"Ah, don't worry about it. We're all just trying to kill each other." She looked up at the new guy, pausing for a moment before asking, "Are you supposed to be out and about? Eh, whatever. Anyway I think the ventilation is overheating, probably has to do with all of the lasers being fired and all of the energy in the air. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but I think that the coolant systems failed somewhere as well. Help me if you like, it'll be easier to figure out the problem with another pair of eyes." The truth was that she didn't really know what was going on. Ellie just hoped it wasn't the result of external damage, because that would require a spacewalk to fix. But so long as the problem was internal she was sure she could fix it.

Kasida felt tears come to her eyes as she stuffed the notes into her shirt pocket for now. She would just have to keep tabs on Collis until he was awake enough for her to give him his letter. She sighed as she walked back up, figuring she could find the little imp and let her know the current plan. She was still pretty unstable as it was, but she saw another stowaway with... She pulled out a gun and pointed it at the male, "What are you doing here?" she demanded while she bared her teeth ferally, "Sorry to be stealing this ship, but that's exactly what is going on right now." she huffed as she walked over to at least get to the imp so she could defend her in case this male was up to some funny business.

Ellie crossed her arms and smiled. "Relax, I've got it under control. This one's coming with me so I can see what's up with the vents." She fixed the guy with a quick stare that said 'go with it' before patting Collis' gun- which still hung at her side after she'd picked it up- and said: "You can send him back if you think I can't handle him, but then you'll have to come with me. I need another person in order to do these repairs." She didn't really, but the dragon-lady had said they were warrior types so she probably didn't know that. This way she had an alibi and the guy was less likely to be killed for speaking to her. That would kinda suck, and she knew by now that being killed for talking was something that was very likely to happen, considering that pretty much the exact same thing almost happened to her. "Normally I'd have Rune do it, but he's kind of busy overheating like everything else on this ship."
(Sorry for the late response, I was driving home from school and then helping my mom put away groceries.)

"Do that's what happened..." Ray murmured, voice trailing away. "I'll probably be able to help fix it, I am the technician and Hacker of a Mazereon Classic." He bragged. He supposed a system failure would most likely have to do with the hacking he'd done, the system would have abandoned its main function to fight off intruders. At least, that was what was programmed in most of the Andromeda ships he'd hacked into. He turned around to face a tall woman with a gun aimed at him and his gaze hardened. "I assumed as much. Well, if you hadn't noticed, about half of the Nolina's crew is on board and, if you had half a brain, you would have noticed that the ship is still flying even though you killed all the pilots. That would be what I'd been doing with another technician." He said coldly. He looked over at the short girl and nodded in confirmation, deciding to keep quiet until he was directly adressed again.

Amara said absent-mindedly. "Thanks -and I have no idea. Pretty hard I guess." She said, flinching as the other girl put the damp towel to her forehead. She unbuckled herself from the Pilot's chair and slowly stood up, flinching again as she moved. "I must have bruises my wings -oh, and I'm not a human." She said spreading out her sleek, black, dragon-like wings. She rubbed the top of them, messaging out the pain.

Kasida let out a small huff before she let out a small grunt. "Alright, fine, no funny business." she said as she looked to the little one with a concerned gaze. "Call on me if you need any muscle help, okay?" she offered to her while she pulled away and proceeded to head down to the cells once more. Maybe that would have Collis be awake? She bit her lip while she went to go and gather up the powder that was Harlan. She didn't know if Collis would ever forgive her for this mistake. She sighed softly. It seemed like Harlan had forgiven her. Still, she knew that it would take forever for him to trust her again, if he ever trusted her again. She wouldn't be surprised if he tried to kill her. She wished he didn't... She sighed to herself as she walked down with the sealed jar of powder towards the prison cells.
