The vesk makes a half-growl, half-grunt in approval when The Zane mentions blenders. Draka's 'health shakes' are an important part of her beauty routine.
Draka gets out of her chair and eagerly holds out her Swoop Hammer. "Draka smash for galaxy's sake? Always," the vesk nods her head. She watches in fascination as her weapon is empowered. "What this do? Make enemy nauseated? Hur hur hur." Draka daintily covers her toothy smile with one of her clawed hands as she laughs.
”Hey yeah, any help would be...” Dash realizes he has just about nothing that can actually benefit from Edgeseeker’s “help”.
”..just f@$#%ing great.”
He frowns when the Zane asks for shower repair and a nanite-fused electro veg-o-matic. He didn’t expect the sportsballer to actually think outside the box on this gift, and is secretly impressed, despite the completely ridiculous request. He considers warning the kish-man about ingesting leftover nanites, but decides he sort of wants to see what might happen if he does.
At the last moment Dash pulls off a gauntlet from his fancy antique armor and has Edgeseeker infuse it. Maybe someday he’ll reverse engineer the biotech somehow. Perhaps incorporate weapons, focus rays to repulse enemies, or channel a fistful of ioun stones to entertain others with the snap of his fingers.
Noticing Vetch back in at the helm, he gives the inevitable robot a lazy salute and pops the airlock for him. ”Looks like we’re off to guard the galaxy. Oh, and you’re welcome for the mend-me-up. Take care of your nanites and don’t go swimming for at least an hour.”
|
"Thank you for mending my mind. That startling rip into the Drift really tore it apart." Turning down the weapon fusion The Zane requests something a bit more peculiar. Edgeseeker Quillius shrugs either way. "If you feel that will help you then I am not one to argue." The small nanites scurry through the ship, repairing both the masterful blender as well as the shower's water pressure. The ship itself seems to very slowly self repair as the nanites remain clinging to the vessel's interior.
Popping the airlock Edgeseeker Quillius returns to the vastness of space to continue his exploratory journey.
*****
As you emerge from the Drift, they are still nearly a day’s travel from the Gate of Twelve Suns. As they approach, it’s obvious even from a cursory scan that the system is not a natural phenomenon. A perfect circle of a dozen stars appears stationary with respect to one another, maintaining a perfect gravitational balance. This stability is maintained with technomagical equipment thousands of years old, and it can be redirected and focused to tear a hole in the fabric of the universe—specifically, to open the gateway to the demiplane that holds the Stellar Degenerator.
When Vetch realizes that the nanite weapon upgrade will work on his disintigrator, he abandons his plan to surreptitiously implant the device into *The* Zane's toothbrush without the big man knowing it.
* * *
"Are we close yet?" Vetch comms the team, uncertain if this is the right stellar destroyer or the one the party is looking for is in another castle.
Abe applies the infusion to his own weapon for now, though he may shift it to Messalina's eventually. He wishes a warm farewell to Quillius as he watches the various scrapes and scratches 'heal' on the ship. "This is great!"
As they emerge from the Drift, he checks his sensors and analyzes what they see.
"Scans reveal that a single planet orbits each star at exactly the same distance. The planets have roughly the same diameter, mass, and rotational period. Even stranger, each planet’s orbit is synchronized with all the other planets in the system so that every so often they all face the center of the circle of stars at the same time. Man that's messed up."
"The gravitational forces exerted by the twelve stars is in a delicate balance, achievable only with exacting measurements and more than a little magic. These forces make navigating through the system very difficult and using a Drift engine within the system impossible. The safest time to attempt to reach one of the planets is when its orbit reaches the point farthest from the center of the system, though it is by no means simple. In addition, eleven of the planets are lifeless hunks of rock with no atmosphere; only one can sustain life - it is, in fact, teeming with it. A single intact structure can be detected on that planet’s surface."
"I figure that's where we're headed, but we might want to take some time to analyze these readings. Let me see if I can learn any more."
”Hm.” Dash has little to add to Abe’s information. ”Bright.”
He takes out a pair of sunglasses and slips them over his eyes.
”Ok, Abe, let’s do some additional scans. Vetch, let’s keep the water in the toilets. Take us in nice and easy.”

The Nanites go to work. Zane doesn't understand exactly how this guy is "built" and/or how he gets the nanites to do his bidding, but he DOES know improvements when he sees them.
The Back-up (Dashko) Blender works like PERFECTLY. So, Zane boxes up the 300 cred blender he bought at Absalom Station and sets up the vastly improved blender to start cutting through the sinew and bone that Draka mixes together.
Zane then rushes to the shower station and is in Nirvana. He tries out the new shower, and people around the ship can hear him as he sings (not so well) a tune.
When Two tribes go to war.One is all that you can Sc-oooorre.
(Score no more. Score no more).
When two tribes go to war.
(working for the black mask).
He then takes out his toothbrush, puts some paste on it and continues singing while brushing his pearly whites.
{mummble} numberrr one.{mumble}
{Mumble} Born again pooooooo-ooor man. {mumble]
Then, forgetting the rest of the song verses without the chorus, he switches songs. Spits out the toothpaste and starts singing at full volume some more.
Re-Lax. Don't do it. When you want to get to it.
*********
Zane's clean, prepped and ready for action when the ship gets emerges from Drift. He sees the straight stars and the straight aligned planets and heads right for the gunnery chair. Zane has a 6th sense that stuffs gonna start shooting at The Sunrise Maiden.
Hey Abe and Coach? Is it possible to send or receive a transmission from Absalom Station?
Abe will follow Dash's order and spend the time needed to do additional scans (taking-20 for a total of 39).
He'll then advise, "The occasional burst of gravitational energy emanates from each planet as it reaches the point in its orbit where it is closest to the center of the system. The energy comes from a hole in each planet’s crust at the equator that seems to reach straight down to the planet’s core."
"Deep scans of the system’s planets reveal small cosmic strings - one-dimensional “defects” in the fabric of space that produce gravitational waves - mystically contained within each planet’s core. These cosmic strings are maintained by massive technomagic devices kept in working condition by armies of maintenance bots."
He looks up from his screens at the group, "This is some seriously next-level s&@~. And it's a lot of work to maintain too. Quite a lot."
”Hey Abe and Coach? Is it possible to send or receive a transmission from Absalom Station?”
”I’m afraid not. Our ship’s comm is only good system-wide. Still better than our personal comms which only reach a single planet. We could buy a system that could reach Absalom from here, but it’d run us 32,000, and we don’t have that kind of cash as yet. You want me to add it to the wish list?”
|
|
Abe deduces that the release of this energy likely keeps the system stable.
From the vicinity of the nearest planet, a trio of ships approaches: one large ship and a pair of escorts speeding alongside. All sensors indicate that they are on an intercept course! The comm channels screech to life, and a gaunt man leers toward the camera lens. His skin is dark but is made nearly iridescent by a swirl of glowing nanites. Long, silver dreadlocks and an unkempt charcoal-colored beard frame his face. The distortion of the lens puts a shade of menace to the man’s movements and appearance.
“Are you ready for the end?” The question hisses out from a mouth of brown crooked teeth; a yellowish, soapy spittle flies forth with every syllable uttered. “I am the agent of oblivion! I am the fang of the Devourer! I am the herald of annihilation. I will sing when your bodies—then only shells— drift and twirl through the void, charred amid the tangled wreckage of your ship, and your journey to nothingness is nearly complete!”
The speaker is the Jangly Man, second in charge of the Desperate Hunger sect. For decades, he was a renowned pirate captain, but then he heard the call of the Devourer from the void, driving him mad. He joined with Null-9 and the two of them orchestrated a massive raid on an ATech shipyard several years ago, securing new vessels in the process. The Jangly Man serves as the captain of one of the larger starships—now named the Singularity—when Null-9 is busy with other matters.
The lurching and rambling madman goes on with his strange taunting and morbid celebration of the Devourer’s will as his ships move to engage the Sunrise Maiden. He answers questions with biting and insane mockery as well as more exultation of the Star-Eater. His babbling rises to a frantic crescendo of hate and nihilism just before the starship combat begins.
Shadows flit behind the Jangly Man as he babbles verbosely.
Mysticism
Vetch listens to Abe describe everything and a ephiphany comes to him.
”You know, Abe? It sounds like what you just described could be used to open up another plane. It’s a gate of sorts...where it leads, I don’t know, but I’m fairly certain,” he notes as he begins to take evasive maneuvers for the upcoming fight.
”Sounds like we have other problems right now. I think...I think...Draka has been blending bone in the blender. What is up with that?”
Perception
Sense Motive
Abe nods as Vetch brings the mystical into the equation. "Yeah, that makes some sense. They're using lots of magic here, as well as tech. Damn that's impressive." He dreams of the tech they might encounter, that he might be able to study... Wow
Abe quickly takes his Engineering chair and brings up the combat console - charging the shields and weapons systems.
"Damn pirates!" He doesn't activate the Maiden's jammer quite yet. They're pirates... who are they gonna call?

====================================================================
"The shadows's arrival is at hand! We must prepare for the coming!” The Jangly man laughs as he leans in close to the camera. His dreadlocks bounce off of the monitor.
Your alarms go off the charts as the interior of the ship darkens. The Singularity is getting a scan of your vessel as the trio advances without a care for their own safety. The large destroyer a bit slower but all the more dangerous.

Vetch waits for orders from Dash, or a speed upgrade (or something) from Abe before acting.
”Maybe we should try ramming them this time?”
Abe diverts power to the weapons systems to start and reacts with some horror to Vetch’s suggestion, ”No ramming! We just got the outer hull reinforced, and I don’t want it crumpled.”
vs DC 23
"We should try to take out the lead ship first if we can. No where to hide, so it's a slug fest I suppose. Let's hope the new shields hold!"
Alright Coach, which opposing player's kneecaps should get busted first?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Draka enjoying destroying things into a pulp but disagrees with the space rat. "Shoot better. Draka like living." She looks towards the others for backup.
Draka nods, agreeing with The Zane. She was going to smash their kneecaps flat in a rain of unrelenting laser fire. Even though their are technically inside, Draka dons a pair of sunglasses. "Draka here to shoot and chew bubblegum and Draka not like bubblegum."
Round 1
Vetch takes the ship into manual and begins to pilot, moving to the right and taking evasive steps as he tries to get into a clear shooting position.

Dash opens a comm to the enemy pirate. ”Like your mom on the day you were born, prepare to be disappointed, Captain Slobberbeard.”
Flicking the switch back to mute, he gives his crew some basic instructions.
”Vetch, evasive maneuvers until we disable a ship or two. Abe, full power to the weapons. Draka, Zane, Light up these jacka$$es. First one with a confirmed kill gets a smoothie endorsement from the Captain.”
Zane is sitting comfortably in his gunnery chair. A smile on his face.
It's game time! B-r-o-d-s-y-d! he tries to spell Broardside, but fails.
He makes sound effect noises as Vetch moves the ship skillfully into position. Pow. Pow. Zap. Ka-boom

Overall the Jangly man seems unphased by Dash's weak taunting. Flipping his own comms to mute Dash begins ordering commands to his crew. Abe diverts all remaining power into the weapons for Draka and Zane to do what they do best while Vetch swings into evasive maneuvers.
The Zane opens up all available weapons at his disposal. The laser net strings out scorching against the entire port side of the fang fighter. the shield barely holding it at bay as the gyrolaser singes it further.

Draka's twin laser ends up missing as the ship dips trying to avoid Zane's massive burst of fire. Jangly man leans back from the screen and looks to the roof of his ship. He raises his hands in the air. "Let their rain the end of times!"
All three of the ships turrets whirl around as high explosive missiles streak through the space at a high rate of speed.
Abe quickly flips a switch deploying an EMP countermeasure that counters the missiles tracking systems. the missiles swirl wildly, exploding before even reaching the Maiden.
====================================================================
Looking back down the Jangly man realizes that not a single missile hit at all. He looks gravely disappointed. Grabbing a pistol he shoots one of the crew in the back of his head. The acid stream from the pistol sizzles and pops as the crew's head melts at a rapid pace. "Let's not let that happen again shall we? Aim for their engines..."

Vetch waits for missile detentions on the ship and is pleasantly surprised by the inner quiet as the ship remains undamaged.
Nice.
Abe, pleased that the upgrades are having an effect (as far as he knows), continues to divert power to the weapons systems.
vs DC 23
”Nicely done everyone!”
Zane sees the missiles swim like drunk fish in the sea of space.
He comments over the intercomm. Hoping maybe the Singularity and Fang fighters can hear his mocking too.
DANG! There haven't been that many floppy and dangly missiles in one place since the line of old men at the Viagra counter.
Try this set of ta-ta's on for size Yellow Fang!
Quad Attack
He unleashes a burst from his quad laser.

Vetch rips up and around on the space nob, moving the ship for a kill shot.

"Draka! Don’t miss! Miss twice in a row and you’re on KP for the week." Vetch comms to Draka and *The* Zane.

”Holy f....”
Dash grits his teeth and squints one eye shut as the view screen fills with missiles. When Abe’s upgrades thwart them, he tries to act cool, but needs to peel his fingers off the armrests of the captain’s chair.
”Eww.. gross.” He considers cutting the video feed to Captain Slobberbeard, but he decides to leave the editing to Draka. With the right sound effect a melting pirate might be funny.
”Watch your language Zane! We have a lady on board! Now get back to firing those motherf$#%ing guns and those motherf$#%ing pirates!”
|
|
Vetch whips the ship in a quick circle as Dash's fingers curl back into the arm rests to try and stay in his seat. Mid roll Dash attempts to cease Zane's talk in front of Draka but only ends up adding a little flavor of his own.
Abe leaves the power diverting into the weapon systems as Zane and Draka line their shots up.

Draka opens fire.
Just as Draka opens fire another wave of missiles scream at point blank range.
Abe's counter-defenses still seem to be working marvelously, though the Jangly Man's scare tactic also seems to have improved results as the Singularity's missile seems to catch the side of the hull. The remaining two missiles continue to swirl as they lose track of the Maiden.
Draka and Zane's full force of teh weapon systems rip right through the sheetmetal as one of the Fang Fighters meets oblivion.
====================================================================
The Jangly Man aims his pistol at another crew as he watches the missile. As it hits he seems a little more pleased and lowers it for a moment. "Seems some are useful to the cause still. Get them out of the sky!"
"Roger!"
”Gods! Their shields are insane, captain!"
“Then we try to get rid of that turret!"

To which Zane crinkles his eyebrows together. Actually limiting the vision of his third eye and causing the eyelid to blink down.
Huh? Isn't the Viagra also available for women?That's all he can reply as he pushes the button to drop a missile barrage from the Aft of The Sunrise.

Abe switches gears from offense to defense, as he does what he can to repair the port shields.

”Those missiles really pack a punch.” he mutters, hoping he can keep them from the hull.
He watches as their missile supply gets used for the first time. ”Need to improve that missile bay I think. Those aren’t doing much are they? Hrm… I wasn’t really planning on doing that for a while. I’ll have to rethink our plans. And get more missiles!” he grins.

Draka turns her scaly head to give the robot a questioning glance. If a crocodile wore lipstick and blue eyeshadow... "It fine. Draka mainstream and down with lingo." That what tadpoles say, right?
The vesk feels more confident with her next shot, and scrolls through her com while recording: "Draka in big, important ship battle" and winks. A vesk will understand it as a wink but other races unfamiliar with vesk biology may be confused. Instead of being productive and firing another of the ship's weapons, she presses 'send' on the Cik Cok app of her com, broadcasting her shot and checks views. She already has 4.

”I was talking about Vetch.” Dash leans in over Draka’s shoulder, grinning for a video bomb. ”But while we’re chatting, how about you blow that ship into tiny pieces? Try leading it a bit.”
Dash then throws out a vintage hand sign, thumb and pinkie spread, popular maybe a century ago.

Vetch swings the ship around as Abe works on repairing the shields. Draka and Zane line their shots up and completely smoke the Fang Fighter in a hail of fire. The ship explodes sending ordnance and a burning engine spinning into space. A very dead and badly burned cultists careens towards your viewport as he bounces off of the windscreen and slowly sliding across before entering deep space once more.
The Singularity and Zane exchange missiles as the shields of both ships absorb the explosions.

”You’re all going to be martyrs for the cause you fool!” Abe shouts at the other captain.
He again diverts power from their large plant to the forward shields, trying to bring them back up to snuff.
vs DC 23
”Vetch...” Dash begins an order but finds the ship already in perfect position.
”Abe...” He checks the ships shields and notices them already balancing.
”Zane!” He calls over the com as the perfect moment threatens to pass. ”Dammit, what are you waiting for? Now, Zane! Fire!”
Round 4:
Draka shoots the ship's Twin Laser, then turns towards the ship's Light Plasma Torpedo Launcher. She snarls and her tail nocks over an empty coffee mug and the metal vessel clanks to the ground. "More explosion." She seems unhappy with her latest shot. Her shoulder brushes past the fashion throw blanket artfully placed across the back of her chair and the fabric slides to the floor, joining the metal mug. She hulks toward's the Aft weapon controls (with lashunta grace) and jabs the firing controls a bit harder than necessary. "RHAAAA!"

When Dash says to fire, Zane unloads the ammunition from everything he can reach.

Dash is having a much harder to demanding much from the crew as they are rapidly turning into a well oiled machine. Abe pumps power back into the forwards shields as they begin to regenerate. Vetch masterfully maneuvers around the much larger vessel as he helps line up a crippling blow.
The attacks blasts a hole right into the side of the ship and disables the Singularities engines as it begins to drift about lifelessly.
“Our ship’s been pushed through the Blood Door, boss. The interlopers are tougher than I thought—may the Devourer consume them! I’m sending out a long-distance transmission for more choirs to come, slit their throats, and feast on their remains!”
While unable to stop the transmission from your own vessel you certainly could by boarding and faking an all clear signal from within the Singularity.
Abe glances at his screen, but is overly focused on the shields and misses whatever is shown there.
"Well, they did what they set out to do - they were martyrs for their cause. Though as pirates, I suppose their cause was looting, so not much to martyr yourself for really." he laughs at their victory.
Seeing that the Laser weapon firepower totally disabled the other ship, Zane enthusiastically asks, Oh Yeah! Can The Zane be a part of the Tea Bag Boarding Party?
Vetch waits to see what Dash Captain Spacepants wants to do.
