[Bynw]

[20:00] <anlarye> ** RECAP **
[20:00] <anlarye> The crew of the Lady Luck has split up. Jaeih, Sathara, Dr Cross and Ken have returned to their ship. They have found the ship has ransacked a bit. Definately was boarded in their absence. Ken is still going in and out of consciousness. His condition is not critical but the outcome is yet unknown.
[20:00] <anlarye> Raith has taken a captive of the aliens. And holds his PPG to the alien's head.
[20:00] <anlarye> Both the aliens and Raith are still in their suits due to the low environmental condition aboard the alien ship.
[20:00] <anlarye> ** END RECAP **
[20:00] * Sathara waits anxiously near the airlock of the Lady Luck, as the last she heard from Raith was to stand by.
[20:01] <Ken> "..b.la.. i.. V.. fe.. undr.."
[20:04] <anlarye> *Jaeih* "And he think's I'm rash." *she mutters to herself* "LT. Since you are in command when Raith is off the ship. Our ship appears to have been compromised. Attempting to conduct an inventory to see if we have lost anything or to see what data may have been accessed on the ships computer."
[20:05] * Sathara shakes herself loose.  "Right.  Good idea.  Keep an eye on the airlock in case the cap'n comes through.  I'm going to make sure it's just us here now."
[20:08] <anlarye> *Dr Cross has medical sealed and with full environmental system activated. Both he and Ken are out of their spacesuits and he has Ken wired up to the various monitors and support structures.
[20:11] <Ken> ::one of the monitors attached to Ken starts beeping in odd patterns::
[20:12] <anlarye> *Dr Cross looking at the monitor* "That's not right"
[20:12] * Sathara prowls the Lady Luck, pistols at the ready, looking for intruders.
[20:12] * Kagi (~Nameless@OWIRCN-a848e1fc.ma.charter.com) has joined #teara-adan
[20:12] <anlarye> (( hold for a moment ))
[20:12] <Knaight> (( Hi Kagi ))
[20:13] * Knaight is now known as KnaightDinner
[20:17] * Kagi is now known as Raith
[20:19] <Raith> ::Gives a half-smile as he adjusts his grip on the alien leader to make sure he has him wrapped up:: "BACK OFF!" ::His external suits speakers scream at the gathered aliens::
[20:20] <anlarye> :: the aliens back up but only a few paces ::
[20:21] <Raith> ::Begins dragging the leader with him down the hall:: "You make a move I promise you I'll kill you first and at least a couple of your troops before you take me. Don't do anything stupid."
[20:22] <anlarye> *as Raith moves down the hall more than 50 yards away the aliens close the distance again and maintain a 50 yard distance*
[20:22] <Raith> ::switches to his suit to suit comm:: "LT, I need you NOW! Move back to my position, tell the others to hold positions. Jaeih guards the Lady."
[20:23] <Raith> ??Is the leader still armed??
[20:23] <Sathara> ::over comms::  "Aye, cap'n."
[20:23] * Sathara rushes back to the airlock and hurries over to the hatch on the alien ship, and goes in to where Raith is.
[20:24] <anlarye> *the leader is still armed. his weapon has been holstered in his spacesuit*
[20:25] * Sathara pops up by Raith, both pistols at the ready.
[20:25] <Raith> ::Suit-to-Suit:: "Disarm the captive LT."
[20:26] <Sathara> "Aye, cap'n."  Sathara holsters her left hand pistol and takes the captive's pistol out of its holster.
[20:27] <anlarye> *the alien shows little emotion has he is disarmed through his suit's helmet*
[20:27] <Raith> ::Continues to move the alien::
[20:28] <Raith> ::Suit-to-Suit:: "Still got a smoke grenade LT?"
[20:28] <Sathara> ::Suit to suit:: "Aye, cap'n, got a whole belt of 'em."
[20:28] <anlarye> *the other aliens are keeping the 50 yard distance but no more than that*
[20:30] <Raith> ::Suit-to-Suit:: "When I give the word your going to pop one at our feet then I'm going to try to throw up one of those barriers. I'm taking this ugly S.O.B. to the lady and we are out of here. Hopefully they wont fire on us if we have him."
[20:30] <Sathara> ::Suit to suit:: "Gotcha, cap'n."
[20:30] <Raith> ::Continues to move the alien::
[20:31] * Sathara holsters her right hand pistol and gets a smoke grenade out of the belt across her suit.
[20:31] <Raith> ??Let me know when we get close to the LAdy Luck??
[20:32] <anlarye> !! to get to the lady luck. one has to make it to the stairs ... first ... right now you are getting closer to them and the aliens are closing the 50 yard distance
[20:32] * Sathara approaches the stairs, grenade at the ready.
[20:33] <anlarye> *the aliens are now 40 yards away and appear to be closing the distance and moving toward the stairs themselves*
[20:33] <Raith> ::Suit-to-Suit:: "At the bottom of the stairs pop it, then grab this ugly bastard with me and get ready to run LT."
[20:34] <Sathara> ::suit to suit:: "Aye, cap'n."
[20:34] * Sathara reaches the bottom of the stairs, pops the pin on the grenade and throws it a little beyond hers and Raith's feet.

[20:58] <anlarye> *Dr Cross* "YOu need rest and some O2." *he says* "Put one of the portable oxygen masks on him. And no whiskey."
[20:59] * Sathara goes to one of the cabinets and pulls out a portable O2 mask and puts in on the protesting Raith's head.
[20:59] <anlarye> *Jaeih engages the engines of the Lady Luck and lifts off from the back hull of the alien ship*
[20:59] <Sathara> *it, not in
[20:59] <Sathara> "Doc, have you got anything to give him for pain?"
[20:59] <Raith> "Get me to the bridge...." ::his voice trails off as Sathara forces the mask on him despite him turning his head side to side::
[21:00] <Sathara> "Jaeih's got the bridge, cap'n.  *YOU* need to stay put here and let the doc fix you up."
[21:00] <Raith> ::His voice distorted due to the mask:: "Nonsense, I'll be fine. Nothin' but a scratch."
[21:00] * Sathara rolls her eyes.  "Stubborn bastard."
[21:01] <anlarye> *Dr Cross* "Scratch hell. You've been hit. You have a class 2 PPG burn. If you weren't in that suit out there, you would be most likely dead."
[21:02] <Sathara> ::over ship comms:: "Jaeih, are we alone on the Lady?  Never did hear back from you on that?"
[21:03] <anlarye> *Jaeih* "Yes we are alone LT. HOw is Raith?"
[21:03] <Sathara> ::over ship comms:: "He's hit, but the doc can fix it if he'll stop with the testosterone poisoning and let the doc do his job."
[21:05] <Raith> "Frak me, I'm fine. How is Ken?"
[21:05] <anlarye> *Dr Cross* "He's in a coma."
[21:06] <Sathara> "Cap'n, do us all a favor and let the doc do his frakking job.  You're hit, you're burnt, you're probably oxygen deprived from crossing in a compromised suit, and you frakking well need to be treated."
[21:07] <anlarye> *Jaeih* "Captain, if you are fine. We've cleared the alien ship ... and I've ran a scan on it. It's in a decaying orbit of the moon. It will crash on it's surface within an hour." *she says over the shipcom*
[21:08] <Raith> ::Looks worried:: "Dammit! Doc, help Ken. I'm not in a comma"
[21:09] <Raith> ::Stands up and slaps the intercom on:: "Anything we can do Jaeih?"
