"Incoming message," intoned the computer. "Finally," Jessie grumbled.
"Open comms." A face appeared on the screen. Just a face. She managed
to prevent her annoyance from showing on her own as she addressed the
AI. "Please identify." she stated formally. "I'm Holly, ship's
computer of the Blue Dwarf," he responded cheerfully. "And you
are...?" "Pilot Jessie Carter. Space Corp." she said shortly, wishing
she hadn't been forced to identify herself as SC. "Why was the ship
under a lockdown?" Jessie demanded. "Sorry, couldn't be helped. Half
the ship's systems were down, and it kicked in automatically. Why,
did you want to land or something?"
Jessie lost her temper. "Goddamnit you stupid AI, of course I want to
land! Do you think I'm here just for fun?! Now let me in before I
blow the bloody doors off!" "Touchy," he muttered. "All right.
Landing bay three. There'll be someone to meet you."
"Thank you." She said grudgingly, as the face disappeared.
"Computer?" "Yes, ma'am?" "Initiate landing procedure. Destination, bay three."
<snip> "Oh, Jack, " holly began. "theres someone wanting to board the ship,
would you go down to landing bay 3 to meet them, and bring them
aboard?" he finished, jack spun around on the spot, and carried on
walking the way he'd come, towards the landing bays. <end snip>
Jack stared in amazement at the small fighter craft that was landing
in bay three. It was a dark greyish-mauve, with emerald green
highlights, sleek and powerful like no ship he'd ever seen before. He
noted with pleasure the two laser cannons, and the skillfully
repaired scars on the hull. She'd obviously seen battle before, and
he hoped that the pilot had lost none of his skill. He would be a
valuable addition to the team, when they drove off the remaining Hymenoptera.
The airlock on the fighter suddenly swung open, and, to his surprise,
a heavily armed young woman stepped out. She looked around and,
seeing no one else, strode towards him. "You're the welcoming party,
I take it." she said, sourly. "Uh, yeah." he responded, then added,
by way of introduction, "Jack FeBuggure, Chief Defense Officer." Jack
gestured towards the weapons she wore. "I hope you know how to use
those." he said grimly. "We're going to need every gun we've got."

even log in to edit my character. Help!
