**This Post brought to you by SMAndy and Becca! May your reading be as
pleasurable as the writing!**
Who: Amber, Jack, Canaries
Where: here & there
When: just after Mk.7's Moonshine swimming party.
Amber hastilly put on her Canaries uniform. She had overslept and was
running a bit late. She finished tieing her hair back in a long braid,
diffferent to how she had it on the outside as it annoyed her when it
was down or in a pony tail, especially when she was running about with
the yellow army.
She dashed into the hallway and fell into ranks at the back of the
room, waiting for their visitor.
The large hall filled with yellow Canaries stank of their
comparatively bad living conditions, a pair of small doors at the end
of the hall, on a small platform, almost a stage, these doors being
the only way off of Deck 13, all eyes stuck on it, as it opened
slowly, and a figure stepped out. A man with a bull cut, dyed a
crystal blue, and a scar across one of his eyes. he walked to the
edge of the stage, and looked out into the crowd of what he always
thought of as 'The Blue Dwarf's personal human shield'. Little did he
know that this time, his neice was a part of it.
"There is a mission for you unfolding as we speak, i don't know how
many of you will survive, but you've brought it on yourself by being
down here." He began. he knew they all knew this anyway, so thought
there no difference in telling them.
"We have captured a Hymenoptera Battleship, and are at this moment
clearing it out for your chance to save Earth!" he called out to them,
hoping they were at least partly patriotic, and would want to save
their homeworld.
Amber's blood froze and she fought the urge to turn and run out of the
room as she saw her Uncle comethrough the doors. What he said made her
catch her breath. She held up her hand to ask a question. Prepared to
put on an accent.
Jack looked out into the hall, seeing the hand rise above the heads of
the others, and stopped what could only be called the briefing.
"yes" he asked, looking at the direction of the hand, not being able
to see the owners face, the other Canaries blocked his view. "You have
a Question?" he added.
"Why aye man." Amber said, putting on one of the worst geordie accents
in the history of the universe. "I thought all the bugs were out of
the system Ja.... Sir." she said, hoping that he couldn't see her or
recognise her voice.
"A very good point, most of you probably know that the Earth was
destroyed not too long ago, but we altered our Wormhole drive, and
used it to travel back in time, for a second chance." Jack said, then
turned back to the main of the group in front of him. "Any other
questions before i begin with the plan?" He asked.
There was a chorus of "No Sir" from the Canaries. Amber smiled at the
resourcefullness of the crew, but could't help feling bitter that no
one had come to her trial, that crew that put her in here. She started
to feel a germ of hate and bitterness in her and squashed it before it
had chance to grow.
"Glad to hear it!" Jack said, then behind him, a flip chart was
produced, and he was handed a black pen.
"oh, so we don't get a big projector here so i can do it all
fancy-like?" he asked the guy that gave it to him, but received
nothing more than a smile.
The pen was raised to the paper, and a basic drawing began to take
shape. A big blob, surrounded by small blobs, and another small blob
outside this group, with a blue blob next to it. A big ball was drawn
on the side of the paper.
"This big thing here" he said, pointing at the first big blob he'd
drawn, "Is the Hymenoptera Mothership, we will be using this
battleship we have comandeered" he continued, pointing at the blob
next to the blue blob, "To ram the mothership, and destroy it.
unfortunately, we do not have the resources to be able to crew this
battleship, so this is why we need you lot." He shouted, "Don't worry
though, there are escape pods, so once the mission is successful, you
can escape. As an act of kindness, those who survive will be released
from here, and left on Earth to start anew." He finished.
"But, anyone that leaves the ship before the mission is over will be
either killed, or placed back in here, i don't think any of you want
that, plus don't forget, that you will be fighting to save Earth. Are
there any questions about this plan?" he asked, beginning to get a
little hoarse from the shouting.
Amber put up her hand again.
"Who is going to drive the ramming ship?" Amber asked in her fake
geordie accent. Knowing that there was no one on the dwarf except her
and possibly Jay that could even slightly get away with it. "And what
about the Bug defences? I thought they were too strong for us to get
through?" Amber said, knowing what they were up agains to the smallest
ship in the Hymenopterran fleet.
"That is why we have comandeered a Hymenoptera Battleship, the... for
want of a better term... clearance codes are still on its computers,
so we should be able to get through their defenses with it, and have a
clear shot at the Mothership." he explained, hoping this would put
their minds at ease. "Commander Chrysler will be joining you on this
mission, as he is the best pilot we have, he knows about the
Hymenoptera in ways no other has survived long enough to pass on, so
you have the best shot at this possible." He added, then cleared his
throat, wishing he had something to drink that wasn't from a water
fountain. "Any other Questions? This mission needs to start in the
next half an hour if we are to have any chance of success" he said,
looking at his watch, and wishing they'd get a move on.
Amber, realising that it was hopeless trying to get Jack to see her
point as he didn't relaise it was her and she was only a criminal to
him now shook her head and said.
"No sir." She resigned herself to the suicide mission, it was either
that or risk everyone knowing it was her. To he crew she'd be scum, to
the cons she'd be scum as well. She sighed.
"Good to hear it!" He said, turning to the men that guarded this Deck,
and had them get everyone ready for immediate dispatch to the
Hymenoptera Battleship that was now docked with the Blue Dwarf,
allowing easy access from the main hall room, where they all were now.
The airlock opened, and allowed them to walk aboard, where they were
greeted by armed guards, watching their every move, hoping they
wouldn't have to do anything. Amber marched on with the others,
hiding her face from everyone, in case they knew her.
<TAG TO JAY!!! let's get this party started!>
