*Action post* - "Caling back the teams" pt2

Who: Eric Lustbader, Trisees, John Smith, Matt Lister and
Alicia Bevair.
Where: New Japan
When: After Jack Febuggure died
 
Alicia put her hands up to her face as the realisation
settled in. Jack had died to let them escape.
"He was so heroic…" she said, clasping her hands together.
 
Trisees's shoulders sagged as he messed around with the
navigation computers. "Can someone just get the hysterical woman out of here,
its bad enough that SHE's the only pilot and her inability to cope with the
drama of away missions means I'M having to help fly the bloody ship!"
 
He nodded to Matt Lister, who pulled back on the throttle
and took them up into the atmosphere, heading back to the Blue Dwarf.
 
They managed an entire seven seconds before they were in
trouble again though. A large Japanese heavy battleship blocked their path.
 
"Can we get around it?" Asked John Smith.
"No," Said Trisees, looking at the computer. "There's
several nasty looking automated turrets everywhere else that'd rip us to
pieces. We have to get past that thing."

Who: Captain Jed Calvert
Where: Blue Dwarf, Drive Room
When: Same time
 
Calvert sat in his Captain's chair, which was more of a
dirty saloon stool which he'd moved into the Drive Room to keep a closer eye on
what's going on. He rested his spurred boots on the desk in front of him, and
slouched with his cowboy hat over his face.
 
The phone rang.
 
Well, it was the communications console. A crewman quickly
picked it up and passed it over to him.
 
"I told you I wasn't to be disturbed woman, can't ya see
ah'm busy checking mah eyelids for holes?!"
 
"It's Jack's away team… withoug jack. They say they need
backup."
 
Calvert took the call and yelled at Trisees for five minutes
before slamming the phone down.
 
"Bloody useless crew!" Calvert whinged, and checked the
vicinity radar scan.
 
"Crewman… missy, whutever your name is. Contact Amber's away
team and Phil's away team, both of them are equidistant from New Japan, get
them to fly on over and give Trisees's team a hand with dispatching a Japanese
battleship."
 
Jed turned away and started polishing his hand pistol. "Oh…
and tell them to stay clear of it's right-hand side, that's where the
shrinking-ray is."
 
He paused only to spit some tobacco into a pot.
 
"And tell them that if ya get reeeeeal close, you can fire a
dozen missiles into its hangerbay when it launches fighters. They really don't
like that."
Jed grinned as the crewman looked at him puzzled.
 
"Well y'all tell them then!"
 
"Yes Captain!"
