*Action* - "The great escape" part 2

Who: Jay, Dante, Harris, Mk10 and Seymour
Where: Shellite ship
When: Now
<snip>
"Jay we're taking damage." Said Mk10.
"Look, I can't help it. This thing's controls are rubbish."
"No... I mean, we're being attacked."
Jay raised his eyes and he could see more of the helicopter gunships
buzzing around above them, firing missiles down at them.
"Don't worry." Said Harris, finding a rocket launcher under a desk. "I
saw a hatch onto the top deck earlier." Dante grabbed another rocket
launcher and followed.
<end snip>
The hatch onto the top hull of the ship swung open and Chris Harris
pounced out like a tiger onto the deck. He crouched to keep his centre
of gravity low, as the motion of the ship created a strong wind that
could easily blow him from off the moving vehicle.
Dante joined him and pointed upwards. A black helicopter was firing
down at them.
Harris got down onto one knee and fired his missile launcher upwards,
the propellant swirled around like a corkscrew until it hit the
vehicle dead in the centre. The windscreen shattered and the pilot
hurtled to his death.
The helicopter lurched forward and plummeted towards them, the
spinning blades coming closer to carving up the Blue Dwarf security duo.
Harris took a step back, careful not to slip off the smooth outer hull
of their ship. The remains of the helicopter crashed right next to
him, the spinning blade embedding itself fully into the metal hull.
Harris took a deep breath of satisfaction, but it didn't last long.
Jay banked the massive ship hard to the left to avoid a building.
There was nothing on the roof to hold onto so Harris tumbled over,
sliding all the way to the edge of the roof...

Who: Dr Keto and Vanessa Chrysler
Where: The underground carpark where the rest of the crew were hiding
When: Same time
"Doctor!" yelled Vanessa. "We've got wounded coming in!"
Keto rushed over to the door which Vanessa was holding open and helped
several injured crewmembers inside. It was a team of seven people who
had been send out to find food for the hiding crew. Only four had made
it back.
Keto sat the most injured down onto a surgery bed. He had a
complicated chest wound to which Keto put a clean towel to stop the
bleeding. He called Vanessa over. "Nurse! Put that baby down and apply
pressure here." he demanded.
Vanessa put baby Alota with her comatose mother and did as the doctor
asked.
Keto made the other patients comfortable, and then threw several small
pots of potions to other crewmembers. "Use these on these wounded
people." he commanded.
Keto then walked quickly to the first man, who was screaming in pain
from his chest wound. Keto realised he had no time for pleasantries.
"Were you followed?" He asked the man.
The man just screamed in pain. Only Keto seemed to realise the
importance of his question. Right now he was thinking as a Doctor, and
as the person in charge of the entire Blue Dwarf's hiding crew.
He slapped the man. "Were you followed?" he repeated.
The man swallowed. Keto could see that there was blood in his mouth.
"Yes." he said. "There was nowhere else we could go but here."
The doctor stepped back. He took a shallow breath and then shouted as
loud as he could to the rest of the crew who were in adjoining rooms.
"Prepare to defend yourselves, we're under attack!"
He was impressed at the speed people could reach for their weapons and
ready themselves. Many of them rushed through the exit, preparing to
fight the attacking Shellites before they reached the entrance, and
some lined up with their weapons covering the door.
Keto could hear fighting outside.
He looked around. They were in an underground carpark with only one
way out. Only now he realised the stupidity of hiding here. He thought
it would be an advantage, with only one entrance to worry about
guarding. Now it meant they couldn't escape.
"Prepare the Starbugs." he shouted at some pilots and technicians.
"And get everyone inside. The entire crew." They looked at each other,
then back at him in confusion.
"Where can we go sir? It' daylight outside. We'd be seen. We have
nowhere to go, we don't even have enough fuel to break orbit."
Keto stabbed a finger at them. "Just do it!" He barked.
He pressed a large red button on the wall that set a complicated array
of machinery into motion. A long, thin beam of sunlight cut into the
dreary underground cavern. The beam got wider as the large doors
directly above them started to slide open.
This was where they had flown the Starbugs, Space Eagles and Blue
Midgets into when they had first arrived on this planet. The cacophony
of almost a hundred shuttles revving up at once in the underground
cavern almost deafened him. One by one, they all flew up into the city
above.
