Kara: Flying fu...

Who: Kara McGellenWhere: About to get slammed by a barrage of machine gun fire<snip>Something she didn't anticipate happened though. As well as the large
beam wapons sitting atop the giant snail's shell, the Pulmonater also
had many smaller weapons meant for dealing with pesky smaller targets
in the vicinity.
Several machine guns popped out of holes in the shell and started
firing. A barrage of glowing energy headed towards Kara's Starbug.<end snip> "Holly! Shields!" Kara snapped as she gripped the steering tightly not looking forward to how un-fun this was going to be.  "We don't have shields remember?" Holly said with a sigh. "Shouldn't be an issue for you anyways. Ship blows up. You'll walk away."  "It still smegging hurts and I've blown up enough of these damn things! DAMN!" Kara shouted as the 'Bug was pelted with lasers. Sparks flew and control panels blew scattering a mix of glass, metal, and plastic all over her.  The 'Bug rocked and swerved as smoke began to fill the cockpit. Kara pulled and tugged on the controls trying to get some control but the ship was far too damaged and Holly shouting "Red Alert!" and making alarm noises wasn't contributing much to the situation.  When she could finally she again she muttered out another string of curses as another barrage of fire headed for the already screwed ship. She glared at the giant snail and smiled. Yes, she was going to ram that big Mollopod piece of weaponry. Even though it might not destroy the thing it could possibly throw it off course.  She gritted her teeth and braced herself as the firepower slammed into the 'Bug. Everything was a mess of fire, metal, and glass. But she did all she could to keep the ship on course. Hopefully enough of the 'Bug was left to do something to it.  The charred torn up remains of the 'Bug slammed into the metal shell of the giant snail and Kara was thrown into the air. She pulled out her blaster and used it's grappling hook function and laughed when she heard it hook onto something.  She pushed the button on her gun and was reeled in through the smoke from the debris of the 'Bug. Maybe, just maybe, she could do something to this thing from the inside. Or at least get control. It had a big cannon after all and that could be of some use.  Kara reached forward to take hold of the ship and yelped when she came in contact with something hot. The smoke cleared a bit and she found herself face to face with the barrell of one the machine guns that took out the ship. "Son-of-a-b-" *blamblamblamblam* This was gonna leave her with a massive headache later. That was for sure.Hotmail® is up to 70% faster. Now good news travels really fast. Find out more.
