Kara and Seymour made thier way into the ship. Kara took the controls and
put the key in.
"Okay sir I've never flown this model and I haven't flown anything but
Starbugs for the last few years so if I do something wrong give me a little
break."
Kara explained as she started up the engines.
"Sure."
Seymour then buckled himself up tightly remembering Kara's reputation for
crashing. Kara flew after the enemy ship.
"So thier ships organic?"
"Yep."
"Good that gives me an idea. When I was working at the base before the
accident that got me in this god forsaken digital projection. I worked on a
project that worked with organic ships this'll be easier than I thought. If
we can get closer enough I destroy the ship. Does this ship carry and
explosives?"

Nice one, Listy. I should trust you to fly when I go suicidal. You drive
like a drunken baboon, laddie. -Rimmer, Stasis Pod From Hell.
