Aftermath - Side II
. She splashed water on her face and put on a pair of dark glasses to hide her eyes. Sitting down in her seat she waited for a call from her superior officer, whoever that was. "I probably killed Jay, Dean probably crashed avoiding the blast from the Death Jar." Amber sighed. "Fate will decide my destiny."
<END SNIP>
The comm rang, and Amber picked it up.
"Pilot Amber FeBuggure."
"Dean? You're alive?"
"Pilot Amber FeBuggure, you have been charged with gross negligence under Section 5A of the Space Federation. "
"Did Jay get out?"
"You are also charged with flying without a license, and stealing a Starbug, as under Section 13 of the Space Federation. Space Core Directive 140238, and Solar Enforcement Law 1542/34.B."
"How about Dad?"
"Amber please. This is hard enough!" Dean's voice came back, "Please power down your space vehicle and await retrieval by accredited personnel. The closest Law Enforcement Officer will shortly be with you to read you your rights and to collect you and any evidence. I repeat, power down your space vehicle...Otherwise..." Dean's voice cracked, "otherwise the use of deadly force has been authorised."
"WHAT?" Amber shouted.
"I repeat, please power down your space vehicle."
Amber came to her senses and started the shut down process.
"Thank-you. Please await retreival, in this instance." Dean continued, "you will be tried aboard the JMC Blue Dwarf. The crimes with which you have been charged have a total possible penalty of loss of license, 5 years imprisonment, and a chicken being tied to your right knee?" Dean paused, "No, that actaully is correct. Please await retreival. Also, please notw that your license has been suspended."
The intercom clicked off.
Amber hung her head.
Dean got up from his chair and moved back into the midsection, where Phil and the others were all waiting, ready to attack the Death Jarette.
"Phil, I got some bad news."
"You mean apart from being bare inches away from evil Emperors? In a ship that may have a leak to space and so depressurising? There is worse news? Go on, try me."
"After discussion with Jay, you're daughter has been suspended from duty."
"What? Why?"
"For trying to kill us all. But that's not all."
"IT GET'S WORSE?" Phil screamed! "It get's worse then being covered in pieces of my alternate self, in a leaking, depressurising spaceship, 2 feet from the most evil people in the universe and having your duaghter suspended!? It actually can get worse?"
"Yeah." said Dean. "You're the closest accredited security personnel?"
"SO?" Phil was waving a bazookoid dangerously, as he was now slightly hysterical.
"You've got to arrest her."
Dean "Sorry" Thomas
