Re: Eric\'s alternate reality
<SNIP>
The ship landed heavily in the QB1 cargo bay, everyone piled out, and
started shooting. Jenny slipped away to the side, and broke through
a security door, making her way deep into the ship.
She took the datapad from her pocket, and turned it on, a MGS style
radar appeared on it, showing camera movement, and security
devices. "hehe, this is going to be easier than i thought" she said
to herself, dodging past them all expertly.
<END SNIP>.
Where: QB1 Luxury Space Cruiser
Who: Johnny, Eric & Jenny.
When: alternate timeline.
The head of security was watching the cameras, and was happy about
the progress his team was making. A few of his security team members
had been killed, but it wasn't too bad considering the scale of the
attack.
Eric was still holding his briefcase, and pulled out a rifle, which
he handed to Johnny.
"You know how to use one of these?" Eric asked.
"Yeah, I learned a bit at Space Corps. This is certainly a bit more
powerful than the spud gun they let me use."
"I have a feeling they may be after me, but I didn't think the Ganfia
would go to this trouble after me."
"Oh?" Enquired Johnny.
"As a private eye, I caused them a lot of trouble, bringing down a
lot of their biggest players. Enough so that they tried to kill me a
few times, so I decided that my jig was up there."
"But three raiders?"
"I wouldn't put it past them to board such a cruiser like this - they
always were heavy-handed and stupid. But I would suggest you have a
security team guard this room, as they will also possibly try to take
over the whole ship, regardless of whether they are the Ganfia or
not."
"I've already done that, and the Head of Security..."
Johnny was interupted as blasts were heard just outside the door and
it burst open, revealing three men.
Eric and Johnny dived out the way, but unfortunately the co-pilot
wasn't quick enough, with the men shooting her five times.
One of the bandits dropped dead, as the Head of Security hit him from
behind.
As Eric was falling, he fired at the other two men, hitting one
twice, mortally wounding him. Johnny steadied himself behind his
solid oak desk and peeked over the top, hitting the third guy in the
shoulder with the rifle, causing him to drop his weapon.
The Head of Security ran in, and Eric and Johnny helped him try to
close the doors and barricade them with heavy objects, but were only
partially successful due to the damage it already took when three
more bandits came. One of them threw a small grenade at the door,
giving Eric, Johnny and the security chief enough time to get out the
way before the door and the furniture were transformed into
matchsticks.
