~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The replica of the ancient mig sat dormant at the docking station as
Amber and John walked down the corridors of the eerie ship.
"I just wish something would happen." Amber complained
"This quiet is killing me."
Keats was strolling casually by Ambers side, his Jacket, brown
leather over an archaic flight suit, was moving as Quilibet, his MAG-
Tech pet got comfortable. He appeared not to hear Amber.
She repeated herself.
"I said, the quiet is KILLING me"
John looked surprised as he caught her giving him a scowl. He removed
his headphones and said
"Oh.. yeah... the quiet before the storm is always the worst... but
the storm isn't exactly cake"
He patted his pocket, inside, more pre millennial artefacts, this
time a Browning pistol. He smiled and continued
"Anyways... you know what to expect?"
"I know what my worst nightmares are if thats what you mean. Not what
you'd expect either."
The dark side of Amber seemed to be laying dorment at the moment, the
artifact in her head not reacting, almost like it was recharging.
There was a noise up ahead and a metalic clang. "Oh at smegging last,
some action" She pulled out her gun, a modern re-make of an old Smith
and Western six shooter. The chamber upgraded to hold new cartridges
so many more shots could be fired off.
<elsewhere>
"dude" Jack said, watching eric plough into the metal pole.
"gotta hurt..." he added, stepping over and giving him a hand up.
Just as he pulled him to his feet, Jack put a hand to his ear.
"someone there?" he subvocalised to a new frequency, something from
the ship itself was interfering with his nano's, creating a low whine
that slowly increased in volume. he began to moan in pain as it got
louder.
"ahh, what the hell was that?" he asked, turning the nano's off.
"Are the radio's still working here?" he asked, everyone in his group
reached to theirs and checked them.
"nope, dead" Phil said.
<back again>
The two Keat's <tho one of them didnt like to admit it, and the other
was scared to> readied their weapons as they heard voices.
"Waddya make of this babe?"
Wincing at the 'babe' comment but letting it go, Amber scouted the
nano-frquencies, getting similar feedback as the then unbeknownst
other group.
"Dont know.. not picking anything up on the frequencies... but they
sound human enough"
John checked his.
"Electrostatic interferance... the wave bands are being distorted by
similar local bodies.. kind of a form of Superposition, but the
waves don't reform afterwards... i doubt any kind of transmission
above tin and string will work here"
Amber walked infront of John.
"This place is giving me the creeps. I can tell something bad is
going to happen......" She looked around.
"Keats?.... John? Where are you?" She whimpered and checked the radio
frequencies and the nanos. Nothing.
"ANYONE?!" She yelled, finding herself totally alone on the freaky
ship. A dark shaow brushed past her causing her gun to fall from her
hand and bounce away. She ran, knowing what the dark shape was. She
ran blindly down the corridor.
"Oooooooo...Kaaayyyy" John stood there with an unlit rollup hanging
slightly out of his mouth.
"I knew she was against smoking.. but damn..." he said
"So... the ship sends people insane.. ok.. i know my fears, and i
know if they appear, then i can survive, keep a cool head and il
survive" he thought.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"So phil... any ideas on how we're gonna contact the other group
now?" Jack asked, turning the radio on a bit only to hear more
static.
"these things are useless" he said, putting it back in his bag.
"someone there?" he said, turning around and looking into the
darkness, footsteps approached.
"you guys hear that?" he asked, "or is it me hallucinating?"
"nope, i hear it too" Phil & eric said simultaneously.
Jack turned back to face the two, trying to pinpoint the place it was
coming from, but the echo made it virtually impossible, he turned
here & there, taking a few steps each way.
"Jack! watch..." Phil began, but was cut off by jack going flying to
the floor, and someone else lying on top of him. Jack looked up
"Amber? what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Where are you you frelling smeg head!" Amber called out to the
blackness around her. The dark shape grabbed her from behind (in the
real world it was of course Dante helping her up)
"Get off me you sadistic bastard! Get of me Phil!" She yelled, the
dark shape revealing it's self to be Evil Phil.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
John walked forwards whistling a merry tune. Shadows flickerd on the
roof and corners, it slitherd like a snake.
"Im sorry, but try again. Grow up in Neo-Stroud and slithering,
snarling space creatures are the least of your worries"
The shadows subsided and huddled togetherto one side. John gave them
a critical look and tutted.
"I blame the parents..." he quipped.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"get off me!" amber continued, trying to force her way out of Dante's
grip.
"Amber!" Dante shouted,
"snap out of it!" he called, but she wasn't having any of it. Jack
got himself up, and moved to try and help, but a flailing leg caught
him in the nether regions, and sent him sprawling back to the floor.
"Get out of my head! Get your stupid device out of my head! I know it
was you who put it there, back on Plebe. I hate this anger in me.
It's killing me!" She said to 'Evil Phil.' The phantom Phil laughed
mercilessly and spoke to her.
"It will devour you from the inside out. It will eat your soul and
make you kill everything and everyone you love." The phantom waved a
hand and an image appeared infront of her. John Keats lay on the
ground bleeding from many wounds.
"John! Oh gods what did I do?!" She wailed, believing herself to have
killed him.
"oh, i didn't know you cared" Jack said to Amber, as he slowly
regained his ability to talk, the pain subsiding slowly.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Youl have to pull something serious out of the bag to give me the
runs!" John shouted, walking forwards casually.
The shadows broke and the room caught on fire, flames exploded
infront of him. He could see himself, not two meters infront writhing
in pain, the flesh burning and falling from his skin..
"Now thats stupid… I know im not on fire, so just give up"
The fire dyed down, and his body popped out of existence. The room
went quiet.
"Ok then guys, whats next? Seriously… Space Pirates, Evil robotic
Hypothpaladasthings? Phil finding out I married Amber when drunk?"
"You did what?!" Phil looked straight at him, eye twitching.
"Oh, how scary, its Phil…Boo!"
He leant forward and flicked Phils ear.
"Look, you don't scare me, though, its a good representation of him..
with the smell and everything"
Phil twitched.
"Ahahha!!! you cant beat me ship!"
"John..." Jack moaned, from the floor, Amber was sat over him,
looking shocked as she saw Keats walk in do his normal blundering.
"Hey Jack, your here to eh? So, what are you gonna be doing here to
make me scared"
Jack just stared at him.
"Oh.. oh……."
John froze. He felt certain parts of him pack up and move north for
winter as he realised that he definitely wasn't hallucinating.
Amber gasped as the hallucination faded away and she realised she was
holding Jack. Techniclly her Uncle, in a way that would not look good
in court. She dropped him like a hot brick and lept up beside John,
slapping him around the back of the head for making such a stupid
error.
"Now look what you've done!"
Jack looked up to them
"thanks, i'll get myself up shall i?" he said, getting up slowly,
groaning in pain.
John stood there, petrified to the spot. His mind swam like Lava.
"Ummm.. ehh... oh... uhh... Oh i ahh, Im Hallucinating, ohh, the
ships forcing me to say things.. ahhha... im not here, your imagining
me... i meant a different Amber... oh god..."
The Shadows winked at him, it appeared they didnt need to interfere
with this subject, he was quite able to put himself in the cesspit
without any help.

Probably cool for good old Phil to go from here!
