His ribs cracked and stunned, Eddie merely lay flat, wheezing and groaning. "Damnit." Gabe muttered. He turned to the stairwell upstairs, "Minerva, if you can hear me, you gotta get the power back on!" He pointed his gun at the general location of the belly airlock and waited. A ...

Eddie takes both feet in the chest and its slammed hard into the deck. There's a very deep crack in his chest, and his eyes go wide. He manages to suck in enough air to keep his lungs from collapsing as Val gets off him and lies still, gasping like a fish out of water. Gabe stepped out from behind t...

[OOC: Val's initiative, for one, and if you're looking for an attack roll, I'd say Unarmed for dropping down on someone's arse. And a fifteen-foot fall is 1d8 damage on Val, but you gain a nice fat +5 damage bonus.]

Val's bullet whizzed past Eddie, who would have taken it full in the chest had he been standing. He glanced up at Val, starting to panic. "You call off your old dog, Gabe! Call him off!" Eddie cried. Attack: 16 Eddie fired back at Val, but the bullet imbedded itself in the steel gridwork o...

Jesse leap-frogged into her chair and started hitting controls. She went over the scanners, her eyes going wide. She grabbed the comm, "Cap, if you can hear me, we've got incoming, two vessels, uh, armed, they look like boarding craft." * * * Lincoln stood up, hearing the announcement over...

Eddie gawked at Miller's defiance. He looked at his gun, looked at Miller. Attack: 20 Damage: 10 The bullet caught Miller by surprise, first by the fact that Eddie had the balls to do it, and then by the pain it brought. Miller slumped to the deck. "Not very bright, for a doctor and all." ...

Eddie walked around the crate, following Miller as he walked for Medical. "You know, I don't really like your tone." Eddie said. As he walked, he reached behind him, drawing out his sixgun, "I'm thinkin', it's high time people who think they're better'n me start showin' proper respect...

Gabe scratched his jaw, watching Miller go. "Boy's got a bad ambition to be some kinda hero, but I've never seen a one didn't have a mountain of skulls behind him. I won't have it on my ship. We're a business, not some gorramn band of merry outlaws." He downed his water like it was a shot ...

Gabe leaned back in his seat, "Most people in their lives have a lot to be unhappy about, Miller. And for a man who lost his family and his whole life, you've got a funny way of grievin', all pantsless and all."

Eddie stuffed the last of his food into his mouth and stood, wiping his mouth, "Hey, this is cute and all, but I got some checklists to run over, check our cargo, that kinda thing. I'll see you folks later, all right?" Gabe nodded and waved Eddie off. Jesse leaned back, "I suppose I'l...

Jesse only heard part of Val's story. She watched Gabe turn back to his meal, casting his eyes over at Val intently. She knew when someone was trying hard not to address her in the slightest way. She'd never really shown too much interest in Gabe's past, but to get shot down like that in the asking....

Ox hunched lower, his instincts hadn't done him wrong yet. He edged closer to Kazi, eyes alert. Listen Check: 13 "I don't hear nothin'." Ox said. Kazi, your search of the growing fog seems to give you a hint of a shape moving left and right, but it's so fluidic within the chill air you can...

Everyone settled in for dinner in what would become their permanent seating arrangement; Gabe at the head of the table, his back to the kitchen, Val to his left, Jesse's empty seat to his right, Minerva beside Jesse, Lincoln beside Val, and two spots split at the end for Miller and Eddie. Eddie was ...

"All right then," Gabe said into the comm, "Make a check of all our systems, make sure nothin's out of place. Jesse, prep for full-burn. I wanna see Persephone out that window within eight hours." He stepped past Val and into the hallway. "Lincoln, you stupid meduza , that p...

(Pilot Check: 21) [OOC: w00t!] Jesse gripped the port jet VTOL controls. "Hold onto something." She yanked the controls to the side, and pulled back on the VTOL control. Redemption rolled violently to the left, cutting away from the right fork at the last moment, then, as it was still spi...

Redemption Move Check: 7 Gabe felt a clench in his gut. "I don't like any maneuvers start with "crazy," specially not on my brand spankin' gorramn ship..." "Sit down, captain!" Jesse said, grabbing the comm, "Minerva, are you there? I need you to readjust the pres...

Minerva Uncovered a Secret Upgrade! Redemption's Speed is now 1d12+6 [OOC: *Chuckle* Just had to be as cheesy as possible.] * * * Redemption Move Check: 16 [VAL: As Jesse is hustlin' Redemption left and right, you spot a possible escape - up ahead is a fork in the canyon. If Jesse could feint the P...

Redemption Move Check: 15 Lincoln watched Minerva crawl off. He made a face. "You're welcome." He said, and tried to pull himself out of hatch. After a few attempts, a worried expression started to come over him. * * * Gabe held up a finger, "Okay, first, that cannon was disguised , ...

(Ship Move Check: 13) Redemption swung hard to the left, just missing a hoodoo jutting from the edge of the canyon like a mushroom. "Gabe, what's the ruttin' idea?" Eddie's grumbling voice came from the comm, "I was on the crapper!" Gabe ignored him, "What's the gunboat's r...

"Saw him climbin' 'round outside," Ox said, "I'll get him." He returned to the doorway and stepped out into the cold air. It felt too cold for this part of the world, colder than even the high peaks of Stormwind. Ox didn't like it. A thick fog was beginning to form around the bui...

Ox took a sniff of the inn keeper's office and growled, "Smells like wasted meat in here." Ox isn't too far off, either. Your search uncovers a creaky board just below your feet, and you grab it and yank it open to reveal stairs leading into a cellar of some kind, it stinks like decaying f...

Gabe stood up and faced the forward view ports. "Put some wind under us, Jesse." "Aye." She started up the engines. (Pilot Check: 20) * * * The engines began to spin, slowly at first but then faster, coming alive. A heartbeat-like rhythm came from within, healthy and strong. * * ...

The next inn room was empty, even of a bed. It looked like it hadn't been touched in years.

Ox snorted, backing away from the cloud of dust. "Maybe we should find the inn keeper. We'd stand a better chance learnin' where those kids are, from what you're saying."

"The beginning... of freedom." Gabe said, seemingly to no one at all, "This is the first time in my life I've never had to be taking real orders from anyone. I can lie back in the waters, and drift where I will. Current'll carry me somewheres, but that's the way fate works, isn't it?&...
