Chapter II
WHAM WHAM… WHAM! The noise Sirhc had been waking up to for the past hour. The auto turrets on the ship had malfunctioned and were not firing at the moment. Lucky for the ship and everyone in side they were fairly small compared to the ship and only made loud banging noises. Sirhc cursed Mary for the jinx as it was preventing him from getting any sleep at the moment. After another bang Sirhc gave up and just grabbed his I headphones. After putting the ear buds in a touch hologram was projected in front of his face with the music options. He poked 'down fall of us all' by A day to remember. For some reason the black man loved old school rock. Better then the new techno- rock- screamo stuff everybody liked. Once the music began Sirhc couldn't hear anything. Thanks to the skull candy version of the I-headphones the banging noise from the big rocks from outside couldn't be heard or the knocking at the door.
Damian and Mary entered the room to see the sleeping Sirhc on the bed. Prepping himself before hand Damian walked over and grabbed Sirhc's shoulder to give him a good wake up shake. Reacting off of reflexes Sirhc grabbed the spare stun baton he kept under his pillow and swung it as he grabbed Damien's wrist with his free hand. Damian ducked under the Baton as he grabbed Sirhc's wrist with his free hand. After Sirhc was fully awake and saw it was only Damian he cursed as the two let go of each other and took the buds out of his ears.
"Damn man don't you knock," Sirhc asked, standing up to shack his brother's hand.
"We did," replied Mary as she stepped into the room.
"Ya, maybe if you didn't blast that music so loud you could have heard the door," Damian laughed as he sat down in the only chair in the room.
"Well maybe if someone didn't jinx the ship I wouldn't need them to block out the damn noise," retorted Sirhc not liking being the one on trial.
"Hey this is so not my fault," said Mary
Sirhc just waved his hand and sat down on his bed, As Mary sat down beside him.
"So from what I've herd will be there in about eight hours," said Damian as he drummed his fingers on Sirhc's desk.
"Great my shift starts in nine," sighed Sirhc as he looked at the clock on his lonely desk. "Ether way I'm guessing you didn't come over here just to sit in my room and do nothing… What you here for."
"Wanted to see if I could get that rematch in Z ball," Mary asked giving Sirhc an evil eye.
"Ha you still think you can beat me," laughed Sirhc leaning back over his bed.
"Not funny and yes I know I can beat you," said the girl standing up.
"Well explains her outfit," thought Sirhc looking at her basketball shorts, white shirt, and the ponytail. He then looked at Damian who just shrugged and looked at Mary.
"Sure why not, its not like I've got anything better to do," said Sirhc as he got up. "I'll see you guys at the court." Taking off his now wrinkled security shirt.
The two left Sirhc to change Mary bragging about how she was going to dominate Sirhc as they walked out the door. The man just laughed as he shook his head walking over to his closet to grab a pair of shorts and a muscle shirt. Once he finished changing his clothes Sirhc left his room walking towards the Z ball court, which was a floor under his in the crew deck. On his way there he bumped into his favorite doctor, who was limping down the hallway. It was the first time Sirhc had seen the doctor walk and noticed that the limp was in his missing leg.
"Sup doc what are you up to," asked the security guard as he got closer to the older man.
"Excuse Me," asked Nicholas.
"Oh um… what's new," rephrased Sirhc.
"Oh I'm doing good little tired I guess," answered the older man.
"I'm going down to the Z room to settle a score with a friend you should come with…unless you have something better to do that is."
"Oh… umm I…" stuttered Nicholas not really sure of what to say to the offer. "Um I guess I was just heading to my room… just for a little while," replied the gentleman.
"Cool," said Sirhc flashing a smile. "Ever played Z ball before."
"Umm I'm afraid not," replied Nicholas as he followed Sirhc down the hallway to the elevator.
"What how… well you seem to be a busy man so I understand," said Sirhc as he lead the way to the elevator.
"Yes, because of my job it does not allow much… free time," replied the doctor as he followed the guard.
"Well it's a good thing you ran into me," smiled Sirhc as the elevator doors closed. "You've probably heard this question a million times and hope you don't mind me asking but out of all of the possible occupations why doctor".
Nicholas smiled as this was not a simple answer and had been asked a lot. "Well simple and the only thing that comes to mind is I wanted to make a difference. You know something that helps people not hurt them."
"Seems like a good answer" said the guard as there elevator opened to there floor. After leaving the compartment and making there way to the Z ball court Mary was standing with her arms crossed in an annoyed stance and look on her face from being kept waiting.
"Sorry picked up a friend along the way," Said Sirhc as he entered the small locker room that lead to the court with Nicholas following after him wiping the glare from Mary's face and putting shock on Damian's. Sirhc just smiled and watched as Nicholas waved then looked at the three people.
"Mary, Dam this is Nicholas. Nicholas this is Mary from engineering and my bro Damian also security personal" said Sirhc.
"Nice to meet you" greeted the doctor as the engineer and guard smiled and shook his hand.
"Now Mary if you're ready that ass kicking shall be served," said Sirhc as he pushed the open button next to the door leading to the court. Mary quickly recovered and put on her game face saving her questions for later.
A room in the crew deck a man had just finished ironing his all white suit. At a good six-seven the Caucasus man put on his suit then slicked his black hair back as he looked in his mirror making sure everything was tight and in order. His blue eyes followed his hands as he swiped away a few wrinkles before leaving his room heading for the Bridge
As the man entered the Captains nest the staff in the room saluted then went back to their positions and continuing their jobs.
"Afternoon Mr. Hardy," Said the Captain from his chair, as he looked at the overseer then back to the planet in view part of it destroyed and floating in space.
"I take it from the quiet that the auto turrets are back online," Asked Mr. Hardy.
"Yes sir they are functional and it will be quiet for a moment longer," acknowledged the Captain as he knew in a few hours the ship will be working and the sweet quit would be gone for a long time to come.
"So what is the plan," Asked the Overseer.
"We are going to settle down where the Ishimura landed and continue what they started," replied the Captain, as he turned on his mike to the flight deck "Prepare the landing party."
"Yes sir," came a reply several seconds later from a speaker.
"So what did you say was your reason for overseeing our operation," asked the Captain
"Call me when we have arrived," said Mr. Hardy as he left the cabin leaving the Captain a little irritated.
"I really don't like that man," muttered the captain as he looked at the half destroyed planet.
