Chapter 2:The Escape
As his captain made an exit,Karl turned and headed in the opposite direction down the narrow corridor.As he walked,he kicked doors open and yelled into the rooms beyond them.
"Rise and shine Wilson! Wake up Peter! Kuro,get to your station! Molly,at your post! Gina,get over to-god,woman;put on some clothes! Jim?Peter,where's Jim?...In Gina's room?...Jim Falrek,get out here now!"
Karl continued to the bridge,where he looked at the particular man on watch,sleeping in front of him.The only non-human member of the crew,Talma was a male Ctarl-Ctarl with silver hair gleaming by the light of the navigation moniter.His vest was hanging on the back of his seat,and his name tag was on the floor underneath it. When Karl shook him awake,his ears twitched for a moment or two,then the glow of his red eyes was also added,thanks to the navigation monitor."Moring already?',Talma said,with a sleepy grimace crossing his face.Karl scowled at him and explained the situation rather harshly,then turned to the crew.All of them were in thier uniform..Or at least partially.One bald man with an artificial red eye,and a blue one was hastily pulling his pants on as he walked to the security post to sit next to Talma,who politely adjusted the 'Wilson Farnham' nametag on his vest from his seat.The only thing the asian man,whom had black hair parted in the middle,and deep black eyes,was missing was his nametag-wich read 'Kuro Takishiri'-,wich he pinned on,and his glasses,wich were sitting beside his moniter.A blonde girl with a plain hazel color to her eyes was,suprisingly,in full unform.Behind her,however,were two peole in quite the opposite fashion.A woman with shoulder-length brown hair,tied in a braid,who happened to be wearing nothing short of a thong,sunglasses,her white vest,and a smile,followed by an equally naked man,who was hastily donning his boxers,with blue hair and blue eyes with a slight tint of green,and a dragon tatoo along his hairless chest.These two slipped into the hatch to the left of the corridor,the man moving hastily,the woman moving slowly.
"Now that we're all here,",said Karl,with a tinge of annoyance in his voice,"I'd like to inform everyone that we're in danger of death and the station is about to implode,causing the ship to collapse on itself and a painful death for us all."He had gotten the exact reaction he expected.Whenever something dangerous happened,Kuro turned around and whispered about it to Molly-the blonde-and the man below,Peter,whined.Talma blinked once or twice,then reclined and tried to resume his sleep.Meanwhile....
Captain Redwing was running through the docking area,pushing through the wild crowd of people rushing to leave before the station imploded.He spotted an old man with shaved grey hair and green eyes,and snatched his collar as he passed."Ah..H-heey th-there Flint!",the elderly man yelped nervously,"I d-don't quite th-think that this is th-the time t-to discuss our little d-debt!"."Can it,Pharlan,and hand me your wallet!",Redwing yelled,shaking the old man."Ehehehe..Just a s-second,p-p-p-please?",the old man whined,his voice becoming shakier.He reached a shivering hand into his pocket and pulled out a rather fat wallet,wich Flint snatched from his hand,and pulled out all of the money.He then threw the man down with a smirk and turned back towards his ship,still walking patiently and purposefully.
As time passed,tension grew on the bridge,and the crew members became nervous.Peter began crying in the engineering deck below,comforted by Gina,who was still lacking in clothes.Talma's ears began twitching,and hu mumbled,"Captain's back...".Sure enough,only seconds later,Flint had walked casually onto the bridge,and began issueing orders."Talma,wake up! Molly,set a course for Heiphong,we have a delivery to make for Luo industries.".Already accustomed to space,no one seemed suprised when the port became empty and the airlocks opened.Kuro pulled his coffee thermos from the air and took a swallow from it,then clicked it closed again.Molly pulled her hair down and tucked it in the collar of her shirt.As soon as the port's airlocks were fully open,all of the ships raced for the nearest ones,many of them colliding with each other.Flint held his hand up after one collision that caused the two ships to fly off in seperate directions,smashing ships as they went along,and the ship suddenly lurched foward and the sound of the engine's whine filled the bridge.The ship's speed increased,and soon,the shjip sped out of the spaceport and towards Heiphong.Karl took his seat and filed through the communications channels for anything other than distress signals.About halfway through his sorting an alert screen appeared on his moniter.He pressed the corresponding button for that alert and the navigation moniter clicked and changed to the view of a Galaxy Force officer,who blared out so loudly that Talma fell out of his seat right beside the moniter."This is the galaxy force police ship Grand-Rain hailing the FMC Linerunner,stop your engines and release your cargo now!'
