Cha 3

The rest of the day was very boring, nothing going on and everything was all in order. The only thing that was bugging Vomiel was what exactly the jobs of these new friends were. Klax was very vaige on the subject but she assumed she would find out quite soon considering how each time she went to the view port the sun in the solar system they were in was getting closer as well as an odd orange planet but the ship seemed to avoid it. She wandered around for a tiny bit, but she was close to losing her mind. Everyone was doing something and said they didn't need help, but she didn't feel like working on her projects just yet. She didn't have to wait long in order to find the crew, in fact they found her and almost ran into her. Klax stopped while the others continued to the airlock clad in armour. Wes was lightly armoured most likely as a precaution while Liera and Klax are stacked in heavy armour, Klax didn't look any different then when she first met him however.

"Ah, Vomiel good to see you, I need you to go get your pistol and a shield, we have spares in the armoury consisting of a riot shield and basic kinetic barriers." He runs off but not before stating another detail. "Just stand by the airlock and if you hear gun fire come through to the other side and cover us alright!"

Vomiel stands there for moment before running to the bunk room and gathering her shield she bought and her Arc pistol she brought along. She then went to the air lock and began to fiddle with her equipment quickly bringing them up and running. Her shields flickered to life just as she heard some yelling from the other side of the umbilical that ran between the ships. Vomiel carefully made it to the other end near the closed door, she listened closely but no sounds could be heard which quickly put her on edge.

Suddenly there was speratic gunfire and the door opened revealing the back of a Krogen, what she thought would be Klax, unfortunately the Krogen in question was not Klax and turned aiming a shotgun at Vomiel. Out of fear she lifted her arms in front of her face in a kind of measly protection. There was a bang and a *chunk*, she prepared for emense pain but it didn't come. Moving her arms she noticed that she was fine and the Krogen had a mass of holes in his armour and was bleeding from said holes. He fell to his knees groaning. Suddenly the real Klax came stomping through and found Vomiel sitting in the umbilical with a dying Krogen shaking and scared out of her wits. He kicked then shot the "Doppelganger" before picking up Vomiel and almost dragging her to the the Dragon's tooth. Once inside he sets her near the air lock and shakes her till she awoke from her stupor.

"Good you're awake, now stay here do you understand? I'll talk and check on you later." With that he goes back into the tube, and in a few moments returns with a hovering crate that he is pulling through with Wes and Liera covering from the rear. Vomiel slams her palm on the console above her finally getting some of her senses back. The umbilical slides back after the door shuts and locks. Klax runs to the bridge along with Wes while Liera brings the crate to storage.

Vomiel slowly rose and dragged herself over to the dinning area and sat at the table with her head in her hands. The ship jerked forward as it flew away from the failed negotiations or whatever the hell happened back there. "urgh, why did I freeze up?" her voice was soft, stressed, and on the verge of breaking. She laid her head on her folded arms which were on the table.
