"Tadashi! Yo Tadashi!" An excited young voice exclaimed. "Sato chill what is it?" Tadashi asked turning to face his younger brother. The Ito brothers facing the Galaxy together for as long as Tadashi could remember their family had been trading in scrap and salvage for generation's. Traveling the Alpha and Beta quadrants in search of valuable tech , scrap and anything that they could sell off for latinum or any currency used by various species.
"I just got a whole two bars of Gold pressed latinum from Grog! Two bars! For that rusted out old Klingon ship disruptor!" He was excited and for good reasons. "That's great Sato...when did we have a Klingon starship disruptor and when were you gonna tell me about it?" Tadashi asked. "Oh I found it in that mass of debris we went through last week. I wanted to surprise you since I know we didn't find alot of useful scrap but it was out there! And now we made some good money!" Sato continued as he opened a bag to reveal the two golden bars inside.
"Well let's get going. The others are already on the ship we got word from a trader who passed through the Daros sector there was a derelict shuttle of some sort. I want to check it out shuttles go for several strips if it isn't to beat up". Patting his brother on the back he ushered them through the crowded halls of traders and merchants all looking to make a living out in this endless universe.
"YOU THERE HUMAN STOP RIGHT THERE!" came the bellowing voice of a rather tall and very intemidating Klingon man.
"Yep time to go!" Tadashi said as he shoved Sato forward
"I SAID STOP PATAK! THAT DISRUPTOR WAS NOT YOURS! RETURN IT!" The Klingon yelled as Tadashi began to run and dragging Sato with him. "You didn't tell me it was STOLEN!" Tadashi hissed as they navigated the dark corridors. "I didn't know either it was scrap we claimed it fair and square under salvage laws!". Sato cried out. "Well I don't think he cares about legal arguments let's go !"
The two managed to make it through the crowded halls and to the airlocks and their waiting ship. Once aboard Tadashi dropped the bags he was carrying. "Vanessa power up the impulse engines. Xavier get the warpdrive going and Thrall...grab that disruptor rifle we may have a uninvited guest"
"Who'd you piss off this time Tadashi?" Vanessa asked in a soft chuckle as she worked the helm.
"More like who did Sato piss off apparently he sold a starship disruptor that belonged to some Klingon" he grumbled taking a seat next to Vanessa
"Niiice good job Sato I love pissing off Klingons to their fun in a brawl" Thrall grinned shouldering his rifle
Vanessa she was the best pilot Tadashi had ever met. Human like him and Sato she had served in Starfleet for a few years before leaving Tadashi had met her in ds9 in Quarks and after a long conversation about her skills he made her the offer to join up and Thrall was an Andorian who had a love for fighting but a even bigger love for Tadashi the two had been childhood friends Thralls father having worked closely with Tadashi father. That friendship over the years had developed into something a bit more then Tadashi expected Thrall was always by his side and a mean fighter he was glad to have him not to mention he was fine as hell in bed.
Then there was Xavier man was one hell of a mechanic and the only one Tadashi trusted to keep their ship going The Hayashi was a old Antares class cargo ship that had been In Tadashis family for a long time. He loved the odd boxy looking ship but it was sometimes hard to keep her running as parts from that era didn't come around very often especially since she was a ex Starfleet ship
"We've departed and are heading out... Tadashi looks like we got a Klingon bird of pray following us" Vanessa said
"Son of a bi...Xavier how's the warpdrive coming?" Tadashi asked. "Ready to go but we ain't outrunning a BoP at warp 6. And we certainly ain't outfightint her with type 5 phasers either and we lost that one torpedo we had when Thrall traded it for that hologram you two fuc.." Xavier earned a slap from Thrall "shut up and get us going! Hey Tadashi beam me over there I'll end our problem real fast " Thrall grinned.
"No I'm not sending my boyfriend out to fight Klingons.. ...no Vanessa swing us around the outpost and get us towards that nebula. We just gotta out think them "
Rolling her eyes she did as asked the nebula showing up on the view screen. "Their charging weapons!" Sato called out. "Thrall raise our shields tell the outpost I got a bar of latinum for anyone who wants to deal with these assholes" Tadashi said.
"Shields up and hiring mercenaries when you have me I'm offended."
"If you two are done we're entering the nebula. Sensors going down I'm blind" Vanessa said. "Exactly which means they are to. Keep going Vanessa if we keep on our heading we should exit out on the underside of the gas giant in this sector if we ain't lost them we can dive into its atmosphere. BoPs don't do well on gas Giants " Tadashi said
"Yeah and neither do old ass Starfleet ships either dumbass our hull will be crushed just by the top layers!" Xavier yelled "BoPs are far more durable then we are!" He added. "Yeah but their impulse engines won't handle the pressure of the atmosphere ours will. "
After almost thirty minutes of silence and hide and seek. Tadashi and his crew watched as the view screen cleared up to open space and the gas giant to their left.
"Any signs of the Klingons?" He asked "their either still lost in the nebula or they've exited and are cloaked which means we are fucked" Xavier commented. "But sensors show nothing so far"
"Set course for Etal. There's a small federation starbase there I'm hoping the Klingons wont try to start a fight there." He said
"Course laid in let's go!" Vanessa said pushing forward a lever and watching the stars streak ahead.
