"No it wasn't." Chaos replied to Gojaru's concern about Yuki. "She'll be fine, Captain." he then said, "We've more important things to worry about." Continuing his typing, he cursed quite loudly over the comm system. "Where's the okami?" he queried visibly angry to another crew member.
"Busy sir." came the man's reply.
An exasperated sigh left Chaos with raised eyebrow. "Not to put a damper on the mood, boss. But if you're going to do something; do it now." After a moment he continued, "It's getting to the point, I might have to go out there."
Yuki sat quietly. She felt useless. She gave a sob and headed back to her appropriate station. No sense in bothering anyone.

Kye continued to stare out the window at the slowly disipating explosions and he sighed. "Geez... if I knew it was going to take them this long to pick me up I would have just stayed in my ship." He said exasperatedly. Just then the pod shook a little as the mechanisms from the ship grasped it and began to pull him in. After a few shakes the pod was pulled into the ship and he stood and steadied himself, his arms at his side. Time to make my appearance... He thought to himself as the pod door hissed and began to open. I just hope that there is someone to greet me...

"Are you sure? alright then" Gojaru looked thoughtful. The only devices he could think of that could them out out of the situation were not entirely legal. "Ok... why not start with this" The ship opened up an exit and thousand of ships rushed out of it.
"Oh please that only works on cowards. They won't run away, they'll know right away those are not ships but only high definition holograms" Catzuki said.
"Just trying out th legal options first, don't freak out. Hey babe" Gojaru spoke to the ship.
"Yes Go-san?" The Starlight Falcon replied.
"Lucky coincidence?" Gojaru asked.
"All conditions ready for the lucky star" the ship replied while putting some distance between itself and the slave ship. The enemy fighters soon filled that gap closing the space between their main ship and the Starlight Falcon as expected. The Starlight Falcon moved back slowly shooting a few minor laser weapons automatically aimed at their targets.
"Good... keep chasing us... Make it a small one love and closer to us than the slave ship. Looks like our guest is inside, engage shields" Gajaru pressed a few buttons finishing the authorization sequence to activate the 'lucky star' something was was too lucky to be just a coincidence.
"Lucky star is on it's way but it's pricey" The Starlight Falcon said.
"No problem we can afford it right? Let it go" Gojaru said. Secret device for use to support pirate ships, bounty hunters and the such were found all over the galaxy in well hidden places. This one's use was to push a small star or meteorite out of orbit sending it flying like a comet. The ship requesting it would gain control of its when it was close enough and how lucky it would be if a shooting star would happen to pass by at the time when it was needed the most and eliminate the majority of the enemy ships in its path. "Most of the shock but the slave ship will still shake a bit, we need to beam up whoever is left in there and isn't our enemy as soon as possible."
"Flashy" Was Catzuki's only comment about Gojaru's chosen way to attack.
"Hey girl thingy cat, welcome our guest will ya?" A deadly glare and a stop on the foot warned Gojaru not to call her girl thingy cat. Leaving the captain cursing and hopping on one foot Catzuki went to see the one who had just been brought in.

Kye stepped out into the ship and looked around. He noticed there was no one around and his hand immediately went to his hip to the holstered laser pistol. His instincts told him it was a trap and that this was not a good place to be. His eyes continued to scan the halls around him and his finger twitched on the latch on the holster, releasing the switch so he could easily pull the pistol out of the holster. Just as he released the latch he saw a half woman half cat, that he identified as a Neko, walk around the corner. He watched her carefully, his hand holding the butt of his pistol steadily. As the Neko walked closer he called, "Who are you?" to her and waited for her response.

"Some manners, what ever happened to thank you for saving my life?" Catzuki hissed. "My name is Catzuki Nekish and currently I have hired the services of this ship Starlight Falcon and its crew. I guess you could say I'm the boss around here since the captain is an idiot"
Gojaru had been listening to the conversation from the main control room. "I heard that" His voice was transmitted all over the Starlight Falcon.
"I know you did and I have no problems with that" Catzuki replied. Ever since her beloved Hakimo was taken away she had been in a bad mood taking it out on every unfortunate living creature who dared to cross her path.
A few squeaks were heard from the mouse riding on Catzuki's head. "This is Cotton, I hope you like animals because there are a lot around here"
Gojaru got the feeling that when she said animals she wasn't just referring to Cotton and Silvia but he decided not to start an argument and try to look more or less professional. "I'll pretend there was no hidden message in that last statement miss Nekish." He paused and addressed their newest guest. "Welcome to the Starlight Falcon, please come up to the control room."
"C'mon Mr. Overconfident wants up up there" Catzuki said. She had researched the Starlight Falcon, quite a special ship it was. If the ship's high tech sensors detected peculiar changes in the brain waves of it's crew the cameras would automatically activate even if they had been set not to and the AI would take over to make sure the crew was still in charge. If a hacking was attempted the security system would activate. It made hijacking the ship extremely difficult but it also made the captain somewhat overconfident which he already was.

Yuki arrived a minute after Catzuki. Only to recognize instantly that Kye was not human and therefore did not need medical attention. Her elven ears twitched, hearing everything Catzuki had said. Why couldn't she just get along with the captain? What annoyed her the most was Catzuki calling her Gojaru-san an idiot. If her eyes could have shot daggers, Yuki would have stabbed Miss Nekish a thousand times or more.
"Over confident perhaps." Yuki mumbled, "But at least he's not mean."

Catzuki replied with a golden glare and threw her head back in indifference. Cotton squeaked at the sudden movement but didn't fall off. She picked up the mouse from her head and held him in her hands petting him gently. Catzuki was being mean indeed but she didn't care. All that occupied her mind was finding Hakimo but she knew what he would say if he was there. "That was a mean thing to say, you should try yo be nicer to the captain and crew, ok pretty-kitty?" then in a sugar sweet voice she would smile and reply "Ok Haki-love!" Except Hakimo wasn't there.
"Yuki-chan, don't let her bother you" Gojaru said over the communication system. He waited for them to arrive at the control room while keeping an eye on the situation. He could see the star approaching. Silvia seemed interested in watching the star. "You like light shows don't you?" Gojaru petted the eagle and waited for the star to fly by. Everything was in place to absove the shock wave and shield the ship.

Kye sighed in relief as he was welcomed by a non-violent crew and he re-holstered his pistol, letting his hands relax at his sides. "Sorry... I am not used to going onto random ships without knowledge of who is already onboard..." His eyes scanned the Neko named Catzuki and then the person dubbed 'yuki-chan' who walked up behind her. After he finished his sentence there was a quick exchange of words between the two females and the captain, who's name he presumed was Gojaru. Once the exchanges were over, he said, "By the way, my name is Kye Vacewind. I am a freelancer... I guess you could say. I make a living off of my skills with blasters, and the piloting of star ships. If I can be of any service here, I would be happy to help... until I can find a way to get back to the agency I am currently employed by so I can get a new frigate... It's a shame I had to lose my ship the way I did... I guess I could have lasted the fight if I hadn't used it's doomsday device... but, I lost my patience." He shrugged slightly, the first time he had shown any emotion at all since entering this ship.
Although he had physically relaxed, he was still alert and waiting. If one watched closely enough, they would see a slight rigidness to his stance, but that is only if the person could see extremely small things different in his stance from that of a normal relaxed person. As a result of his alertness, he was also going to keep his emotions in check.. until he knew he was safe anyway.

"Some real talent would be nice on this mission" Catzuki said.
Of course Gojaru clearly heard her and concluded that she was purposely trying to annoy him. He decided it was best not to reply to that and tried to let out his stress looking at the explosions of enemy ships as the shooting they had called for passed by taking out the majority of them. "Now to take out the last few" The wasn't too hard and the crew of the Startlight Falcon easily defeated the few enemies that were left.
"Gojaru honey, we better hurry up and get the people we're trying to rescue out of the main ship. It is highly unstable as a result of the shock wave from the passing star, his shield isn't as good as mine" The ship's AI alerted them.
"Right lets beam them up and how do you know that ship is a he?" Gojaru asked.
"It's a he I can tell. A handsome ship too but not half as handsome as you" Starlight Falco replied.
"I'm happy you think so cutie" Gojaru, overconfident and slightly distracted as he was had left the communication system on and everyone could hear him flirting with the ship. The hostages were beamed aboard. "Miss Nekish please welcome our new guests as well"
"What am I the welcoming crew?"
"They're nekos too so you should-"
"Shut up! Nekos hate me most" Refusing to continue the conversation Catzuki retreated to her room on the ship.

Kye couldn't help but shake his head. The corner of his mouth curved up wards a little at the remarks he heard over the sound system between Gojaru and the ship, but the up wards curve disappeared quickly. If someone watching had blinked they would have missed it.
Catzuki rushed off after being told to welcome the Neko's and Kye stood there, watching her hurry off. After she disappeared around a corner he scratched his head and then started to walk away from the entrance to the ship that he had entered from, and he started to explore the seemingly endless corridors of the ship. He continued to wind his way around the ship, until he finally reached an area that he presumed was the crew's quarters. He walked up to the different rooms and raised his left index finger toward the crack in the door. An almost invisible line came a short distance out of his finger and allowed him to look into the different rooms. He inspected the rooms with the small camera installed in his finger until he found a room he considered would be empty and then he entered and sat down on the bed and looked at the wall. As he sat there he remembered the events of the day, and sat there, staring at the wall remembering the events of the day.

"Great, now she snapped..." Gojaru paused as coming to a realization, Catzuki said nekos hated her most... of course, a neko with black hair and golden eyes. She must have been treated as a jinx since she was little which would explain way she was so defensive she came off as mean. "I'm going to give her time to cool off but I have a feeling she might hide until the prisoners have been dropped off at Headquarters." He made sure the communication system was still active and sent the message all over the ship. "Yuki-chan, the nekos from the ship had been beamed in, please give them medical attention if needed."
"It seems we already had our first adventure" the Starlight Falcon said. "and it's only the beginning."
"You're right, I'm pretty sure this will be a long journey" Gojaru replied, he then sent a message to Chaos making sure that no one else, especially Catzuki, heard it. "Chaos, I'm going to check on our new guests then go see how Miss Hissy Fit is doing. If you don't hear from me again you know who's to blame for there being one less bishounen in this universe."

"Aye Aye Captain" came Yuki and Choas reply in unicen. Chaos returned to the bridge, he was sure there was supposed to be someone new on board. With Gojaru busy, he wouldn't ask. He'd have to look for him later and see where he would fit into the crew.
Yuki headed to the neko, a sharp stabbing in her heart as her eyes encountered everyone. She gulped hard, almost unable to stand. She hated to see people like that. Her mind drifted to Kye, maybe she should have asked him to stick around. Oh but he may not have had medical training. "Captain," Yuki called, "I'm going to need help!" Even with her medical staff. "Can you send Mr. Spectre or Mr. Vacewind to help me?"

"Gotcha!" Gojaru retrieved a small communicator from his pocket and and contacted the ship's Ai to forwards the message all over the ship.
"Can't stay away from me for a second can you honey?" The Starlight Falcon's feminine voice came.
"You know I can't" Gojaru replied, which was a bit odd because she was the ship so he had been in her the entire time. "Sweetie, I need to broadcast this message all over the ship, ok?"
"Anything love" The blinking light indicated the ship had gotten everything ready.'
"We have a medical emergency and require the assistance of Mr. Spectre and Mr. Vacewind and yeah this is your captain speaking to get up over asap" He finished with 'asap' as a word rather than reading the individual letters. He didn't want to keep Yuki waiting and the nekos certainly couldn't wait.

"I hope they get here soon." Yuki thought, her words being much more verbal than she had meant. Between the crying children, angry men and terrified women, there was only so much she could do, and she and her staff could just not move quick enough to give peace of mind. Theycould only tend to wounds so fast and it seemed like it was a losing battle.

"Everything will work out Yuki-chan, you're the greatest doctor ever" Gojaru tried to assure her.
Catzuki was locked in her room wondering how everything was going. It was probably wise to stay there as seeing a 'jynx' in the ship could send the nekos into an even bigger panic. Her very existence was a bad thing or so she had been told so many times. to make up for that she would have to hunt down those who had even bigger 'differences' than her, those who were 'wrose' than her.

The temperature in that small cell was so hot it was hard to breath. This was nothing like the temperature Hakimo was used to from his snow covered home. Yet the way he way, selfless to a fault, he didn't seem to notice, he knew but didn't complain. Instead he hoped that his kidnapping wasn't too troublesome for his fiancé and father. 'Pretty-kitty' as he called her, had a temper and it seemed that Hakimo with his endless patience and apparent inability to get angry was the only one who could keep her calm.

"PLaying commander again, Chaos?" Seth asked nudging him in the arm. "That's just like you. Maybe one day the commander might let you play commander for real. Anyway, I finished with what I was working on. You can thank me later." she continued talking not giving him a chance to say anything. She looked around a little.
"Hey, where's doctor airhead?" she asked, she of course was talking about Yuki. "I thought she was a new accessory for you." she teased and laughed. "Anyway, anything I can do to help?"
Normally she wouldn't ask, but since it was chaotic around here, she figured she might as well help. She just hoped she got to do something fun. "Oh hey, I heard there was an android on the ship, is it true?" she had to know this.
"Man, Chaos you are quiet." she pointed out. It wasn't that he was quiet, it was because she kept talking and never let him say anything.

Kye sighed as he stood from the bed and he let his internal sensors lead him to where he was needed. When he reached his destination, he blinked and he was suddenly able to see again. He rounded the corner to see Yuki, the doctor, and a bunch of poorly treated Nekos sprawled infront of him. He cussed under his breath and walked up to Yuki quietly. "Need any help?" He said suddenly as he bent over her shoulder a little to see what she was doing.

Yuki gave Gojaru a quick nod. It was all she could do before moving on to the next person. Yuki glanced up to Kye for only a moment before finishing up the bandaging of a child's arm. "It's Kye Vacewind, right? I'm Yuki." she fished through one of her pockets for a moment, "We're running low on things on hand. I have to send one of the girls to go get things from the infirmary." She informed, although that was almost irrelevant to Kye. "What I need you for Mr. Vacewind, is about eight more hands." She stood, but never seemed to stop working, as she motioned for Kye to follow her as she spoke. She picked up a backpack, "This is our standard first aid kit, the more people we can treat the better." Handing it to Kye, she smiled tiredly, "The only problem is, we don't have enough supplies to properly treat all the injuries. So we have to make due."
Yuki jotted somethign down, she wasn't trying to be rude. As the words finished she looked back up at Kye, "Any questions before I assume you know first aid?"
----
Chaos stood almost dumfounded as Seth came up to him and started to jabber. How was he supposed to answer the questions if she didn't pause?
"No, Bite me." Chaos started. "Good for you, actually working, unlike you. Keep saying things like that and I'll have the Captain post her with you, Okami." he then said referring to Yuki being his new acessory. He turned, surprised by her asking if she could do anything to help. "We have a ship in the hangar that needs repaired, as well as Doctor Airhead needing assistance." He almost thought she could be a good person until he heard her ask about an andriod.
"So it would seem." He replied with a shaking head. "I believe he's with the Doc, right now. Those were his last orders. If you run into him Okami." Chaos sternly said, "Leave him alone."
Chaos sat quietly at his station for a moment, and he could tell Seth had no intention of leaving him alone. Especially since he had just told her to leave an andriod alone. He oculd feel the earful coming along. "At least make yourself useful."

It seemed that the work was endless and being short on supplies wasn't good but Gojaru never imagined that this many people would need rescuing as the mission was originally to save one. Chaos was unable to assist due to certain special circumstances and for those same reasons it was best for him to stay away from the injured nekos. Catzuki being considered a jynx would probably scare them so in retrospect Gojaru realized it was not good to send her to welcome them and it was a good thing that she had gone into hiding in her room. He had sent Silvia back to the control room as the current situation was no place for pets. He wasn't exceptionally skilled in first aid and it took a lot of concentration to do a decent job but at least he knew the basics. After finishing the first aid treatment on one of the relatively less severely injured nekos Gojaru looked around for another patient that he would be capable of treating even if he wasn't a doctor. He noticed a group of terrified nekos in the back that appeared to be in worse conditions then the others. His guess was that they had been imprisoned for far longer then most of the other then later where put in the same transport. Even if they're appearance was generally less healthy their injuries were less severe possibly from being used to healing without the necessary medical attention, it was a cruel thing to witness. Even if the injuries themselves weren't as bad in comparison, they appeared very frightened and defensive. "Yuki-chan is our helper ready? Kye, right? Maybe you can give me a hand over here." He has a sinking feeling those nekos wouldn't like medical attention, he had a feeling they were just used to distrusting people even if those people were clearly trying to help. Keeping them calm would be vital and besides, he really didn't want to get scratched by a neko twice in the same day.

Spectre, through all the ejections, long soliloquies, and random distractions, kept firing as if his life depended on it. "Stay focused people! Why am I the only one still shooting? We still have to take out their fighter, and we still have to put together a boarding party! Stop lollygagging." Spectre pull the straps tighter around himself, as the gun began to rumble with each shot. Perhaps he was pushing the cannons too hard. A quick look the the temperature gauge relinquished this thought. It had nothing to do with the temperature. Captain Gojaru's amazing ship was actually increasing the velocity of the shots fired with each volley. "What the..." He said as the next shot came out of the tube, taking enough force into the pirate fighter to blow it to pieces, and rip the ship flying in close formation next to it in half.
"They're down to a quarter strength, and we haven't taken a scratch! Thank god for you ship Captain." Spectre said, never forgetting once that the whole intercomm system could hear what he said. "I wanna know how that boarding party is coming! What kind of weapons do we have, guns, sword, metal pipes? I need details captain!" Spectre said.
Spectre checked the radar screen. 128 figters remained. "Tell that new guy to get up here ina gunner seat, and cover the falcon while we board. Besides Gojaru, you might get lonely." He swung the gun around again, this time facing away from the slave ship, and into the vastness of space. There was a serene hope that maybe his son was on the ship, and that maybe the death note had been fake. Maybe he had not really been killed. But Spectre wasn't allowed to think that. Not now. The hurt was not allowed to come back, because when Spectre lost control, the whole galaxy would. The ghost powers he posessed were way beyond his control, and in the ten years he had posessed them, he still yet yet to perfectly master a single technique.
But that wouldn't deter him. He was part of a crew again, and he had to act like it. Don't be weak, don't get distracted. Stay focused and always know what to do.
