Kye's hand reached for the first aid kit but he pulled it back as he heard Spectre speaking over the intercomm. "Sorry," He told Yuki, "I'm better up there with him than I would be down here, as soon as I manage to clear the ship from damage, I will come back to offer whatever assistance I can. Besides, it's better to have a ship where they can live, instead of trying to get them to live, and losing the ship." After that statement he blinked and his eyes suddenly went blank. He then turned and walked off towards the gunning area of the ship as if guided by someone else. When he reached the gunning area he blinked again and he was suddenly himself again. He looked at Spectre sitting at one of the guns consoles and, without a word, he walked to one of the other consoles and quickly began presses buttons, before long he had the gun blasting away at the hostile ships.

"Don't post me with her." she shouted growing angry. How dare he even suggest such a thing. He was so in for an ear full now.
"Come on, I just want to take him apart." she whined, "It's not like what you do with the girls at starport." Seth paused for a moment, "Wait....I guess it would be." she shrugged it off.
"Anyway, I guess I'll go play with....I mean, repair the ship." she made faces at Chaos. Everyone who was on the bridge, save Seth, had the look of annoyance. You didn't have to be able to read their minds to know that they wanted Chaos to rip out her vocal cords or something.
"Actually, I think I'll assist the doc." she pondered, she could either play...repair the ship in the hanger or actually be helpful and go to the doctor. It was a very tough choice. "The ship will probably be there still, so, I guess I'll go do what some people call "the right thing" and go help doctor airhead."
She awaited him to say something. After all they were having a conversation and it wouldn't be cool if she just walked off. Seth was the type of girl who liked to talk and hear her own voice, however, she wasn't the type of girl to walk off in mid-converstation even if it was her doing all the conversation.

Gajaru paused looked annoyed and yelled over the intercom. "What the heck are you shooting at? Lucky Star took out the ship, the nekos are here, Starlight Falcon what's going on?"
"Temper, temper sweetheart" The ship replied.
"I'm not mad at you love just wondering what's going on" Gojaru clarified for the AI.
"Well honey it seems a few pirates have gotten involved, I would say the clients" Starlight Falcon said.
"That's not good, we have no business fighting pirates. Disable the weapons, keep the shield up and make a jump, we're out of here, keep it as smooth as possible" Gojaru said. He wasn't a pirate anymore but he wasn't going against them. Even if he had interfered and freed the nekos that was as far as it went.
"Right, no problem, here we go" The ship's AI has control over the entire structure, weapons system included of course. The fire ceased and the weaponry appeared not to respond after the deactivation. The shield stayed up the entire time though and the ship made a jump leaving the pirates behind.

Everything seemed to move in such quick motion that by the time Yuki thought she knew what was going on, she was most certain she had no idea. 'What was the point of having them paged for emergency purposes then?' Yuki wondered. She gave a sigh, doing everything she could but finding that in the grand scheme of things it really seemed to be nothing. The problem was not lack of experience, but lack of supplies. They had brought mroe than enough to last a mission of this length to treat crew. They had not planned to save so many people.
Meanwhile on the bridge in Chaos's slice of purgatory. He glanced to Seth as she finally paused and awaited confirmation on her orders. "Good idea, and make it quick Okami, I'm no help for medical reasons."
As the pirates entered the radar, and Spectre spoke over the comms system Chaos continued his furious typing. He had always wanted to use that weapon they picked up before their last job in their previous profession, sadly they never got the chance. As his fingers ran along the control panel, Gojaru gave orders.
Chaos paled and his his fists onto the keyboard as the ship deactivated the weaponry. His irritation sunk to his toes as he crossed his arms. "And I still don't get to play..."

"Aye, aye." Seth said and took off towards Yuki. Once she got to where the doctor and the injured nekos, her eyes grew wide. 'Raw meat....I can't stand raw meat.' she thought as she mentally shuddered.
She looked around for the doctor and to her surprise Yuki wasn't the bumbling airhead, she was like a completely different person. "Hey, doctor airhead." she said to get the woman's attention.
"Sorry, Seth but I don't have time to "throw around insults" and there are a lot of wounded. So, either help or get out of the way." Yuki said with her normal sweet tone and determination blazing in her eyes.
"That's why I'm here." Seth replied, "What do you need me to do?" she asked and not five seconds later Yuki had handed her a basic medical kit. "Help as many as you can as best as you can." she ordered in a not so ordering way. Seth nodded and went to the first wounded she saw.
"I'm Seth, here to help you." she said and opened the medical kit to get the bandaids. "Don't worry, just because you're a cat and I'm a wolf doesn't mean anything." she said happily, "So, tell me about yourself."
"SETH!" Yuki yelled, she didn't mind the talking but she was more concerned with the wounds then their lifes story. "Right, right. Sorry, doctor suger princess." she half apologized not taking her eyes off of the task at hand.
"This might sting." she warned as she poured some disenfect on the wound. The injured neko hissed in pain and flinched. "Sorry." Seth apologized, she didn't like seeing people in pain, unless of course the person was Chaos. With that one bandaged, she moved to the next.
(Snow gave me permission to use Yuki in this post. We live together, so I asked her and she said ok.)

"Chaos, cutie pie, are you upset?" Starlight Falcon asked. "Want me to track down some targets for you?" The ship was made to please her crew. "I'm sure Gojaru-love won't object if I ask nicely."
Feeling a bit neglected with Gojaru busy, Silvia perched herself in the back of Chaos's chair and looked curiously over his shoulder. Not that she fully understood what was going on being an eagle and all.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
'Focus... concentrate... don't get distracted...' Though Gojaru had his full attention in bandaging a neko Seth had an amazing ability to make her presence known. He looked at the okami for a split second and almost made a entangled mess out of the bandages. He caught himself and finished the job without major complications. "Glad you came out of hiding Seth"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Catzuki lied in her bed and stared at the ceiling. Cotton as asleep in his little basket. She wanted to see what was going on as she wasn't good at staying still unless she had good entertainment but at the same time she didn't feel like doing much. It seemed her fiery temper was gone at least for the time being. She was curious about how things were going with the recently rescued nekos but she knew that if she showed up they would most likely blame their current condition and every other unpleasant situation in their past present and future on her very existence and that would make the athmosphere even more difficult.

Chaos gave a small pout as his hand reached back to stroke Silvia's feathers. "I'm fine love. Just no use in situations that require a medical staff." His hand absently brushed Silvia as he thought about the ship's offer. "No, we needn't find any more targets, trouble is naturally attracted to Gojaru. Soon enough, we'll be too busy to do anything but battle. Thank you though."
It wasn't much a of a problem that he couldn't fight people. He couldn't get the blasted thing to work when he had gone to the lower mechanic levels, and it still wasn't responding properly from the bridge. Thoughts turned in his head, perhaps he was overlooking some small detail.
"Hey." an idea hit Chaos, "Tell me, darlin'," he started speaking to the ship almost in a complete Gojaru manner. "The CS027, is there a cockpit or something for it?"
The CS027, the Crimson Slash, was a weapon they had "aquired" in the days of their piracy. Although, to be honest, Chaos had no idea how the blasted thing worked since they never had the chance to test it out. It was interactive, requiring the blood of it's user and a strong mind to over come some hidden insanity it was said to cause. There was a pod like palce to enter into it, much like the cockpit of those mobile Miliraty suits.
"I was just thinking there was that thing down in the Okami den, that seemed to be detached from everything.." Chaos paused in his petting, "Maybe that has something to do with it."
-------- Yuki normally would have giggled at Gojaru, but with so many injured she was beginning to feel the stress of the situation. "Captain, can I speak to you privately?"
She was glad to have Seth helping out too. She made a mental note to return the favor.

"Well let's see... Yes there is such a place, take a look" The ship displayed the cockpit on the screen using one of the many high resolution micro-cameras that allowed the AI to keep watch on everything that happened in her in addition to the sensors. "Maybe there's something loose somewhere because I don't quite completely feel it. Check the connections love and you might find it. Also I don't think I can use this one on my own so you might have to go into that cockpit to use it."
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
"Sure I'd love to!" Gojaru replied, he hastily finished tying sticking a band aid on his latest patient who now sported the mummy look then rushed over to the doctor. "I'm ready Yuki-chan, how does watching a movie and having dinner sound? Then a romantic walk on the beach after watching the sunset together. Or maybe you feel like playing a game of space hokey, some target practice then a nice big banquet to recover out energy?" He made it sound like she had asked for a date and as much as being Gojaru he totally would go out in the middle of a mission but Yuki want to take care of the mission and follow up on the patients conditions first. Still he wanted to lighten the mood and remind the doctor he was available.

Chaos scanned the area the AI put up for him. He groaned, "I was just down there." He gave ti a second and third look, "But I think you're right. It doesn't respond even from teh control panel down there."
He gave a nod, "That shouldn't be hard.." he gave it a few thoughts, while he didn't show it, he was excited. "If we can get it hooked up, you can give me the synopsis of it while I'm in the cockpit right?"
---- Yuki gave Gokaru a tired giggle. "Dinner would be nice, but Captain," she only used Captain when she was being very serious. She Pulled Gojaru aside, "We're running out of supplies, quite a few of the paitents need more medical treatment than I can give them. At this rate, if we're attacked and we come across any more injuries, or anything more serious." She shook her head glancing sympathetically at the gathered Neko. "We may lose more than we save." She gave a small sigh before ingaling a deep breath and exhaling slowly, "Even when we manage to get everyone treated, we're out of supplies."
It was not something she liked to say, since they had only just started.

Kye cursed as the gun stopped functioning. He got up, realising that they had been disabled, and he blinked, becoming a shell again, and let his body be guided to where Catzuki and the wounded Neko's were. He blinked again once he reached them and he became himself again. He bent over and picked up a medkit and proceeded to bandage a wounded Neko's arm, which had several cuts on it, without saying a word to anyone else. No need for idle chat... He thought to himself.

"Certainly love, I'm sure I'll be able to see things more clearly if it's completely plugged it" Startlight Falcon said.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
"Really?" She had said yes, that was a good thing but he was soon reminded that they were still on a mission and still handling an emergency. "Then we'll have to restock as soon as possible not to mention take the nekos to a safe place. It won't be good for them to come along in the entire mission. Starlight..."
"I hear you honey, you know I'm always listening, well as long as I'm activated anyway. Let's see... We're a bit far from the main Hyper Quantum station after the jumps but there's a substation identified as belonging to Hyper Quantum near by. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes to get there if I speed up, the only problem is it might have been invaded"
"Invaded?" Gojaru asked. It seemed that the complications of the mission were endless.
"Yes, I'm only detecting energy lifeforms there and due to their lack of physical matter they are usually not employed by Hyper Quantum, or anyone for that matter since their energy form tend to interfere with certain equipment that hasn't been properly prepared. It's hard to say how many there are from this distance thought and there might be a few beings there who are not just energy, the other's could be interfering with the detection from this distance. But there's another place to go for supplies, it'll just be a little more expensive. There is a space hospital and emergency center on an asteroid field south of the sub station. The asteroids are stable with bridges and structures to connect them and keep them from colliding, their reputation is pretty good too and they are know for their neutrality treating whatever patients arrive. They also sell medical supplies but it will be more expensive then Hyper Quantum since we won't get any discounts. It will take about twenty minutes to get there. The other option is to make a jump back to the main headquarters. Reports tell me they is a traffic jam there however. Apparently there's a commotion around headquarters but the system won't send me the details."
"Hyper Quantum can handle itself, I don't like it when it's surrounded by ships like that most of them are from the media aren't they?" Gojaru asked.
"You're right love" Starlight Falcon conformed.
"It's probably something about a big case or someone famous being rescued. That will take a long time with all the press there. I guess our fastest source of supplied would be the hospital even if it is pricier, our client did give us permission to do the rescue so no problem. Let's head there, drop off the patients and restock on supplies. Then we'll see what we do about that sub station..."
"I'll do some research on the situation and see if I can obtain information from the near by satellites, they might be able to detect things in more detail at close range, alright honey?"
"Yeah, that's a good idea" Gojaru breathed deeply. He had a feeling that somehow the situation at the sub-station and the press invasion of the main headquarters were related to the case in one way or another, he just didn't know how. It all looked like a coincidence but he couldn't rid himself of the feeling that it was all related. "Is the plan alright with you Yuki-chan?"

Chaos gave a nod as he stood. Since Goharu hadn't given him specific orders, he figured he could do almost anything. And from the sounds of it there would be another battle soon. He gave a sigh, thinking he should inform Miss Nekish. She had been awfully quiet. Chaos gupled almost kicking himself with his decision. However, if they were going to survive this mission at all, she should probably be kept up to speed.
He retrieved the data fromt ehship for which room Catzuki was staying he. He then stroked Silvia's feathers one last time. "I'm going to see Miss Nekish, you should probably stay here." Chaos had been present for the whole Cotton vs. Silvia vs. Catzuki it ended in Gojaru losing an arm. Chaos paused at how he jumped to that dramatic conclusion. He shook his head and headed to Miss Nekish.
He knocked on the door, "Miss Nekish." he called, "We're getting ready to head to a hospital, so that the...rescuees can be given proper treatment." He didn't think he'd need to tell her about the HQ sub-station.
---- "You're the captain!" Yuki replied in a state of shock, noting that Kye had come back in, but since she was talking to Gojaru she could not greet or welcome him. "If you think the plan is for the best, then it is." She gave a smile, she was quite pleased with Gokaru's choice. It was far better to take them to the hospital then risk the ipossible battle invasion frlom the sub-station.
With that, she turned, "Back to work, Captain. I want to make the hospital's job easier." Which of course meant no more chatting or in Gojaru's case flirting. Yuki would do what she could.
She passed by Kye, and gave him a smile, "Welcome back Mr. Vacewind."

Silvia almost squealed at the mention of the felines name. As much as she wanted to catch that mouse it was not worth risking her feathers. She really didn't like Catzuki.
"Good then leave them there" She sounded sour speaking in the same tone as one would say throw them in the nearest asteroid[i/]. She paused then decided to say farewell to the rescuees. If they were to stay at the hospital then it wasn't her problem if they were a bit freaked out when they were left there. for all she knew those who considered her a jinx really deserved to fear bad luck. "I'll go take a look after we're close to the hospital, actually I'll wait until we land and they're off to ship" A certain mischief could be perceived in her tone, she was a contradiction sometimes. She didn't like being treated as a jinx but occasionally giving people a scare was nice. It was the short quiet time and her plans for mischief that stopped her from snapping again for no good reason though her tone wasn't exactly friendly.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
"Yes of course but your opinion counts too Yuki-chan. Right, then I'll get back to work too, Starlight, let us know when we arrive" Gojaru went off to continue with the first aid. He had gotten a lot more practice than he expected and the mission was just starting.
"Gotcha, love I'll let you know"

"Don't you ever give it a rest?" Chaos queried. "You're bitter, short-tempered and now you're locking yourself in your room because you can't deal." He paused crossing his arms, knowing that black nekos were a jinx was common knowledge amongst most. It's also common knowledge that pirates are highly superstitious. "If you'd like to join the ranks of humanity, maybe you shoud get over yourself, Princess." Chaos better than anyone knew the sound of mischief in someone's voice. In fact, he probably knew trouble better than a lot of people. He was walking right into it as he spoke. He gave her amoment to plan his death or let hte words sink in, "If you don't mind, I have a request of you."
---
Yuki gave a nod, but was more absorbed in her work than anything. By now, the Neko had warmedup to her and her staff as they realized that they were there to help. "There you go." Yuki said to one little girl. Yuki moved onto the next paitent, but now had a shadow. The little girl had made Yuki her hero and would follow her endlessly. Sadly, the little one couldn't speak.

"I'm not here because I can't deal I'm here because they can't deal with me and I don't want to deal with their whining. Of course after we're at the hospital it'll be their problem. I'm paying you so why do you care how you're treated?" The question may sound strange to most but it was something that she didn't quite get. Though she gave people a hard time when she was in the hunting business she didn't really care what they called her as long as she was paying, of course no one would lay a finger on her and escape without serious injuries but words were something else. She gave him a questioning look that seemed to say 'this better be important'. "What do you need me for?"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Gojaru noticed that his first aid kit was just about empty but most of the patients were nearly taken care of, just enough for one more that wasn't hurt too badly. He glanced at Yuki for a second and noticed a little girl following her, he also saw how the nekos had warmed up to them especially the doctor and even if they still had plenty of things to deal with in the near future the atmosphere felt a little more relaxed.

Chaos smirked at her reply. "So you're in here because people think badly of you?" He chuckled. "Because you're a "jinx" right?" he then asked, "Superstition is thick among all travelers, pirates and the ingnorant esepcially. I don't believe in luck." He leaned against the door frame, "There are only two things that matter, what you can do and what you can't do." His generally solemn gaze lightened, "For instance, I can't go to jail; so instead I became a vampire. I can't be within a light year of a plasma weapon, however I can't honor that due to my job. I can, however, make it look like it never happened." He hated going to HQ or large star ports and being searched for weapons, but due to his past, they always did.
The fact of her paying them surfaced, he was sure it would. "Why do I care? Well, I don't particularly." He added, "In fact I could care less how you treat me. I'm a hired hand to make your dreams of finding your fiance true." Chaos gave a shrug, "The fact of the matter is, I believe it will be easier on you to not push the crew to the point of killing you. And trust me, some of us would be so brash as to shove you out of the air lock." He turned, "Truth be told, Princess, I would sooner dry your veins. What good is it going to do you to make enemies of an entire crew?" He motioned for her to follow, "As I see it, you need us to do this job, whether you like to admit that or not, I don't care. You acting rashly and harshly is not going to help your Fiance." Chaos paused again, "That aside, you wouldn't deal with this behavior from us in your home, in retrospect, on our ship, we shouldn't have to deal with it from you. Money and power are not reasons to degrade or push someone around. "
Chaos typed in an access code, now thinking on what he needed her for. "There's a weapon here that might help us. However, I need someone to come with me in case of malfunction. And you're the only one not pulling their weight on the ship."

"Not because they think badly of me but because I don't want to hear their whining but I fully intend to come out when their whining becomes someone else's problem. The crew would have to put up with them too you know and besides you're here too, why are you here?" She glared at his next statement. "I'd like to see you try as for pushing the crew around I hired you to do what I say!" Catzuki was extremely loud and if the walls were not made to block out the sound she might have been heard all over the ship.
"Goodness what a temper, I admire your spirit miss Nekish" Came Starlight Falcon's unexpected comment.
"WHO ASKED YOU?"
"That was well above a normal volume of voice for a neko" The ship's AI sounded amused. "Miss Nekish is cool I hope she can come visit even after the mission is over don't you agree Chaos love?" It was hard to tell if she was teasing, serious or both.
Catzuki glared at no one in particular since she was in the ship so the ship was everywhere around. "Fine I'll look at the weapon, just because I want to see not that I have to do anything since that's your job."
"Catzuki, can I call you Catzuki? I was wondering" the ship started.
"Then wonder quietly" the neko gave a high pitch annoying hiss.
"Honey you don't know what you're missing, suit yourself then, let me know if you change your mind."
"Ships that talk are so annoying... More importantly are you sure you want to trust me in case of malfunction?" Her eyes seemed to glow with mischief...

"You hate people whining." Chaos commented, "That's hypocritcal. All you do is whine."
He stepped onto the lift to the lower decks pulling Catzuki onto it with him. "I'm here because it's a far better choice than jail. I would think even you would know piracy is frowned upon."
His attention diverted to the ship, "You must be a sadist." As soon as the lift reached its destination Chaos stepped off, then turned to look at his employer. "No Miss Nekish, we were hired to rescue your fiance. There is a difference."
He looked at the Crimson Slash control panel. "Of course I don't trust a wench like you." he then said, "But like I said, you're the only one not doing anything on the ship. Unless you count whining," Chaos added. "So if you could just shut up and do something for someone else for once. This might actually work out."

"Yeah, well no one's paying me to hear them whine" Catzuki argued.
"I'm not a sadist, sweet heart. I just have a sense of humor. I wasn't programmed to be cranky. When I was being programmed and tested I still have it in my memory storage that Gojaru said 'make her fun flirty and not moody I don't want her getting PMSy' so you see I just want programmed to get moody"
Catzuki remained silent for a moment it was an eerie silence and if looks could kill Chaos would have died a million times already. She noticed a lose wire and plug it in and adjusted a few things.
"Oh that's it! I found the cockpit, I think there's one more lose wire somewhere but I can open it now" The cockpit's door opened vertically reveling just enough space for a person to fit. No sooner had it been said and done Catzuki shoved Chaos into the cockpit and jumped on in to make it close. "That wasn't very nice!"
"Shut up!" Pushing the cockpit door she stretch just enough to kick a plug out.
"Sorry Chaos love but she disconnected the door, I can't open for you" Starlight Falcon said.

He had to admit, he didn't entirely see that one coming. "You are by far worse than any pirate or merc I have ever worked with before. You would be top league, girl." He said to Catzuki. "Looks like pretty kitty throws a fit when people stand up to her." Chaos sat in the cockpit his arms crossed. He commented more to the shop than to Catzuki.
But at least he was in the cockpit. He ran his fingers along one of the control panels only to jolt from a small shock, on inspecting his finger he noticed a cut. He raised his eyebrow in curiosty. "Hmm." he mumbled. "Well, Star-darlin' what can you tell me about this? Snce Miss Nekosh has made it clear she cares for no one."
