Cpt.Kenneth: well, theres a section of the engines wher there are moving parts, but thats energy, not propulsion. it explodes antimatter in minute amounts. the rest works similarly to an internal combustion engine from the early 1900s to the late 2000s in cars. but its separate from the reactor, so it shouldn't be hard to get to. *walks to engine rooms* ok generator room. OMGWTBBQ! since when did this happen? *stares at winding, very thin path created by the rest of the floor fallen down* im amazed theres even a path to walk on if that happened. *puts foot forward*
(the bridge collapses. so Kenneth walks to the side of the room and shuffles along the edge. trying not to fall into the reactor.) |

mvl:sensors indicate a lightning cascade in the medusa nebula.we could harness it and use it for power |

Alex: ya... you do that... *trying not to fall off the edge to* |
|
|
Cpt.Kenneth: MVL, we arent in the Medusa Nebula. and we have no way of harnessing it. *keeps shuffling* phew... im across. ok, Alex, just a few more metres. |

Alex: o...k- WOAH! *falls off* |
|
|
Cpt.Kenneth: ALEX! *grabs hand* ive got you! ggnnn... ah! *falls off, and is hanging on by his feet. he sees a ladder, and grabs it. he swings his other hand {holding Alex's hand} to the ladder* ALEX! GRAB THE LADDER! |

Alex: GAH! *grabs the ladder but the bottom peice of the ladder (the one hes holding) falls off and alex falls with it* AAAHHH *grabs onto the main colum witch carrys the power up through the center*
*the ladder peice hits the reactors at the bottom and they exsplode, setting off a chainraction of them exsloding and eventualy, the central colum*
Alex: AHHH! |
|
|
(Kenneth pushes Alex's hand onto the ladder, and he swings down to the ladder to get a better grip. they climb up, and out onto the platform.)
Cpt.Kenneth: ok, lets see... ok, its run out of anti-matter. the pump is over here... runs on the generator... but to get it started, a drone inserts an Alan key and turns it to put some ant-matter in... *frisks through pockets.*... aha! found it! *inserts, and twists it several times, starting the generator, starting the pump.* yay!
(the lights come on, and a humming starts. the Life Support unit is online.) |

alex: yay! *suddenly there is an exsplotion down at the reactors* oh... ya them reactors that exsploded could cause trouble... *the next reactor next to them exsplodes
Alex: *looking at the control panel* ship power 20% and rising... |
|
|
Cpt.Kenneth: woah! *falls over at jolt* huh? were... moving. come on, weve gotta get to the bridge! or we might crash into something. Alex, lets go! *picks up laptop.* ok, 63% on the reactor. *climbs across at the edge. though he uses the other side to before as he notices its slightly wider. |

Alex: ok ship power... *suddenly he looks up from his laptop and sees the central colum exsploding* O_O *a peice of burning debris comes flying towards the door*
Alex: *closes the door just in time and the debris smashes into it*... any reboot systems?... |
|
|
Cpt.Kenneth: Alex! come on! weve got to get to the bridge!
{5 minutes later}
ok Alex, hold that switch... the slowly lower that lever. *turns on Navicom, then activates Auxiliary engines.* hold tight, were going to jettison the reactor. this lever here also needs to be lowered, but it needs two keys. i have one, and the Navigator has the other... huh? *sees key on the Navicom.* he left them here? anyway, move, move! *inserts one key*
(Alex inserts the other. then he moves the lever down. a klaxon sounds, and red lights switch on. a countdown appears on an overhead screen, in red figures and a black background. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0.)
Cpt.Kenneth: what the?
Comms: sir, this is your navigator. im in the engines, by the locking clamps.
Cpt.Kenneth: are you stopping the reactor being jettisoned?
Comms: their about to explode, i dont want to let them all die. i just wanted to say goodbye. the linkage broke halfway. the clamps are primed, but they wont unlock. so i must do it manually. see you later.Ken.
Cpt.Kenneth: goodbye, Keith, goodbye.
Comms: disconnecting clamps... ... ... *static*
(the Reactor drops out the bottom, and after 10 seconds, explodes. the Arcane shoots forwards on a thermal wave, heading towards M-52. it begins to slow down, but Ken and Alex activate the Auxiliaries. the passengers stop screaming, but Ken and Alex are still yelling in excitement.) |

{the past 3 posts are set after the Arcane disaster, and Alex has been promoted to fill the gap of navigator. a few more people have been recruited to the crew.}
Cpt.Kenneth: Zanvardith, dont scare the rest of the crew. besides, Navigator is the second most important job on the ship. if you keep doing that sort of thing, he could fire you. *sips tea, and walks into passenger lounge.* excuse me, Mr.Lewis, but you apparently have a gun with you. as captain, i have the only gun allowed on board. if you need to keep it, you will have to give it to me. im sorry, but if that gun goes off, even accidentally, it may punch a hole through the hull. then we would have a problem. thankyou. *takes gun.* |

lewis:*takes it back*its not loaded its on safety and also it is a prototype for the army i cannot give it to you |
|
|
Cpt.Kenneth: Alex, shut off the engines. we have a situation here.
Comms: yes sir.
Cpt.Kenneth: im afraid, if you dont give it to me, you wont get to your destination. if you cooperate, you will get it back at the end of the trip untampered with. if not, you will be placed in a cell and have it forcibly removed from you. and if that happens, it will be destroyed in the reactor. please give me your weapon. |

lewis:men get out here *four strong guys come out of nowhere and form around the cpt*i cannot allow you to because it was an order from the generel of the army |
|
|
Cpt.Kenneth: *gets out comms unit* this is Captain Kenneth Stevens of the ARCS.Arcane to TASS.Endeavor. requesting immediate assistance, possible hijack situation, over. look, Mr.Lewis, its only for the trip. if you respect the fact that we dont want anyone hurt, then you will hand over your gun. when we reach the port, you will get your gun back. until then, its in your best interests. besides, we are in space. you try firing it, you get a hull breach. you cant take over the ship, because you dont know the encryption codes to the engines. and if you make the situation worse than it should be, we have one of our more heavily armed ships heading towards us, with almost everyone on board having a gun. oh, and one more thing. you know how strong humanoid dragons are? one through my navigator right across the bridge. and that very one is a member of my crew. security officer. Alex will have sent him here when i told him there was a situation. now, if you want to keep the gun, hand it over. if you want to be scratched, disemboweled, and chucked out an airlock, then keep persisting. im not forcing you to give it to me. its just that if you dont, Zanvardith probably wont show much mercy. your choice. |
