[IC] Adventures of Space Pirates (crew 2 rp)

[The Fated Fallen]

The galaxy is a big place. Star upon star with the occasional speck of a planet to fill the void. Everything else is filled with danger, whether local pirates or any number of dangers in space, and you will not be missed
Pirates like you wait for the oppertunity every day. A massive raid, perhaps. Or maybe taking someone important hostage. To you pirates, prestige, money and power is all that matters, and will propel you into the history books
But today you are on the opposite side of the wall...
2 weeks ago a distress call was recieved from a ship near the Veridium Cluster.

Since pirates are so common, this is hardly out of the ordinairy, except for the fact this wasn't just any ship. It was the X.D.S* Pierced Thoughts. The sector's royal family's flagship.

No other information is known, no ransoms have been heard and nobody has found the ship... yet.
The favour of a Royal Family can go a long way in the universe, in power or gold. Many now flood the sector in hopes their wishes will be fullfilled.

Swindlers and Swashbucklers. Crusaders and Courtesans. Police and Pirates. Ladies and Gentlemen, the race is on...

*Xadriana Dynasty's ship

Captain Cornellius calls the ship into land on Feleros (the home planet of the royal family), where you are promptly greeted by security. It seems they came to greet you personally.

A young officer stands before you, flanked by two grizzled mercenaries. The officer stands as only an officer can, back straight and eyes front. It would appear as if he is just as thrilled to work with Pirates as you are to work with security.

He clears his throat and states, "I am Sergeant Major Heren, I'm here to brief you," he almost spits the words at you, his distaste palpable. "If you have any questions please ask them."

"Systems check. Again." The AI known as Sif ran the system check of the ship in less than a second. She wanted to make sure that the ship was still in a good condition for the crew when they got back. "Everything checks out. Again." She says to herself. "Maybe I should... Woah, what's this?" Sif ran a quick status check and simulation of the engines and propellants, running over one hundred thousand simulations within two seconds. Her hologram appeared in the engine room, her face having a frown on it. One of the thrusters was having a minor problem, the thruster not responding within one second during twenty seven of the simulations. That needed to be corrected.

Sif inserted herself directly into the electronics and ran a check. They were the problem, so she quickly fixed it with a script that would direct more energy to firing that one specific thruster, meaning that the signal would travel faster. Another hundred simulations, and she found it was working.
"Now, lets see what the others are up to, shall we?" Sif begins to run a hacking script, quickly stripping away security code and firewalls before entering the CCTV network of the metropolis. She moved a camera so she could see the crew as well as hear the conversation via the microphone in the camera.

Orion was finishing the docking procedures at a snails pace, much to the annoyance of several officers down below. They kept trying to reach her through the communications link. The best part had to be that they assumed it wasn't working and were now loosing their cool, they just kept yelling and yelling about 'those damn pirates' and having to stoop so low as to ask them for help. It was quiet amusing actually and she decided not to interrupt their rants as she finally finished docking the ship. They were still screaming as she exited the main bridge. Stopping just outside the door she unarmed herself, she didn't trust this security force but she wasn't about to give them a reason to trust her even less than they already did. In a final act of preparation she fixed a smile on to her face, albeit forced looking but at least she was trying.

The door of the ship opened and Orion descended to take her place next to the captain. "Sorry I'm late, docking the ship takes time." She whispered, knowing full well that the Captain would see right through it. She never took her more that three minuets to land a ship unless she was trying to stall, which had happened more than once.
