@Crimson Lion@grandia20 @ShiyonichiWhen Rainer asked about Boomer, Abbygail visible tensed. It took a lot for her not to roll her eyes, as sometimes her sense of humor, just wasn't funny. It was a side effect of being in the marines, she was certain. There just wasn't a lot of funny people in the marines. At some point, they always found themselves with the humor squeezed out of them like fighting with someone who had eaten the smoothy-smoothy fruit. She'd had to work on it. If anything could ease her back into the normal life, and out the other side into a pirate's life it was humor. Either that, or mentally breaking which was also always a possibility.
"Yes." She smiled softly when their swordsman realized what was going on. "That's who I"m talking about." She nodded to the man as he turned around and headed down into the ship.
It didn't take long before Rainer reappeared, carrying a tied up marine and one of Janet's spears. He explained the situation as best he could before dropping the marine loudly on the deck. Not that much explaining was needed. It was clear to see that the marine, as unaware as the others, didn't think there were people on the ship. He bumped into Janet while she was walking around, and didn't have a chance. He was lucky though. The young woman at least had the sense to refrain from using her explosive power on the boat, and that was probably the only reason the young marine was still alive, and they weren't currently sinking.
She sighed, and put her hands on her small hips. "You could, if you'd like. I doubt he'll know anything. He's a grunt after all, and probably worried out of his mind." She thumbed the marine whom Red-Eyes had worked on. He probably knows less about what's going on than the rest of them.
She crossed her arms, and started tapping her foot angrily on the deck for a few moments before nodding to herself and turning her attention to her new partners in crime. "Okay. So here's what we're going to do."
Abbygail's eyes focused on Rainer. "I want you to go down and secure the engine. I don't know why the ship is being towed. We could've been captured, or the marines could honestly just be helping the captain to get to a port. There's something going on here that doesn't make sense, at least from where I'm standing. And since there's no way to know for sure what that is, without asking someone in the know, and as we've already taken out a couple of the marines, I doubt they'd be happy to tell us without arresting on sight, especially as they these guys didn't seem to know we were on board. So we're going to have to get out of here regardless of what the actual situation is, especially with Boomer over on the other ship, I'm assuming, causing god knows what kind of problems. So go down, secure the engine room and make sure its up to snuff."
She looked at Kyy. "As for you." She raised a finger at the man and gently jabbed him in the chest. "Do as quick and as thorough a search of the boat as you can. There's definately going to be more than just these two marines on here. My guess is we'll have at least three or four pulling guard duty, but that's only a mix between a gut feeling and what I'm hoping turns out to be the case. Once you've finished with that, take control of the wheel so we'll be able to get out as soon as we can."
"Also, guys." She said at the two men. "I know we're pirates and all, but if it's at all possible to take care of the men without killing them, please do. Most of them are just privates, and that means they're nothing more than idealistic pawns, which doesn't exactly mean they should die. NOw, that being said, I don't want either of you to give up your lives for one of them either."
With a frown Abbygail looked at the lovely swordswoman. "I mean, you could, if you'd like. It's kind of hard for me to tell such a pretty face no, but I doubt you'll get much. Plus, I could use your help over there." She thumbed her thumb at the marine ship in front of them. "To get Boomer, and disconnect the cable so we can get the hell out of dodge."
@Noodles"What in the world!" The marine stuttered, watching the ill dressed marine try to capture the thief. "Uh! This was just supposed to be a towing mission!"
A transponder snail appeared in his hands. "We've got an intruder!" He called into it. Then, his voice rang out from the speakers along the halls. "It looks like it's the thief that whose been hitting our other ships in the area."
The interior of the ship burst into panic as people began flooding out of their quarters. Most we're dressed. A few were getting dressed. The smallest numbers had forgotten to get dress at all, and we're going to wing it in their pajamas.
Before Janet could make a move, the young marine grabbed hold of her. "Come on. I've kind of called a false alarm already with that girl, and the CO is going to have my ass if he finds out I did it again. So you've got to come with me so we can tell him together what you saw." Without waiting for her to reply he began dragging her towards the captain's quarters
