Wow.. it truly is a small verse after all!
Word travels faster than jump drives in Sirius and yes its true.
A couple of renegade cruisers have been randomly attacking Junkers.
They've assaulted several ships working for us at Saltese recently.
Either both of them are seriously infected or they have just gone insane.
Worst part is the cruisers they are using have been identified as Corvo's.
James finishes his drink and ashes his cigar.
He looks back at Gypsie and says..
One more thing..
Look I don't plan on putting you in a compromising situation but as you know things can happen.
If something does happen that I need to be kept quiet.
Can I count on you to keep it confidential?
Gypsie nods his head in the affirmative.
He acknowledges the need for discretion and assures James he can be trusted.
Before he can finish talking tho a siren sounds and an emergency action message is heard.
PERIMETER BREACH UNIDENTIFIED WARSHIPS HAVE ENTERED PUERTO RICO!
Seconds later a loud sounding BOOM is heard as the station shakes.
Glasses and bottles from the bar and tables crash to the floor.
Another message comes over the intercom.
RED ALERT! RED ALERT!! STATION UNDER ATTACK!!! INITIATING BASE DEFENSES SHIELDS UP!!!!
Marcus moves quickly over to the table where James and Gypsie sit.
He says.. SIR! We must leave NOW!!
James smirks as he stands up and looking at Gypsie he says.. Well you asked for it!
C'mon Gyp follow us to the ship.
Looking to Marcus he says.. Alright bud lead us outta here!
The trio move quickly to the door and back into the bar.
Patrons are scrambling as the lights flicker with each blast to the station's shields.
Alycia sitting down behind the bar has a small cut on her head from a falling bottle.
James bends down to check on her. You ok babe?
Groggy she says.. Uhm.. ya honey I'll be alright.. justa cut.
Don't mind me I'm fine.. You gotta go and stop those bastards!!
Security personnel enters the pub and James signals for them to come over. Guys get her to medical now!
They rush to her side as James helps Alycia back to her feet.
Giving her a quick kiss on the cheek and a small wink he hands her over to the guards.
Marcus, James and Gypsie move fast and board the salvager JunkTown.
Entering the bridge James says.. Release docking locks and power up the engines!
As the ship begins its powering up procedure a call comes into the bridge from Captain Murphy aboard the Claymore.O'Gordon.
Sir! We 'eard da alarms an jus arriv'd 'ere frum Vieques.
Enemy ships sight'd an were engagin! Roger that Murphy fire at will!
James slides into his command seat and says.. Engage cloaking device!
Looking at Gypsie and pointing at the chair just behind him he says.. Have a seat and buckle up Gyp!
The docking bays open as the ship begins to move out of the station.
A large bright light emits over the entire hull of the ship as the cloak powers up.
James smiles over to Gypsie and says.. So you ever been on a ship with a cloaking device before?
