Project Disaster

[Buster Commodore]

Day 46, Hangar Main, The Nonsense Factory, Cassini system, 12:01 pm

" Alright boys, It's time to relish in the fruits of our labours. The Blood, Sweat, and Tears you have all put into
this project has finally brought it to fruition. THIS, is a new chapter, a new era for us as Rogues. with Pain and
Death we have forged this Machination of War that looms before you. We have given death wings. And made it
ready to fly. This is our time now, our moment to shine. We have evened the playing field against our
strongest of oponents. and we will show the great nation of Liberty, we are not a bunch of petty criminals. We
are, The Liberty Rogues."

Lord Moka's speech was breathtaking as he stood before the 500 remaining slaves and engineers
from Project Disaster. Buster stood at his side, taking in Moka's words. The man knew how to deliver a
message, that was for sure. Moka nodded to Buster to begin the demonstration for the now complete Mark VI
Engine. He had personally inspected the engine to make sure nothing was not as it should be. He pulled back
the glass casing over the Red Ignition button. with a shaky hand and sweat running from his brow, he pressed
the button.


Buster watched as the engine whirred to life, a strong pulsing purr of a sound entering his ears. the sound of
perfection. He had set the engine to 90% powercore just to be safe and slowly raised it to full capacity. the
sound grew stronger and louder and it took everything Buster had not to grin from ear to ear. "Set it to Cruise
Buster." Moka's words sounded like a low murmor over the drone of the engine. Buster motioned for the
Engineers to attach the stabilization chains to the Engine as he prepared to push it to Cruise. once all the
chains were in place, Buster sucked in a deep breath and moved the lever from Idle to Cruise. The engine
sucked in energy and he could hear the engine prepping itself. BOOM! the sound hit like a bomb going off in the
hangar and Buster watched as the Engine pushed forward, the chains struggling to hold it in place. Slaves
jumped out of the way to keep from getting incinerated. It worked. "SHUT IT DOWN." Lord Moka yelled over
the almost ear shattering sound. Buster lowered the lever and pushed the ignition button again to shut down
the engine. "My boy, I think you've done it..." Moka put his hand on Buster's shoulder with a smile. "Now put
the damn thing on my ship" He left Buster in the control room. It was over. Finally, it was over. and the Rogues
were about to have a fully operational Battleship. Buster finally let the grin break through on his face and
quickly regained composure. He turned back to the slaves. They were still disoriented from the effects of the
engine. " Alright ya Bastids. Get that thing mounted so I can go home."
