I think i have been the victim of the PEM. I posted this last night but i see it has since vanished. Anywho, enjoy!
Adam clicked off the communications with the Gryphon. “Staring Activate the Forum Jump and catch up with them.”
“Right,” Staring Clicked a few buttons and the Highwind zipped into space faster than light. “The Pirates are almost in range.”
“Good,” Adam prepared the ship for manual drive. He couldn’t allow the pirates to get back to the YWS galaxy. It’s bad enough trying to relocate people with the Spammian Empire attacking every planet in the galaxy but now we have to worry about our own people attacking us.
“Were right on top of them!”
“Skell, Target the ship with the turrets. All fighters prepare for launch.” Adam activated manual control. It allowed him to bypass all the computers safety protocols. He maneuvered the Highwind closer and closer to the Pirate vessel. The two ship’s shields collided, dropping both ships out of Forum Jump. “All fighters launch! Skell open fire!”
Six little fighters shot out of the hanger ay as the turrets unleashed a rain of energy onto the pirate ship. Laser cannons shot at the Highwind but her shields were to strong. The fighters sent a flurry of torpedoes into the side of the pirate vessel.
“Skell stop firing, All fighters can return to the ship.” Adam lined up the shot. Two beams of Omega Energy shot from the Highwind and destroyed the pirate’s engines. “A YWS police force ship will be by to arrest you shortly,” Adam said to the pirates. They might try to escape in some of the pods but they would never be able to get far enough away.
“That was easy,” said Skell. The best tactical officer around and he was on The Highwind In fact most of the crew were the best in their fields. Staring was an amazing Navigator. She could find a planet even if it wasn’t on the map.
“Plotting course for the TW home world,” said Staring. “Everyone is on board.” The elevator Doors opened with a whir from the gears and Mattster, Bubbles, and Bella came onto the bridge. Matt sat in one chair next to Adam and Bubbles in another. Bella took the Sensor controls.
“Sensors indicate a Pensword class vessel heading towards the pirates,” said Bella.
“Good.” Adam clicked a few buttons on his controls. “Where are Rick and Alice?”
“Checking the Armory,” said Matt.
“Ugh, Computer activate security protocol 256”
“Activated,” Said a cold clean female voice.
“Adam!” chimed Alice through the comm., “What the heck are ya doing!”
“Keeping you out of the Armory.”
“Oh fine!” the sound of her stomping feet echoed through the comm.
“Can’t take to many chances. They can blow up anything. On purpose or on accident.”
The Highwind sped through the gap between the two galaxies. It was odd not to the stars, but giant dust cloud. An infinite number of galaxies and only a portion of them could be seen.
“We’ll be entering the TW galaxy soon,” said Staring.
Adam yawned, “I’m going to catch a few hours of sleep. You guys can rest up too. Diplomatic missions can be long.” He went into the back were his room was. Everyone else had rooms on the lower decks. But the captain needed to be near the bridge at all times.
The Highwind sailed on into a new galaxy, the TW Galaxy.
