Phayron messed with the array of controls in front of him. It was only once he'd assessed their damage and found they were not at risk of being sucked out of any holes or burning to death, he relaxed.
“Well it doesn’t look like we are going to have any more-” just then a read light began to flash, and a few screens before him flickered to life. “Oh shit.” He began to once again frantically press buttons and flipping switches. “B.B… I think you pissed off the wrong people…”
Phay cursed again. The strangers where charging weapons and advancing on them, and Phays ship only had a few painfully underpowered turbo laser turrets. They wouldn’t even scratch the paint of the other ship. Phay began to try and hail the approaching ship, hoping it would be a simple matter of swearing he had insurance. He started to broadcast a general announcement signal that would show that he wanted to talk, and prayed that these weren’t the shoot first and talk later kind of governmental types. He then looked around him. Something... or rather, someONE was missing.
"Damnit!"

Hearing the curse, B.B. grinned and leapt back into the room, hopped over the back of his seat at the control panel, and landed sitting down right in front of the com system.
"You're gonna love this!" He swore with a glint in his eye that denounced any innocent intentions. Once the radio obtained contact, his hand hovered over the button to send first contact. He grins mischievously at Phay, delighting in the frozen reprehension and outright confusion in his partner's features.
"We're on in five, four, three," and he mouths two and one before punching the button down.
"And to Captain Ariane of the Blue Horizons ship, who has served her home planet of Tierra faithfully for the past seventeen years, I leave... A boot to the head."
SHUNK!
Out of one of the missile silos, a large brown boot (probably size fourteen, human men's) shot out and floated to collide with a dull thud on the front of the government ship.
"Aaaannnnd oneforHarfeandthenavigator!"
SHUNK SHUNK!!... thud thud...
Just after that, B.B. cut communications and put on the boosters.
"Ok, let's get out of here Phay!"
Just in case they tried to make contact again, he pushed a button to start Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys and turned it up.

Ariana sat frozen to the spot as the ship before her started to move away from them. She was very confused....VERY confused...she tilted her head to the side before saying:
"...huh?"
Garhen had walked back into the room at the beginning of the transmission and was there throughout the 'boot bombardment.' He sighed deeply and sank into his chair while mumbling something about idiots.
Seglin laughed, finding the whole thing hilarious, and Garq was irritated. Harfe sat there with one hand on his head looking about as confused as Ariana did. Ariana tilted her head to the other side still utterly confused...only Garhen's words shook her out of it.
"Ariana...should we follow them?...Is it necessary?"
Ariana shook the last bit of confusion from her mind, and tore her eyes away from the viewport to answer.
"I-I...don't think so....but keep an eye on them until we leave the field..."
Garhen nodded and Harfe, having heard the exchange following a slap on the back of the head by Garq, began the task of exiting the asteroid field.

Phayron stared at B.B. His eyes wide and his jaw almost touching the floor. “Y-you…..you…you fired on a government ship?!?” he watched as his ‘friend’ flew his ship away at top speed after attacking a much bigger and much better armed government vessel.
Phay reached over and slammed the radio off because the song was getting on his nerves, and shook his head incredulously. He disengaged the engines and slowed their speed. “I can’t believe that you did that!” he looked back at the monitor that showed their rear view and was relieved to see that the government ship was a speck in the distance. Still, he wasn't completely pacified by the distance. “What if they come after us!? Or worse?!” He sunk low into his chair. Phay didn’t want any trouble with the law, although in the back of his mind, the part that wasn't worried about imprisonment, he was laughing at what had just happened.

BB shrugged his shoulders and hopped out of his chair.
"We'll be fine," he assured his companion. "They haven't made any active movements to trail us except to get out of the asteroid field themselves, so unless they can tell who I am just by hearing my voice over radio distortion, then we should be fine. It's not like your boots are deadly weapons or anything," he says.
He tosses some credits to Phay. "That's for the fuel I used up gettin' away from them... And why'd you cut the music off?" he asks. He brings down another screen and starts sifting through data.
"Might be a good idea to stock up next time we make port, anything in particular that you want?"

Ariana sat in the captian's chair some time later half asleep and wondering what the heck that was all about. As a member of the military forces she was used to discontent around her and her crew but that was a bit much in her opinion. Riots she could deal with, snubbing too, but a boot? She sighed at the thought and whoever shot it at her must be someone with alot of courage, cause what if they had been a combat ship? A prank could have turned pretty ugly....
"Cap? We just exited the asteriod field and have entered the Gamly Galaxy, whats our next step?"
Harfe's question knocked her back to the present and looking up at the view screen she saw two purplish planets side by side and a few different colored planets off a ways away in all directions, and she went thourgh her orders again.
"Our orders state that we are to explore each planet with in this galaxy that we can get to in the span of 3 months so I guess we will start with those Twins over there"
She stated pointing to the purplish planets directly in front of them, and off to her right Garhen cleared his throat and said,
"They are called the Lamishen Twins, Lamish 1 and Lamish 2 Captian."
Ariana nodded and turned back to the rest of the crew,
"Scan for life forms and the amount or lackthereof of oxygen, you know the usual Harfe, and Garq set a course when we are sure we can land, Seglin scan for any weapons stations or technology, and Garhen be prepared to ready the suits in the event of unbreathable atmosphere."
Everyone nodded and various forms of "Yes Ma'am" were sounded as each turned back to their tasks.
Ariana settled back in her seat and began to calm herself for the upcoming mission, the normal excitement of exploring somewhere new to her galaxy and being the first from there to see it returning quickly. Smiling to herself she nodded when Harfe said the atmosphere was breathable and that they could land at her command, and Seglin stating no weapons were being picked up on the scanners,
"Alright folks, set 'er down on Lamish 1 and lets get to work."

“………” Phay sat for a few minuets in silence taking in all that had just happened. He then sighed and floated out of his chair “check over are roster and see if we need anything badly…” he pushed him self towards the door “scan for any planets near buy that we can refuel, repair and re supply at” he then floated out of the cockpit and down the halls. He then moved to a control panel near by, and flicked on the inter com. “B.B. I am going to jettison are camo and then I am going to head back to the hanger…..just incase are new ‘friends’ decided to fallow us I want to be ready” the hint of frustration in his voice. He hit a few controls and after a few moments there where a few thumps heard and felt through the ship. The rock like exterior pop off of there ship and floated away revealing the real form beneath. The ship was slightly smaller looking with out the camo and had a boxy shape to it, it was a cargo ship that Phay had converted to carry him and his “toys”.

BB checks a few more things on another terminal.
"Only thing we need right now is fuel and-"
A small blinking light caught his attention and he frowned.
"Ah shit... Looks like one of our engines is trying to go out... Might be that we're just low on fuel, but I don't think we should chance it," he says. He pulls down a different screen and taps a quick sequence in. The screen zooms in on one of the blue planets, the one called Lamish 1. He turns and punches the button for the intercom.
"Hey Phay! Closest planet is Lamish 1, and before you gimme any of that crap about it not being a registered safe planet, it is. Just ain't registered. Big black market planet though, lot o' underground activity... Figuratively and literally," he says. He drops down into a seat and kicks his feet up on the next seat.
"Want me to go ahead and bring her down, or you wanna try and tough it through to another place?"

Arianna and the rest of the crew buckled up as Harfe announced they would be landing soon. She kept her eyes glued to the viewscreen. As they drifted down through the purple clouds she noticed that the land beneath them looked the same as any planet she was used to being on. The ground was green, trees brown and green and the waters blue. She shook her head smiling she should know better than to judge on appearances. After all that SHE had seen she would do well to kep an open mind.
"Captian, I'm going to start the landing cycle now,"
"Alright Harfe, keep us near the treeline I dont wanna get tangled near a swamp or something."
Arianna and her crew leaned back in their seats as Harfe lowered the landing gear and began the secondary descent. The rumble of the gears was the only sound to be heard on the bridge. Each caught up in thier own thoughts about the duties they would have to perform.
As the ship bumped lightly before setting down completely, Seglin shut her weapons system down as did Garq and the Harfe began the ships complete shut down procedures with the exception of auxillary power sources, like doors and the cabin lights.
Arianna sighed as she unbuckled herself and began to head toard the back of the ship once all post flight precedures had been followed. The rest of the crew followed behind her as they headed to the equipment room. As they loaded up on their examination equipment and recoding devices they each grabbed a side arm. They all knew from experience that going unarmed into the deepest part of an unexplored habit was NOT a good idea...
"Alright folks, here we go again..."

The sound of voices drifted and echoed differently as they moved through out the ship, signalling the end of docking and the movement of the crew away from the bridge. They had landed on their first new world, his first chance to see where his mother was. His heart beat in anticipation, not fast but enough that he could feel it thump against his thin rib cage.
A new planet meant a change of diet from the rats, not to mention the chance to get rid of the corpses. They had been an adequate source of nourishment so far, but if he had his way this pit stop would supply him with a more lasting energy supply. He slipped out of the damaged air duct, slinking along the ship to the exit port. The crew would pass by soon enough to exit and then he'd slip out behind them before it closed. If that failed he'd just have to hack it. He hid himself in a nearby room, leaving the door ajar just enough that he could see the exit port yet, hopefully, not be seen peeking. It would be hell to be caught after all the luck he'd had in escaping detection.

Phay turned over the info in his head and sighed aloud once more and then stabbed the com button. “No better take us down I don’t want to end up drifting in space….take it easy and try to find a good hiding spot I am heading to the back to get a suit ready”
He drifted away from the panel towards the rear of the ship witch housed the hanger. He flew in to the large room with parts strung every where and began to lock down the tools and crates. After that he when over to one of the walls where a large humanoid shaped vehicle stood locked into it’s resting/repair frame. He ran his had over its dull white and gray armor and the floated up to the ‘head’ of the unit witch housed the cameras and sensors, Phay starred directly into the large red mono-eye camera of the unit “its been a while hasn’t it…..well looks like we might need to go play again….”

"Roger that, brother!"
He set in some coordinates on the control panel, then punched in the comm button again.
"Brace yourself, we're gonna be matching gravity in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
A loud clunk echoed as the ship matched gravity with the planet, a tad bit lighter than normal. The ship zoomed down, easily breaking through the planets atmosphere, and finally touched down in a group of trees next to a large boulder.
"And we're good to go. Powering down and preparing to leave."
BB grins and stretches.
"You comin', or you just wanna polish your robot. Honostly, there's only so much you can repair on that thing dude."

Phay glared at the com system “just give me a fricking sec….” he checked a few systems on the suit and then hoped back down to the ground. As he landed he bent and straightend his knees and hoped a few times. It had been a while sense he had been in real gravity and it felt good, but he still loved being in space.
He looked back at the mech locked to the wall and stared at it for a few moments. Noises and images from the past started to flood his mind he shook his head to clear them away, he began to walk back towards the front of the ship he untied the top of his flight suit and put his arms through the sleeves and zip the front up half way. Before he made it all the way to the front he stopped by his cabin and grabbed his bandier/utility belt, pistol, knife and a heavy pack. He slung the pack over one shoulder and draped the belt combo over his other and he checked over his gun.
Phay walked into the cockpit as he was strapping on his belt combo. “Well I will let you lead the way here sense this is more along….you kinda lines” his tone telling that he wasn’t happy about dealing with black-markets and undergrounds

Ariana blinked as she stepped out into the daylight, the light seemed to filter through the clouds leaving the normal colored landscape in a purplish hue. She gasped slightly at the beauty around her as she reached the end of the ramp and stepped onto the ground for the first time. Each member of her team was also caught up in the beauty surrounding them, No other world they had been to so far had been as beautiful as this one was. As the silence lingered Ariana could hear the rush of water nearby and the scuttling of animals in the forest. As Seglin, Garq and Harfe worked to bring up the cloaking device her excitement was getting the better of her, she was soon eager to explore.
"Alrighty everyone, we'll start in the direction of that waterfall i can hear and go from there, everyone has their sample collecting kits right?"
Nods of agreement followed this statement along with patting of pockets just to make sure, It was the same old ritual they always went through at the beginning of every exploration. Garhen stepped up beside Ariana to add his little bit about safety in numbers and sticking close especially at nightfall, if this planet had one. Garq chirped in to say his portable nav equipment was functioning normally, and Seglin handed everyone extra power cells for their blasters. Harfe just smiled and said his little "Lets go get 'em!" thing that earned him the customary whack on the head from Ariana...seriously you'd think he would learn by now...
Then with Ariana at the lead and Garhen bringing up the rear they took off into the unknown wilderness

Lyndis dashed out of the door just as it was closing, though he hesitated after diving off the side of the ramp and gazing out at the planet. It had been years since he'd seen so much pristine greenery- the kind that grew naturally, that is. He had seen immaculately tended gardens before, their flowers standing like soldiers at attention from their regimented life style. This was different though. This was life; wild and pulsing around him. It was every thing he wanted, everything he was made to destroy.
If he wanted to appreciate this beauty, then he wouldn't touch it.
For now there was the more immediate concerns though: resupply. He'd done the best he could on the rats, but they were few and far between.
His ears perked up, hearing the sound of running water. Animals usually gathered around water, perhaps he'd find something there. He dashed off into the trees, silent as a ghost as he jumped from branch to branch, the only mark of his passing the occasional dead leaf that brushed against his face. Of course, things were going far too well. He'd already had enough close calls on this trip, and karma always was a bitch.
Lyndis had become so domesticated in his world of steel and glass, that he forgot how fragile living things became when he touched them. He didn't know that such things couldn't support even his light weight, but he found it out once he set his foot on it. The branch cracked and tore under his foot, sending him crashing to the forest floor with every other thing he hit along the way. He landed with the debris, hard. When he looked up to see where he had landed, he froze. He had fallen right freaking behind the people he'd been trying to avoid. There was no way they hadn't heard that, and his brain was too numb to think up an excuse right quick.
"Shit. . ." it seemed to sum everything up in one syllable.
