Jess sadly put down the bazooka. She hands the vodka round (don't wanna get dehydrated) and gives everyone a bag of peanuts (gotta keep your strength up). She heads for a fighter, and straps herself in. The ship launches from the docking bay, and she watches her computer as the first wave of CFs head towards her. 'Let's kick some ass!' She grins, and accelerates.

Autonav notices the numerous blips on his HUD. It starts wailing 'Incoming!' at him. He summons more ships, like S-21 Eclipses, more of the dreaded Demons, several S-7 Chimeras, some more ships, like a League Destroyer (which is better than a Cruiser for some reason) they all soon start blaring away at the Crescent Ships.

UEA heads for his ship "(huf puff pant pant) stupid me how much of an idiot can i be."he then teleports into his Capt.'s chair.

"Colonel, is every thing set for the bigest battle a UECruiser has ever been in?"

"yes sir. awaiting orders."

"disembark and cloak asap."

the engines humm as the vessel moves for the second time, as soon as it clears the bay of the Acid Trash it disapears.

"move in behind the third Proximan Battleship and arm all weapons."

the fire fight rages out in space as fighters drop like flies to the bargoers ships and neutron turrets of the Acid Trash.

"in position sir"

"decloak and fire all weapons on my mark. 3..........2..........1..........MARK!!!"

the UEC apears mear meters from the enemey vessel and fires it vast arsonal of rockets, hunters missiles, Pursuit missiles, phased beamers, and Blaze turrets.

the poor thing never had a chance, the Battleship explodes takeing everything within a 50 kilometer radius (including my ship) with it.

Insanity has its advantages

Mamajama is slowly getting used to her new body. The reflexes and muscle tone are not what she would wish. She doesn't quite trust herself in battle, yet, but has to do something. Beginning with the pitiful wretches who are her fellow patients in the makeshift medical bay of Gazza's ship, she begins to try and heal the captives. Some are too far gone, and may never recover. But, she has learned to psychically cleanse the Pyro from addicts bodies.
Then on to the computer.Gazza's staff, with some mistrust, allows her access. With a few keystrokes, mamajama has accessed her ship's control panel. First order of business: get the robo-drones to clean up the hideous mess she had left with the decoy body parts on her bridge. Secondly, to establish that the mission of killing the Hand of Joy had been accomplished, and to claim the reward. In honesty, Mamajama can't claim this for herself; Shade, Gazza, and Cap'n helped kill the arch-criminal.
Mamajama accesses Gazza's and Shade's comlinks to download the audiotape of the Hand of Joy's final minutes, both in HOJ's old decrepit body, and after she had "jumped" to Mamajama's old body. She then dispatches this to Stellar Corp and UE, hoping the Proxima Nebula won't interfere with the transmission. As an extra precaution, she uploads the information to a communications satellite orbiting the system. If UE and SC believe the incredible story of body-switching, voodoo, and energy beings, a $10 million credit reward from UE and $7 million from SC will go a long way to defray the costs of the expedition. Perhaps a few knicknacks can be bought to brighten up the Freeport Bar.

A horrid scratching at the porthole window diverts her attention from business. Outside, a huge, iridescent eye glares in. Apparently, there is no need to wait until she is fit for battle. The battle, in the persons of the Proximan aliens, has come to the docking bay, and she, with the other patients and nurses, must fight for their lives.

------------------
Imagination is more important than knowledge - Albert Einstein

Shade runs to the docking bay of the Acid Trash.
Quickly creating another Crystal Fighter, he morphs into it, and soars out of the bay.
The Yaxtl seem to be encroaching on Gazza's souped-up Destroyer, so he heads there to clean them off.
The Fighter flies past, strafing the Yaxtl attackships with it's Energy Pulses.
The Destroyer is rocked by the blasts, shuddering this way and that. Yet somehow the Destroyer is not destroyed, absorbing more and more damage but never going critical.
Rising into the Manifold-form again, Shade sees Mamajama's protective energy beings guarding the ship.
With that help, Shade knows that Mamajama must be aboard- the Destroyer will be fine.
He races off to attack a nearby Yaxtl Battlecruiser.
Yaxtl Ripper Blasts begin to fracture the Fighter's facets, draining it's power.
Shade fires back, the two ships exchanging a near-continuous storm of firepower.
The Battlecruiser is still alive and kicking when Shade impacts the hull, ripping through it.
Shade's fighter slashes through the entirety of the Battlecruiser from bridge to drives, causing massive atmosphere breaches and ultimately reactor failure.
The Battlecruiser erupts in a massive fireball, blasting every ship near it away.
For Shade's battered and fractured Crystal Fighter, it's the final straw, and the Fighter begins to waver as reality sets back in.
Tumbling on the blast wave, the Fighter becomes smoother, opaque, more colourful, and finally completes it's transformation to an ordainary Crescent Fighter.
In the cockpit, Shade watches in horror as his silvery hands gain shape and texture, turning a tanned skin-tone.
His Energy Blade shatters into a pile of shards on the deck.
Finally even his eyes cease to glow.
Shade is back where he began- an unaugumented human in a disabled ship, drifting from a vast battle

Gazza pulls the Acid Trash into a long gliding turn and barrels down ontoone of the Yaxtl battle curisers...
"I wish this thing..had the manoverablitly of my destroyer"...
When suddenly "BANG!!!!!"...>BOOOM"""!!!

"Guys!! I think we should each get to our shis this hunk of Cr*p is not going to take much more of this!" Shouts Payback

They each run to thier ships...
Gazza fires up the thrusters of the Devil's Kiss andRoars out into the battle.
As he checks the sensors he notices Shades ship starnded without propulsion right in the path of an approching Battle ship..
the Devil's Kiss Accelerates to full thrust while Gazza fires a burst of SAE moduals.
He then pulls his ship in a tight verticle divev cutting under the battle cruiser while suddenly pulling up ending up behind the slow moving battle ship.
Gazza then fires a full voley of Neautron Fire and the Battle Ship explodes in a shower of flame.
"Commander, engage tractor beams and bring that cresent fighter into teh docking bay" Gazza orders first officer
"yes Sir" He replies.

10 minuets later shade is resting comfortably in sick while being treated for 3rd deggree burns and a broken shoulder.
"How you survived these orrific injuries I will never no, ...you bone structure is unlike any human i have ever seen." Says the doctor
"trust me, Im not your average human bieng.: replies Shade.

Gazza walks down to greet shade."How are you, If you'd like to come up to the bridge i have some sallian brandy on ice and a spot for ou in my 1st officers chair, care to join me?"

"I'll be right there " Replies shade....

Gazza,
Jess is out in space kicking ass. I don't know where Payback is, probably still piloting the Acid Trash. The UE Admiral is probably in an escape pod, floating around in the battle zone after sacrificing his ship to blow up the Proximan Cruiser. Capn is probably with you? I am on your ship in sick bay, in my new body. My Cobra ship, the Mean Teacher, is still in the docking bay of the A.T.
Mamajama

Using Gazza's computer terminal again, Mamajama remotely accesses her own ships' controls.
She activates the autopilot program, and checks to see that the hatch is closed after being forced by the pirates.
She puts out a mayday call to any Freeport crew still on the Acid Trash:
"Get to the docking bay NOW! The ship is going to blow! If your ship's too damaged to fly, input this password - OMIGOD - at the ramp of the Mean Teacher, and it will fly you out of there!"
She has the autopilot position the Mean Teacher so that it can fly out at a moment's notice. As an afterthought, she keys in a sequence that will fry any Proximan aliens that touch her ship's hull.

Grundy is running along a hallway when he hears a boom and the blast doors in front of him that lead to the hanger close. Grundy can hear air seaping out of the hallway into space. The blast doors behind him also shut. He looks through a veiwport to see that the hanger is loosing air. There is a huge gap between where Grundy was and where the hanger was. Acting quickly, Grundy opens the front door and tosses a wrench at the door in front of hims controls. The door slams shut and Grundy is able to throw his kcat in just before it closes. Grundy is suckked out into space and hit very hard by a huge piece of metal...

Autonav's battalion of mismatched fighters are seemingly very effective against the Yaxtl ships. Almost all of them have grapple guns, which they use to angle Proximan fighters. They then unleash a barrage of missiles and lasers. The many capitol ships simply wave the deadly beam weapons around (carefully, to avoid bargoers) to slice various lumps of ionized metal off the Yaxtl warships.

Grundy, are you wearing a space suit or some kind of force field thingy? If not, rescuing you would be more of a corpse recovery.

mamajama, I'm sure Grundy knows what he's doing. After all, he wrote it.
Gazza, slight problem in your post. All my powers failed taking down that Yaxtl Battlecruiser- now I am an ordainary human being.

Shade thanks Gazza for the position in his 1st officer's chair, but declines the Saalian Brandy.
"I didn't drink when I was an ex- High Gadzair host, and I won't start now I'm an ordainary human being." he says. "But would you happen to have a Tomato Juice somewhere on board?"
An Ensign runs off to find a Tomato Juice for Shade.
"I'm pretty sure mamajama is on your ship. Did you know that?" Shade tells Gazza.
"But you cut her head off!" Gazza exclaims, confused.
"I dunno, she must have jumped to a new body or something. But before I destroyed that Battlecruiser, I saw her pet energy beings hanging around."
"Well, let's find her!" Gazza replies, and sends an Ensign in search of mamajama.

Grundy's lungs were about to burst when he found that the piece of metal that hit him was a teleporter. Without setting a real destination, he activated it. He dissapeared. One last message was sent...
"Take care of the kcat... its in the docking bay."

My bad. I'm having fun with these webstories, but I must still have a "newbie coat", whatever that is. I don't know what the rules are, other than the general posting guidelines

So...Grundy teleported somewhere, apparently.

Mamajama, receiving Grundy's last message (she's still avidly following the comlinks from her berth in the sickbay on Gazza's ship) activates a robo drone from her own ship, still docked in the battered bay of the Acid Trash. The robo drone finds Grundy's kcat, and with some difficulty involving baiting the critter with a piece of flesh (don't ask what from - mamajama's freezers have many secrets), the kcat is brought safely on board the Mean Teacher. Good thing, too...the atmosphere in the docking bay is by now almost nonexistent. If there are still Freeport bargoers on the Acid Trash, they better get to stepping to their ships. Mamajama sets her own ship's autopilot controls to zoom out of the hangar the moment that the blast doors open again. (Would someone please open them?)

A young Ensign clears his throat to get her attention.
"Mamajama? Your presence is requested on the bridge."

------------------
Imagination is more important than knowledge - Albert Einstein

Don't worry mamajama, I don't know the rules either. That's because, apart from "no weapons of infinite destruction" and "no resolving the situation in one post" there are no rules.

Payback is still on the bridge, fiddling around with things. Making a couple final adjustments, he taps a transponder on his wrist, and directs his small fighter, Mini-Punisher , to separate from the Punishing One and home in on hm. It moves to an airlock, crumbling from misuse and age, right next to the bridge. Payback hops in quickly, and sends off a radio message. "I set the generators on the hunk of junk to overload; all that's left are pirates, and I would suggest we make tracks away from that thing before it blows. you, see, we've been referring to it as a piece of crap, but there is so much crap (read: ammonia) on boards it's gonna be one spectacular explosion!"

Meanwhile, the Punishing One is headed to the fringe of the system, while Payback has some fun with a couple Proximan fighter on his tail. He decelerates and jerks the yoke up in a turn too tight and quick for the fighters to mimic. Just as quickly, he nails the attitude thrusters, lining his nose along his original course. Caught flat-footed, the fighters swoop through his line of fire and are promptly obliterated.

Payback heads off to dock with his main ship, a large grin on his face the entire way.

mama.: i had no escape pod on my ship just to clear that up.

UEA teleports into gazza's sickbay with the bridge and enginering crew of his vessel carrying a large box(1 foot wide and high 2 feet long).
"Docter put this box somewere safe and don't open it, understand?"
"yes, but why?"
"no time just do it!!"
the docter runs off and puts it in her safe in her office.
UEA makes his way to the bridge "what can i do?"
