once seeing that they were going to force the hatch of my ship i arm myself with a Blaze Beamer, personal forceshield (thx Shrout!) and an energy shield (hand held),
teleporting out (damn im glad i ate that deep blue pill) i blast away at the 7 pirates till my forceshield is down to 10% due to blood and body parts hitting it. after my forceshield is up to 100% i teleport to shade to make sure he hasn't caused too much destruction.

Mamajama, sneaking through the corridors of the giant mongrel spaceship Acid Trash, passes a group of thugs that could loosely be termed "guards". At least, they are all carrying small arms, all walking in the same direction, and bragging about their conquests of the day. Apparently, they receive a percentage of the plunder from each captured ship. She listens carefully for news of where her fellow adventurers are locked up, and especially for news of the Hand of Joy, the criminal she is hunting.
"I dunno what the boss wants with them, anyway. We got enough slaves for work .. and for play, too!" The other bravos laugh at this witticism
"Yeah, but we gotta keep em locked up in level 7, til he;s got time to interrogate em all, find what use we have for em."
"Theyre bad luck, y know. That one where the bridge of the ship looked like a slaughterhouse? And how about that piece of blue jewelry that exploded all over Bim and those guys? Or the guy teleporting all over the damn place. It ain't natural. Gotta watch your step around this lot."
"I'll tell you what...I don't even think we can keep this batch locked up, and it ain't worth my skin to try. At least two of em's loose already."
"So what are we supposed to do? We can't just cut and run, the Boss'll skin you for sure."
"Hey, can you keep a secret? This is for youse only the Big Boss may not be the Big Boss much longer. He might be, you might say, taken in Hand."
"What do you mean?"
The whisper sinks to near inaudibility.
"The Hand they call him the Hand of Joy. Hes hiring, you know. Pays twice as good, and you get a chancet to get offa this hell hole, too. Word is, hes planning to take over this whole operation."
"No snitz!"
"Yeah..so watch out for number one, you know what I mean? Keep your options open. When the Hand beckons be ready to jump ship."
In spite of Mamajamas intense interest in this conversation, her inisibility cloak is beginning to waver.
Like the ships model, her cloak requires periodic refueling, and is now beginning to waver and buzz like a bad transformer. She finds a power circuit for the section she is in, and begins to drain off power to recharge her cloak. Unexpectedly, the passage is plunged into darkness.

Grundulater, we're seperated right now.
UEA, I'd prefer it if you didn't teleport around the place. The Acid Trash is meant to be a challenge, not a freeway.
mamajama, your writing is still excellent. I'm beginning to feel envious.
Shade stops as the corridor's lights flicker and go out.
From somewhere down the darkened halls comes the sound of blast doors squealing shut.
Soon the emergency lighting, such as it is, flickers on. It's dim red glow quicly splutters and dies, the emergency generators undoubtedly tapped for various under-the-table systems.
The only light is the faint glow of Shade's blue eyes.
Shade reaches the blast door, and realises that it's too strong to cut through.
He then resorts to the favourite transportation system of Hollywood aliens- the ventilation tubes.
The tubes are grimy, rusty with ill maintenance, and blocked here and there with anything from decomposing bodies to some pirate's stash of top-shelf holozines.
Eventually Shade guesses he's now in a parallel section, finds a loose ventilation hatch, and climbs out.
Brushing the dust and grime from his robe, Shade sets off down the corridor.
Soon his heightened senses detect the faint image of a person in the corridor, crouching by a power socket.
Shade relaxes as he gets closer- it's mamajama, the bounty hunter who started all this.
"Hey!" he calls softly. "Do you know where the others are?"
------------------
(url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/shades_shipyard")Shade's Shipyard(/url), the source for your ship needs.
Gazza gets out of his ship with a body guard of 8 UE crack assult troops.
As Gazza steps out of the hatch you can here the screams of people in the distance.
Gazza speaks into his com link to the other team members "Alright team were going after Shade and mammajamma"
Gazza turns a corner and is faced with about 4 renegades blasters armed.
Gazza whips out dual Phased Neautrino Pistols and starts firing gunning down 2 as the rest of his team takes out the others with their Phase Rifles.
They keep walking and eventually find Shade and mammajamma, who are currently in a firce fire fight with a group of renegades.
"Need a hand"shouts Gazza "Let em have it boys!!"
The assult team opens up and wipes out the renegades man after man.
"alright team you guys can head back to the ship I can go on my self here, also run a scan of the area with teh sensors and see if you can find Han Of Joy"
"All right lets move out!" shouts the team leader as they run off back to secure the ship incase a safe fall back position is needed.
Gazza walks over to Shade and mammajamma who have been forced into a corner by the ambush, "you alright?, Where do we go from Here?"...

Mamajama, used to working alone, is nevertheless grateful for the resources of the other bar goers. Her strengths are deviousness, persistence, some basic voodoo, and the quality that keeps her immortal...the ability to "jump" to another body when her current one dies. The strengths of her companions are superior arms and military skills, plus experience in similar situations, since every bar they go to, they end up having to escape from some weird situation. Still, they keep on bar-hopping.
"The pirates said that the others are on level seven, wherever that is. Shade, you've been exploring the systems here...any ideas? And, there's a mutiny brewing here, the Hand's guys against the Boss's. We need to take advantage of that, without getting caught in the crossfire."
"Perhaps", muses Shade," One group of us should concentrate on freeing our friends, and another on exploiting the mutiny, taking over the ship, and capturing the Hand. You're a bounty hunter...you just want to get your man. But you won't be able to capture the Hand alone, Mamajama. Take some people with you. How will we be able to communicate if we split up?"

"here Take these comlinks" Gazza passes shade and mammajamma the comlinks.
"Set them at 12Mgz frequency that should stop the pirates tapping into our transmissions". Says Gazza
"I will go and see If I can find this ship propulsion systems, and cause a little accident with all the hallmarks of"Hand OF Joy" (that way the boss might feel more interested in talking to us, that should give you two enough time to infiltrate the prison and free our friends, and when thats done we can go after "Hand Of Joy"."
"Also send any injured back to my ship they will be safe there" states Gazza ,
"so what do you think of my plan?"

"Sounds workable", says Mamajama. "I can tell you that the Hand of Joy is suspected of working for an alien race resident here in the Proxima. So if you can make it look like the accident came from outside, using alien technology...Perhaps a "coded" transmission, seeming to be from somewhere in the Nebula. He's been hijacking shipments of Pyromania, a hallucinogen that makes people really happy before they have to burn things. Stellar Corp had a nice little business selling Pyromania in the outskirts and the wilder parts of the galaxy. The Hand took that over; that's why SC wants him. UE wants him because, well, he's a drugrunner, and possibly funding some renegade / alien mayhem and raiding. Right, Admiral?"
Admiral, Cap'n, Jess, Grundy,where are you guys? What part of this are you in on? Rescuee or Rescuer?
Shade, I'm enjoying your vivid descriptions of the station.

Okay guys just a little history on nano technology. I thought it all up last night. Nano eggs have to be hatched in a special hatchery, after they are hatched they are transfered to a programming ring in order to bond it with a person. After this is done the person is able to control the Nanos by his mind. Also a small amount is left deposited in his body so in case when you get your nano destroyed you can extract a small amount from your body and split it until you have enough. Now that you know about nano, i'm going to get myself out of this jail cell. Cap'n S P extracting some nano from his body, Manipulates it to press the open button outside the cell. The energy bars fade away from view and Cap'n S P heads out to find the Hand of Joy. After wandering around the ship for a while and also killing some guards. Cap'n S P finds shade mamajama and gazza_2001. Gazza hand me a commlink. After Gazza explains his plan he agrees to help gazza find the thrusters and disable them.
Gazza you start out us going to the thrusters I suck at writing realisticly

Ship! Ship! I meant ship, not station...also, forgot to mention, Pyromania is highly addictive, kills about 70% of the users within a year, and is possibly being used by the alien Nebula race as a means of infiltrating and weakening the UE / Miranu/ Strand governments.

I'm a rescuer, and in charge of alcohol. Also, I have my doody phase-proof robot, formerly known as Uiseau. He's not half bad after a few years of mental oppression.
Jess's weapon of choice is a modification of the bazooka. Modified in that it can shoot many horrible, poisonous, knock-out, confusing and basic hole-punching substances.

Well My number of posts is slowly climbing. VERY VERY slowly.
Also if you can't figure it out from my older post 
I am a rescuer.
------------------
Drive defensivly. Buy a tank.
Well, in that case, OV, I will forever be a newbie because I will never get karma!
Payback follows in the beacons left by Shade, because he has been late to everything lately. He notices nobody challenges him as he rides into the docking bay. When he lowers his ramp, he finds a few bargoers ships around and a couple pirates pointing nasty-looking projectile weaponry at him. Payback casually strolls down the ramp. One of the pirates sneers, and points his weapon.
"Where do you think you're going?" By way of response, Payback sidles underneath the gaping shotgun, gives the man a quick elbow to the stomach, then a knee to the face as he scrunches up. Before the other pirate can react, the shotgun is in Payback's hands. He fires a shot, taking the other pirate out. He grabs the automatic pistols and holsters from the dead man, then the trenchcoat from the first. Though tattered, it will confuse people long enough for him to get a drop on him. He noticed some slaves in the control window, along with a few menacing types, above the hangar. He figures he'll get some good samaritan credits today, and heads off to find his way up to the control room.

"Hey Paul, do you like Huey Lewis and the News?"
Shade sketches a rough map of the Acid Trash.
"We are here." he points to a spot about halfway along the ship, near the docking bays.
"The drives are here, near the engineering section." Shade indicates the rear of the ship.
"The prison decks- levels Seven and Eight- are here." he points to two of the lower, older sections.
"The bridge is right at the front of the ship, right there. That's where "The Boss", and probably the "Hand of Joy", are."
After giving more detailed instructions to Gazza's team, Shade and mamajama slip into the grimy ventilation tubes to get to Level Seven.
The tubes often double back, coiled like intestines -and just as mucky- through the bowels of the Acid Trash.
From the rooms the tubes pass through rises the chatter of guards, the almost organic rattle and whine of machinery, and finally the terrible sounds and murky lighting of the prison levels.
Shade and mamajama exit the tubes by cutting a hole in the side of the narrow pipe, and drop to the deck.
The first thing which strikes Shade about the prison level is it's smell.
The stench of excretment mixes with sweat, blood and the cloying scent of death.
From all around them come the pained whimpers of the long-held prisoners as they struggle to breathe through parched throats, the screams far away as guards do something unmentionable to a prisoner, and the rising voices of the freshly-incarcerated, the prisoners who have not yet given up hope.
Finally one ragged old man gathers the strengh to lurch to his feet and adress them. "Thank God." he whispers in a hoarse voice through cracked lips, "You've come to free us! You've come to free us! "

Autonav's S-11 Demon initiates a jumpgate. As the stars lengthen, a whirl of space-time appears and the ship enters. It emerges several hundred klicks away from the Acid Trash. As Autonav prepares to decimate the floating junkheap's sheild batteries, he wonders what will happen if he calls up some more firepower. He waves his hand over the game, and a Strike Cannon and a Command Craft appear outside the fighter. He orders them to tackle the ship.
"Try to eliminate the sensor arrays," he orders, "but don't destroy it! We need this one alive."
The strike cannon prepares an EMP blast as the Command Craft brings to bear a powerful beam weapon...

SO... Autonav is attacking the shields of the ship to disable, not destroy.
Payback is heading for the bridge...by himself.
Jess is in charge of alcohol, and has a big ask bazooka.
Capn and Gazza are disabling the thrusters.
I think UE Admiral, Payback, and Grundy should take over the bridge and try to kill or capture the Boss, also free the captives on the bridge. I think the Hand of Joy may not be in the obvious place (the bridge), but you never know.
Mamajama and Shade are in the prison cells, rescuing the slaves and prisoners. It seems that all of the Freeport Bar crew, except maybe OV, maybe Jess? have managed to free themselves.
Mamajama has seen many pitiful sights in her 138 years, but the pathetic prisoners wrench at her heart, not to mention her stomach. Shade's energy weapon, delicately used, makes short work of chains and shackles. Soon the abused collection of humanity (plus various aliens) is unbound.
Autonav and co must be making headway on the bridge, because apparently no one is watching the security cameras.
Only one or two guards have come to investigate, and Mamajama's plasma squirt gun made short work of them. Two large, hairy, smelly corpses block the corridor until they are dragged to the side. One of the guards has a collection of keys and key cards, and with the help of OV, Jess, and some of the more able-bodied prisoners, all are soon freed.
Then, the problem becomes what to do with them? Most are too weak or injured to fight, or even walk very far. Gazza's ship is available for the injured, but how to get them there?
At least a dozen of the captives seem to be in the final throes of Pyro addiction - their bodies are blistered and burned from attempts at self-immolation, and they look enviously at their rescuers' energy weapons. "Fire. Pretty fire," says one skeletal wreck of a man, lunging ineffectually at Shade's glowing sword.
Mamajama thumbs the com unit to Capn S P.
"Capn, what can your nano technology do medically? Can you heal the injured slaves or get someone un-addicted to Pyromania?"
Besides the plight of the prisoners, other things are making Mamajama anxious:
No one has reported finding the Hand of Joy. The situation on the bridge is unknown. And, as the icing on the cake, with a lurch, the gravity fails, comes back on, comes partially back on. People are floating and falling in a chaotic whirl. Other substances from the prison are also, freed from gravity, floating around in the air.
"I believe Gazza and Capn have disabled the thrusters", says Shade.

Mean while down in enginnering Gazza and the captn are having a bit of trouble...
"allright we took out the thrusters I'm gonna falsify the senor readings to make it look like were being attack by the Proximans , Give me cover"
gazza runs over to the sensor station while lasers blast all around.
He reaches the station and beings modifiying the sensors , when suddenly "BANG!!!" the console next to him explodes , sending Him flying.
Gazza picks him self up and finishes what he was doing.
The Captn appears at his sideand shoves him away from the console just as it explodes in a shower of sparks.
"GAzza , It appears we have our hands full , look behinde you."
Gazza turns to see a large mob of Pyro Zombies (People Addicted to Pyromania) all wielding flame throwers coming his way.
Gazza spins and whips out his pistols taking 3 out , while Captn pules out dual blaze rifles and opens fire, he takes out 5 but they just keep coming...
"WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE" Shouts Gazza
"Right" shuots the captn "follow me"
the Captn blasts open a ventilation shaft cover and dives in as Gazza follows.
they keep falling and eventually come to rest in what appears to be a torture chamber...
<EVIL_CAKCLE>"Ahhhh..good ...to...seee...you...I knew..you...would..be..arriving..soon"<EVIL_CAKCLE>
Gazza turns to see the tourturer who is an old women dressed dominatrix style.
Gazza opens fire but the Old lady puts her hand in the air and the shots just ricochet off her.."Ohh dear , this could be bad" Says Gazza
