In response, Dr. Strohger attempted to communicate with the ship again. it doesn't appear that they have a communication array. I thought all ships were required to have it. Then it struck him. All legal ships were required to have communicators. They were in an illegal vessel, probably doing illegal things. So Dr. Strohger attacked. He sent a whole lot of tracking missiles at them, as many as could. Lets see if they can dodge that, he thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Strohger smiled as one of the missiles skimmed the surface of the ship. Silver's aim truely was immaculate. There was a reason he had kept her. The doctor may have lacked percision, but Silver made up for it. I could totally destroy them right now. He put that thought into the back of his head. No, he needed them alive. He needed all the weird people on the ship. Preferably alive. He causually dodged the missiles. Their flying domeship thing had surprising dexterity for a primitive vessel, or the pilot was really good. them not having communicators made everything difficult. Let's hope they don't run, Dr. Strohger thought. That would be the ultimate mistake. abandoning their vessel would leave them in open space with nothing for lightyears. Not open space. Empty space. Territorial space. Space owned by families who would want to know why Strohger had left two corpses around, and flown off. Which would, of course, mean that Strohger would have to save them or suffer legal wrath. Again. Well, they did get hit, which means their power should be out any moment now... "Silver, could we try to avoid killing them? Try something non-lethal that'll get them out of their ship. if they are dead, we will anger the rich who own this area. So lets try to avoid that." Dr. Strohger waited for their next move. @Szeth_Pancakes @Quirksliver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quivil Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Quote I'm not assuming the comm spikes hit, Sliver's just checking. "Something less lethal. Got it." EMP missiles. The effect wouldn't last for long, but it should be long enough. Of course, they would only work if she got them close enough to the engines, but that shouldn't be impossible even with the tricksy dodging. The best part was that they were, to all appearances, even standard ship's instruments, identical to the warheads. She even kept them in a warhead bay. Sliver prepped the EMPs for use, then sent out a swarm of semi-smart missiles with flight instructions to keep the ship from dodging too much, then fired two EMPs, one aimed to clip the ship, one aimed to miss it, both placed to ensure that one of them would do the job. That done, she pushed the comm spike button. "Can you hear me?" Edited July 1, 2023 by Quirksliver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allera slumped to the ground, gasping for breath. ( @PyroPhile your dude should prbly respond) As something - or somethings lurched inside the flying dome ship, Dr. Strohger's hope for the group staying alive did as well. Dr. Strohger had many emotions inside. Anger, at silver for her reckless attack. Fear, of the courts' rule against him. And despair, of the dome ship's inhabitants' fate. He wanted to yell at Silver. But he controlled himself. He couldn't afford to kill her. No matter how incompetent her planning was. "Stop firing." He directed to Silver, "Disable their movements, and then stay in their ship. I'm going to go negotiate." Not waiting for her response he put on a spacesuit thing and left his vessel, floating towards the dome ship. He trusted Silver to not disable his movement, which was probably a mistake in hindsight, and flew towards the round vessel. Hopefully they would see him coming and let him in. If not, well, that just complicated things. (If you dont let him in he'll cur a hole in your ship to get in. and that will be real bad.) @Quirksliver @Channelknight Fadran 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
