    heh my parents would kick me out of the house if they found out i actively date 

    i have a question. if i think a girl is pretty, how do i ask her out without knowing if she's into girls too?

    I know someone who teases in ways that could be flirting or just a joke, and watches to see if they flirt back or treat it like just a joke

    It sounds hard, and I have no idea how that would work, but maybe this helps a bit?

    Clarification: Does this mean the engines were disabled, along with something else?

    Also, in regards to my recklessness, Maxim 14: "Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "What's the worst that could happen?"

    "Dr. Stogher, come back here or I'm using the gravitics to bring you back. I only disabled the main engines. Anyone inside can still move freely, and you don't know how well armed they are. Besides, I need you to manage the comm spike."

    She's a crack shot and a mechanic. Unless you keep your basic life support systems right next to your main engines, you'll be fine. (And if you do keep life support next to your main engines, she'll say you have bigger problems.)

    Also they were specifically made to not have a large area of effect (if my size estimates are off I'm very sorry, but I'm pretty sure two house-sized ships aren't going to be less than two Pocos apart)

    (um... dont  mind me asking, but what does EMP mean? also @PyroPhile @The Aspiring Archivist @Channelknight Fadranyou should prbly respond)

    Electromagnetic pulse is what EMP stands for but I'm just using it to mean "something that shuts things off for a bit"

    They're sorta like the IMPs in Skyward, except these ones are missiles

    They can make pretty much anything stop working, as long as it fits inside their area of effect - I think the largest thing that would be able to fit entirely without the missile being at the center of it would be a Poco, maybe a Largo.

    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?"

    "How about both." Dr. Strohger said, "A little fear can't be a bad thing." 

    Especially when you're trying to deliver justice. He thought.

    Sliver sent off the spikes and a couple missiles meant to herd the starship into the comm spikes' path. "Disable or destroy?"

    Sorry for my nonresponseiveness, my area has a bajillion powerouts right now

    Sliver narrowed her eyes. "Either they don't have comms systems or they're not responding. Do you want me to send out a comms spike or three?" - they should be small enough to be dismissed as harmless - "Or do you want me to just skip straight to the heavy weapons?"

    what are the odds that your character has a spaceship of their own?

    Quote

    Are y'all in a spaceship? Can I (or maybe I and Exotwo (if you're ok with it Exotwo?)) maybe be tailing yours?
