End of the world
Actually there were a couple on this ship...they are two floors down. I recognized his kind right off the bat when we were at the dinner before our clothes tried to take control over us. I was shocked and was trying to tell you and then everything happened. *hold out a picture that I had quickly snapped of the two* Riddick is sure going to be surprised when he finds out that there are two of his kind safe and sound on this ship.
Maybe... Or they're the real reason he's anxious to get here????When the Necros wiped out his world...or converted them they thought that there weren't any left. The Furyaians were noted for being great warriors. I always suspected that some of them would survive.
Look at this situation. Universes crashing together and leaking into one another, Universe conquering groups showing up right left and center, now lost races turning out not to be lost.
Next we'll stumble into the Skrull, Kree War or find some Kryptonian colony on a planet with a Red Sun just waiting to be discovered.
Hmm I know a certain Krypton how would vote to know that there are others like him still alive. Maybe after we stop Doom, WE can get our own ship and travel through the galaxies to see what other races we find. Maybe we can find races that no one has ever found or heard of before. That would be really neat.Oh hang on...it's Riddick! *answers my phone* Hey! Yea we'll meet you there. *hangs up* he's here and will be landing in ten. I told him we would meet him in the hanger.
Cool. * Replaces weapons harness, checks knives and extra ammo, adjusts chain-mail, slips jacket back on. *
Okay, let's go.
* takes last bite on sandwich and drains beer. *
*checks weapons one last time then heads to the door which opens as soon as I neared it* I hope Riddick flies good and not all crazy.
* raises left eyebrow *Yeah, right.
Hey a girl can hope can't she? *heads for the hanger*. I hear yelling already..*looks back at you* Riddick!
* sighs, draws gun (just in case) *Go!
* sprints toward hanger *
*Sprints past you and into the hanger* RIDDICK!!!! *once you walk in you see me being hugged and spun around by Riddick*
* Reholsters weapon, looks around and finds chair, sits, turns to crew-person *I think they may have met before....
Okay...put me down before you make me sick, Riddick. *laughs and waves you over* Riddick, I want you to meet Mike.
Hello. * Shakes hands....winces a bit....completes hand shake...shakes hand *So, I'll say thanks for the help, but I assume you're here to help a.....friend.
*smiles at you two* Okay we can chat in the ship...let's get going! *runs up the ramp into the ship*
Uhhh...Lacey, might want to get the rest of our gear. Give me a few seconds and I'll ask the ship to send it with some droids. How's Riddick fixed for supplies otherwise?
*pokes head out eyes wide* I think we don't need our stuff. Check it out! There is like everything in here..I feel like I'm in Mary Poppin's bag with how he shoved so much stuff
Nice, but if you don't mind I'd like my case. It's got some...sentimental value. For one thing the explosive ammo I use is custom made.Ahh, here's the droid. They've got your stuff to, do you want it on board?
Sure why not...the more stuff the more fine we'll have using it all. *disappears back inside*. Come on let's go! The more we talk out here the farther Doom gets.
* Strolls in getting somewhat acquainted with Riddick (mostly comparing knives)*Okay, we're on Lacey. So I take it you've been here before???
* By the way...comparing actual knives, throwing knives, fighting knives...no double entendre *
*sits down and straps myself in* Been where before? *gets comfy in the set while Riddick straps in and turns she ship on*
Okay.* Drops into seat, straps in, reclines, closes eyes. *
Gonna try to sleep through acceleration. Wake me when we make the jump...or at least when you two are ready to discuss where we're going and what we plan when we get there. If you decide to be...busy elsewhere could you leave me a note about where the galley is, so I can make myself a snack?
*blinks* Busy elsewhere? You are talking strangely, Mike. As for where we are going, we are headed to the galaxy past Helion Prime. And no idea yet on the plan.
Hummm, well, maybe I'm just tired. Like I said, see if I can drop off as we accelerate. Have to rest when you get the chance....oh, wait a sec.* Loosens safety straps, unbuckles belt across chest and removes Falchion sheath from where it was worn across back under jacket. Secures scabbard to side of seat, refastens safety belt, sighs *
That's better.
*smiles and shakes my head* Sweet dreams, Mike. *watches as Riddick start up the ship*
* Yawns and opens eyes...notes Lacey is not on her couch. Sits up to see if we're in hyperspace. *So...how lone gave we been out and what's the expected time left?
*turns around in the pilot seat* We have been in hyperspace for two hours and still have maybe three more. Riddick is just went to sleep. *points at the chair next to me here Riddick is sitting up fast asleep*
Humm, well anybody who's lived the kind of life where you can pretty much be killed without notice knows to sleep when you can.What's he got in the galley? I could use something with caffeine in it, something cold if he's got it? Tea, cola, whatever. Anything beside iced coffee, if it's coffee it'll be hot.
I'm not sure...I haven't checked it out yet but knowing him it'll be cola....since he got his hands on one two years ago he has been hooked! *turns back around and stretches, cracking my neck* Think I'll go back there too. I need something to munch on.
* We wander around inspecting ship a bit. I stop by my bags and pull out my "Ray Ban" night vision glasses (circa 2020 Earth and look like simple sunglasses) as Riddick keeps the ship on the dark side. Offers Lacey a pair. *Do you have some of these? If not you can use my spare pair, make it easier to function and keep the ship the way Riddick likes it.
Hummm...you were right. Lots of booze here and several types of cola from several planets. That was one plant that Earth exported with great success, along with vanilla and coco beans.
Think I'll just have an Earth Coke. Looks like he's got enough in the hold here to last several years.
*accepts the glasses* thanks! Was wishing I was a cat for a while there. *puts them on* ooooooo nice! Yea I'll stick with the Earth Cola too. I'm very finicky when it comes to trying new sodas...did that once in Vegas and there were quite a few I had to choke down or my hubby would have been wearing it. *laughs*
Not a good thing....* finds seat and drinks Coke *
Well, pretty good ship considering as far as I can tell he pilot's it alone. At least I haven't seen anyone else. I assume the locked door is the armory. The bar's nice. I like the automated drink maker.
*sits down across from you and takes a sip* Looks like a stolen ship..I hope he didn't steal it before he came to get us and that he has everything in his name now.
Yeah me to, a Paladin's name tied to a stolen ship can be dicey. I guess I'd get an idea how Shepherd Book felt sometimes...
I wonder if there are records somewhere that may tell us? *looks a bit nervous*
At this point I'd say...unless someone shows up to file a complaint...there's little we can do. So, let's try handling one problem at a time and see what was up with the attempted hijacking of a Leviathan and worry about what else we've gotten into later.If Riddick will let us. I still wonder at the trail leading us back toward this system. I suppose he's still got a price on his head in some systems. If any of his people survived he'd naturally want to get them to a safe place after what was done to their world.
Looks like we are going to have our plates full...we have to find out about the hijacking, then find others like Riddick, then find them a safe solar system and a nice planet for them all to live on...oh it's enough to make my head spin. How are we going to do it all? It'll take us years! *groans and put head in hands.*
On the other hand we could just go somewhere and watch TV. * Flips open intergalactic television program guide and spends a long time looking through it. *
We're better off over worked...bring on the hostile aliens and insane would be conquers.
*laughs* What? Nothing good on for us to watch until the worlds and galaxies decide to blow themselves up?
Ain't it always the way? 10,000 stations and nothing to watch?
10,000? Sheesh! I thought he got the one million station...oh well would probably be the same way...*looks towards the front of the ship* is it just me or are we slowing down?
Hummm...must be completing the jump. Dose the ship need attention or is it fully automatic?
*peers down into the other room* oh Riddick is up...he can navigate the ship now. Wow he was so quiet...scary quiet.
Yeah, but on the other hand it's not the only way he's scary.Let's get down there and see what's going on.
*nods my head and stands up* Yea the ship is slowing down even more. It's almost as if he's stopping us completely. Oh no! I hope nothing has happened like Doom finding us out!
Naaa, couldn't be anything like that...but check your weapons just in case.
*slowly inches my way to where Riddick is flying the ship* Riddick? Is there something wrong? *looks around* Riddick? Riddick?!? Mike! He's gone!
* Enters...looks around *Gone where????
Does this ship have a way to register energy bursts? Are the shields up? If something snatched him off the bridge we need to know what, where and how.
I don't know...he only showed me how to control the ship once we came out if hyperspace...and he said don't touch anything else. *touches the pilot seat* it's still warm...
Great... * begins to check read outs and checking for power surges...flips a switch (an actual toggle switch instead of the normal touch screen) *
The shield had a power override tied in. They were down, wonder what that's all about.
* Opens viewing port blast shields and peers out *
Okay you want the good news first or the bad news?

Wonder if he's ever gotten over Kyra? You know, he was pretty hacked off about that. Do you suppose there may be more Furyans out there somewhere?
Hummm....
