Yes they are bonded and the Doctor says that there are a few already on their way to rescue the pilot but from what I heard, the creatures holding the pilot seem like a mean lot, some of them are even those ugly pig faced creatures that use to work with Jabba the Hut. So I say we go help out!

Cool. Those guys are mean but not exactly Nobel Prize winners. I suspect there's someone...or something a bit more intelligent running the show. Do we have a layout of the room? I'm a good shot but it would help to know exactly where the pilot him...or herself is when we break in.
Yea the Doctor knew that we would want to go help and so he has the map for us waiting on the table. I'm going to put the baby back down...I'll meet you over at the table so we can check it out.
Right...hummm. Wish we could get a look in there. From this the pilot will be right center of the room when we go in.
*puts the baby down as smiles* Well Harry Potter did give me something that could help us. *holds up the invisibility cloak* He found another one and gave me one.
...wow, those are extremely rare and Harry has 2. I assume that's not the "Hallows" one. Oh, won't they smell a rat when I blow the door open?
They are very rare but somehow he got two...and no because we won't be blowing up the door. It'll most likely open quietly for us so we can sneak in.
Not blowing the door huh? Oh all right * kicks on shoe against another* that's no fun but alright. It's hard to be a good guy when you always have to sneak up on the bad guys....
*shakes my head and holds up the cloak* Ready?
*sigh* I guess so..* pulls shorter version of custom pistols from shoulder holster and screws silencer onto front of barrel *
Okay let's go.
Oh stop being such a party pooper! *wraps the cloak around us both and ushers you towards the door*
Huh, pretty roomy cloak to cover 2 adults...Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes product?
Ron's brothers perfected an invisibility serum....You know..Fred and George... *the door is opening just enough for us to squeeze though. Let's get going.
Right. * whispers* Nice compartment for the pilot....if it weren't for the two dozen bad guys. Who's the guy in the titanium armor and mask with the green cowled cloak? He seems to be in charge.
I can't tell... He looks familiar but I can't place a name...Doom? Or something like that?
Oh Crap....sorry, I need a new exclamation. Yeah that's him. Dr. Doom I think it is. (Though I don't know what discipline his doctorate is in...) This guy's not nice.Can I shoot him?
* smiles * Remember, I told you they're armor piercing explosive rounds. They each have a shaped charge in the tip. An Eldar weapons smith made them for me when I saved his family. Remind me to tell you the story some time. Can you take out the two standing beside the pilot as I drop Doom? After that the others shouldn't be a big problem.
*pulls out two long blades from my back* Of course I can...legs have some fun shall we? Wait! Wha tab out the others that are supposed to becoming in...where are they?
Not sure, but there's only 24 or so of them. Shouldn't even raise a sweat... I'll count 3, you go for you blade targets, I'll get Doom and go from there.1...2...
*clutches the knives in my hands, eyes on my targets* This is going to be fun.
3*#@*&%#crack@$@!$bam$#@boom%^&*slam#*^%#**swish*!%^wham*&%$#*%crack-crack-crack*%!$&*%$@!!!!!
quiet---smoke--
Pilot hugging Lacey...only 3 standing...looking around
*pats the pilot on the back* you're safe now..just take a deep breath. And you'll be just fine. *breaks the hug and looks around* I still want to know where the other rescue team is. Isn't it kind of odd that they aren't here yet.
Yeah, a bit. Let's secure this place before we leave him though, look at this.* holds up chunk of armor (with a little blood on it) and some cloth *
I got Doom but he flashed away after I tagged him. Must have had some kind of individual transport device. Still he lost some armor, some blood...and something on paper. I mean actual paper, kind of old fashioned.
* Pilot still clutching at Lacey nods head and explain the Doom popped in and out of the ship a few times and once referred to "the others". *
*looks at the pilot and then back at you with an expression saying help get him off of me* Well did you at least tag Doom? You know with one of those tracking devices Mal gave you the last time you two we together?
I think so, but the receiver's back in our room in my stuff. * Slowly disentangling pilot from Lacey but he seems somewhat...distraught *
I tell you what. Stay with him and I'll step back through and see if I can get him a drink from the Dr. You try to calm him down. Maybe he can recontact the ship and it'll help him... Hang on.
*eyes grow wide as I watch you leave* Yea...sure... *looks at the pilot in disgust*
*when you come back the pilot is in his chair holding his jaw and I stand with my arms crossed and murder in my eyes as I glare at the pilot*
Ooooookkkkkaaayyyy, ah-hem.* Dr. returns with me, holds out brandy to pilot carefully looking, neutral *
So uhhh, maybe we should go back to our room and see if we can get a fix on Doom? It might also be good to check the monitors and see what's going on in the rest of the ship???? Ya think???
* carefully not looking anything but....neutral much like the Dr.
*stalks out of the room, arms straight down next to my sides with my hands in tight fists* Good idea!
Ahh humm. Alright, you'll notice that many of the beings that were here are gone and that the shuttle bay is empty. I think the ship has started on growing some new shuttles and the young ship is tied back into the mother with several connections. I assume that's so it can continue to feed and grow till it's ready to...birth. Can't see much more than that though the other...passengers seem to be moving around freely.But look at this. These papers Doom dropped they refer to a group called Totalitarian Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humaniods and all species...THRUSH.
They sound like Necromongers......maybe we should contact Riddick. He might be able to handle Doom better than the two of us combined. *studies the papers then looks up at you* I know you are dying to ask so go ahead and ask.
I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot dilithium spanner... feel free to expound at your leisure.As for Doom I think Reed Richards may be of more help and I'm pretty sure I've heard of THRUSH. It started on one version of our own Earth, like Doom did. I wasn't aware they were still round though, much less that they'd expanded into space.
Are you in contact with Riddick? Dude tends to get the job done, but he doesn't play well with others. Effective mercenary, but didn't he like wipe out a city completing his last job?
Well, of course that kind of thing can happen now that I think about it. Uh-hum, so have you ever worked with him????
Actually I am the one person he gets along with quite nicely. We worked together...he saved my ass and I saved his. So yea I can contact him and he loves destroying people who threaten his friends. And when you were gone the pilot got fresh with me so I had to put him in his place...
Yeah, I kind of figured but ummm...wasn't sure you'd appreciate any comment. You seemed to have handled it sufficiently... * looks innocent and about 12 years old * Maybe it was a compliment????* cough, cough*
Well, maybe we should get back to our room and check to see if we've got a fix on Doom????
I don't think grabbing me was a compliment. He wasn't even scared, just playing that we was so he could grope me. *wrinkles my nose in disgust*. Lets go to our room. Hopefully those tracking devices work and aren't just one of Mal's ploy to get money.
Hummm I doubt it. Jane might pull that but Mal and I are friends. * Goes back out into "round" corridor which now leads to ladder that drops back to main corridor where the actual door to our room is back *
Okay...yeah here it is...crap (sorry...man I say that a lot). Low battery. Let me connect it to the ship's power supply. Okay, yeah there we are. Look at that. Yep way outside ship. We need a view and a fix before he jumps to Hyperspace.
Ask the hip. I'm sure she'll help us out and give us a visual up on deck..or maybe here in our room so I don't have to go near Captain Grabby...
Right, lets see...* Goes to intercom *
Uh, hi we need help here, have a request, we need to see the ship of the ones who tried to take over here, and get a fix on which way they jump.....
* Looks over at Lacey *
I feel like Han talking to control when he and Luke were breaking Leia out of the detention block on the Death Star, "we're all fine here...how are you"...sheesh.
* wall suddenly starts to "reform" *
Nice monitor considering it's new. Okay hang on have you still got that hand held multicore processor? Se if you can lock down their position. We'll have no way of knowing where they'll come out of hyperspace but we can get an idea of what inhabited systems there are in the direction they jump.
*pulls it out* I have it right here. *punches in a few things* got it! *shows you the screen with a huge grin on my face*
Okay. Now...what do we do for a ship? I'm assuming mama ship isn't going to want to case after these crazies just after she got rid of them. Think we can reach Mal...and that he'll be interested in the job...and that we can afford to hire him?Oh wait, I forgot, we've still got the platinum.
Actually I have already contacted Riddick and he is almost here. He is eager for blood shed and is interested in meeting you since I told him how you have saved my life quite a few times. *smiles at you*
So, he's got his own ride? Okay. I figured we could find a mercenary if nothing else. At least Riddick is a known quantity... a homicidal maniac. So we can relax now...* walks back to intercom and presses call button *
Hi ship, would it be possible to get a couple of Killian's and roast beef sandwiches in our room? Thanks.
* hangs jacket...loosens weapons harness and stretches out. smiles *
Might as well take it easy for a while, who knows when we'll get the chance again? So, are those blades custom made?
*twirls one by the blade* Yes actually a gift from Legolas. He knew that I have a thing for knives even though I also hate getting cut by them. So he personally made these for me. *hands you one o you can see the detailed carvings of animals on both sides of the blade.*
Oh yeah...like the double short swords he wears, nice...good balance to. I like blades, though most of mine are knife size. Well, I also like pistols, and shotguns, and rifles... I guess I like weapons.
Ahh, our beer and sandwiches. * Small service droid floats in and puts down tray. *
So * Takes drink of Killian's * did Riddick say where he's coming from. We should have the lights dimmed for him when he gets here.
He didn't say where he was coming from but probably from Helion Prime..that was the last place he was staying with Jack or whatever her name is now. *takes back the blades and puts them in their sheath that are positioned in my back* Oh great! I'm starving after all that fighting we did. *bites in the sandwich* yummm
Pretty good roast beef and the beer tastes like the real stuff. Wonder if they import? Oh well.* Pulls over table and begins disassembling and cleaning weapons *
Better take advantage of available time I guess. No way to know when we'll get another chance. Any idea which star systems lay in the direction they jumped?
Well from the read out...oh! They might be asking Riddick. They are going to pass Helion Prime and some strange solar system past that...not sure I can read the name of the solar system. Maybe you can! *hands you the read out of where the ship was headed and takes a sip of my beer*
