Re: One final chance: An FTL-RP
"Uh, your welcome" Kr said to Targon I probably shouldn't tell him I thought it was money and scrap He made his way out of the weapons room and up the the cockpit to see if he could be of use there. "Targon said you might need help here" he said to Tabitha. "If you do, I'm not much of a pilot."

"I'm fine" Tabitha said, her voice rather giddy as she spun the ship around so the guns would be targeting one of the hostile vessels. By now, everyone was most definitely onboard and thus the ship could be separated from the station.
One of the enemy ships fired a missile which impacted with an empty room, causing a hull breach. "Could you be a dear and target that one as I try and make an escape. The FTL drive still needs more time..." she suggested to Targon.
She looked at Kr with a big smile "I'm fine, really. The effects of the medbay drugs fade quickly" she then giggled "You look strange though... I think I might be overdosing..."
Great. At least I'm not collapsing from all that crap in my system, she thought to herself.

"Target acquired." Targon fired the Flak at the missile-firing ship and its tail fell off, spinning it into another enemy ship and causing a massive explosion. Luckily Tabitha had piloted the ship out of the explosion's range, even with her high.
"Kr, I demand you help Tabitha pilot. I don't know about you, but I want out of here alive." He fired the ASB at another ship with a Halberd, but not before it barely hit the oxygen system, partially damaging it.
"Arkangel, you've got a repair to deal with."

I've created Type C Hulls for the enemy Mantis, Slug, Rock, and Zoltan ships, and anyone can use these for a mod.
Check out the details here.

Re: One final chance: An FTL-RP
Quintet shut down the communications, mulling over his current options. If he were to hit the spread point on time, he would have to get there quite quickly. He had no more time to attack suspicious crew- the next access point was coming very quickly.
Returning to the current situation, Quintet tried his best to assist Tabitha in piloting and tried to push the FTL drive to its limits, and before he was finished with that, the automatic hack programs he had duplicated off himself were done pushing the long-range transmitter to its submission. This will come in handy, Quintet thought.
"Good news! I got the long-range transmitter to work, and through some easy duplication and having a bit of a look-see, I can use it as a makeshift Long-Range scanner. We won't have to run into anything we don't want to. I can also clear entire beacons from afar, but I think that power can be saved for... more dire times."
Quintet gave one last thought over his suspicions of the crew, looking desperately for some sort of redeeming evidence, but found no hope in that search. He ran 10 high-level Crew Scans at once in a desperate attempt to get something, ignoring the fact it was set to scan all the crew.

Tabitha could feel a light buzzing as the scanners went over her. As she had thought, they came back with a positive for being Human and with everything intact and repaired. "See, Human. You're being more racist than a Rebel."
Even the medical records reported nothing unusual - all the ingredients used in the nanite treatment were not exactly names she knew about - so she didn't know they were the same sort of treatments given to damaged Engies.
She picked a beacon that seemed clear and sent the ship into FTL. Missiles and lasers flew past harmlessly.
However one object did get through just as Tabitha had hit the "Jump" button. A bomb.
"Holy crap."

"I would help, BUT I CAN'T FLY A SHIP!" The beam impact set off some warnings in the cockpit about the oxygen. "I know these buttons do something, and there's a joystick here which controls direction, but that's about it." Just then Kr heard the unmistakable sound of a transporter in a nearby room, followed by blaster shots. "We've got boarders. I'll take care of them." Kr stepped in to the next room just as they broke through the door to that room. Several blaster shots hit the walls around him and he jumped back, returning a few of his own. The boarders fired some more from behind the broken door, and Kr stepped out and nailed one right in the stomach and another in the arm. The boarders called back to their ship to take them back. "Not on my watch!" Kr yelled as he ran toward them and stabbed one just as they teleported back. Kr suddenly found himself on a new ship. Quickly killing the enemies in the room, he looked out a view port to see his ship mid-jump. "$#@&¿"

Re: One final chance: An FTL-RP
((I dunno. What does happen to a ship though as it jumps but then a bomb goes off? I guess it probably reaches its next destination but then piloting is smashed, just like when you jump and tell the crew to move off the station. Ship jumps but can't jump again until someone gets back there))

Re: One final chance: An FTL-RP
Glowing lines of light all around...
All comming from one point and streatching in all directions...
Some lines are solid and bright and some of them are shorter and look as if they were cut off...
The cut off lines are very dimm at the end.
Sp reached out to one of the cut off lines and "touched" it... He put some power to it, and the line strethed out a little bit forwrad...
Sp then put more enrgy into the glowing line, and it started to streatch out forward even more untill at some point it found the other end of it self where it was cut.
The glowing line reconnected with it's second part and started to glow brighter, like the other long lines surrounding Sp.
- Well this one is done.
Sp said to himself.
- Yes, this is good...
- But there are so many more to repair...
Sp reached for another broken line and started repairing it.
He was repairing them one after another, without keeping track of time.
Sp didn't know how much time had passed, but at some point when he finished repairing yet another power line, he noticed that his color of glow was orange with yellow parts showing up from time to time.
- What? Home? When?
Sp disconnected from the Engi body and noticed that the ship was indeed in Hyper space.
- When did we jump? How long was I in there?
Sp reistablished his link with the FTL drive and got a shock! The FTL drive was overclocked.
- Oh no! No no no! This won't do!
He quickly started working on rerouting the energy inside the FTL drive. Boosting the performance and decreasing the threat of overloading.
The yellow color in his glow stopped showing up.
Sp turned his head towards the Engi body to give it a last thought. He noticed that the wound hole on the body was very slowly closing.
I gues I've repaired enought power lines of the nano restoration system to make it work again.
Let's hope it will be enough to revive him.
He then heard a huge explosion in the adjacent room.
