"eh... I think I'll go check the Navigation system," He said getting up hastily, and walking past Rann out of the storage room.

"No he didn't!" she lied forcefully. "I just hid in that crate there."
Rann, Ship
"It doesn't matter. Now I have to plan on having Irma, the HDF and a crimelord after me. Thanks." he said sarcastically, throwing his hands in the air and walking out of the room.
He couldn't turn around; he didn't have the time. Lily would just have to tag along.

"Yes."
"Eclipse 08, have you sighted the station?"
"Yes."
"Eclipse Squadron, you may engage the target."
"Finally . . . "
"Eclipse 07, I didn't catch that."
"Nothin'"
The pilot of E-07 fixed his sights, and reaching his hand down to place it on the trigger, he punched in the number code, unlocking it.
Then he fired.

Ed stared at the ground like a small child being scolded until Rann left.
"He took it better than expected. I'll go talk to him." as he turned to follow rann, he caught up to the boy.
"Rann, listen, she was bored in that house. all alone with just her grandmother. You can't force her to go back. She's not a little girl and I think her grandmother knows that. I thought Irma would follow us, but thinking about it Irma has to realize she can't lock her grandaughter up forever."
He walked besides Rann,
"Besides she's great company to have around,"
OOC: it is entirely understood if Rann goes violent %!). for some reason I can jsut picture him punching ed in the jaw for this.

"No Rann I don't think you're getting the picture. Those crimelords have your eye Rann. Your freaking eye. You ahve recorded memories on them. and as a standard it runs a short term memory cache. Those crimelords know about Lily and they know about Irma. They also know where Irma and Lily are from your eye's memory banks. When the time runs out, Those crimelords are going to go after the nearest targets. Irma and Lily would be that target. Don't you see Rann. If Lily wasn't with us she would be dead. "

"That eye isn't the normal bio-whatever-the-hell eye. I made it so that it records when I want it to, not constantly, like normal ones. I record things when I want something to look back on. I've never recorded Irma, and Lily maybe once or twice, but never in Irma's home. If you hadn't helped her here, she would be fine."
"Now I have to think out what I'm going to do once Satyana and Syke are here." he said, storming off in the direction of the work room.
He started working on a few things that would upgrade his pistol once he got another one to modify. He formed the barrels again, the ones that would fire rithum, hoping that he would find something to attach them to soon.
He barely registered the next few times they went through a gate.
Syke, RS413
"What the hell was that?" he asked as the station rumbled under the stress of a bombardment.
"Satyana, we have to leave." he said, loading his gun. "I htink they've come sooner than expected. Oh, and get our little hospitalized friend; he might become a good bargaining tool."

Ed ignored Lily's presence, but apathetically looked out the window anyways. It looked like it was under attack, Ed shrugged.
"who knows, probably out of funds and being destroyed." he said before staring blankly at the computer screen, where he then saw RS-413 show up on the radar. He didn't link the two for several seconds then it dawned on him what was going on. Ed lookde at Lily,
"this isn't good." he turned the intercom on.
"Rann....we umm have a situation."

After a second of thinking afterwards, he figured it might be a good idea to look; Ed had sounded urgent.
"What is it?" he asked angrily before looking out the window. "Oh, God, no."
"Move." he said to Ed, who sat in the pilot's chair. "I can close one eye or something." he added, after remembering the depth perception ordeal.

"Strap yourself in." he said to Lily as he did so himself. He had to get by those ships and into the station. Hopefully the few guards in the station could do something...
He switched off auto-pilot, and took on an expression of complete concentration. Staring ahead, he blasted the ship forward, hoping to blast past the ships surrounding the station before they could react.
It worked. Mostly. The back did get hit a few times, but the hull wasn't pierced.
He needed someone else to fly, and Ed had disappeared. "fly this thing for me." he said, looking over at Lily. Before she could protest, he switched the controls over to the co-pilot chair.
He used the ship's computer to hack into the station. "Open a damned hangar!" he shouted through the station's intercom, hoping that his sister or brother, or anyone that knew him would oblige. It beat trying to ram through the station.

"Ah hamster," he cursed as he brought his hand to his bleeding nose. he pulled his hand away to see them covered in blood,
"compassion," he scrambled up of the floor, and began searching for paper towels. blood dribbled down onto his shirt. He finally found some paper towel and covered his nose.
He was making his way to the cockpit when he heard Rann screaming standing in the door way he looked at the enraged Rann.
"If you hacked into the system why don't you just open the hangar and save yourself the trouble" he said still holding a blood drenched paper towel to his nose.

Satyana did not wait for a reply, she rushed to the hangar, just hoping the attackers hadn´t destroyed it completely. She grabbed an respiratory pack(?) just in case....
There was a backup-system designed just for cases like this, you could actually open one of the hangars without using the normal computerized system. This was one of the things their father was very particular about, and now Satyana was grateful to the old man.....
She reached an old-fashioned control-panel, turned a crank.....and the huge door started moving......the air went thinner every second and she had to retreat to the sluice....She stood there behind the airtight door and watched as the hangar opened....with relief she noticed a ship slowly entering, she even spotted Rann through the window.
For a second she had been afraid she´d let in those attackers....Then she heard footsteps behind her...

"Rann's right. Since the hangar has to be opened manually now, that means we can't get out unless someone stays here and opens the door. Since I'm not keen on leaving anyone, we have to go to the guard's storage room to get some explosives to blow the door."

He heards gunfire in the direction of the infirmary. "Syke!" he yelled, running in that direction, only to find that the hall had collapsed from the constant bombing. The quickest way was still too long...
