RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Alex: Okay then.

He reaches behind the seat of the ship and pulls out his P330. He chambers a round and hits the power switch.

Alex: I'll get up on this hill and cover you.

Keeping his head low, Alex takes off for the hill overlooking the airbase. Sam heads for the barbed wire-topped fence.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Sam follows the fence around until he finds a small gate behind what seemed to be a storehouse. Making sure noone was around, he kicked gate in and quickly ran in, and ducked behind a box. After waiting a moment, he realized nobody heard him, he got up, and approached the back door to what he thought was a storehouse. Suprisingly, the building had an old wooden door. He jiggled the handle, and it was unlocked. He slowly opened the door and headed inside. The room was dimly lit, and boxes lined the walls. Nestled in the corner was a table with a radio sitting on it. A light dangled above the table. There were two guards sitting there, one was leaned back in his chair. One was napping, and the other was flipping through a magazine. Sam snuck in behind one of the stack of boxes. Sam leaned around the corner, and looked through the scope and sights it over the first guard. He dqueezes the trigger, and deep-blue energy blast shot out, and went straight through the guy, but dissipated when it hit the wall. The other guard was startled awake, but he was soon hit with a followup shot.Sam pryed open one of the crates to see tons of things. Some boxes were loaded with weapons, others with airship and walker parts. He worked his way out to the front door and crakced it slightly, peering around. The runway was bustling with guards and other workmen. He heads back out the back door, and darts over to the first in a set of hangars. He slid open therear steel door, and glanced inside, seeing ships of all sorts. but none were his. He works his way to the next, then the next. In the fourth hangar, he saw his ship sitting next to a couple of walkers, this hangar was full of workers who were adding new weaponry systems onto the walkers. Sam pulls out his old cellphone and calls Alex.

Alex: ..Hello?
Sam: I found it. But the hangar is loaded with workers. Seems like they stole a couple of walkers recently too...Anybody want a walker?

Sam forces himself to laugh.

Sam: Anyway, I don't know how I'm going to pull this off, but once I get that ship airborn, give me some cover fire.

Alex: Will do.

Alex picks up the railgun and runs down the hill, back toward his ship. He hops in and gets it ready to go.

Alata: On it.

She ran off after Alex, and vaulted back into her own ship, quickly getting it started up.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Sam waits around for a worker to walk past him, he grabs the guy and yanks him behind the boxes. He cracks the guy in the temple with the butt of his Satyr and knocks him out. He grabs the guys coat which had the name "Bob" embroidered in it. He threw that on as well as the mans hat. He then casually walked into the hangar. Nobody had any second thoughts about him. He approaches one of the workers and points at his ship.

Sam: What're we doin' with this?
Worker: Boss said to strip it, he wants to ship out the parts tommorow.
Sam: Looks crowded in here to be doing that.
Worker: Yeah, I've been meaning to move it to hangar 7.
Sam: Want me to do it for you? I'm on my break.
Worker: Sure. I think the key is over on in the key box.
Sam: Alright.

Sam heads over, and grabs the keys. He hops into his ship. He pulls the hatch down and pulls out his phone again. He dials an old friend.

George: 'Lo?
Sam: George. It's Sam. No time to talk. I need you to get a ship for me.

Sam flips on a tracking beacon in the ship.

Sam: Reading the beacon?
George: Uhh...

He fumbles to his computer.

George: Yeah.
Sam: I'll be landing it about a mile or so from here. I'll need you to pick it up ASAP, you should be able to track it.
George: That it?
Sam: Yeah.
George: Alright.

Sam hangs up, and pulls his ship out of the hangar. It takes a few minutes before people notice it's heading out of the base, and they start opening fire. A couple of pilots run into hangars to get their ships.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Alex sees blaster bolts swarming into the air as a single 556A flies away from the base.

Alex: That's my cue.

He lifts off quickly and takes off full-speed over the base. Three 7.62mm miniguns open up from the B23. The B23 was a suppressive ship, and it showed. The ship moves sideways around the base, keeping heads down. He sees something moving toward him--fast. He moves out of the way just in time, and as it passes, he realizes it's a rocket.

Alex: They got rockets. I'm out of here.

He guns the engines, strafing the base one last time as he leaves. A short way away, he takes a look back at the base, which was torn to bits by the miniguns. A shack had collapsed from all of the holes ripped through it. Alex smiles.

Alex: You alright?
Sam: Yeah, we're good. I've got an old friend coming to get the ship.
Alex: Right. Didn't think about three of us getting four ships back.

A short while later, George arrives in a ship similar to the Skyloader. Alex stayed behind, but Alata and Sam had returned to the base to recover Sam's Reaver before George arrived. George can be seen leaving just as Alata and Sam return. Alex jumps back into the B23 and they all head back to town.

Alex: Want me to pay for the ammo? I might've gone a little trigger happy. These puppies go fast.

She glanced at Alex, a brow lifting as she chuckled.

Alata: Shouldn't let that get a hold of you too often. Could get yourself killed.

Sam: I doubt you could afford ammunition for that thing.

He laughs.

Sam: But don't worry about it. Right now, I'm more worried about them coming back. I'm sure they're on their way.
Alex: What are you going to do about it?
Sam: That's what was in the other aluminum case.
Alex: Eh?

Sam walks over to his Reaver, and pops open the cargo area. He pulls out the large aluminum case and opens in. Inside was a VX-9 "Striker."

Alex: ..Oh. That works.

He lightly sets it down, and loads a rocket into it, and then he sets the Striker against the Reaver. After conversing for a while, they pretty much forget about it. But just then, there was a heavy rumbling sound. They all ran outside to see a plume of smoke coming from the buildings that are to the east. The rumbling gets louder and louder, and soon a Burner is seen coming towards them, the same one that Sam saw earlier in a hangar.

Sam: ..Uh oh.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Alex, frozen with terror, looks slowly up the approaching Walker.

Alex: Uuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm...

His mouth hangs open. He snaps out of it.

Alex: Guess we better do something. Bring that bad boy down.

He turns to Sam.

Alex: See if you can hit the cockpit with that rocket. Fire and get in the air.

Alex returns to the B23, but realizes the Burner is so heavily armored that even at 9,000 rounds per minute the miniguns wouldn't do a whole lot.

Alex: Okay...

Alex, instead, runs to his cargo ship. Sam shoulders the Striker and takes aim. The Striker's computer system takes into account the speed and direction of the Walker and automatically adjusts the reticle. Sam taps the button. He moves his head away and watches the rocket for a split second before tossing the launcher back into the Reaver and getting in the cockpit.

The Striker rocket was slightly off course, entering the Walker behind the cockpit. Undoubtedly some systems blew out. Just as Alex gets his ship into the air, he sees two rockets in the Burner's launcher detonate, completely destroying the launcher and blowing a considerable piece out of the Walker itself. The Walker turns and begins shooting burning death in their direction, but doesn't hit anything important. Alex enables the weapon system and aims at the Burner's cockpit. The sound barrier breaks with a very loud boom and a web of cracks appears in the Walker's windscreen... but it doesn't penetrate.

Alex: ...Whoa.

On the Walker's other side, Sam releases two rockets at the Burner's torso. Chunks of shrapnel blow out, and one rocket lands near the cockpit, blowing out the already-compromised windscreen.

Alex: Makes Walkers not seem quite so intimidating.

Alex releases another shot from his ship's gauss cannon, entering the cockpit, barely missing the pilot, and blowing out the torso twist control. However, the arms can still move... and the left arm has an autocannon. Autocannon fire rips through the air toward Alex. Sam has already moved to the Walker's rear, which it cannot turn to. Alex tries to do the same, but the autocannon rips through his right rear engine arm, blowing out its control. Alex can no longer rotate or control the right rear engine's throttle.

Alex: Slag it. I've got big issues with my ship.

He manages to guide it into the city streets, offering cover from the Walker, but it's quite a battle to keep the ship straight.

Sam: Don't worry, I got him.

Two more missiles are deployed from Sam's Reaver. They penetrate the torso joint from behind, detonating inside.

Sam: Uhh, if anybody's nearby, get away.
Alex: Wh--

The Walker's reactor goes, taking out the entire block. The shockwave throws Sam through the air, but he regains control. Loose shrapnel flies around haphazardly, and almost no recognizable pieces of the Walker are left. There's a long silence.

Sam: Well, that was fun.

RE: A Traveller, a Cargo Hauler, and a Ship Dealer Walk Into a Bar

Alex manages to guide his ship to the back area of the dealership when his connection gives out, and he drops down to the ground and skids, tearing a ditch in the ground. The ships slides to a stop just behind the shop. Sam was in the air looking down.

Sam: Phew. 'Thought you were gonna hit the shop.
Alex: Ow. My new ship..

Alex sobs.

Sam guides the Reaver back down into the shop, and hops out. He heads out behind the shop to see Alex standing next to his ship.

Alex: I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon.
Sam: ..Yep. I can fix that, but it'll take a while to fix the arm, patch up holes, run some new wiring, and repaint the thing. But you saved my business, so I 'spose I wont charge you.
Alex: ..My brand new ship.

Sam shrugs and heads back into the shop, leaving Alex to sob. Sam is startled when he enters his shop, to see teo men standing there in black suits, black sunglasses, slicked back hair, and ear pieces.

Alex: Uh, can I help you?
Guy 1: Did you just take down that Burner?
Alex: ..Yeah..Why?
Guy 2: We're with the TCF, the Teas Covert Forces. We've been following that group of pirates for a while, but we couldn't do anything to make a move on them until they acted.
Guy 1: With the attack and destruction of that Burner, we've already entered, and aprehended everyone at their base.
Sam: ..Okay?
Guy 1: The TCF would like to recruit you into their ranks.
Sam: Eh?
Guy 2: You'd be doing reconnaisance work and such. This dealership of yours could be your cover.

Alex wanders in.

Alex: Uh.

One of the men reaches in his suit, obviously for a weapon, but the other guard stops him.

Sam: Oh, hey Alex. These guys are with the TCF or something.

Sam turns back to them.

Sam: He helped me with that Burner.
Alex: Yeah, and wrecked my ship.

He grumbles.
