>> Div, outer reaches of Accidian Space

The sleek, delta-shaped craft slowly crept up on the Accidian trade ship. It's Pirate-commander, Tassath, leaned forwards, cybernetic limbs making little noise.
She gave the order.
There was a devastating, utterly silent explosion. The Pirate ship moved to collect what it could from the wreck - supplies, weapons...
That could wait.
Accidian security ships were coming in to have a look.
Tassath fired a few shots at them, wheeled about, and jumped.

- Outside Navalian Gateway -

The purplish, organic Navalian ship floated, illuminated by glowing spores on its hull.
The ship was small, but could hold a small crew, and a Praetorian, had they needed to use one,
Nitaval looked around. His purple Carapaces completely different from the green carapace bestowed on the drones and guardians who crewed the small ship. Indeed, the purple Navalians body structure was different to the other Navalians, he was related directly to the General, the enigmatic leader of the Navalian Collective. However, he knew that his status only earned him more respect from the other Navalians.

Nitaval's left claw hovered over a console. He had been contacted by the General to collect a specimen for the Research Collection. A creature called the Vandal, useless to other races. But the Navalians would incorperate findings into their own Organic ship structures. Nitavals touched a control and the ship began moving on a course. He would go through the standard procedure, he would contact a band of Pirates, mercenaries or slavers to get it for them, they usually had a use for metals the Navalians found worthless. Nitaval thought momentarily but then cancelled the thought and scuttled over to one of the drones.

>> Accician Space.

With the police after her, took control of the ship.
In her command seat, she could interface directly with the ship; command it with her mind, in a way.
An exposion shook the right wing panel of the ship, but Tassath recovered it swifly.
The Accidian Gateway lay ahdead of them, ships coming and going.
Putting some distance between her and her persuiers, she stopped to pay the 50-Cred toll, and passed through.


>> Bandit Space, Trade centre in orbit of Narath.

Tassath disconnected from the ship.
Her pilot guided it to the station while she went to her private quaters.

- Near the Narath Trade Center -

The Navalian ship floated slowly towards the tradestation. The glowing purple spores making the ship stand out from the Cold metal ships.
Nitaval mused with the idea that most people with the exception of the individuals controlling the port had never seen a Navalian ship before.

Nitaval's ship glided into the trade center. He suspected the 'authorities' were aware that they were going to hire someone to recover a specimen of no value to them.

>> Narath Trade Centre.

Tassath eyed the Navalian ship.
She's seen one before, but not this close.
Impressive.
She returned to the bridge, which was a well-kept one, like the rest of the craft... Pirate ships wern't junk piles.
It took a short while for the ship, the Delta, to dock with the Trade Centre.
Inside, she knew there was accomodation, shops, ect, ect...
But there was a trade network here.
She summoned it up.
Her Clan screen was replaced with the trade room (imagine our Chatbox).

- Narath Trade Centre -

The Navalian ship docked.
Nitaval went up to a Navalian Guardian who had put on their Organic Support armour, as it was called as their exo-skeletons were already strong, and a Organic weapon though this had some metal on it. Nitaval hissed at it in the Navalians language and handed it some ammunition.

The Navalian Guardian left the ship in the organic armour, virtually hiding its features except for four, glowing yellow eyes.

>> Narath Trade Centre.

Tassath obtained what she needed; five HAVOK3 missiles (non-organic), two CLEAVER drones, (semi-organic) and a nuke - a HURRICANE1... and a pulse laser recharge. /500C

The ship, now - five hours later - noticabley spikey, undocked.
It set off at unusual speed, then turned 'up', spun about in an arc - so it faced the Nanalian ship head on.
The laser cylinders heated to white-hot.

- Narath Trade Centre, Inside Navalian ship -

Nitaval noticed a ship aiming its rudimentry weapons at them.
It did not know the fatal error it was making.
He remembered that Navalian weapons had not been fired before on a foreign race.

- Narath Trade Centre -
Something strange in the middle of the front of the ship glowed purple.
A lazer quickly sped out of middle of the jutting organic armour.
It did not hit the pirates ship, but it hit a slavers ship above it.
The lazer very slowly descended downwards, cleaning burning the other ships hull in half, though it took some time.

>> Narath Trade Centre.

The Delta-shaped ship slowed to a full halt.
Such a manuver was boastful.
The laser fired, but an explosion shook the Pirate ship.
The Police had serious nerve.
Tassath spun about and launched all five of her HAVOC3 missiles at them.

...

Stampeed.

- Narath -

The Navalian ship turned and started to randomly transmit its IFF signals.
Its engined soared and the ship flew towards the Shadian 5 Gateway.
The IFF signals seemed to change the gateway slightly, as it turned red.

>> Following Navalian Ship.

The Delta stayed with the ship, Tassath hadn't seen their gate before. Few, she guessed, had.
She had not fired on them in the six hours it took them to get this far.
She fired a single Drone to come alongside the Navalian craft.

- Navalian ship -

Nitaval had had enough with the pirates following them for the six hours.
His left claw hovered over a control and pressed it gently.

- Space -

A large container shot out of the ship and exploded.
A strange blueish machine was their, it was obviously not of any design of any of the other races but nor had it any design of being made by the Navalians.
The Praetorian floated, then fired two rockets towards the pirate ship
The Navalian ship sent out the IFF codes and they gateway momentarily turned red. They used the gateway and it returned back to normal.
The Praetorian charged its lazer.

>> Space

The drone returned.
Tassath brished the hair from her face, the one eye she had blinked. The other, mechanical... it glowed blue-green.
She raised a claw, mechanical too, and gave a command.
The Pirate ship stormed towards the Praetorian, came within a mile of the thing - it's teeth-like barbs grinning - then stopped, dissapeared on a flash.

It reapeared behind the enemy object, spun around, and fired the HURRICANE1.

- Space -

The praetorians shields went up as the missile hit.
It took the brunt of the damage. The Praetorian temporaily shut off its cooling vents so it wasn't detected on scanners. Its own armour was badly damaged though. It hid in the dark by shutting its lights off and then released a pod. It then collasped and exploded in a blueflash.
The pod flew at the ship and latched onto it.

>> Space.

The pod went unnoticed.
Tassath grunted to herself.
The ship's flag screens showed the green-ish skull, impaled with two Accidian blades (also green, as the rest of the display was) - the badge of the Bandits.
The ship nestled next to the Gate.

- Space, ET's Ship -
The four Assassins in the escape pod carefully cut a hole so they could enter.
They stepped into a room. Weapons held high.
They looked around.

>> ET8000 (Des-Tassakahn, Tassath/M126.)
>> Space, ET's Ship.

Tassath prodded the metal strip; ET8000.
The ship was the last of the Envoy of the Taassakahn 8000/class 8.
The Accidian sighed and turned down a corridor. She almost walked right into the Assassins.
Her mechanical arm folded up. A green-ish Accidian blade came forwards.

- Et's ship -

One of the Navalian assassins screeched.
The other three backed away, holding their rifles high.
A ominous voice was then heard,
"I will direct this, personally"
The lead Navalian started to glow slightly, and it looked like the skin was breaking apart. It began glowing purple in these gaps.
The Navalian got out its own organic sword, its glowing yellow eyes turned to blood red, its green insectoid body illuminated by the strange Purple glow from where the skin broke apart, charged at her.

>> ET8000 (Des-Tassakahn, Tassath/M126.)
>> Space, ET's Ship.

Some of Tassath's crew filled the passage.
Her orders and the sight of a group of the Unseen (legend name) kept them away.
The Accidian Pirate bit her thumb.

- ET's Ship -
“Progress cannot be halted.” The voice hissed. It was obviously not coming from any of the Navalians speech themselves, though it appeared to speak through the glowing Navalian. The other assassins made stranger sounds with no managable translation.
The glowing Navalian swung its sword down at the female Pirate.

>> ET8000 (Des-Tassakahn, Tassath/M126.)
>> Space, ET's Ship.

The female dodged, and the sword sliced into a clump of wiring behind a pannel.
Sparks flew upwards for a moment.
Tassath growled, she did sound mechanical... but not fully.
She slashed back at the Navalian.

- ET's ship -
The blade hit the assassin.
It scaped off some of the skin, showing a small part of robotic parts. They seemed to be as Robotic as organic.
“This body's pain is irrelevant.”
It hissed and then tried plunging the sword into the pirate.

>> ET8000 (Des-Tassakahn, Tassath/M126.)
>> Space, ET's Ship.

The Pirate sniffed like a snake.
The metal around her jaw separated into two spiney, metal mandibles.
One could see her neck had been sliced, badly.
She growled, but her impaled section did not bleed.
"..."

- Et's Ship -

The assassin pulled out its sword and turned, expected to hear something fall to the ground.
“Take what is useful, destroy the rest.”
The other assassins started shooting at the other crew members.

>> ET8000 (Des-Tassakahn, Tassath/M126.)
>> Space, ET's Ship.

Tassath growled.
She ran at the assassin from behind, then stabbed down at it's head, grabbing at it.
"You have made a terminal error!"
