"Well we don't have too terribly many of them, most of the ships weapons are new models, your free to join us but I don't think you'd really find what your looking for."

Jack went to stand in line at the recruitment desk. He had a curious look on his face as he looked around the dock, almost as if he was seeing something behind the walls. Then he took a vial of purplish blue gas out of his bag and looked at it as if remembering something...

John Faraday finally decided to check out the ship docked at the port. It looked smaller than the craft he had been given command of, much smaller. Maybe a corvette or something.

"Ah, it's been too long since I've been on a ship..." John smiled to himself. He went to the bridge and checked it out. It seemed very different from the bridge he had been in during the war. It was much more high-tech, albeit much smaller. Designed for perhaps 7 or 8 people, instead of 20 to 24. He then proceeded to check the PA system. "Testing... Testing..." A loud screeching feedback noise sounded, but then he could clearly hear his voice across the ship. It would have to do. Finally, he went up the stairs to go and check his bunk.

He increased the resolution of his implants to 100%, the image suddenly became clearer, it was not a blob, it had a ovoid head, triangular torso, and four long, thick legs, it was one of the predators that inhabited his home planet. He pulled out his Colt45, everybody in the room heard thumping coming from the North West. Jacob aimed his gun at the alien's head and fired. A loud report shattered the silence in the room, everybody heard the sound of a heavy corpse falling on metal.
Jacob ran to the corner and opened his Swiss Army Knife, he chose the Philips Screw Driver and unscrewed the four screws holding the panel up, the section of wall fell down towards him, he dodged it. Light filled the maintenance corridor allowing everybody to see the corpse of the alien. He exclaimed "Somebody tried to kill me! All of us! It could be the Mafia on Sierra 5, they are the only ones who try to use these predators for assassinations." Just as he finished, two more aliens jumped into the room, one landed on Jacob, pinning him to the floor, he opened the cutting blade and jabbed into the alien.
Uh, no. Unless Tsarka gave you permuission to post that, just no.

Ben looked up sharply at the sound of the PA crackling. He decided to take a glance around the ship, so he would know where to go if something went wrong. Pausing in the corridor, he checked which rooms were ocupied and which were not. Then he took a stoll through the galley, amoury and engine room, familiarizing himself with the layout. Lastly, he headed for the bridge to check the computer blocks.

Entering the bridge, he immediately spotted John and greeted him.

"Hello, sir. what position are you applying for?"

"Pilot. You?"

"Engineer. Looks like you've been in battle a few times, eh?"

"Pilot of the Swrod of Ragnarok in the war."

"Good, good." One person I can probably trust, at least . . .

Ben then headed for the computer access panels. Pulling out a screwdriver, he undid the fastenings and poked his head through the opening. Dang it, so cluttered . . . I'll tidy things up back here once we're in flight. He noted the locations of the communications wiring, weapons systems, and navigation calaculators. Satisfied, he pulled his head out, then put it back in. He plucked a small device from his belt and set it up in the crawlspace. Then he refastened the door and returned to his room.

Opening up his computer, he tapped the signal coming from the device and watched little arrows and lines bounce across the screen. Soon, those arrows would reveal to him the electrical working sof this ship . . . what was it called again? The 'Last Evangelon' . . . He'd check on the ship stats later.

(OK, Tsakra gave me permission to post)
Jacob was getting thirsty from carrying his bag of books and from sweating due to the room being hot, so he walked to the vending machine on the wall, reached into his pocket and took out a few Credits and bought a bottle of water.

After having familiarised himself with the ship layout, Richard proceeded to hide the guns on a few select places.
He then headed for the kitchen but noticed the fridge was empty.
"Heh..looks like somebody forgot to do some shopping."
There were some supplies left in the other one so he quickly whipped up several sandwiches. He ate two and packed the rest, putting them on a visible place in case someone else was hungry.

As he headed back towards the room he pondered on the lack of internal defensive systems. He had two high-capacity M-10 deployable mini-turrets in his bag. Sure, AI and detection sensors sucked due to minituarization, so once activated it would shoot on anything in front of it, but if installed right at the dock points they might come in handy. He'd have to talk with one of the engineers about attaching them to the roof....would give the turrets a better field of fire and clog the corridor less.

Shruging, he entered his room and looked at the datapad again..time to check upon the ship.

Jacob was wandering around the ship, so his first destination was the kitchen as he was getting hungry.
"I had to skip breakfast to be able to sign up. Now I'm getting hungry, ahh! well, one of Newton's laws states that: for every action there will be an equal and opposite reaction"
He wandered into the kitchen and found a sandwich, he took one and unwrapped it, he bit into it and his eyes grew wide as he realized in horror, that there was mayonnaise in it.
"Oh crap! Mayo!
He dropped the sandwich and tried to find the clinic, he was sneezing profusely, his face was red and had lumps all over it.

(BTW call my character Jake)
