Vladimir went to work to try and download any important information from the ship's computer system. This was going to take about 24 hours with the Trent was was going to need about 20 hours to assess the total damage done to the ship. Domic was working his way around the ship heading to the captains quarters to determine if any important information could be found. Captain Lucas and Dr. Scarlett Cannon went looking through all the low births looking for the 15 live forms that sensors had picked up when Jean did a sensor scanner on the damaged ship. As this progress was going on about an hour into the process while Captain Denniston observed two more Aslan approaching the ship with the ten scientist in slave collars heading towards the Aslan ship. As the Aslan noticed the Shenanigans next to their ship the two Aslan ran back to the crews quarters of the scientist to grab their weapons that were left behind. Jean Pierre got on the coms asking if Vladimir could get to the ship turrets to try and shoot them. Vladimir getting his remote computer to use the turrets fired on the Aslan hitting one killing him immediately with the effect of the blast killing the other Aslan, and unfortunately killing two scientist as well.

As Jean apologized to the scientist for the accidental death of there colleagues. Captain Denniston started receiving comms from the passengers rooms wanting to know why the laser cannon had been fired. Most of the passengers took at his word and left him alone. Leola was asking more pertinent questions and wanting answers. Captain Denniston informed her of the Aslan ship that was in dock one and the crew was handling it. This upset Leola more because was the possible slave ship that had took out her Salvage Rose. Captain Denniston tried to assure her that things were under control and not to worry about it.

To the Rescue

As the party recovered from the conflict with the Aslan Grabbing his armor and weapons. The party decided to dump out in space through the air lock. Dr. Cannon took care of the clean up with the brain manner and body parts that were splattered all over the hallway of the passengers living area. Other than that the rest of the jump went off without a hitch. Unfortunately because of the circumstances and clean up involved by all crew members no training got done. Arriving into the 567-908 system Morpheus warns Captain Lucas that unauthorized transmission was received on the Shenanigan's. Captain was able to located the source of what received the transmission which was Evok personal computer that he was carrying. Vladimir was able to hack into the computer and find out it was in Aslan. Elliot using his stun gun translation program was able to do basic translation of messages being sent to Evok and and Aslan named Kerk. Evok was reporting his progress of tracking down the escaped crew members of the Salvage Rose. He was sure that he had found the XO but could not confirm. He had told Evok that he was on the Shenanigan's and was heading to 567-908. Kerk informed Evok that where they were at could not fix the ship. Turned out that the Salvage Rose had done a number on the Aslan slaver ship. The 2.75 hours that it would take to travel from High Guard to the planet of 567-908 the crew come up with several ideas depending on where the Aslan Slaver ship was. Arriving on the planet the crew spotted the badly damaged slave ship on dock one. As Jean Pierre landed the ship the plan went into place as Vladimir once again hacked into to the badly damaged slaver ship. Taking control of the ships systems released the tranq gas on the crew putting them out for nine minutes as the crew went to work as Jean Pierre made sure these slavers will never get another slave again. Vladimir also discovered that there was 15 life forms in the low birth. Dr. Cannon and captain Lucas went to the low birth to get these passengers back.

Two Pirates on our ship !!

Well the first day on the new spaceship has been a busy one. A passengers cargo container was broken into with a chain sword and the crew was investigating who or what might have it. Its 18:30 the crew meets for dinner Valdimir express his concerns over trusting the pirate Scar face who has been put in her room for the time being with Domic standing guard outside her room. As the crew still discuss the possibility of a stowaway on the ship plans are made to do a through investigation of the ship including the duct's that ships air supply run through and the ducts for the have all the wire harness as well. Captain Denniston runs a computer check on the wrist bands in the past 24 hours where is determined that scar face is the one that was rummaging through the Aslan container. It is then decided that more questions are to be asked of her to make sure that she is telling the truth or does she have ulterior motives. Trent strongly suggest that the pregnant Vargr is somehow involved in this and needs to be talked to or investigated. Jean Pierre says if that pregnant Vargr is involved with this I will eat my shoe. Now let get this done it getting late and I want to go to bed on time. The security team is sent to retrieve Scarface with a plan to tranquilize her so the rest of the passengers will thing that the injuries sustained before arriving on the Shenanigan's is worse and that she needs to go to sick bay. As this meeting is going on The Aslan Evok approaches Domic to enquire about the women in side asking is she sick. Is she a danger to the ship. Do the captain know who she is. Domic keeping his cool gives no pertinent information to the Aslan. Scarface goes with the plan allowing herself to be tranquilized by Dr. Cannon and taken to sickbay for further questions and request that her hope chest comes with her. She shows no resistance in this process and willing goes to sickbay. Elliot does another through search of the room finding nothing in the room. While this is going on Leola the pregnant Vargr checks on the poor injured woman and show concern for the human woman. Asking Elliot caring question on the women. Elliot wanting to take advantage of the situation with no one around to question his motive starts asking questions about her pregnancy, including if she know if its a girl or a boy. Leola says she has no idea and that she is having a litter and wasn't sure how many she was going to have. Elliot wanted to touch her belly and see if he could feel the litter kicking explaining that humans do this all the time when the baby is far enough along. Leola looking at the human and feeling uncomfortable declined to allow this to happen. As Leola went back to her room Elliot locked up the state room and set the alarm on the room. He then returned back to the crew area. As the crew met to discuss the finding of the search of the ship for the possible stowaway Morpheus alerted Jean Pierre of the someone trying to tamper with the lock to Scarfaces door. Jean Pierre went to the security system and caught on camera the Aslan Evok trying to break into the room. Announcing over the ships intercoms that he needs to go back to his room and stop trying to break into the room. Evok runs back to his room in shame. Jean Pierre then gives orders to secure Evok and bring him to the brig. Captain Lucas and Domic are sent to retrieve Evok. When they arrive Evok does not resist and follows them to the hatch that leads to the cargo area where he ambushes Captain Lucas pretty hard in two devastating attacks knocks the captain unconscientious. Then turns on Domic and does some deadly damage to him as well. This sets off the ships security alarms locking all passengers in there rooms and other crew members responding to the situation. Elliot grabs a med kit, Jean runs as fast as he can to the area with weapon at the ready as soon as he was in position Soriluss grabs a rifle out of the ships locker and follow suit. Vladimir meanwhile increased the gravity in the hall way where the incident was taking place pinning both Domic and Evok to the deck as other crew members moved into position. Once every one was in position Vladimir turned the hallway to zero gravity every one getting shots off at Evok doing damage to the Aslan. Some hit some missed Soriluss doing the most damage with the rifle from the ships locker that was not effected by the zero gravity. Then a energy weapon could be heard coming from the hall way where the passengers staterooms are a look of bewilderment comes across Jean Pierre face as he realizes who fired the pistol and that Elliot was right. Blowing the head of the Aslan to shreds. As the conflict ended now there was just clean up and more questions. Elliot stripped the Aslan of it Armor and weapon. Dr. Scarlett Cannon immediately gave medical aid to Captain Lucas and Domic.

As the three investigated the cargo container it was discovered that the lock had been cut with a chain sword. Morpheus coming across the ships intercom in the computers voice announcing that they would be jumping in two minutes. After a successful jump Jean Pierre called a meeting in the crew common area to discuss the new situation. The crew began discussing what possibilities and theory's of the cargo container. The crew decided that there was a possibility of a stowaway on the ship. Elliot and Valdimir went to engineering to check every nook and cranny and check the security cameras in the past 24 hours of any one possibly sneaking on the ship.
