"captain." kryxel said nodding and reconising that she would want to be incognito. "get onboard so that we can get you back to the ship."

Jad raised an eyebrow, "I hope that's power armor. If it's cybernetics, I'd say you were ripped off."
saluting the captain, "a pleasure but I was to pick up a Captain Nina Armstrong, as the GPS states..."
"Anyways, are the other two coming as well?" Jad asked, "If so, we'll have quite a group when we go after the treasure..."

Nina frowned. "Kryxel... I'm the captain, remember. Please don't bark orders at me... I guess it's useless to try to fool you, then." She said now to Jad. "I'm actually Nina Armstrong... And, what are you talking about? What treasure?"

Jad blinked, "Well, you ever hear of the Midas, a legendary luxury liner deemed lost 50 years ago?"
He smiled, "or have you, by any chance, heard of me? Jad, the treasure hunter who appears every hundred years, gets a few others, and they get rich? Anyway, the cat here said I had to pick you guys up before we went after it. I mean, splitting it is fine and all, as long as we get there soon..."

"I have an entire crew waiting for me... I can't just abandon them for a treasure hunt." Nina sighed. For some reason, it was now she realized that she hadn't eaten for almost 2 days.

Jad smiled, "actually, I thought I was going to bring you back to your ship, then we go after the treasure. It'd be better if I had the Atlantis with me, since we'd be able to... oh geez... lost my train of thought... hang on..." He grinned and spun his chair around, "right! more firepower in case we get found!" He leaned over a cupholder, frowning at the empty cup. Spinning around, he faced the kitchen and jumped into it. his voice called from the ship interior, "I'm getting a drink of Vaxian Death drought, anyone want anything from the kitchen?"

"No thank you." Nina replied. "If you can bring me back to the Atlantis first, then I suppose it would be fine... I'd have to inform my crew first. And another thing. How can I trust you? For all I know, you could be a bounty hunter or a pirate!"

Jad smiled, "My ship is alien in design and highly advanced. The Empire hates me for meddling in their affairs when I was just taking what was mine. I am horrible at fighting anyways... Why would I want to be a bounty hunter? Sure, my ship is wonderful and all, being the advanced stealth fighter it is, but I really have problems with actually getting someone even if I offer them cash..." Jad laughed.
"there's no reason to trust me other than the fact I deliberately avoided hitting you with my ship, and my word."

The Alacrity skipped over the water, pieces of metal debris shot in every direction. The small cruiser began bouncing higher and higher, its velocity seeming to increase, if that were possible.
Suddenly, the water came to and end and the ship was flying over the city. The bow (front?) caught on a particularly tall building, causing the ship to flip vertically high into the air.
Anyone watching this would have been stunned. A few might even tell, later in a story to their friends, that they had heard a faint but very clear male voice cursing in an alien language.
The ship was still moving at high speeds, flipping through the air, when it crashed straight through the walls of the hangar containing the Atlantis.

Dr. Len cowered on the ground, his breath a litany of prayers for his life. As a scientist, he was more used to the near-perfect fortress of the secret labs in the sentinel system. His harness flashed blue briefly, but it didn't do anything other than show it's instability.

"...the hell?" Matt breathed to himself. Jumping up, he ran and grabbed the scientist before rushing into the more-secure interior of the ship - moments before impact. Rosa would have to fend for herself.
((Don't worry, it's not gonna do much damage - to the Atlantis. The tiny cruiser, however, is going to be totaled. And the hangar wall took most of the force away.))
CRASH!!!

Len protested being grabbed, but as the Atlantis shook with the impact he was silent.
"th-this is the biggest Imperial ship constructed... it should be fine from impact unless exterior repars were neglected the past few years...

Matt gave Dr. Len an incredulous look. "With our captain? I wouldn't be half surprised!" As they picked themselves off the floor, Matt stomped it (the floor) as he noticed that his game was crushed.
Marth unbuckled himself from the emergency harness. He knew the crash wouldn't have hurt him or Maggie too badly, but even with an emergency harness the human captain might be dead. He slowly crawled out of the small cockpit space, it being even smaller from being crushed - if that were possible.
