*Noticing the way the girl had eyed her blaster almost hungrily, Lars held out a nervous hand in return.
"Lars. I guess you must be a tourist too - here for the lovely scenery."
She jumped at a slithering metallic sound in the distance. Surely those metal bugs hadn't followed her?
"Look, it's probably not a good idea to stay here..." she looked at the girl, wondering if she could trust her. At least she wasn't too big, in a pinch she could probably knock her out. Not that she'd had to fight anyone in a long time. She sighed at her own weedy build - but better a strange humanoid than an angry cyberman...
"I need to find either the control room or my ship. Preferably both. And some quite nasty cyborgs are already after me, so I could really do with help..."
She left the hint hanging and headed for the exit. Blasting the lock off the cell door, she turned to see if Sephy was following.*

*Sephy followed after her.
'So, what are the cyborgs and how do I kill them?' She asked.
'And where am I?'
She thought to herself. The lady thought that she wanted her blaster.
She smiled faintly. 'You needn't grip your weapon so tightly, I won't hurt you... Unless you do something stupid.'*

*a faint beeping noise can be heard in the distance, more cybermats come quickly sweeping across the floor towards lars and sephy, they have there tails in the air pointed directly at lars head, they have annalysed her stats and decided that she is the biggest threat currently*

*Shocked by Sephy's thinly veiled threat, Lars doesn't have time to answer before the Cybermats are upon them. She dodges a laser blast, shoving Sephy in the opposite direction to keep her clear. As she does so the laser blaster whirls out of her hand and across the floor. Cursing, Lars rolls behind a desk as more shots are fired.
"Get the gun!" she shouts at Sephy, "And I have no idea how you kill them - I haven't managed a clear shot yet!"*

*one of the cybermats blows a hole in the desk and another scrapes lars arm. As the cybermat does this all the other cybermats levetate into the air and float aver lars, the final cybermat levetates over sephys head*

*Lars clutches her arm to her stomach and huddles into a ball. The horrible beeping of the cybermats makes her ears hurt. She knows she's surrounded. Holding her breath, she waits for the killing blow.*

*sephy somersaulted backwards under the levitating cybermat, pulling two flick knives from seemingly nowhere. They were barely in her hands before she threw them. One lodged in the cybermat, the other sheared clean through it's head. It exploded.
The rest of the Cybermats suddenly realise she is more of a threat than Lars(at the present, anyway), so they turn around, Beeping madly.
'Now YOU get the gun!' Shouted sephy, as she pulled her sword, also seemingly from nowhere.*

*Lars doesn't think she just rolls for her gun. Three cybermats. She grabs the gun and fires three shots. Two hit the mark and the fallen cybermats drop to the floor, oozing a strange foam-like substance. The last only manages to knock off an antennae. She flattens herself to the ground as it fires at her. Her arm is in agony and she feels the heat as it's shot sears across her back. She rolls sideways, leaps up and grabs the nearest thing to hand - a chair. She hurls it at the cybermat and it smashes across the creatures body. As it shoves its way up through the wreckage Lars fires her gun in a panic. Eight successive shots hit it and it drops, lifeless, to the floor. She sinks to her knees with a sigh.
After taking a few minutes to catch her breath she realises that Sephy is not as dead as she looked. She had already recovered and was opening her eyes, though her foot looked in pretty bad shape and her hand... it was best not to look at her hand. Lars looks from the girl to the cybermat that had been sheared in half by one of the deadly blades that was now protruding out of it's back. That was not a weapon she'd want to get on the wrong end of. Even the pirates got nervous about assassin weapons... She looks back at the girl, considering her options. She could leave. But wasn't it better to have an assassin on her side than on theirs? Eventually she rolls her eyes and walks over.
"Are you okay?" *

*Suddenly, Lars and Sephy hear a rumbling noise which gets louder and louder. All at once, the wall bursts open, as if hit by an extreme force. A strange creature drags itself from the wreakage, carefully folding its hudge, batlike, wings. Its pierceing amber eyes scrutinise them for a moment or two. Suddenly it bursts into flames, the fire seeming to reshape itself. Where the creature stood, now stands a strange girl. Both Lars and Sephy can see that she is no ordinary girl. Batlike wings spread outwards from her shoulders, and she has a pointed tail and claws which she cauasly reveals and retracts. Seeing thier startled expressions, she grins and bows saying:
"Greetings, strangers. I am Firestorm, a Dragonman from the planet of Pern. I have come to battle the cybermen."*

*Open mouthed, Lars stares at Firestorm.
"Never mind you..." she mutters to Sephy, "I think I must have caught a blow to the head..." she closes her eyes, rubs her forehead, counts to ten and opens her eyes again. Firestorm is still there. She sighs.
"So do YOU know where the control room is then?" *

*sighing, Firestorm shakes her head.
"But i do know how we can find it! As a Dragonman i have very strong senses, and i know what a cyberman is like when i sense it. All we have to do is go to the place where there are the most Cybermen!"*

Mmm hmm.
*sephy Silently got as much of her melted sword as she could off her hands. Underneath, the skin was red raw. she reached inside a pocket, and took out a pair of gloves, which she put on.
'Perhaps, perhaps not. The cybermen could be looking for us. which could mean that there are more outside the control room than there are inside. But then again, I might be wrong. I seem to be wrong quite a lot lately.'
She gingerly took a step toward the dragonman, and winced.
'Hi. I'd shake hands with you, but it would hurt too much.'*
Where the hell is the doctor?

((I think the Doctor maybe dead at the moment. I certainly wouldn't rely on him turning up anytime soon.))
*Lars reaches into her pocket and pulls out her computer. Tapping a button, she brings up the map of the ship and holds it out towards Firestorm.
"Point out the control room... err... please..." *

* Firestorm takes the computer from her and studies it. Then she closes her eyes, concentrating. She begins to glow with a strange light, which gets brighter and brighter. Then it slowly diminishes until she is back to normal. She looks at the computer again and marks the control room.
"In case you were wondering what was happening to me, i detached my sprit from my body and hitched a lift on a Cybermat, which was heading towards the control room. I memorised the route and brought my sprirt back."*
