Jackal growled, straining against his bonds despite the pain, he addressed the girl snidely. "No, sweetheart, I did not decide to join anyone, I was taken on by you and your pilot girlfriend, shot, then taken here." He exhaled angrily, feeling rage seethe through his body.
The raider's eyes widened with fury as Koko approached the bike, his bike, and he lashed out with his foot, thrashing violently against his bonds. "You'd better not touch that f***ing bike lady, otherwise you and me are going to have some serious issues..."

The mercenary shrugged slightly, not at all phased by the raider's angry words or threats. Brushing a bit of her wet hair behind her ear, Koko ran one hand over the motorbike, speaking half to herself,
"I dunno how long it's gunna take me to hack the code, but I'm sure I'll figure it out... then I can take her for a spin. Wonder how fast she goes?"
After a while she stepped away from the bike & picked up one of the many guns she had stashed on the Aiolos - this one happening to be a MP5-type weapon. She faced Jackal now, turned slightly to the side with the gun pointing straight at him. Her face was now deadpan, though hiding a deep rage.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't make snide comments about Zed, oh &, for the record, the bike's mine now."
(Bascially, Koko is now looking like this - http://tsukikoko.deviantart.com/art/Girl-with-a-gun-168491662?q=1&qo=1 though, she's in a towel XD)

Zed looked out of the window at the planet below them, remembering the sight from Earth's orbit when he was sent to scout it.
I wish I could go back... I wish I could tell everyone...
He sighed, then sat back down.

Jackal snarled as the girl suggested taking his bike 'for a spin'. He glared at her, his ice cold eyes burning into hers "You'll have to take me for a spin first, love."The raider sneered as the merc trained the gun on him, eyeing up the barrel dangerously, before diverting his stare back on the girl, leaning towards her calmly. "Go on then, f***n' do me, go on, right between the eyes, I dare you. However, you lay so much as a finger on that bike, and you're f***ed."
Jackal leaned back onto the thick cable. His calm collected eyes keeping contact with the girls. A snide grin crossed his lips. "Haha, nah you ain't gonna' shoot me. You lack the character girl..."

John walked to the cockpit, pausing briefly to hear the raiders shouts. He sighed, shaking his head. John knocked on the cockpit door before entering.
John saw Zed sat in his chair and cleared his throat a little.
"Er... Zed? I've kinda got a problem...."

Vance looked at the door as if to destroy it with his mind. "s**t nothings working!" Vance threw himself at the door repetedly to no success.
He sat down and sulked.
"I'm never getting outa here." he sighed deeply. The door creeked and groand and collapsed in a rusty heap on the floor infront of him. Vance stood up and looked out into the corridor in disbelief...
"DUH ********!..." Vance ran out of the room searching the corridors for people, still embarsed about his failed attempts at opening the door and was glad no one was there to see...

Zed held his jar of Earth in his hand, studying the roots of the small plant within as John entered.
"What kinda problem?"
He continued to look at the tiny plant that he'd found on Earth, lifting the jar up to the light to see through it's thin green leaves.

Koko's eyes narrowed dangerously & she breathed out sharply through her teeth, as though to stop herself from doing something reckless. Keeping the gun pointed at the raider she lowered her voice, a deadly note to it.
"I lack the character? Heh, you obviously don't know that much about me."
Angling the gun slightly, she fired off a single shot (having put the weapon into semi-auto, rather than fully-auto firing mode) into Jackal's shoulder.
Striding over quickly, she knelt down in front of the raider & slammed him backwards roughly by his throat - using her free arm. With her face inches from the raider's she snarled at him,
"I could easily kill ya without a second thought, but I'd rather drag out your sufferin' for as long as possible. Once I'm bored, maybe then I'll put ya outta your misery."

John sighed. "My weapons are back at the raider shack. I won't make a good guard if I don't have my weapons."
John frowned at the jar of dirt. "Er.... Dirt? In a jar?"

Jackal grunted, gritting his teeth as the bullet slammed into his shoulder. His body tensed up and he remained rigid and still for a few moments, blood trickling down his torso, staining it a war paint-like red.
He looked up at the girl, his face contorted with pain, but his eye's showing nothing but furious anger.
"In the shoulder, again? Please Koko, how unoriginal, even for you."He smirked, but didn't get the chance to be snide for too long, before being grabbed by the throat and slammed against the thick cable.
His cold eyes remained fixed on the girls, cracking a wide, and infuriating smile, the raider raised an eyebow, his face remaining creased up by pain and overwhelming anger.
"Out of my misery Koko? Don't you mean out of your misery?"
He exhaled through his nose, his voice hoarse.
"Cause me? I'm having the most fun I've had in years..."

Koko's face suddenly changed, the anger draining out of her face to be replaced by humour &... something else. She let out a very small laugh before pressing her gun against Jackal's stomach.
"Oh really? I'm sure you'll be havin' plenty o' fun as you watch me take apart the bike, hack the system, then drive it myself. I bet you'll love that."
Pulling the trigger on her gun, the mercenary fired a single shot into the raider's stomach, a grin spreading across her face. She released the pressure she'd had on the man's throat & grabbed his chin with one hand, turning his head slowly & preventing it from looking away from her if he slumped from her gunshot.
"I'm sure I can make your stay 'ere as fun as you can imagine."
Letting go of the raider Koko stood up, looking down at herself & sighing. There was a red stain now present on her towel from Jackal's wounds.
"Oh look, you got blood all over my towel, how inconsiderate."

Zed put the jar of earth back into his pocket then looked over his shoulder at John.
"There should be some weaponry in the armoury... but don't touch any of the railguns..."
He sighed before turning back to the controls, sending the ship into a spinning dive towards Ares.

John nodded. "Right." John walked out of the cockpit and headed towards the armoury, muttering to himself. "Bloody pilot. Those weapons came from Earth. They're not easily replaced and the weapons on Ares aren't up to scratch."
John opened the door to the armoury and looked over the weapons, picking out a shotgun, sniper rifle and an assault rifle. He also picked out some attachments for each weapon and started to modify his weapons.

Jackals grin faded, his eyes becoming threatening, defiant. "You touch that bike, b**ch, and I swear to god, you're a f***ing deat gir-"His scentence was cut off before he could finish, his face contorting with unimaginable pain as the bullet tore through his stomach.
The raider looked up furiously, this eyes burning into the girl's, filled with pain, and anger. A crooked, maniacal smile cracked his strained features. He spat blood as he spoke, "Aaargh, as soon as I get out of here, I'm gonna skin you alive b**ch..."

Zed spotted something flashing on one of his instrument panels on the navigation section of the ship's dashboard.
He stopped the ship dead and slid his chair over to get a closer look at the curious flashing thing that was benath a similar small glowing display that read 'ARES'.
Upon closer inspection, the flashing warning simply showed the word 'EXCALIBUR' along with a set of co-ordinates.
Excalibur?... But... they only light up if...
Zed hurled himself over to the navigation computers and input the co-oridinates, searching on a virtual map for any planets at that location.
My god... there is a planet there!
He grabbed a microphone then spoke over the ship's intercom/megaphone system as he prepped the ship for use of the infinate acceleration drive.
"Koko, John, get the hell up here!"
