Adrift in space

[nightray]

I watch the view screen as the ship grows larger all sensors saying that it’s dead in space no life sins no power readings. I smile faintly to my self as I think off the selvage that I can get off of this ship hoping that some one hasn’t gotten to it before me. My fingers move over the keys in my chares arm rest adimaticly I don’t even really notes what I’m doing its so fumiler to me. My eyes scan the read outs that constantly move over the screen over the image of the ship my finger atimadicly making the necessary adjustments.

My slick black ship pulls up to one of the bigger ships airlocks I grin as my ship jolts to a stop the robotic arms grab hold of the other ships hull securing me to it’s air lock. I watch as tendril leap out from my ships in to the dead ships hull around the air lock seaking out the power grid I smile as the other ships air lock responds cycling open. I check a few more thing then get out of my chair stretching as a satisfied smile speeds over my lips. I watch as my ships computer begins to hack in to the others mainframe readouts appear as the other ships engines are brot back on line providing it with power and letting my computer hack deeper in to its mainframe.

I frown then watching the read outs. “Ok that is odd the engines are fully operational why was she abandoned then.” I watch as system after system comes on line no evidence of a malefaction the life support is coming on just fine no foren microbis in the air to suggest a disez that could hove wiped the crew out. I sit back down in my seat disiding not to board quit yet. I launch a few probes to look over the other ships hull I sit and wait reading there reports. My frown deepens. “No damage so she wasn't attacked.” My fingers lightly tap the keys not hard enough to do annoying just a nerves habit I’ve picked up. “If it seems to good to be true…” I muter to my self tempted to disengage and leave her behind the thought of it being a trap crossing my mined.

I do a brood scan of the empty space around me looking for any telltales of a clocked ship or hidden probes but find nothing. I tilt my head as I look at the readouts agene my ship has got the other up and fully functional all systems are green and ready. I tap a few more battens disengaging from the air lock and shuttling to a near by hanger. My ship is a small cargo haler rechro fitted with a warp drive and an some what illegal clocking system it’s just enough to caring scavenged miterls but small enough to be ignored by the bigger ships of the veres other races.

I watch as the cargo bay doors open for me a force field glowing green keeping the air in as the door open. I guide my ship in with a daft hand the forsfeald letting me pass easily. I set my ship down with a light touch watching as the doors shut behind me. I frown still wondering how good of an idea this is but the chains to salvis an intyer ship is not something I’m willing to pass up it could beanogh for me to retier on. I could fainly get enough credits to buy a citizenship on one of the plesher planets and spend the rest of my life in bliss.

I stand once agene and move to the back of my ship to the air lock hitting the batten for it to cycle threw. I watch as it tests the air out side giving me a green light as the doors open directly in to the cargo bay. I walk out my hand on my blaster ready to draw at a moments notes as a probe fallows me out the black sfear rotating giving off soft beeps and chirps as I walk to the nearest door stopping as it opens for me.

I walk threw the abandoned halls of this seemingly abandoned ship finding know evades of life or that there has ever even been any life on it. I finly make it to the breag stopping just in side the door my eyes moving over the different stations. It looks like there should be four people running the brig including the captes seat. I walk around the breag looking at the different stations. I shake my head as I realize that all the read outs are in my native langig.

“That’s odd I haven’t seen my langwig used in a long time. I don’t even use it on my ship any more.” I muter to my self as I move to the captains chare and take a seat. My scanner probe hovering near the door making its constant sounds as it continues to scan the immediate area. I look down at the arm rest seeing a small read out screen and keypad.

I punch in a few commands watching the read outs as the ship dos it’s own self diagnostic every thing coming back ready to go. I frown slightly as I read trying to finger out what happened. “Why did your crew abandon you?” I say softly to my self.

OOC MM forgot this is quite open.

I look down at the small screen above the armrest key pad frowning at a series of messages flashing by faster then I can read. My eye’s open wide then as I feel something stab in to the back of my scull pain ripping threw my body as every mussel in my body goes rigged. Threw the pain I hear a sound like voices coming from a dissents. I grit my teeth as I concentrate on the voices trying to block out the pain then as suddenly as it started it stops…

I sit in the seat every mussel in my body still rigged tears falling from the corners of my eyes. I begin to relax slowly still hearing the voice. I blink as I realize that the voice is the ship it’s AI is talking to me throe my brain is still too fried to understand what it is saying. My right hand finely obeahs my commands and moves up to feel the back of my head. I freeze agene as I feel a peace of metal about as around as the tip of my pinky. I gingerly press at it wincing as its still sour.

“I wouldn’t do that just yet caption.”

My head jearks up as I look around for the source of the voice but I see no one. “Who’s there?” I say quietly my eyes darting looking for danger.

“It’s just me caption.” The voice ses agene in a sultry feminine voice. “I’m the ship.” The voice sounds amused at my confutation. “You are the first to com aboard sins I was made so I have placed the implant so you may take command. It has been a very long time it’s about time they finely sent me a caption.”

I frown my eyes on the view screen as my mind works fast. I’d never herd of this kind of technology before AI yes but the thing in my head no. “I wasn’t sent my race as been all but wiped out. I didn’t even know this ship was created by my people until I came aboard.” I say softly wondering what her reaction would be.

There is silence for a long minute before she finely answers. “Well you are my caption now if the race has been decimated then you are as good a choice as any.” Her voice is low and sad sounding if I didn’t know better I would swere she was crying for the loss. “Are you alone?” She asks after another pose. “I sense no other life syncs.”

I shrug. “Ya I’m alone I’m a salvager I work alone to cut down on overhead.” I chuckle softly. “Thou by the looks of it if I’m going to be your new caption I will need a few people to help your to big for me to take car of alone.”

As I talk a read out begin to appear in front of me but there not on the screen it takes me a few moments to realize that it’s the implant using my optic nerves to create the elusion of the read outs so it’s eser for me to understand the informion that it’s giving me. I frown as I concentrate on it and readout begin coming up as I think of what I want to see. I razes an eyebrow as I realize that I have a direct link in to the ships computer. My eyes widen yet agene as I realize that there are nano bots all over the ship dormant until needed to repair or up grade any part of the ship. I bring up a quick read out on them finding that not only do they repair the ship but when a new technology is in countered and found to be superes or more efficient then what the ships is already using the thing will emedeutly integrate it. I smile as I see that the clocking devise on my ships has already been analyzed and added to this ships technology’s.

“Very nice.” I say softly to my self.

“Thank you” the AI retorts her voice sounding pleased and very prod of her self.


OOC: Ok I need the a crew and the AI she has an anatomically correct very realistic feeling android body that she can use. Winks. Any takers? Oo and the raise in question is humans they where nearly wiped out in a grate wore that has left many races divested if not wiped out completely.

I sit in the chair for a long wile going over the data streaming past my inner eye analyzing and learning all I can about the ship’s capabilities. Then I cas the streaming info to stop as my eyebrow razes. “Did you know there is some cryo tubes with people in them on board.” I say out loud to the AI.

There’s a pos before she answers. “No I didn’t know there where there caption not until you pointed it out to me. I find no info on who they are or why they are on board.” Her voice sond just as confused as I feel.

“Well I gess now is as good a time to find out as any don’t you think?” I smile as I stand stretching my arms over my head getting rid of the stiffness that has settled in.

I silently walk down the halls the readouts still scrolling more slowly now as I’m concentrating on where I’m going. I finely find the med lab and the cryo tubs. I step up to the first one wiping away the dust coving the glace plate over the face. I look in frowning before looking at the readopts. Trying to figer out who this one is. I look at the other tubs my finger on my lip taping slowly at I try to think what to do.
