((Hades will be fine, Shade. Thanks.))
Amneiger saw Hades turn the corner and enter the corridor he was in. He immediately stepped away from the wall and went over. "Hello Hades. If you don't mind my asking, what happened back there? It looked like somebody broke the door down."

((You're welcome.))
As Hades turned the corner, he saw Amneiger step forward and say, "Hello Hades. If you don't mind my asking, what happened back there? It looked like somebody broke the door down."
“Someone did. I’m not sure why, but X broke down the door to Zarah’s room, and by the time I arrived, they were insulting each other. They stopped about when Security arrived, wanting to know what the loud bang was. The bang was why X had broken down Zarah’s door in the first place. Other than that, you’d need to ask wither X or Zarah. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’d like to get back to installing my computer.” Hades stepped around Amneiger, continuing towards his room.

The drones look to X "Sir?"
Zarah's foot taps impatiently of its own accord. She just wants everyone out of her room before questions are asked about the weapons.. not that it is illegal for a mercenary to have weaponry in their room.. but still, weapons like them...
Zarah's impeccable hearing picks up the faintest strains of two voices outside and a few doors down.. Hades and.... hm... Amneiger? Eugh. The last thing she needed right now..
"Look, just call maintenance and get them up here now."
The drone looks about to reply when an ear piercing siren fills the hall " WROOOOOOP! WROOOOOOOP! This is an Important Announcement! WROOOOOOOP! The Station is under Attack. WROOOOOOOP! WROOOOOOOP! All fleet pilots and technicians report to the Level C Deck Port Immediately! All Mercenaries report to the Level J Deck. WROOOOOOOP! WROOOOOOOP! WROOOOOOOP! This is NOT a Drill! "

Zari's golden eyes widened as the siren began wailing. Zari tapped gak, and her equipment shrunk and fitted into her satchel. Her furniture, once also shrunk, fitted into another satchel similar to the first. Once well clear of anyone who might understand the language she was speaking in, she spoke into her wrist computer. 'Dani, We haven't been discovered, I don't think. Even then, we aren't going to do anything apart from possibly quietly arresting someone.'
'*bzzt* Okay. They're shutting down outside comm, I can't get anymore than *bzzt* this.' Dani shut down the commlink as Zari made her way to C deck. Zari herself counted as a technician, as she had experience with shuttles and their nasty ways. 'What's going on?' she inquired

As the announcement rang through the station, Hades stopped, hand on his door, and started swearing. He ran the list of things he'd need through his head, and decided that if he needed armour, they'd probably have some down on the J deck. Snapping an order to his door to stay shut and locked until he got back, Hades raced down the corridors, quickly arriving at the J deck.
A quick glance around was enough to know that almost nobody knew what was going on. Hades sighed, and shouted, "Does anyone know were we're being attacked?"

Huh. That was unfriendly, thought Amneiger as Hades walked off. Maybe Keng would be a bit less hostile...
Amneiger's thoughts were suddenly cut short when the siren sounded. Well, as a robotics scientist they would probably want him at C deck to help with repairs and such. He ran back to his room and opened up the boxes that were on the floor. He hefted what looked like a suitcase-sized tackle box out of one; it held most of his tools and equipment. Would he need the heavier things? No, this should be enough; if necessary he could get more at the port. Amneiger headed out the door and made his way to C deck.
C deck was chaos, people everywhere milling about and shouting. Amneiger craned his head and saw what looked like an officer giving orders to some uniformed mechanics. When the other mechanics had left, Amneiger made his way to the officer. "I'm from Robotics. Anywhere you need help?"

Zari noticed Amneiger and hurried over. 'We're under attack? By who? What? Whenwherewhy? Am I needed? Do you want me to shuttup now?' she said, already taking out the kit she used for repairing ship computers. Mind, Zari didn't think the officer would actually take her seriously. Most people weren't used to underage mechanics.

((okay, I cant run this whole fight on mah own.. feel free to create enemies for yourself and for others to fight (eg pick a sparing parter) You can control your own captains if you want I described the Togorian Pirates for ya.. they dont go down easily and have heavy armor. They can talk but only in fractured english.. I borrowed them from Star Wars hehe.. A Karanadon is um.. hm.. well a sort of giant werewolf type thing.. www.matthewreilly.com/images/contest/movie_b1tn.jpg is its head so you get an idea.. not the man, the monster  its about 10 ft tall, with huge arms that drag on the ground, a wolf like tail, wolf like legs and body.. so basically yeah a werewolf monster type thing. Very bad tempered, great hunters, are hunting animals, like an alien hunting dog really, cant be controlled except by their inhibitor collars and even then... Try not to get yourselves killed fighting these The Karanadon's are on loan from Matthew Reilly's book 'Contest'  )) The drones run away instantly and people scatter all over the joint. Zarah sighs and looks to X "we'll continue this another time. Good luck out there." She turns and growls, lifting the heavy metal door back on her own. Sealing it in place to protect her weapons and armor, she turns and runs towards J deck.. not worrying about armor for its restriction on her.. skills. It takes her a mere glance outside into space to recognize the attacking ships.. Togorian Space Pirates. Think of them as giant (3 meters tall), anthropomorphic saber tooth tigers with nasty attitudes, big swords and even bigger guns, add in a lust for blood and cash and we've got a real fight on our hands. This however, doesnt seem to bother Zarah, as she steps along side Hades... that is until a last warning WROOOOOP! alerts them to the breech on Level F... One or two techs run by screaming something about Kar-a-dons.. It is then that Zarah's eyes widen and she swears aloud with feeling "Karanadon's!?... they'll tear the place apart! Inhibitor collars or not! Hades.. we're in trouble" |

“Of course we are! We’re under attack. Do you know what’s attacking us?” Hades asked, ignoring the breech. That was the engineers problem, not his. “Not the name, the capabilities, and where they’re likely to attack.” The confusion was getting organized, as people found their commanders. Hades, having not yet been assigned, decided to stick with Zarah. They’d both have a better chance of survival this way.

((Just so you all know- This Zari can shrink, enlarge, and shift the shape of other things, but not herself. She's also telepathic/telekinetic))
Zari grabbed a spanner and aimed at the nearest enemy ship, throwing the tool hard, and watching as it immediatley melted and stuck to the side of the ship. Excellent. Now for the breach on F Deck, Zari, without thinking, unfolded her wings and flew over to said deck, fumbling in her satchel for something that could stretch agaiinst the breach. She pulled out Clingwrap. Huzzah, people, Clingwrap to the rescue. Zari turned the roll into metal and threw it at the nearest...wolf-thing. She then flew back to C deck and crawled into a ship, turning the computer on, then frowning and using a small amount of acid to open the sealed-shut control centre. 'Holy moly, do people ever think about trashing this sort of thing?' she muttered, before getting to work.

((I haven't read Contest, but judging from your description I'm going to assume that Karanadadons are big and mean, but rather stupid.
Now if I can only figure out a way to put stuff from my own favorite science fiction ... things ... into here somehow...))
Amneiger saw a security drone stumble in from an adjacent hallway, smoke issuing from a hole on its back. Why couldn't these pirates have attacked tomorrow after I had unpacked my tanks? The drone staggered sideways out of the line of fire as three human troops dashed over to the hallway and opened fire; Amneiger took the opportunity to begin patching up the drone.
A loud boom reverberated through the room, shaking a number of people off their feet.
Boom.
Boom.
BOOM.
Screeeeech.
One of the interior walls began bulging inward as if something on the other side was pushing against it.
With a loud rending of metal a huge section of the wall was torn away. A massive ... werewolf thing ... stood in the breach, howling.
This got the attention of most of the bay, which began firing at the monster. This scarcely seemed to faze it as it began to try to get into the deck port. One footstep crushed a stack of crates into wood splinters.
Forget trying to get repairs done, if this thing isn't stopped they won't matter.
Amneiger lifted his camera flash and fired at the monster's eyes. Let's see how well you fight when blind.

((go for it Amneiger! sounds good! Youve also got the hang of a Karanadon, good work:) Um do you want me to respond as the karanadon or will you continue to play it? or someone else?)) *giggles* is zari also.. slightly.. not all there? Hurrah for clingwrap!)) "Yes... And you dont understand" she shakes her head "Karanadon's are monsters, literally. And under the control of Togorian Pirates, this place will be stripped of every asset...Every.. Valuable.. Asset.." she looks up at Hades "Togorians are merciless.. they are also Slavers.. if we loose this fight, the entire port will become a slave market.. those that survive anyway." She pauses, watching the chaos slowly begin to organize itself around them. Not fast enough. "Come on, we stand a better chance on our own, and we'll go find Keng too. Trust me, a small group has a better chance of getting past those creatures." As she starts to jog away she talks quickly over her shoulder "They'll go for the teams lead by Commanders and Commandos first. Thats why we dont want to be anywhere near them. Then they'll work their way towards the city center, knock out the power, disable the escape shuttles and shut down all communication points. After that, they'll split into two groups," she stops for a barrage of gunfire aimed at a Karanadon beast, pummeled with fire it falls over with a BOOM that shakes the floor, dead. "One of those groups will go for the Captains.. Leoness and Strife.. they will go to any lengths to secure a surrender.... The other team will already be gathering survivors and annihilating any further resistance. Their pilots will remain outside the port, picking off any of our pilots who try to play hero.. however they will try to keep those ships in tact, thats where our pilots may have the advantage." She stops again, looking up at Hades with ice in her eyes "Ive seen them work this process flawlessly too often to even hope that they'll slip up somewhere. But then again, theyve never faced the NTWF Spacefleet." A brief smile crosses her face. By now both she and Hades are around the same level Amneiger is on. She sees the flash go off and the Karanadon shake its head from side to side, trying to clear its vision. Its inhibitor collar clearly visible under its thick black fur, illuminated by the red flashes of various fire. "Dont hit the collar!" she screams... Too late. The collar snaps... The Karanadon is no longer under the control of the Togorians. And it is Angry |

((I have no idea who I want to control the Karanadon.  So it's pretty much up to whoever wants it. As for the camera flash, at close range against an ordinary human opponent the blinding can last as long as five minutes. The Karanadon is both not a human and is not at close range, so it should be blinded for about thirty seconds. So you have that long to come up with a plan. )) |

((Zari comes from a place where everything can be turned into a weapon- Including Clingwrap, or Gladwrap if you prefer. Do these Space pirates have ship computers?
mwahaha))
Zaei yanked out a set of wires, then kicked the engine. It started, thankfully. she grabbed some camo foil and pulled it over the ship. Now she had a route to evacutation if required- that ship could hold a good 40-50 people. Zari walked to level F and grabbed yet another roll of clingwrap. 'Hey, can someone here who still has their head help out here? This here stuff is stronger than it looks, and it might delay anything else from coming in.

its about 10 ft tall, with huge arms that drag on the ground, a wolf like tail, wolf like legs and body.. so basically yeah a werewolf monster type thing.
