don't fear the reaper
[The First Battle]
[They come shooting out of the great dark. Guns blazing, no warning. The enemy ships are ragtag, mismatched, and cobbled together from spare parts. But that doesn’t make them weak. No-- years and years of scavenging have turned them into raiders, and they carry their scars with pride.
The battle is more aggressive than previous attacks against the Fleet. Nothing deters the raiders because they’re tough, and if they see a wounded ship floundering, they have no problems swooping in and boarding. Those crews will soon learn the meaning of teamwork if they want to bring the attackers down. They infiltrate the Iskaulit as well, just in case people try to hide there. At this point they are very, very used to tracking down women and children for their slave trade.
If asked why they’re doing this, the answer is simple.
Spare parts have to come from somewhere.
Don’t worry. Nothing on your ship, and no one, will go to waste.]
[A Few Hours Later]
[The raiders are too strong and the Fleet is failing. After what seems like an eternity of warfare, static comes in, broadcasted to the fleet at large. Something or someone is hailing them…
The signal is untraceable and the video is complete static, but they tell the Fleet they are here to help. Ships come swooping out of the black and they open fire on the raiders. They number a dozen, maybe more, and the ships look eerily similar to the ones currently used by the Fleet, if not a bit older and battle-hardened. Their shielding and weaponry is much, much better, however-- and most of them have custom paint or other touches on their hulls.
They’re not invincible, however. A few may end up between a rock and a hard place when the raiders surround them.
Some older residents may remember this particular group of ships. They’re obviously helping out now, but there’s nothing stopping Fleeters from firing on their would-be saviors save a complete lack of weaponry. You do have a Security officer on board, don’t you? They’ll defend themselves by seriously injuring your ship, but they won’t destroy it for some reason. Small mercies.
The raiders soon realize they’re outgunned and jump ship, taking their dead with them. The intercepting fleet pulls back, too, and both parties vanish back into the dark as silently and swiftly as they came. There’s a lot of cleanup to do whether your ship is disabled or you’re preparing to tow someone else.
Hopefully, the people who saved you don’t change their minds.]
[Plot info is here! Feel free to make your own toplevels with fighting, barricading, being boarded, saving others, the aftermath, etc. There's lots to do!]

[There's a little smile in the tinny voice across the line.]
This'll be over right quick, don't you worry.
no subject
Big one, got it. I guess we really won't be much use to people out here with all this damage to our ship. [Yet he's having such a hard time being okay with leaving the fight.]
no subject
Better to run and fight another day, yeah? [A pause.] I can tell yer a bleedin' heart, so I'm gonna give you some advice. Look after your own crew first, and then worry about everyone else.
no subject
Either way this is Vash, Captain- [A soft chuckle still for the title.] -of the SS Three Twins. Thanks for the assist.
I hope we can chat a bit more sometime without all this excitement, but I suppose the ah... hosts wouldn't allow that? [It's tentative. Each time this fleet as has attacked it's usually been in a disable fashion. He's always wondered if they were hired to spice up ratings or if they were unhappy with the show. Maybe he can get a bit more information now that they were talking back.]
But yeah, I suppose running and fighting later isn't a bad suggestion for today. [One he takes
for nowas he points his battered vessel towards the larger ship.]no subject
[She breaks off as a raider ship appears, intent on firing at the retreating Fleet ship.]
Ah, bugger! [She returns fire and takes a hit in return, but her shields are still working, unlike the poor SS Three Twins.]
no subject
Always listening. Interesting to know either way and--]
Be careful! Get out of here! I got this thing working enough we can get to cover!
[He will not have people hurt because of him or his ship.]
no subject
... I can't believe it.
[A deep, dramatic pause.]
Crackin' onto me in the middle of a fight? You're bloody shameless! [She laughs, obviously not bothered by the fight or the flirting.]
I'm gonna head over and help some of your mates. You stay hidden, all right?
no subject
Alright Angel, although I hate for us to part, I suppose they need you more than I do now.
We'll stay hidden.
[Maybe.]Don't get your pretty self hurt out there. [Don't make him bring his battered ship back out and ram raiders to cover you!]And thanks. Really. [All joking set aside for that last part.]
no subject
I'm a thief, y'know. The bloody best around! I know how to get myself out of a pinch.
She'll be right. [Finally, the red and white ship zooms off to give some other guys hell.]
no subject
Until then, take care!
