I don't remember... So... Is I newb?
And a story I played with on the previous forum, I did a bit of rewriting though.
I stopped in Flyers Retreat for a drink and was listening for the lastest gossip and maybe a lucritive bounty when I heard some scavengers talking about how lucritive business was because of a Flyer called Ai, that caught my attention, I listened to them rattle on and on about how Ai would attack Lazuras and Klamp-G and would not even bother to pickup the scraps or cargo they dropped. After I left the pub, and went back to the hangar I climbed in closed my canopy and cycled my canopy to privacy and checked uhttp://tcw.snow.dt for the available bounties, I checked the computer and found the desired target and attempted to get the target information... [Bounty Information Declined - Bounty Hunters SS Class or above needed to Apply for Bounty Details.] The site was owned by high ranked retired bounty hunter who acts as a intermeitate of Klamp-G, Lazurs, and the Police who told flyers of current bounties. The familar beep and light of a New Message appeared on the console, "This is Snow, the bounty target you requested is extremely dangerous if you still insist on pursuing this, be at The After Dark tomorrow at 00:25. - Snow Out."
I check the clock it's 23:58 even a Swallow at top speed would have trouble getting there in time... Well at the least I have that Afterburner Prototype I recieved for a previous job...
I barely made it in time...
I enter the bar and am met by one of Snow's assitants who makes sure to give me a "thorough" greeting. Then I am led to a private room somewhere above the bar. They gesture for me to enter the room and leave me sitting their in a dark room with cold steel walls a shelf of trophies and a old heavily beaten up moth thats too beat up to even say what model it may at one time have been, thirty minutes must have passed before Snow finally arrives, and motions me to have a seat.
"Sorry for the wait, I had... other interests... to take care off." Said Snow in a smug voice on the verge of mocking me yet pittying me. Which really ticks me off... Poker face, must keep my poker face. "Not a problem, I'm suprised you actually took the time to see me considering how busy you must be." I said as polite and "gentlemanly" as I could muster, "Hahahahaha" Snow started laughing at me, Okay now I'm really getting ticked... Information... must keep calm... "You said in your message that you have information about the bounties on Ai?" ... [Stares] She says nothing and just stares at me... It has been two minutes already... Maybe I should leave, or shout at her, I'd draw my weapons but those were removed during that 'greeting' earlier... All of a sudden Snow stands and walks over to the junk heap of a moth, stares at it for a moment before talking, "See this moth here?" "Yes." Hard not to see the damn thing, is right in the middle of the room and the only light on is above it... "This moth has a story, it's the last moth I flew as a bounty hunter, more heavily armed and armored then any moth I had before or since. It could have been my coffin too... I went up against a S-Ranked bounty, at the time, and this moth crawled back from the gates of Limbo with me in it." ... Okay I'm not taking this any more. "WOULD YOU SHUTUP AND TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!?" I shout at the top of my voice as I jump to my feet with a great deal of anger and fustration. Snow lets out a small laugh and begins to talk again, "So you have fangs after all, You didn't look like much of a fighter, you still don't, though I guess a pilot doesn't nessicarly have to look strong and be physically tough, as long as they can fly and fight well above the cities." .... "Look I only came here to get informa..." "About Ai correct?" She said while interupting my sentence. I look at her with extreme annoyance, "Yeah, that's it." She looks at me again with eyes that tells me she don't think I can handle it. "Look lady, I get it you think I'll die that I want be able to handle it, don't worry about me, and give me the information, I seek, if it's money you want I'll pay you up front." ...
"Alright, you've seen this moth... Ai did this to it, he is crafty, he lured me to three differnt craters before I got two shots in, when we finally did start fighting it out my cell was half drained, when I got his shields half down he started running, well that is what I thought at that time. I chased him throughout Mines through tunnels, under hangars, between hangars, above hangars, and even to the ceiling, he'd return a volley of shots every now and then, some would hit, some would miss we must have fought for 30 minutes before he ducked into a nearby hangar as minutes go by, I had the hangar door in my targeting sights so I could get a few free shots as Ai exited, When the door began to open, I fired full force at the exiting moth two seconds later my H.U.D. started acting up, five seconds my systems shut down and ten seconds later a alien moth hovers over top of my moth. I fraintically began to looking for a way to escape, then I noticed Ai' sitting their with a smirk on his face and lifted his hand."
"At that time I began to sweat I had heard that Ai had many unconventional friends, but I never imagined... no one would have.'"
" He signaling the unidentifiable craft, Get Ready.
The alien moths pulls out of sight at unbelievable speeds.
AIM [Ai laughed as he gestured.] FIRE!!!
The alien moth starts releasing a volley of plasma bolts at my helpless craft, The cold caculating emulated voice of the computer pipes in 'Shields at 90, Shields at 76, Shields at 42, Shields at 10, Shields Offline.'
As I sat there I began feeling hopeless, anguish, of terror, and dread with my thoughts racing, Any second now, any second now, that bastard flyer may start using an offensive weapon that will destroy more than my moths systems, just to rid this pathetic, miserable, prison of a moon, of Me, oh well at least when I awake in the body of my clone... how many 'deaths' will this make now?
I turned pale, (Wait! This... is... MY Last Clone...) When I realized that, having already died five times, and this time I didn't have a clone, not that it would matter much, do to the degeneration that happens on the sixth clone most 'people's' DNA isn't stabile or pure enough to go past five clones some are not even able to have clones and others only have half that, if you look at percentages of the population that can only have up to, two or three. "
"I did tell you my mind was racing right? Sorry, I got lost again in the torrent of my thoughts, I'll continue the story now if you have no questions."
I sat there in silence.
"[Silence...] 'Is he going to finish me off now...' I said to myself, trying to summon enough courage to look up, into the eyes of my vengeful aggersor, I looked up just as the bright heat of a pulse laser is hurled toward my moth... 'Damn you Ai!' Cursing into the dark nothingness of my cockpit, that was covered with the occasional argent of the pulse laser blasts that kept rocking my moth and the faint pulsating glow of blue from the fusion powered craft that held me prisoner.
[Silence.......]
Once again the 'silence' of Titan's atmosphere covered my moth, moments, hours maybe passed by and my thoughts began rushing to betray me with hope, 'Is he getting bored of this yet, maybe he'll leave me alone...?' I once again began to look up at my bounty, he signals something to the alien craft and once again thunderous pounding hit my moth alterating between pulse laser blasts and plasma, 'Nope still just toying with me.' Faster than hope had begun to reemerge, hopelessness and renewed fear gripped this well seasoned Veteran Flyer... I began to see flash backs of times that death was close, times that I nearly died, of times when all hope was lost, but even then it wasn't even this hopeless, at least then I had the choice, the chance.'"
'Do, Die, or Revive'
"This time I can't do anything, I can only wait to die." I said into the empty darkness of my cockpit... Sitting there in despair pondering why Ai didn't just hurry up and finish me off. The weapon blast began to get less and less frequent farther and farther away, timidly looking up
expecting the worst, AI has begun to move farther and father away at what I could only guess was radar range he stopped, turned and waited... The alien moth ceased firing... "Oh great so you want to finish me off yourself, huh you little bastard." The little remaining power came back online,
I quickly looked over [what remained] of the H.U.D. and seen that even a marble sized debris falling from orbit could knock me out of the sky... The radio cracked and hissed and arched and finally relayed Ai's message.
"IF! You ever attack me again, for what ever reason, I will personally do that to you again, till you jettison, then 'I' will cut your trigger finger off with a blowtorch, and serve it too you in one of your meals."
"The whole ordeal took no more than 15 some minutes, though each of those minutes felt like hours and the seconds like minutes, It is needless to say that I will never mess with Ai again even if the bounty was a Million Credits and the whole Mines Crater." Snow said in a absolute matter of fact tone me like I was a newbie Flyer.
