Of Shooting Sprees

Rose hardly heard Dragon's comment about massacreing. She didn't even notice that her forehead jewel had turned a bright red again. And she didn't care. Part of her needed this, more than she knew.

Rose was taking down Renstock ships by the dozen. She had a strangely easy time of picking them off while damaging others next that she pinpointed for destruction. She didn't even notice Dragon's statement about leaving the ship. Not like she'd even care, for the moment. She was perfectly happy keeping the gnats off Nerissa.

Of Who is Going

Taran heard Dragon loud and clear, and his eyebrows furrowed. He was not about to be left on the ship, but he wasn't sure about leaving the ship in the hands of... whoever wasn't going. Which would be who exactly? he wondered. He figured everyone would want in on this.

He waited three minutes before going down to C deck. In that time, he set up over a dozen protocols for the ship that should make defending it pretty easy. When he was done, he left to get to C deck ahead of Dragon.

Of What is Going

Niko welded the compartment shut, and stepped back. The many-limbed mechanical thing Niko had created and programmed was done. She smiled.

"It's not much." Niko said, as she turned it on via an on-only button on the thing (there's no off button for it) "But it aught to help Dragon and them with everything."

The spider-like cybernetic robot stood up straight, and its infa-red camera eyes looked around.

"Mas-ter?" A robotic voice asked.

"Yes. But for now, you will serve Dragon." Niko said.

The spider nodded once, and ran off to find her.

Looking back at Ikkit and Tikki, she explained. "I know, its based off your existing cybernetic work with Nissa and ANTIE-D, but with some differences. He has a limited vocabulary- I just couldn't fit it all in there, but he has the ability to change the shape of his limbs. At least the bottom third of each leg. He can pick locks, see through walls, climb walls, and wield eight razor sharp blades, all thanks to the free carbon. Also, his 1" minimum height allows his to get into places no one else can. He can see in infa-red, night vision, and heat vision. Oh, and he's nearly indestructable. I call him Bart" Niko said, and stopped.

"I know, nothing you couldn't have done yourself." Niko said humbly. And she believed it, too.
