"Alright Ladies and Gentlemen," Leroy said as he entered the holosuite with Talia still on his arm as a joke. "Are we ready to get this party started?" As he hit a button on his padd and dropped Talia's arm, the black and gold grid shimmered into a simulated fighter deck. "Good Luck," he said, trying to sound like the old video game 'Star Fox' before he and Talia shimmered away in an apparent transporter beam. "Your CO and XO have been captured. Now it's your time to find out who did it, and why."
His voice seemed to come from everywhere at the same time. Then the room shook as red and gold phaser blasts started hitting where the fighters would soon be flying from.
Glancing about the two had weapons in their hands to return suit at the apparant foes that were raining down weapon discharges. Scrambling for the fighters did not take a second thought, both men dashed in that direction while giving alternating Phaser return fire.
Bojay got to his fighter first and scrambled up the ladder; Wedge dropped to a crouch to give cover.
"Your turn." Bojay took up the covering fire as Wedge went to the ladder of his fighter and clambered into the seat.
Both men closed the canopy and began the start up sequence. The fighters were almost in unison when the engines came to life.
"Searching last known positioning." Wedge began to run tha data as Bojay lifted up slightly and pivoted the fighter to bring the guns into range.
"No use letting them come after us." A few phaser blasts in the area of the attackers ceased the small arms fire.
"I have the last known flight path." Wedge lifted off . " Ready to roll."
"Got your Six." Bojay spun to follow Wedge out of the hangar, blasting the doors open before exiting.
"Add that to our tab." Bojay remarked just before the acceleration away from that hot spot towards a known direction.
Puma thumbed her comm. "You two payasos need to learn how to fly." She negotiated through the open doors and followed the two out into space.
"You could say thank you for drawing their fire so you could tag along." Bojay joked.
"We can settle who owes whom after we find them." Wedge said as he kept monitoring the ion trail that constituted the only lead the trio had to follow. "Despite what Wedge says it is good to have you along Puma." He kept his ship on the trail. "I have the lock could the two of you make sure if we get company I can still be the Blood Hound here?"
"You be the bloodhound. I'll be the Puma." Juanita chuckled, appreciating her joke.
"I guess that means I am the hunter with guns?" Bojay joked.
Leroy sat there, in a pirates attack shuttle attached to the underside of the holographic Calypso with a smile. He had forgotten about the ion trail, but luckily it was going the wrong way. Unlatching from the bottom of his own vessel, he put out the call for the second wave to pop in, then vanish behind the moon that was 9 million kilometers away, for a small surprise party that they were throwing for the rest of the fighters.
"You're evil," Talia said, grinning. "I like it."
"I forget if I programmed the Obama in this or not," Leroy said frowning as he started typing into the database, looking for the Capitol ship that had gone missing a few years ago, most officials believed that Pirates had gotten her and the crew. "That would be evil..."
"It would be a nice touch," Talia said. "A nice, evil touch."
[Fighters]
Puma continued to scan as she followed the other two. "What's the plan?" she asked.
"Follow what leads we have." Wedge said.
"Jey I have a minor flux on one scanner near the ship, something small, maybe a probe or something from the Pirates. I am trying to get a fix on it, it just came out of the shadow of the Calypso."
"What you think Puma, you are deciding vote, follow trail or lok see what Bojay might have found?"
"Let's see what BoJay found," Juanita replied. "We know where the ion trail leads. We can always follow it later."
She flipped her fighter and headed to BoJay's position.
Bojay had angled his fighter towards the disturbance. "I have a rough motion lock on the target." Bojay reported.
Wedge got a location on his trail before arcing away to join the other two. "I am coming , we can pick this up later." Wedge brought the fighter up to full impulse to join the fray.
"Okay, everyone," Puma said, firing up her phasers. "Time to shoot us some pirate booty!"
