“Okay, good, now brace yourselves,” Ella said, flicking a couple of switches and taking the controls in her hands. “We’re going to jump to hyperspeed in three, two, one…”
Peter’s face heated. “That was one time,” he whined, strapping himself in reluctantly. Sure, he hated the seatbelts, but Alice had only peeled him off the wall once. (Though he had gotten a minor concussion the last time he hadn’t worn a seatbelt). If he could fly, why couldn’t he get through the force of moving that quickly?
Dawn chuckled and waited for everyone to get strapped in before announcing the jump. "Two….one!" She said and pushed the lever up booting up the hyperdrive engine. A couple seconds later, they found themselves zooming through the stars.
Ravenna only barely managed to strap herself in when the ship moved into hyperdrive. Not long after, they found themselves in the galaxy and headed towards Planet Anastasia.
As they approached the new planet, Raine comfortable removed her restraints, tired of how they felt on her chest. "Remind me what we're doing here again?"
“Catching a man with a high bounty on his head,” responded Ella matter-of-factly. She glanced at the other girl. “And he is dangerous, so be prepared.”
"What's he gonna do against a pirate, a cyborg, and two other girls?" She said, kicking up her feet and leaning comfortably in her chair
”What’s our plan for once we encounter this mysterious Piper?” Alice asked her shipmates.
Dawn hummed in response.before facing her. "I don't know but I'm assuming that we can either go in peacefully or aggressively."
Peter smirked. “One of those options sounds good, and the other one sounds like it definitely won’t work. I doubt a fearsome guy like him would take to some peaceful
negotiations. Besides, I do enjoy a good fight, myself.”
“It’s always good to be prepared,” Ella countered. “And I’m actually not a cyborg, that would mean some part of me was human.”
Alice chuckled, her gauntlet covered hand twitching slightly at the thought of a fight. ”I doubt he’s that fearsome.” she smirked remembering what she went through in Wonderland.
"We banded togather because of our pasts and became a team. Let's hope we remember that when we go up against the Piper." Dawn said quietly, almost sadly.
"Yeah yeah, tell it to someone who cares. I'd like to get that bounty and buy a planet." Ravenna said offhandedly
Peter noticed her shift in tone. “Is everything okay Dawn?” he asked, wondering why she seemed upset. The Piper was just another guy, so why did she seem sad?
Ella rolled her eyes. “Good for you. I’d just rather I don’t have to get rebooted again, myself. If you want to go in without caution and die then that’s up to you.”
Dawn had perfected an almost realistic fake smile and that is what she had on her face when she faced Peter. "Yeah, it's fine, I'm fine." She said and gently steered the ship onto the surface of the planet. She brought up the on board AI, Myth.ixo, commonly called Mythi. "Mythi, brief us on the conditions of this planet so we are equipped to exit the ship." She said
Alice raised a brow at Dawn’s too easy dismissal. Something clearly was bothering her… but she didn't want to talk about it. Just like how Alice rarely talked about Wonderland… Or at least what really happened there. She let out a soft sigh and turned her attention to Mythi.
Mythi blinked at them twice before speaking. "Planet Anastasia, largest planet, of 10 in the Czarina system, has an earth-like atmosphere however you will need to keep an air tank on you at all times. Their is animal and plant life on here. Several plants are also alive, moving and eating. It is a very peaceful planet. There is intelligent life on this planet as you know. I advise you to stay away from the mountains as it is not safe for non-native if this planet what so ever." They said
“So, cool plants and animals, mountains sound like fun,” Peter responded, pretending to take notes as he flashed a charming grin. He knew he was being annoying but that was one of his favorite pastimes.
Alice sighed, ”What do you think the odds are that this Piper is going to go directly to the mountains?” The living plants thing didn't phase her in the least.
"The Piper is a native of this planet. If he is going anywhere, it'll be here." Dawn said, heading to the supply room and grabbing a couple Oxy-tanks. She tossed one ti each member and took one for herself before testing to the airlock. "Shall we?"
Peter nodded, a bit more serious but with a hint of humor in his demeanor. “Let’s go kick some Piper ass,” he cheered, gearing up.
Alice adjusted her Oxy-tank and stood next to Dawn at the door. ”Will we know the guy when we see him or is he good a making himself disappear as well?” She almost always had a million questions just before a job.
Dawn stayed quiet for a second before nodding. "He will be fairly easy to recognise." She responded
“That’s good,” Peter added with a nod, rolling forward on the balls of his feet. “Anything else that we need to know in order to not die?”
(Anyone want to reboot this idea? I really did like this rp)
(I’m interested, definitely!)
(I've gotten so much better at Rp-ing and this writing of mine was cringe asf)
(I think my writing has improved as well.)
