"Mmm..." Vespira hissed with satisfaction as she sank deeper into the large tub of hot water. Her body glistened under the light as the serpent woman soaked in the bath, a glass of wine in her hands as she enjoyed the benefits of being wealthy. Looking out the window, she could see the stars streaming past her ship as it continued on its set course to one of the outer worlds of her influence. She drank deeply as a guard arrived informing her that everything was on schedule. The alien woman merely dismissed him, wishing to enjoy this moment of relaxation. Personally checking up on her numerous establishments took up much of her time. But the benefits ensured she would keep working and it made it harder for anyone to keep track of the crimelord.

The Gorgonian's ship was a luxury transport ship. Though built for comfort, it was still able to hold its own in the depths of space. It had a heavy hull and was armed with turrets, torpedoes, attack drones, and a number of her personal guard. While on a planet, Vespira rarely had guards with her but in the depths of space, she knew she was more vulnerable to attack. But with the best ship money could buy, Vespira was hardly concerned of what was out there waiting for her.

Nikki licked her lips as her ship's scanners went over the ship as she grins at how wealthy and highly priced it must be..the lucky girl had found a new cash piggy bank to break open and grins as she began scanning the ship and noticed a tiny bit of info about who it belonged too before narrowing her eyes, Vespira...a rather growing crimelord who was constantly becoming more popular, that made this target much more juicy for her and began moving, her ship charging up a special ion blast to attempt to stun the ship as she fired the blue orb of ion's to try and shut the ship down as she moved her ship quicky to the engines to try and shoot them out blaster fire raining towards the engines.

Nikki grins as she began scanning for any airlocks and began an attempted docking onto the ship as her console began hacking into the weakened computers on the ship to get a map of the ship's insides as Nikki chuckles.

Alarms went off throughout the ship as it detected a ship's weapons powering up. The transport began performing evasive manuevers but not before the ion blast crashed against the ship's hull. Energy crackled through the systems, causing the ship to shake and the lights to flicker. Several systems shorted out immediately, the engines cutting out along with all the ship's defenses. Life support went down but it would take time before all the heat and air runs out. The luxury transport was dead in the water as laser blasts pelted the ships engines. The hull absorbed most of the shots but eventually it had to give and a large explosion appeared where the engines used to be.

What little power was left sealed off the sections that were breached. Vespira had gotten out of the tub, hissing in frustration as this sudden attack. She attempted to contact the rest of the crew but all systems were down. The room was dark with only the light of the nearby stars providing any illumination through the windows. Water running down her body, the Gorgonian felt for the door but could not open it without the emergency tools. Meanwhile the rest of her guards were trying to reach her quarters as well as the closest escape pods, trying to create a protected route to escort Vespira to safety.

Nikki smirked as she got ready putting on some dark armour that was slim for her figure but also slightly bulky so it protected her, she slowly slide on a strange black eyepiece over her eyes as it acted like a nightvision as she smirked and grabbing a pistol with a silencer and an assault rifle began to approach the airlock and calmly checking her air supply she had on with her opened the airlock slowly with a bit of strenght due to the lack of power and began heading out into the hallways moving fast but quietly.

Her feet barely making a sound as she headed down the hallways her hand on her pistol as she checked around a corner calmly to check for any guards as her vizor showed her a small map on the side her location shown and the quarters of her target as she smirked.

"Hmm...a bit of a run but I can manage," She whispered as she began moving slowly through the corridors and hallways of the ship.

Once docked and the pressure equalized, the airlock opened easily enough with aid from the attacking ship's power supply. The rest of the doors unfortunately would require prying or pulling open with various devices. As the invader boarded the vessel, she could already hear movement down the hall as guards clamps a magnet handle on the doors and pulled them open. Numerous armed and armored guards were moving down the halls, armed with blaster rifles with lights attached to help with visibility. It was apparent these were highly trained guards.

Vespira sighed and dried herself off before finding a light to help her search through the emergency locker. She grabbed a magnetic handle and used it to slowly pry open the door. With power out, she just hoped the pods still had a backup battery to launch itself out into space. This was going to delay her next arrival by weeks at this rate. Whoever dared to attack her ship was going to pay along with the foolish engineer who designed this faulty machine.

Nikki smirked as she calmly waited in the shadows as the guards walked by her as she was setting tiny beacons back to her ship's airlock as she moved through the corridors ducking against any cover and even slightly open doors as she was approaching her target area. Using her nightvision to keep track of any movement infront of her she moved forward calmly her tools all set and ready as she began setting up some traps. Mini Turrets she stuck to some of the walls, each turret armed with silencer rounds so no gunshots sounds would be heard as the turrets waited for any sign of the guards, while Nikki moved ahead a hand on her pistol as she pulled it out and moved calmly through the area smirking as she was getting close now and licked her lips in anticipation.

As she kept moving ahead her eyes on her nightvision the map showing her which ways to go to quickly reach Vespira's room as she got one of her magnetic handles open too as she would try and use it to get the door open so she could get her target easier than cutting the door.

The woman darted quickly to another hallway while the guards finished opening the door. Thankfully the airlock was closed or else the guards would have known not only the intruder's entry position but also have the means to board the attacking vessel. The turrets were set up to cover the hallways she has been in as the woman continued to make her way towards Vespira's quarters. Personnel continued to try and bring the ship's systems back online while guards checked the airlocks and made their way towards Vespira's quarters as well.

Nikki would hear a far door opening as a small group of guards proceed to head for the same room she was aiming for. This group apparently had started heading for Vespira's quarters the moment coms went out. They were no doubt wanting to check on their boss's safety before any intruders could arrive.

Nikki silently cursed in her head as she moved forward now keeping to the shadows when she spotted any guards making a quick dash around to find either the lifepods or to fix the damaged electronics as she moved quickly towards the door but she noticed a group of men coming in close and began to roll a knock out gas grenade down the hallway towards the corner they seemed to be coming from her also heat vision in her visor showing her the outlines of the guards.

While that happened she headed toward the door to Vespira's quarters and smirked before she got her tools and began to get the door itself working slightly rather than rip it open as that would take more time, as she continued to channel a little power into the door through her device to get the doors electronics working for a short time as she smirked and began to open the door slowly.

The gas hissed and knocked out the guards before they knew what hit them. They fell to the floor with a heavy thud as the intruder continued on her way to the VIP quarters. Opening the door herself was not going to be necessary as Vespira was already pulling the door open, hissing in loud annoyance. She did not like the fact that she did not hear anything at all. Something was wrong, very wrong indeed.

((Sorry for short post))

Nikki smirked as she approached the door which was opening up as she saw her target was about to leave and approached silently and began movnig silently. Drawing a pistol and calmly began to point it at Vespira smirking calmly as she made sure the gun was trained on the Gorgonian and waited for her to come out. She sneaked over and began to press the gun against the back of Vespira and even covering a hand over her mouth calmly as she smirked. As she whispered into Vespira's ear, "Now don't make any sudden moves darling," She whispered washing hot breath on Vespira's ear and neck, "I don't want to have to blast a hole into that pretty chest of yours," Nikki whispered.

The Gorgonian slithered out, looking around but failed to noticed the woman pressed up against the wall beside the door. Feeling the cool metal pistol against the small of her back, the serpent woman stopped. She would have sighed and hissed her annoyance if it were not for the hand that was now pressed against her lips. To even speak into the woman's ear and neck, the shorter woman had to stand on part of Vespira's snakelike lower half. Though it would be possible to toss this woman off her, there was a chance a shot would blast into her back before the intruder is knocked away. Slowly, Vespira crossed her arms infront of her, impatiently waiting to find out what this intruder wanted. With the nearby guards knocked out, they had a little time before the silence of the radios between the squads causes alarm.

"Hmm smart girl, now move to the airlocks," She said calmly as she began to make Vespira slither down the hallway following her path as she had to be quick before the guards got wind of what happened. As she continued forcing Vespira towards the airlocks smirking as she began to tap a button on her wrist and began the warming up of her ship for the quick getaway before the ion's wore off and power could be restored.

She hissed but obeyed, slithering towards the airlock she was directed to. Sounds of alarm would sound as guards encountered the turrets waiting for them. Blaster fire could be heard, providing a distraction for the pirate to escape with her prize. Vespira slithered through the airlock and into the ship, already plotting what she was going to do with this human woman who dared point a weapon at her. As the airlock closed behind her and the ship began to hum to life, the serpent woman turned to face her attack. "You are making a large misstake, human," she hissed, her forked tongue flicking out, "I am going to enjoy watching you beg for mercy when I am through with you."

She would see the dark vizor covering the human's eyes who smirked at her and calmly leaned closer keeping her gun pointed at Vespira as she began the automatic detach of her ship and the speedy getaway as she smiled.

"We shall see Vespira, I must admit, you are quite the lovely catch, who would think I would be so lucky to find your transport while on my little outlawing days," The Woman smirked as she calmly led Vespira to a quarters in the back of the ship, decent bedding as she smiled calmly as she kept her gun trained on her catch, "Don't worry, I treat my catches right, after all, it wouldn't do well to have such a body damaged before I get a nice ransom," She grins.

The nightvision visor would interfere with her hypnotic sway so there was no point in attempting anything now. Still, Vespira's eyes narrow at the human woman before her. With that firearm, the snake woman had no choice but to move where she was told. Once inside the living quarters, she turned once more to face her captor. "Do not be stupid," she hissed, "You will get nothing from me. You picked the wrong ship to attack, human. Trash like you is not even worth taking back to my esstablishmentss. I will enjoy breaking you like the useless fool you are." Even at gunpoint, the alien woman radiated confidence. Being a crimelord, having a gun pointed at her was nothing new to her.
