Krisna playfully smirked at Hope reaction to her scan, thinking the agents reaction was cute as the travle gave her a sweet sly little smile befor getting her omni tool back from Shelia who seemed very curious about the device but similure to Hopes guess if Luna could not figure it out then Shelia had no chance in the univirse to solve the omni tools mysterys.

The four moved out rather quickly afther Krisna little test as she fallowed, her omni tools holo display up and flashing code as she tapped away at a digistructed key board as she walked with the others. Getting to the brige Shelia was shocked by the sight of the dead navigator, Krisna flipping closed her omni tool to put a had on Shelias sholder to assure the girl every thing would be ok befor Hope and Destiny moved the mans body into a seprate room befor manning a station.

Taking a seat at a consol Krisna would flip open her Omni tool agin to issue a new command as she tapped at the display. Having her toy issue out few familure drones Destiny would recigonize as those odd gold floating hologram she summoned the first tie tgey went out of a mission together, the one that zapped her befor Krisna pointed at around the room. "Go man the other stations cuties!" Krisna ordered befor the holograms hovered to the other unmannded stations no one was at and plugged in, in a sense and began running flight calaculations. spinning around in her chair Krisna would turn to face her lover and smile happly afther hearing her ask a question. "Yup! My omni tool can locate and scan any drive component in the radius of uhmm.... 10 trillion par secs... give or take?. "

Krisna would looked between Shelia and Destiny as the both spoke befor tilting her head to one side cutly and thinking, tapping her chinn in deep thought. "Uhmm... Yes!... my omni can find these briges but looking for components or briges will comsume most of is resorces so might take a minute or two..."

“Ten million? Does that help to narrow it down?” Space was big but if it only took Krisna a minute or two to scan that distance then she reasoned that this would be much quicker.

Assuming it was a radius of ten million space par secs around them, they could scan an area in a couple of minutes, move out of that area and scan again. Granted it probably would still take a while but this would cut down their search time. Typical sensors could only scan out a few kilometers after all.

The science vessel was mostly automated it looked like but with so few people she assumed that they would have been able to move the ship and that was all but with the drones shields and weapons were added to options if they needed them, sensors, communications, you name it.

They had enough “people” now to indulge in these things.

While they traveled she reflected on the station and her mission to Gero station. She had then gone through records on the ship until finding the blueprints of a standard station, which Gero station had been. She studied it for a second, there seemed t be no changes as far as she could tell then showed the other girls.

“We actually set down in this hanger here rather than docking with the station. It was here in this control station where there was a gate open to who knows where. The Xagi were coming out of it and I had to destroy it so if any components fell through the gate before it closed they wold be here. If they didn't fall upon our side they would be out of phase on the other side … is there a plan for that or are we going to just wing it?”

“Oh my God, it's Kurt,” the helmsman had to be removed before the scientist calmed down which the others had no problem doing. It was explained to her that he was the only casualty found and from what she said Mercer probably had the crew, Scorch seemed interested in looking further into this when they were back seeing that something had not seemed right with the situation, either Merer didn't trust people to get this drive, in which case he was vulnerable or another crime boss reduced him to such a pitiful state, which meant that he was vulnerable. Either way she had to find out what became f her sister and get revenge …

When everything was situated and Krisna explained what the tool could do a skeptical Shelia voiced her concern even now in response to Hope. “Do your realize how big space is? That's why they call it space but it's a start at least.”

“Well, it's much better than we had, a few kilometers at a time would be tedious. A few million? We can scan and jump so what's that ...” she looked at the read outs for the primary drive rather then the experimental one that got them into this mess in the first place. “Not long, math was never my strong point but I'd say every two hours or so at a cruising speed.”

Scorch smile at Krissy. “Good job in my book, anything that increases the odds. I feel bad for what you have to work with, Hope,” she grinned then moved closer to the monitor to have a look. The only thing they had to worry about would be the Xagi that were crossing over at the time that their bridge collapsed. If they were out of phase then whatever was there now could not interact with them unless on the same quasi dimension if she got this right.

They had gotten to Gero Station, a lonely point that was on the frontier of unexplored space. There was nothing here though, perhaps the station served as an early warning should something unexxpected come into the galaxy … Hope had never learned it's purpose when last she was here and it was the first time that the other three had been here.

Scanning with the OMNI proved that there was something on their side of the gate and it was right where Hope had indicated …

Krisna turned to Shelia as the scientist voiced her skepticism and smiled kindly. "Do you know how small space is?" Krisna said jokingly befor she glared past her and to her lover and sweetly smiled back and giggled repling." I accually a present for Hope! but she has to wait untelll my scan is done!" Krsina said befor turning to Hope who was flipping through files and came over to have a look see, meanwhile her omni tool scanning the area.

Looking over Hopes sholderKrisna watched and listened as Hope explained the layout of the station and how this was where possible drive parts may be but the chances were still slim as Krisna could not help but wonder what a station like this was doing out here? One capable of opening a Tare bridge at that? if she understude correctly. Still questions would be awnsered in time the travler thought as she simply looked at Hope's screen.

It was later the four reached Gero station or atleast were it was sopost to be, Krisna wasnt sure as she didnt see anything out there since there was nothing here? But as she patiently watched and waited, looking out the bridge window befor there was a beep beep and Krisna's omni tool hummed to life, dispaying a disk like radar with a beeping marker not far off their current location. "Hey! we got somthing!" Krisna shouted excitedly.

She still ached a bit but nearly having your own limbs sucked inside yourself tended t do that. Just how many Xagi where here she wondered.

There was something here, even she could tell that much as the tool responded and she became a bit more alert. “Really, I thought it was a long shot but since we had nothing to go on ...”

Small? But Shelia let the matter drop. She was getting noting on screen though but a visual of the station could not be confirmed straight away. She had also wondered about a present seeing that the last had nearly opened an unstable black hole but she tapped a few buttons and had a picture of the station, a grayish obstruction that they could see but it look less than real indicating that it was out of phase with them.

Scorch had not brought up the matter with Hope thinking that this present thing was a surprise. She smiled back and patted Krissy on the rump as she moved over towards Hope to have a look at the map. She had not gone over herself though already assuming that Krissy was just going to copy the information fr them.

A warning klaxon sounded, they were venting atmosphere though it was on the port side of the ship and was small.

Scorch looked, the bout of good news ruined by this matter. “Here, there looks … this doesn't make any sense, that's a damaged area and should be sealed ...”

It was sealed … was being the operative word … but the Xagi could survive in the vacuum of space and some had been “a drift” some distance from the station. It would have taken them ages to get anywhere but these had been far enough out where they were in easy reach of the ship. The sensors not picking up the alien life and registering them as simple space debris.

They entered into damaged sections and moved through the ventilation shafts until they could go no further. Slime and physical attacks cause a breech where several of them were now on board the Harmony, attracted by the alien energy that they had sensed. Like a moth to a flame they had been drawn forth and would soon make their presence felt ...

Krisna turn to give her lover a cute smile afther feeling her had patt her cure shaply rear befor turning around and giving her sweetly kiss on the cheek befor she returned to her seat but not with out whispering into her lover ear senualy. "Ill have a present for you too." Krisna parted with a smile befor she waited for her tool to react if it saw antything at which point it did...

However earlyer Destiny was right, Krisna did simply pull up her own recorded that she copied earlyer from the stored files on board the Harmony as she examined the layout her self from her seat using a little resorces from her omni tool as possible to pull up a 3D display, curious as to what this station was ment for but she was sure there had to be records some were with in the ADD files her omni tool helped its self too with its stay in lnas care. Destiny however was correct agin that present would be suprise for both of them.

It was shortly afther the warning klaxon sounded and Krisna sat up in her seat and looked around curiously. "Whats going on?" Krisna asked befor looking to what ever her lover was refering too. "Whats sealed?" Krisna asked agin.

“Huh?” Hope moved over to Scorch's console glancing at the console read out and hitting a few buttons to find out where they were venting oxygen from.

“It's a breech in one of the doors, we'll have to weld it close. Are there any arc welders?” She glanced to Shelia as she asked. She figured she knew what caused the leak too. “And we'll need to get you into a suit as a precaution. Alright, someone's got t stay here. We can keep in touch with the radios in our helmets … we'll also need a sheet of metal for the breach to weld as a quick fix for now at least yeah big,” she spread her hands not even seeing the breach she had a fair idea of what caused it. Believing it was the Xagi she turned to Scorch.

“You'll be best coming with me, Kris you stay here.”

“A present?” Scorch lightened up some and grinned as Krissy moved away replaced by Hope as she hit this button and that the take a look at the damaged areas of the ship, namely the second that they had to fix.

Hope was back to giving orders though and Shelia nodded. “Arc Welders? Yeah they're standard, you can get one in any storage room but the sheets of metal … the box that the back up drive was in was metal you could cut down whatever shape from it though you'll find that in the cargo bay, cargo bay B …”

Scorch seemed surprised that she was being selected but not overly so. Something dangerous had to be here, she assumed. “You stay, Krissy and I will handle this. You're still achy and -”

“Why don't we all just go. It's not as if anyone can do anything from here and I can suit up along the way instead of you having to lug a suit around.”

“Alright then, we stay together, let's move out.”

Krisna looked between her two lovers and Shelia as they all spoke, hearing it was a leak in the doors and they needed arch welder to fix it, what ever that was, Krisna thought as quickly turned and grabbed her omni tool and flipped it open disingaging the scanner and rejoined them around Destiny's console to discuss the plan.

"Yah...I dont like the idea of splitting up either... I think we should all go together..." Krisna said frightenly, agreeing with Shelia. Splitting didnt feel like a good idea, nor did being alone. It made her feel better knowing they would all be together.

"Ok... its settled...." Krisna would smile at her lovers befor looking to Shelia, eyeing her head to toe then moved closer. "ok lets get you ready!" Krisn arould offer to help Shelia get suited up befor they left dragging her off.

Meanwhile befor they left the bridge, Krisna would find Hope, hugging her from behind to get the womens attention.

"Wait!.... Dont forget your present!" Krisna would say as she tightly hugged the agent and waited for her to turn around befor popping up to sweetly kiss her on the lips with a passtionate kiss. Afther a shared momment Krisna would slowly pull away to smile and hugg her one more time. "Here... take this..." Krisna would step back and pull up her omni tool and point it in Hopes direction as it flipped open to form a new digitaly constructed item just for Hope.

Slowly the omni tool digistructed a very familure tool Hope would recigonize as a sword but unlike others this one was formed from hard light almost pixilated together.

It glowing gold, nealy transparent like pixilated glass. The sword was build of a similure effect as Krisna's holo drones as the travler reached out and took the blade by its hilt and held it out for Hope to take as she smiled kindly offring her the gift. "I know you like theses kind of primitive weapons... but you left your other one behind... so I thought...."

“Ow, gentle,” her limbs still ached from earlier though she did not pull away. Rather she turned in Kris' arms and eased into the kiss that followed that taste lingering there on her lips. Gold eyes go wide in surprise as the omni tool works it's magic and she finds herself hugging Kris again, the excitement covered any achy feeling that she felt as she took up the offered blade.

It was much lighter than her own being comprised f light though her personal weapon of choice wasn't too heavy either. Nagi steel was a lighter alloy.

Stepping back so as not t hit anyone she makes a few practice swings to try it out. There was no weight so judging where the blade was other than sight itself was going to be trickier though she was up for that challenge. She hoped not to need the blade though she knew better. There were Xagi on the ship, she knew it, though she hoped it was not many. They were still a ways from the base so these could be those that drifted off into the darkness. It could be that there was just one of them.

She still did not want to alarm the girls, however but a warning was in order first she spoke to Kris. “This is fantastic, thank you. Your Nagi fortune … You will find true happiness. Lucky color, blue; unlucky colors green and gold.”

It was a little hint as to the Xagi slimes. “Helmets on. You can take them off when I say so.” Again this was from the slime though the gold slime really didn't work on her it had to be ingested though the green just had to make contact. Hopefully there were only a few. Time to run pest control. She slung her rifle over a shoulder and took point after Shelia suited up ...

There had been a station nearby that had the suits and Shelia geared up. Synch up her radio with the others Scorch watched the display. The OMNI tool was just fantastic though she would never truly understand it. It had not been her place to.

“Hey. HEY!” It was almost as if she was jealous about the kiss though she was not. “Where's mine?” After receiving her kiss to Scorch sealed the helmet in place. Something was up, Hope didn't want to say something to alarm them she supposed though it was fairly obvious to her that something was going on. She had been a pirate captain after all and had a knack for danger sense.

When they had been on their way they stopped at a storage room and got a few arc welders. So much for having to lug a suit back she should have guessed that there would be some nearby for the bridge crew.

As they made their way along they heard some rattling in the vents. “What the -”

The suit sucked in one way, she had to loose it around her hands at least to generate her flames though she had her plasma pistol at least. She covered the vent and urged the others to keep moving. Nothing happened and they got to the cargo bay where they could cut up the box.

“Shouldn't we have checked out the damage first?”

“Probably but the cargo bay was closer. Besides we've cut up only one facing of the box so if we need anything bigger we can just come -”

A vent tore open then and in poured forth the Xagi at least half a dozen of the spherical purple creatures with a quartet of tentacles that came off of the body, one at each point of the compass ...

"Good! I'm happy you like it." Krisna smiled, watching as Hope tested the blade as it shimered in her lovers hand as she took hold on the hilt. It was accually weightless, being comprised of harden pixilated light like it was forged from a sun beam. Also unbreakable, and sharper then known subtance in the know univirse incapable of losing it edge no matter what it cuts but Hope will soon know.... But hearing her Nagi fortune made her giggle befor she steped closer to embrace her agent lover agin and smile sweetly. "I doute the color of your eyes is unluck..." Krisna said befor she shared one last kiss with Hope, pressing her lips to hers in a tender loving kiss. Passionatly locking lips with Hope in a long kiss befor appruptly pulled away, jumping having been startled by he voice of her jelious Destiny.

Krisna gave Destiny a smile and stepped back from Hope to walk over, swaying her hips as she approced to cutly hugg her love gently and pop up to peak her on the cheek with a similure kiss only to giggle and smile up to Destiny. "You dont get your present yet silly. Just wait, its super special!" Krisna said teasingly, giving her love a sly parting kiss befor she walked away to assist Shelia with getting suited up befor pulling the helmet up over her head and locked in in place.

It was mostly uneventful as the four moved out to the cargo hold, but their wasa hold up on the way as tey heard a creepy sound coming from the vents as Krisna could not help but be curious as she wanted to look closer if it wasnt for her lovers pulling them along. Still Krisna sent up a drone to check it out but it proble never made it back.... as meanwhile the four made it to the cargo bay as Krisna quickly looked for the large metal box the drive was carried in as she looked it over to think but befor she cold state her oppion a vent burst open near by as a group of critters poured from the vent starting Krisna as she screamed and fell back on her rump. "W-what in the....!?"

“Not my eyes dear ...” Hope smiled at Kris before she watched the Time Traveler approach her lover who had only acted jealous it seemed but she had only caught a few words in that exchange, namely something about a present ...

Nagi steel katana's were very sharp and could cut through most matters though this sword had been better. It was the perfect weapon for her. She had battled hand to hand often enough learning the deadly dance f the sword Mistress.

Being raised by the Nagi the creatures looked upon art forms as a blessing and even the art of fighting was a delicate art form for them to Master regardless if it were hand to hand martial arts or their blades. Hope had dedicated herself to the sword and painting of course. And thus while she was only a moderate shot with the rifle she was downright deadly with the blade.

Appreciating the gesture she found that she was still somewhat achy but that was nothing that she could not endure for herself. She grew worried, the Xagi were here and they were already in the vents. How many were there this time?

But they managed to make it to the cargo bay, a scream announce the presence of the creatures as they streamed forth. “RUN!” She did not know how many there were though she pressed forward, weaving her blade and body as she cut defending the rear of the group until the other were clear so she could drawback and cover their asses.
