DID Shoot and Loot,Gosnells Story

I hope Neol doesn't win up as a sacrifice, I find I'm getting rather attached to him. maybe he'll be lucky enough to survive the burny death guns and steal a ship for his own DiD?

@ Kirlack,If he steals one of my ships it really will be dead is dead strapped to the front of my ship with a copy of getsu grandmas in his hands

I was thinking post explosion of current ship (as in once he is considered dead in your DiD)

Neol might come across as uneducated and corrupt...well he is, but he knows better than to bite the hand that feeds him (and clothes him, albeit in a bloody nuns robe!

)

Body covered in scars, always picking a fight, Drake had to had 2 marines ALWAYS accompanying him..

Part of Scion Drakhars story.

OR

E'den
Female split
very provacative, naughty, knows when to flash a bit o skin, knows when to aim a blaster to the guys head.
always seems to be trying to seduce,lure, and various other naughty things with anyone.

She is/was part of MOTB's story

Hey nate thanks for the suggestions but I dont want to poach any other authors pilots,especially if they are active dead is dead,especially admiral drake,the ordinance he could send after me dosnet bear thinking about.
But if you have any new ones i will be glad to hear them.

P.S I am currently reading From nothing my god what a good bloody job,by fair and above the best I have read on here.

in my mind its a way to tie stories together in my head XD besides lucifer has been in 4 DiD's*Technically* 3 of my own and scions.
also E'den is in 2 i think...
Triaxx's and MOTB's
think of it as b4 or after the other.*like for instance Nukeslugs Steve. lost during one DiD, played as in the next XD

but fair enough XD

hmmm..
this will most likely be an on the spot idea

Gu't l'ess
Male split.
Only earned his name from running from a fight he couldnt win.
hes a rather old pirate, most split pirates dont even make a year.
he did, tho the reason for that caused him to have his name

dont be fooled tho, good pilot or so i've heard

And ship name?
hmm
"Tactical Withdrawal"

that sound good? XD i can think more up XD

Chapter 10
.....................................................................................................................
Where to begin, christ one week ago I was in a stolen Discoverer dodging argon police scans now I have a 3 man gang, and a very healthy bank balance.Well I guess should start at the beginning of my operations so to speak.

Sitting in a bar on a trading station in Cloud Base South East,I looked at my 2 pilots,Neol Jerrigan geezer,pirate,rogue, but reliable? Was he someone I could trust with a fully loaded laser bay behind my ship?
Then there was Wingnut, no question about it he was unhinged, and exceptionally violent,but behind this there lay a sharp mind, a mind capable of devising a complex plan on the go.The terran thing for instance was it an act ,was this all a part of his plan maybe only on some subconcious level he knows.Either way this is what I got and for the time being it will do.As it stands I intend to increase the reasons they dont betray me.

"Ok gentlemen,I have given you ships and I have given you guns,And in your case Neol a very fetching Nuns outfit"

"As long as your not into nuns aswell I will be more than bleedin happy to wear it"Grinned Neol,His eyes carefully observing for any reaction.
A poor poker player I tought to myself,his eyes betray his toughts,he has alot of questions, he has the same distrust for me as I have for him.

"Now the question your probally asking is why, wheres the gain for gosnell in trying to save your lives.Let me tell you there is a big gain.The line of work I specialise in is removing peoples property from there ships,and I intend to start up a little opera..."

"You want us to be pirates,and in exchange you will give each of us 8% of the take"Drawled Wingnut cutting me off mid sentence, a strange clarity showing in his usually wild eyes.

I swear both me and neol had our jaws on the floor.

"Well um .... maybe 8% is a bit much",I stutterered regaining my composure a little

"8% Is standard on earth,That is what it shall be I think"This time the clarity had vanished and the purely feral look that I had observed in the alley next to the bar had reemerged.

I realized then that if I meekly agreed I may as well have put a giant target reticule on my back.
"8%"I nodded slowly."Alright...But our arangement will have fine print, I run this gig and I decide which targets,I decide where I decide when,all military ordinance we capture I have control over.However all food,and low level tech we scavenge I will increase your take to 20 percent each

"Thats alot of deciding for one man "Stated Neol,"Maybe spreading the burden would be good for you"

Now was the moment,I had been slowly fingering my phase pistol,I raised the nozzle half an inch and fired under the table the beem cutting into the front of Neols chair,splitting its base in two.Neol looked down frantically trying to tell if he now qualified as a eunach.

"Neol I am not in the habit of repeating myself,one more challenge and the next shot will be a centimetre higher"

I had won them,the paranid was smiling slightly,"I should have said 10%"An even wider grin spreading over his face.

Neol was still absorbed in what use to be his chair.
"Bloody hell,how da....Ok guess I can be obliging,seriously guv,we are tucker,BLOODY HELL!" His composure gone he reach for his spacefuel and drank half a pint in 1 gulp.

"Alright"He gasped, dragging another chair from the next table... so boss how are we going to do this"Neol said his eyes streaming from the fuel.

"Well there is war on you know,and that means alot of folk will be wanting supplies, lots of supplies,do either of you know how much ordinance go's into a just a tiny task force let alone a fleet,ammo for the guns the guns themselves,Shields, replacement shields, food and drink for the pilots and crews, missiles ,teladianium, Cloth rimes, Quantum tubes, Microchips, Computer components, the list go's on and on.
2 days ago just before I tried it on with a blonde in a suana......"

"Bloody pervert"

"I was asked by an old contact, to scan frieghters for valubles, I only managed to find 2, do you know how much those to had aboard,...1.2 million credits,1.2 MILLION CREDITS"I repeated letting the figure be absorbed,Even wingnut looked astounded.

"Sweet bloody jesus"said neol his eyes shining with possibilitie's

"Now it seems to me that alot of goods travel straight threw pirate space,Its quite understandable really, its the quickest way from the core sectors to the fringe sectors and north into the battlelines.I said unrolling my star map onto the table," Elenha's Fortune,and Priest Pity are the western entrance.But they are not where I plan to operate, no the place we will shoot and loot, I said smiling...will be Haticvahs Fate.You see Haticvahs is The crossroads of all the traffic that comes through,The south gate leads to Paranid fringe sectors full of juicy tech fabs , through the north gate Split space and lots of weapons fabs, And to the east Argon sectors,The key part of my plan.
I have a contact working on the main argon shipyard in Light of heart.In exchange for a sizeable "tax" on goods we deposit to him he will sell on our merchandise.Also with certain credits reaching certain people within the argon administration,blind eyes will be turned and few questions asked.Why would they ignore pirates operating in there territory,because we provide a service a valuable service,The war is a proverbial bottomless pit of needed resources,resources that may otherwise end up arming the Paranid among others.Food that might go to colonys belonging to other races will now end up going to argon colonys,strentening the argons.When this war ends,there will be alot of power bids made and argon goverment wants to come out on top.

"So in a way we are doinjg our bit for king and country"Smiled Neol

"Never saw myself as a patriot"

As I was explaining I had glanced at wingnut,he ardently believes he is a terran,how would dealing directly with his imagined race's enemys affect him.

"I like your plan,I work for you ,but if I wont be able to target argons I want to have my freedom of violence with the paranid dogs".Wingnut drawled, completely straight faced.

Well gentlemen that covers it,Lets drink a round and head out.

OOH Shiney looks like little red pirate hood has wandered in all on hers lonesome.

"Lads... Lock your targets on that Nova raider,We got us some target practice......"

2 mins later,

"Computer did I just hit someone in a spacesuit"

"YES THAT IS AFIRMATIVE.....AGAIN LOGS SUGGEST LOOKING OUT WINDSCREEN REDUCES PEDESTRIAN COLISIONS"

Lads I think working with you is going to be very profitable....

Computer tranfer system control over to us.......

Boss is this good enough?! do we get out 8% yet!!!!!!???

Chapter 10/Part 2
...........................................................................................................

'NOVA CONTROL NOW SET TO YOUR CONTROL CAPTAIN'

Lets see what we have here,Ok Nova Raider,M3 class..hmm speed not great ,but reasonable against frieghters,Laser generator quite good,shielding very nice,cargo Ideal for my purposes
'Computer what is the novas hull integrity at present'

'HULL INTEGRITY IS AT 82%,MAJORITY OF DAMAGE IS TO THE OUTER HULL,SHIP SYSTEMS ARE ONLINE HOWEVER MAIN COMPUTER UPDATES AND WEAPONRY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2 PHASED REPEATER GUNS HAVE BEEN OVERLOADED'

This just keeps getting better 2 phased repeater guns,That last bit had made up my mind ejecting from Taking The Piss,I started to do some repairs to the nova,Neol and wingnut patrolling around me should any unwanted attention should show up.
Repairs completed and I decided what to do transfering wingnut to my discoverer,and ejecting all the weapons and shielding(more on that problem later)and all the best scanners from his jaguar and literally carrying them over to the nova(let me tell you Ires are heavy even without goram gravity).And lastly I decided to transfer 2 more things Hopping back into 'Taking the piss',I comm the Computer.
'CAPTAIN?

'Before I eva over to the nova I want you to transfer your computer core and memory bank to the nova and transfer the jaguars to here,can you do that'She may be as anoying as frak but in fairness she is on the ball,and well usefull,christ a friggin computer and im calling it a she,ah frak,must be getting sentimental in my old age.

'TRANSFERING NOW,LOGS SUGGEST I SHOULD SHOW APPRECIATION AT THE TRANSFER...THANK YOU'

With everything completed,I eva over and surveyed my new ship,oh my frakkin god its got a fold out bed and a small toilet in the cargo bay,still cramped but a toilet halleluah,no more hose from exhaust tube for gosnell.I think thats why blubber the pilot got paid 2800 a month,I mean thats demeaning can you imagine a long haul flight.
'Looking good guv...Neol commed over sounding happy,maybe we can get some for us too.

'Wingnut like fighter Wingnut like your fighter,Wingnut want heavilly shielded fighter too' Boomed wingnut swerving in front of me.

Ordering the jaguar to cloud base southeast,we headed off to wards dannas chance trying to avoid any pirates looking for Neol,however it turned out the station boss was after spreadfing the word,Neol didnt just have a bounty he had a goram fortune riding on him.
'Neol,You may want to check your sector anouncements list'

'Neol ,you still breathing or are you having a stroke'

'15 MILLION CREDITS HOLY SHIT,GUV I am a bleedin dead man,guv please lets get the frak out of here'Croaked Neol.

'Whats 16% of 15 million boss'Wingnut private commed me

'Its the get shot by gosnell amount understand my crew,my responsibility you betray him and I kill you no arguements'

'Wingnut no fool,I make joke,a hysterically laughing wingnut responded.Funny thing is I think it was a joke,wingnut may be unhinged but Ithink he is trustworthy.

'Ok Neol,Try not to worry I have asked computer to alter our broadcast signals so that any ships that don't freight scan us, will think we are just another raiding band,We will need to avoid other pirates just in case but we will manage dont worry'
So with this in mind we set off veering 50km off the ecliptic between gates managing to avoid the larger groups of raiders finall y reaching Haticvahs.Deciding that the lads needed to work off the nervous tension of navigating hostile space I found something they could play with.

'Lads,have you ever swam with dolphins'

One dolphin hauler,A frieght scan revealing a large cargo bay full of 4356 e cells,Ordering Neol to hit it from the bottom and neol from the rear I swerved in to hit its side,this being the most efficient way to avoid crossfire,Swooping in we began our assualt Wingnut hitting slightly before us our fire rapidly deplting the borons shields.When.....

"Computer Please note I didnt hit this pedestrian, and keep it in your logs"

'OF COURSE CAPTAIN,LOGS INDICATE NOVA RAIDERS HAVE LARGER WINDSCREENS....'

Transfering control over to me I examined the cargo bay which was full,well this could prove useful a ship like this can hold a lot of loot,so i ordered it to fly automatically to the heavy weapons complex in Aladna hill,sell the ecells for 17c each earning me a nice 74000 credits,I then ordered it to dock at the Aladna hill trading station Renaming it 'Ooh Shiny'

Gunne damn it! 15 MILLION?!?!

I reckon I might be working fer the Guv'nor a good long ol' time 'afore I can get that paid off. Still, 'e's paid me over 14k already, so I'm ooh...half a percent o' the way there? 'ow comes I always gets into trouble over women...

The Guv's new ride looks good. Maybe next time we'll gets a Mamba and I can fly somethin' what don' resemble a paper airplane. I'll 'ave to ask 'im to be on the lookout fer a Mamba Vanguard maybe, so long as 'e don' shoot at me again. Scary shit. Course, if I right piss 'im off, he might just sell me to that station master...

Just a few questions,In the last chapter I gave a breakdown on prizemoney for the pilots,do you want me to continue with this,as I think it adds to the naval aspect personally.Hopefully at some stage I will purchase small factories to use as bank accounts for the pilots.
Let me know your toughts.
