Space Smugglers RP: (no spots): Chapter Three starting.

I went to my post, the engine room. Everything seemed to be running smoothly. Still, something seemed to be odd to me. I looked around, trying and failing to shake off the feeling. Looking around more carefully, I realized what it was with relief. I had simply set my wrench in a place not normal for me. But wait...I remembered putting the wrench in my bag. What was it doing by the engine? I looked closer, realizing with alarm what had happened. Someone had loosened a bolt on the engine. If that snapped...I rushed, pulling out my wrench and tightening it again. Shutting my eyes and praying, I felt the bolt settle down. Sighing, I went to the intercom. Figuring the captain would still be in the cockpit at this point, I connected there. "Captain, can you hear me?"

 

[Shapsters]

"Coming in clear Antonia, what seems to be the problem?" James asked whilst nervously waiting for a response, not very often does she feel the need to contact him, a pretty solid mechanic, for a woman.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

"I think we have a saboteur on board. I found my wrench somewhere besides where I left it, and one of the bolts on the engine was loose. If it had snapped while I was working on the engine, it could have wrecked the engine and left us without power for a while. And what's worse, they did this while we were in the briefing room."

 

[Shapsters]

"God dammit! I did a thorough check on the crew members! I'll be right down!" James rushed out of the cockpit and toward the engine room.

He arrive a couple minutes later and swung the door open,

"Lets see this bolt!"

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

"I fixed it already, but it is a bit crooked." I pointed out the bolt. "I think he must have been hiding nearby, saw me put my wrench away, then loosened it while we were being briefed. He may have gotten off board without being noticed...Or he could still be on board, hiding."

 

[Shapsters]

James examined the bolt, it had definately been tampered with,

"Good work, keep an eye out ok? You see anything suspicious, call me again." James walked over to the intercom,

Alright people, we have a saboteur on board, Richard, be on your guard, anything suspicious you call me.  Rick and Tyler, you are guarding the only entrance to the cargo hold, I want one of you inside the door, one of you outside, keep in constant communication.  Evryone be on your guard and keep constant communication with each other, if you do not get a response within 10 seconds, assume the other person is dead and take action.   I will have my radio on at all times, as will all of you.

When I heard the cap' speak like that I got nervous. So there was someone on board who would be dangerous? Strange. Everytime they went on a mission the ship would be checked multiple times. I called in to the cap', reporting everything's fine. I loosened the hold on one of my pistols and held a knife in my left hand.

They would not get to me.

 

[goatzilla8463]

I heard the intercom and thanked god that something had finally happened. I loaded my gun and smirked. No one would get past me.

I turned on my radio and spoke into it.

"Tyler? You there? I'm going to check the cargo. Be a good boy and guard the outside would ya?"

 

[ae86gamer]

I felt the the captain sit next to me. But I had been so focused that I hadn't even heard his question or him leave the room. When I finally turned back around to answer him he had left.

"All alone. Again."

I heard the Captain over the speakers. I turned on the com and spoke to James.

"A saboteur? Uh.. Everything is fine here in the cabin. What did this guy.. or girl sabotage?"

 

[Outcast107]

"Yeah Yeah I hear you." He sigh, great the plan just started and could already ready be ruin. He check his gun to make sure everything was working as order. As he sat down on a crate and waited for orders to come as he guard. He look around, kept a eye on things while he rest on the crate.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

I followed the captain out of the briefing room, curious about what I was to do. There wasn't much for a hacker or computer person to do whilst loading cargo onto a ship. Possibly I was going to have to do one of the lesser jobs, but I decided no to ask, and just decided to wait patiently for orders to be delivered.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

"The engine. They sabotaged the engine. At least, tried to."

 

[Knight Templar]

"Hey captain" I called over the radio, it was partly a test of the equipment but I also had questions that I probably should have asked during the briefing.
"What kind of enemies does our client have?"

 

[Shapsters]

"Well Jack, thats what I hope Jake here can figure out. I will update you guys if I find anything out anything." James turned off the radio and walked with Jake to the computer room, "Alright, so you are some sort of computer expert right? Get on the computer and open up the transmission from the client. See if you can find anything in the file, a name, a planet, anything. Alright?"

James walked out of the room and began walking around the ship, keeping his guard up,

"Anything to report people? I have got Jake working on the message from the client to see if he can find anything out. Remember to keep in contact, with me as well, never know, he might take me out first." James laughed, but was worried that the person on the ship could be dangerous.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I continues checking over the engines carefully, making sure nothing else was out of order. "Nothing to report, s-" I stopped suddenly, sensing rather than seeing something in the shadows. "Captain, I think the saboteur is-" Once again, I was cut off. But this time, it was by a gunshot, followed by searing pain in my abdomen. I grabbed my wrench tightly. Man, that hurt. I didn't think the injury was lethal, but that guy was not getting out of here without injury. "Captain..." I gasped out over the intercom. "Trouble with the engineer."

 

[Shapsters]

"God dammit! Hand in there Antonia! Richard, get to the engine room! We've got an emergency, Tyler and Rick will both stay at the docking bay, I don't want anyone in, or anyone out, even members of the crew! Jack, we will need you down there too, a gunshot was fired, be on your guard people!"

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

"Don't worry, sir. It's not a serious wound."

 

[Bibliomancer]

Tim drew his pistol. If there was an enemy on board, he had no intention of getting killed. "Orders Captain?" Tim asked. He wasn't a fighter by trade, but if someone was attacking his shipmates, he would be ready to kill.

 

[Knight Templar]

Grabing my medical bag I clicked on my radio, "I'll be down soon all the same". A thought crossed my mind, "damadge the ship, mechanic fixes it, shoot the mechanic, doctor fixes it..."

I pushed the thought away, it could be handled at a later date and there were issues at hand that needed my full attention. I started towards the engine room holding my pistol in what felt like the right way.

 

[Shapsters]

Jack came running up behind James who had almost made it to the engine room.

"Good you're here, where in the hell is Tyler?" he asked wrenching the door open, "Antonia! Where are you? Do you know where the attacker went to? Did he make it out of the engine room."
