FTL: Faster Then Light: Pirate Moon

[Grey Star]

Between Jaxter and Grey.

5 Years After the Kestral destroyed the Rebel Flagship at the last Rebel victory over the Federation.

A man in blue with googles and a hat looked at a Nesasio Class Stealth Cruiser.

"Has it been upgraded to my specifications?" He asked. A Federation man flipped through a clipboard.

"Added mind control, hacking, shielding." The man replied. "Had to sell most of the reactor though."

The man in blue scoffed. "We'll make it. All we have to do now is get a crew. A crew to deliver an important package to a Federation Fleet and make it through pirate infested space. Ever since we won the war, this section of sectors, covered in bloody pirates. In fact, my first mate should be arriving any moment now. For the maiden voyage of the Bird of Prey."

"Sir, it sounds like you don't like that name." The Federation man replied.

"I've had, other ships I named after a person dear to me." The man in blue answered.

 

[Nick]

(Name: Jet Race: AI )

Jet walks up, his hardlight body just translucent enough to where you can see through his head. Hello capn'

 

[Grey Star]

The man looked at Jet.

"Only two crew members? You'll die quickly." The Federation man said. The man in blue waved him off.

"Oh shut up, if people can survive with only one engi on a ship I can do with an A.I. Name's Doctor Star. You are Jet right?"

 

[Nick]

Jet nodded, "Whenever you're ready"

 

[Grey Star]

"Got a few things to do before we take off. Might want to get comfortable." Star said walking to and boarding the ship. He made his way to the piloting and turned it on, before slipping a certain computer card inside. The lights of the ship flickered on as the engines purred.

 

[Nick]

Jet followed close behind "I sense another AI within this vessel sir"

 

[Grey Star]

"Nonsense." Star said. "I'd bite your tounge and not look in the secondary cargo bay if I were you."

 

[Nick]

"Understood captain, may I have remote control over internal nano-bot construction equipment to assist in system management?"

 

[Grey Star]

"Actually, I'll let you in on a secret. I do have a massive AI built into this ship, running all systems at maximum efficiency." Star admitted. "But it's top secret, I stole it while the Kestral Cruiser was fighting the Rebel Flagship. A little bit of hacking. Almost got me killed but, do not talk to it."

 

[Nick]

"I see, so you were a member of the amazing Kestrel crew?"
