Alliana gave a brisk nod. Seeing as how Kai wouldn't answer, she grasped the door knob and peeked inside the room. Kai was curled into a ball on his bed, snoring lightly. Alliana shook her head then closed the door.
"Well, I'll let you get your things settled, and I'm going to move the ship, we've been in one spot for almost a whole day and it's making me antsy. I'll be in the control room if you need me. Your room should be outfitted with everything, sheets, shampoos, towels, etc. There's an intercom inside your room so if you need any toiletries or stuff, call for Rena. She'll run to the to the storage room to get what you need."
Striding off back to the control room, Alliana shoved her hands into her pockets, muttering,
"Three mechanics....plus me, J and the kids...we should finish soon...those damn Bathars get on my nerves..." Sighing, she reached a hand into her vest, and took put a beaten scroll. She unrolled it and stared at it hard for a second. Then she rolled it back up and stuffed it back into her vest pocket.
"Not much time left..."

Phoenix nodded back at Allaina. She peeked inside once she saw that the door was open and smiled. "He's kinda cute when he's sleeping..." She pulled her head back out and went to open the door to her room.
She looked back and smiled at Allaina. "Thanks again. I should be here it you need me though. If not whistle. Nightmare should hear it and he'll come get me." She stepped inside her room.
Her eyes widened at the well done room. Her bed was huge, the walls simply amazed her. "Bloody hell... I've never had anything close to this." She told herself. "I think we're gonna like it her Nighmare." She looked down at her cat who obidiently followed her.
Nightmare ran all the way to the bed. He found a place for himself on one of the pillows. She laughed and continued forward. She plopped her bag on the bed and took her shoes and socks off, exposing her black toe polish. She laid down right next to Nightmare and closed her eyes. "Night Kitty..."

Kai groans as he walks out of his room in his boxers, "Whats goin on with all the noise?" Kai scratches his butt as he walks to the kitchen, grabbing a jug of water and taking a swig before setting it down on the counter, "Alliana? Natalia....Anyone?" J beeps silently as he enters the room. "Oh hey bud, whats goin on?" J beep a short story of what he knows, "Eh? New mechanic? Sure hope I still get paid well." Kai sighs and takes another long swig of water before returning it to the fridge, "So, off to the defense corridor huh...maybe i should get pants on first." Kai heads off to his room with J following.

Nightmare tossed and turned with his claws outstretched. His claw scratched Phoenix’ head. She awoke abruptly and sat up. “Bloody hell!” She smacked Nightmare and got off the bed.
She rolled up the sleeves of her hoodie, exposing her several black bangles. She took a brush out of her bag and took the tangles out of her hair. She checked her makeup with her compact. Her eyeliner was slightly smudged; her lips needed a touch of red lipstick. The red made her fangs more noticeable.
She walked across the room and walked through the door. “Come on you bloody bugga you..” Nightmare looked up and ran across the room. He jumped into her arms with ease. She began to pet him as she down in the hallway.
She watched the few activity that went on. What do I expect? Everyone to be husslin and busslin in the bloody living quarters? She sighed. She brought her head down to look at her beloved friend. Phoenix heard footsteps and looked up. She saw Kai walking in his boxers with J close behind. “Ello luv. Like the breeze or something?”

"Ya damn right I do!" Kai grins as he steps into his dorms, suiting up for work. He holsters his pistol and brushes himself off, "Lets go J." Kai looks at the bot, "I thought you knew how to get there...Jeez your useless." Kai groans and walks out, finding his way to the defense network.
((Sorry so small, gotta get to school bye!!!))

Phoenix slowly gets up and lets Nightmare down. “I’m the new mechanic by the way. Name’s Phoenix.” She smiled at Kai, exposing her fangs. “I’ll be seeing you in a couple minutes I guess…” She walked into her dorm, giggling slightly. Nightmare followed Phoenix obediently.
She took off her hoodie and threw it on her bed. Phoenix put on her favorite pair of red converse that were heavily beat up with writing and doodles. “Ello lovelies…” She began to walk out but turned around. Phoenix opened the front pocket of her backpack and took out a black hair tie. She snapped it around her wrist. With a turn of her heel she walked out the door.
“Can you sniff out Kai? He’s probably going where we need to be.” Nightmare nodded the best he could. Phoenix followed without a sound. The halls seemed all the same except slight difference in color or a stain. “Bloody hell…” she whispered to herself.

Intercoms throughout the entire ships crackled to life as Natalia's serene voice was heard echoing.
"Captain, coordinates have been sent. ETA 21 seconds." Alliana humphed as she was the only one in the control room, looking down at the town they had just left. Idly, she pushed buttons and pulled levers.
"Attention all on deck. Traveling 2000 kilometers. ETA 18 seconds." She looked out into the blue sky, noticing no one else. Good. No Bathars.
"10 seconds. Five. Three. Two. One." Suddenly the ship gave a huge jolt and a lurch forward, the metal creaking. Alliana smirked as they hovered over a small air island.
"Sorry for the jolt folks. I'll meet you all in the control room shortly." She turned the intercom off and started her walk towards the defense corridor. She knew every single hall way, every single door, every single intercom, even the different walls. Alliana had on a black tunic underneath her black pants and fishnet shirt. HEr hair was braided, tossed to the side, trailing to her stomach. Licking her lips, her face was bare of makeup but she had a simple kind of beauty which chalked make up as unnecessary. She reached the defense corridor, seeing Natalia holding the parts up with her mind. Alliana noted one piece floating around and scrutinized it.
"New part?" Natalia nodded simply, moving her hand and a large engine floated lazily across the room. The defense corridor wasn't really a corridor more of a room about as big as a football field. Several engines and control boards littered the room, work tables with broken and new parts. Tkal and Rena were sweeping the floor and picking up spare screws and bolts.

Phoenix heard Allaina’s familiar voice into the intercom. The announcement was very much appreciated. At least she bloody cares whether a girl falls on her bum or not. She laughed slightly, then covered it up. Her steps gradually became smaller with each step. The ship took off smoother than she suspected. Though the jolt took her by surprise. Phoenix’ agility and balance were highly adapted.
She continued to follow her Nightmare, seeing he too had no trouble adjusting himself to the sudden change. “Good boy…” Phoenix started to believe that following her cat took too long. A memory of a blueprint she once got her hands on came into her head. According to the blueprint… now where’s the bloody passageway? She knew the ship was similar in proportion and maybe even layout.
She headed towards the doorway in front of her and took the right entry. The walls became plainer than the elegance in the other rooms. A familiar smell hit her nose. It was the slight same scent of her shop. Phoenix smiled, setting Nightmare down. “Have fun and don’t be a pest.” She looked deep into his eyes. Nightmare gave her a meow in response and trotted off.
Allaina looked beautiful. Phoenix felt like she was even more beautiful than her. There was no jealousy, just doubt in her own self. She took in how Allaina’s simple elegance made her more breathtaking. Her long hair was shin and glossy even though it was in a braid. I wonder what she looks like with it down… then her thoughts were brought to her own body. She was rather short, only about 5’7” with black hair that brushed her breasts and a single blonde bang streak. Phoenix knew she was pretty. Compared to Allaina, she felt like leftovers.
Phoenix shook her head, realizing she was staring. “Oh- uhm… is there anything I can do?” Her lip was bit to the point she slightly bled. She blushed almost as red as her lipstick. Phoenix looked away at Tkal and smiled at him.

Alliana wiped her cheek and a grease smear spread across it.
"Yes, and expect long work hours for the next couple of days. We need to hustle because I want this defense system up pronto and before the Bathars figure out I'm here. Ugh, you haven't seen Kai around have you??? We need as much help as we can get. You can either help me, Natalia, or the twins."
She continued working on the large engine hovering in the air. Wrenches, screwdrivers, bolts, screws, flash lights, and other sorts of tool were lying in a neat order on the long table stretched beside the engine. Natalia was a few meters away, working on the actual wall. It seemed there was a protective wall over the actual engine and wiring of the system to hide it from view and damage. Natalia was holding a long thin metal stick that glowed at the end, and she was prodding different colored wiring in the wall. She prod a red one, and it did nothing. She spoke into a floating bot next to her.
"Copper wire 097 is unresponsive." She prodded a green thick wire and the stick glowed a soft green.
"Emergency breaker lights are in working order." She said. Rena and Tkal propped their brooms up against the wall as they stared at the stuff they had picked up from nook and crannies on the floor. They now began to sort through it, placing junk from parts, screws from bolts, and so on.
Alliana mumbled as she took a wrench and tried getting to a part of the engine that was falling off and hanging on by one bolt.
"Stupid Bathars....ruining my ship....constant pain in my a**...constant gold outta my treasury..." She continued cursing as she tried loosening the bolt holding the part to the engine.

Hangs from his legs on the ceiling, "Well, thats not nice, no one noticed me, oh, Alliana, you had a leak up here." he drops down and sweeps his leg around, landing gracefully, "Your welcome..." he wipes the grease off in his hair and grins as he examines the room, "Eh, should only take about 2 or 3 days..that is if no one screws it up..." looks at the twins, "Anyway, I'll help the twins with their agenda first." he flips out a wrench from his sleeve and spins it between his fingers like a poker chip. "Lead the way sergeant Tkal!" Kai gives a silly salute and winks at Alliana. J wheels past Natalia and follows after his master beeping and buzzing.

Phoenix rolls her eyes at smacks Kai. “Seriously luv? Seriously?” She walks over and takes a thorough analysis at the engine. “I can get the engine running in about a day tops if I get working now and have some assistance.” She whispered for her cat to summon her. “Go get Mommy’s tools.”
Phoenix observed the engines condition. To her the engine itself was in good shape, though the connective wires and fluid was leaking into other areas. “The external damage is nothing compared to the internal damage. Look here luv,” She looked over at Allaina and began poking at the wires that were shattered compared to containers filled with oil.
She sighed and bbean working by first taking out the broken wires. Nighma pushed on Phoenix' thigh when he retuned. She opened the bag and took out extra wires. The began measuring the wires and replaced them. "Don't know who the buggers are who did this bloody crap... gonna bloody kill them..." She noticed she began curing as well.

Suddenly, Natalia paused in her work. She dropped the tools in her hand, and tuned around abruptly, heading towards the control room.
"Captain," she said, tapping on Alliana's shoulder before leaving the room. The twins looked and dropped their things as well and Tkal whooped.
"All right!!!" Alliana groaned.
"Just ******** fantastic!" And suddenly, the ship joltesd violently and alarms began blazing.
Natalia's serene voice sounded strained as she came onto the loujd speaker.
"All hands on deck, we have Bathars in the vicinity, please all hands on deck, report to battle stations."

Phoenix stopped her work for a quick while as she saw Natalia run over near Allaina. "What's going on exactly Allaina?" She reached out her arm and pulled on it slightly. Nightmare began to growl at the movement. Phoenix began to remember that he didn't like hights.
She held onto Nightmare with a secure grip. He began to settle slightly. Phoenix sighed. She got up when the sirens blared and grabbed Jad's arm. "Let's go!" Then she realized she didn't know where to go. "Uhm Allaina? Where do we go?"
She began to fidget with anticipation. Phoenix knew that deep inside she wanted thrill, of a fight, of a chase, of an anything.

Kai groans and runs out of the rooms with his fangs glistening, "Time for a fight then?!" he grins sadistically, "I call first blood!" he pulls out dual pistols and then stops, "Wait...they haven't boarded yet, ******** it then, call me when they try to come onboard!" Kai slumps down in the corner and brushes hair infront of his face as he drifts into a sleep. J smacks him and continues to the bridge.

Phoenix looked over in all the panic to see Kai exclaming first blood and the thriil of a fight. Phoenix felt it too. Though it seemed he was a little too thrilled with the idea of probable battle. She saw him walking over and falling asleep in a corner.
She walked over in a few graceful strides and sighed when she was only a few inches away from his dozing body. Phoenix kneeled down and brougth her mouth to his ear. "Now if you don't get up and begin to help I will drag your a** the whole way to our stations." She managed to speak such a threat in a tone as if she were speakling to a lover, or trying to seduce.
Phoenix then brought her finger under his chin to bring him to look at her. Nighmare knew this all too well. He struggled from her grasp and ran out the room. Phoenix figured he was heading for the room. "I mean it luv. Move...please? With me on top?" She tried soothing over.
As long as she got him to move, she would be happy. "Would you like to help me J? I would love you forever if you did." Phoenix called to Kai's bot.
