The Bell of the Ball

Sorry not been around for a while. House renovations and New Car (to Beat Drews) as well as Holiday and beta release.... busy busy.... so here we are... dribble time



“Hi, This is Clare Comings"
"and Gregg Goings"
"reporting on the annual Impederallinace ball, taking place at Achernar this year. An event where the Crem de la Crem turn out in their finery.

Federation in their outfits with seams so sharp they'd cut through wood.

Alliance in their crossbreed fashion of gaudy but utilitarian.

Imperials, for all their worth trying to be the bell of the ball, Not just happy with outdoing their opposite numbers, but each other.

Here’s Senator Drew arriving in his antique Eunos Roadster, he’s wearing a very dashing bright orange and dayglo pink Jumpsuit and sneakers.

Theft of Splendour

Karie threw talcum powder across the shadowed floor. The dust swirled, revealing the red glow of laser sensors. With careful steps she snuck past them all.

Her augmented contact lenses scanned for hidden threats. She’d disabled the locks remotely, but getting past Imperial security was never easy. Still, all worth it for the grand prize, that which the Imperial nobles so smugly denied her...

As she stepped near the final door it opened by itself. A voice called out, “I’ve been waiting for you.”

She smiled. Inside the princess Isalia awaited, ready for their secret liaison in silken négligée. Splendorous...

Joules and Danni shivered in their cockpit, sat on the floor back to back; frost rimmed the canopy segments.

“How much longer?” Danni said through gritted teeth.
“Until the scope is clear. We still have multiple contacts.”
Danni shook her head, “Really? After three hours?”

She stood up, stiff and cramped, to examine the low-lit console. She paused and then looked closer. Blowing on the display the ‘contacts’ dispersed … all over Joules.

The scented talcum powder made him sneeze.
“In future,” he said quietly, “you work on your splendour somewhere else.”
Danni agreed, intent on raising the power levels.

Banquet

Emerald felt the slightest touch on her elbow. She didn’t look behind, but eased herself to the anteroom. Oh yes, “Merchant” was waiting with a box partially concealed.

Opening the precious box, Emerald squealed with delight: “Talcum Powder, at last!”
“Ssshh, it is not easy to come by, not wise to talk about it aloud.”, whispered the shady figure before disappearing behind the curtains.

You can keep your cheeks soft and smooth if you know the right contacts. You wouldn’t want to look mundane amidst the splendour of the banquet. This is the capital of the Imperial protectorate after all.

"Supremacy in the Skies", a New Brand Coming to a Market Near You!

Commander Keith Richards the 49th twisted the flight stick, bringing the pirate's Asp into his laser fire. Drilling into it's power plant, the Asp exploded in the splendour of a nova, and Keith grinned and sniffed again. "I've never flown this well," he said as he rubbed some extra talcum powder off his face.

A new contact he'd made supplied him with a new brand for his sparkly onesie. Some of it was still floating around as he was applying it to the suit when the pirate jumped him. "Stuff must be lucky. I feel like a million credits today!"

Splendour Trade

Here I am back in Splendour. What a dump. I guess it's one of those ironic names. Those miners sure have a warped sense of humour. It's the main city on this planet. Well actually it's the only city on the planet and calling it a city is to stretch a point. Truth is it's the only settlement here and is little more than a small mining facility. My contacts in the mining company put me on to this. They only supply the basics. I make my money by supplying little luxuries from the core. This time it's talcum powder.

Careers to Their Death

The pain when he tightened the tourniquet around his thigh was excruciating. Hissing through gritted teeth "What's we doin' in this snake-infested hellhole anyways?"

Burke shot him a dirty look "We swallowed more than we could chew. That canister's too hot for us. Getting caught with it's an immediate death sentence. We leave it here and look for a fence. If we find one we can lie low for a bit, maybe even consider changing careers."

The massive rumble of an arriving spaceship made them look skywards. The familiar arrowhead shape of a police cruiser was overhead with deployed lasers.

Burns Notice (Please forgive me)

The cold embrace of empty space, amidst the glowing stars.
The hopes and dreams and best laid schemes, thought up in far off bars.
The human race goes forth at pace, to gather and explore.
Some search the void for new found homes, on far flung distant shores
Some mine the ores and precious gems, that is mankind’s desire.
Still others take to cart and freight, through the maze of cosmic fire
All these are prey to darker souls who cheat and kill with no respite
The only thing that gives them pause; the Space Police; the deadly Viper’s Bite

Blood Trail

The Krait jinked behind a sizeable rock in the asteroid field. Close enough for its engines to scatter micro-debris into the pursuant’s path.

The Viper’s shields flared.

Several more times the Krait ‘dusted’ the area, forcing the Viper to evade, increasing their distance.

The Viper cut left but the Krait countered, skimming shadows of another rock.
The courier pilot flinched as impacts pinged off his hull, “Too close,” he breathed.

A second Viper emerged from a dark shadow, needle-gun mounts retracting. Its colleague slowed to a stop alongside.

Two neat puncture wounds vented oxygen, leaving a crystalline wake to follow.
