The Hardest part about a plan to kill everyone is that everyone tends to not want to be killed. - Chronicles of Lorentino
"Stick close to me." Vtrasia had on body armor and her knife set again. Rolando got a good look at them this time and saw they were coated in something on top of being electrified, he had so many questions and no time to ask them. The Rondyne had geared for war. The ships they were on were disguised diplomatic ships, and the majority of the diplomatic group were all just soldiers ready. Rolando was impressed the Rondyne had decided to even keep up the deception instead of just immediately attacking.
"I've done this kind of thing before, I work better doing my own thing." Rolando was shackled, but it was just for show they weren't actually operable and Vtrasia had his weapons ready to be given to him.
"Fair enough, just we can't guarantee..."
"Yeah that anything will be the way it should be when the shooting starts, I'm aware thank you." They were approaching the agreed upon spot for the fleets to meet up when their ships were attacked. It was the corporate ships who fired and the opening fusillade would have been enough to destroy their ships had they simply been diplomatic ships as advertised. Rolando was not surprised this is what happened, but he was caught off guard and nearly got cut in half when a security door slammed into place trapping him and Vtrasia in their own blocked off section.
"Well you said you wanted me close."
"Yeah I didn't assume like this." They could feel the ship taking hits, but their own section didn't have any kind of monitors or any indication of how the fight was going.
"So I assume our battle plan is fucked."
"Completely, can you get us to the other side?"
"Could, don't want to, with the locked doors there is no indication there is air on the other side, no air, I shift into there we die." The ship took a hard right and Vtrasia and Rolando slammed into each other, then the gravity on the ship went out.
"Well this is will be awkward."
"At least we're..."
"Stop talking right there, I don't want you jinxing our current predicament already more than you have." Rolando didn't say anything, just drifted in space hoping the end wasn't right around the corner.
