PNPC Ensign Poagie - PURRmission to Come Aboard DS33

[rob mahardy]

((The Purr-fecto (Cait model personal shuttlecraft)- Space near DS33))

The tractorbeam from the Ronin flung the small ship hurling away just before the beams from the surrounding ships converged.

Everything went dark and the Manx hologram flickered out. Poagie’s eyes took a moment to adjust, first noticing that the kit he’d been holding pawed curiously toward where the hologram of its mother used to be.

Kit: Rowr

Poagie flopped the kit into the pilot’s seat as it became more fidgety and the needlelike pokes became more frequent.

Poagie: I know, I know, but you don’t need to shred me apart.

Big, slightly luminescent eyes looked up at him and a soft head nudged his hand.

Out the viewport was chaos so Poagie tried to ignore it for now and focus on what he could control. He skooched the kit out of the pilot’s chair and began going through to see if he could activate any systems. The panel was dark and completely unresponsive so he moved to where he thought the control junction panel might be in the back of the cabin. When he only found a flat wall, he realized that he had no idea how anything on this shuttle worked.

He sighed and was about to slide into either a slight rant or wallow in self-pity, when the front panel lit up again and  illuminated the kit standing on it.

Poagie: Hmm, not bad. I don’t suppose you…

The ship suddenly lurched forward sending Poagie to the deck and the kit airborne to land on top of him.

He rolled over, displacing the kit and grabbing the chair to pull himself up. Looking up, DS33 took up most of the viewscreen and kept getting larger.

Poagie’s eyes widened and he made a desperate lunge to the controls. Everything seemed to slow down. His hands stretched. The kit leaped. The station grew and grew. They were headed directly into some other ship that seemed to be sticking out of DS33’s hull. Poagie desperately tried to turn, to bank, to slow, to reverse but nothing was in time to change the outcome.

Everything went dark as The Purr-fecto plowed directly into the rear of one of the smaller boarding crafts, shoving it all the way into the station  replacing its position albeit with a slightly larger hole.
