((Shuttlecraft Olmec, Slalom course))
The slalom course was quite a ride, even for a skilled pilot. The small shuttle was highly maneuverable and Vomek wondered what it would be like to fly the Foxy Landy through something like this. The Talaxian freighter was much larger and harder to control.
Vomek was not necessarily worried about not making it through, but the Ferengi woman he was pulling behind him. Here demands for tighter turns and increased speed would have normally pleased him, but he was worried about her safety.
Vomek gritted his teeth, but pushed the shuttle to full impulse. Several artificial rings came toward them rapidly and Vomek strained at the controls to push the shuttle through them without getting Gooba Jean too near them.
Vomek: How do her arms not come off?
Really the greater question was how the small covering she wore managed to stay in place.
Gooba Jean: =/\=You can swing me out farther. Tighten up the turns. =/\=
Poagie: Really, it’s okay not to. We’re not even to…
The Olmec rolled out of the loops and pitched down toward a long lunar canyon.
Poagie: Nevermind
Vomek: I should have made her sign a waiver.
Poagie: It wouldn’t matter, Ferengi courts wouldn’t accept it anyway. I’d get her inheritance and rights to sue you for all you got regardless.
oO Sue me!?! Oo
Vomek thought of how little he had and wondered if they would go after his mother who had finally managed to get herself a small cottage on South Rolandsay. Vomek was tempted to slow the shuttle, but then wondered if he would get sued for that too.
Gooba Jean: =/\= That’s enough of that Po-Po, ain’t nothin’ gonna happen to…=/\=
Vomek wondered why she had stopped mid-sentence and glanced into the rear camera to check. A cloud of light enveloped Gooba Jean and suddenly she was gone.
Poagie: Hey, Wha…Who?... Where did that come from?
Vomek: Did you transport her back here
Alarms blared through the cabin. The blur of a ship sped ahead of them down the canyon. All Vomek could really see was a roughly triangular shape and a sour green colored hull. Poagie started to frantically tap at controls.
Poagie: They can’t do that! That’s my sister!
Vomek had already opened the throttle on the shuttle up as much as he could but he pushed the impulse reactors as high as they could go anyway.
Vomek: That's one fast ship.
The vessel began to shimmer and disappear as if a cloak was activating very slowly. Apparently it wasn't a very good cloaking device.
Poagie: Do something!
Vomek: ::annoyed:: Calm down. Do you really want her back that badly?
Poagie: Response
Vomek aimed the shuttle toward where the ship had been and accelerated as best he could. He hoped that the cloaking device would take enough power to slow down the vessel so that could catch up. As a Romulan Vomek knew a thing or two about cloaking devices.
Vomek: Send out a low power phaser spread at this frequency.
He sent the number to Poagie.
Poagie: Response
As the continued to fly the red light of the phaser burst glowed before them and as Vomek had hoped there was an area that scattered the beam. Once again it was roughly triangular in shape, but the computer had more luck with the details.
Vomek: Nausicaans. Why would Nausicaans abduct your sister? Do she piss them off? Did you piss them off?
Poagie: Response
Vomek: I suggest you hit them with full phaser power before they go to warp.
Poage: Response
