Maybe I'll add you, maybe not.
The Vortex Crawler's aerodynamic, lethal shape catapulted past the Lessaria, a blue and black streak in the viewport. Kovu's attack was so swift and unexpected that the Venomstrike's jamming systems couldn't come into play in time. Twin ice-blue streaks, faster than even the Vortex Crawler, shot towards the bow of the Venomstrike. A ripple, a distortion, occurred, and then the torpedoes were through the shields and speeding to the Venomstrike's doom. The tip of the triangular ship flared brilliantly, too bright to watch, and a shuddering ripple flowed down the lusterless steel of the mothership, like the shiver of some prehistoric animal. Then, on the heels of the ripple, a change coursed down the length of the Venomstrike, transforming the featurlessly broad expanse of steel into a grey, hangar-studded vessel. Many of those hangars were open, gaping like dark mouths, and waves of fighters were heading towards the attacking Sarav. Crawler pulled away, looping around behind the enemy starships and attacking. Lessaria, covered by Kovu's attack, was aple to slip unnoticed in behind the starfighters.
Shinar finished at the console, and told Copper, "for the moment, we don't exist. We are a large piece of debris, got it? Try to simulate a chunk of garbage. Once you set down in the hangar, I'll take it off. I'm not doing any fighting, got that? I'm your only way off this thing if it blows, and I'm not being paid enough anyway. Shinyso," and he turned to adress the fighter, "here's a locator. You need a lift, get to a hangar and push the blue button. If it's urgent, press it twice. If there's no hope or you've already gotten off, hit the red one, and I'll meet you on Keenrei - if you survive. I'll know if you don't. Got all that?"
Shinyso nodded and took the locator. Copper shook her head slightly. Shonar thought of everything - that was his job, after all.
Copper rolled and spiralled, hoping nobody would think to do a visual check. They were closing with the Venomstrike, close enough that she could see the details of the hangars they passed. A peice of debris would do no damage to the hull if impact did occur. Of course, if Copper had her way, no collision would happen.
They flew dangerously close to the open hangars, and security lasers fired shots to vape them. However, they had shields and space junk did not, and so little was accomplished, except that Shonar's programming kicked in. The Lessaria vanished from all scanners for a few minutes - enough time for him to let them off in the hangar and then to take the controls, microjump to a safe distance away, and trigger the Lessaria's true identity. Then he set his ship into orbit around the smallest moon of the seventh planet in that system, awaiting their call in the desolate loneliness of space.
Gah, I wrote an hour worth of stuff, and then I forgot to save it ... *beats head against wall*
