They ran out of time. He could only hope that Flexo managed to grab the goods. Kai bolted back into the transport ship, waiting for the orcolan to appear. He wasn’t coming.
“FLEXO GET OVER HERE NOW!” He screeched into their shared comms. By the time Flexo arrived, Kai realized that, horrifically, the orcolan had to ditch the goods. Kai didn’t even get a chance to scream at him. In his rage, all he managed to do was take off his his lettuce mask and slap the orcolan with it. A proper, wilted lettuce bitchslap.
The Fiani was spurred on by adrenaline and the desire to survive as he practically flew into the shuttle’s pilot chair. He had a sudden moment of clarity and navigated that thing like a pro right past the PDF arriving on the scene. He managed to dock back onto their ship and scrambled inside.
“You better sell all the fucking Emryc Energy drinks, Flexo!” He shouted angrily as he powered up the engines, “We’re fucked in debt from buying all the ship upgrades! This loot was supposed to pay for it! STOP DOING PUSHUPS IN THE MIDDLE OF RAIDS!” Kai put the engines on overdrive as he started booking it, their ‘stalled ship’ suddenly coming to life. PDF began to realize what was happening and started shooting at them.
Somehow, Kai haphazardly managed to avoid getting blown up, taking only a grazing burn on the side of the ship. He managed to make it far out enough to jump into hyperspace to make their escape.
They had survived their first raid, but they came out of it empty handed.
Escape: 16/20
