Phasing was always a strange experience, regardless of how familiar you were with it. Having your very essence stretched between dimensions is nauseating, to say the least. When Eric and Pants arrive on the ship with the droid carcass, Eric nearly vomits. He had been so eager, so prepared to join, that he realize he hadn't phased since... Since... [b]Unnamed Planet: One Year Ago[/b] "Well... At least we made it here alive... Wherever the hell we are right now." Ginger strolls across the rocky outlook, eclipsing the bright orange sun as he did so. He looked every bit the warrior he was; regal, yet sleek in his Gungnir-Class armor. He turns around to see Eric staring down at his feet behind him. "Err... Are you ok Eric? You do-" Eric doesn't hesitate to attack, quickly blasting Ginger with his Antimatter Rifle. On most targets, the round would completely obliterate its foe, but the round only staggered Ginger, whose shields were flaring. Ginger, who was unarmed, quickly slid under a shot, and then boosted towards Eric, directing all of his force into the point of his shoulder. The gun in Eric's hand is knocked away as he raises it to protect himself, and he draws his particle blade. Artemis could augment his reaction time and his speed, but he knew that he wouldn't last long against a foe of this caliber. He swings twice: a slash towards the knees, and a thrust towards the face. Ginger grabbed the fallen rifle, intercepts the stab with it, and then punches Eric in the shoulder with all his strength. Every tendon and bone in his shoulder shatters with a sickening crunch, and he realizes with a jolt that he can't feel anything in his right arm. As his body shuts down from the pain, Ginger picks up the sword, and raises it towards Eric's neck... But drops the sword, and walks away as Eric falls unconscious. When he eventually woke up, he had to phase aboard a nearby freighter, sneak along with its cargo, and hid in the nearest system. There, he got his artificial arm, and began searching for a career... Which eventually brought him here. [b]The [i]Alamo[/i]: Present Day[/b] Eric wakes up, realizing that he had fallen unconscious. He had been placed in the medbay, with a 30mm round in his thigh, and apparent trauma. What they didn't realize is that the repercussions of his betrayal haunted him to this day...
