“[b]I mean, who the hell is Carl Sagan anyways?[/b]” Drake exclaimed to nobody in particular as his new bootlegged ship made its rickety approach to the luxury vessel. Strapped uncomfortably to the pilot’s chair, Drake looked supremely unhappy with his current predicament. “[b]Cool name for a crappy ship.[/b]” After hearing Alpha’s signal, he quit his moping momentarily, and replied to her over the comms. [quote]Alpha, this is Drake. I’m giving you the go ahead to launch. Just make sure that you [i]only disable[/i] the thrusters temporarily, otherwise we’ll be stuck with this sack of shit, over.[/quote] He closed the channel, and warmed up whatever hardoints the ship had in preparation for docking. He’d stay on until the “tether” was securely fastened to the other ship before he went over himself.
