Thread: The Dead of Space (Komically x Darksppd)

Danix bolted back to the storage facility their starship was kept in and boarded it, going through the motions of actually getting in. Once that was done, he let out a big breath of air and simply dropped all his winter gear onto the floor. Oh yeah, much better. Thank you, artificial atmosphere. Now that his winter clothing was removed, all that was left was a pair of black leggings and a fitted T-shirt with the logo of a burger joint. He caught a glimpse of himself in a reflective metal panel and admired his physique for a moment, specifically his cushy butt and womanly, thick thighs. You still got it, Danix. He assured himself. He grabbed the bandoliers out of his gear and strapped them on him, two belts lazily across his hip with a small, magnetic pistol for each and a few magazines, and one chest holster for his prized piece. After, he went back to the reflective panel and started to fix his hair, which had been mussed by the headgear he had on. His long, raven black locks were pulled into a quick ponytail, and the pink streak he had through his bangs were brushed to the right. In another life, Danix could've likely been a model of some sort, perhaps for gender neutral or even women's clothing. He had a cute, girly face with a fair complexion and light smattering of freckles, emerald green eyes, pillowy lips, and the longest lashes you'd ever see on a boy. Pair that with a metabolismhormone balance that favored putting fat on his thighs, hips, chest, and rear end over anywhere else, and you had a man who could pass for a woman anytime he wanted. Except for the bulge that was normally occupying his crotch, of course. His appearance never left him wanting for sexual encounters, as he could easily find whatever satisfaction suited his whims. He left the reflection and went into the cockpit to turn the ship on. With a quick thought, he decided to start charging the warp engine so they could have it ready in case the mercenaries pursue into orbit. The ship hummed to life, and the flight Virtual Intelligence appeared on the dashboard with a tacky hologram of an old Sci Fi movie villain. Danix was in the process of putting in the coordinates for their warp-jump when Sabine boarded. Anywhere is better than here. Danix replied and pulled the ship out of the storage facility. A few rounds were fired off at the ship, but its reflective shielding caused the hunks of metal to bounce off. The ship itself wasn't too big. A simple V-Wing shape with a sizable cockpit and cabin space for a crew of five, with an added armory room and a decompression chamber attached to the airlock. The living space was communal living, so no captain's quarter, but at least every crewmate would theoretically get their own bed. The whole interior of the ship was about as large as a typical studio apartment, and it had about as many amenities, like a kitchenette and a small bathroom, all either part of the living area, or as a small offshoot. Finally, there was a small maintenance room below the deck that ran the length of the ship as a restrictively tight hallway that fed into the main engine room, which was more of an engine closet. The living space was arranged like a large living room with a couch and love seat in the middle facing a holovision stand and a glass coffee table between them. On one wall were the bunks, each set into the wall with a storage locker below them. On the other wall was the kitchenette with an electric stove and a CryoTron refrigerator, as well as the door into the cramped bathroom. The living space was a bit messy, with takeout boxes, dirty clothing, and various scraps of paper strewn about, with some additional loose weaponry, ammunition, and other dangerous objects. It was a lightly armed ship, as most commercial starships were only sold with weapons mounts and black market starship weaponry was quite expensive, and commercial weapons were fairly weak and more meant to scare off pirates in commonly traveled space. The ship was equipped with a warp-powered artificial gravity drive and a fully updated Virtual Intelligence which operated auto-pilot, provided the most up-to-date stellar map, allowed vocal commands for things like temperature control, lighting, the holovision channel, surfing the ExtraNet, and other tasks. The Virtual Intelligence was also programmed to be able to appear with a hologram that looked and sounded like Darth Vader from the relic of media, Star Wars. Danix always was a fan of the classics. Since Danix and Sabine were the only occupants of the ship as of the current moment, only their beds showed signs of life, with Danix's own bed being littered with various weapon parts since he used it as a gunsmithing bench when he wasn't sleeping there. Danix quickly took them into the atmosphere and engaged the exit burners, blasting them quickly out of Locker's atmosphere. They were tailed by a single ground-to-air fighter that peeled off when it saw them leaving the planet. Once they were in the cold of space, Danix eased off the throttle and let them coast out towards the only gas giant in that system while the warp engine finished charging up. He then let the VI take over flight and slid down the ladder from the cockpit to the living space, where Sabine would've most likely been. Another mission successful. He said as he dropped the severed finger on their cluttered coffee table. Vader, remind me to put that in a baggie in thirty minutes, would you dear? He said to the VI. The VI made a 'bloop' sound and then sounded off an acknowledgement. The boy then flopped on the couch and smiled at Sabine. Nice shot by the way.
