Captains and Chaos

After Zac had finished calibrating the Star-Wolf's engines and thrusters and all the other things that go on inside a teenager A.I's logic board pun definetly intended we started to fly , Man what a feeling , any thing was possible , this game was simply amazing . I never knew Snowdin inc. had this kind of technology , but they were simply unreal, what was more was i could pick up any item in the game and if I wanted to do i could , so for example if i wanted to pick up a wrench and be a ship engineer like Ratchet i could, tho i probably wouldnt . In the middle of my daydreaming I recieved an alert from Zac , Boss im picking up a distress beacon , comming from the questarian sector nearby , should we check it out ? Sure i said full steam ahead . Rodger he said . After 3 minutes i noticed a small speck of debris floating in space , and a small fighter drifting off into space . Zac open a channel , and relay this message , This is the Captain of the Star-Wolf are you in need of help ? A replay came back after 10 seconds of dead air , Rodger this is Fighter 22 my name is William turner , but most people just call me bootstrap bill or just bootstrap. Ok bootstrap , how can we help you i asked ? Would it be ok if I stowed my fighter inside your ship till we reach my destination ? in exchange i can give you some usefull info that only a person like me could get his hands on ?. I then recieved a quest , helping a Pirate in need , Boot strap Bill has asked you if you will tow him and his ship to safety , in exchange he will share some valuable information with you that only he could get his sneaky hands on will you accept yes/no ? I thought yes, and Zac's voice sounded through the ship I am pulling his fighter into our cargo bay boss , the fighter has docked successfully ,mission complete.

I got a new level , and what was more Star-Wolf had gained a level as well , i was now level 6 and Star-Wolf was now level 1. I was grinning like an idiot, when Bill's voice blasted from behind me , so are you going to take me to my planet or what ? he asked . Sure i said , relay to my ship's AI its coordinates and take a seat . after he informed Zac of a few tricky manuvers he might have to perform in order not to be obliterated by the gravity emitted by a trinary system we were off ! . Once we got within comunications range of the planet Bill told Zac to patch him into relay number 4-2-117 , this is Rapscalion come in turd lover , i know you can hear me you old koot !. Ive told you a thousand times not to call me turd lover you useless sac of a lost testicle ! .If i dont how will you know its me johnny ! . I thought you were killed bill, thought old cap'n barboza sent you to see davy jones .Nah boy-o I , got ship wrecked when my fighter crashed into a wandering asteroid and this guy found me and is towing me in . What the hell are you doing back here of all places? Didnt the last captain put a kings ransom on your head for bedding his daughter ? Aye he did but this time around ive got info on the leonians, there transporting something of value worth an entire system to the right buyer ! . Really, are you for real ?your not just be saying that so i dont blast ye to dust ! he asked , on my honor as a hairy assed pirate ! came the reply. Well then matey take corridor 2-2-1-8 and be quick about it , i cant cover you for long, so get that ship of yours moving then ! When we finally docked , they had custom's inspectors check every inch of my ship and when i asked bill about it all he did was shrug slightly . when I pushed for more information he informed me that all it would take to capture this planet would be between 5 to 10 cruisers of imperial soldiers and then they would loose there only true planet for black market trades for good . Understandable , i finally agreed and let them continue there search. After 2 hours of looking through every thing including my underwear drawer, they finally left . I found Bill and he had me follow him through the city untill he found the shifty person he was looking for . We entered a small hut and when we sat down the table illuminated , the door shut automatically , and many holographic people were visible in vacant seats. Bill Spoke to the room at large , Now every listen up , I recieved some information that is quite dependable, and it seems our lion neighbors in the venox system have perfected a prototype for what they are calling a deuterium injector . Now what this device does is just like it sounds , it injects deuterium into a compatible ship allowing it to bypass weapon cool down and automatically fire instantanously and non stop untill the deuterium is depleted . I need a bunch of you scallywag's for a distraction , while the rest of us do a smash and grab on this device. This is where my new friend Fenrir comes into play! His Ship has the ability to fire massive rockets at extreme distances! We move out in 3 hours with as many of us as we can find ! . Aye ! came the unanimus cry from the table of holographic projections. We made it back to my ship where Zac had informed me that we had 12 failed hi-jack attempts and 3 failed data attacks . He seemed rather pleased with himself over this , i asked what happened to the people who failed to hi-jack the Star-Wolf ? They were sent to respawn , he stated with a knowing smirk ! also there items were low quality, however but i still had some maintenence droids carry the most expensive of them to the cargo hold .Also The pirates have fully stocked us on Rockets. We are good to go when ever Captain. Rodger I said , I motioned for our newest friend to lead on . We left the planets surface with 120 ships armed to the teeth . When we reached the leonian's part of space one of our ships in the fleet , a massive destroyer type sent up a massive distortion field , essentialy making our fleet invisible not only to the naked eye but also to certain types of scanners .We slowly flew our ships untill we got Bill's message to stand by . I personally hated waiting , it was extremly nerve wracking , I wanted to blow something up just to take the edge off . It wasnt long before we saw a fleet of what seemed like thousands of ships of all kinds , protecting a massive transport ship. There had to be 2000 frigates easy , along with 250 cruisers of various makes and models, a carak or 2 , hundreds of fighters flying near there cruisers for protection. And 1 Massive Behemoth that looked like a frigate , a cruiser and a prehistoric mining vessel had gotten together , had an orgy and gave birth to this monstrosity ! . Whats the play on this , i asked ? Bill looked shocked by the force he and the rest of us were seeing . Not sure about you guys but if we do this correctly we might just get out of here with that device and keep our lives as well ! should I just blast them from here while you guys come from behind and flank there whole group , so they get caught with there pants down so to speak ? Bill just looked at me his mouth open , bloody hell I didnt know you were some kind of General mate ! He clapped me on the back , thats an excellent idea. Lets try it , sounds better than us just going in guns blazing . I got into position hiding behind a medium sized moon. When Bootstraps fleet of pirates messaged me they were in position. I asked Zac how many rockets we had on hand , he said we currently can hold a maximum of 10,000 rockets however we will need to restock or produce them ourselves from a built in production facility . I made a mental note to my self to look into that further, in the mean time i had Zac prime the rocket system and let me know when it was fully ready.

He said i could fire when ready , when I gave him the word FIRE! it was the best feeling in the world, no longer was i feeling nervous , i felt like an enormus weight had finally been lifted from my shoulders. I could now do what i was good at , attack others in a game using giurilla tactics .The Very Moment I uttered the words 10,000 photonic rockets sped away from my ship like they were sharks on the hunt for food, They impacted ships shields doing a small amount of damage , however when there emp charges blew the enemy ships were at a huge disadvantage . The reason I had agreed to using the photonic Rockets were precisely for there Emp charges which any gamer with an ounce of brains knew would at the very least disrupt shield's or in some cases knock them out completly . Hundreds of ships were now shield less . Do it Now ! I Barked through our comm channel. The pirates ships threw off there invisibility and lept into battle. Enemy Frigates were exploding like water balloons at a summer festival . I had Zac move us as close to the fighting as we could get without actually needing to take any damage . When we got within less than a mile i got a new prompt , Would you like to loot or loot all . Notice Looting all will result in a 50% loss to all items obtained in this manner ! . I thought about it and I didnt want to be any where near the fighting and chose Loot all . The moment I did Zac informed me we had another 10,000 rockets available and our holds were completly full of Deuterium . Lets do this once more guys, incomming ! I fired another volley of 10,000 rockets and something amazing happened , my volley of rockets had knocked 10 of the cruisers shields completly offline untill they could get there defenses back in place they were sitting ducks . I managed to get the Star-Wolf to another location and got another prompt . I once again chose to take all ! and was back at 10k in rockets. this time I had zac target just the cruisers that were still operational.

I told Bill to go nuts on the frigates they were out of this fight currently and he could loot them as much as his pirate heart wanted ! I turned back to the cruisers and launched a 3rd volley straight at them .

Stagger those rockets, I barked to zac. Rodger came the reply. Between my ships rockets and the enemy vessels exploding at random Intervals it became rather hard to focus on any one ship for too long. The Star-Wolf stayed as far from the main battle as possible, however it had become necessary to get closer once there Behemoth entered the fight. Any ideas guys I said over the comm channel. I could try our beam cannons , no telling what will happen tho ,should I boss , zac asked? Do it I bellowed . The beam cannons came down forming what looked like an old western gatling gun , however when Zac tried to fire them i recieved a new prompt , congratulations you have discovered a relict class skill , would you like to use new Skill Dark Matter Cannon? yes/no . ? Yes I screamed as a beam of concentrated night shot forward and slammed into the Behemoth 's hull bypassing its shields entirely. I looked at the Behemoth , I was dumbfounded looking at its shields partially flickering in and out . I asked Zac to clarify why that was happening , but he was at a loss for words for once in his holographic life . Also we used up all our deuterium we had on hand to power that unique attack. I ground my teeth together , this mission had turned out to be a costly thing indeed. I just hoped we were able to grab this so called amazing device before we were all sent packing back to respawn. Or rather i would be respawning these npc's probably wouldnt be . Zac i asked , if this ship is destroyed will it respawn ? He smiled and relpied yes the ship Star-Wolf would respawn but not with any thing on it or in it. It would just be a working ship and I would have to fix it back up and invest more money into its upkeep. My eyes bulged , I knew this game was going to be a huge waste of money , but DAMN! At least we got to keep our ships i said . That is unless someone hacks into it and re-registers it in there name Zac said with a sly grin. I stared at him , Are you serious i said , I could also loose the Star-Wolf . Oy Fenrir Bill said over the comm's, The Behemoths shields are about to fall are you ready matey. Almost i replied , Zac move us as close as we can get with out being in its aggro range. We got alot closer than i would have liked to be and also got another loot all message . Now we have the damage i said , fire every thing at the behemoth . The Ship flickered for a moment before 10,000 micro emp's errupted across its shields. The Ships shields were now officially down , and the pirates were going nuts over its hull with there ships firepower. Hey Fenrir We dont seem to be doing enough damage . Im on it i said , as the Star-Wolf flew into a massive debris cloud. I looted everthing in the blink of an eye and sent another 1000 rockets hurtling toward the behemoth , they impacted against its hull and lit up the surrounding area with a collosal boom ! A moment later a Message flashed across my screen Congratulations your ship has recieved a new class Rocketeer , would you like your ship The Star-Wolf to become a Rocketeer . yes / no ?

I looked over all the pro's and cons , and there were far more pro's than cons, including damage can not drop below base value , and all projectiles damage will scale based on ships level + player level divided by 2 +1. It seemed I had found my ships class and hit yes , the moment i did i recieved another message , Congratulations you were the first player to do over 2 billion damage in less than 10 seconds you have gained the prime badge of Offense Damage . All Damage modifiers have been increased by 100% . I received another notification a few seconds after the last , you have recieved item "Deuterium Injector" rarity experimental class Legendary . Hey boss , Zac shouted at me . I turned around to face him , so you have this new device where should I add it to , you have 3 options, I can fuse it to the shields, to increase our survivability, to our Rocket system for alot more damage or to our thrusters . What would happen if we fused it to our weapons i asked ? then we could use what we have all 10,000 rockets then use our deuterium to instantly launch another 10 sets of 10,000 , so 100,000 instantly or staggered . My mouth dropped and I started to cackle while i rubbed my hands , lets fuse it to our rockets . Zac said it would take about 10 minutes to finish the fusion , and the moment he finished the process i got a message from Bill. Hey matey , Fenrir so did u get that device we talked about ? yes i said not thinking before i spoke , Good he said now we can take our cut by taking your ship or we will take 10 billion in credits for our services rendered. What i spluttered , you want me to pay you . Why i shouted ? because you naive fool, we didnt have a ship that was compatible with the deuterium injector , but you brought it right to us . So either you pay us 10 billion galactic Credits or 2 billion krypto's or we will take your ship, last chance boy. I have a counter proposal i said , Zac launch half of our total rockets at the idiot. He laughed as he caught on to my plan . 50 thousand incomming reasons not to mess with me any more i smiled at bill. Would you like some more reasons i asked him , Zac fire another 25,000 now ! so how am i doing with negotiations Bill are you through trying to mess with me ? Move us closer to a debris field i told Zac.When we got close enough i recieved another wonderful prompt , would u like to loot or loot all ? I thought loot all and immediatly we were full of rockets but this time also on deuterium . Here have another few reasons not to try to mess with me . Fire another 60,000 rockets Zac . Sure thing boss . ALRIGHT Enough i dont think we can survive another minute of this we give up . Keep your blasted ship mate ! Figured eventually you guys would see reason. when they left the solar system we had been in, i had Zac floor it back to the outpost we were originally at before . When we reached the perimeter of the orbital stations we were allowed re-entry and once we entered the hangar only then did I open my stat sheet to look over my new well earned stats. Congratulations you have leveled up, you have leveled up , you have gained 20 levels with out dying once for this you gain an achievement Walking before you can crawl . 10% increased ship movement speed , also slowing effects such as stuns' freezes or emp's are 1% less effective against you and your ship. Booya I shouted i had finally gained something relevant . My mind raced with all the possiblilities of what me and my ship could now do . I opened my ships tabs and found the Star-Wolf had also leveled up to level 10 . Congrats Zac i said on leveling up ! He performed a holographic bow and waved my praise away . So whats next boss he said? Im not sure let me look into leveling up the ship a bit , i opened the ships tabs one by one and looked at all the abilites i could invest in and found to my surprise i could invest into the deuterium injector its self so i put 5 of my ship's ability points into that, which lowered the amount of deuterium it would take to fire 10,000 rockets by 10% so instead of 100 tons of deuterium it now only took 90 tons. I hit the confirm tab and looked at my other options. I ended up taking 2 hours just looking over my complete options , and ended up with , shadow fire passive skill which created an additional 2 rockets from shadows for every rocket i fired, Long arm of the Law , passive skill increases my rockets fireing range by 50%, emp instability passive which added a 25% chance for any emp's to detonate a 2nd time , camaflage which added 25% less visibility to my ship when it was sitting still . And Cosmic detonation , which increased my ships thrusters by 15% . All in all A pretty good set up for a complete noob to the game !.
