Ebony held up a paw, "does it look like I've got opposable thumbs?"

Dante hopped in as Ukamundo started up the engines. The Gorgon began to fly away through the bay-shields. Banking sharply, it began heading in the opposite direction of the Dawatsu ship. Dante saw the Skyyron ship out the window. "Sir, shouldn't we go after Ebony?"
"Soon there won't be any Ebony left to save. If we're not out of here before that warp bomb goes out we're screwed" replyed Ukamundo.
Whether we wanted it or not, we\'ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let\'s get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta\'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He\'s well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

Omikron watched on the view screen as the squad of Adepts manouvered the warp bomb into place. Another Adept floated up behind Omikron. "We have almost completed the change to flight mode. We have plotted the coordiantes. Estimated 16 minutes required to get to minimum safe distance before detonation"
"Excellent. There will be no evidence of this debarkel. I will not have a ragtag group of mortals comprimising our whole operation!" He turned to the Adept.
"Start the countdown. Deter any escapees. Save the Cedymn, dispose of the rest"
The Adept seemed to nod, then floated away. On Omikron's scrren a massive timer showed up with 16.00.00 appearing, then 15.59.59, and counting down.
(I'm going to keep an update of that timer)

"Sir if we make it out of this I'll bake you a cake." Lilly said with a small smile.

(But the best cakes are made out of Ukamundo, and that would defeat the purpose of escaping!)
"See! she understands. And her heart's not been tempered by years of war. We're leaving the Skyyrons and Ebony to thier own chances. If they don't realise there's a bomb floating around, thier fault. Agreed?"
Keegan agreed. Dante hesitated. "Sir, i think you two are wrong. A true soldier never leaves a man behind"
"Ebony can time travel, she can hold her own. As for the Skyyrons, i never liked them. And since i'm the highest ranking officer on this ship if you don't like it i beleive you can go to hell. Because you're not going anywhere else."
"Screw you. Sir" hissed Dante.

Ukamundo sighed. "God's Damn you Dante." he said, swerving the ship back around. He had a plan. 'Dante, keegan, Lily, are your suits still intact?"
"Yes" said Dante. 'Mine is"
"good. i reckon we should try and defuse that bomb"
"This is what i get when i open my heart..." muttered Dante.
14.25.50...

"pass me your left hand. I'll run diagnostics" said Dante. Syra stirred, her colour starting to return to normal.

Valkyrie threw a dagger into the cage. "Don't tell anyone I gave you a weapon." he said with a smile.
Yronnen smiled. The Dawatsu were to busy hiding throughout their ship too pursue and if the small ship, likely with Ebony's friends, got to close, the Vek-aal could blow them to smithereens. He knew all of this simply from sitting and meditating in his diamond-shaped quarters, reserved specially for Skyyron Heroes such as himself. The walls, floor and roof were all black with a continuous intricate pattern of silver. It was actually Skyyr written down. He touched the pattern and immediately sensed something big in the area. The robots and the Furyshins must be doing clean up with some sort of super-weapon. No matter, we will de-materialize in a matter of minutes and would be light-years away by the time the weapon fired. For once, everything is going according to plan.
If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignominy-Fabius Bile

Ebony picked up the dagger and stabbed the can open. She then flung the contents of the can at Valkyrie. "Humph!"

dante skimmed his index finger over the tacPad on Lily's arm. he activated a holgram and continued to use it as a touch screen, closing one window and opening another, then started some form of scan, a percentage bar appeared on the Visor's HUD as well as on the pad itself. When the bar reached 100% dante flicked through the results.
"Right, you owe Syra, and the Allaince Military Command, a lot of repair money. Your shields have been permnamently damaged from the blast, i've had to deactivate the generator. Your vacuum seal is, fortunately, intact which means you can help us. However i wouldn't want to take too much damage to your back. The palting's stuffed but the body-suits still fine. Stay out of direct combat and you'll be fine. just remember, these suits cost 1.6 billion dollars each," he raised his voice so Ukamundo could hear, "Some people shouldn't be handing them out willy-nilly!"
"hey, it saved her life remember? Anyway, I'll bring this bucket in close to the bomb, then we people in suits will go try and disarm it. Understood?"
"yessir" said Keegan
"roger" said dante.
Ukamundo brought the ship close to the bomb. He 'parked' the Gorgon, then let him, Dante and Keegan out through the air-lock. they manouvered towards the bomb using exo-atmospheric jet packs. Ukamudno glanced at the timer before opening the casing.

Ukamundo motioned for dante to take a look. Dante was impressed by what he saw. so eleDant and simple, yet stopping the bomb would be the hardest thing to accomplish. dante ran his finger along one of the tubes, it was red. Another one was blue. "Oh" he said. 'TacPad says it's antimatter and matter. Fun, that thing's gonna go nuclear"
"Can you stop it? there must be some kind of mechanism rigged to combine them, if you can stop that..." suggested Ukamundo.
"I'm on it" he said, seeing a kind of switch/valve thingy. he examined it carefully, seeing that the thing would open if apparently the timer went off, unfortunately cutting the wire would automatically detonate it. A constant electric current apparently powered a magnet that kept the two substances seperate. "well, unless you can supply me with unlimited power... Well, we're screwed. Any suggestions anybody?"
Ukamundo shrugged, but it was hard to tell under his armour. Keegan shook his head. dante checked the timer;

"I would say to try reversing the power to that it flows back and overloads the source." Lilly said ,"But I'm sure that it's a stupid idea and it won't work."

"Keegan? kindly head-butt the bomb for me" said Dante smirking. "No actually don't it might release something bad"
"What if we move the bomb somewhere else?" suggested Syra over the comm, apparently recovered.
"elaborate" said Dante
"Well, it just so happens that we're sitting right next to a Furuschean wormhole. Let's see if Daemons like antimatter"
"You know, it's so fuba in there it would probly shoot out rainbows or somethin' "
"Thing is," said Ukamundo, "How do we open it?"
"Well, last time the shuttle activated it by being to close" said Dante
"What happened to that shuttle?" asked Keegan
"i'm assuming you recorded the flight plan?" asked Ukamundo.
"Yup" said Dante, sending a navPoint and trajectory beam to everyone's HUDs. 'We move the bomb along this line, relese it, then let it go through the portal."
"How do we move it without being to close to the wormhole?"
"I dunno. Some one lend their jet pack?"

Ukamundo removed his jetpack and attached it to the bomb, careful not to be pushed away lest he float off to die alone in space. As Dante grabbed his shoulder and guided him away, Ukamundo remote activated the jetpack from his TacPad, gently easing the throttle on and off. The bomb began to drift along the plotted trajectory line.
