The Weight - Part 2
Telemachus and Dylan are negociating with some traders over getting a land mobile when the discussions turn mildly ugly. After the fracas, someone steals a radio receiver from Dylan forcing him to chase after the person. When he corners the man, he gets back the receiver and discovers its working. The signal being received is coming from Beka but is a month old. The signal is coming from Seefra-9, another planet. The traders turn up and offer a craft for them.
One month ago, Beka is interrogated then released where she makes a message as a last will and testament. She's woken up from her state onboard the Maru to be notified that the Ascendant is in front of her ship. She makes it onboard the craft and tries to turn the ship on but fails. It seems the Ascendant is under the control of some other people.
Present day, Dylan and Telemachus conclude trade negociations but knocking out the two traders and taking off in their craft. Whilst still trying to get to grips with the craft, they encounter what seems to be star cops but decide to run rather than surrender. They run into a asteroid field and loose their followers.
Beka is interrogated by one of the hijackers, her top is removed and thrown away. The top combusts into flames but she sticks to the line that she will only talk to the boss who turns up.
Telemachus and Dylan spot the Ascendant out in front of them which they believe it could be a mirage.
Beka is entertained by the leader of the hijackers. He proposes a deal with Beka who accepts.
As Dylan and Telemachus approach the Ascendant, they discover its been painted but they still board. Contact with the ships computer fails. As they make their way through the ship, they are attacked by a couple of the hijackers. They arrive on the bridge to find it empty. They carry out a number of checks but still get no response from the ship's computer. Dylan stays briefly at the bridge whilst Telemachus walks off to find the rest of the crew. As he explores his ship, he hears Beka's voice and hides to listen in on their talking. He rendezvous with Telemachus and tells him what they've found. They disagree on what to do next, Telemachus leaves Dylan to be ambushed. On his way out, Telemachus reaches the docking bay to see it being watched over closely by the hijackers.
One of the senior hijackers reports back to the leader about what has been happening. Dylan who had been knocked out is bought before the keader who orders him to be tied up.
Beka and the Leader take their friendship to a new level. The Leader tells Beka that Dylan would be killed but Beka tries to convince him otherwise but it doesn't seem to be working.
Telemachus is still on the ship trying to work out what to do. Dylan is being bought along the corridor so Telemachus hides. As Dylan walks past with his guards, Telemachus hides but does not intervene.
Beka works frantically trying to contact the ships computer and finally succeeds but has to cancel the contact when the female leader comes to collect her.
Dylan is bought before the Leader and Beka arrives on the ships bridge. On the ships bridge is a capsule that had been bought from a planets surface. Inside the capsule is a bridge light. The Leader forces Beka to choose what next to do. She presses a lever that releases a bright ball of light from the capsule. Dylan recognises the ball of light as being Trance and tells her to back into the capsule. The Leader (Jonah) tells the hihjackers to leave and Beka leaves with them but returns to rescue Dylan. Dylan asks Trance for her help to power the ship. The ship powers up enough to fire a missle to counter the missle being fired at them. Trance turns into human form but has amnesia. |
