It was pitchblack. Norman stayed was at the ship's cockpit. Suddenly he felt everything going from, meters went to dangerous levels and it was literally getting burning hot. He tried to touch the steering wheel but only burned his hands. Cursing, he pulled back and tried call his sister but nothing happened. Heat was rising even more and suddenly, to his horror, the whole place set in flames. Screaming .. he woke up.
He was lying in his bed, coalcat lied happily at his feet, burning his feet.
"Shoo, go away Tiikeli.. darned thing, burn my feet like that.." He rised from bed, commanded coalcat to prepaire coffee and called for Shireya.
Norman and Shireya were siblings who had inherited a rusty, old starship. Their company was called "SpaceXXX". They lived by delivering various cargos at the starsystem. Pay wasn't really good and the Tradefederation took their share - which was quite a lot.
Currently they were delivering a expencive, ultra ++ quality coal to Tradefederation.
Norman called Hans, who gave his report about piloting. Nothing had really happened, things were allright.
As they closed to steam catapult that was supposed to push them to right track there was an annoucement about the particular catapult being broken and under maintenance. There was hell of an traffic jam and cursing his bad luck, Norman called Shireya to enter the cockpit.
His sister was unbelievably beautifull, 16 year old female. Her looks gather a lot of attention - well, her hair is shining purple, and everything she wears is purple. In her back you can notice a huge blade that is bigger than the slender young lady.
Norman hisself was quite handsome fellow but didn't stand up in any crowd. He has an aura of auctority.
"Damn it, sister. It looks like we are stuck in the traffic jam, the catapult is under maintenance and it might take forever to repair it. Will you please navigate a new way or what do you recommend?" Shireya sighed and took out starmap, made some calculations and tapped her nails to the table. "I think we should pay a visit to the planet." Norman nodded and steered the ship to the space station. He made an announcement towards the central radio system.
As they got to the station, their rugged old ship got instructed to the farthest and cheapest area of docks. As they stepped out, a old man approached them. "Well, well. What is yer biznes in 'ere? R you stayin' or what?" He asked, pulling out a notepad, some documents and started to fill them. As Normal told their purpose, he started to calculate. "Righteyo, it would do..Hmm.." he calculated, calculated and added.. "would do 4000 taalers. Sign here, thanks." Shireya muttered something about robbery. The price was ridiculous, to think that they had received 10 000 taalers payment before delivering the cargo, that would eat almost half of their money this far. Muttering, he paid the amount.
As they headed off, Norman decided to taste a local delicasy. It tasted horrendous and he puked it up few times. Finally, tears in his eyes he managed to nibble down the bread. Meanwhile Shireya was at the local pub, asking a way to get rid of the flatflies. They had an infestation of flatflies at their starsship. They had no idea how the creatures had gotten inside SpaceXXX, but if they wouldn't get rid of them, they would consume their ship.
"Yarr, girley. What a pretty lass you are, very pretty indeed.." said an old drunkard. Shireya grinned a bit. "Would you happen to know how to get rid of the flatflies?" Drunkard nodded and said "Oh yes, missy. You could buy an flatflybear that eats them. But with that yer have a problem to get rid of the flatflybears then, they mate at fast rate, oh yes. Then you could also burn down your ship, or have it completely cleansed." Shireya looked disgusted as she declared "No way! I'd rather kill them down one by one myself then." Drunkard laughed and winked his eye to the pretty young miss "Well, for yer beauty I could come and smash and smash and kill them.." "Eh, well. No thanks.."

As they got back to the ship, Shireya burned all the flours she found from the ship. With that, they faced a new problem - buring flatflies were going all around the room. Shireya called crew to help with extinguishin the flames. As they had done this, they hoped to get rid of the flatflies. Closing to the steam catapult, Norman could only wish for the best. Sometimes, with bad luck the catapult could actually destroy old ship like theirs. Metallic sound was heard from the central radio "Crew, take place. Catapult ahead. Take place. Repeat, take place."
A loud bang was heard as the catapult grapped their ship, some part was clearly damaged already. Things didn't go so smoothly, Jürgen's seat had gotten off and now there was only bloodly pulp where Jürgen had sat. Crew were in panic, so they had to be ordered to clean away to earthly remains of poor bloke. As they had done that, Shireya went through his belonings, finding some interesting documents and strange nails that she took to herself, making sure no one saw what she did.
--
As Norman was outside, fixing the damages catapult had done, Shireya stayed at the cockpit. Something strange was getting close them. They got close very soon and she called Norman back inside. He didn't have time to finish fixing the ship so he was quite annoyed.
Then something hit the ship, tiny pieces of metal came towards their ship. A frozen, dead body hit the front window and then slid off. "What the hell is going on?" Next thing they noticed was a cockpit of the starship floating at the space. Shireya decided to wear the spacesuit and go to inspect the damage done.
--
She got to the cockpit and tried to look for the logbook but didn't find it. Then she noticed pulsating green light that seemed to mess up her gear. Meanwhile Norman noticed that the ship's controls shut down completely. He ran to manually start up the system again.
Shireya noticed their ship had gone black and tried to communicate through radio - but it was dead.
At the ship Norman decided to pilot their ship closer to her sister but was so distracted by the happenings that he managed to hit their ship towards the pieces of destroyed ship. Their ship seemed to take massive damaged and crew was busy trying to fix things. Finally, Shireya got back to ship. As Norman had damaged the ship, he also had caused death for few more crewmembers. Now thed only two man left so most of the things had to be done by themselves. Norman hisself was also in very low condition, he had took quite bad injuries. As they got further from the damaged area he enterd the sickbay and Shireya got the steering of ship.
--
As they got close to Tradefederation, they were taken straight to emergency area. Their cargo was taken out and an federation office gestured them to follow him to meet the local boss.
This place was extremely fancy, all was shinging and polished. They met with the boss, and he asked lot of guestions and then they were escorted to a "room" that turned out to be a jail. Or felt that way with guards at the door and no way to get out.
Next morning they were called back to the local boss. "We are sorry for this, just had to make sure you had nothing to do with the damaged done to another ship. But as we found out, your ship couldn't do such a damage. You are free to go now, remember to go the bureau to fill out these forms and applications." As they were escorted to the bureau, they had approximately 100 people ahead of them. Shireya stayed there to wait for their turn as Norman got out to find a next task to be delivered. As he walked towards the traders quarters, Shireya tried to sneak a small number from a sleeping old man. For her bad luck, things didn't go very smoothly and the old man got agitated and started to yell and call her a thief. Shireya blamed another person who got angry and soon there was a fight going on. Next thing she knew, the room was empty and she tasted blood in her mouth. As there was no one around, she went to the officer and filled out papers. As she didn't have enough cash with her, she didn't get the form to get their ship back.
Norman had found a new task - deliver two person to a distant planet. No questions asked. Payment was good though - so he accepted it. He met the man at the pub and agreed on terms and conditions. As done that he got back to the station and met his sister. They exchanged information, their nemesis, Oliver Stone had gotten their cargo and the reward.
Suddenly the green light was there again and space station started to fell apart. Shireya ran back to their ship, watching the station to be cut down like a piece of paper. She sent the information about taking away right now for their the two persons they were going to deliver next. Norman was on his way to the office, as there was no one around, he took the releasing forms and stamped them and then ran back to the ship. He barely made it as window broke down and he was nearly shot to the space.
--
Their ship was fixed but unfortunately it took at least two hours to heat up the steam system of the ship. Their crew was already heating up the system in panic as the station was literally falling apart. Shireya took control inside and as Norman got back in, he fould a piece of the super ultra coal. It almost blew up their ship but luckily the ship lasted.
Finally they released their ship from the dock, that was also cut of from the station they were going towards the planet's atmosphere. Ship's motors didn't work yet, so if they couldn't get the systems running soon, they would all burn to death.
Luckily the motors started and they got to their way. "Mayday, mayday" was heard at the radio. Some ship that was full of people was in trouble, they were soon getting to the atmosphere and going to burn alive. Norman piloted the ship close to the one in trobles and Shireya got to the space suit and tried to attach the cable to another space ship. It didn't work easily but at the last moment she managed to attach it and got back to ship barely in time. As crew were helping her away from the suit, she had gotten serious burns. They managed to help the other ship to safety and then started their journey towards the planet where their new "cargo" was heading and where Shireya faced court for selling cat's shit as coffee. That was sold to them under the table by their nemesis Oliver Stone. Shireya spent hours forgering the documents that showed Oliver Stone was actually behind this all.
What next, who knows.
