open Among the Open Stars

[Apollo 297]

midnight smiled, and took her hand without thinking and lead her down to a fancier part of the dining district, he walked up to the entrance and saw his friend, "ahh, midnight, its been awhile hasn't it?"

midnight nodded, "yes it has Jake, were looking for breakfast for two?"

Jake looked over at miyst then smiled, "of course, this way." he led them to a table near one of the windows looking out over the rest of the space station.

"will this be suitable?"

midnight nodded, "yes, and thank you," he looked up and smiled, "we will be ready shortly"

 

"Nice place."

*Miyst said.*

"Dont know how Im gonna find out whats on the menu. Sometimes, it really sucks being blind."

[Prince Midnight 817]

Midnight blushed, "s-sorry, didnt really think about that....." he looked down at the menu, "well they have the stuff a usual diner has, just a bit more.....fancified." he chuckled "the chef here is really nice, he can accomidate for anything you want."

"Its alright."

*She said.*

"And that sounds good."

*She smiled.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled back a light blush still on his face as jake came back, "so are you two ready to order?"

midnight looked down, "hmm, ill have what i usually get for breakfeast."

jade nodded, "pancakes and eggs, alright, and for the lovely lady?"

midnight looked down, "hmm, ill have what i usually get for breakfeast."

jade nodded, "pancakes and eggs, alright, and for the lovely lady?"

 

"Ill just have the same."

*She said with a smile.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

jake smiled, "very well, it will be out shortly." he smiled and turned toward the kitchen,

"see," midnight smiled, "this place usually serves S-SEC almost exclusively, but ive helped S-SEC so much lately im considered a unofficial officer, and it helps i saved the chefs and owners life in one sitting." he chuckled softly.

"Seems like your the guy to know."

*Miyst chuckled.*

"Glad your on my team."

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled , "glad i met you."

he shrugged, "im not well known out here, its just at some points ive been in the right place at the right time."

smiling he put his hand next to hers, "in more ways then one."

[Apollo 297]

midnight smiled , "glad i met you."

he shrugged, "im not well known out here, its just at some points ive been in the right place at the right time."

smiling he put his hand next to hers, "in more ways then one."

 

*Miyst smiled and blushed. Then she remembered something.*

"I had an idea of what we can use all this money for. There is this old decommissioned cruiser for sale that I have had my eye on for a while now. And we have enough credits to get it."

*She pulled a holo-disk out of her pocket and turned it on. It displayed this ship.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight looked the ship over and nodded approvingly, "very good, it would hold enough cargo space for large shipments, and i can sell my ship to help out." he smiled, "this could also work out to our advantage," he pulled up the specs for the cruiser, "most of its weapon systems were removed, but," he flicked through some of the pages, "if i had the time and money," he smiled at her, "i could get the weapons back and even upgrade them......" he grinned, "this would be one hell of a courier ship.

"You know it."

*She smiled.*

"And as for a name for it, once its all fixed up, I was thinking, in keeping with the theme, the ship can be named, Olympus."

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smirked, "good name, though we will need a small crew to keep everything in check, EVA can handle electronics and stuff like that, and your uncle AI can handle the flight systems and do what he normally does on the apollo,"

he smiled as jake brought their breakfast, "thank you."

jake smiled "this one is on the house midnight, chefs orders."

midnight smiled, "i wont argue with Jaquelyn."

 

he turned back to miyst, "this could turn into a really awesome adventure."

"Yup."

*She smiled.*

"I can't wait."

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight pats her hand softly, "lets eat first, buy ship later."

 

he took a bite of his eggs and chuckled, "jaquelyn youve done it again," he smiles and keeps eating, "she makes some of the best scrambled eggs on the station."

[Apollo 297]

*The two of them ate their breakfast and then headed down to the area where the ship was docked.*

"Here it is."

*Miyst said, looking up at the ship in front of them.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight looked up at it then smiled, "shes in alot better shape then i first thought, "he walked up along side it "yeah, with a little work, these guns could be back in working order." he smiled back at miyst, he had the slight look of a kid in a candy shop.

"I cant wait to get a look at the mechanics and wiring and the engines and all of it!"

*Miyst looked incredibly excited. Someone walked up to the two of them.*

 

"Ah, Miyst! Come to look and daydream at the ship again?"

*The guy said.*

 

"Nope, actually, Im here today to finally buy."

*Miyst smiled. The guy looked shocked.*

 

"Where did you get three billion credits from?"

*The guy asked.*

 

"My last job had a good payout."

*Miyst said.*

"So Jeb, you ready to make the sale?"

 

*Jeb sighed.*

"I guess so. Gonna miss the old girl though."

 

"We will take good care of her."

*Miyst promised.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled, "ill get everything from my ship, can i start loading things onto it?" he looked over at jeb,

"sure," jeb smiled, "miyst and i will go finalize, you can get your things on board.

midnight nodded and gave miyst a tight hug before heading off to his own ship to grab what little he owned.

[Apollo 297]

*Jeb smirked as Miyst hugged Midnight back*

"So, you finally found yourself a boyfriend, eh?"

 

*Miyst blushed.*

"Y-yeah, I guess so."

 

"Good for you."

*Jeb said.*

"So, you really have the money for this?"

 

*Miyst held up the money card and activated the counter display on it. The display popped up showing the number 6 billion.*

 

"Wow, thats a lot of money. I guess you really are getting that ship."

 

*Miyst smiled.*

"Yeah, I cant wait to get to work on rebuilding her."

 

*Jeb smiled.*

"Well, you be good to her. She really got me out of quite a few jams in my day."

 

"Dont worry. I know how to treat a ship with respect."

 

*The two of them went into Jeb's office and finalized the transfer of the ship to Miyst's property.*

 

"You can come see her any time."

*Miyst said.*

 

"I better."

*Jeb laughed.*

 

"Well, its been an honor, ex-commander Jeb Shepard."

*Miyst said and shook Jeb's hand.*

 

"Likewise Miyst."

[Prince Midnight 817]

(I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR)

*a few hours later*

 

midnight had found himself a comfortable room inside the ship moving what little he owned into it, he had actually found someone willing to buy his ship almost immiedietly, and it sold for pretty high almost 500,000.

 

He made a mental note to trasfer the funds to miyst when he had the chance, looking down at the small memory board, he hooked it up to the ships VI interface, installing EVA into the ships computers and smiled "how does she feel EVA?"

"big, and powerful midnight, it will take me a little while to get a hold of all the systems im working with, but that shouldnt take long."

midnight smiled, "well, im going to go see what can be done with the guns, call that painter guy, we have a special request."

 

(when miyst comes back OLYMPUS will be about halfway done on the side of the hull X3 where normandy should be.)

[Apollo 297]

*When Miyst got back to the ship, she saw that the ship's new name was being painted onto the hull.*

"Sure knows how to get things done, doesn't he."

*She said quietly. She had Apollo's A.I. chip with her, ready to be set up on the ship. She got into the ship's main deck and installed Apollo into the ship's flight system mainframe. The lights in the deck all lit up as Apollo took control.*

 

"Ooh, you were right, this is a really nice ship."

*Apollo said as his image appeared in full size next to Miyst.*

 

"Uncle, would I lie to you?"

*Miyst said.*

 

"No, i guess you wouldn't"

*Apollo chuckled.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight shook his head, "a little old," he frowned, "needs something more," he smirked and moved to the workbench and fiddled around with some spare parts he layed out.

 

2 hours and a bit of swearing later, midnight believed he had it down,

 

"lessee here, connect that, to that, and......" the device powered up with a blue glow, "there we go," he grinned and hooked it up to main guns power source, "that should give the main gun a bit more of a kick." he said with a smile,

*Miyst walked into the room Midnight was working in.*

"Hey, how goes it?"

*Upon inspection, she was a little torn up from working on the engines.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight gave her a hug, "just finished a little touch to the guns power source, so any of the olympus's guns should have a bit more of a kick," he looked her up and down, "see you had fun with the engines?" he placed a hand on some of the cuts and slightly heated up his hands, ebbing the pain away with soothing heat.

"are they in working order?"

"are they in working order?"

 

"They're getting close to it. Its a stubborn ship, seen a lot of use, but they will be up and running in no time."

*Miyst said with a smile.*
