Dogfight over Bryyo

Kip was tempted to just finish him, but he too stopped.

Kip shrugged. "You asked about my torps. I would not be surprised if you had more questions

"Errr... Okay... what is that ship powered by?"

"Its a phazon powered generator. It was corrupted by the seed at the Space Pirate Homeworld, and was not removed from the destruction of Phaaze." he replied smoothly, transmitting the data about it.

"That's very interesting. I was studying Phazon during the duration of its discovery. A lot of my inventions run off Phazon right now. It's dangerous, but interesting. I think Phazon may have independent organic properties. It would explain why there are different types of Phazon."

"Well have you ever noticed how phazon based life forms give off a lot of Phazon energy, and can be tapped, but overloaded easily? Its almost like they run on a fine line between generation and self-destruction."

"Yeah. A perforated line, it seems."

"Well It cant be all bad. I mean, at least it doesnt completely remove all control of your body from you and uses it as a weapon to kill others, and as you disintegrate they use your flesh to make hundreds of little infection forms to spread it even further."

"Well, yeah, I want whatever kills me to kill everyone else. But what do I know? I'm a selfish bastard."

((Did ye get the reference?))

Kip nodded grimly. "Well, then again, there could be something exactly like that, but uses only materials like metals to continue."

"Evil robots. Definitely."

((What reference?))

((The things i was speaking of is the Flood. And this, the replicators))

"Evil in our eyes, yes. But they think we are inferior and worthless, and will dispose of us. AND they are immune to energy fire."

Xanny tapped his fingers: "Miss Aran, take your time to strike!"

"Dammit..." Shasta looked at Xanny, then at Kip. "Dammit! I was having an intelligent conversation! Hey, I'd love to keep talking and everything, but Xanny needs an unfair disadvantage. This was interesting."

'Miss Aran' has actually not near the controls, still drinking her tea, lost in thought. Suddenly remembering that she was in the middle of a dogfight, she hopped into the chair again and began to fly towards Xanny's ship, locking on with missiles and firing. "Sorry.. I've been a little absentminded lately. Probably because I haven't been in serious battles... stupid federation putting a bounty on my head."

Kip did a barrel roll and pulled himself out of combat. "Well, no ones on me so I guess just warp outta here...wait no, wait I gotta land first."

Xanny started skipping the torpedoes. "You'll need a better strategy to take me down, darling!"

"You'll need to stop being an ass, darling." Shasta shot at him.

((This turned out... interesting xD))

Xanny got surprised by the hit: "This is from the same guy whose mission is to suffer me".
He said attempting to attack him while dodging Samus' hit

"Says the guy who smokes a bong while flying! Seriously, you're just that bad! 'Nyaaaah I have a better ship!'" Shasta looped around I-82B, once again trying to aim for his engines.

"I smoke nothing!", Agent I-82B said getting to fire near Shasta's piloting chamber

Shasta paused "Except, you know... Weed."

" No, I did not! I barely took off my suit - Xanny said keeping ducking Samus' torpedoes - but I drink lot of coffee. Lots... I should stop...!".

He wished to stop, but he couldn't, much to his dismay

"So the cannabis is injected directly into your bloodstream? That's pretty dangerous, don't you think?"

Xanny had switched his channel with Thoth and Shasta to mute, so he could not listen to them. So, instead of reply again by insulting them (as he wished), he just nodded and said: "uh uh!"

Kip just stared at the feud. "All this over a phazon generator? Geez. At least I didnt comment about anything else." It was almost like in the movies and videos he has seen before, but this one was 3D!
