Anaheim Weapons Test Alpha
James Daviott grunts as he watches the Anaheim Electronics technicians swarm over his bridge. He is currently sitting back in his chair trying hard not to get up and kick the techs off of his bridge but he knows they are just doing what they paid him to allow them to do. A simple weapons test. What he wasn’t prepared for was the extent of the modifications they were doing to his weapons and engineering stations.
"They are like ants." states a voice behind James. "Don’t worry Mr. Daviott, all of this is temporary. Once the test are done we will have your bridge back to normal"
"I am not too worried." replies James as he stands up to greet the person who was speaking. To his surprise it is a woman dressed in a lab coat. "And who do I have the honor of standing before?"
"I’m sorry Mr. Daviott. My name is Doctor Sky Matthias. And I am the head researcher on this wonderful new toy that we have hooked up to your ship. I would like to personally thank you for its use."
"Its no problem Doctor. Its my pleasure."
"I am sure the credits didn’t hurt to get you to volunteer either did it." state the doctor with a smile. She then nods as the techs alert her that all is ready. "It is time to begin the test Mr. Daviott."
James nods and moves back to his chair while Dr. Matthais moves to the communications station and reaches over the officer stationed there and types a few commands and nods. "When ever you are ready."
James turns towards his weapons officer. "Target drone alpha."
"Drone Alpha is targeted." answers the weapons officer.
James types a command into his chair and looks at his screen which is a replay of the new mega particle cannon turning to face its target. The thrusters firing with precision. James grunts his satisfaction. "Fire weapon when ready."
"Aye sir."
The lights on bridge dim a little as the weapons officer fires the weapon. A bright bolt of energy erupts out of the weapon and hits the distant drone. The drone is gone in an instant.
"End test." orders Dr. Matthais as she slams her hand down on the console beside her. "The weapon is no longer operable."
"What happened?" asks James as he replays the scene on his screen of the weapon firing.
"We burned out the coils of the mpc again. Mainly it seems from the fact that it drew too much power. Well, thanks for you time. The credits have been transferred to your account." With that said she orders her techs to disconnect everything and then she storms out.
James frowns and goes back to watching the techs.
Outcome: Weapon burned out.
James Daviott: No Damage, 20 exp, 200,000 credits plus increase in rep for AE
