The last topic went down in flames (literally).
Let us resurect it.

They reach the docking bay. Three Lightnings, one Kestrel, two Corvetes, and four scoutships lay before them. "Okay" Riprock says "Which one?"
"Um.... the Kestrel" Rogan answers. They run for the ship, get in, and pilot it out. Suddenly, red lights light up all over the ship, and Riprock noticies a huge red dot on the radar.
"What's that!?" Rogan yells.
Then they see it, "It's the U.S.S. Constellation!" Riprock yells.
Proton bolts pellet the hull of the Kestrel. "Sheilds at 75%!" Rogan yells. Suddenly, the consol in front of Rogan expoleds!....
P.S. Just a reminder, the Confed Cruiser CAN turn in the story.

Rogan gets some wires from a control board in the face. He shakes his head and yells to riprock: "Let`s get to the fighter bay! A bunch of torpedoes are shot from the Constellation, and the control room is filled with flames only seconds after Rogan and Riprock leaves. Quickly, Rogan jumps into a Lightning fighter and Riprock steals another one. The two fighters escape from the docking bay right before the Constellation blows the Kestrel to Kingdom Come.

Rogan and Riprock are zipping away in their Lightenings when the energy wave from the exploding Kestrel gets them.
"****!", they both yell at the same time. Both fighters were disabled.
Luckily, the Constellation had hypered out.
"Hey," Rogan says, "There's a Bulk Freighter. Let's ask it for help."
Before long, they are on board the Bulk Freighter, named the S.S. Happy Hacker. The Capitan feeds them and they go to sleep after a long day.
Meanwhile, on the cargo hold of the S.S. Happy Hacker, two men crouch behind a crate of Luxury Goods.
"PETA Headquarters, this is Agent BigBear-156. We have sneaked aboard a Bulk Freighter. Rick is with me, he's all healed up. That **** of his works, man. It freaks me out the way he can regenerate and ****. And those two Rebel agents just happen to be on the same ship..."

I'm lost. Regenerate what? What two Rebel agents?

Dr. Richard Malcom has temporary immortality from his 5th dosage of the Elixer of life (which he took before taking over the USS Seattle). So he can regenerate his health and body parts if he gets hurt. Jason blasted a hole in his chest in the spaceport on Atroops, remember? Then Agent BigBear-156 (who's real name is Nash-Burn) brought him to safety. If Dr. Malcom gets the 6th dosage, he becomes immortal for 21 years.

First of all, he never took over ANY confed ship. Seconed, it's called the Constellation, not Seattle!
I'm a little lost, so sorry if I make a mistake. ------------------ The Bulk Freighter Happy Hacker goes through a few jump links and then lands on Turin. Riprock and Rogan meet Rendar on Turin and go towards the shipyard to look for someone Render was just talking about.
"So you're sure he's here?" Riprock asked.
"Yup, I'm pretty sure. He's usually here fixing up Rebel warships, even though he ain't exactly in the Rebel Navy. He's kind of a mercenary, doing anything anti-Confed or pro-Rebel. He should be in one of these docking bays," Render replied.
Rogan goes to the left, Riprock and Rendar went to the right. Suddenly, Riprock saw a hover-forklift carring what looked like a combination of a neutron blaster and proton cannon go into one of the docking bays. "He'll be in there then," Rendar said, pointing to the bay where the hover-forklift went.
As they entered, Riprock saw a Rebel Destroyer with its nose dismantled sitting in the docking bay. The Captain was talking with another engineer, apparently nagotiating the price. Riprock saw the neutron blaster/proton cannon (which was massive) being loaded into the nose of the Rebel destroyer. Workers then proceeded to hook it up to the destroyer.
The Captain and Lead Engineer stopped talking, the Captain going back to oversee the installation, the engineer (with a bunch of credit sticks) began to walk over to a hovercar parked nearby.
"Hey! Hey Rick!" Render called out to him.
The engineer spun around. "Hey Rendar! Haven't seen ya in a while! Whose this?"
Rendar turned to Riprock. "Rick, this is Dash Riprock. Riprock, this is "Rick the Tick", an ex-pirate."
Riprock suddenly remembered the name. "Rick the Tick! Never thought I'd meet you!". Rick the Tick was an infamous Pirate who had devastated the world of New Japan (I think I got the name right). He had been the Confeds worst nightmare. Confed patrols couldn't find him. Fleets couldn't stop him. When they had him cornered, he always managed to escape. Some people thought he had a cloaking device. They were right. Riprock was one of the few people who knew Rick the Tick had made his own cloaking device and used it to evade the Confeds. Ricks reign of terror ended when the Confeds managed to annihilate one of his fleets, and Rick began to work as an anti-Confed, pro-Rebel mercenary.
"I've known Rick for years. He's known for being able to create new types of weapons to fit every persons needs," Rendar said.
"Yeah," Rick replied. "Right now I'm loadin up that Proton blaster into that Rebel destroyer. Captain said he wanted a heavy dutey proton cannon, so I hooked up a proton generator and matrix to a neutron blaster assembelly. Works pretty nice. Not as strong as a neutron blaster, but better range. What ya want me to do today?"
"We need a weapon good enough to fit on anything about the size of a Rebel destroyer, but strong enough to be able to take out a Confed cruiser relatively easily," Riprock replied.
"Hmmmmmmmm....Well, I don't usually give people these, but I got an anti-neutron particle beam. Even the Confeds and Rebels haven't got technology this high tech. It's expensive, but good. I can fit it on a Corvette and up, but you'll need a special generator to use it. It'll take out a Confed cruiser for ya. Need it to kill Malcom?"
Riprock and Rendar were stunned. How'd Rick know that? "How'd you know that?" Rendar asked.
"Simple: Eleven guys, including this one guy that had a bear costum hat, came before you looking for big guns to kill Malcom with. I gave them this and that, but not the beam I'm offering you. Seems Malcom has a reputation, but not a good one."
Rendar looked surprised, and then Riprock asked the major question: "How much do you want and how fast can you get it in?"
"Cost: 5 million credits. Time: 6 hours. Fair enough?"
"Fair," Rendar replied and gave Rick the credits.
"I hope I'll be able to tell you too apart by name, you're both Ricks!" Riprock said.
"Don't worry. Just call me Rendar," Rendar replied.
"Good, now lets go!"
After joining up with Rogan, the group went to get a ship. They decided on a Corvette, and within 6 hours Rick had the anti-neutron particle beam installed along with the special generator. As Rick went back to work, the rest of them boarded the new Corvette, which they called the Tremor. Now, they were ready to nail Malcom once and for all...

He took the Frigate USS Seattle over in the last string! He killed the capitan and posed as the new capitan, supposevly sent by the Confederation.
Then it was destroyed by Rebels and he ended up in the Atroops Spaceport were Jason shot him!

Just get on with the story. And no more taking over huge ships which have 1,000 crew members with just ONE agent!
As Rogan and Riprock blasted off in the Tremor, Dr. Malcom and Agent BigBear-156 were in the spaceport, looking at them.
"Damnit, Dr. Malcom.," Agent BigBear said, "We didn't manage to get rid of them on board the Happy Hacker."
"Worry not, my animal loving freind," Dr. Malcom replied. Now that they're off looking for us were we're not, we're totally safe!"
"But don't you want to kill them?"
"Oh, yeah," Dr. Malcom replied, "I do want to kill them. I'm immortal for 3 more days, then I need to take my 6th dose of the Elixer of Life. Of course, I'll need some human blood as the final ingredient in the Elixer. I shall kill one of those two pesky Rebel agents and use their blood in my mix."
"Wouldn't it be safter to just murder someone in an ally and use their blood, instead of risking everything just to get revenge on these two?"
"SHUT UP WITH YOUR REASONING!", Dr. Malcom yelled. "They wouldn't call me an evil genius if I didn't so stuff like that!"
A few hours later, as the Tremor was preparing to Hyperspace out, a shuttlecraft came calling to them for help.
"Help. This is the ShuttleCraft 156. We have been disabled by pirates. Please Help."
Being the nice guys that they were, Rogan and Riprock immediatly went to the shuttlecraft and boarded it.
They didn't find a helpless merchant inside. They found PETA Agent BigBear-156 and Dr. Richard Malcom.
"Hi there," Agent BigBear said, pulling out a Plasma Blaster.
Riprock took out his own gun and shot Dr. Malcom in the head. Dr. Malcom fell back a little, but came right back, his injuries already healed. In disbeief, Riprock fired 6 more shots, no effect.
Dr. Malcom punched Riprock, who was knocked out instantly.
Rogan had more luck. He exchanged some gunfire with Agent BigBear 156, but both survived. BigBear chased him back onto the Tremor, were BigBear was incinerated by the Corvette's crew members.
But while this happened, Dr. Malcom disconnected his Shuttlecraft from the Tremor, with Riprock on board, and hyperspaced into Matar. "The Confederation will back me up there, without even knowing it," he muttered.
Meanwhile, Rogan was back on the Tremor. "Follow that Shuttlecraft!", he yelled to his crew! "Into Matar we go!"
Meanwhile the crew members of the Tremor, after turning BigBear to ash, put his remains in a bag and shoved it down the garbage disposal. ----------------------- As the shuttlecraft hyperspaced in, three Confed frigates moved to cover it. Suddenly, the Tremor hyperspaced in. The three frigates immediately opened fire on the Tremor. Rogan responded by firing his anti-neutron particle beam, which immediately blew off the wing on one of the frigates. As the others continued to exchange fire with the Tremor, Dr. Malcom headed towards the planet.
The Tremor was slightly outgunned. The anti-neutron beam could not regenerate fast enough to destroy them, and the one they blew the wing off of was still shooting. As Malcom raced away laughing, klaxtons on his ship started to blare, the HUD went wild, sirens went off! "Warning! Enemy vessel approaching directly ahead! Weapons signature detected!" blared the computer warning system.
Dr. Malcom looked ahead and saw a black corvette decloak directly in front of him. As Malcom screamed, the corvette came up alongside and suddenly Riprock, still unconcious, disappeared!
The corvette came about and fired a magenta beam with hit the tiny shuttlecraft dead on target! The shuttle exploded in a huge fireball of flames and wreckage! As the flames and scrap metal cleared, Rogan noticed an escape pod flying away.
The Corvette, which Rogan identified as the Blazer, turned around then then destroyed the three Confed frigates with help from the Tremor. The Blazer hailed Rogan. "Hey Rogan!"
"Rick the Tick!" Rogan exclaimed. "Good thing you came! But why'd you destroy that shuttlecraft with Riprock in it?"
"Don't worry. He's here with me. Another little bit of my advanced technology. Dematerialization beam, can go through low intensity and weak shields. I "Transported" Riprock off before I destroyed the shuttlecraft. Unfortunately, Malcom got away again."
"Don't worry. We got rid of BigBear. Shoved him down a garbage disposal," Rogan replied smiling.
"What?"
"Tell you later. Let's get back to Turin."
A few days later, the Tremor jumped into Turin, with both Rick the Tick and Riprock aboard. "Thank God, we got rid of that Frosty the Bear guy" Rogan said as he activated the landing computer. "Guess well be safe here" he continued, "but I prefer taking a PPG with me if we leave the ship." Rick the Tick docked his Corvette, and Rogan put the Tremor in orbit. Rick docked on the Tremor with a shuttlepod. "Riprock is still unconscious" he said to Rogan, "heres some arament from my ship." He pointed at some crates. "Theyre full of pulse cannons, proton rifles, PPGs and incinerators." Suddenly, they heard a sound, and the Tremors alarm went on. "****!" Rogan yelled, "whats happening here!" "A ConFed destroyer approached us without anyone noticing it!" a crew member cried out, "they must have scrambled us or something!" Meanwhile, on level 4, a large hole was cut trough the Tremor and lots of ConFed marines armed with state of the art weaponry entered...

As they run away, they hear Dr. Malcom's voice.
"Yes, officers. These are the pirates that destroyed my Shuttlecraft."
"That bastard!," Rogan thought.
Rogan and Riprock hid in the Cargo bay as the Confeds arrested most of their crew.
Suddenly, a man walked up behind them. It was Dr. Malcom.
"Hi there," he said. Tbe Clock's a ticking, time to take the 6th and final dose of the Elixer of Life."
In his other hand, Malcom held a Confed Marine by the neck. He then strangled the Marine, and quickly extracted the 7CCs of blood he needed. Then he mixed that with some liquid he had in a bottle.
"This is the almightly Elixer of Life. White Wine, Sweat, Hair, Secret Hobo Spices, and &CCs; of Human blood. Once I take my 6th dose of this, I shall be immortal for 21 years."
Thinking quickly, Dash Riprock grabbled the bottle of Elixer from Malcom.
"Hey, give that back!"
Knowing he couldn't win hand to hand combat with Malcom, Riprock drank the Elixer himself!
"NOOOOOOOO!," yelled Dr. Malcom. "If I don't take the 6th dose my midnight the process with reverse itself!"
The clock struck midnight.
Dr. Richard Malcom aged into a decaying, corpse-like old man.
Riprock kicked him, breaking Dr. Malcom into several small pieces.
"Wow," Riprock said. "That Elixer of his I drank gave me superhuman strength and immortality for the next 18 days. Cool. I think I'll use it for something cool."
With that, Riprock went out and beat the crap out of all the Confed Marines. Returning unscathed, he and Rogan hopped onto a fighter, and landed safely on Turin V.
There, they met Dr. Render.
"Good work, boys. Now its time for your next mission...
Rendar then lead them to a secret facility on Turin V. Once inside, Rendar pointed to several large crates with toxic chemical signs on them. "These my friends are what I've been working on: Biogenic, Biological, and Biochemical weapons. The biogenic one decays metal, rendering Confed vessels useless and unable to function. The Biological one puts humans and animals (and I think even viruses) into a coma. And finally, there is the Biochemical one. This one released chemically enhanced viruses onto a planet, which quickly spreads and covers the planet. The biochemical viruses them kill all plant life, rendering whole planets devoid of plant life."
And then, Rendar goes over to another crate, with metal reinforcing and two Rebel guards nearby. "And this, is a special Chemical weapon. This weapon disolves the atmosphere and ozone of a planet, rendering it totally uninhabitable and killing all native life. When it is first released, it must take a while to mature. While it is maturing, it gives humans the following symtoms: Violent coughing, vomiting, high fever, and cramps. I designed it to render a population immobile, and then destroy the atmosphere. Because of its deadlyness it must be guarded. Now, I want you to take these to Sirgil starport, where there will be specific instructions for their use. We need to take them to Sirgil because the injectors are there."
"Injectors?" Riprock asks.
"Injectors fire pods containing the agents onto a planet or moon. Once you have the injectors, you will recieve instructions for these weapons use. We need you because you are immortal for the time being. If it leaks, you are okay. And not only that, you can defend these weapons better than the Rebel navy can. Now, go!!"
Rogan and Riprock load the weapons onto the Tremor and blast off into Hyperspace.
For several days, they don't even see any Confed vessels.
Then they hyper into Antares. A crew member runs into the capitans chamber, screaming.
"Capitan Rogan! There is a huge red ship attacking us! Its unlike anything I've seen before!"
Rogan looks out the window.
"Oh my god! That huge red ship is...
...An Alien Cruiser!!" Riprock screams.
"Fire all weapons!!!!" Rogan yells.
The Tremor fires all its weapons, but they fail to do any significant damage to the alien vessel. "Fire Anti-Neutron Beam!"
The Tremor fires an anti-neutron beam, which blasts away 30% of the alien vessels shields. Suddenly, it fires its heavy fusion beam, destroying half the Tremor's shields, and disabling its anti-neutron beam.
Suddenly, Riprock remembers something. "Hey, aren't Alien Cruisers made up of organic hull?"
"Yes," Rogan replies.
"Then i'll go out there and dump a bunch of biochemical stuff onto the vessel and detonate a theta radiation grenade, which should speed it up. Because I am right now Invinci-Man, they can't hurt me and the biochemical stuff can't hurt me and space can't hurt me!"
"Well then, go!"
Riprock goes to the cargo bay and grabs a canister of the biochemical agent, and then jumps out an airlock. As he floats toward the alien cruiser, the captain sees him and fires his heavy fusion beam at Riprock. The beam does nothing (duh) and Riprock continues moving toward the alien cruiser with a smile on his face. He then grabs onto the alien cruiser's organic hull. As blasting a hole in the armor, Riprock walks in. He then attaches the theta radiation grenade to the canister and detonates it. As the gas fills the ship, Riprock sees the hull around him slowly disintigrate. After the alien cruiser completely disolves, Riprock is picked up by the Tremor.
"Nice job with the biochemical stuff!" Rogan says. "Now lets go!"
After reaching Sirgil Rogan and Riprock pick up the injectors there, and then open up a comlink with Rendar. Riprock then proceeds to tell him about the encounter with the alien cruiser. "And that biochemical stuff worked real good! It turned the cruiser into jello!"
"Uh, tell you later. When should be launch the injectors?" Rogan asks.
"I just got word from Rebel Command. They want you to launch the biochemical stuff on New Japan, the biogenic stuff on New France, the biological stuff on Merlin, and finally the most dangerous one, the chemical agent, on New Columbia."

Note Part of the Story: In the next post, please try to get the different weapons not mixed up. Please remember which weapons do what, and where they are to be released.
