Moon Repair Overwatch

[Mig Cabra]

Mig thought that after clearing out the hangar, the mission would be a total success. Instead it turned out they had been too ambitious with the destruction and caused some serious damage to the hangar itself. Now he and his partner had to return as a sort of punishment for their failure. They were on guard duty while the construction crews repaired things. Apparently there was still a risk of pirate attacks or something as revenge. The Gotal Engineer was perfectly happy to help wherever he could though.

"Freyja! We get to work together again! How wonderful!" Mig chimed cheerfully as the two would meet up again at their posts.

The Gotal was equipped for defending against anything this time. His load out was a little heavier than when they originally took the hangar. Slung over his back, it would be hard to ignore the PIPE. A terrifying weapon that could deal some extreme damage. One could only hope Mig knew how to use it properly. He still had everything else as well. His bowcaster as always was also over his back and he seemed ready to go.

"Curse you Ion." Freyja mumbled under her breath as she saw the Gotal approach where she stood near the entrance to the hanger area. She had been halfway back home when she got the signal to return to the moon and the hanger base. The Galactic Alliance they had secured it quickly enough after she had left, but now as they began to repair the damage they had caused when it was taken, there was a threat of pirates returning. So Freyja had been called back to the potsky moon to defend it whilst the construction workers finished their repairs.

The return call had informed her that another agent in close proximity had been sent to help, she had hoped as the Gotal's ship had a Hyperdrive he would have been long gone, but that hope died in her chest as the jolly alien walked towards her. "Yes, wonderful." Freyja exclaimed back to him. She hoped this mission was as quick as the last one.

Pirate activity was expected but no one had told Mig how much. It was likely that they were unsure what to expect so they posted the pair as guards in hopes it would be enough. The Gotal Engineer was careful not to be too easy of a target. He had made such mistakes in the past. Mig was determined to keep this hangar safe no matter what to make up for all his past failures. Pirates would not stop the determined Mig and his wonderful partner.

"Is that ours, friend?" Mig asked Freyja as he saw a ship approaching the hangar, a shuttle or drop ship of some kind. "I think it is not!"

The drop ship was carrying half a dozen pirates who were coming to help liberate their hangar. Revenge was coming and the ship had gotten too close for Mig to grab his PIPE in time to not do more damage to the Hangar. Instead he reached for his bowcaster in an attempt to shoot them before they landed. Perhaps that would scare them off. He aimed carefully as they entered and let off a single shot that hit the hull rather than anything important or anyone through the open door. Just a shot that put them on alert while scaring the pilot into swerving the drop point further away. At least the pirates would not be so close to start.

Freyja's annoyance at being placed back with the Gotal had cost her the drop, which annoyed her further. Taking hold of her rifle she quickly moved away from the Gotal, heading to the Alien's right to give them more space to work with, she set up shop behind a couple of empty crates, both made of thick Durasteel, good cover. She watched as the Gotal shot out with his Bowcaster, the weapon had a good deal of force behind it, enough to penetrate the cockpit of the shuttle and kill its pilot, so the ship veered off landing just out of range.

Freyja watched as the half dozen pirates moved out of the back of the shuttle, the angle was tight and it was at high range but Freyja aimed and let out a shot. The shot missed, slamming into the tail of the shuttle no where near a living creature, but it was sufficient enough to gather their attention. The thugs turned to look at the woman and began to charge at her with all their combined strength. "Frak."

 

[Mig Cabra]

These pirates were either brave or stupid. Mig was confused as to their tactics for this revenge strike. The pilot dropped them off far away which was smart after almost getting shot down, but then they still got out to face the music. Mig still had his bowcaster out and had followed with it down range to find where they landed. Freyja even tried to fire but only managed to somehow attract them to come fight. The Gotal had the closest one in his sights and fired soon after they started charging. A powerful bolt sprung forwards and threatened to rip the man in half.

"They're coming!" Mig said loudly, stating the obvious as his bolt was narrowly dodged by the front man only to devastate someone behind him.

One pirate down, five more to go it seemed. After the shot came they mostly dove for cover. One behind some crates, one behind a stack of materials, and the others behind a parked ship. Mig moved to cover as well before they started shooting back, getting nice and cozy with Freyja behind the crates.

"Why are you here. You idiotic Gotal." She screamed at the Gotal as he took cover next to her. "We need to spread out, so we can take them from to sides." She continued anger flowing from her voice. The face of the Alien just stared back, a stupid smile on its face which seemed to only annoy Freyja more. Looking back over the crate, she watched the pirates get closer, they began to open fire. Most of it was on the run, so harmless but there was still the chance of a stray shot.

Popping out of cover she took aim at the closest of the pirates and let fly with two shots of her rifle. As she peeked around the corner through a blaster bolt caught her in the arm, flinging her back around the cover, her shots going aimlessly into the direction. "This why I said we need to split up!" She screeched through the pain, as she dropped her rifle and picked out a thermal detonator from her belt, with one hand she threw it into the ongoing group. It landed between three, the explosion killing two instantly and injuring a third, forcing him to take cover further away from the pair. Plopping back down behind the cover, her right arm injured Freyja pulled the blaster from its holster and prepared for the dirty close quarter stuff.

 

[Mig Cabra]

Mig was a bit sad to hear Freyja yell at him. She was never happy to be with her friend Mig it seemed. He was not a warrior by nature so did not exactly listen well or act well in these fights. Over time he would certainly learn, but the Gotal was simply more Engineer than Soldier. This was proven further when he tried to fire his large bowcaster only to miss both of his shots and get splashed by a blaster bolt hitting his cover. It hurt but didn't really do anything permanent. The pain made him drop the Bowcaster and it took all he had not to cry between that and Freyja's yelling.

"Sorry, friend." He said, his tone a bit more somber than usual.

The Gotal then took a wrench off his belt and tried to chuck it over the crate at an enemy. It went rather poorly as would be expected by the weird move. It smacked into a crate doing nothing but causing noise while the Gotal once again came under fire. His only melee weapon was now a few meters away and he just got a glancing blow to the shoulder. Mig had done better but maybe all this chaos would help Freyja get a shot in at them. Only a couple remained so it'd be simple enough if they worked together. Mig thought so at least. He always had the PIPE on his back too.

Freyja honestly believed at this moment in time that Mig had been put in this universe to cause her nothing but misery. She watched in sheer disbelief as he threw his wrench at one of the incoming pirates, what if anything other than piss off the pirates did he think it was going to do. "Frak me." She said out loud as she leaned out of cover to take aim at the now seriously annoyed pirate. She only needed one shot, hitting the pirate square in the chest, just to the side of the heart, he wore no armour so fell to the ground mid-run, its face smacking into the floor with an audible crunch.

"One more Gotal." She said through gritted teeth her arm throbbing at any movement.

 

[Mig Cabra]

A combination of pain and being yelled at made Mig cry. He was sitting against the crate in tears when Freyja said her bit to him. Mig wanted to help his friend so he tried to fight through the tears to fire at the enemies. Picking up the Bowcaster hurt and he could not see very well to aim. It was pointed into the right direction and he pulled the trigger, shooting nothing at all as he went very wide. The recoil was too much to handle for the Gotal in pain so the weapon flew back and smacked him in the face. Mig began to cry even harder.

"It... it... it hurts..." He choked out between gasps of breath.

Mig would be a useless blob laying on the floor crying for the moment. The last one was all up to Freyja until the Gotal recovered. He was lucky that this was towards the end of the pirates and not the beginning. Not that it would cross his mind until much later. Mig just wanted to go home and cry with his droid giving him hugs.

Freyja wanted to put a bolt in the Gotal more than the pirate charging towards her. "Frak you Ion." She mumbled to herself as she lent out and took aim. Luckily the man was pretty much on top of her allowing her to make a much easier shot than she initially expected. Two shots, one in the stomach and another into the chest laid the pirate out flat.

With a gruff and not a moments pause for the crying Gotal, Freyja pulled herself to her feet, making sure to clip the creature with her boot as she walked past, feigning it as an accident as she walked away. The pirate that Freyja had wounded with the thermal detonator was slowly crawling its way back to the shuttle which had taken them there. Freyja with her left arm limp at her side took a couple of pop shots at the shuttle, which quickly activated its thrusters and made a hasty retreat leaving the wounded man calling out for him to come back.

Freyja reached the pirate, pain running through her entire body, filling her mind with pain and anger. She reached the pirate and kicked him square in the ribs forcing him to turn over onto his back. He pleaded with her as she levelled the blaster at his face, she took it in for a moment not saying a word before she pulled the trigger ending his life. Freyja looked up at the fleeing shuttle, hopefully, that had taught them a lesson not to come back.
