Wanderer ~ Fighting against destiny

Well, get ready for a different, slightly more novelistic post style folks~

Intro is a bit shorter than I normally put up, but, uh, enjoy d^.^b





Alvis gave a small sigh of contention as he leaned back and flipped on the overhead monitors inside his delivery ship the Jennifer. This was the Jennifer’s last official voyage, she was going to be replaced with a larger and much more efficient ship, the Golgamat, when he returned from this delivery, so Alvis wanted to spend as much time with the faithful old clunker that had pulled his fat out of the fire so many times in the past five years.

Alvis was suddenly knocked out of his drifting reverie by the Jennifer’s proximity alarm. “Oh poo, what is it now?” he mused to himself as he brought up another view on his monitor. “Oh dear, this could be ever so unpleasant.” He said with a hand over his mouth as the smugglers vessel came into view on his monitor.

Just then the Jennifer received a hail from the other vessel.
“Well, if it ain’t our little delivery girl, you gonna reconsider our generous offer from last time princess?” The man on the com screen said with a gruff laugh.
“Ugh, like I’d ever join a bunch of unwashed, lawbreaking thugs like you.” Alvis said with a disgusted sigh.
“Your funeral kid.” The smuggler said with a grin before punching out of his com link.
“Oh deary me, this isn’t looking good.” Alvis said as he pushed the top-side maneuvering thrusters to full, narrowly avoiding a blast from the smuggling ships front cannons.

“I think it’s about time I got going.” He said to himself as he gunned the engines heading straight for the other vessel, barely avoiding a collision by spinning the Jenifer at the last moment.
“Crazy little freak!” the smuggler screamed as the Jennifer wizzed by mere inches from his ship, by the time he’d turned to pursue, Alvis had already dropped into hyperdrive and was on his way back home.

Also, if anyone wants to get into this feel free to create whatever character you want, the only two that are off limits are Hiro and Ashira.

((I'll post his bio as soon as possible, the above picture is what he looks like, hope half cyborgs half humans are okay?))

Snowman walked in and looked around." another narrow escape sir?" he asked, crossing his arms, his hand was just a simple hand, not the usual gunblade. Snowman used to be a millitary issued special ops soldier cyborg, but he escaped with alvis 2 years prior than today. he was nicknamed Swowman for the nose on his helmet and that he was finished on a day it snowed. he was a kind hearted cyborg who was blindly loyal to Alvis, helping him in many things, but usually came down to taking out those who wanted to kill him.

"Thank you ever so much for your concern Snowman, but it wasn't as narrow as it looked, I merely wanted to frighten those awwwful brutes so we could escape." Alvis replied with a smile.
"Really sir, you shouldn't be so reckless, I worry for your safety." Snowman replied as he walked over to Alvis.

Alvis just laughed at this and turned back to the controls, "There aren't many ships outside the military that can out maneuver the Jennifer, and brainless thugs like that would never be able to fly those well enough to keep up with me." He gave a sad smile before continuing "They treat their equipment poorly, using that poor ship like it was just some tool built to do their bidding. They'll never truly be able fly until they can see the soul within the machine."

"Just like you saw the gentle soul within me sir?" Snowman inquired.
"Yes, much the same way I saw the gentle soul behind the facade of a deadly killing machine I know the Jennifer heart and soul." Alvis replied with a gentle smile.
"The Jennifer is more than just a ship to me, she's a trusted companion who's pulled me out of a lot of tight spots and helped me and my crew more times than I can count, I don't control this ship, I work alongside her, that's where a true pilot rises above the rest."
"Now, let's get home, we already have another job waiting." Alvis finished before setting the Jennifer on autopilot and hopping up from his chair.
"Since you have your normal hands on would you care to play a game of chess with me Snowman?" Alvis said as he pulled up a holo-chess board.

"absolutely sir"replied Snowman as he took a seat"so tell me sir...what is this new mission?" he asked as he moved the a pawn peice 2 squares." oh and I hope you dont mind....but at our last stop I let 2 travellers on board, I can asure you they won't be a problem at all" snowman's mind was in thought, trying to remember his past, before he became the killing machine he was, all he could see was glimpses of a tree, with a child swinging back forth. he then snapped out of it

Alvis could tell Snowman was distracted, he normally played better than this.
"I hope these 'passengers' have money this time." Alvis said with a sigh as he moved his knight to block Snowman's pawn.
While he couldn't fault the cyborgs kind heart the passengers he usually picked up were honest down on their luck folk without a cent to their name, while undeniably kind it wasn't very good for business.
"And as for that job, we'll be moving three large containers of Thelenium ingots to the forges on Demicon, I know you dislike being around Demicon but the pay was just too good to pass up, I'll make it up to you pinky promise~" Alvis said with a giggle.

The reason for the high payoff was that Thelenium was an extremely valuable alloy used in the manufacturing of starship warp reactors, and, because of it's value, anyone transporting it was almost guaranteed to be the target of pirates, despite this, Alvis wasn't worried, he knew he could outfly all of the pirates around tyhe Demicon space lanes

" oh sir...she said she would pay us dearly...she was the Narthean princess..." said Snowman before he looked down again, he always wanted to be human, wanting to feel warm skin again, to be able to feel other things...like love, but he just sighed" sir...do you...do you think theres someone out there...for me?" Snowman asked, h wantec to ask before, but now he had put alot of thought into it, he let it out

the doors opened, to which a large built man came in, holding a large laser cutter." Snowman..Alvis...just letting you guys know that upgrading engine capacitors is complete and will b working 50% faster than before"
