Aim to Win [Closed, pre Beyond the Sea Plot]

[thewunderkind]

The excitement of the poddrop had died down after a few days and Lash found herself back to her usual routine on the ship. It was rather amazing how much she could manage to do each 'day', from working in the labs, to shop management to training in the sensoriums. Truthfully, everything served to keep her occupied, which was an excellent thing--if Lash ever got bored anywhere it was a sure setup for a disaster of terrible repercussions. Probably explosive ones. Speaking of which...

"Fire! Fire!"

One of the ship's sensoriums was now being taken by her as she played it wisely and used it to tested out various prototypes before building them. They'd come out with a lot of robot parts to build thanks to SHODAN's rampage, and she was going to make the most use of what she'd gotten. With a typical Lash twist and flare, of course.

The soldier obeyed and fired the first cannon with a button press, the cannonball flying out and landing far away. Lash kept tabs using a CO pad, analyzing how the prototype fared. Upon landing, the cannonball opened itself up amongst the surprised enemy soldiers and turned into a small robot with turrets built on each side.

"Tee hee! It works, it works! Now, if I adjust the energy here, I should be able to build a small army, and that would be useful to aid during away missions..."

As she was about to approve it, the robot exploded. Soldiers, trees, dirt and burnt robot pieces flew into the air, landing close by.

"Oh oops! Hmmm...better not put that much energy into that one. The crew could lose a few arms and legs like that!" She said it with such a calm voice too, even if she was speaking to no one but herself and the nearby soldiers. With a small flick, she brushed off a piece of cracked robot, and began another prototype test.

Just another typical day for a wunderkind.

"Gotcha," Zetta said, instantly regarbing himself in sleek swim trunks. Behold the manly body over the Overlord in its full glory!

"And throw things at the Prinnies, I assume.:

[thewunderkind]

"Of course!" She looked at him and grinned. "Tee hee hee! It's missing a bit of a pirate touch." Right after she said that, a hat gently floated over his head and landed. "There. Much better."

Now where was that parrot Prinny of last time...

"Oh I know! Let's unleash a Kraken and see what they'll do!"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! Sounds like a plan!" Zetta reached over and grabbed a table, then scooped up Lash in his other arm. He took a moment to judge the distance, then lightly leaped over the intervening ocean to one of the ships. "Dinner and a show, my dear?"

[thewunderkind]

"Sounds like a good time," she answered, before realizing they had no chairs. Thankfully a few little ideas in the sensoriums and now and ultra comfortable cushioned pirated themed ones appeared close by, carved in wood and looking more like they belonged to a metal concert than anything else.

The Prinnies certainly didn't look too happy with what they'd be doing but when did the poor creatures ever feel happy around either of them?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

She totally understood Netherworld sensibilities. He plopped down in the one sized for him, seizing the table in the claws of one hand to drag it towards them once Lash herself had been properly seated. Though...

"So hey, you want an actual throne in my throne room, when all this is done?"

[thewunderkind]

"Can I install a laser on top of it?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Zetta glared at her. "Yes, I am going to tell you what your throne must be like, and you know I hate lasers and the way you like lasers." That was sarcasm, Lash, you may have heard of it.

[thewunderkind]

"What is sarcasm."

She just laughed. "Aww come on, I was just joking! ...well I would install a laser on top of it but, uh, you know." She touched her lips with her index finger pretending to be thinking about it. To be fair, she never had had a special seat before so it did sound like a pretty sweet deal.

"In that case...okay." As proof of this, her own chair shifted so that it had bizarre cross between a bird and a dog statue on the top, the mouth opened revealing the iron fangs. Threateningly, the eyes glowed red before it fired a beam at one of the Prinnies working the mast, causing it to explode.

"Well?" she told the others, smiling. "Get to work! Go blow up the other ship! Throw yours at it if you have too!"

Lash that other ship technically was yours--eh who cared.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Naw, they pretty much abandoned ownership. Now they had a ship and some unfortunate Prinnies had a... well, pretty soon it was going to be a new undersea home for a kraken.
