The pounding on the door grew more thunderous by the second.

"Tobias wake the hell up!"

But it did little to stir the naked and unconscious captain, or his 4 equally naked Asari friends.  That was, until the sound of a gunshot **** through the air.  Max stormed past the door he has just blown a hole through as Tobias jumped up to his feet.

"What was that for!?"  Tobias shouted as Max threw the captain's pants in his face.

"Any idea what time it is.....Captain?"  Max said with a judgmental look.

"Wait? what?  It's...."  Tobias trailed off as he looked at the clock on the wall.  They had only an hour to make it to the checkpoint where they were to ambush a Salarian cargo ship full of experimental weapons.

"****!" 

""But Captain, where are you going?"  One of the Asari stirred.

"Um...Captainy things to do, gotta run!"

Almost exactly an hour later Tobias and Max were standing on the bridge of their frigate, The Cassandra, in the exact spot they were supposed to be.  Now all that was left was to hope their intel was accurate.  They paid enough for it anyway.

"See, made it just in time!"  Tobias said with a grin.

"Barely..."  Max replied unimpressed.

At that instant the Salarian cargo ship dropped out of FTL....accompanied by 5 rather heavily armed looking frigates.  By the markings on their hulls they seemed to be under the control of the Blue Suns.

"All hands to battle stations now!"  Tobias shouted.

"They were supposed to be alone!"  Max then thought for a moment.  No...he couldn't have..."Tobias...what did you do last night?"

LAST NIGHT

Tobias was two bottles into his gut rot alcohol, slumped atop a bar stool with his arm around a rather stern looking Salarian.

"W..wh...wait...You're the captain uh the Solena?"  Tobias belched out between gulps from his bottle.  "What a coincidence!  I'm supposed to be stealing your ship tomorrow!"

"You don't say."

RIGHT NOW

"YOU DID WHAT!?"

"Um, we can argue later.  Full reverse!  Spool up the FTL and get us the hell out of here!"
