Mason replies to Laura, "Yeah, probably. Are you Laura? You seem to match the description that Mike gave. Nice to finally meet you."

Mike says "Well, the next order of business would be to try to regain control over the station." He stops for a moment as he gets an idea. "And we are currently standing inside of a functional capital ship that if captured would likely be enough to shift the balance of power in favor of the Solar Alliance, and most of it's crew is on the station. I also happen to be qualified to pilot capital ships, Mason is a pretty darn good captain, and I'm sure we could find something for the rest of you to do."

"Wait, so this is a ship... inside of a ship?" Laura looked really confused. "And what's a capital ship?"

(OOC: Mikeman, a couple of us used moves and I have no idea if they worked. Guinan tried to use sweet kiss on a soldier, and then, Jian I think?, tried a major move to teleport all the soldiers to the far end of the station. What effects, if any, did these have?)
Guinan had been watching the spectacle in surprise. As things calmed down, she said to Laura, "This is a carrier, docked at the space station. Space stations are meant to have ships docked."

"I guess that makes sense..." Laura trailed off.

Meanwhile, still dazed by the blow from the hammer, Calem realized Gumball was clawing at a ghost. Probably his psycic powers... But why is she trying to attack her just now?

~~Meanwhile, in a mysterious dimension~~
As soon as Kiki was out, they whipped out a cell phone and pressed it to their ear.
"Marcus?" they said worriedly. "Why are you calling me at this hour?"
They were standing in a purple cave filled with torches. The flames danced around, filling the room with a somewhat menacing but interesting air.

The other voice rumbled something which caused Kiki to raise an eyebrow. "Urgent?" They narrowed their eyes. "Is it so urgent that you had to call me in the middle of a mission?!"

The other voice explained something in a serious tone.
"Oh." Kiki said. Their expression became suddenly serious, as their features gave way to concerned realization. "...Ohh. Them dudes."

"Is everyone okay down there? H-have you got any word from that chick--" The other voice corrected them. "Oh, sorry. Emma."

The other voice suddenly said something very loudly and quickly, as if he were in a panic and trying to get to the point. The sweat stood out on Kiki's brow as they listened to the other voice on the phone.
"Wait, what...?" they squeaked.

The other voice said something, his breath panicking.
A shadow crossed Kiki's features. "Ohh, don't tell me Team Magma is back."

They'd only been to the Pokemon world for a day, and even then it had been ten years since then...
but still, they'd heard the stories. And they didn't want that to happen again.

Kiki suddenly paled. "W-wait, don't tell me..! Team Eon? Is that what it's about?"
The person on the other end rumbled his affirmation.
"Ohhh f**k, I'll be down there right away." Kiki panicked. Both persons uttered their goodbyes and hung up.

As soon as the phone call was over, the phone cluttered to the ground. "Augh!! I just wanted to finish this space shenanigans, take Gristle home, and be done." they whined.
They stared begrudgingly at the phone.
"Why do you always have to drag me into your business." they pouted.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Emma recieved a clip on her Holo Caster.

"Hello, Emma, it's me."
A small blue projection of a generic face appeared, though to Emma's ears the voice was old and very familiar.

"E-er... forgive my abruptness, I realize it has been... some time since our last meeting, however... there is something rather urgent I must discuss with you."
The voice crackled slightly. "A-again, forgive my abruptness. Please meet me at the former Looker Bureau as soon as possible.

The blue projection faded, and Emma stared at it for a while. Then, she closed the device and stowed it in her pocket.

Mimi looked up at her and mewed.

The two soldiers find themselves on Nexus station very far from the carrier that they were on, the FSS Damocles. Commander Nord is stunned by the crazy stuff going on and he just stares at everyone on confusion. Mason points at Nord and says "What should we do with him? If we want to take control of this ship then we will need to know some passcodes that he would know as the captain of this ship. I vote we use this nifty interrogation machine right here." Mike responds "Well, that would save a lot of hacking and I guess it's our best option as long as anyone else doesn't have anything better." He turns to the odd bunch that followed him here, "None of you happen to know how to read minds, right?" he asks as Mason takes some handcuffs on the wall and puts them on Commander Nord.

Guinan called her Pichu back and asked her to repeat the sweet kiss on the man as Mason was in the process of handcuffing him. She hoped that would prevent him from trying hand-to-hand against Mason.

(*squeals* I hate to say how exited I am for Team Eon, being the bad guys and all, but I really am exited to get back to the Pokemon world!( ◠‿◠ ) )

"Is there anything me and Calem can do to help?" Laura asked, glancing over at Calem, who was still trying to keep Gumball from attacking Ia.

Mike replies "I'm sure you could figure out how to do something useful on the bridge. Operating a ship is easy, what's hard is doing it well."

Mike discretely sends a message to Sam "I need you to bluff and say that we have the self-destruct code, I have an idea." Sam says "The USS Hercules has just successfully hacked the fusion reactor self-destruct protocol initiation code for this ship, I don't know how useful that will be and to use it we need to be on the bridge but I'll leave that up to you." Mason gets an idea, "Given the choice I would rather have this station destroyed then let it fall in the hands of the Heiwa Federation. Commander Nord, you have two options: either go down with your ship or tell the AI to turn over command to me. Either way you loose the battle, but one of these options involves you getting out of here alive. I guess we could also try this here interrogation machine on you, I would probably have a lot of fun with that." he says, not pointing out how Ia had shorted it out. Mike says "Good idea." as he grabs a syringe of the silvery neural interface fluid. Commander Nord begins looking very nervous as Mason leads him over towards the machine until finally he says "OK, you win. Damocles, turn over command to Mason Williams." The AI responds "Yes sir, Mason Williams is now the acting captain."

Mason smiles and escorts Nord to the nearest escape pod and right before it's activated Mason says "By the way, it was all a bluff and you totally fell for it." right before jettisoning it, sending Nord in a course to Ganymede. "Well, he shouldn't bother anyone for a while." he says returning to the group. "By the way Damocles, put the ship on red alert." Red lights turn on in the halls, an alarm sounds, and everyone on the ship rushes to their quarters thinking that it's an actual emergency. Mason begins walking in the direction of the bridge and says "The bridge is this way, we are about to try to fly this oversized bucket of bolts." Mike follows, clearly rather excited to try to fly a carrier class ship.

When Commander Nord is sent on his way, the biggest grin spread across her face. "Yay! They lost! They lost!" She cheered, jumping up and down. "What's going on?" Calem asked, walking up to them holding Gumball, who had seemed to settle down, but only slightly.

When the station goes into warning mode, Laura looks really confused. "I thought that we won? What happened?" Riku, rerembering that the whole Mega Evolving thing was just a scare tactic, reverted back to his normal form, Gabe doing the same. Even if they did need to fight, he was still plenty strong enough in his normal form.

Mike replies, "Well, the alarm is there to scare anyone else on the ship. Red alert usually means that there is a significant chance of sections of the ship loosing pressure. That's not really the case, but they don't know that."

"Ohh, I get it! You were wanting to get all the soldiers in one place so they would be easier to get rid of, right?" Laura asked.

Mason replies "Get rid of them? I was thinking of just keeping them in their quarters so they don't bother us." He thinks for a moment and says "That's not a bad idea though. Damocles, activate the emergency evacuation protocol." The alarm changes and the ship AI's voice is heard through the entire ship saying "The captain has ordered an emergency evacuation, please proceed in an orderly fashion to the nearest escape pods." The escape pods begin shooting off with the crew of the Damocles.

Mike says "In theory a ship like this can be operated in a very limited capacity with as few as 6 or so crew members on the bridge, at least that's how it works on Solar Alliance carriers. I am qualified to fly Solar Alliance capital ships but a Heiwa Federation one will be an interesting challenge."

[ooc]
I'm thinking that you could all pick some task to do on the bridge and have them try to do it with limited success, the user interfaces would be rather intuitive and not too hard to figure out. The various jobs on the bridge would include stuff like managing the weapons, monitoring and containing damage, collecting data about the weapons and damage of enemy ships, monitoring and sending communications, commanding missiles and drones, and stuff like that. Feel free to make up a job yourself. I think it could be a rather funny and interesting part of the story, all of us trying to pilot a capital ship when nobody knows what they are doing.

Consider this the climax of my segment of the story, soon I will make sure we get back to the Pokemon world one way or another and I will let other people direct the story.
[/ooc]

"I geuss Cal and I can take up the communications." Laura said. She ran out to the bridge, Calem in tow, trying to look for the computer that manages that kind of thing.

The bridge was a fairly large mostly circular room except for the large slanted and only slightly curved window on the front, but it was covered by large steel blast shields to prevent the glass from being broken in combat. The center of the room had a large hologram projector in front of the captain's chair where there is a holographic representation of the ships outside. In a circle around the hologram station were the various control panels with signs above them saying their function. The room was mostly white and grey and the lights had a slight blueness.

Mason stands next to the large hologram while Mike goes to the helm and looks it over trying to figure out what's what.

Meanwhile Lilli stood around excitedly, looking around like they'd just been sucked inside their favorite Star Wars film.

"WHOA! THIS IS SO COOOOL!" they swooned, looking around.
There were all sorts of lighty-things and boopy-things, and they had absolutely no idea what they did, but that made them all the more fascinatiing!!

They looked at Mike obliviously.
"What's a bridge?"
