Geez. It's like me trying to get into a new box of parts. Or Vixy's pants," quipped Jinny, looking to the group again.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Suddenly, from down the hall the group hears a loud, angry growl. Or perhaps it's down the hall. It's hard to tell, as the air vents that carry air around large ships can sometimes carry sounds and make it hard to judge where they're coming from. Either way, the ladies are not alone. Whomever or whatever killed the crew is still on the ship. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>For several moments, Vix just smiled, trying to think of some funny but sexy comeback to which she could reply.  Nothing really awesome came up, but a smile couldn't help but blossom on her face.<br/><br/>That smile faded just as quickly, however, at the sudden noise.  Her sledge came rapidly up into her grip as she stepped back, moving to a corner so that she could smack at anything that came charging while maintaining some degree of cover.
