SJ knew when to cut their losses. She downloaded as much from the ISS Elysium's computers as she could into portable drives and then beamed them to their personal shuttle in the shuttle bay. She found that any information on the QSD was corrupted, most likely by whatever virus was keeping ALICE busy.

Pissed at that as she was, she did not let it bother her. She calmly beamed Scott and her own possessions into the shuttle and then examined the slaves they had accumulated over the years of pretending to serve Captain Taylor.

She looked at Scott. "I think we will just take Neri and Giselle with us." she said with a smile. "Giselle will be of use in the slave pens back home, and Neri is the most loyal of slaves."

"Agreed." Scott replied angrily. All their plans shot to hell. Well they were alive and they had Neri and Giselle the former yeoman of Captain Lalor so that counted for something. "We'll regroup, make better plans and come back stronger than ever."

"And with Taylor most likely going to die, it will be easier to spin it our way My love." SJ said as she calmly leashed Giselle and Neri. The other slaves she dismissed into the ship with orders to lay down their lives for the empire.

"Absolutely darling. We can come out of this smelling like roses and maybe even advance higher in the food chain." He watched as Sapphire leashed Neri and Giselle. They were already bound but one took no chances.

"That is indeed the plan. There is a new ship about to be launched. Mother has been keeping an eye on it. I think you would look smashing in captain's pips." SJ checked the status of their belongings and smiled as it was completed. "Ah well, that bed will just have to stay on the USS."

"Damn , Now that is a shame. I enjoyed that bed.... a lot." He chuckled as Sapphire mentioned him in Captain pips. "Only if you are my XO Sapphire. Think what we can do with us in command of a starship!"

"Hmm Commander Morgan, I like the sound of that, for now." She picked up a PADD. She waved it at him. "Our report on Taylor and his... stupidity. Shall we go my love?"

"It suits you Sapphire. Hold on to the PaDD. so we can show the Emperor just how stupid his fair haired boy Taylor really was." Scott answered as he fired up the engines. "Strap in, We're going to blow this joint."

SJ locked their slaves in their cabins and then joined him in the cockpit.

"I can honestly say I'm not going to miss this ship. Not in the slightest." Scott said . "Lets get out of here."

The shuttle left the shuttlebay, and went to warp swiftly.
