Option B taking the cargo hold, though option A and the bridge was a close second

The rabbit gulped as he realised in just an hour he was going to become a criminal, "err...the cargo hold, I guess."

Deju gave him a broad smile, "ah looking to do the looting eh? Very well, Qerry you have the bridge and Paul you can take the civilians, I imagine it'll be interesting for you to be on the other side of the guns this time." The fox gave them each a pat on the shoulder as he spoke, looking at them like a proud father looks at his sons as they graduate, into a life of crime. "Zack, report to Reggie, he's leading your team. Qerry report to Karlos and Paul report to Qieth... no don't complain I ain't sending you with your lover Paul, and Qerry I saw what you and your brother got up to earlier and I want everyone focused on the raid not each other's asses."

Paul closed his mouth and looked unhappy, Qerry looked uncomfortable and kept his gaze on the floor. The rabbit smiled at the chunky red bear, and as they all filed out he whispered, "I'll be thinking of your ass," into Qerry's ear. They didn't have time to talk as they both rushed to meet up with their team.

Zack found the hyena down in the armoury, "hey Reg, looks like I'm on your team." He said with a nervous smile as hundreds of snakes made a nest in his stomach, he couldn't help but glance at all the guns and wonder if he would have to use any of them.

The hyena gave him a nod and grabbed a small rifle, "ok, then I'll give you a quick session on how to use this, don't want you shooting yourself or anyone else in our team."

As the hyena gave the rabbit a crash course in small arms the Harrier entered silent running, the lights dimmed and she glided on momentum alone. Mike used only the slightest touches of thrust from the manoeuvring jets to keep on target. With the power output at minimum the fat transport ship was totally oblivious to their presence, and it would be until the Harrier struck like a shark, rising out of the black depths to take it's kill.

The rabbit sat in a small boarding pod along with Reggie and his team; a Naga hacker, called Byron, his blue scales changing colour as he moved, going through a rainbow of blue shades, Shep and Kaz, two German Sheppard morphs, twin brothers and like Reggie full combat grafted experienced pirates.

The plan was simple, well for Zack anyway, he was to follow behind them and if they encountered any crew do whatever Reggie said. Reggie had told him that he was to not shoot anyone unless he gave the order to fire, the hyena had also switched the rabbit's gun to stun. Their team was hitting the cargo hold, right next to the hull, shooting would be suicidal if he missed.

The hull was also where the battledroids would be stored, if an alarm was raised before Byron could hack the computer system then their team would have to face them with swords only. Of course Zack hadn't been given a sword, it was Reggie and the two dogs who would face combat first.

The blue naga could taste the rabbit's nervousness in the air, he leaned down and whispered, " 't ain't nothing to be nervous aboot, we done this a load of times. 't'll go smooth as silk man."

Zack nodded and tried not to notice his paws trembling on his gun, he glanced over to the hyena who gave him a nod of approval. The two dogs gave him a nod as well and then Shep said, "no fear sweet cheeks, we all know it's your first time. Nobody doesn't get scared when they lose their cherry. We'll go gentle on you."

The other twin dog put his paw around his brother's shoulders, "of course if afterwards you want to celebrate losing your cherry we are always up to help you lose another cherry, no promises on not going rough on you though."

"Keep it in your pants puppy," Reggie snorted with a wide grin and then he added. "Besides the bunny already scored the brother combo with Qieth and his panda brother, so you wouldn't be taking that cherry from him."

The rabbit flushed with embarrassment as he realised that his friend knew what had happened with the wolf and panda a few hours earlier.

Not to be outdone or miss and opportunity the naga leaned down again and whispered, "of course my bunk is always open, if you want to see how much fun a none bipedal body can be." Zack jumped as the naga's tailtip coiled around his wrist and squeezed.

"Ok, two minutes until the pod touches down, grab your gear and put your cocks back in your pants until we are back on the Harrier." Reggie half snarled, his patience wearing a little thin thanks to his aggression bleedthrough.

The naga laughed with a hiss and as he checked his weapon he replied, "I don't wear pants."

"Well just keep your cocks inside your genital pouch then," the hyena replied shortly and then as he sat down next to the rabbit he muttered, "I bet you never thought you'd be in a conversation where someone used that sentence now did you?"

The banter ended as a loud bleep gave the one minute cooldown, the small pod was approaching the transport. The cylindrical pod landed softly on the hull and a bright flare could be seen as the pods cutters sliced a doorway into the transport. At the same time two other pods we on approach, the cargo team had just five minutes to get the computers hacked. If they failed then when the others broke in the bridge crew could trigger the alarm and things could get very bad very fast.

The rabbit gripped his gun tightly, his stomach was still hosting the snake party as his nerves frayed. Then the end of the pod opened, the two dogs leapt out gun's ready. Reggie was a second behind them, he glanced back and gave a hand signal for all clear. Byron grabbed a small scrambler device and activated it to block any security cameras. The Harrier's captain had impeccable aim and had landed their pod perfectly on the cargo bay.

His heart jumping into his mouth, the rabbit jumped into the ship. As his paws touched down on the cold metal floor he knew he couldn't go back now, he was a pirate, a criminal for life. Somehow that revelation made it easier for him, his nerves eased a bit as the five man team made their way into the cargo bay. A room the size of a football field, filled with racks and racks of boxes stacked twice the height of the bunny.

"Nice, looks like we just hit a real fat cow," muttered Shep as the two dogs took point, guiding the naga and rabbit through the aisles of boxes looking for a computer access terminal.

The blue naga spotted it first, a small desk shaped console at the far wall, "there's one. I'll hack in." The others nodded and the two dogs took up stations either side of him.

Zack felt Reggie's paw on his shoulder, "grab that manifest over there, this is too much loot for the harrier, we need to figure out what the best cargo we can take is. In ten minutes the Harrier will dock and we will need to get this stuff out fast. Food and water is always good, but looks to me like we might have some equipment here that could be of use. Use that engineers graft of yours to figure out what is good, and give me a recommendation."

Zack glanced at the manifest, trying not to notice as the naga pulled back a scale on his arm and pulled out an access wire. He knew that as a hacker Qerry would have an access like that somewhere hidden on his body, watching the wire being pulled out sent a shiver down his spine. There was no more powerful computer than the brain and the access allowed hackers to use their mind directly to breech the best software firewalls that could be created.

The manifest gave a long list of foodstuffs and drinks, Reggie was right though and they was a long list of equipment being transported as well. Browsing through he selected a couple of items of terraforming equipment that would be worth a lot of money. There was also one item he could not identify, it was in a storage rack just a few aisles over. The rabbit wandered over to the rack to find the box with the right code on, reading the label did no good he reached out to the containers control to open it for a look, "what are you doing?!" Zack squeaked as he spun around gun in hand to find Reg behind him.

"Shit, you scared the crap out of me!" The rabbit whined as he lowered his gun, his heart practically beating so hard it felt like it was trying to hammer it's way out of his chest.

"Well that serves you right, you don't go anywhere alone even once the ship is secure, and just so you know the ship isn't secure until the Harrier docks." Snarled the hyena as he glared at the rabbit, "what are you doing over here?"

"This container, I don't know or understand what's in it...so I wanted to take a look," Zack replied, realised as he did so that his own curiosity was hardly a good reason to put his life, and the lives of his team at risk.

"Fucking hells bloody bells that is a stupid ass rookie move, you could have gotten yourself captured or worse, stay with the team until I give the all clear to move," growled the hyena pointing the rabbit back to the rest of the team. As Zack walked away, the hyena stepped up to the crate and opened it, inside lay a piece of equipment, about a meter long, that to him looked just like any other technological gadget.

The two joined the rest of the team just as they got confirmation that the bridge and passengers were secure, the harrier was two minutes away. Zack gave a quick rundown of the cargo, pointing out the best foods and the source of fresh water to the others of the team. They began to move the cargo, picking up the terraforming equipment and moving it to the airlock . A few minutes later the airlock opened and several of their shipmates joined them.

Moving quickly and efficiently the pirates raided the cargo hold, taking the most valuable cargo first, and then debating what else they should take when it became obvious the Harrier's hold was nearing capacity. It was then that Zack remembered the container, he returned to it and found it open. One glance at the item and he knew it was something different, a piece of terraforming tech, of that much he was certain. However, he also knew it was just a smaller component of a much larger machine.

Without the rest of the machine it was probably not worth much, however the engineer in him kept nagging him to take it until he finally just grabbed the item and shoved it in his backpack. It was curiously light considering it's size, however he wanted to find out what it was, besides with Reese's droid parts all over and Kelo being an engineer he knew he would be free to figure it out at his leisure.

Before he even realised it the raid was over, the rabbit was back on the Harrier and there had been no casualties, a perfect raid. The rabbit tried to find Qerry, but was told that Deju had asked him to decode some files Byron found in the transport ships database. The two Sheppard twins gave him a pat on the back for a job well done and restated their offer of a celebration in their room. Bryon gave him a similar offer and he knew that Kelo and Reese would want to give him a warm welcome too.

Ok so your choices this week are,

Option A go back to his bunk and share some time with his pony and raccoon bunkmates

Option B take the two German Sheppard brothers up on their offer and enjoy some canine time

Option C Go with Byron and find out how much fun a naga can be
