Longshot/Entropy’s Edge - Monday
Oct. 25th, 2021 09:10 pmGoose’s apartment had mostly survived the cooking lesson, well a couple of the walls were a bit singed but compared to recent efforts that was relatively good progress for him.
The next day Doc had gone to Longshot to work with the recently found Queen’s Memory Bird, named Bubblehead and Zack and Goose had told him they’d meet up with him later.
They approached the Data Library and passed two staff removing a trolley from the room.
“Watch it,” Zack barked as they nearly bumped into them. They didn’t respond and hurried along.
“Everybody’s in a hurry today,” Goose remarked, staring after the staff as they walked into the library.
“Zack!” Goose pointed at Doc who was slumped over by the console.
“Doc are you alright?” Zack asked as they ran over to him.
Doc groaned and they ran over to check, “yeah I think so,” he said, rubbing his neck, “somebody zapped me,”
“What happened here?” Zack wanted to know.
“The memory bird,” Doc looked around the room, “it’s gone!” he turned back to the console and began typing, bringing up the information he was looking for, “a file has been accessed,” he informed them.
“Doc,” Goose said as he read the number of the file, “what’s in file 18?” he had a sinking feeling in his stomach.
“The Supertrooper Juice formula!” Doc exclaimed in horror.
“The formula has been loaded into the bird,” Zack stated.
“Bubblehead?” Doc glanced at Zack, “he has trouble remembering two plus two,” he pointed out.
“We can’t take any chances,” Goose declared, he knew what would happen if that formula got into the wrong hands.
“I’ll alert security,” Zack nodded.
“I’m on it,” Goose told him and pressed a button that would allow him to contact security.

They were soon catching up to Kidd, “Doc tell them,” Niko was heard saying.
“What Moxie and Miller got was one of the early experimental formulas,” Doc told them.
“But even those early formulas were potent,” Zack pointed out.
“Bubblehead won’t be able to handle it,” Doc replied, “half his circuitry was filled with plumping information,”
“There has been a breach in security, nevertheless” Zack frowned.
“Cut the chatter,” Goose commanded, “warping out,” the ships dropped out of warp. “Kidd’s changing course,” he stated.
“Trouble,” Zack grunted, which was a bit of an understatement.
“Slaver transports,” Goose realised what they were.
“Pull out,” Zack ordered and Goose did as instructed, pulling back so they weren’t near those ships. They waited nearby to see what would happen.
“You think the queen will reward Kidd for bringing her bird home Goose?” Zack wondered.
“I don’t know about a reward,” Goose said, “but I’m sure he’ll get what he deserves,”
