I'm sorry, had too much homework, and then someone else was on. BUT there's some for today. Howzat?
How about "conqing you all over the heads?" That'd work.
Actually, 'm not sure. Maybe the Conquistadors thing.

Kaz joined the stream of skimmers, speeders, starfighters and other vehicles. It was nice to be flying again, even with the polluted, artificial air. It would be really nice to fly the Eclipse again, even if it wouldn't be like that battle at Keenrei. Now, that had been fun.
Dangerous, but fun. This time would be precision flying, not combat.
He dropped his wings and dove, pulling out just above the top of the building. The Phantom Eclipse sat there, viewports dark.
Oh, joy! Evaluator didn't seem to be there. Even if he was Kaz could have bullied him into letting the bird pilot. Evaluator was that kind of guy.
The ramp extended when he entered the passcode. Being in the ship alone was eerie, and he felt nervous.
Evaluator materialized behind him when he had reached the cockpit. Kaz jumped, startled, and felt unnecessarily guilty.
"What are you doing here without Coppertop?" Evaluator demanded crossly. Kaz explained.
"They're in trouble. She sent me to tell you."
"What does she want?"
"Us to pick her up. C'mon!"

Like a wraith the Eclipse glided just above the buildings, silent except for the low throb of repulsorlifts. Even in the dingy half-light that filtered through the artificial atmosphere of Shilarloh, very little was actually illuminated. The canyon-like alleys that plunged to (deliberately) unexplored depths were shrouded in unrelieved darkness. Kaz had no idea how they were going to find his friends.
Well, not quite unrelieved darkness. A flowing shaft of light signalled from below. The urge to tug on Evaluator's sleeve was impossible to fulfill - Evaluator didn't have sleeves.
- I see it. -
"Land, land! That's Copper!" he realized, recognizing the light as her blade Shale.
- I know that. Press that blue button. -
"This one?"
- Yes. Now pull that lever down SLOWLY. Good. -
The Eclipse settled down smoothly. Extinguishing her blade lest she attract undue attention, Copper followed Claw on board, limping only slightly.
"Good job, Kaz, Eval. Let's go find the others."
The Eclipse rose up again, turning to glide towards the left. After about a minute of slow flying, she spun the ship around to face a tall building and set down on top of it.
Defalcon and KRSplat were there. Evidently the Kiyrenin had caught up to them, because both of them held a blazing sword. KRSplat waved and started over.
Defalcon still dealt with two Kiyrenin. He had disarmed one, the broken blade lying on the permacrete bearing testament to this. The other was still armed with a blaster.
The disarmed one saw the Eclipse and began to back away. KRSplat used his blaster to great effect, and then Defalcon faced the last one. He turned and gestured acknowledgement to the ship, before taking a quick step back and slamming the hilt of his sword into the Kiyrenin's stomach. The startled Kiyrenin turned away, dropping his blaster and doubling over the low guardrail, gasping, and Defalcon assisted him the rest of the way with an ever-helpful boot.
Then he turned, caught the sword KRSplat tossed him, sheathed them both and ran nimbly up the ramp, KRSplat on his tail.
They turned to find Acid and Radium.


They cut my time back to half an hour, so I have to make a choice between Internet or typing. Next time I can get on, hopefully I'll have some more.
