Rad, they don't have to be Conq-words. They can be other things. Maybe I'll write a story with somebody else as the main character, or maybe one about Tiger Interesting.
But now, for the part.

Copper scowled at the comm. Claw thought that if she did it any longer the commlink would burst into flames.
Kaz was, for once, quiet. Radium watched Copper, and Claw watched them both.
The Conquistar was moving slowly. It wasn't picking up speed, but it wasn't stopping either. Evaluator's voice came over the comm.
"Sabatoge can be good. She's got a hyperdrive leak. She's not going anywhere."
"How long have we got?"
"Three or four hours."
"That's good."
"I have to go before they catch me."
"Best of luck, Eval. Now," and she turned to Radium. "Who is N0?"
"His actual name is Nobody, seriously. He's an odd creature I met on Firen."
"So why is he with this Tiger now?"
"His story is that he found Tiger healing and very much alive. So far he hasn't used his gift once, and has only spoken of the Kiyrenin in terms of his enslavement."
"And you believe him?"
"I found nothing untrustworthy in him."
"And what's Tiger's story?"
"That he came to his senses and fought off the brainwashing when he nearly died. It is plausible, and in all the years I knew Tiger, he never lied when he could help it."
"That doesn't mean he isn't lying now."
"No, but why would he? If he was Kiyrenin, he could go to either capital ship right now, but he hasn't, and N0 won't let him if he does."
"Well, I have to take your word for it. Now, who's going to help me get Eval?"
"You didn't seriously think I was going to stay behind," Claw said. She grinned and shook her head.
"Of course not."
"Well, I been cooped up too long," Defalcon said. "So I definitely am coming."
"I'll come," Acid said. "That leaves Electrik, Rad, Kaz, KRSplat and Crystal to stay on the Assassin."
"All right. What do we take to bring Eval back?"
"This," Claw said, holding up his wrist with the computer on it.
"I'd forgotten about that. Kaz, still got SAM?"
"No," Kaz said, pulling a sad face. "Kovu toasted her accidentally."
"Pity. Well, it'll have to do. Once you drop us off, back off, out of range. The Crusader alias should protect you unless they do a visual scan. When we signal, Shonar will come to pick us up, and we're getting the heck out of there."
"Sounds like a plan."
KRSplat took the controls from Copper. Veering away from Sarida, he throttled up and headed for Sardiff, sheering to the left every now and then.
In a few minutes they drew up by the Conquistar, which like most Reminol-class ships had open bays that were protected by magcon shields. KRSplat veered dangerously close, puncturing the shield and opening the airlock long enough for Copper and her rescue team to leap out. His comm crackled.
"Crusader, power down all weapons and back off, then state your intentions."
"Acknowledged, Conquistar. Weapons powered down. Withdrawing." As he pulled away he sent the Assassin sharply to the left again before pulling her back under control.
"Crusader, what are you DOING?" The demand was frantic.
"Apologies, Conquistar. My ship has developed steering problems. I'm bound for Sardiff for repairs," KRSplat lied smoothly.
"Wouldn't Sarida have done just as well?" The operator's tone was aggrieved.
"Affirmative, Conquistar, but the problem is severe and I'm not sure I can control it to reach Sarida."
"All right, then, Crusader, continue on your way."
"My thanks and apologies again, Conquistar." He headed for Sardiff, still faking steering problems. He never saw Tiger pull into the same bay he had swiped.

Copper sighed. "Eval, I hope you can hear me."
"Don't worry. I can."
"Good. Attach yourself to Claw's computer and let's get outta here."
"Awesome. Let's go."
Defalcon found his commlink and turned it to the prearranged channel.
"Fire Chaser, cargo ready for pickup."
"Roger, Rescue. On my way."
They headed back to the hangar.

Tiger knew the Conquistar like the back of his hand. He found the armory with no problem, and with it his sword.
Discarding the heavy broadsword, he replaced it with his own.
"That is a nice sword," N0 said appreciatively. Tiger nodded.
"We've got to get back to the Timelost. Now." He led the way throught the maze of corridors, N0 faithfully following.
"Good thing we decided to head for Sarida," N0 said with a grin. Tiger snorted.
"Yeah."
They rounded a bend to find a patrol between them and the hangar. Tiger pulled his sniper rifle (which he had also re-appropriated) off his back and checked the charge. It was full.
"N0, if Coppertop comes back she'll run right into them."
"I know. In fact, here she comes right now."
Sure enough, Copper and her small rescue team came into sight right then. The patrol saw them, and drew their weapons.

Copper drew Shale easily. There were roughly seven of the patrol, which was better than ten but worse than none.
"Claw, Acid doesn't have any close-range weapons."
"No."
"Get him up here. They're a perfect rocket target at the moment."
"Gotcha."
Acid came up beside her with a grin. "This is what I had in mind on Udari."
"Well, here's your chance."
Acid braced himself and fired. The rockets slammed into the patrol, knocking two out of action.
That left five, and there were four of Copper's friends. Much better odds.
Copper found two charging at her, one a large schwartzenguard, the other a dog from Deseka. The shwartzenguard was long on strength and short on brains, while the dog was small and clever. She feinted at the shwartzenguard and he ducked; at least he had some sense.
Not enough, evidently; she feinted again and came up with a double-handed slash, which, if it didn't kill him, certainly put him out of action.
The Desekan took advantage of her distraction to try and score on her. She ducked past his attack, but he blocked her and forced her to backpedal.
The whine and flash of laserfire made her duck automatically. The dog stiffened and then keeled over, giving her a glimpse of Tiger, who was rising to his feet, sniper rifle slung over his shoulder. He flashed her a grin before turning away to his ship, N0 trailing behind.
She turned to her companions who had already finished their fights.
"Defalcon, tell Shonar all clear."
He nodded and did so, and they waited.
A few seconds later the Lessaria came barrelling towards them from the other side of the moon. He stopped dead, airlock already cycling, and they got on board as fast as they could. Tiger's Timelost was already out of range. Shonar was on the comm.
"Fire Chaser, state your intentions!"
"Whoops, sorry, Conquistar. Wasn't watching. No hostilities intended!"
"And what problems do YOU have on your ship?"
"Huh? None. I just wasn't paying attention. Won't happen again."
"Hope not, Fire Chaser. Go on your way."
"Thanks, Conquistar."
Shonar glanced back. Copper gave him the thumbs up; he grinned and gunned the engine. The Lessaria shot forward, making Defalcon swear, Claw glower at Shonar, and Copper grin at all of them. Acid picked himself up with a groan.
"Give us a warning next time, man!"
"Not on your life," Shonar chortled. "It's way too much fun to watch you guys!"
- I'll bet, - Evaluator said. - Thanks for the help, guys. -
"You're welcome. Hey, how come you couldn't get off?"
"Yeah," Acid said. "How'd that happen?"
- Ehh ... I was a little less than careful. -
"What's THAT supposed to mean?"
- It means they had magical shields around their system. I got in, and couldn't get out again. -
"Figures," Copper said. "Eval, you underestimated the Kiyrenin."
- It won't happen again, I promise you that. -
"I'll hold you to that. Now, where are we going?"
- My little jaunt wasn't all in vain, you know. Shinyso's next stop is Diamondus. -
"Really," Copper said. "Isn't that interesting. So is ours."
"We gonna beat 'em to it?"
"You bet. I don't know about you, but I'd like to have the Ninja back again."
"Hear hear," Claw seconded. "Let's go."
"Right," Shonar said. He flipped the comm on. "Crusader, Timelost, this is Fire Chaser. Next stop, Diamondus."
"Fire Chaser, Crusader. Acknowledged."
"Fire Chaser, Timelost. We copy and are following orders."
"Right. What are we waiting for?"
