"Yeah." He nodded at her words "Yeah, you know me. I just hate that it wasn't my idea. Full speed ahead!" He grinned as he turned and yelled out "Hoist the Mainsails Kat! Hemlock? Any way to get us some more power?"
Punching Dante in the armor of his chestplate he said "Dude, never really thought you'd be dying today huh? But I like how you think brother." Looking around he tried to see the look on Allure's face and craning his neck he looked for Fleet. "Anybody not want to do this? Too bad!" Chase chuckled as the idea of taking out all of the Aliens was sort of awe inspiring.
He was not surprised that the Paragons would want to spit in the face of death, real piratey actually- Damn the Code and all that, but the thing was that the Acolyte was in for it too "Heh- peer pressure." he said under his breath and nodded at Frostbite. As Tempest called out her warning that they would not have much more time anyway, Chase grabbed Sky around her waste and said "You wore the Milky-Way flavor lip stuff, I love the Milky-Way flavor. yeah, and it's a galaxy far..far..away. HA!" he kissed her back.

"Oh we're going to die either way! Lets die with pride! Oh christ! Veronika! Where are you!?" Kris searched around for his girl and as soon he saw her beautiful red hair, he practically skipped to her. "Veronika darling! We're dying! and we didn't even get a chance to do our dance!" he sighed, for one there was no nature around them so his spirits were feeling down as it is, and now they were dying, and well, there was no other option to it. They could either commit group-suicide, or have some cockroaches kill them.
"Oh, why couldn't it be some pretty boys out there instead of those cockroaches?! I wouldn't mind dying at their hands, at least I'd have a pretty face to look at! Mmm, maybe I'd let him have his way with me- you never know how some of those men are!" Kris sighed, truly disappointed. Oh, this is sad. But at least I have Veronika... and mmm... Chase is still here. Oh my he's kissing Skylar! He's sure a sight to look at, but oh... hmm.. well, his face is pretty enough to stare at... oh, how I wish that Kevin was here... I swear i'd kiss him!
Kris sighed yet again, before he put an arm around Veronika. "Oh, I still can't believe how those cockroaches can exist!" he said shaking his head, "They're truly hideous! Don't you think?" he burried his head into Veronika's shoulder.

Kat had slowly turned around, her eyes on the wider, wilder side as she heard the conversation passing by her ears. "Aye..." she said, her voice trailing as she realized that had to be their only way out. An escape pod was a nice little luxury, but it wasn't a surefire thing to get them out of there, and would cause only more trouble if it didn't work like they hoped. She looked down for a moment, as if she didn't want to say it loud enough for everyone here, but she had to. It was a rather funny thing as she thought about it briefly, taking the role of captain of a ship and getting into so bad a situation that the best option was simply to go down with the ship.
Like the rest, Kat knew she could die in so much better a way than by the disgusting sounding Brood, and would rather crash the ship than have that fate. Sky had the same idea as her, and she was glad to hear just about the rest of them as a consensus agreed as well. The idea of actually having to go down gave her that ironic sinking feeling, and she wasn't totally ready to die yet, cause let's face it she's young and amazing, but it seemed worth it to do it. "A good captain goes down with her ship," she murmured to herself as the rest of the team gave their opinions. There was a mixed expression on her face as she turned back to her post, one hand on the ship's steering wheel as her other hand lightly glided just over the messed up control panels around her, looking for a self-destruct button she could use right at the time of impact.
She secretly wasn't completely sure she could do it, seeing as she never actually had to do something like this, ever, but at least hearing that she was trusted enough to do it right did make her normally high confidence get back up there. She hadn't really had to be a captain of a ship in all respects, but now she saw how hard and almost how easy it could be when she thought of all the pirates she knew about had done it.
After everyone had given their final words, she turned to give them all a last confident, Kat-like smirk and focused on the wheel again. As she turned the wheel, there was a sound all around that seemed like the ship was breaking apart. Hoping that it would make it to be able crash into the Acanti and take it down with them. Her determined stare never faltered from her target as she completed the turn towards it. One hand crept towards the self-destruct button and hovered over it as the broken ship got closer and closer.
"Now, bring me that horizon," she said, with a confident look about her as just when the ship was going to make impact with the Acanti, she pressed down on the button.

~~~~Epilogue~~~~ As the explosion lit, everything became golden white and then instantly went to black. The young team of rugged individuals, some more rugged than others, found themselves standing in the same positions. The Broken~Dagger having run it's course. With a ~BaMF~ Kurt joined his team on the floor of the Danger Room, having hit the release button for the main doorway before he teleported. His arrival among them was timed with the main door opening up. "Vell done children!" Kurt was clapping for them as he spoke. "Zhat vas a most difficult experience for each of you und I am very proud of you all. Chase, Dante... I vill need you to help your team mates across to zhe Med-Lab please." He watched as they all took their time to reaquaint themselves with reality as they unreality of The Dagger's bridge was now only a memory. "I vould have you all know zhat vas how it vas resolved in space some tventy years or so ago. Of course for different reasons, but as zhe Shi'Ar history disks retell it, zhe prisoners of Zhe Dagger did stop zhe Brood from conquering zheir Empire und received zhe highest honors of zhe Aerie, posthumously of course. Zhey made the ultimate sacrifice of their lives, and in so doing zheir lives came to have a higher meaning. Zhis is vhat it is to be a hero, und alzhough you each may not have been thinking of zhe greater good at least you chose to make zhe most of a no-vin situation." "Now, having been put to zhe test I vill expect a little bit more of you all. You are a team, like it or not, und you should be proud of yourselves. Hold your heads a little higher. Oh, und zhere is an un-written rule of zhis scenario...Ve do not speak often of 'Zhe Dagger', if at all- it holds a special meaning, und in each of your minds und your hearts you know if you would deserve zhe same honors as zhose prisoners who saved an Empire." He looked at their tired and battered faces, and he smiled. "Now lets get zhose of you zhat need it some of zhe good Doctor's medicine und turn you loose on your veekend, Ja?"
