The Watermelon seed made a satisfying noise as it hit the can from 2 meters out.

Another one in.

Walt was sitting in a chair propped against the dorsal stabilizer of the Warden. The ship looming large behind him. Every so often a gravitational generator would slip and the massive hulk of a ship would move ever so slightly, knocking him off balance and almost dropping him to the ground.

He was excited that some of the gang was getting back together. It had been far to long and he was itching to get back into space. The adventures, camaraderie, the money, and most importantly a second or maybe even third chance.

All of this was delayed however when an audible whine came from the bulkhead he was leaning against and the whole ship shifted a half a meter aft, sending Walt, his chair, and a giant piece of watermelon sprawling to the deck.

As Jones laid, staring up as his ship, cursing the day it was built his communicator beeped.

"This is Jones, what is it?"

"Captain this is Bajor control we've detected unauthorized movement from your vessel, do you require assistance?"

Walt sat himself up and rubbed his head. "No I'm good, I've got an engineer on the way soon. We'll be out of your little slice of heaven before you know it." He clicked off the comm halfway through the dock operator scolding him and referring to unnamed consequences.

"Damn we need to get out of here." Walt picked himself and the shattered remains of his chair off the deck and turned around to look at the Warden.

"Just wait, I'll get you back for that one."
