Ruby the Space Pirate

Main Character by Code Green

	The Galactic Museum: hailed as the most expensive and secure museum in all of Saturn, it holds the most precious treasures from many alien planets. In it, visitors can learn about the most expensive or rarest of minerals and elements, showing their historical significance and their modern use of today. Over a hundred security bots guard the area, hovering in their own predetermined path to the micrometer. Both of their flexible arms are armed with laser cannons that can be set from stun to kill. The blue sirens at the top of their heads alert all personnel of illegal activity in the building.
	This night, those sirens blaze all over the museum, all the lights turning on to reveal a space pirate holding the most expensive jewel in the museum: the White Swan. It is known as the brightest white diamond in the universe and only one of its kind exists. The space pirate holds it in her right hand as her other hand wields a ray gun. She flees from the security robots, ducking from the stun lasers easily as she shoots a security robot in the chest. It crashes on the ground, the siren sound it emits slowly distorting until it deactivates.
	The two robots still in pursuit analyze the thief. She has long black hair, blue eyes and a white complexion. She wears a scanner over her left eye, which is currently relaying information on the security levels of the building. She has a black choker with a purple buckle wrapped around her neck. She wears a black, tight suit that covers her hands, arms, torso, and hips. She has two shoulder pads and one circle on her chest, both purple. A piece of purple cloth is wrapped around her waist, the two ends of it flying from behind her as she sprints. She wears black high heel boots that go up to her thighs with purple at the end of her boots. The purple ends have two purple pockets placed outward of her thighs.
	The robots recognize her as the infamous space pirate Ruby. Although new to the top ten most wanted in the Milky Way galaxy, currently at the seventh slot, she made herself famous by robbing several cruise and transport ships as well as battling other pirates for their loot. She managed to get away with it all, avoiding arrest since her first crime. Nobody knows what made her take up piracy, but they do know she's damn good at it.
	A year after making the list, her heist of the White Swan takes place as she was hired to steal it for a wealthy businessman. She couldn’t turn down the large reward she’ll receive! Besides, she always finds taking down large security systems a worthy challenge, though these security bots are as easy as a game a tag.
	As she turns around a corner from the pursuing robots, she sees that her back is pressed against a janitor’s closet. She immediately enters, managing to lose security. As she places the jewel in her left boot pocket, she thinks quickly about the situation, knowing that the robots will soon do a full scan of the area in less than a minute. Suddenly, inspiration strikes her! She reaches for the side of her scanner and pursues her list of programs.
	As the robots begin to search the area, turning on their infrared vision, something comes out of the janitor’s closet. One of the robots turns around and then turns off his infrared vision, getting a better look. It was just a helpless janitor bot, hovering about as her two brushes suck up the debris left on the floor. Her two metal tentacles whoosh out of her back, the left one functioning as a vacuum while the right one feather dusts the hall. The bot examines her and she seems to be legitimate. They resume their search down the hall.
	As the janitor bot gets near the entrance, she makes a smirk on her face, a bit surprised that this disguise worked. As she goes out the entrance, her whole body shines into a white light as it slowly shapes to a feminine figure. The white light dissipates, revealing the space pirate Ruby in the flesh! As she walks to the edge of the parking space, she examines her scanner checking if the holo device is deactivated. Yes, a hologram program that fools robots and people that what they see before them is disguised as something else. It even has the ability to fool scanners just in case they want to verify the person or robot in front of them with fake identification and blueprints.
	The space pirate messes with her scanner until she selects “call ship”. A mile away, a purple ship with a pointy front, quadrilateral wing sticking out on the back and lights placed at the rear and front, receives the command. The holographic person in the ship, used to the give the illusion that it’s owned by a pedestrian is turned off and the ship dashes to Ruby’s location. She has the ship raise the glass dome and she jumps in. The glass dome closes again as she takes control and drives off from the museum, laughing to herself in victory.
	Ruby turns on her video screen and makes a request to contact her client. A balding Asian businessman appears on screen, his eyes closed and behind square-framed glasses. He wears a dark grey suit with a green tie. He sees the space pirate taking out the White Swan from her left boot pocket, showing it clearly on screen. The businessman claps his hands together and smiles, immediately sending her the coordinates. He pulls out a briefcase and lays it on his desk, opening it to reveal lots of dollar bills inside. Ruby grins at the sight, almost as if dollar signs would pop out of her eyes in a cartoon fashion. She accepts the coordinates of the location and sets on her autopilot, the ship steadily cruising to one of the businessman’s luxurious mansions, resting soundly in Pluto.
