((Yes, but your character was alive before the 40 year jump, if he was 20, he would be 65 now, not exactly the pirating age.))

(READ BEFORE POSTING!!! If you ignore it and say tl;dr, you'll have no idea what is going on and I will judge you so hard) 5 years have passed since Torang, Ignatius, Luecia, Zed, and Zooey left for the Interpol planet to steal enough energy to revert Torang's age. The mission was successful, and Torang was transported back to the ship, pretending to be a new person, Bade, to protect himself from his old and new enemies. Ignatius, now 30, has taken command of the Space Pirates and Bade serves as his right hand, and has been giving him guidance ever since Torang died while Ignatius was trying to get the energy needed. The only people who know about Bade's true identity are Ignatius, Zooey, Exodus, and formerly Zed and Luecia. Adrienne joined the Bounty Hunters and has been training with them ever since, plotting to kill the Space Pirates. She has been feed information about the supposed evil nature of the Space Pirates and the crimes her mother, Exodus, and father, Torang, have committed. She has been getting stronger ever day and is still mad at her father for blowing up her ship when she attempted to destroy a peaceful planet, which caused her to lose an arm and both of her legs. Creepwolf was killed in his old age fighting a large force of Interpol soldiers, Bade/Torang wasn't able to accept the death of his good old friend and searched for a blood relative, where he was able to find that in the time he was gone, Creepwolf had a son. Grim Cantare, the only know relative of Creepwolf, was convince by Bade to join and he is now a member of the Space Pirates. Exodus 'regained' her memories through others who told her about her life and through memory simulation programs. They withheld the information from her childhood and the fact that she had powers. She is also prone to mental breakdowns and delusion, which secretly had plagued her throughout her entire life, but these are more vivid and intense. She has two mental tulpas, a deep male voice that tells her emotionless facts and logical decisions, representing her ego, and an energetic female voice which sounds and speaks passionately and erratically, representing her id, telling her to do ridiculous, selfish, and potentially dangerous things. Exodus still heads the military operations as such, but her skills as a fighter have decreased slightly, though they are still potent. Spire was eventually found on one of the Space Pirates adventures to the Interpol planet. He was cryogenically frozen and being held by Taggart. Taggart had this weird thing about freezing people and calling them his trophies. He would also pretend to be the people he froze, he was a strange man, however Spire was found and brought back to the ship. He was not present for almost 50 years so Bade and Ignatius did update him on the situation and told him of Bade's true identity. Zooey is still a beloved member of the Space Pirates. She never recovered any of the memories of her life as a goddess, but everyone likes her the way she is, which is the same reason Ignatius hasn't tried to make her sane. She was recently proposed to by the lovely broom, Anabel, and now they live together happily in the broom closet. Zed and Luecia eventually disappeared one day, and no one has heard from either but everyone believes they are alive somewhere. Amelia still waits on Zed to come back, thinking he will one day. She did actually start doing her work after Zed left, and is still working to this day, as hard as she can, to find him. Nothing else changed for the Space Pirates, but they still have Interpol chasing them, and the Bounty Hunter Federation was becoming a threat. Ignatius and Bade would have to work hard to train the members for this foreseen battle. Bade/Torang was the most concerned about training the members, because last time they weren't able to train hard enough, Exodus had to cause that explosion, which left him a single dad and unable to lead the Space Pirates for a while.
((I HAD NO IDEA THIS EXISTED BEFORE THIS. PROBABLY BECAUSE IT CAME OUT IN JANUARY. I WANT TO BE A PART OF. LIEK, NOW.))
Grim was still getting used to his new cabin, it was only recently he joined and things were very different. He had mixed feelings about how his father left him and was unsure what to think, but what he was doing felt right. It seemed the natural way to go at least for now. He was given a pistol when he joined of which he was now modifying in silence. He crudely attached a bayonet to it though it was sturdy and mixed various pieces he found compatible from other weapons. He was in the slow process of making it his own in the cabin, with the pieces scattered about. He continued like this for a while, drifting in and out of consciousness as he felt the need to sleep. He remained like this with his thoughts for a while.
Bade woke up, staring at his wife, who had once forgotten who he was. She wasn't awake yet, but he kissed her on the forehead and got out of bed. He looked into the mirror, rubbing his eyes. "God, I hate having black hair." He said quite sarcastically, knowing it might keep him alive one day. He walked into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and quickly washed his face. "Change." He said as a few machine arms stretched out of the walls and quickly put his clothes on. Bade walked out of his room and started heading down to Ignatius' lab. He whistled a quick tune until he stopped in front of the door. "Oi, Ignatius, you up?" The door opened and answering the door was Ignatius, who looked like he hadn't shaved in a few days and the bristle on his face was becoming a light beard. "I've been up for a while, working on a project." "You've really got to get more sleep." "What are you my dad?" Ignatius closed the door as Bade walked in. "You know you can't keep making those jokes." Bade whispered. "Hey, no one will ever know, trust me." "Yeah, well your name isn't Bade!" He laughed. "Well who names their kid Ignatius!" he laughed back. Bade punched him and they walked over to his lab. Ignatius walked over to a display he had up. He had a blueprint opened up on a glass-looking screen. He pulled the object off of the screen and it became a 3D projection in front of them. "Mom helped me figure it out, I guess I got my skills from her." "For technology maybe, but you got your fighting skills from both of us." Ignatius had been working on the design for a new series of weapons for the pirates. Exodus had aided him in finding a new element and using it to design weapons. When heated for the first time, the element will bend to any shape, but upon cooling, the metal won't melt even at the temperature of a supernova. Ignatius used this to design heavy weapons that would never overheat. "So what do you think of the machine gun, Pops?" "It's great, but don't you think it'll be pretty heavy?" "Yeah, but we'll fix that later, this is just the early design." Bade walked over and picked up a metal glove he saw. He put it on and pointed each finger at the wall. "Don't....." Ignatius said as each finger projected a ray which cut into the walls, all the way down the hall.
"Two months without incident. You seem to be improving." In the dim lighting of a medical ward bunk, a medic say on a stool next to his patient on the bed, writing on a clipboard. "Your medication and treatment has been going very well." The medic said happily to his patient. "Yes... But I've been getting the same dream over and over again." Replied the patient, sounding slightly absent and tired. "What is this dream?" The medic asked after writing a few things down on his clipboard. "I'm in a dark room. It's very musty and smells awful. I'm scared and panicked, but I have no idea why." The bed rustled slightly, as if the patient were uncomfortable. "I bust out of a door and strange men are chasing me. Next, I'm suddenly running through a field. I hear a loud rushing sound, a bang, and then the dream is over. This has been happening every night for the last three years. I've taken the sleep drugs, I've tried medication, but it just keeps happening. Does it mean anything?" The medic sat silently for a few seconds. "Very interesting, but it's just a dream. Dreams are nonsense made from..." The medic paused. "It's just nonsense. You know about your condition. It's nothing to worry about. Now, I'm going to give you a new prescription now an-" "But I'm already on twenty other medications!" The patient cut him off abruptly and rather loudly. "I can't keep going like this. It's all too overwhelming." The medic responded calmly. "I know. But you'll just have to trust me." "Whatever..." The patient said, very annoyed. "Exodus. Look at me." "..." Exodus was staring at the bed sheets, refusing to answer. "Fine. We'll continue next week. I have another patient to speak to." The medic opened the door and left the room, leaving Exodus by herself. Hmm. He's growing impatient with you. Why don't you listen to him? He is the doctor after all. Said Edgar sternly. Nonono! He's being too pushy. You keep on popping pills and you're gonna become an addict! You should just stop coming here altogether. Ellie argued back. "We have this discussion every week. Edgar is right, Ellie. We need to listen to him... But it would be fun to ditch him." Exodus usually sided with 'Edgar' during arguments. "Let's go get Bade and tell him that we are done with the session. He always asks how it is." She got up and leisurely walked out of the medical ward. She kept on thinking about the dream, slightly ignoring what her doctor said about it. Did you see how he shifted around after you told him about the dream? He's hiding something. Everybody is. They always do. Ellie spoke up. "Yes. I did notice how he acted. Maybe I'll ask him next time." Exodus shrugged, disinterested with Ellie's ramblings. "This isn't going to be like the time you thought that Zooey was a crime lord is it?" Hey! Even Edgar was on-board with the idea. I could've sworn that her closet was a base with meth labs and weapons! I deny any claims or opinions on the matter. Edgar coldly added. "Shut up, you two. You're giving me a headache." Exodus angrily interrupted. A lower rank pirate walked by. "Who are you talking to, ma'am?" He asked innocently. Her eyes narrowed. "None of your damn business. Now walk along." He ran quickly down the halls, terrified. "Why does everybody run from me when I get angry?" Most likely because you locked a crew mate in an airlock because Ellie told you to. Edgar said tiredly. "He lived, didn't he?" He was in the medical ward for two months straight. "Doesn't matter. Now, shut up." Both voices were silent for the rest of her walk. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Aboard the BHF Goliath-Class super carrier, orbiting binary system 9A-3400 "Sixty-Six...Sixty-Seven....Sixty...Eight." Sweat dribbled down Adrienne's chin. She was the only one in the training room, as other members didn't want to train with a "deznner" or cyborg. Her robotic arm was now covered with carbon-plating, as we're her legs. She wore black gym shorts and a gray tank-top with BHF in large bold print on the back. Her bionic arm was behind her back as she did one-handed push-ups. Her body was fit and toned, unlike her former self, who was less athletic and less physically disciplined. "Nintey-nine...One...hundred...." She stopped, panting slightly. Adrienne walked to the women's shower-room and bathed the sweat off of herself. After she was done, she donned her standard uniform, a navy-blue and black suit with a buttoned up frontal-flap, reminiscent of ancient clothing worn in the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds. Her shoes were shiny and black which accented her black slacks nicely. ((Uniform is similar to these two mixed, but blue and black. She was still a cadet, as her unit leader refused to promote her because of her prosthetic limbs, which he said gave her an 'unfair advantage'. Adrienne knew that her mentor, Admiral Alik, would never allow such discrimination, but every time she tried to bring it up, her leader would force her to do mundane tasks. After walking to her bunk, Adrienne noticed her bunk-mates in the room. "Hey Cali, Maria, Sami." They looked up at her, but they went back to doing what they were doing. "Alright then..." Adrienne had just transferred to this bunk, since she had sent her one of her previous bunk-mates to the ER. "So... I guess it's time to get to know each other, don't any of you think?" Adrienne asked rather awkwardly. "What do you want, deznner?" The brunette girl, Maura, asked rudely and bluntly. She was a pale, ugly, brute of a girl that Adrienne already started to hate. "I just-" "Just what? Wanted to 'make friends?' Well, hun. Lemme tell you, if you dot talk to me, I won't use you as a charging dock for my comm. Got it?" Adrienne was fuming. "You know what? I'm gonna-" "Okaayyyy!" A silver-haired smaller girl, Maria, graves Adrienne by the arm lightly and pulled her to the side. "Are you crazy?" She whispered loudly. "Nobody messes with her! She paralyzed her previous bunk-mate from the neck down last time she was in a fight!" Adrienne scoffed. "I've been through worse than that. Besides, aren't you not 'supposed' to talk to a deznner like me?" "No, I'm not like that. Only Maura is in this bunk." She waved at Maura from across the room, who had now gone back to whatever she was doing before. "Cali is okay as well. She is in here because she rigged the air-systems to spray out truth-gas at the mess hall." Adrienne laughed. "So that's who that was!" She glanced at Cali and then back at Maria. "So why are you here? You don't look like any bounty-hunter I've ever seen." "I poisoned the leader's water supplies with some...uh..." "Spit it out now." Adrienne said impatiently. "I put a mild dose of neurodixis in the water. You know, the stuff that causes severe hallucinations and seizures..." She replied nervously. "Damn... I should've done that years ago." The intercom went off. "ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL. THE MESS HALL IS NOW OPEN. PLEASE REPORT IMMEDIATELY FOR LUNCH." "Sounds like that's for us. Lets go. I'll introduce you to Cali properly." Maria said sweetly as they walked out far behind Maura.
"Honestly, at one point you were about 65 years old, how are you still not mature enough to not pick up everything and try it out?!" Torang shrugged at this comment and saw that Exodus was leaving the medic bay from the hole he put in the wall. "Gotta go kiddo, your mom's awake." "Tell her I say hello." Torang left Ignatius lab and started heading toward where Exodus was. "So, how was it?" Torang asked, as it had became his routine. "Ignatius says hello."
