Yes, they begin planning immediately

Nikkie took the info on the cruise ship to the boys and then went to one of the bedrooms to take a nap. Siobhan on the other hand took over the duty of counting what they got from the last cruise ship they were only slighter under their goal, a succuss regardless. After that she started looking up recent news on their escapade. For the most part they had gotten away with it, there was some guy claiming he opened the warp gate they escaped through, but Siobhan could tell Nikkie had used him, based on the fact his clothes looked to ripped up like she liked to do to disrobe people who didn't move fast enough.

Hours passed and Siobhan was drifting to sleep when H finally appeared with an energetic smile and tablet in hand. "We're ready, come on." H led her to another room where Niles and Nikkie were already waiting.

H placed down his tablet and hit a button, projecting a hologram of the cruise ship. "Okay Nikkie found us a good one." Nikkie did a small giggle. "It's a 'pleasure' cruise for rather finically stable twenty somethings. That means lots of money, and frivolity."

"Mostly humans" Niles added. "Crew is a lot more varied. But before we continue, I'm curious what you two think our plan might be?"

Siobhan wasn't good at this at all. "Uhh, go after the casino. Cause a black-out first?" Niles and H did a small laugh.

And Nikkie didn't care. "Crash another sship into it as a disstraction after we hold them hosstage?" Unlike Siobhan's answer, this only caused looks of shock. "Or ssomthing."

"Right, something." H said in agreement.

Niles picked up the conversation. "We can't get another ship like that derelict we found, we got lucky our prediction of where they would park it was correct."

"As for the casino, we aren't going for the casino." H shut down that path. "Even if they haven't heard of us going after the other one yet they will soon and lock up tight. Besides it's much smaller. No, what we're going to do is enjoy some cat burglary, kleptomania and a few one-night stands. Get in empty their jewelry boxes and any credits that aren't chipped get out.

Nikkie giggled, suddenly she was excited. Siobhan wasn't as happy, but she didn't care all that much H was hers and she knew this plan wasn't exclusive to him. Not to mention he sucked at getting people to fuck him casually and even have to help him get laid, at least with women, men seemed to find him more approachable.

H was feeling the same the same, he knew Siobhan was well aware how temporary one-night stands were in the grand scheme of things, and that like she had in the past, she would help him get invited back to people's quarters. The last time they had a plan involve a hookup they discovered the target was closeted and found H to be far more his style, H had discovered a few things about himself that day.

Niles didn't care. "The ship docks frequently and swaps out crew and passengers. Using my background, and the fact it's a rather hated job, I'll be easily accepted as a mechanic."

"Meanwhile Siohban and I will simply buy tickets with the money we just acquired, the cabins are quiet. H pointed at the lower levels of the holographic ship. "And the cheapest ones are right next to maintenance corridors, so we'll have a place to meet up." He turned to Nikkie "Sorry but we don't have enough to buy you a ticket Nikkie, you're going to have to improvise your own way on board."

She did a pout "SShit".

"I've already made fake identities and bought tickets for you two. As well as sending my overly shining resume in." Niles tapped on the pad turning off the hologram, swiped a few times and handed it over to Nikkie. "This is the entertainment for the week we'll be aboard, one singer, comedians, artists of all sorts. One of them is your best bet in sneaking abord, them and crew in higher positions. It's your choice."

Nikkie flipped through the entertainment page and smiled. "They're almost all humans."

Siobhan interrupted, "How the hell are we not going to get caught, plenty of people will notice stuff missing within a few hours and know which of us they just fucked."

Niles laughed this time, "Even after what we did the ship will still be run with little security personal, most of it will be digital including the theft reports. A few hours after we leave, I'll have a few programs mess with those reports, provide compensation, cover for us, etcetera, etcetera. By the time they notice things are wrong well be leaving the ship, I mean we'll certainly still be on the ship so once we dock, we leave, quickly." The tone in his gravelly voice was only slightly more serious sounding then normal, which was impressive. "Nikkie, have you chosen a method."

"These thingss take time, besside there's a chance one of them isn't into me. Unlikely I know but sstill."

(I don't have any set path for this route, but I do have semi-unique ideas for each of the ten options below, so please help me pick. And yes, next chapter will include far more fucking.)
