simple we have company, elyon instruct them to land in the courtyard

elyon; done i've sent the message

me: somethings wrong the ship is V's but it doesn't sound like him so get ur guns ready i need to go get something quick

you only have 75 with you? I have over 237,000 Creds' with me!

=I burst out laughing, and leave 75 credits on the table=


Tar-Tun:

I wonder why Voutan left....

=turns to zeru=

I'm gonna keep my guns with me...

=They recieve a message to land in the courtyard. Jack finds a few sets of brand new Herac clothing=

Jack- Rare stuff...

=He throws on a set under his clothing. He gets his things and heads into the courtyard with two of his men. They each caeey rifles, and Jack carries the ELS, MCR, Twin Pistols, and EK, but all their weapons are holtered. Jack looks around=

=I pick up my credits=

It isn't wise to carry that much when you are on duty

=I walk out of the room and down the hallway=

=She laughs nervously=
All these noises are making me paranoid...

=She keeps looking around uneasily=

Tar-Tun:

=get's his Spiker ready=

I don't like this...



Scythe:

@anog, I'm not on duty, I'm AWOL!

=I follow him, after getting my stuff=

(He holds her closer)
@Ash
Its okay.
We are almost there.

(They get closer and closer to the staircase)

=I continue to walk down the hall=

I ment me!

=I see an open door with a person that looks like Vout on the bed=

Voutan...?

=I step closer to see no head and I try to retrain myself from puking=

@snow, Oh yeah, I forgot to to something about that...

= stepping into the room=

=A man comes running out of the cargo bay. An assassin sent on Jack. He dashes out at him and Jack draws both his pistols and empties the clips into the man's chest. In one fluid motion, he drops the empty clips into his pockets, uses his two end fingers to bring out two more, puts them against his hips, and slides the guns over them to reload=

Jack- Damn assassins. Never leave us the hell alone. Anyways...

=He holsters his pistols and brings out his cane. He stands and waits for the person from the Comms to come meet him=

=I walk up to his body and lean him up=

Even I can't fix that...

=I push him back down and step back=

Tar-Tun:

=throws a rock at the Solun=

Hey Vout!



Scythe:

Yeah, his bloods all gone, snow...

=She spots a strange door it has roof access written, she smiles=
Looks like we found it...

=She looks at Draco=

(He smiles)
@Ash
About time

(He opens it and they walk out to the roof)

=He hears a farmilliar voice and approaches the source=

Jack- Hello again. You must have followed me all the way here. Thats some determination.

Tar-Tun:

Your not Voutan, Who are you!?

=She sight with relief as they reach the roof=
I was getting real sick of being inside there...

=She walks over to the edge of the roof looking off the edge=
What now..? We have no ship, we can't contact anyone.. What if those people come after us again..

=He looks at the man for a moment=

Jack- And you're not Scythe. You must be the one I talked to on the Comms.
=He extends his hand for a handshake=

Jack- Jack Waidmanne.

(He walks up behind her)
@Ash
We fight them off.
Its the only thing we can do.

(He shakes his head)
I dont know

=he raises his gun=

Where is Vout!?

=He walks out of the room=

I think it is best to leave this to the local authorities..

=I walk down the hallway into the main lobby to grab some coffee=

=Jack smiles=

Jack- Now, now. No need for such things. As you can see, Voutan is not here. I have his shi as the result of a bargain we made some time ago. Now, who are you?

The name is Tar-Tun Stenzier, now tell me where he is!

Fight them off...? With what?

=She sighs still looking over the edge=
When will it end...

=I see some the civilians in the room=

=I get uncomfortable=

Jack- Hmm. You remind me of a man I played dice with back on Shadow of the Moon. Anyway, that is where Voutan is now. Now, are you going to lower that weapon so we can be civil?

(He looks upon the city)
(People walking the streets)
(He sighs)
@Ash
Hopefully. It will all end.
All wars come to an end eventually

(He hugs her)

Why do you have his ship? I want a complete explanation, then I'll be civil... may I come on the ship?

Jack- Like i said before, i have Voutan's ship as the rsult of a deal we made some years ago. Now then, we are looking for the Technition Zeru Ishtar.

let me on the ship...

And i'll tell you

=She looks out into the city stepping away from the edge=
It has to...

=She sighs standing next to Draco=
What are we going to do about this Jack person..?

(He looks at her)
@Ash
He wanted to send a message.
He sent one with those.

(He pauses)

"Gifts"

(He shakes his head)

Next time I see him. I will get information from him.
But right now.
I just want some air.
To get a break.

=She nods=
I understand... Sorry...

=Thinking to herself as she looked out into the city=
I have to do something... I can't let him do this... How did he know them..?

=She looks back to Draco=
Are you okay..? I never really got to say how sorry I was about what I did to that clerk...

Jack- You can come into the ship once we receive the help we came for.

It's not your ship!

=gets his finger on the trigger=

(He looks at her)
@Ash
Its okay.
You were angry and wanted answers.
It is understandable.

=i enter the training room, my "escorts" fanning out behind me to make sure I can't kill anyone. My glazed eyes look around and spot some knives. I walk over and pick one up, i put it back before walking over to a marine=

Marine, may you please play a song? It will help keep him calm, well, actually it will do the opposite, but he will not be focused on you or your men, as long as they do not do anything hostile.

-I don't give a shit what helps him sleep at night or whatever it is he needs. No requests.

=i look him in the eyes, he tries to hide his discomfort, but it is written all over his body= If you do not play this song, I can guarantee you, with almost perfect certainty, you will be attacked. Play the song, and no one has to die. Deal? That is all I ask of you for him. Play the song.

-Fine. What song is it?

It's called Nalepa Monday, by the Glitch Mob. It was written in the early 21st century. It is on file, we have heard it before.

=he accesses the song and plays it through the room's loudspeakers. i walk over and grab the knife before letting Dormii take physical control. I swing and stab and slice and maim and kill invisible enemies to the beat and sounds of the song. I go no closer than 5 feet to any of the 8 marines in the room, "escorting" me=

=He sighs=

Jack- First of all, i didnt say it was. Second, it actually is, due to a bargain he made with me. But that is none of your concern. Thirdly, if you dont holter that weapon, things will get ugly, and i dont think either of us want that.

hmm....

(insert light bulb here)

=he shouts=

Sunrieon!

=He sighs again=

Jack- That wont work.

=Sunreion attempts to come online, but quickly crashes again=

It's not okay... I became something I never thought I was...

=She looks back out onto the city=
Such a beautiful city...

=She returns to her thoughts=
I don't know what to do.. Is there something on his mind..? What could it be..

Somethings not right... What was this deal you had with him?

=The manager of the hotel walks up to me=

Manager: Some of the people in this hotel are uncomfortable with your presence

=I stand up=

I am sorry, there is nothing I can do..

=He sighs=

Jack- He owed me his life, so the deal was that if he could kill the rougue spartans hiding on Chi Ceti IV he would live. If he failed, i would take his life and his ship. He failed.

you killed him!?

........................................................................kill

=his finger presses down=

(Hope and Sarge appear behind him)
(He looks unto the city once more)
(The sounds of the wind)

=He feels an impect in his chest. He stands there unaffected due to the Herac clothing he had taken, He smiles, retracts his cane, and puts in on his belt=

Jack- I told you that he was on the planet Shadow of the Moon, and that i now possesed his ship as a result of a bargain he made with me. Did i lie?

=He draws his pistols and fires all the rounds in them at the man. He reloads and he has the two men still on the ship start it up. It kicks up dust and blows sand past Jack and into Tar's face, his lower coat also flying in the wind as he fires mad amounts of ammunition at Tar-Tun=

Shit!

=he does his bet to run=

thank god for this helmet

AYY ZERU!! HELP!!

=Jack reloads and holsters his guns. He walks back up ont the ship, using his hat to deflect the dust out of his face=

OI! Zeru! Where are you!?

=he trips=
