Mission 1: Taken

Post by Stoic »

Ever since the crew broke off from the Remorseless, the comms haven't exactling been lighting up. Just when things are getting to where you think you might have to start a delivery company, you get an offer. A fixer named Juky, a squat maroon skinned woman with hair that seems to be a shiny metal swept up into a spiral shows up at your spaceport one day. She gives you a printed memory card that has instructions to meet up with a man named Kracoola. You are to meet him on level 2-A: The Sorched Lands.

The crew assembles and heads to the level 2-A, automatically guided via one of the many private elevators that exist in Phase World. Once they arrive a small cart that is environmentally protected awaits them. Once the members of the crew get on, it scoots along to a dimension gate that looks like one of the rocks found at stonehenge. On the rock it says in a variety of languages "The Scorched Lands". The rock splits apart and the cart moves you through it. You feel the familiar butterflies in your stomach as you are teleported through the dimensional gate along with a dozen or so similary carts. As you arrive the carts all split off into different directions, yours in particular making a bee line toward one of the few buildings that you see. The Scorch Lands seem to consist entirely of black rock and sand under an angry red sky. The landscape shows enormous volcanos in the distance, many puffing mile high plumes of dary gray smoke. The cart moves speedily toward an enormous building made of stone. Carved just above the door is the trademarked symbol for Ampto, a large supplier of a variety of things, from plasma weaponry to industrial mining equipment. The cart syncs up to the door and the door slides apart once the synce is secured. You walk into a small room where a body scanner thoroughly probes all of you for hidden explosives. Just outisde of the room is a boardroom set up with a long black table carved out of granite and a variety of very large chairs. There is a floor to ceiling window that looks out upon the ruined landscape. A 12 foot tall man that seems to be made entirely out of rock and stone crammed into a jet black business suit looks out the window, taking his sweet time. The room itself is a balmy 100 degrees or so and the lights are dimmed. Once the body scanner is satisfied you hear a THUNK and a previously unnoticed force field dissolves allowing you to fully enter the room.

The mans voice is a deep rumble blended with the scrapping and clicking of his rock mouth. "Have a seat." As the group makes themselves comfortable he turns and sets his orange crystal eyes upon the group.
"Please review and sign the NDA's on the table and then we shall proceed." Before each seat is a glass screen with a standard boilerplate NDA agreement keyed up on it. Once the group signs the screens go back to black, the Ampto logo now displayed.

"Four weeks ago the Crown Prince Alutar of Mekakur vanished. He was on a sabbatical in the Thunder Cloud galaxy when his ship lost contact. The last signal received was a distress signal indicating that the ship was being boarded by bandits. As you may know, Ampto is a fully owned subsidiary of the planet Mekakur, and it is imperative that the Prince is found and returned safely. You come highly recommended to us and we are prepared to compensate you handsomly for your services. We are offering 5 Million credits for his safe return. If that is not possible... we will over half of that for solid verifiable information as to what happened to him." The orange eyes blaze slightly. "If he was killed by these bandits... we will offer the full 5 million for vengeance, which again must be verified. If you accept we will put 500,000 of your payment into a secured account of your choosing. This is to be used for various expenses and will count against your payment. If you then decide to dishonor your contract.... He gestures toward the bleak landscape. "They will never find you."

Instructions

A common knowledge roll will tell you that the rock man is from a species called teh Mekakurians who come from, you guessed it, Mekakur. They are very harsh and straight forward, but don't seem to understand the concept of lying. This is a large reason why they often hire mercenaries to do their work for them as they find the subtlety often requires in this sort of work to be beyond them. Feel free to ask any questions you may like, but they will provide you with an Astrogation chip that will add a +4 to get to the last known location of Prince Alutar's ship. It was last seen about .1 parsec from Paradise, a pleasure planet where the ultra wealthy and their playthings let off steam in the Thunder Cloud Galaxy. This area is unfortunately known for pirates many of whom take their wealthy victims hostage in hopes of a quick pay day. There is a bustling hostage/hostage recovery industry which sometimes have the same people working both sides. If you have any questions please post them here or in the hangouts. I will give this a week to move on since I know not everyone is quite up yet.

Hunger... Didn’t miss that when I was a knight. Thank the forge that Junky gave us a call and a meet with a man named Kracoola in 2-A: Schroched Lands. Sadly it would not be my first time there, nor my first meet with Karcoola and I doubt little kids will line up asking me if it was fun because it was not...
A lifetime ago, Black Gaurd Servants of Darkstar
He was faceless and supreme. Darkstar commanded us to venture to the dry heat of the scorched lands. ” Enemy mine... Cackarole... The minning worker is late on what he promised. Our employer demands his liver or whatever passes for it. Bring it to me... Bring me his children’s as well. Hahaha.”

I am not sure if it was bring your children to work day but the black gaurd found Cackarole and his two children in one of the industrial mines. The black gaurd surrounded Cackarole easy enough and I went for the children. The dust in the mines made my vision go all blurry and I tripped tumbling down a shaft. Everything went black, last thing I heard was a sickening crack.

Pain... Right arm was busted but someone was moving it. My mouth was dry, the air sapped any moisture from it. I croaked, ” Stop... Don’t move me.”

The voice of angel answered back. It sounded like a cyrtaline ressonance, ” Brother... Brother... She is alive.”

Another voice answered he sounded more jaded, maybe older. It was a deeper voice sounded like two rocks scrapping together. ” Leave her... She is like the others... They... Grhhh...” The kid... Maybe some kind of rock creature, it was hard to tell with no eyes, was hefting a large rock meaning to bash my brains in.

Fortunately his sister had a bit more sense she melodically cried, ” Kracoola! No... We might need her help to get out.”
I tried to hide my laughter, but it escaped my lips... I held my good hand up, ” Sorry... Sorry... I... Yes I can help you get out. Without reading too much into it please, I am sorry about your dad.”. I was sorry, and I got them both out.
At the meeting Ducky shied away from being front and center as best as she could. Karcoola... You look like you turned out alright. She keeps her cosmic helmet on and does ask one pertanent question, ” What do you mean by sabatical and without reading too much into it who is next in line?”

Reading over the information and reviewing what is Que nods to himself. "Sounds to me like he is just having a little bit of extra fun on Paradise. But if it is pirates, we can make that problem go away too."

Addressing his mentor Que asks. "So boss are we gonna take this job, any chance we can make a stop for a few hours on Paradise? There may be some leads we can follow up to get into this guys head space so to speak..."

Ducky smiles at Que. She seems to take him calling her boss in stride even if she is not the actual captian and has no authority over him. It never has been clear to her who is in command of this outfit. Her general lack of worldly knowledge and confusing last name has only added to her unspoken question. But her faith in the forge keeps her pressing forward. For a while now she just assumes the temporal wizard calls her boss because that is her last name. ”Yeah Que, sounds like a job meant for us. After its over Paradise sounds like a good place to recouperate and relax.” She pauses and scrounchers her lips in a playful frown, ” But you knew I was going to say that right?”

Que tries to look into the potential future of such as event. "Nah, we just agreed not to say nothing and why would we." Fidgeting with a small dud grenade obviously made for children Que finishes.

The rockman turns his attention to Ducky, his stones clicking as he moves. "Sabbatical... he was taking a break, sowing his royal seeds, so to speak. And as far as who is next in line to the throne, why it is him when he reproduces into another rockman of course. What else would it be?" He shakes his head. "You carbon based life forms are so confusing with your trickery and guile. We have no need for such machinations."

He turns his attention to Sera. "It is a standard contract, protecting us from any negative publicity regarding our situation. If you choose not to sign it, so be it."

Ducky nods to Karcoola and asks Que and Sera, ” Everything seems alright with this NDA?” Assuming they say yes she signs it hastily and fairly illegably as if she had no idea how to write. Hopefully Que and Sera remember I am blind.

"You should just sign it, these guys do not lie by design. If they were going to kill us or betray us they would just say so." Turning to the big stone man. "Hey are you planning on betraying us, killing or capturing us when we finish this mission?"

turning back to Sera he says. "See, all is copacetic."

Sera looks over at Que, "I signed the NDA like 20 minutes ago. That is kinda what non disclosure acts are for. entitling us to secret information that we aren't supposed to share with others not under the NDA. Thanks for explaining about their race though." Sera glances over at Ducky's terminal. X marks the spot. "You're good, Boss." She looks over at the rockman. "The mission is okay with me if the others are okay with it."

The rockman nods, satisfied. "Very well then. Please send me a detailed report every two weeks until you have fulfilled your task." He uses his large hand to scoop up a few stones from a bowl placed next to him, he drops them into his mouth and munches on them. He waits patiently, chewing the bits of stone into a fine powder as the group moves back into the transport, which spits them back out in the middle of center.
OOC Comments
This will be a quick turnaround post. What do you plan to do with the fronted money he gave? I still anticipate Matt joining, so his character will be in hypersleep on your ship until he finishes his guy. The trip will take about 6 days in FTL mode. It's an easy journey for the A.I. pilot, but if you would like to manually drive you can get there in 4 days at a -2 to pilot due to having to shoot through an asteroid field. I will post again by this Sunday, so please try to have your posts/loadout up by then. As always any questions or concerns, just ask.

Oh you will get your report you rocking eating €£¥££. Did he really just spit those rocks out, that like giving us the middle finger. Ducky pauses a moment to see if Que or Serena made any objections at the Karcoola’s out burst.
Still though units are units and this guy seemed to not to mind my killing his dad back before. 500,000 enough for one month’s repairs and food in the belly that is not fried space wasp. Or a few choice contacts out in Mekakur. Mozt folks won’t talk unless you give them a good reason. The reason needs to be great to get them talking about the right thing.

Ducky posses a auestion to the others while riding the lift back, ”Food, Repairs, or Leads?”

On the off chance someone can look past my good horrifc looks it might be good to reach out to someone out near the pleasure planet... Maybe I can get a hold of the prince’s secretary and get his personal agenda.

Ducky taps a few keystrokes and pings secretary Roucku. Ducky could not make out the secretary’s unusually sour demenor. When your prince goes missing shit tends to flow downhill and Roucku had been grilled mercilessy by the royal gaurd. Ducky choughed slightly and began to talk in a pleasant manner, ”Hi, my name is...”

The secretary spat some rock bits at the screen and yelled, ” I know damn well eho you are, a waste of money and time. You’ll fail and we will pick up the peices.”

Before Ducky could respond the feed went dead. What the hell was that?

Luckily, Sera knows a guy. Er a girl. Well... It's name is Mansriel, a changeling madam who works in one of the most prestigious brothels on this particular Pleasure Planet. Mansriel is happy to catch up so sends a GPS Coordinates via Ansible so that Sera and company can easily find the closest space port. They set the Sovereign on auto pilot and have it orbit as closely as possible. A drone ship docks and takes them planet side, revealing a beautiful desert landscape with plenty of sparkling blue water everywhere. The drone ship gingerly lands them at the brothel, a place called "Kink" and Mansriel eagerly takes both Sera and Ducky by the hand, leading them to a private apartment. Mansriel explains that they can both stay here while they are investigating, and Mansriel even provides the name of a couple of people who might be able to help. The first is Tox, a security agent of the corporation that owns this planet, who should be able to help them get footage if it exists.

A room rich wood walls and white gold tiled ceiling. One of the walls about 15ft in length had a full length mirror framed with platnuim inlays giving the feeling living silver plants held it. Five beds pushed were pushed together as one was centered in the room. /the once pristine white satin sheets were drenched with blood. Arms, fingers, legs of at least six species littered the ground. The blood pooled on the floor like a glactic kolidascope of color. Only two people were in the room aliave. One was Ducky wearing the armor and sigil of Darkstar’s black gaurd and the other a little changling girl with a golden M necklace.

” You must hide yourself. My leige will return if he finds anyone of your unique talents was left alive.”
Ducky left her room pausing to glance down the hall at the galactic suite. Curious that our apartment is so near. I wonder if Mansriel knows... Shrugging siliently Ducky walks down past the go-go dancers and ejectors thankful that she was blind. Outside she felt warm, not too warm but not the constant chill she felt aboard a ship that ran its enviormental support systems on the edge of just barely livable. Softly she hit the comms in her armor’s guantlet and spoke direct to @Sera , ” Sera, I am going to take a walk arround this Tox’s office space...”

Her words trailed off as she spied almost 150 feet away and about 50 feet up at the nearby port, that catered to the ultra wealthy, trouble. A pleasure yatch was being boarded by members of the worst merc company known as Dannies Dozen. Aptly named because they were all named Danny, Dan, or Daniel, and yup there was a dozen of them. Most folks had never heard of them but having traveled the edge of three galaxies and back Ducky reckognized their reversed swastika insignia and knew they were just a thuggry arm of the Megaversal Legion. One of them, a big guy that looked to be the result of a coupling between a quickflex and a dogboy strong armed the captain ( a pleasant looking human) producing the requred yelp for help. Of course species never mattered to Ducky, she had a hard time telling Grackles from Kreeghors. What mattered to her was the cry for help, and it required action on her part.

Quickly she comm’d Sera again, ” Something is up at the port... Hang on.” In a flash she transformed into a being of pure energy, or pure sun light that flooded the cosmos. She sped, flipped, skipped, and bounded off rails, crates, busts, up to the top of the starport in question. Finally flipping over the heads of the mercs onto the cargo plank placing herself firmly between the mercs and their desire to board the ship. Her cosmic armor was blazing hot, and her sword crackled with electricity.

One of the mercs, named Danny-yo cried out with some amount of panic, ” Yo, its the Duck! My... My... Aunty used to tell me tales of Thunder Duck. Its her!”

The leader of the Mercs grimmaced showing a pair of fangs. His name was Count Daniel, and yup a vampire lord beholden to some god aweful intelegence named Eater of Round Things. ”Va... Not Da Thunder Duck I think... Va Va Va she died long ago... Vas Da same get her Dannies!” The mercs dropped the captain producing all maner of weaponry as if they were overcompensating for something.

No way Ducky Boss could loose to these wannabe mercs, but that is when her plan all fell apart and something unexpected happened.

"Oh joy Mr. Givens, we are saved. Perhaps I've time to return to the masseuse while you finish packing then." A familiar, acerbic voice says from the door to the cabin dock. On the balcony are a man and a large combat android standing protectively in front of him, a pair that Ducky has not seen for a couple of months.
Dorian in armor.jpg
Mr Givens.jpg
"Lord Director, as these miscreants have a 78% chance of being here on your behalf, I feel it is only proper we aid Captain Boss." The robotic servant chides his master before greeting the Sovereigns leader. "Greetings Captain Boss, you look well, ma'am. Some assistance perhaps?" The combat android levels his rail gun at the mercs and awaits the next move.

Even in heavy armor the irritation of the Altess with his bodyguard is apparent. "I suppose you're going to be intransigent about this.. Fine then." Pulling bits from pouches around his person Dorian assembles and slips what looks like a silencer with light spilling out of the holes onto the muzzle of his machine gun. "Shall we Ducky?" And he unleashes a burst of sunlight enhanced TK rail slugs into Count Daniel. Mr. Givens is more judicious with his fire. Taking a careful single shot into the trunk of the biggest of the D team.

Ducky slashes Tiny Dan, an ewok esque size and shape weilding broke down plasma torches. His cute furry head falls to the floor of the landing ramp. Ducky might have felt sorry for killing such a cudly creature if she could see. She half smiles behind her face plate at Mr. Givens warm welcome. Perhaps out of custom or in the moment she senses joy welling up being near her favorite Robo Hero, ” Mr. Givens! Salutations indeed my friend! You are not still—“ Her joy is dashed by the unwelcome Shall we Ducky.... Still though even if Mr. Givens was anchored by Dorian, having half a hero at her side was still better than none. She nods curtly at Dorian who by Ducky’s lack of sight is halphazardly spraying the the Dannies equally hitting crates, super structure, as much as actually hitting the mercs. ”Dorian... What brings you here?”

No Ducky, don’t ask him. But we are so short handed... She sighs reigning in the bitter taste of requiring Dorian’s help. ” Say Dorian, would you and Mr. Givens be up for a job? I got this rock prince gone missing and could use... Some help finding him.”

His initial wild spray having done the job of clearing cover and staggering the vampire, Dorian lines up his prey. A careful burst to the chest finishes the undead, the corpse burning to ash inside the armor. "Manky, seeker prats." he curses under his breath. With the roar of the androids continued fire into the brute making conversation difficult without yelling Dorian instead begins entering data into his wrist computer with an aloof air.

On finishing off his target Mr. Givens answers the repentant fallen knight first. "That would be marvelous Captain. We were hoping to find y.."

Interrupting the android "Employment opportunities, we were hoping to find employment opportunities here so we would love to rejoin the crew. And it will be nice to see our ship again, probably need a complete overhaul..." his emphasis to remind Ducky that he is also a shareholder. "As to our presence, I was testing small scale application of endurance and empathy enhancements for.. private entertainers. Not the best paying study but the perks were considerable. Where shall I have our luggage forwarded?" Over a private channel with his servant No need to mention the Eater just yet, perhaps he'll decide on other means to find the forge. Order Priority Alpha."

A previously non-existent Ley Line coalesces from thin air. The Line thickens into something the thickness of a power cable conduit line. As it the Line goes from translucent to solid, the light from the Key Line goes blinding starlight blue.

On the gangplank behind the ruckus of battle opens a rift about six feet in length. Barely wide enough to push a hotel service cart through, a demon in high class rags steps out just as the Vampire Danny crashes to the ground.

"NOOOOO!"

The lights begin fading. The rift fades back as well into a shrinking circle and then a tiny dot that blinks out. The Ley Line fades as well and the figure stands hunched over.

"I will find you Loanea."

What the fuck your ship? Maybe just the air lock... A rift? Damn it sucks being blind!

Ducky swings low severing the knees of Unlucky Dan a human Dan with a couple of cyber eyes and an unlcky streak as big as the new commers horns. She did not kill him instead her arcing blade went for disable. Ducky knows his plight and leans down whispering to unlucky Dan, ”Stay down! You may yet be lucky enough...” A carbonsteel rod fell from the roof of the space dock plunging deep into unlucky Dan’s chest splattering blood on Ducky’s face plate.
Damn... Super unlucky.

She swats at a quickflex looking dan trying to get the drop on Mr. Givens, ”We’ll talk details after this Mr. Givens. It will be great to work with you again. Please tell Dorian...” Quick Dan, that pesky quickflex lunges at Ducky with a pair of vibro axes. The pairs them both in quick secession. I wish I had eyes so I can glare at Dorian! Your ship! I thought we got it out from under all the investors. At least that is what I thought you said last time we travelled together. Maybe now is not the best time for a financial discussion of our ship.

She rolls under a halfhazard spray of bullets coming up near the new arrival. ” The name is Ducky Boss. Keep your head down. These Danny mercs are not all that skilled so their liable to hit you when aiming for us.” The woman named Ducky looks to be wearing armor made of pure sun light energy, if you did not know any better you might even think she was some kind of cosmo knight wearing such cosmic fueled armor. Or perhaps even the fabled cosmo knight Thunder Duck! But of course legends tell that that knight died on Splynn trying to free slaves. Only a few Dannies left, this fight is over soon.

Sera replied back "Don't cause too much trouble now and have some fun." She was in the process of preparing a mineral oil bath. Not entirely sure why she was using the mineral oil but it sure felt good to her. She washed herself off and then proceeded get into the bath. "This feels so good. sure does rejuvenate the circuits." She giggled at circuits bit, "I say such weird things at times."

So she let the maintenance bath do it's thing when Ducky called on the radio again.

She radio'd back, "Is everything alright?" She gave a pause for any answer. When none came she radio'ed, "Ducky? You there?"

She quickly got out of the bath. A quick rinse and she started to dry herself off. She then proceeded to gear up in her armor.

Ducky ducks under another quick-flex vibro axe swipe. She and Quick Dan seemed an equal match. Time to call in some back up. Ducky spins keeping the quick-flex in front of her and the person who rifted in behind her. She wasn’t about to let Quick Dan score a kill on some hapless travler. She toggled the comm unit radioing @Sera ” Sorry Sera, found some mercs, Dannies Dozen going after a pleasure yatch. Ended up being Dorian’s yatch... Probably should have let them take it. But yeah know handsight...” Thrust, parry block. She grunts at the onslaught her sun filled form glowing brightly, ” We got them down to Dannies half Dozen, I could use some back up. They are more skilled than I recalled.”

Vrothuss, being sensitive energy and light, realizes that the one addressing herself as Ducky, is or was or might yet be a Cosmo Knight. The warning is received in time and Vrothuss processes and responds appropriately.

Where Ducky throws off light, Vrothuss begins bending and shaping it. The light gets sucked in towards Vrothuss's center and vision becomes distorted and blurred. Where there was sound there is none now and none for fifteen or twenty seconds. The lack of silence is then replaced with acascading and deafening sound as if the thrusters on the nearest starship are being pushed to 200% capacity. Then the light and energy come rolling off of Vrothuss in steady thrumming waves.

Spatial Deflection _
Master over space allows the temporal wizard not only to deflect attacks against them but also to redirect them! The power effects are the same (-2 and -4 on a raise) but the caster can make a Shooting attack at -2 (no penalty on a raise) to redirect failed attacks to another foe! This applies to ranged attacks only, melee attacks are deflected as normal.
"Ducky, you should find me without issue. I will meet you halfway."

Vrothuss walks down the gangplank past Dorian and Mr. Givens who are both for a time enveloped in the Spatial Deflection field. Attacks that are directed towards anyone in the field are refelcted, deflected, and some are even absorbed.

Cute, the talk to me through Givens game. They must really need our help, how very fortunate. Dorian continues typing away at his wrist-comp, he seems to be taking notes and analyzing data. "Your reaction time to parry is down 12.3 percent today Ducky, feeling flustered? Twiterpated perhaps?" Complete fiction but he can't help but push her buttons while he works, it's very centering. Actually he is tracking the arrival of the merc's back up squad, he'd managed to jam up the air traffic AI enough to cause their arrival to be staggered, but not as much as he had hoped.

Unnecessarily Mr. Givens intones "More mercenaries are arriving Sirs. Captain Boss I do hope the rest of the crew is near." The huge combat butler slings the railgun and brings his enormous chain-sword to bear as he moves down the gangplank towards the new arrivals. Giving the Gemini Demon a friendly nod as he passes him, "Mr. Vrothuss sir, a pleasure" then he continues down thru the small arms fire. Even the few MD weapons the mercs sport have little effect on the Altess robot. Cutting down the last one on the gangplank he takes up position beside Ducky to face down the next wave.

"Still patched into air traffic so..yes." The techno-wizard looks up as Vrothuss passes, "You again? We paid you and still know nothing of your sister. Those of us with souls still wish to keep them. We covered all this last time so what do you want?"

As he gets close and passes Givens, "Givens, how do you endure this bedazzled whoopi cushion?"

Nearly passed the pair on the gangplank, Voss (Ducky's nickname for Vrothuss) flicks his left wrist and Dorian falls over on his backside staring up at the approaching reinforcements. In a mere whisper directed at Dorian, "Sir, from your vantage point, are there reinforcements coming?"

Fluidly arriving next to Ducky he lets his presence be known but says nothing.

Ducky swivels her head trying to get a better image of the reinforcments heading their way. Probably some megaversal legionairs or some such. Swiftly upon turning her focus back to the improptu melee she responds to @Sera ” We are at the VIP star port just a few hundred feet from KinK. You can probably at least see some megaversal legionaires heading our way.” Ducky grins swinging her electric blade at Might Danny Boy, a young draconic looking creature. She grunts knocking the larger creature to the ground, ”Maybe even some security forces.”

After a heartbeat she nods to @Vrothuss , ” Good timing as always Voss.” Her lips pursed trying to hide her amusement at Voss voicing the spacing comment. In truth the ship had been pretty quiet without Voss, Mr. Given and even Dorian aboard. She didn’t mind the quiet it gave her a chance to contemplate her nightly nightmares. But there was only so much one could dwell on such horrible visions. It’ll be nice to have the ship full again. We are family after all.

@Ducky "The last lead did not pan out and you seem to have hit my most recent lead, well ... right between its four eyes."

Voss as he is called by the crew of the Sovereign, moves up to be near Ducky and places a hand on her shoulder, "I think we are all accounted for Ducky. Do we need more time pampering and primping? Maybe Dorian needs another coat of polish to his ego?"

Finally having the presence of mind to look around, Vrothuss realizes that @Sera is not currently with them.

"Should I retrieve, Sera?"

Fluidly arriving next to Ducky he lets his presence be known but says nothing.
"My core AI has been the Lord Director's manservant for 80 years, I am quite acclimated to his eccentricities. Sirs I am noting several more potential vampires among these mercenaries. I shall be ineffective against them unfortunately."

From his seat on the gangplank Dorian fumes a second, more over the timing of the demon's prank than the act it's self. Verbal sparring is a high art form in the social circles of the Dynasty's elite so reposts were expected. But the pratfall caused the Altess TW to miss his window to hijack the shuttles controls before the planetary air traffic AI could. Brute force is out, guess I'll do something tricky eyeing the schematics for the docks he finds where the water resupply pipes run under the deck. While he waits for his moment he address' the ships Captain.

"Don't stand there gawking like a halfwit. Get inside! And tell your statesmen to prepare my luggage immediately. Also, I will not be recommending the cuisine. Champagne from a keg? Really?!"

"Ducky how does your sight do with negative energy sources? I will mark the Nicks and you tell me if anything registers for you."

A radiant wave of light, heat, and sound wash out from the gangplank. Every individual attracts or deflects a certain of amount of the energy. The vampires collect the eheat and energy, making a deadspace along with a very definite chill.

Sera, finally suited up runs out of the KinK and scans for where all the fighting is going on. Not seeing it anywhere around, she finally hears the noise of combat from above. She looks a bit frustrated, over the radio, "How am I supposed to get way up there? not like I can fly!"

She starts moving towards the star port.

Voss heres Sera and decides that if Ducky registers anything at all, she will let him know.

Picking up her energy signature, Voss sights in on Sera and pulls up a phasing rift ten feet in front of her. The rift exits on the gangplank near Dorian and Mr. Givens.

"Sera, come on up and keep Dorian in line."

Sera, running for the port, suddenly finds a rift in front of her. She tries to put on the breaks, so to speak. "Aaahh... *zapp*" Her likely profane words are muffled as she fails to stop and enters the portal of reaches unknown to her. Fortunately for her, she didn't exit running off the end of the gangplank.

Vrothuss feels a pop as SERA enters the rift and is deposited beside him on the gangplank. The portal snaps shut behind her as she works to regain her balance.

Voss reaches back and steadies SERA with a hand on her shoulder.

"SERA, maybe you and Givens can keep Dorian from falling into any further danger."

Ducky grins happy to have everyone together. She ducks under Fancy Dan’s vibro rapier. The Dan calls out gesturing to the starship and its gangplank, ” Damn you! This noble was supposed to be sooo lazy no one liked him!”

Ducky slides her Atless crafted Evicerator under the man’s armpit, and with her free hand she knocks to the rapier to the ground. Swiftly she releases him and kicks his legs from out beneath him. Like a cat toying with a toy she smiles, ” Sorry Dan, he is not lazy, just much of the galaxy is beneath his notice. Beside he is our noble.”

Fancy Dan scampers away as do many of the Dannies left aliave and their magaversal legion. It seems today was not the day to trifle with the crew of the Sovergn.

Ducky sighs asking the others, ” Perhaps we should reconvien and go over our current mission and bring Mr. Givens and Voss up to speed.” I would have included Dorian in those two but I suspect he already knows twice as much as the rest of us. Per usual he will let us muddle arround and swoop in saving the day last minute.

Cursing under his breath when the remaining vampires make their escape as he'd hoped to get the last of the Eaters cronies. With the master gone hopefully their influence in that legion squad had been broken and it would be a while before they troubled him again. Focusing on the task at hand, he shuts down his brute force hack of the planetary air traffic server. The infiltration had not been subtle and most anything he did would leave easy to find traces so he waited to look up the flight data of the missing royal. As it was the cyber attack would be blamed on the mercs as part of their raid, best to keep it that way.

"Yes we really should seek privacy, no need to spend the day answering the inane questions of the security forces. Who knows how much longer their hackers will hold off the alarms. Not long one could assume." Slinging his gun Dorian stands, checking the readouts on his wrist computer, "Not long at all. So, is there a shack or hovel they've allowed you to stay in, where shall I have our effects sent? Or is this a day trip?"

Stowing his own weapon the combat butler turns to great Sera "Greeting Miss Sera, I hope you have been well. It really is wonderful to see you all again."" Mr. Givens then walks up the plank to grab an armload of their gear and luggage.

"We are literally the only crew that has a side show." Voss points back at all the "junk" Givens is carrying.

"While I am glad you arrived when you did, wouldn't it have made more sense just to leave your things on board the Sovereign?"

Dramatically pausing, then sweeping his arm out towards Ducky and SERA, "Like the rest of the crew?"

"The rest of the crew is not forced to periodically return home, which is on the exact opposite end of known space from here. So I take necesities, like repeir parts for Mr. Givens and my equipment as well as parts for anything I may need to invent in the feild. Various testing equipment for my experiments would do me little good in a presentation to my fellow Lord Directors were I to leave it behind. And I also brought some things for the upkeep and inprovement of the Sovereign, a fresh supply of wine and a new wardrobe. So yes, really all quite necessary." He points to various crates and luggage, some of which is in the robots arms, the rest is being placed on a dolly by the ships porters.

Completely ignoring Dorian, Voss walks over to Givens.

Squuezing Givens arms, "Givens, did Mr. Falstaff here, replace your stabilizers or maybe give you a cosmetic upgrade, 'cuz DAMN you are looking buff. Like you plussed up your carrying capacity. Impressive. You must have been working out with all the "necessities" Mr. Falstaff has you bring to and fro."

Leaving Givens, Voss walks back to Ducky and SERA, "Dorian needs to be penalized for delay of game, say 75% of earnings from this job and the next three. We honestly can not proceeed anywhere with any amount of stealth or composure with all his "things". We might as well convene our meeting, right here in the open."

Turning back to Dorian, "Might as well reload the shuttle you came in on. The Sovereign is docked in a space port." To emphasize, Voss summons a viewing port that reveals the Sovereign docked outside of the atmosphere of their current planetary location.

Looking thru Vrothuss' viewport Dorian flips open his helm, his eyes are wide and mouth open in a O.

I certainly hope this high tech, vacation paradise has things like robot porter shuttles to ferry things about. Speaking of where we are, whom do you think will stick out more on this playground for the wealthy. The nobleman with the expected amount of baggage or the hell spawn whose dressed in garbage and smells like he's been sleeping in a fecal reclaimator?" Rolling his eyes at the Gemini "Really, you make it too easy sometimes. But seriously, I do have some things you can borr.. have. So you're not completely out of place. "

Looking down at his computer, "And we REALLY should be going." He leads Mr. Givens down the gangplank and towards Kink.

Ducky sighs powering down her cosmic forge lent armor and whispers, ” Fine, lets get back there and go over the mission details. You guys will never believe who got kidnapped.,,” On the way to fine upstanding whore house she chats up Givens and Voss filling them in. Dorian’s probably too busy counting to five or trying to figure out how to dispel all those dimentional air locks Voss set up around the ship last go.

” We got contracted by this rock guy Kugarian, to find their wayward prince. If it weren’t so obvious they were not Dorian’s people I would have assumed it was Dorian himself who went missing...” Ducky stops walking mis step as an idea flew into her head by the forge itself. ” Forge!

"Yes, he does have a habit of going rogue. An unfortunate flaw many of the Family posses. While I would not presume to speak for the Lord Director, if this would place him in additional danger it would make me uncomfortable. But so do these sojourns outside of the Dynasty in general."

Most of Dorians thoughts are working out the slow worm program he was going to use to get the flight telemetry of the Princes vessel from the planetary flight control center but he still caught Ducky's suggestion. "Actually quite a good idea Ducky. This will of course require I visibly enjoy the wonderful offerings of the world. Preferably in some of the same places our lost princeling visited and to spread the word which direction I'll be heading on departure. Then they come to us." Fiddling around with his wrist computer a bit, "I should be able to get his flight plan in 24 hours or so. @@Sera how influential is your friend? If she has pull with accounting I may be able to fund this ruse and make myself a more worthwhile target."

Voss had set one of his "other" selves to walk with Ducky and Sera to their meeting destination. He has mastered the art of porting, rather stealthly.

When @Sera points out that "Voss" not step into the oilbath, is when Voss reappears about five feet away leaning against the wall.

He has changed his clothes and is wearing an outfit that makes him look like a rich aristocrat albiet he has red skin

"Let us get last known locations for our quarry. If need be we can port our way through those locations."

While a prick Dorian is not too full of himself to give credit where it's due. "Nice trick, real even. Did you also conjure customs documents? With the minion war going on an undocumented demon teleporting around may raise eyebrows. Really the teleporting in general. Relax and act like you're enjoying yourself. Play the part Vrothuss. Who knows you might actually have fun by accident. I'll rig you an ID after I have freshened up."

Voss laughs emptily at Dorian's sense of humor. "My species is well liked most anywhere we go except Splynn and the blazing levels of Hell."

Pausing for a moment, a sharp crackle of energy, and Voss has in his hands customs documents. Anyone getting close enough to see, realizes they are Dorian's documents. "I believe I have the necessary certification, for now."

Standing straight from leaning on the wall, you really should invest in a portal and let Givens d his own thing. Voss begins drawing in the air. One four foot horisontal line above his head. Another four foot horizontal line on above the floor at ankle level. The two line he then connects with a nearly six foot line. To either side of the six foot vertical line, Voss draws two circle.

Sticking his hands inside the circles, two doors open outwards. With the doors open Voss leans inside and snaps his fingers. Lights come on and a well organized storage room can now bee seen. Lockers. Shelves, Racks for clothing. Even a few pieces of equipment or maybe tools sit in the last corner.

"Really Dorian. This is the New Age and get with the program."

As Dorian details the Mr. Givens AI complexity, somewhere inside Sera's own software, she feels a bit of sadness at him not being a fully sentient AI.

"The first person on the list is a security agent of the corporation that owns this planet, Tox. Mansriel suggested that he should be able to help us track down any surveillance footage if it exists. Boss was going to check out his office when she ran into the Dannies. I guess that is where we are at right now."

Sera looks down the list to see what other names might be on it.

"As much as I would love to run around and flaunt wealth to attract kidnappers I don't think that's our case." As he expounds Dorian begins to take of his armor, examining each piece for damage before handing it to Mr. Givens to be cleaned and put into one of the large cases they brought. " There has been no call for a ransom or a rescue. So if it's a kidnapping the motive isn't money. It could be a raid gone wrong. Or a raid by beings like the genetechs or splugorth. Also there are more Dominators in this galaxy than the other two combined. Or the guy decided to not return home and faked the call, done that myself. Or despite their reputation on of them has picked up habits of deceit and stands to gain from the situation.It would be worth researching his peoples power structure despite any claims they're somehow all above treachery. Also any recent attacks in this area of space and their causes if known." Ending up in just a body suit the Altess noble is slim but fit, he turns towards the bathroom after pulling an outfit out of a case leaving with, "I suppose, on top of hacking air traffic and acting as bait I can manage that. I really don't know what you all do without me." and he closes the door to clean up and change.

Dorian is not half wrong. We need more information. Ducky Boss nods basically agreeing with everyone and knowing Dorian as bait is the last option or perhaps the groups eventual end game. ” What it comes down to is we need more information. Sera is on the right path. Let’s meet with Tox and see where that leads too.” She checks her gear briefly. ” I’ll be in the lobby when everyone is ready. Givens keep Dorian on schedule please.”

She bit her tongue about Givens’ sentience needing the team to focus. The ship needed repairs, and they needed food. Despite Dorian’s proclamation he did not have his own thing she knew better: Dorian was just too lazy to realize new life when was looking back at him.

The group is at a point where many different avenues of investigation are tempting. Please describe what your character does, and make a dramatic task roll at a -2. You can use whatever trait you think is reasonable provided it makes sense narratively. The group needs 5 successes. Anything above or below that will adjust the results accordingly.

When Givens informs Dorian of the outing he tasks the butler with researching the Mekakur, their customs and how their government works as he showers. So the robot slots his computer skill chip, grabs the spare lap top and gets to work.

When Dorian exits the bathroom cleaned and clothed in finery Mr. Givens begins to regal him with tales from the species storied history. The inventor cuts him off. "Stick to governmental arrangements and any proof the are capable of duplicity." He only half listens, knowing it will all be repeated later anyways as he straps on his pistol and other gear beneath and inside his jacket. He begins piecing together the worm program he plans to use to infiltrate the planetary security, the Codex making suggestions and stitching together the worm. By the time he reaches the lobby he's ready to make the initial attack. He does so as he walks up to Ducky and Sera.

So with we eat I can work and Givens can regale us with tales of rock people." Meanwhile the worm was working admirably, cutting thru the Pleasure Corps Naruni IC like butter, compiling data on the princes ship it's arrival, departure, flight plans, actual flight telemetry in case that didn't match the registered flight plan, the identity of any ship leaving around that time that couls have met up with it, as well as any distress signal air traffic had fielded for the last year and their causes. It was going to be a long day but the worm would do most of the work at this point, Dorian just had to do spot check and occasional adjustments.

"It would be my great pleasure sir. It is quite interesting Ladies, their history and culture is quite unique..."

"As I said earlier, please stick to the relevant sections Mr. Givens."

"Let me give this Tox a call and arrange a meeting."

Sera goes over to the phone and calls him up using the information given.

Tox: "Hello?"

Sera: "Greeting, is this the office of security agent Tox?"

Tox: "Yes..."

Sera: "My name is Sera and I would like to meet with you about a recent incident. My friend..." She pauses for a second, "Mansriel gave me your number and said you might be able to help us."

Tox: "One moment... please."

At the drop of Mansriel's name, Tox double checks the location of the person that just called him. oh my god, they are calling from Mansriel's place. He starts thinking about the possibilities of helping, Mansriel's friend. He starts making an access pass so this girl can come meet him. Now that he is interested, he takes a double look at the person calling him. oh my god, she's a vision herself.

Tox: "I'll send you an access pass right now."

Sera: "About that, can I get a few more. I have some friends with me *wink*"

Tox: "Sure. sure. How many do you need"

Sera looks over at the group in the other room.

Sera: "Two others, at least. Maybe a couple more."

Tox nods in anticipation of meeting with Sera. He modifies the access pass to allow up to 5 people.

Tox: "Alright, You can bring up to 4 other people, besides yourself."

The call ends.

Sera comes back into the other room. "Alright. I arranged a meeting with Tox."

A familiar darkness rises at the edge of what is known. An old friend now turned deadly foe awaits. A confrontation born of sins past and hope eternal has come to this pleasure planet.
Ducky smiles and nods to those going to see Tox, ” I’ll meet you there but first I must settle up with a disturbance.” She walks out with her weapons in hand and armor righted ready for the theater of war. Across her back a sheild with the sigil of the cosmos.

A few moments later she atrides into a dark alley bring light to bear where none had existed. True she was no cosmo knight but her will to return to that former glory was undeniable. Still though the alley had one creeping dark spot that could not be cleansed.

She whispered the name of her foe, one of Darkstar’s top Blackgaurd’s men, ” D-man...”

The high pitched prattle seemed to surround her and come from a few meters in front of her simultaneously, ” Haha. Ducky... Ducky... What brings you here. CirtInly not a missing crown prince? Come now you don’t think you were the only ones dispatched? Hahaha, somethings in this universe are so far beneath me but tarnishing your name and your crews good will is not one.”

The darkness pauses soaking in its own words before continuing unabated never tiring of the garbage it spewed forth. It was hard for Ducky to get a bead on the roaming darkness as it flittered arround the alley. The darkness voice was so enhanced that it created interfering waves that distrupted Ducky’s radar vision. Six more seconds and I’ll have you.

The voice kept it up, kept talking, kept wasting its breath, ” Seems my kinsman has joined, or rather rejoined your motly crew... Now I know I know...” The voice is cut short abruptly.

So,etimes it pays to put your heart into it. Ducky’s hand strikes out choking the darkness by the throat. The man she caught was about 5’ 11” in dark robes. Humanish and good looking by those that could see. He had eyes of limpid pools of blue that some said they could drown in. Even choked out, half afriad his face still had that Atless “I am board” look to it.

Ducky sneared having no love for the man, or perhaps at one point too much love that was loss, Damion... You will tell me what I need to know. Yes, I heard you... You know. Who hired you? What have you uncovered about the prince so far? Tell me and by the forge you will be left to scuttle back to Darkstar with what little pride you ever had.”

How could I have ever loved you...

In the end Ducky makes the randevous for Tox although seems to remain quiet as if the disturbance she encountered gave her something to think about.

A sudden blurring in the air begins to solidify into a rippling effect as a Que steps out from the ripples. Staggering a bit he stumbles against Ducky and looks around. "Boss! I am back, how long was I gone?"

Que cannot believe he is back already, it felt like an eternity trying to figure out where he was pulled to or what had happened. After helping Que fight off some faeries, tiny annoying little bastards. But instead of popping back right to where he was, somehow he was shunted onto an empty ship in the deep astral and every time he tried to jump out he was pulled back. that must have been where another Que was from, because it sure wasn't his starting point.

"So what did I miss boss, do we have a new job, or are we still looking for rocks?"

Vrothuss hits the streets and gets a good idea of where the Rockman was last seen. He discovers that he spent a good chunk of his time at The Oasis, the most exclusive hotel on the planet, as well as Kink. Oddly enough, one of the last places he was seen was at a local watering hole called "Mirage" a hangout for the Altess that inhabit the planet.

Ducky smashes the Altess with little effort, but is still perplexed by his words "The package is gone", whatever that means

As Dorian's worms go to work, he Ducky and Sera head to their meet up with Tox. Sera has thoroughly charmed the security man, so much so that a private car is waiting for them outside of Kink. The quartet (with Mr. Givens naturally) are speedily moved throughout the sprawling metropolis, the automated vehicle given the highest level of priority. A soft little shake and the vehicle takes to the sky, smoothly moving toward one of the spiraling towers that dot the land. It lands on top of the building, a small flight of stairs forming from a piece of the vehicle to allow them to exit with dignity. Tox lays on the charm as best as he can, but is easily convinced to hand over all of the relevant surveilliance footage, giving Sera high quality 3-D imagery that traces the rock man's steps. It appears that he was last seen at a high end bar called "Mirage" and after that he took a drone ship back to his private vessel, and wasn't seen since. As the group departs Que suddenly appears as if he never went missing

In the mean time, Dorian's worm is chewing through the local network with a vengeance. By the time they even land he has the precise location where the rock man's ship was last seen, and have several trajectories plotted where it may have gone since it left the planet's notice. Incidentally he comes across a few messages from the local Altess gossip mill, referring to a missing package, something about a courier gone missing.

Vrothuss finds a secluded corner on the way to the Mirage. Setting very still he begins feeling for any Ley Line energy in the area. @Stoic I need to make a call to the others ( @Ducky and @Sera ). (TLPG 37 for reference)

The skies are clear and no magic in sight. oss stands up and readjusts his fancy clothes. Wouldn't do to show up kled. It would just give @Dorian Falstaff one more thing to nitpick.

Voss pats and smooths out the wrinkles and creases in his fancy clothes. As he runs his hands over the pockets on the side of his long coat he notices anfamiliar bulge. Sticking his hand inside the particular pocket, his hand grasps a small cylinder. "What the ..."

Well this must have been stuck in the pocket of the man he "borrowed" the fancy clothes from. "Borrowed" maybe the incorrect term, as the pirates that boarded his vessl did space him in his unders.

Voss took the cylinder in hand and shook it up and down. the canister rattled and buzzed and even sparked, flashed, and smoked. Certainly something mechanical and technical. Definetly Dorian's thing.

Voss decides to find someone with planet security and get directions to Tox's office.

Annoyed by the tone Dorian uses, the teenager smirks a bit. "Dude, what makes you think I am human, or was raised by them? You need to pay more attention." Good to know they are on the same mission, finding a prince should be easy.

A large combat robot then takes the opportunity to greet Que. "Please excuse the Lord Director, we have yet to have lunch and he can be combative when peckish. I am glad you are well Mr. Que.

Pulling a handful of granola bars out of his pocket that could not possibly have been there a moment before. "Oh, well yeah I guess that can happen. If you want I have some granola bars." Not feeling annoyed anymore. Maybe the guys had defective genetics and was diabetic or something? Meh, my creator could have fixed that problem.

Listening to the story he says. "Oh, cool. So you know I cannot really call you Verotus every time. mind if I call you V or do you have another moniker?" It is obvious from his tone that mispronunciation of the name was not deliberate.

@Que gets the feeling that time and space seem to stop when he calls out Vrothuss' name.

Vrothuss looks at Que, "Voss or V works."

The moment Que looks away from Voss, he finds himself snapped back into Tox's office where the rest of the crew is or will be.

Waking Dream
Through the view port Ducky sees Dorian’s grinning face floating by frozen in the bleakness of space. His head has been lobotomized and behind him Given’s mangled form bumps into it.
Wht is going on? The ship buckles and a gout of flame erupts beneath her feet.
Ducky’s eye’s fly awake! She places a hand near @Que and smiles at her protégées ally like return, ” Easy Que remember your training. It was specific in purpose. I am glad you have returned at the right moment. We are indeed looking for a missing prince. I believe the information Tox a local security agent gave us was most illuminating and pointed us to a hangout that the Atless frequent.”

She lowers her voice and steps close to Que. the worry is evident in her soft words to her most trusted ally, ” Did you step into the future? I keep seeing the crew... The ship... Everyone dead.”

"Mirage then?"

"We could expedite travel if the magic of this planet were not all gathered over there." to emphasize, Voss points out a distance where the red hues of the sun are mixing with the blue hes of ley line energy creating a purple swath across the sky.

" @Dorian Falstaff, Mr. Givens will give us all a lift over to the Mirage. I am in no mood to wrinkle my finery further."

Climbing on Mr. Givens back, he says, "I am certainly lighter than all that junk he has you auling around all the time."

Extending his hand to @Sera, "Come it should be a luxurious ride."

Ducky frowned not exactly looking at @Vrothuss but also noting his treatment of Givens. " No offense Voss, but is Something wrong with your legs?" Having escaped slavery she was none too keen on treatment that abused her fellow crew mates. Still she was relatively new to he inner workings of the galaxy and perhaps Voss was unable to walk. After all she once ran into a strange creature crippled beyond repair by a wasting illness.

Other than that she makes sure her mates are ready for the journey to Mirage and then sets off with purpose and pride to be working with a crew worth notation in the annuls of the galactic forge.

"My legs work fine. Just pointing out that Mister High and Mighty over here wants to treat Mr. Givens as an inanimate object when he is clearly more, well maybe we need to respect Lord Farquad's insistence and treat Mr. Givens as just a tool."

"As a tool, he was clearly made for heavy labor, so carrying a few of us should not be outside his parmeters."

Turning to look back at Mr. Givens, "How is my logic?"

Ducky nods both agreeing that the long road is well worth it and with Que’s assessment. As she hits the door she briefly turns to her apprentice clueing him in on a lesson she learned long ago, ” It maybe quicker, but the knowledge we gain from our journey will be telling and if we were to shorten it by a display of awesome power we would learn less.” Her smile widens, ” To put it another way. Save the teleport until things get really dire.”

"Actually Mr. Vrothus this is a state of the art combat frame designed to be the equal or superior of the famed Naruni Repobots. The Lord Director has upgraded my frame and systems several times over the decades to increase my efficacy and survivability. As well as to test new systems of his own design. These and other equipment, repairs and lodging that I receive as his retinue are the equivalent of what would be quite an exorbitant salary. If you wish, and if Lord Dorian does not object I will certainly carry you, as rendering aid and protection to the crew of the Sovereign is one of my primary directives. However I must note that it would be unseemly and is already drawing stares."

Looking up from his computer the Altess rolled is eyes emphatically. " By all means, tote the fool around. However perhaps a basinette would better match his tone and world view. I've arranged a taxi since most people find randomly appearing groups of misfits to be disconcerting. Perhaps however we should find clothing for the young Que that he hadn't been wearing for what smells.like weeks before we attend a fancy establishment."

At the mention of clothes, again, Voss draws the outline of his dimensional closet. Opening the doors, he motions for @que to step on in.

"There is a refresher over there and a shower over there. Since his stature and status are in question, we will outfit you so as not to offend his Lordship further."

Voss lays out some clothes and then draws back a privacy curtain, to show @Que where the refresher and shower are.

Laughing a little Que nods as the blood dried on him falls to the ground, filth unable to stick to his armor. His body and shape suddenly changing from the normal armor he wears to a fine well fitting silk suit with stylized black silk letting written into the hems. "I done assassination missions before. i know how to fit in." His words betrayed by the fact that even his new appearance lacks an arm.

Looking Que over critically Dorian gives a barely perceivable nod of approval before going back analyzing the data from his worm. "I have the last know trajectory at which his ship left the planet and have extrapolated several probable alterations of course he may have taken, should the first prove fruitless." He then begins an in depth analysis of the security footage.

Ducky pauses looking to keep the team focused as they head to the den of lethargic uncaring Atless. No doubt a party of debaturchy barely legal and would make the professionals at Kink blush. Times like these I am glad my creators made me blind.

Not that she was the mother hen or even in charge but she did feel the urge to remind her friends what they were about and why they left The Remosrseless. Her naivety was probably evident as probably everyone had their own reason and was not her altruistic one. ” No assasinations, we are all equals Given’s included and Dorian barely.” She cracked a smile at her own dig at Dorian. Long ago the two had come to an abrupt understanding. ” Let’s remember, we are the good guys. It’s why I left the Remorseless and I Hope in some part all of you wanted your lives to mean something. Sure we get paid most of the time. But what I could not stand was not taking the jobs that needed doing but did not have enough creds.”

She sighs trying to consentrate on getting to the Mirage. The words of D-man letting her know the package was gone was still fresh in her mind. She mutters really to anyone in war shot Dorian included, ” What did that tool mean by The Package Was Gone... Are we missing a package? Is the prince the package or something else.” She rubs her forehead already feeling the effects of another sleepless night.

"Hmm, you heard something about that too? I came across mention of a package and messenger gone missing over social media and we may be able to learn more at the Mirage. From where did you hear of it? Comparing sources may help figure the truth of the matter and any relevance to our job." Dorian doesn't even look up from setting up programs to rapidly play thru the records and establish movements and times lines.

Sera feels some type of respect for Mr. Givens, likely due to them both being robots, even though she believes she is a human. "I'm sorry, Voss, I couldn't do that to Mr. Givens."

She quietly watches as the others quarrel with each other.

Looking over at Que, "The prince may be 'the package'." She uses her fingers to make air quotes when she says the package.
