Zank the old spacer that he is is used to sudden shifts of weight and gravity changes. The same kinds of shift are acutally very similar to toddler running into ones knee's. It does catch him by suprise though and he has to naturally steady himself. The little child impacting on the brown leather of his duster. He stops and looks down. He raises and eyebrow and looks the child over "Well hello there..." he says crouching down to the childs height. He looks around for the child parent. Seeing Sanoh hurrying after the child. He smirks. <English>
The little girl stares straight back at Zank, silent but fearless. Her poor beleaguered mother finally catches up, leaning forward on her knees and red in the face. "Nim, what have I told you about staying close to Mommy?" Looking up at Zank with some embarrassment, she bows her head apologetically and switches to English. <Chinese>
"I'm so sorry, sir. Kids, you know..." She has a distinctly Sihnonian accent, but her words are enunciated and clear. <English>
Zank uses his Mandarin "Its fine" he says switching back to english <Chinese>
Assuming the ramp is open and down, a large figure of a man appears at the top of said ramp. He's older, tall, muscular. Has an Eyepatch and plenty of scars to match the injury, but a beard and mustache attempt to cover up the rough patches on his leathery skin. He looks over towards Zank with a single crimson eye, placing a cigar between his lips and lighting it with a Zippo. It's black with a gold wagon wheel etched into it. He watches the two parents and their children silently, not commenting on anything. <English>
A tiny woman of Thai descent, this woman almost doesn't look big enough to be as pregnant as she is. She's only 4'11, with a round, girlish face and sweet rosy cheeks. She has coarse black hair tied back under a colorful scarf and cheerful dark eyes. Her smile reveals a pair of buck teeth, and her nose is smattered with freckles. She has rough hands and a strong posture. She wears a faded red suea pat and simple black chong kraben with sturdy sandals, which gives her a very bumpkinish look. She wears no makeup and no jewelry.
Zank grins standing. He feels like he towers over the women but he remain pleasnt. "Got little one of my own not much younger i imagine." he says "She's knocked me in the knees a fair amount once she learned to walk" he says. He offers her his hand "Zank Line's" he says. <English>
Sanoh gives a little smile when Zank mentions he has his own kid, a measure of trust emerging. She takes his hand firmly in her own and shakes it once. "Sanoh Nk. This is Nim. Say hello, sweetie." Nim doesn't say anything, simply looks up at Kyoshiro with another of her silent stares. Sanoh also notices the man emerged from the ship, and nods his way politely. "Good to meet you." <English>
The Churara Commander gives a nod as well in greeting. He was the quiet type to strangers but he wasn't devoid of manners. Which is why he chose to smoke away from the two so that the children may breath fresh air... if anything could be called fresh air on Beaumonde. Hell, the Tobacco smoke was probably cleaner than the pollutants from the factories. <English>
The nod seems to content Sanoh, but Nim points a little finger up at Kyoshiro's daisho. "What's that?" <Chinese>
Zank grins looking at the child and then to Kyo "You seem t' have a fan Kyo." he says chuckling. <English>
Kyoshiro glances over to Nim who seems to be pointing at his sword pair. He looks down at it and raises his brows. "It's called a Daisho Sword Pair. A longer Tachi or Katana. And a shorter Wakizashi. It is a Samurai Tradition." His voice is eep and raspy. Masculine if not mono-tone. <English>
Nim's eyebrows furrow a little, and she looks back at her mother uncertainly. "They're swords," Sanoh explains, face still flushed but her stance a little more relaxed now. She folds her arms and shrugs at the other two. <Chinese>
"Sorry, her English isn't the best yet." <English>
Zank chuckles "Ant no problem, my Chinese tends t' sound like it ran through a engine, but they are swords an sharp as they get." he says chuckling "What bring ya t' Beaumonde mrs. Nk?" he asks <English>
"One was made by a swordsmith on Sihnon, a Lord Roksuboro Michiba. Not a very nice man..." Kyoshiro says, "The Wakizashi was made by Kyronis Bledsoe on Jiangyin. An Extrodinary man of Character and strength. He also made my knife..." He reaches over and loops a finger through the loop on his knife's hilt, pulling it from the scabbards and twirling it around before returning it. He smirks slightly and Nim. "No problem. Languages are hard. I only know three, Four and am learning one more..." He frows at that thoought as if it was linked to some great sadness. <English>
Sanoh 's smile falters very slightly, apparently uncertain of what to say. "I was just...looking for someone." She watches as Nim waddles over to touch an inspect the brass buttons on Kyoshiro's coat. "None of you have heard of a man named Keo Akkarat, have you?" She shrugs uncomfortably, shifting the burden on her back. "It seems you're a man of great learning, Mr...?" <English>
Zank shakes his head slightly "Ant heard of him sorry t' say..." he says and then lets Kyo answer. <English>
Kyoshiro seems to leave the conversation for a moment, his eye drifting away and looking distant as if trying to search for a ghost in the crowded spaceport. Then Nim pulling at his greatcoat snaps his attention back. He looks down at the child and raises his brows. "Found something else interesting. You like shiney things, yeah?" He looks over to his mother and gives a small and sheepish smile. "Kyoshiro Mibu, Voivode to the Vitsi Rarti Satarma and High Commander of the Kris Shena' Churara..." He holds out his hand in the proper way to greet someone. "And I'm smarter than some and dumber than others." <English>
Zank blinks and looks at Kyo. "I never actually heard you say the whole title..." he says off hand <English>
seems thoroughly taken aback as the huge man introduces himself, eyebrows raising with every title offered. "I...wow! Forgive me, Mr. Mibu...er, High Commander...Mibu." She remembers herself and trudges over to shake his hand. "I've never been honored enough to meet someone so...esteemed." She finds the words with some difficulty, obviously more comfortable in Chinese herself, as evidenced when she chides Nim for bothering Kyoshiro. <English>
"Nim, those are an important man's buttons, leave them for him." The child looks up at her mother, asking, "What does he do?" <Chinese>
"Well..." Kyoshiro says to Zank, "It's not the ful title. There's Rom Baro of Bar Valo, LLC and of course Captain of The Peacemaker, First Mate of the Koibito No Tachi, and Crewmember on the Jia. Sensei at teh Sanctuary... I've too many titles. I'll stick to the most important two. The others give me a headache." He looks back to Nim and his mother. He shakes his head, "It's fine. I ant that important." To the child he answers, "I'm in charge of all the Churara for the Kris Shena Romani. The Largest incorperation of Roma clans in the 'verse. I make sure they are protected because a lot of them are pacifists and don't believe in ever self defence." He takes out his time pieces that dangles around in his pocket of his breeches... "I've got a conference call if you all will excuse me." He puts the time piece bak and then rips one of his buttons of his greatcoat. He tosses it towards Nim, "Here ya go kid." Then giving a nod to Sanoh and Zank he moves back up the ramp of the Jia. <English>
Nim deftly catches the button against her chest, looks down at it with widening eyes, and then looks up at her mother with a triumphant smile. Sanoh laughs and sighs, looking up at Kyoshiro. "Thank you, sir." She looks down at Nim. "Say thank you." And this time the child obliges. "Xiexie!" <Chinese>
Zank looks at Sanoh and honestly isnt sure what to say for a second. He just looks between them. "He's really good guy actually..." he says watching him go. "Just alot on his sholders at the moument." he says looking back at Sanoh "Sorry we couldnt be of help finding your missin man." he says <English>
So, Life Line and Hope House resources were very helpful, providing the personnel records of all the people facial recognition pulled as being on duty during the time where all shipments should've been loaded. Based on some matrix created by someone (ya'll know who) they also provided the statistics for on which days facial recognition finds them hanging out and at what time using local city cameras. It shows that they all gather at TDB, at night for drinks and cards. A certain white haired hacker however couldn't meet up with people as agreed upon for breakfast and plans, apologies sent by one of the nurses and something about his being ill. But the information was provided.
Dr Rojo has shown up, dressed in jeans, boots, a black leather jacket and her hair in that messy ponytail but she's been a bit silent, so quiet it almost could be mistaken for her being nice sometimes as she interacts with Kyo and McGuire. Everyone has been given the pictures of the 4 men 'Ronnie' a large red head. 'Betty' a male brunette with facial piercings. 'Marco' a large asian man with green hair. And 'Hella', a large and quite tall blond woman. They mostly blend in with the spacer crowd but those with a keen eye might see them congregating near the bar, getting the drinks as they joke around and consider which table to shove up at. <English>
McGuire follows Zank and Kyo to the bar. He squints as he looks the place over, not seeing anything that stands out. "I hope they serve coffee here. I don't think I can do another night of drinking." He says to those near him. <English>
Kyoshiro enters first, moving over to the gun locker to deposit his carried items. He was a proponant of property rights and respected the owners wishes to not have anyone armed inside the bar. Also, guns and booze didn't really sit well together and logically shouldn't. His swords and his pistol, none of which required a license or were illegal for him to carry. That's all he had and all he deposited. Say what other's will but Beaumonde was as rough if nor rougher than Persephone could be and having a weapon was probably a good option just for doing a bit of grocery shopping. The Churara High Commander, dressed in his civilian clothing starts down the stairs, cigar still between his lips. He notices the four warehouse attendants in question and nods to Fao and Zank attempting to point them out in a low key way. "I'm sure they do. You can always just get a virgin bloody marry." <English>
Zank walks in next to the other. HIs pistol getting deposited as well as his knifes and another small pistol in his belt. Ok fine and the knife in his boot. He looks at Kyo "A Virgin what...?" he asks <English>
McGuire frowns, pulling the pistol hidden in a shoulder holster and deposits it. "Tomato juice." He says to Zank. He looks where Kyo tries to indicate and shrugs, "You have the lead Mibu. Your our interigator here." <English>
Kyoshiro steps down into the main area and cracks his neck by wringing it around a bit. Then approaching the group he puts down a credit slip and pushes it towards the bar keep. "Next round for these four is on me." Kyoshiro dosn't make any effort to hide his face, change his accent. He looks upon the four of them with that red eye of his. "How's it going?" <English>
Zank takes a seat on the far side of the men. He orders his own drink and sits listening as Kyo takes the lead. <English> McGuire steps in behind Kyo to the bar and waits for Kyo to make his order. Stepping up to the bar, he orders a coffee and puts his credits on the bar. As Kyo looks at the table with the four, Fao turns to face the bartender and listen to the conversation Kyo starts. He glances Zank and trys to keep his back to the table for the moment. <English>
Hella turns to regard Kyoshiro for a moment, and the other three look around her at Kyoshiro and his Posse (The Old man, Hot Doctor, and Zank) and they shrug easily enough. Free drinks are free drinks. There is a pause though as Ronnie stares at McGuire for a moment as if seeing a ghost and then offers a sheepish grin and lifts his own pint in greeting to the men. "We're doin' just fine sugar." Come Hella's honeyed tones. "Better now that we're making new friends. Ain't seen you around here...before." <English>
Kyoshiro smirks just a bit at Hella and her greeting. "Well sweetheart. We travel around a bit, don't think we made it in here that much." He turns to lean his back against the bar top. "So you all work around here, yeah? One of the Warhouses close by?" <English>
Zank continues to stay quiet watching and looking unthreatening as he can. He gets his drink and takes a sip. He looks to the behind the Bar at a Cortex link. <English>
McGuire notices the stares, turning to face the table where the four sit. He gets a hot cup of coffee placed before him on the bar and takes it in hand. Leaning his back against the bar beside Kyo and listens. He looks back at Ronnie a moment, running through his mind if he's ever seen that face before. He says nothing at the moment, letting Kyo do all the talking. <English>
"Hmm. Wouldn't you like to know?" Hella purrs softly before Marco grunts and speaks up. "Ya'll lookin' for work?" And then Ronnie blurts out. "They can't work Marco, that's /you. know/ who/." Then Betty just stomps on his foot real hard as they just look at each other and then look back to Kyoshiro and Gang almost suspiciously. <English>
Kyoshiro glances to Ronnie and deadpans at him then looks back to Hellan. He pulls out a stack of cash and places it on the bar top. "Say we are looking for work, and you are folks who work in a warehouse... You wouldn't happen to know about any return shipments having gone missing?" <English>
Zank glances at Kyo at the directness of the question. He just looks back to the cortex box and sips his drink. He looks at the others breifly and then contunes to listen. <English>
McGuire lowers his head and says soft enough for Kyo to hear, "I shoulda stayed outside." He pulls a deep breath and looks back at the four with a smile. His tone is calm and even, "Busted." He tells them with that smile on his face. He adds, "A recall crate of bad drugs to be percise." He takes a sip of his coffee and turns to the bartender, "This is pretty good. Thanks." Then takes another sip as he turns back to the table of four. <English>
Whisper Whisper, shove...bump. Ronnie and Betty seem to be communicating with grunts and shakes of the head as Hella and Marco turn their attention to the three men and shake their own heads. Hella takes the lead. "Missing...Shipments? Oh come now sugar, do you think even if we knew about something messed up like that, we'd tell you? This can't be your first rodeo." <English>
Kyoshiro puts another stack down on top of the other one. His face turns from sweet to stern and cold "It's not my first Rodeo... so let's get this streight. Tak the money, you tell us what we want to know. Because otherwise, you know we'll have to come back and use another option. That option isn't so nice." If she didn't want to play games, he was done doing that too. <English>
Zank stops looking at the cortex screen and looks at the 4 workers. He takes another sip of the drink and puts it down with a thud. He leans in a littel closer to the group. Makeing his presences known. <English>
McGuire steps off the bar to the side of the table of the four. He takes an empty chair from the nearby table and spins it around to place the back agaist the table of four, right between Ronnie and Betty. He steps forward and straddles the chair and looks from one to the other beside him. His tone is quiet but can be heard as he says, "I'd do as the man says, we're short on time and no one wants to see what he can do when pissed and rushed for time." He still has his coffee and takes a sip, that smile remains upon his face. <English>
"So you...somebody that has some accusations against your name and a known traitor and...that guy over there are going to come back and cause a scene?" Hella turns slightly to look at Marco. "They gonna cause a bit of a ruckus for some information? Imagine that." She nurses her drink and shakes her head. "Why do ya'll even want to know about missing packages anyways?" Betty sighs and rolls his eyes at Ronnie who is currently eyeing the group of guys with wide eyes. <English>
"Who said anything about causing a scene, child..." Kyoshiro says in a rather condescending way. He leans closer towards Betty and tilts his head to the side. "We have other, far less overt ways of... what do you call it? Getting information and making information known to us. Do you understand?" He pauses, "One time this girl named Josephine. She worked as a secretary for this Privat Eye. She was sending information back and forth on missing persons, you know... SHe disappeared not two days later. Never heard from again. No screams, no note... nothing. Just vanished, yeah?" He pushes the stack towards Hella, "Because the person who took that package did a very bad thing to someone who did a very nice thing for us..." <English>
Zank finally speaks up. "an ya know there reputations...I mean if it was all true would ya really want to test the limits of his patience....I wouldn't he" says and chuckles taking a sip again. <English>
McGuire says nothing, looking at the four at the table. He really is enjoying his coffee. He rises up from the chair and walks to the entrance. He stops and turns to watch the others for a moment, but his wide body does seem to be blocking said entrance at the moment. "Sixty seconds." He says, and nothing more. <English>
So the four stooges were in a verbal stand off with our wayward heroes. Things are escalating...
Then all of a sudden, there's a faint pop, pop, pop, pop....pop sound that comes from behind the bar and those automated drink pouring machines. The pop pop pops are really 'pings' as a few screws and bolts suddenly go flying from the machines...the sounds washed out with the noise in the establishment.
But what /is/ not washed out is the EXPLOSION that takes places, the different types of alcohol and soda and such spray, splash, fizz, and bubble out all over the place. Certain people like Kyoshiro are in the main blast radius along with a couple of the stooges they were interrogating. At the same time there's a shriek from the kitchen and staff come running out as a rumble seems to be building in there as well.
Patrons are stunned for a moment, in various stages of being soaked with a variety of different drinks. <English>
Kyoshiro is waiting for responce... likely expecting to engage in some fisty-cuffs with the four after his last diatribe of subtle threats and attempts at Intimidation. He turns his head instead towards the Soda Machin and blinks. Then just as it pops, he acctuallly dives behind the bar to take Cover. "Tah Mah Deh!" <English>
Zank turns quickly at the sound thinking it might have been impacting bullets for a second though that fear is quickly exchanged with the realization of what's going on. "Presure spik...." he says to himself and dives away and under a table. <English>

McGuire heard Zank and judges distance and angles, moving to put the four stooges table between him and the bar and kitchen. Still by the door out, he steps back a step to be at the misting end of the mix of booze and soda. He lifts his cup for another sip of the coffee, knowing another cup is out of the question, savering the sip. Watching carefuly, he keeps an eye on the place. <English>
The Rumbling Builds, Builds....Builds....Builds like a roaring buzz of mystery from the Kitchen. The sound is drowned out by the panic and anger and laughter coming from various patrons. Some people are pumping fists in the air, others are leaving, others are yelling and shoving other people agressively. A few fights break out as employees are scrambling to clean and block the SPURTS of fruity alcohol mix that keeps spraying out of one machine, but blocking that allows for cheap beer to spray out of another cracked machine. Liquid is pooling on the floor. <English>
Zank stand pokes his head over a table and stands. He is sitting next to a building pool of alcohol. He finds a mug empties it and lets it fill next to him. He looks for Kyo and Fao "Jia sound off!" he says over the crowd <English>
Kyoshiro peeks up from the Bar, "Good over here..." He says looking around at the ensuing Chaos. "Seriously do they not do maintainance around here?" <English>
McGuire lets those leaving by to get out of the chaos. He keeps an eye on the four they came in here for, and keeps the kitchen entrance in sigh. "Alcohal abuse." He mumbles under this breath. <English>
Hella is slumped over the bar, bleeding from a chunk of metal that is protruding from her scull. Betty is gasping in shock as he's drenched from head to toe in something white and creamy and fizzy. Marco and the Redheaded Fan of McGuire are respectively also dazed from being in that direct blast. Marco has metal sticking through his chest and the Redhead's face is peppered with many tiny little wounds from something shrapnel like. Doctor Rojo pops up from behind the bar, covered from head to two in something basically clear and syrupy...her clothing fitting in a way not unlike some of the most famous modeling shots of her mother...those curves usually hidden by clothing as she just starts to move towards some other injured patrons, kneeling down to check on a woman who is holding a bloody shoulder.
....suddenly, the kitchen door BURST open and hundreds, no...thousands of black flying insects swarm into the room, attracted to the sugar and such from some of the drinks...and of course people. The mob of horseflies cause people to start fleeing. <English>
Kyoshiro notices Hella and the metal thing pertruding from her scull. He grumbles and grimaces, watching the Doctor move to go assist some of the others. "Lines, let's get the wounded moving and out of here." He heads to Hella first and goes to picker her up. He looks to the others, "If you can walk... let's go... if not, we can help." Then the flies come. Kyo's eyes widen as he watches the black swarm envelope him. He growls as they bite him and her starts to trudge through the sticky puddles of booze towards the exit. <English>
Zank was ok until the flys. They hurt. A string of curses unlike the verse has ever seen comes from the mans mouth as he finds a broken bottle of gin. He throws a mouth full in before pulling out a lighter the flys biteing. He flicks the lighter and sprays the gin in a most lighter in front of his lips. The Fire ball erupts in front of him....killing flys and hop fully clearing a bit of a path. He grabs who he can and starts dragging them out. <English>
McGuire's eye's narrow at the sudden explotion of some black cloud coming from the kitchen. Flies. "This is getting out of hand." Mumbles his tone as he steps into the room, "Come on! Let's go." He yells out to the team and the three remaining stooges. He notices Kyo has a wounded girl, and Fao steps closer to the Doctor and offers his hand. This is when the flies surround him. The noise fills his ears, and he can barely see. He knows where he is. He saw it when they entered. He knows where he stands, the door is just to his right and behind him. The doctor is before him. He suspects she is flailing to get the flies off of her, but he's just sepculation. "Doctor!" He says aloud to give her a voice to follow. <English>
FLIES, Booze, Sticky Puddles. It is mayhem and chaos of people getting out of the establishment. The 4 stooges have assistance from our heros, the Doctor does actually flailing through insects...pausing as some insects are now on /fire/ thank to Zank. Hella clings to Kyoshiro like a spider monkey in her groggy coming to state. It is in all this pandemonium that both Kyoshiro and Zank will find small notes on their persons, probably placed during a bump or a shove. Those notes probably hold clues.
They can and will get out on the street and authorities and such are finally being called in but it is, indeed, a hot mess. A really Hot Mess. <English>
Kyoshiro makes sure to grab his blades and pistol a bit clumbsily before he leaves completely with Hella over his shoulder. He grumbles on the way out, making the quip, "Beautiful Land my ass. Should rename it to Arsemonde... Ruttin' Gusa-hole." Kyoshiro, once out, renders first aid or as much as he can until paramedics and EMS shows up. He was trained well enough in First Aid. <English>
McGuire steps forward, taking the first shoulder or arm he touches. He was heading to the doctor, so he hopes it's her. Once he has ahold, he slaps his face to remove the biting flies that got through his leather like skin. He pulls, not a jerk to take one off their feet, but a pull to guide the person he holds onto towards the door. He hears Kyo's voice, he's had to close his eye's from the flies. The door and outside. Letting go of who ever he had ahold of, he shakes his head turning it down, slapping and wipping at his eye's, ears, nose, mouth, and neck. Blowing out sharply to get them out of his mouth, he blinks his eye's open to see where everyone is. Questions need answered. He looks for the four. His voice is very sharp and commanding, "Tell us about that shipment. Before someone else tries to kill you." He points to the entrance, "You can't tell me that was a coincident, can you?" He's hoping the chaos rattled them enough to jar something out of them. He swats his shoulder, a flie got back his collar on his outfit. <English>
Zank stumbles out of the bar weapon and blades in hand. "This night sucks" he says finally "Did we get the Doc?" he asks <English>
Betty really is the only one who is mostly coherrent as this part and not in need of major medical attention. And he just blinks Owlishly at McGuire and then starts crying. "Oh my god, like seriously Oh, my god. Did that just happen? Tell me that did not just happen!" He's still in shock. But the notes on Kyoshiro and Zank's person have the message 'The rebirth is upon us, we must resist' and on the other side it reads 'We have the right to determine our own fate. Meet us at <-----coordinates----> if you want to find your package.'. <English>
Kyoshiro has his medpack out and open. He hasn't removed anything from Hella but is doing his best to clean up the wounds. She needed X-rays and scans before the metal in her head could be removed properly without causing more harm. His hair suck together and face pocked with fly bites, he looks to Fao and raises an eyebrow. "It was an odd occurance but... how do you know they were the taret and not us or the Doctor?" He looks back to hella and cleans up some of the blood from her face. He feels around in his pocket and pulls out a slip of paper that wasn't there before. Opening it, his face becomes stern and he shakes his head. <English>
Zank sees Fao find his note and then searches himself and find his own. "this sounding a lot like Legion type crap again..." he says <English>
McGuire glances the doctor's condition before he steps up to Betty and takes his shoulders to shake him. "Tell us about the package." He can hear very distant sirens, this city might as well be a Core planet. He let's go of Betty and conciders a slap across the guys face, raising his hand as if he was going to, but slaps his own face to stop a biting fly. He looks at Zank, "What do you mean?" The word Legion will always affect him over what he was currently on, and it was Kyo who found the note. Fao has the clueless look on his face. <English>
Kyoshiro looks over to Fao and literally barks at him, "They don't know anything you old fool!" He stands and shoves the note to Fao, "Read..." HE says simply. <English>
McGuire looks to Zank, then Kyo, "Soulds like a trap." Turning back to Zank, "We going Cap'n?" <English>
Kyoshiro sighs, "Whoever they are... they got a penchant for crazy. That's for sure." He looks to Fao, "oordinates are fore Bernadette... Back to the core, unfortunatly." He sighs and starts to walk towards the spaceport after ocllecting his things. "It's too bad. THis was like a vacation for a while. Even now the flies to sound so bad... though, Bernadette is my home world." <English>
Doctor Rojo finally speaks up after a moment, looking up from where she's applying emergency bandages to a stranger and she narrows her eyes. "One more location. If we do not figure out where or who took it, we're dropping this. Okay? I got a message this morning saying they want to move my mother's care to a new physician who I do not trust so. Next stop better have the lead we need." She's on board for one more rodeo. <English>
McGuire says, "Aubrey's home world. Better get the puple dumplings ready. Just in case." He looks to the Doctor, "I have a Parlaiment Opritive assigned to me Doctor. Go tend to your mother. We have this and will send word or bring in the culprites. You're mother is the important thing here, and you need to be at her side." He turns and starts to walk with Kyo. "You can make puple dumplings can't you?" <English>
Zank lets everyone talk and finally speaks over them."Alright...get back to the boat. Clean ya self up. See if there is any cargo headed that way and what ever paper work we gotta do to move Fao do it...We leave soon as possible soon as we're dry and big free" he says "let's get moving" he says "Doctor are you riding with us or taking yaself?" he asks <English>
Kyoshiro waves his hand as he walks away, "Already on it..." He lets Fao and Zank figure out whether or not Rojo is comming with them or not. <English>
The Doctor just gives McGuire a /look/. "After all the paperwork I filled out to even get you allowed to come on this trip /with/ your Alliance Operative...I have at least one more trip in me. Its what my mother would've wanted..." She trails off before shaking her head to Zank. "I'll take my assigned Alliance transpor. Thank you." <English>
This part of the Docks is not as busy as the normal chaos that takes up most of the spaceport. It's busy but no we're near as crowded. Zank comes to we're his ship is berthed. He hopefully is flanked by Kyo and McGuire and another female doctor. All of them are dripping McGuire less then the rest of them. They all seem to be covered in red bug bites and smell of booze. Not on there breath they are literally dripping soaked with booze.... they walk towards the Jia. Looking tired. <English>
"Nothing but Luxury Foods to Persephone. Bernadette's Market is still closed because of the plague, so yeah. Doctor Rojo is going to have to make miracles with paperwork this time around." He looks very grumpy as he moves towards the Jia, his hair stuck together and his cloths ruined. "I'm going to spend a month washing this all off." <English>
McGuire says to Kyo, "The cargo will be arriving soon. I'll quick change to meet them at the ramp. We should refuel on Core prices and should have enough to get us there." He quick paces to the Jia, "I'm going to need help loading." For an old man, he moves rather easy. <English>
Sanoh watches the crew from afar, a small child fast asleep on her back. She looks about like someone hunted, but manages to stay silent and hide behind a load of cargo. She continues to watch intently, waiting for some kind of chance. <English>
Zank continues to walk twoards the ship when a voice calls out behind them "Hey!! Hey you!!! Yea soaked to bone...you almost burned down our bar..." Zank stops turning to look at the group of men about 10 strong walking across the landing pad. All look drenched and bug bitten as well. Zank sighs "we don't have time for this.." <English>
Kyoshiro's eyes are sticking together from the sugar. The lense on his cybernetic eyepatch is fogged over from the booze. He coulldn't see much of anything hiding in the shadows at the moment. THough, he's distracted anyways by the men calling out to them. "Of for Ruttin' Buddah's sake... Guys, we didn't do Gusa! Maybe you should Maintain your bar better! What are yeah, a bunch of commies!" <English>
McGuire stops at the ramp, having heard the words exchanged. He turns to face the mob. That's right, four or more is concidered a mob, and Fao's seen many of them form lately. He says, "I was better off on the run from facing my charges then I am trying to do my public service." He sighs and steps way from the ramp to the Jia to side up with Zank and Kyo. He doesn't say anything to the mob, just to his brothers beside him, "We gunna let them start this?" <English>
The child on Sanoh's back begins to stir and for a moment she freezes, but the little girl doesn't wake. The woman looks with some bewilderment and frustration at the crew, eyes darting between them and the "mob." <English>
Zank sighs "I kinda just wanna shoot em..." he says honestly. "Would that be counter productive??" <English>
Kyoshiro grumbles as he steps up the ramp, "Yes... now let's get out of here and leave them for engine wash." He still hasn't noticed Sanoh and Nim hidden just off in the shadows. <English>
McGuire says, "Mibu, we have to load that cargo." He sighs, "I got the four in the middle from that chubby guy to the redheaded guy with the freckles." He arches his back as if stretching before a strenuous activity. <English>
Kyoshiro stops and grinds his teeth and bit before turning. He stomps past Fao and Zank and heads right towards the Crowd, "You can have my left overs old man..." <English>
Zank takes a step forward from the group. "gentlemen....we didn't ruin ya bar...." he says as Kyo charges past "Ah shit...." he says "Kyo don't kill em!!" he says following. <English>
Sanoh widens her eyes at Zank's foolhardiness and nods her head very slightly in agreement with Kyoshiro. But it's McGuire's statement that causes her the real trouble. She'll have to time things very well if she wants to sneak onto the ship without being seen... With a remarkable amount of strength, Sanoh lifts what amounts to two children from the knees, readying herself for flight. <English>
McGuire starts to laugh, and looks at Zank. Turning back to the mob, he steps into line and follows Kyo. "Left over." Still laughing. <English>
Zank sighs and charges after his friends. "I hate you guys sometimes" is the last thing he says before they all enter the fray. <English>
Perhaps the men are taken aback by Kyoshiro's sudden headlong dive into the melee. Perhaps causing the first man Kyo punches in the face pause as his fist cracks into his sckull and breaks his nose. Bloos splatters across the ground and his companions. "Get the Rut out of here, you dirty, god damned, communis populist sacks of gusa." He's got a lot of pent up rage today. And that's a story for another time. <English>
Sanoh doesn't waste her chance. Her soft-soled sandals make no noise as she steals into the ship. Little Nim is startled awake from the fighting, but she luckily doesn't make a sound. <English>
McGuire grins at the beginning of the fight, then he see's the MULE bringing in the cargo for the Jia. He turns to instruct the driver where to park it. He's got to get this cargo unloaded and figures there wont be any left overs. <English>
If anyone stayed around to watch, Kyoshiro literally tore into the Mob. Not a scratch on him. He was quiet about it after his initial outburst. Some men flee as their numbers dwindle. Other lay unconcious, some with broken bones and bloody faces. He's a very skilled martial artist, someone who has been doing it for many many years and his scars give credit to that. Once the situation is absolved, Kyoshiro heads back up the ramp. He never drew a single weapon. <English>
Zank ended up hitting a guy with a wrench he found..... <English>
It was very impressive <English>
Nim sneezes. Sanoh winces. <English>
Zank comes back onto the ship with Kyo. Both men looks tired and gross. Zank collapses into a crate and shuts the cargo bay doors. He hits the intercom "Fao we're ready to leave once the engines are good let's get off this hellhole" <English>
Sanoh watches the men enter, Nim peeking curiously over her shoulder. Her lips are pursed anxiously. <English>
Kyoshiro keeps walking towards the stairs and up into the Common Area, "I need a shower..." He grumbles lowly. He was very grumpy right now. <English>
SHIP ANNOUNCEMENT: McGuire broadcasts over the intercom: 'Lines, Mibu," The Jia's speakers sound off, "We're loaded and ready for upthrust. All aboard.'
Zank dosnt hear anything expect the engines. He stays laying down through the take off and once he feels the ship head into space it quiets and he sits up heading to find a rage to wipe his face off with. He smells of booze still. <English>
McGuire steps onto the catwalk and looks down at the cargo bay. "We're off, but you knew that, and running. Persephone first to drop this food off. It's nice to have cargo again." He smiles wide and looks at the stack of luxary food crates are stacked. "I set course and we'll be there in a few days." <English>
