MARAUDER: The Hunt for Marauder One

[Star_Dragon]

Dovahkiin smiled. "You don't. The armory you'll be taking from is my personal armory in this region. I have more weapons and equipment than I know what to do with - have at it."

"What sort of equipment are we talking about here?" Vokun asked.

"As far as weapons go," Dovahkiin replied, "I have everything from lightsabers to high-caliber sniper rifles to high-power disruptors. Equipment? Everything from MASRA battleplates and Infiltrator-grade PCD's to high-grade explosives."

"How'd you manage to get all that?" Vokun asked.

"Long story, not enough time," Dovahkiin replied. "Come on, I'll show you to the armory." He tapped a few commands into the console, and the holographic emitters powered down. Dovahkiin then wandered down the steps and paused. "Coming?"

[Salem]

"I know child" Chayrlin sighed, smiling softly. Opening a case, she carefully removed a brand new cigar from its confines, snapping the case shut with a quick motion.

"Here, take it" SHe said, offering it to Vanessa. "Even if you dont smoke."

SHe raised her voice to THe Dovahkiin. "ANd what currency are we to use to buy these "new supplies"?"

Vanessa smiled at the gesture and excepted the cigar "Sorry for all that back there... you know with the sarcasm and all",Vanessa said apologetically as she gave a faint smile.

[ballisticwaffles]

"Dont apologise. Ever. Sincerity is a thing rarely seen these days" She shook her head and shot a finger at The Dovahkiin's back, letting out a small smile.

"Emotional repression, hiding behind veneers, this universe needs more people speaking their mind. Never apologise for that."

She sighed again, and whipped out a Zippo emblazened with a 8 sided star. "Light?"

[Geo Stelar]

Geo walked up to Dovahkiin and said he's coming.

"You said about your armory has got me thinking", Geo told him. He then showed his disguised first ad kit, and turned it back to his utility stick. Geo showed him all of it's weapon modes before asking, "So do you have any weapons of this kind in your armory?"

He kept the walking stick, which was really his Shield, disguised.

[Salem]

"I think I'll save it for later, thanks though",Vanessa replied pocketing the cigar.

[Star_Dragon]

Geo walked up to Dovahkiin and said he's coming.

"You said about your armory has got me thinking", Geo told him. He then showed his disguised first ad kit, and turned it back to his utility stick. Geo showed him all of it's weapon modes before asking, "So do you have any weapons of this kind in your armory?"

He kept the walking stick, which was really his Shield, disguised.

"No," Dovahkiin said, "But I have a number of melee weapons - swords, daggers, maces... trophies, really - from bandits and other enemies killed here, and improved to be on par with my other equipment."

He led the group down the steps from Dragonsreach, toward Breezehome. He keyed a combination and the door unlocked. He opened it and entered, then told the others, "Come on in - get what you need."

Inside were rows of racks containing weapons, armor, equipment, first aid supplies and the like.

[ballisticwaffles]

Chayrlin moved through the racks of items, perusing for anything she thought would fetch a fair price on the market. She snorted at the limited selection of pole arms and moved onto the clothing racks, moving and sifting through the material, looking for anything good.

"Anything not covered in looted blood?" Chayrlin asked, holding up a blouse that had seen better days than sitting in a vault.

[Star_Dragon]

"Yeah," Dovahkiin replied. "Up on the next floor - clothes and armor and stuff that I bought."

Vokun's attention, however, was on one particular rifle - an RX Phantom P4A1, with it's bullpup design, hardened uranium-ferrite 7.62-caliber rounds, integrated sound suppressor and holo sight. He picked the rifle up, and took aim at the ceiling. A nifty rifle - the main drawback being that it'd be hard to conceal.

Then again, Vokun thought, Where we're going I won't need to conceal this.

[Salem]

Vanessa dug around in an assortment of cloths and found a peculiar looking pair of ebony colored gauntlets and tried them on, "fit perfectly" She thought out loud.

[ballisticwaffles]

CHayrlin followed his instructions, only to be dissapointed by the selection.

"THank you for your offer" She said, leaping off the second level and landing with barely any knee bending. "But my standerds are higher than all of the stuff you have here. Fine wines and suits and stuff, things im sure you have but not the ones im looking for"

SHe paused. "You mentioned... lightsabers?"

[Star_Dragon]

Dovahkiin raised an eyebrow. "Yeah," he affirmed, "They're in the doors of the wardrobe - up the stairs, take a left, and the wardrobe is on the wall facing the door. I've got nearly thirty of them - take a few. You can probably make more use of them than I can."

"How'd you end up with thirty lightsabers?" Vokun asked as he loaded a fresh magazine into the P4A1.

"Like I said before," Dovahkiin said, "Long story, not enough time." He took an assault rifle off a rack - one marked as an X750 Stealth Assault Rifle - and slung it across his back, then nabbed the bolt-action rifle he had at Cairn.

[ballisticwaffles]

"No, i was only asking. I dont need to lower myself to using inferior weaponry, especially since i didnt make those weapons."

Chayrlin was visably bugged that The Dovahkiin kept his Lightsabers stashed in a simple cabinet. "Holy weapons should be properly taken care of and shown love when you clean them" She said, still talking to the Dovahkiin.

"And i will hear why you have thirty lightsabers before this whole fiasco is over, Dragon spawn. My employers still want you captive and maybe a story will keep me pacified long enough for you to slip away."

[Geo Stelar]

Geo looked at the weapons and even though they are as useful or as powerful as his current weapons (so he didn't get any) he was still interested in the lightsabers (he hasn't seen one before) and went to the room Marauder One pointed out.

'With Chayrlin around, I sure hope she doesn't run into someone who'll offer a much bigger reward on Dovahkiin's head.', Geo thought

(What about just a bit of a break, guys? Arashikage hasn't posted yet)

(KAge doesnt speak until spoken too, this RP lacks the action thats needed for his charecter to hit full stride. I assume as this hits true stride we will see him more often)

[Star_Dragon]

"Given the circumstances of this investigation, Charylin," Vokun said, "You're in for a disappointment - as it stands so far, Dovahkiin is not responsible for the crimes you blindly accuse him of - quite the reverse, as he is trying to stop them from happening, as we are. You WILL remain calm until this op is concluded."

"By which time, I will be gone," Dovahkiin added. "You want blood and death, and you shall have blood and death." Dovahkiin turned after loading his weapons, and left the armory while he muttered, "And she calls me murderous..."

Vokun followed, caught up with Dovahkiin, and asked, "How will we reach Sulenar?"

"Just follow my ship through the portal," Dovahkiin said.

[ballisticwaffles]

"I never said Death!" She said, glaring deep pits into The Dovahkiins Soul, even as he marched away petulantly. "I have never killed a man in my life, my soul is pure and unblemished. Nirvana is mine .Can you say the same?"

She Snorted and chuckled as Vokun yelled at her, smiling despite the chastisement. "Listen, fool, i said captive, not kill. High command wants answers, and if The Dragonspawn can tell us, a bunch of random mercs, then he can tell high command. That is my contract, and i honor each and every one i make."

As Vokun too leaves, She shoots a glance at the remaining three in the room.

"Okay, show of hands for people who think Vokun has been in on this BS all along?"

[Geo Stelar]

Geo walked into the room where Chayrlin and the others are just as

"Okay, show of hands for people who think Vokun has been in on this BS all along?"

'And now she does a survey on who believes Dovahkiin...', Geo thought, almost sighing.

Geo, carrying his new lightsaber, pretended to be too interested in the thing and proceeded to where Vokun went.

[Salem]

"Okay, show of hands for people who think Vokun has been in on this BS all along?"

Vanessa heard this as she grabbed a 20mm rifle, she stockpiled some ammo and slung the rifle across her back. Vanessa walked over to Chayrlin and said to her in half agreement, "I can't say that he entirely knows what's going on, but he does know something we don't."

[ballisticwaffles]

CHayrlin couldn't help but agree as she shook her head. "This Dovahkiin charecter... something isnt right. I want all of you to keep a sharp look out for any of this Hybrid's tricks and traps. Lets try not to get caught with our panties down again."

She nodded to each of the two left in turn, walking over to the cabinet of lightsabers. She pocketed each and every one, her pockets obscenely bulged and her jacket bulging weirdly. She counted and whispered small benedictions as she made sure to get every last one of them.

"28" She whispered. "29... 29 Lightsabers rescued from a horrable fate."

With that she left the room and the vault, keeping her distance from Vokun and The Dovahkiin, eyeing them both with suspition and making sure to watch all surfaces for traps.

[Geo Stelar]

As Geo walked, he maintained a distance between him and Vokun and Dovahkiin, and between him and Chayrlin, Vanessa, and Nora, so that he is walking in between the two 'groups'. He is doing this because he doesn't want Chayrlin to think he believes Dovahkiin and Vokun nor does he want Chayrlin to think he is agreeing with her;... more like a neutral side.

He examined his newly-acquired lightsaber, expression of glee prominent on his face. He got the one which looked the newest and assumed it was bought or made rather than stolen or acquired from somebody else..... at least that's what Geo hoped.

[Star_Dragon]

Vokun and Dovahkiin, were, for a while, silent. Until Vokun broke the silence with a rather obvious comment.

"You do know Charylin took all your lightsabers?"

Dovahkiin chuckled and smiled, moving aside his cloak to reveal a break-apart lightsaber staff. "Not all of them." He put the cloak back in it's place, then tapped in a few commands to his gauntlet.

"What did you do?" Vokun asked.

"Called my ship," Dovahkiin answered. He frowned, then added, "Now that you mention it..." He tapped another command in, and in the distance, Dovahkiin's XG2M1 de-cloaked, headed for Whiterun. The ship touched down, folding its lateral wings and winglets up as it landed near the Danube.

"Nice ship," Vokun complimented.

"Eh - it gets me from A to B," Dovahkiin said.

"Dovahkiin, lemme ask you something," Vokun asked. "If this... Sith threat is as bad as you say, why are we going in the Danube? That's merely a runabout craft and wouldn't stand a chance against those Sith ships, let alone the other ships this faceless threat has no doubt acquired. Why don't we go in your ship?"

Dovahkiin stopped. This was, apparently, something he had not considered. His ship was equipped with Kadgeron weaponry and defenses - it could more than hold it's own against the threat arrayed against it. He looked back at the others. "Can I trust them on my ship?"

Vokun crossed his arms. "If you don't trust them, then you were a fool to release us back at Dragonsreach in the first place," he said.

Dovahkiin nodded, then said, "Very well. Listen up! If you've anything to get from your ship - get it now. Once we leave, we aren't coming back 'till this is done."

[ballisticwaffles]

Chayrlin made no attempt to disguise the fact she had 29 lightsabers on her person, Nor did she say anything about possesions left behind on the Danube. She simply grinned as she limped along to the Dovahkiin's space ship, the white of the metal a contrast against the poverty and brownish decrepidity of the quasi medieval town, Smiling and smoking the entire way.

"I must say, Dragonthing." Chayrlin says as she passes closer to the Dovahkiin. "You really know how to help people" SHe smiles wider, her eyes twinkling and her leg throbing with Dark side energy.

[Star_Dragon]

(Technically, BW, the XG2M1 is more of an olive-drab color with red stripes - not white. Unless you referred to the Danube.)

Dovahkiin shrugged. "Dragonarians are known to help others - whether they want it or not. I suppose I am no different, being half-Dragonarian." He walked outside the gates of Whiterun, and immediately sensed Odahviing nearby. "Old friend, I would advise you not hide," he told his old dragon friend. "Some of us are more easily startled than others."

"Leaving again, onik fahdon?" The crimson dragon asked.

"I am," Dovahkiin affirmed. "And I will return... one way or the other."

The dragon made what passed as a smile amongst the Dragons of Skyrim. "I would tell you to be careful," he said, "But you are incapable of such a thing. So I will simply say... good luck. May your victory be swift and glorious."

Dovahkiin chuckled. "Aren't they always?" he asked rhetorically. The dragon laughed and took to the air. "Good luck with the young one, old friend," Dovahkiin muttered, not caring if any heard him. He then continued to his ship.

[ballisticwaffles]

(ANd how the heck am i supposed to know that? Not only is the XG2M1 not an official ship of anything at all, but you also didn't describe it in the slightest. I used my imagination, which i will continue to do so until you give any sort of description. Sorry about that, but you didnt say anything about the ship at all.)

Chayrlin eyed the dragon, her hand grasping her cane oddly as she eyed it with distrust, even after it took to the sky and flew off. "Lets go" She said, limping onto the ship and taking a seat whereever she could.

A ditty came to her mind, and with a Smile born of the irony, she let out a sigh, than began singing, the notes rising and falling as people began to board.

"Far Oooooverrr!" She sang. "The misty mountains cooooold!"

[Star_Dragon]

(Actually, BW, I did post a description of the XG2M1 - just not here. It is in the topic that contains my current chars over in "RP Characters." I thought you read it. Oh well.)
