Star_Dragon Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 "Very well," Drake said. "Var Suthra, get Balsa some medical attention. The rest of us will meet in the hangar where Kabier's ship is kept." "I'll get my ship ready," Kabier said, getting up and heading out. Drake returned his attention to Var Suthra. "Is there anything else we need to know about Ord Mantell?" Drake asked. "Apart from the raging civil war, no," Var Suthra responded. "What you may want to do once you hit planetside on Ord Mantell is check in with one of my men in Fort Garnik, Lieutenant Kenneth." "Will do," Drake said. He looked to Myles and Rae. "Get re-stocked on whatever you think you'll need - I'll meet you in the hangar with Kabier's ship." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star_Dragon Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Drake headed to the armory to get stocked up, and then headed to the hangar. It had been a while since he last saw Kabier's ship - but it hadn't changed. "The Defender is prepped and ready to go - haven't seen Rae, though I did hear her say she had a fighter of her own she said she'd use," Kabier reported. "That means we're waiting on Myles," Drake sighed. He paused, and added, "I... want to thank you for what you're doing with us, Kabby." "Don't mention it, Drake," Kabier chuckled.

ballisticwaffles Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 "Drake" Balsa says, limping into the hanger. One of her hands is clenched to her chest by a sling, and her face is covered by bandages of all sorts. "Y'all gonna be fine without me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Dragon Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 "I believe so," Drake answered. "It was an honor fighting at your side, comrade." "I wonder," Kabier asked, "Will we see you again?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballisticwaffles Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 "Likelihood? no." Balsa mutters, taking a few limping steps forward. "I hear that the cap'n is considering me for a position of grand importance on the mothership. This was gonna be my last trip before i have actual duties." Balsa laughs at the thought. "But i can recommend a friend who might be more up yer alley than me" Balsa continues. "Goes by the name "The Inquisitor". Crazy lady, but a damned good soldier." Balsa stretches out her hand, a card held in her only two uninjured fingers. "If ye can get ahold of her, use my real name, Victoria, and i think she will wave any cost to hiring her."

Kursed Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 "I don't think she'd respond to any other name." Rae replied appearing next to her fighter a perfect imitation of a earth F-22 fighter obviously modified with Cerinian technology. "Nice ship, Kabby." She said lookign over Kaiber's ship. "of course My personal fighter only has seats for 1, 2 if crammed in. But it's a Cobra not a Huey." She added walking to the cargo hold on her fighter "I got some new weapons from the DMC I understand it's using New Cerinian tech like the DMC would be using."

ballisticwaffles Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Balsa shook her head. "Ain't supposed to say. Its rude when someone wants to be called something else." A fond memory plays across her eyes. "But thats all i got." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Dragon Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 (Uh, Kursed, that's DMC, not DMZ. Unless you were referring to another faction.) "I'll keep that in mind," Drake said. "You take care of yourself, Balsa - and tell Gracia I said hi." "Damn," Kabier said, "Where's Myles?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 "Lost as Usual." Rae muttered Pulling out a odd glowing carbine rifle. The whole rifle wasn't glowing but parts of it were lit up with blue lights. "Before you ask. Yes I can turn off the lights." Rae added. "I just think it looks more intimidating with them on." She finsihed pulling out a clip for the gun. "Don't suppose you want to see this?" She asked poiting the top of the Magazine towards Kaiber. there were clearly bullets in it ,but that was all there was nothing else no cartrige at all just the bullet.

Star_Dragon Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) "Not here, I hope," Kabier responded. "You've nothing to shoot at." "Save your ammo, Rae," Drake requested. "You'll get plenty of chances to use that when we hit Ord Mantell." Edited August 19, 2013 by Star_Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 "I'm just showing you the gun, calm down" Rae replied, putting the clip back. "This gun is an automatic rail gun that is it's just like a rail gun ,but works like an assault rifle." She explained putting the gun back.

Star_Dragon Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 "Automatic Railgun, eh?" Drake commented. "Dad's top MO, Tuz'iin, did something similar to his M41A Pulse Rifle." "Tuz'iin," Kabier said, "That's the Cornerian guy with the Dragonarian name, right?" "And sole survivor to a massive Xenomorph outbreak on LV-3297," Drake affirmed.

ballisticwaffles Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There would have been a moment where Balsa would say a farewell and depart from the hanger, but there was the words of Drake that left her motionless. "Xenomorphs?" She questioned, the answer already in her fear filled eyes. "Where?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Dragon Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Drake frowned, then repeated, "LV-3297; it was a world colonized by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, working with Cornerian colonists. Tuz'iin's parents were among them. You can get the full story from Tuz'iin, but good luck finding him." (StarKid, I really don't want to leave you behind.)

ballisticwaffles Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Balsa merely nods with wide eyes, idly crossing herself thrice before turning on a heel and exiting the hanger with due haste. She exits the building and joins the congregated mobs that wander the streets, blending in with the crowd as she makes her way to a specific high rise. On the inside of a nondescript skyscraper,at the 13th floor (mislabeled the 14th as it was), was an office that took up the whole of the floor. In multiple languages, simple signs designated the space as "The Inquisition" Without so much as a backwards glance, Balsa opens the door with her good hand. Waltzing in with not a care in the world, nor paying heed to the repeated calls for attention by the secretary, she kicks open a second set of doors and plops herself into a leather chair before a rather archaically dressed individual. "You didn't knock." Points out the women behind the desk, her eyes behind a pair of glasses. Balsa blows her comment off with a wave of her hand. "Chay, i need a favor." The Inquisitor grins despite herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star_Dragon Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 "Who said we were going to look for Tuz'iin?" Drake asked. "Now that you're here, we're headed directly to Ord Mantell." "Aren't we going to call Balsa's friend?" Kabier asked as she and Drake started up the ramp. "We'll call her friend on the way over, have them meet us at Ord Mantell," Drake said. "Myles, unless you're flying with Rae, come on." While Kabier got the ship prepped for flight, Drake accessed the holoterminal, calling the contact on the card that Balsa had given him. When the channel was open, Drake spoke, "This is Drake Indari to the Inquisitor - if you can hear me on this channel, acknowledge this transmission."

ballisticwaffles Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 "I can hear and see you fine" The Inquisitor says, her fingers laced on a fine wood desk, her wide brimmed hat tilted downward to obscure her face. With a light accent she speaks. "What can i do for you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Rae jumped into the cockpit of her fighter and prepped it for takeoff. the sleek f22 form made the cross section of the ship very thin but for extra mesures the top and bottom had a camoflauge like Rae's cloaking devise that turned on when the ship powered up renderin her ship virtually invisible. and if that did not work her whole ship had a full cloak to avoid detection entirely.

Star_Dragon Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 "I was told by... Victoria... that you may be able to help me with a developing matter," Drake explained. "One involving a renegade Sith Lord named Darth Angral. I'll give you full details at a later time, face-to-face - that way, we minimize the chances of unfriendly ears picking up what's going on."

ballisticwaffles Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The Inquisitor perks up at the mention of Balsa's real name. "Vicky sent you?" she asks incredulously. "That young bitch sent you to me for help?" After a few moments of laughter, the Inquisitor wipes her eyes of tears. "Oh my... things must really be going wrong..." She takes off her glasses and cleans them with an idle hand, her face still under the hat. "Very well. Not many people would dare use Balsa as a reference, so tell me where i must be in order to get the full scoop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Dragon Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 "Meet us--" Drake started. "Drake, hang onto something - we're lifting off," Kabier shouted from the cockpit. "Meet us on Ord Mantell," Drake requested. "I'm sending coordinates now. And watch yourself when you hit planetside; our information is sketchy at best, but we know for certain that a civil war is raging there." The Defender rose from the deck, spun counter-clockwise to face the hangar exit, and blasted off Coruscant. "Defender to Rae - follow my ship into the rift," Kabier told Rae via radio frequency. "We'll get to Ord Mantell faster that way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
