"A couple of occasions" Balsa admits, sitting back as Gracia slowly picks through her pile of food. "We had to spar with his forces outside of the Horsehead Nebula, he took a few hundred Drones with him, nothing too bad." She stops and thinks. "I believe we met his forces on the ground somewhere and time after that. We had to call heavy fire to fend him off. Hud and a fellow named Andross were called in and we beat him backwards."

"...Impressive!" Kyle's expression turned into one of excitement after Kaiba's confirmation.

 

"...I've seen quite a lot of things in my life, but look at you! A sentient android, that looks exactly like an average Lylatian local. I've never seen anything like that... Well, there are the automatons and the other artificial beings around but they seem kinda... alien, I guess?..."

 

Oh boy, that may sound offensive to him, he's still an artificial being after all...

 

"Um... uh... Oh!" Kyle stutters before saying with a snap of his fingers. "Maybe you could help an acquaintance of mine in a thing." Kyle states, gesturing towards someone in a cluster. "Well, actually, it's not a big acquaintance at all. Well, actually... I just met him earlier today... But that guy Tran seems quite troubled." Kyle says with a bit of an awkward tone when admitting he met Tran just a while ago.

 

Kaiba: "Troubled? How so? And as for me being offended, I can assure you that I am not."

"Indeed?" Anna asked. "Hnh... I'm surprised he wasn't willing to talk to you. I thought his grudge was only against us."

Kaiba: "Troubled? How so? And as for me being offended, I can assure you that I am not."

 

Kaiba's last phrase startled Kyle for a moment.

 

"Whoa. Wait. Wha... H-How did you catch that-"

 

Kyle cuts himself mid-sentence.

 

"...Nah, you wouldn't be a telepath of any kind, too, that's already a bit too much. ...Right?" Kyle says.

 

"Um... You know what, let's just talk to Tran. There's still much I'd like to ask you, but I think that can be saved for later." he says while gesturing towards Tran.

"We were contracted to remove his presence from the Horse head nebula." Balsa says. "Our benefactor demanded of us his removal in return for his economic support"

"We were contracted to remove his presence from the Horse head nebula." Balsa says. "Our benefactor demanded of us his removal in return for his economic support"

 

"I see," Anna said. She shrugged, then commented, "Oh well; least I know we weren't the only ones Zaariin attacked." She paused, then changed the subject. "Forgive me, but... I must ask; In all your travels, did you ever come across a phantom warship known as the Ravager?"

"That would not be a question to ask me, but the captain." Balsa says. "It is not my business what happens on the outside of the Eternal Ship."

"That does not surprise me," Kyle said. "The DMC has only recently begun to operate in this 'verse. Our most recent op was that Venomian resurgence over on Venom - were asked to put it down. We weren't told it was supported by elements of General Zaariin's Imperial Military, however."

 

"How could they possibly not tell you about something that important?" Hunter responded, alarmed and surprised that such vital information was not shared with Kyle. "I never had to deal with something on the scale of actually going to Venom. Tell me, what was it like? Surely the forces would not have been so powerful if not for the Imperial Military."

 

Hunter suddenly remembers that Tran is right there. "Hey, wait a minute. This guy was trying to figure out his past before." He thinks of Tran. "Hey, by any chance, do you two know one another?"

 

"This could get interesting" He thinks.

Motioning towards Dimitri, Hunter tries once again to get the attention of the others. "Hey guys, do you think we should help him off the floor? He's starting to sound like one of those weirdos from Earth...no offense Tran ;) "

Tran: "...I don't know...its possible. Something tells me that we have not met on the most pleasing of circumstances..."

"Frankly, the Cornerian Federation didn't know about it - the Imperials kept their tracks covered. And the Venomian rebels were powerful in their own right, just not as powerful as the Imperial Military. Even so, they weren't able to stand long against the tech the DMC used."

"Yeah, help him up," Anna said.

 

"And get him to a room or something to get sober," Kyle commented.

 

 

Tran: "...I don't know...its possible. Something tells me that we have not met on the most pleasing of circumstances..."

 

"Who knows?" Kyle asked.

Kaiba: "As you wish, I will speak to this Tran."

 

Just then the waiter came back to Kaiba's table.

 

Male Waiter: "Ah, I see you got a friend. Here is your water."

 

The waiter had placed the full water glass in front of Kaiba, who lightly with the tips of his fingers drawing it towards him. The waiter stood there with Kyle just to see what Kaiba would do with it out of curiosity. Kaiba then extended his right index finger and placed it in the glass of water.

 

Male Waiter: "Now what are you doin'?"

 

Kaiba: "I am testing the purity of the H2O commonly known as tap water."

 

Male Waiter: *snorts in laughter* "Well, have you found anything?"

 

Kaiba: "I am detecting traces of heavy metals, natural minerals, hints of undissolved treatment chemicals and fecal matter."

 

Male Waiter: "And you're telling me you found all that out just by sticking your finger in it?"

 

Kaiba: "Yes." Kaiba's face is one of puzzlement and surprise.

 

The waiter turns to Kyle.

 

Male Waiter: "Your friend is a strange duck." After which he leaves to wait other tables. Kaiba rises from his seat.

 

Kaiba: "I do not understand. Was he not pleased with my analysis?"

 Three she-wolves and one Arctic fox walked into the  Cantina all wearing  the same battle suit  though in their respective colors. (similair tothis but no starfox logo.

 

. "This is were Kyle is?" The black furred She-wolf asked.

 

"I thought I saw him go in here." The white She-wolf replied.

 

"He's right over there you silly twins." The Grey She-wolf said to the two, looking frantically around here. "Where did Rae go?"

 

"You know Rae never wanting to be detected even by her allies." Ruby the black she-wolf replied, playing with her hair  with one hand while the other played with her tail.

 

"Yup somtimes she really takes that stealth thing overboard." Tala  the white she-wolf replied.

 

 

"You two are hopeless shut-up and come on."Lupe the grey wolf grumbled walking deeper into the Cantina.

Hunter let out a laugh, possibly louder than he had intended. After taking a quick look to see that nobody was paying attention to him, he turns to Kyle and responds "So I guess it's true what I've been hearing lately then? The Cornerian special intelligence agency really is more or less a joke, huh? Surely, that has a lot to do with the problems they have commanding an army."

 

After taking another sip of his drink he continues "If the DMC is so much more advanced technologically and tactically speaking, why don't they offer to train the Cornerians so they can be better prepared when the time comes to wage war?"

"Frankly, because they never asked," Kyle answered. "We can't force any faction - even the Cornerian Federation - to accept help they haven't asked for. Even so, we'd have to do so carefully; we and our Dragonarian allies are very touchy about who we lend our technology to. The Kadgeron weaponry and Anti-Kadgeron defenses we use are quite powerful, and we cannot risk them falling into the wrong hands."

 

"We've been very careful who we lend out tech to," Anna added, "As the last time we did, it ended up in the hands of Zaariin's military - inadvertently."

 A White vixen appeared near Anne "Hello Anne." Rae said "Sorry about the  intrusion, but you know how I am." The whtie vixen smirked.

"Here, Here." Balsa raises a glass to the statment. "It is always good to hear of responsibility, to much have i had to jail men for handing out advanced technology willy nilly"

Kyle chuckled, "Good to see you, Rae - been too long." Upon hearing Balsa's statement, Kyle again chuckled. "Thanks, Balsa," he said.

 

"Seems we aren't the only ones Zaariin has picked a fight with," Anna told Kyle. "Balsa and her crewmates have had a scrap or two with him."

 

"Oh?" Kyle commented. "I'm impressed; few whom Zaariin picks a fight with walk away victorious. The diversity in Zaariin's fleet and military is often what does most factions in - just ask those pirates near Belsavis."

"How would they be so diverse?" Rae asked "Do they have a charismatic leader?"

"Ours is the opposite. We had enough numbers to plague every ship with an impressive amount of Drones." Balsa boasts. "We wore him down with numbers until our client ships could maneuver into range. His diversity was indeed impressive, but what our company specializes in is brute force."

Kage tipped back his head as the rest of another glass of alcohol disappeared down his throat.  He'd had quite a bit, but could hold his alcohol very well.  He listened to the conversation going on around him and nodded.  He was mostly half listening, half in his own little world.  It was only polite to at least pretend like he heard everything they were talking about.  If his name had come up, he'd probably pay attention.

"Like I said, I'm impressed," Kyle said, sitting back down next to Anna. Kyle looked to Kage. "What about you? You ever had any scraps with Zaariin?"

"Oh and this Vanessa, Lupe you remember her from the adventure on Titania ", Zack added

He shook his head, "Never heard of him.  We've had dealings with lots of war criminals, scum, ex leaders and the like, but never any by that name" He said.  "Hey, waitress, can I get another whiskey?" He asked, holding up his empty glass.

"And waitress," Anna added to Kage's comment, "Can I get a glass of Romulan Ale?"

 

"Zack!" Kyle greeted Zack. "Good to see you! It's been a long time since that last op."
