*Random's smile stayed long after Indahmawar left the room for the evening. *
*She seemed the sort of person who could wield her sexual appeal like delicate flower's petal, or the crack of a sinister whip. He suspected, however, she would probably prefer the whip.*
*His smile broadened. He should do something nice for her. An acknowledgement of his appreciation*

*buys a round for the house and returns the hug to Miz*
Well, my dear, a very good friend of mine received a job offer in the far off system of San Diego. Whilst saying our final goodbye's to him before he moved away, his back up pilot decided to bail on him. I was offered as an alternative. So on Wednesday last, my friend and I left our home system of St. Paul and began the whirlwind adventure that was ROAD TRIP.
We covered many light years. I enjoyed the warm ocean reprieve over our home's subfreezing temps.
Alas, I was required to return if not for just business, but to continue the warmth and patronage of the TGFB.
However, being able to wear shorts and a t-shirt and not feel subarctic discomfort. Tough to walk away from.
Sadly, one of best friends now lives halfway across the galaxy.

There's some tough brown grass around there, along with the yuccas and the prickly pear cactuses. Enough grass to handle a lot of beef ranching. There's a huge feed lot and slaughterhouse outside of town, and when the wind blows from the south in the spring, you get to smell cow manure all day.

Yiole Gionglao wrote:At the private room upstairs, Yiole is temporally alone as Random went to some foraging at the bar. She's taking a nap on the sofa facing the door, leaning on her side with a knee forward and her hands under the neck and her cheek. She breathes softly and relaxed as her face displays a satisfied smile which is one of the reasons why men still bother themselves to chase women and follow them along the paths of their nature, even in such distant future, and even if they're mighty, immortal capsuleers. Yet another reason is how the sofa is conveniently facing the door, so Random will be greated by Yiole's silhouette, the steep angle of her waist, the full curve of her hip, and the evidence that she still didn't bothered to dress up.
Asleep, Yiole slightly changes her pose and moans softly, while a part of her brain gets ready to wake up and open her eyes at the sound of the door opening, to see Random's face as a subconcious mean to pick one of several courses of action...

*Random is in the center of the bar sweeping up broken glass and debris*
"You know, we have staff to take care of that?" a voice echoes. Random looks up to see Indah stroll across the room with Garfield mug in hand. "Not that I dont mind. You, I don't have to pay." she says as she takes a seat at the bar, watching.
He grins as he sweeps up the last of the debris and dumps it in the trash. "I figured it was the least I could do since it was sort of my responsibility. I'm sure replacing the light fixture and repairing that rail will take me very little time" he said, gesturing to the damages inflicted on the bar from the Burn Jita party. The grin turned wolfish and he gave a slight bow, "I'll get started on it right away"
"Why?" asked Indah, taking a sip from the mug.
"Why should I fix it right away?" asked Random, the wolfish smile still in place. "Because it is your bar and I'd hate to have ill will between us."
"No," replied Indah, "why are you here? It's not that I don't mind but you have a fairly expensive room that you've inhabited now for some time. You mostly drink coffee with only the occasional indulgence. You did not drink during your 'hosting' of the little party, despite the fact you acted like you had." Indah settled into the chair and cast a level gaze at Random. "I know, because we track these sorts of things. Now, unless you indulged a bit in your room, of which you went back five times and spent a total of six and a half hours, I'm not quite sure what to make of you. So, I'll ask you again, why are you here?"
He cast a sidelong look towards Indah. Her posture was neutral, watching him with intense eyes.
The smile faded. He looked intensely to the floor, then raised his head and to the imaginary distance. "I'm looking for something I've lost." he said, standing very still. "I'm looking for my....
The word was lost as the door opened with a sharp bang as Yiole storms up the bar and snarls out her order. Random looks up to see the furious Yiole snap up her drink and slam half the contents. Indah turns to her with a concerned look as Yiole begins.
"Do you know...? You know who's an ..."
Random sees that Indah will take care of her friend and quietly slips from the room. As Yiole draws into her drink, Indah gives her friend some time, but stays close for support. She turns and notices that Random has left, giving them some privacy in the nearly deserted bar. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

Random chuckles at Yiole sticking her tongue out at him. He's sure it was meant playfully but he stops to hold the image in his mind. More and more often, he finds himself doing that. He's not exactly sure what it is about her that keeps distracting him. He shakes his head, time to focus on work.
"You look funny."
He looks up from his datapad to see a cherubic little girl watching him. He was aware of the daycare remodelling up one level and was a bit surprised to see that the contingent had gathered in the bar. In the bar of all places. Ah, Gallente...
"And why do you think that?" Random responds, giving the little girl a smile.
"'Cause you have no hairs on your head.", she responds with the innocence of youth. A brief smirk crosses Random's face at the comment and he sets down the datapad to focus more intently on the child.
"Hunh, people that have no 'hairs' on their head are called 'bald'." Random says with mock seriousness. "I'm guessing your daddy has 'hairs'?"
"Both my mommy and daddy have hairs on their head and my mommy says that people that have no hairs on their head might be sick and need to go to the hospital where doctors put stuff into them to make their hairs grow back." responded the girl, handling a small stuffed doll. "I think you went to the hospital and the doctors put stuff into you but your hairs didn't grow and you must be sick."
Random erupts into a laugh, drawing the attention of a few of the patrons and a fair few of the gathered mothers in the bar. Speaking through the last of the laughter, he asks "Now, why do you say that?"
"'Cause you got that thing around your eye", she responds.
His hand goes to the scar around his eye. Before he became a capsuleer, before he could afford the medical nightmare that would make himself effectively immortal, he had served aboard Matari warships as an engineeer. There was battle. The Matari forces often warred with the Amarr, particularly when a slave system was discovered. More often than not, any Matari were so hopelessly addicted to Vitoc and with no cure, there was no rescue. However, the warships made the slaveowners pay. With their lives. It wasn't always easy, the particular battle where Random earned the scar was the battle when Random had saved enough for the conversion to capsuleer. Burning engine rooms, the smell of blood and cooking meat, the wash of heat and shrapnel still haunted his dreams, even when the psych evaluation required before conversion showed nothing abnormal. He looked down at the little girl and gave her a wan smile. Out of the mouth's of babes....
"Would you like to play a game?" he asked, smirking.
"Yes," she responded. "What kind of game?"
Random quickly cleared the screen on his datapad and set up what appeared to be more data transactions. "It's a different kind of game. I'll show you some things that you can buy and sell. You do know how to read, yes?" The little girl nodded as she jumped into the seat next to him. Random turned the datapad around to face her and showed her how to work the touch screen. He concluded with "...and this little bar on the left side will show you how much money you have made. Do you think you understand?"
The little girl nodded and began pushing buttons on the datapad, apparently at random. He took a moment to cast a look up to Yiole who was conversing at the bar when a "ding" sound emitted from the datapad. Random turned in disbelief. She looked innocently up at him and said "I winned." and smiled. Random looked at the datapad is disbelief. In the span of 30 seconds, she took an imaginary one million isk and increased it twentyfold.
Random cast a shrewd look at the little girl and asked "Are you willing to try it again?" The little girl nodded and up the stakes and the 'ante'. He smirked as he handed the datapad to the little girl and watched her face. Her fingered danced upon the touch screen as she screwed up her face in concentration. A minute later, the datapad gave a "ding" and she handed it back to Random saying "I winned again."
"Gwynna...." a call came from the gathered group of mothers. "Gwynna dear, leave that man alone, honey. Can't you see he is working?" replied a shapely but matronly woman. She sputtered apologies as she pulled the little girl away but all Random could do was wave an acknowledgement. He stared blankly at the datapad. This was a basic exercise taught for trading on the market. It was used in advanced capsuleer studies to help prepare them and teach them how to wield the fortunes of empires. Random gaped as he looked at the pad. In the span of one minute, the little girl Gwynna, had converted a ten million isk bankroll into well over 276 million.
He set the datapad down carefully on the table and walked up to the bar.
"I'll take a double of the strongest stuff you have." The look of shagrin plain on his face. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

Random looks up from his datapad as Sheimi sits down. "So, anything new happen today?" she asks.
"It has been a very interesting morning." he responds.
She looks down at the table and notices his datapad sitting untouched. Sitting by the datapad are three empty glasses. She picks up one of the glasses, sniffs the emptied contents and winces. "Its a little early, even for you, to be hitting this stuff." she says, setting the glass on the table and treating it as if it was radioactive. "Whats got you in the drinkin' mood?"
Random reaches over to the datapad and turns it to face her. "You missed the Greater Fool Daycare center we had earlier." He looks up to her and notices the look of total confusion on her face. He chuckles and says, "the Daycare center one flight up is being remodeled today. Indah took in the strays while the work is being done."
Sheimi settles into a less-than-dubious look and points to the emptied glasses on the table. "Ah, so not a big fan of kids then." she says, dialing in an order.
"On the contrary, I love kids. It wasn't the presence of the daycare that gave me pause."
Sheimi gave Random the 'gimlet stare' and says, "If I have to beat this story out of you, I will you know." She sits back into the chair with her arms folded and points her thumb over her shoulder generally in the vacinity of Yiole, "Your girlfriend will not be able to identify the leftover pieces."
A laugh bursts forth from Random as he holds his hands up in a placating gesture. "Easy, easy, ok, ok" he says, broad grin still on his face. "How long have you been a capsuleer?", he asks. Sheimi's brows knit as she shifts forward in her seat, "What does that have to...."
Random interrupts, "Hang on," he says "do you remember the basic trading courses we; well, at least 'I' did when you were converted?" She nods and Random proceeds. "On my datapad is a basic game that is supposed to 'keep you in practice'" he says, giving the universal air quote gesture. "One of the little girls in the daycare crew is a prodigy. Frightening, actually."
He points to the datapad and Sheimi glances down to look. "Two hundred seventy-six million. Yea, so what?" Sheimi says, with a non-plussed glance. Sheimi's breakfast arrives to the table and she pushes the datapad back to Random's 'side'.
"She was bankrolled ten million. It took her just under a minute." he responded. A good natured smile spread across his face as Sheimi's fork stopped midway between plate and mouth. She held that position, thinking through the situation and responded "Could be luck."
"It could be luck. It could be she's a prodigy." Random says dialing in his own breakfast. "Could you imagine the possibilites of having a market prodigy in your corporation?"
Sheimi levels the 'gimlet look' at Random for the second time and says, "I'm reasonably sure the my corp doesn't recruit landbound children, regardless of their luck."
"You're thinking too short termed, my dear." Random says, the broad smile returning to his face. "The isk values we play with daily are fortunes to these people. I should know, it took me years of knuckle dragging on war ships to save up for my conversion." His face turned more serious. "What I'm suggesting, is an investment."
He settles into his breakfast as he watches Sheimi ponder the possiblities. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

Through the last of Sheimi's laughter, she says "Well, someone sure has it bad." looking at Random. "I'd swear that I just saw a hunting cat marking it's territory."
"Damn that woman has my number." Random mumbles, still watching the sensuously swaying form of Yiole.
"HEY!" Sheimi says, snapping her fingers in Random's line of sight. "Hey Loverboy, back to business, shall we?"
Random shakes his head as if waking from a dream and refocuses back on Sheimi. Her smirk carries all the way to her eyes. "Right." Random answers. "Business."
Sheimi sits back in her chair, confident in the fact that she has Random's attention. "So lets talk. You have something in mind, yes?" The laughter in her voice fading to a calloused businesslike tone. "Your right, of course. We deal in amounts of isk that the landbound have no concept of. With the amassed wealth we wield, " she said with a grand gesture, " we could buy worlds and peoples." She takes a look at Random and notices his color has arisen and his pale blue eyes stared hotly. "Not that we would buy people." Sheimi added, realizing that she has touched upon a sore subject.
She shifts forward on her chair, placing her hands on the table. "Look, the smallest amount of isk is a fortune to them. You seem to be fairly wealthy, if running a tab for the entire bar when the Swarm decided to raise hell in Jita is any indication." Her gaze intensifies as she stares at Random. "Why do you need me?" she said. "What do you expect me to contribute to this partnership?"
"I have three reasons, two of which I will tell you." he responds, a hint of ice in his voice. "First, I like to share." A dubious look crosses Sheimi's face and he continues. "I'll admit, my motives are not purely altruistic but you seem to be a decent sort of person. This is a long term venture for very little isk investment. If it fails, you have not lost much and it may not color your opinion of me overtly. However, if it succeeds, your corporation or even your own personal wallet should be pleasing to behold."
Her state of tension eased slightly as he continued. "Second, I was raised Matari. Differences among our bloodlines can be cause for quite a bit on contention. To be strong, we learn to fight. While it may work for us, I doubt it would work for a young Gallente girl. I'm not familiar enough with the other races and how they raise their children. I'm looking for the best possible way to nurture her abilities and I'm not sure that having a strong Matari presence would be beneficial."
Sheimi's impassive look turned to heated skepticism. "What, you want me to be her 'mommy'? I hate to tell you Random but I'm not the mommying sort of....." Random interrupted her before she finished her thought. "No, nothing like that. Information and opinion, that's all. Proposing this sort of thing to another Minmatar would be futile. I'm looking for a spectrum of opinions. If you buy into this and you have ideas as to how best to nurture this gift, you reap the benefits."
Sheimi nodded, the flush of anger passing. "And third?"
Random leveled a cool gaze into Sheimi's eyes. "...is my own. However, I will tell you that it in no way involves you or yours." Sheimi's grin turned sly, she had hoped to trick Random into giving up the third reason. If he had secrets, so be it.
"So what kind of isk are we talking here?" she said, business like demeanor returning.
"A million isk, two perhaps." he said.
Sheimi looked at him for a long moment and then burst out laughing. "Are you serious? Two million isk?" her raised voice began to draw the attention of the patronage. She began wiping away the tears forming in her eyes as the laughter rolled from her. "Damn McNally, if you're practicing to be a scammer, you got a long ways to go." She eyed him as the laughter started to subside. "Yea, ok. Put me down for two million." She stood up and glanced down on her empty breakfast dishes, "oh, and breakfast is on you." She turned and walked back to her room.
Random chuckled and pulled out his credchip. He glanced up to notice that Yiole, deep in conversation with Indah at the bar, caught his eye and gave him a wicked little grin.

A fatigued looking Random walks out of his room and is jostled by the wall of sound that has met him. He looks up onto the small stage and sees Kate and Mizhir modelling their undergarments to the carolling shouts of "Skin to Win, Skin to Win". Both Kate and Miz seem to be holding their bras in place since they both seem to have suffered spontaneous clothing malfunctions. Seeing the slightly protruding knife blade handle in Miz's boot, he draws the conclusion that the clothing malfunction may have been intentional.
He strolls up to the bar and shouts his order over the deafening roar of the bar's patrons. The bartender takes down the order and then reaches under the bar for several bottles of purified drinking water and two cans of Quafe Supercharged. As he turns to head back to the room, he notices that roar of the crowd has drawn Yiole from the room. She is dressed in a large warm robe and a smile. He juggles the bottled water and Quafe drinks to his left arm and with a single swoop, shoulders the protesting Yiole up onto his shoulder.
She laughs and starts wrestling but only succeeds in opening the robe for the very few non-distracted patrons. He carefully carries her into the room. He reappears briefly and with a wolfish grin and an opened Quafe Supercharged, he closes them back inside. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

The soft persistent chime woke Random from his deep sleep. He lay in bed with Yiole in his arms, pressed together as if craving the physical contact. He turned his head and noticed that a faint light illuminated from his datapad. So the Gǣwake up callGǥ was for him. He soured and thought, GǣGǪthis had better be good.Gǥ
He slowly untangled himself from the sleeping Yiole. She gave a faint groan of protest but Random brushed the hair from the side of her face and whispered, GǣShhhhhhhGǪ..Gǥ She settled back into contented sleep. He turned to face the datapad and ran his hands across the skin of his bald head, taking mental note of the chaos his rented room had become. Yiole was a vigorous lover and being GǣcagedGǥ in his room for the last two days had brought out a wild and passionate side of her that made him smile.
He stood up and took the two brief steps to the table where his datapad lay. The air in the room felt intensely cold in contrast to her body warmth and the bed. With a frown, he picked up his datapad.
GÇ£Priority One MessageGÇ¥ showed in bold lettering on the crystal screen. He entered his security passwords and pulled up the message. A face appeared, a recorded message sent out and he recognized the face as a director in the alliance. GÇ£Priority One Message begins.GÇ¥ The director said, GÇ£Alliance has declared war and your presence has been requested on the front lines, McNally.GÇ¥ A sly smile slid across the directorGÇÖs face. GÇ£I hope youGÇÖve enjoyed your little vacation.GÇ¥ The smile vanished as the recorded message continued. GÇ£Report to Red HQ in Otela for your orders. Message ends.GÇ¥
He had been enjoying his GÇÿvacationGÇÖ. He turned to look at the sleeping form of Yiole and wished it could continue. For years he had been a soldier, a capsuleer bred in combat since before his conversion. He had lived a very good life as an GÇÿimmortal demi-godGÇÖ among the men and women of New Eden. He interacted with many of his fellow GÇÿdemi-godsGÇÖ, almost exclusively since the common men and women, the ground dwellers, could not relate. There will always be a gulf between Man and Capsuleer. It was a gulf that forevermore, could not be filled.
GÇ£Acknowledged.GÇ¥ He responded. The datapad send the encrypted message. Alliance Headquarters will know that Random, line grunt pilot for the Federation, would be on his way to fight and die, and fight again.
He took the datapad into the roomGÇÖs refresher. When the door was closed, he keyed up a communication to Captain Ral Springer. GÇ£Good morning, sirGÇ¥ the captain said when the comm link was established, GÇ£your orders?GÇ¥
GÇ£Captain, GÇ£Random responded quietly GÇ£I would like you to warm up GÇÿCourierGÇÖ and make it ready for departure. We depart in two hours.GÇ¥
GÇ£Aye sir.GÇ¥ Captain Ral replied. He paused just a moment as if to say something. A concerned look crossed his face and then brushed it off. Capsuleers did not need pity. He turned and began giving orders and the comm link faded.
Random looked at himself in the mirror. He had slept, deeply, but he felt the life of the last couple of days drain from him. He noticed various scratches, bruises and bite marks. A couple of them drew blood and he smiled as he touched them. He liked having these trophies. Some of the Minmatar tribe practiced ritual scarring but this was different. It was far more personal and again it drew the longing smile from him.
He entered the shower and luxuriated in the hot water. It really didnGÇÖt matter since he would be submerged in the fluid of his pod very soon, but he gave credence to the ritual of preparing for battle. He stepped out after he had felt the purge of human emotion. He towel dried and stepped out into the main area of the room. Quietly taking clean clothes from the drawer, he dressed in silence. He had nearly finished dressing when he felt YioleGÇÖs eyes on him. He turned and saw that she was watching him. Her eyes were full of concern and the iron fa+ºade began to crack around Random.
GÇ£You are leaving?GÇ¥ she said as she began to sit up in the bed.
GÇ£Yes. IGÇÖve been called in to Red Headquarters. It appears we are going to war.GÇ¥ He sat down next to her on the bed, his shirt still in his hand
GÇ£I fear IGÇÖve left you with some scars.GÇ¥ She said, wistfully smiling as her fingers traced the deeper of the scratches and bites.
GÇ£IGÇÖll treasure them.GÇ¥ He whispered back and kissed her passionately on the mouth. The heat began to rise between the two and Random gently broke off the contact. He stood up and spoke under his breath, GÇ£for as long as this body has them.GÇ¥
He pulled on his shirt and walked to the door. As he opened it, he turned back to Yiole. GÇ£I would very much like to see you when IGÇÖm no longer needed at the lines.GÇ¥ He turned his face downward, flushing at the statement and stepped out into the Bar.
Random was struck by the surreal tableau before him. Alice Saki in a maidGÇÖs outfit sweeping the floor and dancing to her portable entertainment player, Zoe walking unclad and speaking with Indah and an apparently animated replica, still flushed from some unknown activities. Most of the patrons were still in various stages of undress, a remnant from the pantsu party. He soaked in the scene and moved up to the bar. He paid for his room for an additional month and with one last glance at the room, left the bar.
His ship was prepared as he entered the bay. Captain Springer walked up to him and fell in step as Random moved to the ship. He took a few moments to look over the heavily modified Executioner. Springer watched him look over the various systems. Springer was confident in his crew and knew that the capsuleer would find no faults. He stood silently and collected RandomGÇÖs clothing as he entered the pod.

Random set into connecting himself to the pod. The brief spasm of panic and the momentary sensation of drowning as the last vestiges of air from his lungs were expelled and the amniotic fluid of the pod entered him. The Direct wiring, as if animated serpents, snaked its way to the implants along his spine and skull. As the connections were made, a blaze of input flooded RandomGÇÖs mind. He felt the fluids and electrical impulses coursing through the pod, and soon through the ship. The emotion of his parting with Yiole drained away. There was no room for emotion. Machines had no emotions.
GÇ£Captain Springer, GÇ£Random said in a voice devoid of life, GÇ£best speed to Otela.GÇ¥

Random awoke with a gasp. Drawing air into lungs that until that moment, had never drawn a breath. He looked around frantically, the surroundings unfamiliar. He did recognize some of it. He had been revived in a Matari clone bay. Two technicians in sterile garb were hovering over him taking readings and monitoring the systems of the clone chrysalis.
"Where.....where am I?" Random asked, focusing his eyes on the closest technician.
"Easy there, capsuleer." the technician said. "You are still going through processing."
His hand shot out, quick as a serpent and grabbed the technician by the front of his medical scrubs and hoisted him into the air. In a voice cold and devoid of emotion he enunciated each word. "Where. Am. I."
The technician gasped as he was hoisted off the ground. "Aldrat. You're in Aldrat."
Random set the technician down and sorted through his last memories. He was in Amarr. He was going to purchase a ship. He saw a war target outside the station and decided to engage despite the fact that the captain was warning him that the Tristan was not fully combat ready. He sent the ship into the engagement with fire in his blood when the Comet closed in to range of the Neutron cannons. There was an explosion. Pain.
He sat forward feeling the tug of the cables on his capsuleer implants. The technicians protested but an icy gaze silenced them. Aldrat. He was in Aldrat, the location of the last war his alliance was involved in. He shouted an explosive curse and began tugging connections from the implants.
He stood on slightly shaky legs and clenched his fists. This was a good clone with excellent musculature. One of the technicians tossed him a body stocking and he realized that he was nude. He pulled the body stocking on and with all the anger he could muster, stormed his way out of the clone complex.
"Well," one of the technicians said to the other, "someone woke up on the wrong side of the bay this morning."
Random called for an elevator and travelled to the Captains Quarters area. He registered on opening and proceeded to his quarters. When he entered he dialed for his typical clothing and waited for them to be delivered. He also contacted the central communications hub, checking to see if any of his personal items were in station. His face darkened when he realized that all his items were transferred by freighter right after the war with EVE University. Damned Laudenum was too efficient. He started pulling up nearby stations that would potentially have some of his items. A nearby system had a crewed Thrasher class destroyer and he sent a signal to the Captain to prepare to depart.
After a few additional minutes of arranging a transfer of his clone contract, he sat down on the couch and turned on the vid screen. He felt his pulse race. Delays, delays. He wanted to get back into the action. He dialed into the Concord notifications and was stopped short when he viewed the announcement that his alliance had dropped the war declaration. The fighting was over. He was halfway across New Eden, deep in Minmatar space and he had no war to return to.
He felt deflated. The tone from the processors signaled that his wardrobe had been delivered but he ignored the summons. He walked out of the quarters and down to the ship docks. After making arrangements with the Harbor Master, a pod was made ready for his use. He stripped out of the body stocking and submerged himself into the amniotic fluid. When clearances were received, he ignited the pod's thrusters and maneuvered to engage warp.
"Just a few jumps." he thought. I'll be in a ship. His first destination was nearby Rens to replace his lost implants.
Then, he sighed, back to Yiole. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ Free Saede!!-á Grats to the CSM 8 elect!!! |

Random opens his eyes as the last of the anesthetic wears off. He rubs his forehead and scalp with his hands, feeling the slight scarring that will soon go away under the effects of the bio grade nanites. Shaking off the grogginess, he sits up and notices the nurse monitoring the vital sign readouts from his bed.
"Am I done here?" he says, speaking slowly.
"You in a hurry egger?" the nurse asks with a grin. "Gotta hot date?"
"As a matter of fact, I do." Random responds with a grin slowly working it's way across his face. "Places to go and people to see."
"Your vitals are fine and the incisions are healing nicely. I dont see any reason you cannot be to your date on time. Your paperwork will be up front." the nurse responded. With a smile and a wink, she walked out of the room.
He began to stretch. He knew that movement would help purge the drugs from his system so he placed his feet on the floor and stood up, holding the bed's rail for support, just in case. He saw his personal possessions on the table near the wall and took a few tentative steps, feeling the strength flow back. He could feel the new implants in his head. He had grown so accustomed to them in his old body, that the lack of them in the new body left him exposed.
His new body. He winced visably and felt his chest. The new clone was without scars. Yiole seemed very pleased to have "marked her territory" and now he would go to face her in a body devoid of her connection. He grabbed at his datapad and opened comms to his docking station.
"Captain Perris, come in." Random said, a hint of impatience tinging his voice.
"Springer here, sir." came the response. The face of his senior Captain filled the view screen of the datapad.
"Where is Perris? What are you doing here?" Random stammered, clearly off guard.
"Long story, sir. I can recant the tale when you are in your pod and we are underway." Springer said, viewing panels that were out of the comms view. "Suffice it to say, sir, that when you hear the news, you'll want best available speed."
"You brought the 'Courier'?" Random asked, slipping into his shirt and stowing his items in the various pockets.
"Of course, sir." Springer said with a smile. "I knew you'd want to move quickly."
"Alright Springer, if this news is THAT damned important that I have to move now and you had the foresite to bring up the 'Courier', I'm doubling your pay." smiled Random, as he grabbed the datapad and quickly moved out of the room.
"Could I get that in writing, sir?" Springer quipped.
The impatience at the front desk took longer than expected and left Random with more questions. He tried to pay the bill for the implant installation out of the Vogon's expense account that Laudenum had established for him but found the account nearly empty. Laudenum only did this when he was out of touch and he feared that he was in for a savage berating when he finally did talk to her. The curious thing was that the account had been drained in the Greater Fool Bar. That meant Laud had tracked him there. Something was wrong.
He bolted into the docking area where the 'Courier' was positioned and saw that a pod was already prepped form him. What the hell had Springer so ready to go. Random wasn't a big fan of surprises but he would play this out until they were safely underway. He stripped quickly and a technician arranged for his garments to be stowed aboard the highly modified Magnate class frigate. He began running pre-flight confirmations as his pod was loaded into the ships cradle. When the connections were made fast, Springer had already made requests for departure. Soon the massively modified engines of his fastest distance ship were heated up and purring. He made calculations for the first gate of the destination and signalled the crew. They entered warp and he felt the mounting tension of impatience and ignorance. He opened a private internal comm to Springer.
"Yes sir, I hope you dont mind but I've sent clearance requests ahead of us already." the Captain said. "You will want best available speed."
"About that," Random said through the comm, "I am in a hurry but you seem to know something that I do not. What are you not telling me, Captain?" The formal use of 'captain' instead of the more familiar use of Springer's name clued the senior officer that this capsuleer was starting to loose his humor.
"Sir, " Springer began, "there's been an attack on Ms. Laudenum Hayes. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ UNBAN SAEDE AND TWO-STEP!!! |

Random stopped to catch his breath. The intensity of YioleGÇÖs passionate welcome left him gasping. He looked into her smoldering eyes and could tell that the feelings were reciprocated. He looked around slightly abashed but the capsuleers that had noticed the pairGÇÖs steamy meeting, had the sense to smile slyly in their drinks. Yiole backed up a step and began straightening her touselled outfit while steadying her racing heartbeat and rapid breath. He could still smell her on his clothes, his skin and he smiled, inhaling deeply. His lips still tingled from the intensity of the meeting.
She cleared her throat, as much to compose herself as to control the arousal from her speech. GÇ£You came back just in time.GÇ¥ She said, GÇ£Please do not be away this long again.GÇ¥ Her professional demeanor returned, although the hint of heat behind her eyes was unmistakable.
GÇ£IGÇÖm sorry.GÇ¥ Random countered, a slight blush creeping across his face. GÇ£I should have known better than to leave a lady in distress.GÇ¥
YioleGÇÖs brows knit on her forehead and her glance turned slightly icy. GÇÿDistressGÇÖ was hardly something she experienced. She straightened up and looked in his face, prepared to deliver a frosty retort but the impish grin that Random returned to her made her pause, and then smile. It was only a slight tease. She would make him pay for that insolence. Later. In private.
GÇ£What have I missed?GÇ¥ Random asked, looking around the capsuleer bar. GÇ£Seems that things are about how I left them.GÇ¥ When he met YioleGÇÖs gaze though, he realized that he was incorrect. His face turned serious. GÇ£What has happened?GÇ¥ he asked.
Yiole patiently told Random about all the things that have occurred since his departure to war. He grew concerned when she touched upon IndahGÇÖs bad news and grave when he heard about the fight where Laudenum was badly injured. He quietly took it all in.
GÇ£Yiole, there is a camp on the gate leaving system. I donGÇÖt think they were capsuleer ships. They just didnGÇÖt move with the certainly of being pod controlled. Let Indah know that if she needs, I have one of my quickest ships in dock right now. Captain Springer is skilled and devious, heGÇÖll get Indah through. ItGÇÖs a damn sight better than taking a shuttle.GÇ¥ Random said, looking into her eyes. GÇ£ I really need to go see Laud.GÇ¥ He said, stepping towards her and bending down to put his face next to hers. GÇ£If you can give me an hour or two, I promise IGÇÖll come right back.GÇ¥ He withdrew only enough to put his forehead to hers. GÇ£Can you find someone to cover your responsibilities in that time?GÇ¥
She smiled and said GÇ£Even if I have to grab that idiot bouncer.GÇ¥
He kissed her slowly, and with heat. GÇ£IGÇÖll be right back.GÇ¥ Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ UNBAN SAEDE AND TWO-STEP!!! |

Random headed out of the bar past the area where Laud was injured and went to the hospital. He was directed to LaudenumGÇÖs room and when he walked in, found her talking to one of the KaltanaGÇÖs. They both glanced up at his arrival and he stepped in with a broad smile on his face. GÇ£Zoe, right?GÇ¥
The tall dark haired woman nodded and put away her datapad. She turned to Laud and said GÇ£keep your eyes open. If you need some back up, GÇ£ she said with a wink, GÇ£give me a call.GÇ¥
Likewise.GÇ¥ Laudenum responded. At that, Zoe Kaltana turned to leave.
Random turned to Zoe and said GÇ£I think one of yourGǪ.GÇ¥ He hesitated, not exactly knowing or understanding the relationships of the KaltanaGÇÖs GÇ£sisters is looking for you.GÇ¥ His face expressed his confusion which drew a chuckle from Zoe.
GÇ£Close enough.GÇ¥ She said, still laughing quietly. GÇ£IGÇÖll let them know IGÇÖm on my way.GÇ¥
Random turned to Laud as Zoe exited the room. GÇ£Now sis, what has gotten your panties in a knot to the point you had to drain my expense account?GÇ¥
**************************************************************************
Roughly two hours later, Random returned to the bar and immediately sought out Yiole. She was sitting at the bar with someone already covering her position. She glanced up and smiled coyly as he walked in. With a flourish, Random produced a small bouquet of flowers, a gallentean breed that eminated a strong but pleasing scent. She took the bouquet and inhaled deeply.
GÇ£You know,GÇ¥ Random began, GÇ£IGÇÖve never asked you if you even like flowers.GÇ¥
She smiled and said GÇ£Lets discuss that later.GÇ¥ She slowly stood from the seat, uncoiling gracefully and stepping in front of Random. She walked slowly, deliberately crossing her legs allowing her hips to move in a way that Random found hypnotic. She stopped and glanced over her shoulder at the enraptured man GÇ£Care to join me?GÇ¥
RandomGÇÖs smile lit up the room. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ UNBAN SAEDE AND TWO-STEP!!! |

Random was finding the game a challenge.
When he had drawn Mizhir as his opponent for the Strip Calvinball game, he wasnGÇÖt sure exactly what to make of the pairing. He really knew very little about Miz other than the fact she was Matari and a fighter. She was a frequent patron of the Bar, but rarely made any overtures to Random to foster a friendship. However, she was doing her best to distract him. Her feminine wiles made it very difficult to concentrate on his game. And, she was lovely to look at.
When the game started, they were fairly evenly matched. Random had spent quite a bit of time playing such games as an enlisted member of the Republic Fleet. While the officers drank fine liquors and bragged about their shipGÇÖs conquests, the enlisted were often rowdy and learning your way around the billiard tables was a good outlet for pent up aggression. There were many a fight that broke out, but games were challenging and you developed a head for playing. The last thing he had expected was that Miz knew her way around a table.
Both had taken many shots and had earned, and lost, articles of clothing during the game. But as the game approached its near conclusion, the clothing was lost more often than earned. She danced at the end of the table, bare breasts exposed to the patrons and wearing a short skirt that left enough to the imagination, when she was lifting it to taunt her opponents. His stony expression nearly cracked when Kirjava slipped his hand up under that skirt. It earned him a slap across the face but the beaming grin he gave made it clear that he really didnGÇÖt mind. Besides, he had his own game to concentrate on. He stood with cue in hand wearing tight, clinging briefs and his trademark sunglasses. His opponent, Yiole, was down to her brassier.
When Yiole had proposed the Strip Calvinball game, Random had approached her privately. She was very protective of what she thought was hers. There was a quiet sinking fear bubbling up in RandomGÇÖs mind that maybe she had grown tired of him. GÇ£Are you bored of me already?GÇ¥ he had asked. She gave him a questioning look and then understanding set in. She put her hand on his cheek. GÇ£No, lover, you are my current but you are not the only one IGÇÖve ever had.GÇ¥ She said. GÇ£I get that, and I understand. What I want to know is, are you bored enough of me where you need to take another lover?GÇ¥ he had said, a hardness crossing his face. GÇ£Look over there.GÇ¥ Yiole had said, motioning around the bar. GÇ£Many capsuleers are sitting alone. There are transient groups that come in and sit alone with no one.GÇ¥ She sidled up close to Random and purred, GÇ£Not all of them have had the closeness that we have. I would like to give capsuleers something engaging.GÇ¥ She slid a finger up his back to his shoulder. GÇ£I expect you to play one of the lovely capsuleer women, win or lose. I expect you to claim your prize or be claimed. And I would love for you to return when the prize has been explored. GÇ£She cast a molten gaze at Random as she put her arms around his neck. GÇ£I am not finished with you, yet.GÇ¥

Yiole had nodded and smiled when it was announced that Miz was his opponent. She whispered to him GÇ£I think Miz would enjoy either winning or losing to you. Regardless, please her like you have pleased me.GÇ¥ She cast that heated look again at him as she turned to face her own opponent. He was still unsure. He still wasnGÇÖt quite clear if Yiole had tired of him but win or lose, he was in this contest. He turned to look at the lovely Mizhir.
Random had been reduced to his briefs. The hoots of the patrons made him feel a little self-conscious. It was strange that as a capsuleer, he would spend time nude in the pod without a second thought but wearing only undergarments while shooting Calvinball was a bit overwhelming. He focused his thoughts, trying hard to not be distracted by the seductive dance that Miz was performing. He took his shot and hit three banks to have the ball lightly tap at its stop. He beamed as he acknowledged the successful shot. Making his shot was the least of his worries; he was more concerned that he had not left Miz a good shot.
She pursed her lips, an expression that he found attractive. She scanned the table as the chorus of shouts from the patrons watching the game on their table rose. She had a very difficult shot. She had made very good shots throughout the game and Random was hoping that this one would be a challenge. Miz took her time calculating the angles with which she would need to bounce the ball off the rails. As the shouts turned to roars, she glanced up and for the first time, Random saw worry in her face. It set him back. Miz was worried about losing. He really wasnGÇÖt concerned and on the few occasions that he and Yiole met eyes during the game, she always smiled and nodded discretely.
Miz bent over to take aim amid the cat calls of the patrons. Random admired her backside as she bent to line up the shot. He noticed that she was not playing to the crowd with this shot as she had with previous shots. She would seductively arch her back, exposing as much skin under the hem of skirt but this shot was different. She tapped the cue and the ball rolled off the banks. She stood nervously watching the banking shot and visibly looked relieved when the ball rolled to a stop, gently tapping and making her shot.
She shot a look back to Random that for just a moment showed nervousness. She had left him an easy shot and she knew it. She began to try to distract him by taking her cue stick and roll it down her back, thrusting her breasts forward. She walked slowly towards him, ankles crossing with each step and looking like a hungry panther. As she stood next to Random, she said GÇ£IGÇÖm hoping Yiole did not cut off your balls. IGÇÖm looking forward to putting them to good use.GÇ¥ She walked around him tracing a finger along his buttocks. Just before she stepped out of range, she gave them a squeeze.
His physical reaction to her became plain for the patrons to see as a fresh round of howls showered down. He glanced back at Yiole who had noticed and smiled and nodded again. Miz smirked as she saw the swelling and began licking her lips in a most seductive way. He summoned up all his self-control as he lined up his next shot. He calculated his angles and he bent over to shoot. The noise of the crowd filtered away, as did the distraction of his physical reaction to Miz. This was an easy shot. However, just before he drove the cue home, he remembered the worry in MizGÇÖs face.

He smiled, and took the shot.
The ball bounced from the first to the second rail and began losing momentum. As it rebounded off the third rail, it was obvious that this would be close. Miz gasped audibly and the patrons hushed and the ball rolled to a stop a mere hairGÇÖs width away from contact. The patrons watching their table burst into shouts and applause. Miz was jumping, overwhelmed with excitement. She turned a look to the defeated Random and placed a hand on her hip. A slow smile broke across her face as she surveyed his body and the last item of clothing he wore. She beckoned with her finger at his last garment.
Random walked around the table in full view of the observers. He raised his arms up over his head as Miz slowly slid the undergarment off, exposing his turgid state and proving that Yiole had indeed left his balls intact. He turned to Miz and dropped to one knee, saying GÇ£I am your prize.GÇ¥
Miz gasped and laughed as Random stood up, gathering her up in his arms and started carrying her to his room. She was already biting into his shoulder.
Yiole smiled Miz went away with her prize. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ UNBAN SAEDE!-á ALICE SAKI FOR OOPE MODERATOR!-á Make it so! |

Quote:At the time of purchase, the customer undergoes a thorough examination and several tissue samples are taken. This is then used to construct a clone of the customer GÇô a clone that receives the consciousness of the original at the moment of death, granting a new life. So yes, both of us believe that in order to become a capsuleer, your original body must die. IMO, that adresses how the capsuleer is revived, not how he becomes a capsuleer. The written lore on becoming a capsuleer is what I quoted from the Jovian wet grave, on how people get implants to plug to the capsule. The new video just tries to unify capsuleers and dusties for marketing reasons, and goes as far as depicting the pod as a glorified HUD rather than what the lore says about it. I don't know wether i got everything wrong, CCP intends to change the lore or just the video was made by the same guys who put lasers on a Raven, but as far as my characters are concerned, they all live in their original bodies, except Ish.  BTW, I foresee a potential big battle with many hands once Laudenum brings the news... as someone said, "a blockade is a target rich environment" to capsuleers.

Why the hell do people in the USA drink root beer? UK root beer is vastly superior. This stuff tastes like chemicals!
I went to an import store today during my break and bought a bunch of sodas including 3 kinds of root beer as dandelion and burdock is one of my favourite drinks for summer.
But this stuff.... is just... oh god its so awful. 2 sips and i poured it away. Same with the Barqs root beer, equally as vile. Probably for the same reason we drink things like Budweiser. Tastes like crap but its what we have/what we were raised on.

As Kirjava solicited the pretty young patrons for some assistance, the house lights dimmed down and the automated spots swiveled and swung about. The crowd hushed as the lights knifed their way about the patrons.
GǣLadies and Gentlemen!Gǥ the voice boomed. GǣIn our third round, the finest filly of the Kaltana stables and member of Kaltana IndustriesGǪGǥ The voice grew in power, encouraging the crowd to greater levels of applause. GǣPlease welcomeGǪGǥ
The swiveling lights pivoted to the far locker room where two overly muscled and overly tanned men stepped through the door. Both were wearing ancient styled GÇ£Ten GallonGÇ¥ hats, gun belts over tooled leather chaps and thongs. Their muscular chests gleamed with oil as they stepped out of the locker room and into the spotlights; each raised an archaic six shot pistol and smiled vapidly to the crowd.
GǣGǪCHLOE KALTANA!!Gǥ the announcer finished, releasing the pent up energy of the crowd in a roar of approval. The two gleaming gunmen, fired simultaneously, causing more than a couple of the less focused patrons to dive for cover. In the momentary distraction of the gunfire, Chloe stepped out.
She was dressed in a glossy white robe that gleamed in the collective spotlights. Perched on her head was a headdress shaped like a glossy white mane that flowed down the back of the robe to meet with a matching glossy white tail. She drew open the bottom of her robe, exposing muscled legs and heels that gave the impression of hooves. She turned sidelong, and struck a pose that was reminiscent of a rearing horse and flashed a bright grin that invigorated the applause of the barGÇÖs patrons. The two escorts fired an additional round from their ancient weapons and Chloe turned to strut down the ramp to the ring, slowly crossing feet with each step. She held her head high and proud, as she approached the crowd.
GǣAnd her opponent,Gǥ the announcer continued as Chloe continued posing just outside the ring of Nutella; spotlights beginning their hypnotic spirals. Gǣheralding from GǪ.Gǥ , the announcer was cut off as a loud crash issued from the opposing locker room. The crowd started when the locker room door was forcibly smashed open and landing across the hall in an upside-down heap was another of the overly oiled and tanned assistants. The fourth of the quartet scurried out of the room and ran down the ramp as if the hounds of Hell were chasing him.
Gǣum, heralding from parts unknown, Gǣ the announcer continued, obviously floundering from the unexpected scene. Gǣ the terror of Suddenly SpaceshipsGǪGǥ The spotlights illuminated a petite woman with a coffee cup clutched in one hand and a wild mop of red hair. She turned her glare to the crowd and yawned broadly, emphasizing the smeared red lipstick that trailed halfway to her left ear. She wore a threadbare oversized sleep shirt that proudly announced GǣI Make Grown Men CryGǥ.
GÇ£ALICE SAKI!!GÇ¥ the announcer finished, stirring the crowd from their stunned silence and rousing them to reclaim their volume. The pale woman shielded her eyes as the spotlights swept up to surround her. She lifted her coffee cup to take a sip and scowled after taking a sip. With a visible snarl, she dumped the contents on the upturned rump of the unconscious assistant. After dropping the mug on the unfortunate manGÇÖs head, she turned and stomped her way down the ramp.
Chloe continued her posing, hoping to energize her cheering fan base and hoping to deflect some of the attentions away from Alice. When Saki approached the ring, however, she yawned again loudly and with crossed arms, pulled the thread bare sleep shirt over her head exposing a finely-toned body dressed in a bright yellow thong bikini with the universal biohazard symbol emblazoned on it. Chloe, not to be outdone, removed the headdress and seductively slid out of the glossy white robe revealing a white microkini against naturally tanned skin. Chloe turned to give the audience a full look at her long and tight musculature. Alice stifled a yawn.
At the sound of the bell, both jumped into the ring of Nutella with the predicted result of both loosing their footing and falling on their backsides. Chloe began to stand slowly, her height being a disadvantage in the chocolatey muck while Alice spun quickly and began pumping her legs in a simulated sprint but managed only to have both her hands and feet shoot out from underneath her, plopping her face unceremoniously in the spread.

Chloe, seeing the opportunity, lowered her center of gravity and scrambled on all fours to the face down Alice and managed an awkward dive to try to pin her face down but the fiery redhead pushed herself up and noticed the mare attempting the lunge. She squirted out from underneath the shadow of Chloe and managed a spin to completely clear her. Chloe tried to break her fall with her arms, but on contact with the gooey substance shot apart and plopped ChloeGÇÖs face first into the Nutella. Leaping like a hazelnut flavored panther, Alice squelched on to ChloeGÇÖs back, forcing the taller womanGÇÖs face back into the glop.
Chloe began to thrash as she held her breath and began to buck, hoping to dislodge the redhead, but Alice reached down and grabbed a fist full of the strings to ChloeGÇÖs top and clamped her legs around the toned abdomen. Alice watched carefully as Chloe twisted and moved, sensing which direction she would go and fouling up an arm or leg and plopping ChloeGÇÖs face back into the Nutella.
Alice could feel ChloeGÇÖs breath changing from strained to ragged, hampered by the accumulation of muck around ChloeGÇÖs nose and mouth. She had been working strenulously and only taking shallow breaths. Soon she began to tire and with a final gasp, fell back face first in to the goo. Alice lept off of ChloeGÇÖs back and turned her head to clear away the passages for her to breath. The Kaltana woman smiled and nuzzled into Alice. A sly smile crossed AliceGÇÖs face and while combing the spread from ChloeGÇÖs hair and face, she scooped enough to fill her palm and slapped it over ChloeGÇÖs mouth. Chloe snarled and began to start the fight anew when Alice grabbed ChloeGÇÖs head in both hand and planted a firm and passionate kiss. With a start, Chloe swallowed the mouthful of Nutella and Alice stood up on wobbly legs as the winner amid the roar of the crowd.
As a parting shot, when Alice turned to present herself to the crowd, arms raised in victory, Chloe reached up and yanked her bottoms, snapping the straps, but in the congealed Nutella, it was difficult to see the nudity.

Random and Yiole moved away from the ring as the GÇ£intermissionGÇ¥ entertainment began. They walked up to the bar and Random ordered a pair of drinks. When the drinks arrived, he slid one over to Yiole and kept the other for himself. He turned to watch the performers and it was obvious that he was looking for a little quiet in the midst of the fanfare.
GÇ£While this has been very fun to watch, IGÇÖm starting to feel a little claustrophobic with the crowd. To be honest, I think when Laud is done, we should go for a quiet dip or maybe sit in one of the saunas.GÇ¥ He took a sip from the glass with a sheepish look, GÇ£Honestly, I still feel like IGÇÖve got Nutella in places that it shouldnGÇÖt be.GÇ¥
Yiole took a sip from her drink and looked Random squarely in the eyes. GÇ£Why did you let Laudenum win?GÇ¥
He looked back in her eyes and said GÇ£Why does it matter?GÇ¥
Her glare became more icy. GÇ£It is impolite to answer a question with a question. Why did you let Laudenum win?GÇ¥ She asked the question with just a little more force but the sound from the intermission performance began to make speaking difficult without shouting. He gently took her by the arm and retired to the privacy of the hallway leading to the KaltanaGÇÖs spa. He did not speak as they walked but wore a pensive look.
As they walked in to the spa area, Random intentionally closed the door sealing the noise of the bar. The only people in attendance were the few scantily dressed attendants. He turned to her then and said, GÇ£Laudenum grew up the third child in a family that prized boys over girls. My brother and I were always in competition for GÇÿwho was bestGÇÖ. She grew up a GÇÿtomboyGÇÖ and felt that she was in the competition as well.GÇ¥ He sighed heavily. GÇ£I would rather she didnGÇÖt get hurt, or more preciselyGǪGÇ¥ he took a sip from his drink, GÇ£that I didnGÇÖt get hurt.GÇ¥
Yiole held the glass as she listened to Random. Her look was more questioning than anything. GÇ£So you didnGÇÖt just throw your round because I lost.GÇ¥ It was a statement, not a question. GÇ£But you suspected that Laudenum would hurt herself or you in the process?GÇ¥
Random leaned against the wall, a move that emphasized the height difference between the two. GǣI promiseGǪGǥ He began, Gǣif you want to hear the tale of my family and just how messed up it is, I will tell you. It will not be a short and romantic tale.Gǥ He gazed over the water features and looked up to the artificial sky. GǣIf you wish to hear it, it will cost you a homemade dinner and a bottle of wine. Real wine, not that simulated stuff.Gǥ
He turned his face and cast a piercing gaze at Yiole. GÇ£If you wish to hear it, you will hear it all.GÇ¥ He took a sip from his drink. GÇ£I really wish to be there when the next match starts.GÇ¥ He pushed himself away from the wall. Ish looked kind of angry and we may be needed incase there is trouble with the match between Laud and Alice.GÇ¥
GÇ£Random, this really doesnGÇÖt make any senseGǪGÇ¥ Yiole began but Random gently cupped her cheek in his hand and kissed her question away.

Random woke and stretched and knew something was wrong. He reached across the bed and found the presence of Yiole noticeably missing. He listened and heard only the tell tale sounds of the station. He rolled into a sitting position and winced as his feet hit the cool floor. Even after a trip to the GÇÿfacilitiesGÇÖ, he was alone in the room.
He pulled on a pair of shorts and strolled from his room to the Bar proper. Nudity, even partial, was not uncommon among capsuleers and Random was far from modest, but he knew that there could be others in the Bar that may be a bit uncomfortable with naked capsuleers about. Besides, this wasnGÇÖt to be an exhibitionist moment; he just wanted coffee.
GÇ£Well big brother, GÇ£ Laudenum drawled, GÇ£did you get your ya-yaGÇÖs off?GÇ¥ She walked around to face him, portable terminal in her hand. He responded with a blush that set Laudenum into a gale of laughter. GÇ£Oh, you are crystal, dear brother.GÇ¥ She said, as the laughter subsided to giggles. GÇ£Pure crystal.GÇ¥
GÇ£So, do you have any idea where she went?GÇ¥ he asked innocently, but the blush still pronounced on his face.
GÇ£Still not done?GÇ¥ she asked, her eyebrows raised and an evil smirk crossing her face. GÇ£Do I need to find you a temporary playmate?GÇ¥ She turned as if to shout out to the bar but RandomGÇÖs vice like grip grabbed her arm and spun her back to face him. Her face darkened but the sheepish look on his face drained away any mounting anger.
GÇ£Please, no.GÇ¥ he said, trying to reign in the emotions and returning to his normally stoic expression. GÇ£I was just wondering if you know where she went. This doesnGÇÖt need to be on the Gall Net.GÇ¥
Laudenum smiled and said, GÇ£Yiole went with Ish on an errand of some sort. They had some dopey looking ground dweller in tow. They all boarded a shuttle and split early this morning. At least, thatGÇÖs what I saw from the hangar deck.GÇ¥ Her smile turned wicked and her voice grew in volume. GÇ£Now are you SURE I donGÇÖt need to find you a PLAYMATE?GÇ¥ The last was shouted to a half populated bar. Many who hadnGÇÖt even paid attention to the barely dressed capsuleer. Many noted the pair at the bar with only a few casting longing looks. An attractive female patron passed by and Laudenum pointed in the general vicinity of RandomGÇÖs groin and announced, GÇ£Sister, you should try some of that! IGÇÖve heard that it makes ladies happy!GÇ¥
Random spun with eyes blazing on his misbehaving sister but she merely cackled in laughter and walked to a vacant table. Random grabbed the coffee and stormed back to his quarters, oblivious to the female patron watching his retreating back side.

Random turned and smiled at the sleeping Yiole. She laid buried deep in the heavy covers of the bed, a faint smile upon her face and her close cropped hair askew. Random had awoke to the call of nature but the energy expenditure of the last evening caused his stomach to rumble. He quietly slipped into a pair of shorts and silently moved into the hall leading to the bar proper.
The bar was unusually quiet. There were a few patrons in various stages of inebriation but the general din was muted. GÇ£I guess everyone is sleeping it off.GÇ¥ Thought Random, looking around the room. He walked up to the bar where Succus was polishing the already gleaming surface. Succus cast a jovial eye towards Random and with a broad smile asked, GÇ£Breakfast for you, Mr. McNally?GÇ¥
GÇ£Yes, please Succus.GÇ¥ Random croaked, conscious of his dry throat and just how exhausted he felt. GÇ£Two, actually.GÇ¥ He paused as if to consider what actually sounded good. Succus took the opportunity to set a steaming cup of coffee on the bar surface and Random broke contemplation to give Succus an appreciative nod and a salute with the cup. The coffee burned as he sipped it but a sigh slipped out that brightened the smiling bartenderGÇÖs grin.
GÇ£Two steaks, please. Rare. Plenty of fresh fruit, coffee, juice and yogurt.GÇ¥ He said, taking another sip of the coffee. GÇ£And a couple of small pastries.GÇ¥ He concluded his list with a more generous sip of coffee and nearly moaned.
GÇ£Hungry today, eh?GÇ¥ Succus said, smiling and programming the order into the screen behind the bar. GÇ£Twinkle was mentioning that the video unit may have been left on in your room last night. He said it sounded like quite a ruckus was taking place.GÇ¥ Succus winked as he leaned in close. GÇ£The boy offered to go in and shut the Vid off but I felt it was not his place.GÇ¥ The bartender stood up, his beaming smile turning more professional and said GÇ£Our customers pay handsomely for space in the bar. It is their prerogative whether they wish to leave their Holovids at high volume or not.GÇ¥ As the food began arriving, he turned back to Random and beamed him that knowing smile again. GÇ£All I had to do was turn the privacy dampers up a bit more.GÇ¥
Random returned a sheepish smile to the bartender and as he inserted the credstick, he made sure to leave an ample tip. He gingerly picked up the trays and carefully strolled back to his room, certain that his beauty queen would also be famished.
Twinkle stepped up next to Succus behind the bar, watching Random return to his room. He cocked his head in a bird-like motion and looked at the sturdy bartender. GÇ£What did he want?GÇ¥ Twinkle asked.
GÇ£Was just here ordering breakfast for himself and his lady friend.GÇ¥ Succus responded, wiping perceived stains from the bar surface. GÇ£Did you enjoy your evening off, Twinkle?GÇ¥
GÇ£Yes, very much.GÇ¥ The unusual lad responded. GÇ£Thank you for the time away.GÇ¥ He seemed to add as an afterthought.

A chirp from his desk drew his attention. He sat up and looked over to the small pile of possessions taken from Laudenum Hayes. Her wrist communicator was beeping. A male voice issued from the little speaker, "Sis, you there? Hey!"
A cold chill settled into him. |

Random stood very still. The communication burst into static, but the gist was clear.
Laudenum had been taken.
A rush of emotion charged through him and it took a moment to sort through it. The RSS man. The Concord agent. The threats.
They had taken Laud. They had taken his little sister.
His eyes burned and he spun around and dropped to a knee. He reached under his bed and drew out an old wooden box. He quickly flicked the latches and swung the top open. Gleaming, under the dim lights of his room, was an old Matari boarding axe. Reverently, he pulled it free from its protective sheath and hefted it. The blade was polished and honed to a razorGÇÖs edge. He looked up at Yiole, hurriedly getting dressed, and said, GÇ£I need your help.GÇ¥
Yiole smiled, and nodded. Together, they left his quarters at a rush.
When they entered the common area, Succus was moving towards them. GǣYour sister has been GǪGǥ he began but Random finished sentence.
GÇ£Captured. Yes, I know. Thanks!GÇ¥ Random quickly looked around to survey the patrons in the bar. There were a few he recognized, more that he didnGÇÖt. He drew a deep breath and said loudly, GÇ£I need help! Laud has been captured and I need assistance getting her back!GÇ¥ He turned to Succus and said, GÇ£Look for the KaltanaGÇÖs. Have them organize a boarding party and tell them to bring ALL their toys. If Sheimi or Alice is available, weGÇÖll need outside assistance. WeGÇÖll need to bump the Scorpion to prevent it from warping. I have a bump Stabber in the hangar if someone needs it. No tackle! GO!GÇ¥ He turned and sprinted to the front door with the enormous axe in hand. GÇ£We are leaving!GÇ¥ He shouted, and they quickly exited.
Random and Yiole ran through the halls towards the hangars. Both Random and Yiole calling ahead to their ships. Inhabitants of the station soon moved to the side as Yiole shouted to make space. Those that questioned her warnings soon faced the Matari bull with the great axe. They stopped for nothing.
Yiole flashed Random a smile and sprinted to her Caracal while Random turned to the great Tornado he had recently delivered to the station. The ship was already powered up and the dock master was awaiting him at his pod. He turned to the captain and said, GÇ£Make arrangements for two more. Purchase and outfit them like this one, no matter the expense. This will not be pretty.GÇ¥ He moved quickly to submerge into his pod. Yiole patched into comms and the two began coordinating with the additional capsuleers that trickled in.
The Tornado received the capsule and Random began calling for departure clearance. Regardless, the Matari battle cruiser began moving and Comm Control began waving off ships with prior clearance. The assemblage of capsuleers began moving to the undock.
Docking drones tried to redock the Scorpion due to signals of the lockdown. The ScorpionGÇÖs captain increased thrust and was able to slowly pull away. Inside the Scorpions Bridge, the comms officer turned. GÇ£Captain, I think we have a problem.GÇ¥ The captain turned to the comms station and said, GÇ£On screen.GÇ¥ Suddenly, the image of the Tornado and several other attack ships cleared the undock.
GÇ£WeGÇÖll need a diversion.GÇ¥ Random said. GÇ£I want one volunteer to warp to the belts and find someone, anyone. I need a gank on cue.GÇ¥ One of the frigates peeled away and warped off in the direction of the asteroid belts. Preemptively, Random called on comms, GÇ£Yiole, I know the look youGÇÖre giving me without even seeing it. I will compensate the miner for the ship. IGÇÖll even throw in a nice bonus besides.GÇ¥
Yiole shot back, GÇ£Random, why are you going to need a miner to get shot at?GÇ¥
GÇ£Because, IGÇÖll need someone to pull off Concord.GÇ¥ Random said grimly.
The smaller ships began bumping the Scorpion, preventing it from maneuvering into warp position. Between the bumping ships, and the effects of the docking drones, the Scorpion was slowed to a crawl. GÇ£Remember,GÇ¥ Random chimed out, GÇ£no effects, you can target but no effects!GÇ¥ He activated the weapons array as he moved to Tornado to range, the monstrous artillery guns thrumming into life.
GÇ£Keep bumping, keep bumping.GÇ¥ Random called out. GÇ£DonGÇÖt let it maneuver. If it performs any hostile act, then tear it apart.GÇ¥ Random turned to the weapons crew. GÇ£Overheat the cannons and prepare to fire everything we have.GÇ¥ He said, the weapons crews moving quickly to preheat the powerful cannons and loaders. Random turned to tactical and said, "Lock target and prepare to fire."

"The Nightmare has opened fire!" said the tactical officer, staring into his control screen. "Shields are dropping fast and it's into armor!"
Random turned his focus away from the Scorpion and to Ishtanchuk's deadly Nightmare. He opened comms to Ish and said, "Ish, I'll thank you properly later, but you need to listen to me now! Shut down your guns, hurry!"
The Tornado's comm officer announced, "Concord is on alert! We have been criminally flagged and they are warping in. ETA, 20 seconds."
Random took in the comm officer report and returned his attention to Ishtanchuk. "Ish, power down your systems and begin open communication to the Concord officers. You have to convince them that there is a fake Concord officer on that ship. Show them the bar tapes, send them your measurements but you have to get them to listen!"
"But Random," Ish began, "You opened fire on them!"
"Yea, Ish," Random sighed "I wasn't expecting to redock this ship."
"Tactical, Random" the tactical officer shouted, "Do we take another shot?"
Random looked briefly at the state of the Scorpion, it was in structure. One more round could destroy the ship and he had no idea if Laud was safe.
"Comm, Random" the communications officer shouted, "Concord ETA 5 seconds."
Random furrowed his brow. He couldn't take a chance of the Scorpion escaping but he also wouldn't chance Laud's life. "Random, Tactical" he said quietly, "activate scram and shut down the guns. Lets hope that pretty Khanid noblewoman can talk some sense into the space police."
"All crew, prepare to abandon ship." Random thought, as the first of the Concord ships appeared.

Sector Captain Petro Grainger watched from the bridge of the Concord Battle ship GÇÿExtinctionGÇÖ. He stood, looking intently at the vid screen display and moved to the tactical station. He turned to the comms officer and said, GÇ£Comms, are you sure that code is valid?GÇ¥
The comms officer continued to type furiously onto his data screen. GÇ£Captain, the code is an older code, but it is valid.GÇ¥
First officer Gauge also approached tactical, standing a close but respectful distance away. GÇ£Captain, the code is a security code. As Sector Captain, you have the authority to over ride.GÇ¥
The captain grimaced. He hated when things got GÇÿcomplicatedGÇÖ. Normally, when capsuleer attacks occurred in High Sec, it was ConcordGÇÖs job to come in and end the conflict. Not necessarily meet out justice. He sighed heavily. GÇ£Yes Gauge, IGÇÖm aware.GÇ¥
GǣSensor, Command,Gǥ the Sensors operator barked. GǣWe have multiple targets that have just warped in. Three GǪ Interceptor class ships, Crows, sir. Three more contacts coming in. Marauder Class ships, Golems sir.Gǥ The sensor operator continued focusing his equipment. "I thought for a moment that they may have off grid links but I cannot get a clear signal.Gǥ
Captain Grainger watched on screen as the three Crows deployed in tackle formation around the Nightmare and Tornado. According to their screens, the Nightmare was de-aggressing and by the time any real damage could be inflicted, it would be able to dock. The Tornado, however, was a different story. It maintained its Scram hold on the Scorpion, GÇÿCheyenneGÇÖ. Grainger placed a hand on the Tactical Officers shoulder and asked, GÇ£Tactical assessment?GÇ¥
The Tactical Officer turned to face the Concord Captain. Her eyes were milk white and her slightly enlarged scalp and head was smooth and hairless. GÇ£Captain,GÇ¥ she began, her voice tinged with electronic harmonic frequencies, GÇ£We are two against ten, certainly not an unwinnable situation. My instinct tells me that the Golems will deploy into bastion mode, making the fight much more vigorous. We will lose contact with the Nightmare as it has now de-aggressed. Dispatching the Tornado will be of no effort. There is a Merlin class frigate in close orbit about the Scorpion but as of now, has made no aggressive actions. Most likely course will be that it will dock up.GÇ¥
Grainger turned away from the eerily visage Tactic Officer and said, GÇ£Command, Comms. Put Sector on alert and request back up from any nearby squadron. Also, request dispatch to covert and observe their link ship. Sensors, when you lock down that signal, get it to Sector command.GÇ¥ He turned and looked back into the Tactic OfficerGÇÖs eyes, GÇ£I donGÇÖt mind a vigorous fight, now and again, but Sector command sort of frowns on that.GÇ¥
GÇ£Comms, Command.GÇ¥ The Communication Officer called, GÇ£I have your fish on the line.GÇ¥
GÇ£Bring it up, please, Payton.GÇ¥ A chime emanated on the bridge and the Captain said, GÇ£This is Concord Sector Captain Grainger of the GÇÿExtinctionGÇÖ. You, sir, had better have a really good explanation of why I should hold back Concord Punishment. You said something about a false officer,GÇ¥ the Captain said returning to his seat, GÇ£You best start telling me about this.GÇ¥
GÇ£Most certainly, Captain. I am currently transmitting surveillance that I have recorded from the situation. You should be able to review it at your leisure but suffice to say, the commander of the Scorpion is going about impersonating a Concord official.GÇ¥

RandomGÇÖs eyes narrowed in concentration. Even though he wasnGÇÖt physically looking at the jettisoned life pod, the human reaction to focusing just came naturally. He wasnGÇÖt sure who was in the pod, but he was damned sure that the Scorpion was moving towards it. With a thought, he fired up the TornadoGÇÖs drives and engaged the Micro Warp Drive. His Tornado was not being inhibited by either Concord or the Scorpion and he doubted that the overall mass of his ship would do much to the Scorpion; he figured that if the Scorpion wanted the pod, it was a good reason for them not to have it.
The Tornado built up speed very quickly, being fit for maneuverability and range. Normally, a battle cruiser would be hard pressed to bump a battleship that hard, but the added mass of the micro warp drive should give them a very nice nudge.
Random opened the comm to his crew waiting in the station. GÇ£Captain Massey, would you be so kind as to collect up that life pod and dispatch a skeleton crew? IGÇÖm bumping the Scorpion and will jettison out and attempt to board after the hit. IGÇÖll need someone to gather up the GÇÿnado when disengage.GÇ¥
GÇ£Copy that, Random. We have a crew undocking now.GÇ¥ Massey replied.
GÇ£Be careful, I donGÇÖt know if Concord will take kindly to it. Make sure that the GÇÿnado is clear before boarding.GÇ¥ Random warned.
The Tornado gathered up to its maximum speed and Random began the checklist of disconnecting from the pod from the ship. When the bump hit, jarring reverberations rang through both the deserted Tornado and the Concord held Scorpion. As the repulses on the Tornado kicked in, sending it careening away, Random jettisoned and maneuvered his capsuleer pod to the Scorpion.
GÇ£Ish, I hope youGÇÖre listening. IGÇÖm moving to board.GÇ¥
Random reached down for the deadly boarding axe attached to the inside of his pod. He grinned; it had been ages since heGÇÖd been involved in any boarding actions. The pod was accepted into the Scorpions cargo area. As the pod settled into docking clamps, he hurriedly opened the pod and as quickly as possible, began disgorging the pod fluid from his lungs.
He stood, streams of pod fluid cascading down his body and axe in hand, and looked around the cargo hold. There will be hell to pay. No one kidnaps his sister.
He turned and started running for the crew areas. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

(Meta: Sorry all, was under the weather this last weekend and not feeling very creative. 
I did want to mention that I have no issues with what goes on in the RP thread. Anything that happens to my toons in this doesn't effect me in game. I have no plans on biomassing a character if something bad happens here.
Besides, let the story play out. Lets not worry about pulling a "Dream Sequence" until we know where it's going.) Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ Check out the space music at http://minddivided.com |

Random took one more glance at Twinkle and nodded. On GÇ£oneGÇ¥, he charged around the corner and charged at the remaining crewmen. His manic howl startled the officers enough for Twinkle to plant and fires his rifle. A few of the shots came perilously close to hitting Random but Twinkle was calm and the shots went true. Those that continued to stand met the boarding axe and their gory fates.
GÇ£There is a second cargo bay up ahead. There was no evidence of a cell in the one I landed in.GÇ¥ said Random, glancing back to the armored gunman.
GÇ£I can access the plans to this ship, Mr. McNally. I have them uploaded in my suit.GÇ¥ Twinkle said, checking the ammo pack in the rifle.
GÇ£No need to.GÇ¥ Random responded, GÇ£A Scorpion was the first battleship IGÇÖve ever flown and IGÇÖve built several. IGÇÖm fairly well acquainted with its layout.GÇ¥ He stopped and looked around, listening for any incoming patrols. GÇ£Assuming that they didnGÇÖt use a crew quarters for a cell, there is one more cargo bay left to check.GÇ¥ He stopped and gulped air and squeezed his grip on the massive boarding axe. GÇ£Twinkle, I want you as my rear guard. IGÇÖll lead; you keep a look out behind.GÇ¥
Twinkle nodded and checked the shield charge in his suit. The suit had taken quite a beating and he knew that time to regenerate the suits shields were needed. He was just about to follow Random out of the little alcove when the overhead ships comms burst into life.
GÇ£My name is Matokin Lemant, former officer of the RSS I am now in command of this Scorpion. The former commander has surrendered to me...I am proceeding to dock the ship back at the station.GÇ¥
Random stepped up to an interior comms panel and stabbed the GÇÿall callGÇÖ. GÇ£WHERE IS LAUDENUM?GÇ¥ he screamed into the panel. The echoes of his question reverberated throughout the hallways.
Lemant looked startled and Sharazzi and the former RSS man glanced nervously at each other. Neither had recognized the voice but Lemant was sure it was McNallyGÇÖs. Lemant moved to the comms panel, keeping Sharazzi covered with the firearm. He keyed the comms and spoke calmly, GÇ£McNally, is that you?GÇ¥
Random looked at Twinkle and said GÇ£Change of plans. I donGÇÖt trust this guy as far as I can throw him but weGÇÖre changing course. LetGÇÖs head to engineering.GÇ¥ He stopped at the next comms panel and jammed the all call again. GÇ£Yes,GÇ¥ he growled, GÇ£itGÇÖs me. You have Laudenum. I want her back.GÇ¥ His eyes narrowed and his growl resonated deeper, GÇ£you have 5 minutes to produce Laud, or I will make this ship, and all its inhabitants, part of a very pretty burning cloud.GÇ¥ He turned and ran to Engineering, Twinkle keeping pace behind him.
Lemants eyes narrowed as he glared at Shirazzi. GÇ£Well, we have certainly started a fecal storm here.GÇ¥ He stabbed down on the comm and said, GÇ£McNally, Ms. Hayes was jettisoned off the ship a short time ago. I did that before taking over the ship.GÇ¥
At the next comm panel, Random stabbed the button and said, GÇ£I want confirmation. IGÇÖm not taking your word this time, Lemant.GÇ¥ He sprinted down the hall towards the engine room.
Lemant was watching where the all call commands were coming from. McNally was on his way to the engine room and he was fairly confident that the Matari had the knowledge to overheat the drive arrays to detonation. He stabbed the comms button again and said, GÇ£McNally, I cannot confirm that she is in the station, but I have already started maneuvers to dock. IF you overload the engines, you will cause an explosion inside the station. Once we dock, weGÇÖll get this all sorted out. You just need to be patient.GÇ¥
Random smiled wolfishly as he burst into the engine room. Patience was never one of his strong points. The boarding axe cut a bloody swath and Twinkle shot furiously at any moving target that was out of melee range. Random reached the control panel and began throwing switches. Surviving engineering staff reacted to the alarms by scattering to the escape pods. Like rats fleeing the sinking ship, life pods jettisoned like fluff from a dandelion.
On board the GÇÿExtinctionGÇÖ, the sensors officer called, GÇ£Sensor, Command. Sir, we are reading elevated power levels from the Scorpion and sheGÇÖs jettisoning escape pods. Readings show sheGÇÖs going overload.GÇ¥
Captain Grainger narrowed his eyes, assessing the situation. GÇÿExplosions that close to the station could cause catastrophic damage to the docking area.GÇÖ He thought. Grainger turned to his command chair and seated himself. GÇ£Command, comm,GÇ¥ he said smoothly, GÇ£contact the station and have them reverse polarity on the docking drones. Tactical, slap a tractor beam on the Scorpion and letGÇÖs pull it away from the station.GÇ¥ He paused for a few moments, looking intently on the screen showing the GÇÿCheyenneGÇÖ. GÇ£Tactical,GÇ¥ he continued, GÇ£power up the forward weapons arrays and neutralizers. Calculate when that ship will go nova and give me a ten second countdown.GÇ¥ The various stations reported GÇÿayeGÇÖ to the given orders and Grainger sat deeper into his chair, preparing for the inevitable.

GÇ£McNally, are you mad?!GÇ¥ Lemant yelled into the comm. GÇ£I have control of the ship. LetGÇÖs dock it up and let the authorities sort it out!GÇ¥ The ship lurched suddenly as the collective effects of the docking drones and the tractor from the Concord vessel pulled the ship sharply. As Matokin stumbled, Sharazzi dashed drunkenly for the bridge escape pods. Lemant turned in time to see Sharazzi enter the capsule and blast away. GÇ£Damn, this is not going well.GÇ¥ He lamented
GÇ£I want LaudeGǪ,GÇ¥ he paused, GÇ£I want my sister back and IGÇÖm prepared to destroy anyone in my way.GÇ¥ He said quietly amongst the alarms.
GÇ£She is on the station, damn you.GÇ¥ Lemant growled, his Matari rising. GÇ£She is safe.GÇ¥
***********************************************************
On the GÇÿExtinctionGÇÖ, the sensor operator called out, GÇ£Sensor, Command. Fifteen seconds until detonation.GÇ¥
************************************************************
Random turned to Twinkle and said, GÇ£Time for you to go, kid. Escape pod is there, get the hell out now.GÇ¥ Twinkle hesitated, and Random smiled genuinely. GÇ£Go Twinkle, this is not your day to die.GÇ¥
Twinkle turned and sprinted to the escape pod. GÇ£I do not think it is yours, either.GÇ¥ He threw himself into the pod and hit the jettison button.
Lemant growled into the comm, GÇ£We will go down together then, McNally.GÇ¥ The very blood in his veins turning hot as it began to sing, GÇ£We will settle this in the next life.GÇ¥
**************************** GÇ£Ten seconds, sir!GÇ¥ the sensor operator reported to the Captain.
GÇ£Standby forward neutralizers and weapon arrays. Fire on my command.GÇ¥ Grainger announced.
****************************
Random stood, his mouth moving silently as if in prayer. He gripped the haft of his axe until his knuckles turned white and the wraps creaked. He raised his arms in salute and prepared for shouting his name to the guardians of the afterlife when his wrist communicator chimed.
GÇ£RandomGǪ.IGÇÖm ok. IGÇÖm on the station, safe.GÇ¥ LaudenumGÇÖs voice sounded shaky, but it was clearly her.
Random opened his eyes and slammed his hand on the emergency power down. His body shook with the adrenaline of preparing to meet his ancestors.
Lemant stood with arms raised, howling his defiance and heralding his arrival to the afterlife when the alarms suddenly silenced on the bridge. He growled and spun; his body flooded with energy waiting to burst forth. His eyes wide and searching for the guardians to Hell.
***************************
GÇ£Open fire.GÇ¥ Captain Grainger announced evenly.
GÇ£Sensor, Command! The ship is powering down!GÇ¥ the Sensor operator shouted excitedly.
GÇ£Hold fire!GÇ¥ Grainger shouted, putting an arm up as if to physically hold the tactical officer from firing. He spun to the sensor operator and said, GÇ£Confirm? Are the systems powering down?GÇ¥
GÇ£Confirmed, sir.GÇ¥ The Sensor operator turned back to his panel. GÇ£The ship is powering down.GÇ¥
Captain Grainger sat heavily in his chair. GÇ£Tactical, repulse that damned Scorpion into the docking area. When itGÇÖs past the event seal, itGÇÖs their business. Nav, get us ready to get the hell out of here. When that ship is in, we are out of here.GÇ¥
*****************************
LemantGÇÖs breath came raggedly as the Scorpion jarred again, this time in the direction of the station. He took several calming breaths as the song in his veins quieted. He looked around the GÇÿCheyenneGÇÖsGÇÖ bridge and sighed. He turned to the Nav console and programmed in the docking sequence.
Random walked calmly to the nearest airlock; his grip strangling the haft of the boarding axe. He moved to the airlock door and waited until the sensors proclaimed it was safe to cycle it. When the door hissed open, he stepped out on to the boarding ramp and walked to the crewGÇÖs general unloading area. Any station personnel that moved to stop him paused when they met his icy blue eyes or the gleam of the axe.
Lemant watched Random leave from his vantage point on the bridge. It was not difficult to see the Matari walking away. First, Random would verify that Ms. Hayes was safe, and then Random would come for him. He needed a way to talk the Matari down and focus him on the true enemy, Sharazzi.
GÇ£Damn you, you witch. Why did I let you talk me into this.GÇ¥ The RSS man lamented.
*********************
Random pulled aside the curtain in the hospital room holding a bandaged and bruised Laudenum Hayes. She struggled to hold her eyes open through the sedation. When Random moved to the side of her bed, she gasped and dragged herself to a sitting position; hugging Random tightly and shivering violently.
GÇ£They almost took me, they almost took me.GÇ¥ She said meekly, terror plain in her words.
GÇ£Shhhhh, sis. ItGÇÖs ok. No one is going to get you while IGÇÖm here.GÇ¥ Random whispered, calming the near hysterical woman.
GÇ£They almost took me, like Brandin.GÇ¥ She said, pausing to look into RandomGÇÖs eyes while tears streamed down her own.
GÇ£I will never let that happen.GÇ¥ Random said quietly. GÇ£IGÇÖll keep an eye on you.GÇ¥ He held her tightly, giving her something solid to cling to.
Hours passed as Random held Laud. Eventually, the medications took hold and Laudenum drifted off into a dreamless sleep. Random gave instructions to the medical staff that he was to be called immediately when she woke and no one was to visit her without him being present. The instructions carried an even heavier threat when Random realized that he stood talking to the doctors in undergarments and still carrying the boarding axe. He walked in exhaustion back to the bar and moved quietly through the crowd. A glance up to the bar showed Twinkle cleaning like nothing unusual had happened. He met TwinkleGÇÖs eye and nodded slightly. Twinkle paused and nodded in return, very slightly.

The door to his room opened and he walked inside. He breathed deeply the scents of the room. He could still smell YioleGÇÖs scent in the covers of his bed. He listened intently but heard no sound but his own heart.
GÇ£Yiole?GÇ¥ he asked, GÇ£Are you here?GÇ¥
The silence permeated the room and he moved heavily to his bed. He noticed the datapad sitting on his pillow and picked it up. The light in his eyes died as he read and part way through, his axe dropped to the floor from a hand gone lifeless. He finished the letter, and sat heavily on the bed.

Random glared down at Ishtanchuk; there was an audible creak in the leather wrappings of the enormous boarding axe. GÇ£Ish, I need you to move out of my way, please.GÇ¥ Random said, sidestepping the petite Khanid woman. He scowled when she matched his step and continued placing herself in his path. He sighed, and sidestepped again only to continue to be blocked by Ish, hands on hips.
GÇ£Ish, I donGÇÖt want to hurt you, and I wont intentionally, but you will move out of my way.GÇ¥
GÇ£I wish to know what you intend to do, Random.GÇ¥ She said with the aloof voice of her Khanid ancestory. GÇ£I would rather you didnGÇÖt hurt anyone.GÇ¥
GǣIsh, I intend to check on LaudGǪGǥ Random started.
GÇ£You do not need your axe for that.GÇ¥ Ishtanchuk interrupted.
GÇ£AND, then I intend to find the people responsible and segregate their implantGÇÖs integrated circuits.GÇ¥ Random finished calmly.
GÇ£Yiole would not approve of this.GÇ¥ Ish huffed, staring hard at Random.
GÇ£Yiole is not here!GÇ¥ Random growled in a tone that became dangerous. GÇ£As a matter of fact, I do not know where she went. I donGÇÖt not know if sheGÇÖll come back. I donGÇÖt know how sincere she was during our time together. I know absolutely nothing.GÇ¥ RandomGÇÖs growl grew in intensity and with each statement, he stepped forward causing Ish to move back.
GÇ£She loves you! She said so!GÇ¥ Ish said, holding up the datapad. GÇ£I know her well enough to know that she needs a little time. She will come back.GÇ¥ Her voice softened and she placed her hand on RandomGÇÖs chest, trying to will warmth and patience into the towering Matari.
Random lowered the head of the axe. He lowered his face and scowled darkly. He paused for a moment, contemplating what Ish said. She removed her hand from his chest with a look of concern. She had temporarily pacified the bull, but was it enough?
Random sprang forward and grabbed Ishtanchuk about the waist. He easily lifted her petite form from the ground and took two steps to the nearest chair. Ish felt the corded muscles of his chest and arm and the heat from his body; the man was an oven. He held her tightly, but not tightly enough to hurt her. She brought her hand up and slapped him hard across the face. Random flinched, but made no other response. She slapped him hard again, using as much force as her leverage would allow but other than the flinch of the impact, he made no motion nor made any sound. He gently sat her down in the chair, and then strode purposely to the exit.
Ish cast a concerned look to the exit that Random had just passed through and then turned back to Succus. She noticed that he had been watching intently and with smooth practiced motions, was re-holstering his side arm. Red Fed Grunt.-á Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/

GÇ£You blockhead.GÇ¥ Laudenum slurred as Matokin Lemant left the room.
Random smiled exhaustedly and leaned the boarding axe against the wall. He righted the chair and pulled it closer to the bed. GÇ£What the hell happened?GÇ¥ he asked as he sat down. GÇ£That guy took you, caged you, and youGÇÖre defending him?GÇ¥
GÇ£He couldnGÇÖt tell me. Had to make it look real.GÇ¥ She mumbled through the haze of sedation. GÇ£He was undercover. Had to make it look good.GÇ¥
GÇ£IGÇÖm not buying it, sis.GÇ¥ He said frowning. GÇ£I donGÇÖt care who the hell he is or what the hell he was planning on accomplishing but he messed with family. Skuldalid yfir allr.GÇ¥ He sat back deeper into the chair, GÇ£I should kill him for that reason alone.GÇ¥
GÇ£YouGÇÖre awful testy.GÇ¥ She said. GÇ£IGÇÖm alright here. Go find Yiole andGǪGÇ¥
GÇ£Yiole is gone.GÇ¥ Random interrupted. GÇ£She has packed up and left. I have no idea where she went or if sheGÇÖll come back.GÇ¥ The pain in RandomGÇÖs eyes was plain for Laudenum to see. She placed her hand on RandomGÇÖs arm for comfort.
GÇ£So thatGÇÖs why you are so testy.GÇ¥ Laud slurred. GÇ£Not able to get your rutting on after you heroically save your sister.GÇ¥ Random growled, but the redhead drew a teasing smile on her face that caused the Matari to chuckle. When he chuckled, Laudenum relaxed deeper into the mattress of the hospital bed. GÇ£You are tired also, Random. I can see it on your face.GÇ¥
He nodded in acknowledgement. GÇ£Yea, saving your back side is more than enough for one day.GÇ¥
GÇ£Random, go back to the bar.GÇ¥ She said, all mocking gone from her voice. GÇ£Have a drink, rent a girl and get some sleep.GÇ¥ She settled into the bed again, as if not completely comfortable. GÇ£IGÇÖll be fine.GÇ¥ She added.
Random stood and smiled genuinely. He knew that arguing with her would be useless and he yawned deeply. GÇ£Alright sis, you win.GÇ¥ He reached over and tugged the axe from its resting place against the wall and grabbed a folded blanket from a small cart. With a bit of awkwardness brought on from fatigue, he wrapped the axe blade with the blanket. When he was confident that the blanket was secure, he strode over to Laud and kissed her on the forehead. GÇ£If you need me, call.GÇ¥
GÇ£Just get the hell out of here before you start weeping, you baby.GÇ¥ She drawled back. As Random reached the door, she added GÇ£Send Matokin back in.GÇ¥
He turned to look at her but she closed her eyes and settled into her pillow as if to sleep. His face darkened, but he turned to go through the door and closed it quietly behind him. Just outside, Lemant was standing near the wall looking intently at a picture that hung there. His stance shifted slightly, but he made no other motion to acknowledge the Matari. He walked to the former RSS officer and stood beside him, looking away from the wall as it watching LemantGÇÖs back. GÇ£My sister would like you to return.GÇ¥ He said quietly, scanning the waiting area and nurseGÇÖs station as if expecting attack. Lemant gave him a simple nod in response. GÇ£She told me that this was a sting and that you had no intention of keeping her imprisoned. You didnGÇÖt say anything to help the illusion of your involvement.GÇ¥
Lemant glanced slightly at Random and responded with a simple nod of his head.
Random drew a deep breath and let it out slowly. GÇ£I know sheGÇÖs lying, or at least, she doesnGÇÖt believe that story.GÇ¥ His gaze became icy as he glanced sidelong at his fellow Matari, GÇ£If needs be, I will burn everything to keep her safe. Everything.GÇ¥
Matokin sighed, GÇ£You have nothing to fear from me. I will not harm her in any way.GÇ¥ He shifted his position again and raised his head, looking away from Random. GÇ£If needs be, I will help you.GÇ¥
Random nodded, and then left the hospital, leaving Lemant to enter LaudenumGÇÖs room.
*******************************************
The bar was noisy as the eveningGÇÖs crowd started to accumulate. The ambient noise level required raised voices to speak and occasional shouts and bursts of laughter highlighted the din. Random moved up to the bar and saw Ish sitting on a chair. As he approached, she turned to him with questioning eyes. He looked deeply at her, but didnGÇÖt turn away under the scrutiny. She looked him over and jumped from the chair to embrace him. Random carefully returned the embrace one handed; careful that the axe was nowhere near the Khanid woman.
She backed out of the hug and smiled. GÇ£Yiole would be proud.GÇ¥
He nodded, eyes cast to the floor. He ordered a simple meal and then quietly moved to his room.

Random nearly gagged on his breakfast.
GÇ£Are you serious?GÇ¥ he said into his comm link. GÇ£Sis, you need to get some rest. YouGÇÖre delusional.GÇ¥
GǣRandom, I know it sounds crazy, butGǪGǥ Laud responded
GÇ£Crazy?! An hour ago I was ready to disassemble him and now you want me to save him?GÇ¥ Random said stunned amazement in every word.
GÇ£HeGÇÖs Matari.GÇ¥ Laud responded calmly.
GÇ£HeGÇÖs a kidnapper!GÇ¥ Random snapped back, clearly losing his temper. GÇ£He took you forcibly and IGÇÖm not buying that GÇÿsting operationGÇÖ B.S.GÇ¥ He stood up and started pacing his small quarters in the Greater Fool Bar. GÇ£If heGÇÖs in so tight with the RSS, let them bail him out.GÇ¥
GÇ£Random,GÇ¥ Laud began, hoping to pacify her bull of a brother, GÇ£He is kin and he needs our help. I just feel it.GÇ¥ Random sat down on the bed. He knew that once Laudenum had a stand, she wouldnGÇÖt budge. The realization of this being a fight that he would never, ever, win seeped into him. He sighed wearily and began formulating plans in his head. LaudenumGÇÖs voice continued buzzing through the comm but Random paid very little heed. He knew that her convincing would only distract him from coming up with a plan that had an Isk notes chance in Jita of working.
Chances are a direct assault would be bad. People would die. Normally, this wouldnGÇÖt have been a bother for him but the specter of Yiole and his natural perchance to violence suddenly sickened him. How could he look Ish, Indah and particularly Yiole, in the eyes with the blood of innocent victims on his hands.
He was unfamiliar with the Gallente interrogators so impersonation wouldnGÇÖt work. Chances are, the Gallente station authorities knew who would be sent to question the RSS agent. Without a frame of reference, it was nearly impossible to slip into an interrogator role.
Then, it dawned on him. It was so simple, he nearly shouted .
GǣRandomGǪGǥ Laud continued, GǣAre you there? Can you hear me?Gǥ
RandomGÇÖs face turned tight and he looked at his comm. GÇ£Ok Laud,GÇ¥ he began in earnest, GÇ£if you want me to do this, you are in with me. You need to get your lazy butt out of that bed and get to your work room. HereGÇÖs what weGÇÖre going to needGǪGÇ¥
***********************
Shortly after, Random stepped from the room. The patrons, most of whom were deep into their cups, stopped whatever they were doing and gawked. Capsuleers in various stages of undress were a staple in the Greater Fool Bar. Modesty, or the lack thereof, was common amongst the patrons. What the patrons did see was Random McNally, dressed in a tailored and very expensive black suit, polished black shoes and a briefcase. A pair of darkened sunglasses dangled from his breast pocket protecting an immaculately folded and starched white handkerchief. His face was cleanly shaven and his pale blue eyes gleamed like ice.
Ish turned on her barstool and gasped. She had never seen McNally dressed so stunningly. Her eyes widened as the Matari capsuleer walked up to her.
GÇ£Ish, GÇ£Random began,GÇ¥ I need a couple of favors.GÇ¥
Ish blushed, then seemed to regain her regal bearing. GÇ£What is it that you need, Mr. McNally?GÇ¥
Random leaned in close to whisper his intent. His cologne was intoxicating and Ishtanchuk Fazmarai had to mentally focus on RandomGÇÖs words. GÇ£I need some information and you seem to have the connections to get it. The man who kidnapped Laudenum has been captured by the Gallente station authorities and Laud wants me to break him out. I need to know where he is being held.GÇ¥
Ish gaped. GÇ£Why does she desire this?GÇ¥ she asked with incredulity.
GÇ£She will need to be the one to explain this. All I can say is that my life would have been so much less complicated if IGÇÖd just killed him.GÇ¥
GǣRandom, you know thatGǪGǥ Ish began.
GÇ£Yes, I know.GÇ¥ Random sighed. GÇ£Yiole wouldnGÇÖt have approved.GÇ¥ He glanced around to see who of the normal bar patrons were cogent enough to assist. GÇ£I also need an estimate of the resistance that is keeping him between detention and the ship bays.GÇ¥
IshtanchukGÇÖs face darkened. GÇ£You are not intending to kill, are you?GÇ¥
Random smiled broadly with a wicked look in his eye. He stood to full height and in a clear voice said, GÇ£No, my dear Ishtanchuk, I intend to do something far darker and more insidious than anything IGÇÖve ever done. But I cannot do it alone.GÇ¥ He cleared his throat and continued, GÇ£I need a few people to help me perform the vilest evil act IGÇÖve ever been forced to consider. Something that my parents, bless their departed souls, would never have approved of.GÇ¥
He turned to Ishtanchuk and smiled a sharkGÇÖs smile.
GÇ£IGÇÖm going to impersonate a lawyer.GÇ¥ Co-Host of the High Drag Podcast. http://highdrag.wordpress.com/ Check out the space music at http://minddivided.com |
