'du Sabre's Trading Post'

Small shuttles come an go about once per night. They usually stay for days, or even weeks. Crews trade goods, some even legal. Rest up and make repairs out from under the watchful eye.

The crew of Glory have retrieved their ship, but it's been slow going getting her patched up and ready for hard flying in the black.

The smaller Witchbreak ship folk have helped out, making a run or two or three to the not far off city of Deja Thoris. A city with little to do with the Alliance, it's been peaceful as both crews rest, have gotten to know each other a little.

Two weeks and it's getting time to be moving on. Trade with others has been 'profitable'. Desired goods purchased, full larders even if not with the best of flavors; and crew members have considered their choices, and discuss them still.

And there's a confirmed rumor that Sonya and Tobias Hawke have been sighted on Athens (Sonya's home). Confirmed by a Sonya family member.

A man was coming up toward the entrance to the bar just as the two women were leaving. he was dressed all in black, but it was apparent that all of his garb was of high quality from his broad brimmed hat down to the high shine on his boots. one well manicured hand held the handle of a carpet bag, while the other tipped the brim of the head ware as the distance to the ladies narrowed.

Slade Jackson smiled, the light glinting off of perfectly white and polished teeth.

"Hello my dears, good to see you again. I've had some grand high times, but I find myself growing a bit bored with vice for the moment, plus I have expensive tastes. I was going to go into the bar here and look for work, but what a stroke of luck I ran into you. I believe you mentioned more work for the same pay. I've resupplied on ammo, so if you'll have me I'll come along since we had a grand adventure the last time. What do you say? Got room for me, good ladies?"

The sniper took his hat off and bowed to the both of them.

Engine Room - Glory

After the final look over and scan of the engine and all her parts, Khei was satisfied that all repairs and maintenance had been done up to snuff.

She stepped back and smiled to herself before putting her tools and scanners away.

"Better go check on the kid. Heh"

She chuckled and shook her head. She never pegged the Captain as a father but here was his kid aboard the ship.

She made her way to his room to check in on the boy when she discovered the room empty. She checked the room thoroughly before she started looking though the rest of the ship.

"Ian? Now's not a good time for hide n' seek buddy. Where're ya at?"

Mike watched the exchange between captains get heated then level out again. Soon enough Renwick was taking her leave, not without extending an invitation though... to the 'women.'

"We don't do simple, do we Ian?" He said it hard faced as he watched the others departure. "Go ahead. I'm gonna grub up, get Trina a dish too." Becker had been existing on a empty stomach, and despite the allure of scotch was showing better judgement.

"Hey she said something about a tech right? Tell her we got Khei, more than other for any task she's got."

Ian moved to the top of the stairs. "Up here Lady Khei." Wild child or not, he had been taught manners. While he waited for the techie to ascend he returned to pick up the wooden practice swords.

He leapt from bench to bench, the scarf he had found was wrapped around his head.
"Done you be demon Tobias Hawke, you will reave in this verse no more." sword swung and he struck at the invisible enemy, the young boy re-enacting a vid he had seen not too long ago.

When Khei arrived, Ian had a second wooden sword ready to offer her. "You want to be the pirate... but the pirate has do die, the good guys always win."

======================================

"Good to have you back Slade. We do have need."
Need indeed, they'd been outnumbered back there and Glory had held the upper hand. It could have gone south if they'd been so inclined. They had not.

Once inside Witchbreath, before the others from Glory arrived, Rose gave a summary.
"We've got to get inside a local Tong stronghold. Senator Seliator told some tales, only those that heard them are there. Elimination."

"Glory has the tech expertise, Dugan has a rep for electronic go arounds: we go in ourselves and do the wet work. It means Newton Devici again."

And they all knew Tongs would fight, and be loyal.

The siight of the job was nearby Deja Thoris City, which as it happened was just where Slade had been found much of his money slip away.

Never in his short life had Li ever even dreamt of being involved in a situation such as this. Various thugs and killers and crime bosses at each others' throats; the tension was so thick that he was practically being smothered by it.

A sharp stab of regret caught him in the stomach every time Ryobi's name was mentioned. It's not like he was the one interviewing the poor gal, he was just there to assure her well-being (if one were to use the term loosely), but it didn't make him feel any better. She didn't seem like she was a bad woman, was easy on the eyes, and the doctor got to see more of her than he bargained for. Not to mention the nice handful of credits that Rose gave him for his medical efforts.

As his two ferocious female friends flew the coop he decided it was in his best interests to follow suit and, after curiously inspecting the new arrivals (especially the one with the large shiny grin), stayed on Sylandra's heels as he made his way to the Witchbreath, enjoying the view of the ladies' well-toned hips on the walk back.

With a sigh of relief, Khei followed up the steps to find Ian in his imaginary world. She smiled remembering that there was a time, once, when she shared in that world.

She smirked, accepting the play sword and nodded.

"Maybe in holovids. Sometimes t' pirates are the good guys. Heard a story once when I was a kid 'bout a pirate back on Earth that was who was feared by even other pirates!"

She tried to make a exciting face while describing the story before joining Ian in the coming round of Spacers and Pirates.

Ian looked at her a little suspiciously at first, then realized she was game to play.

He made some fairly practiced strikes and lunges, well... for a five year old. Then stepped back, remembering the words, or something close from a vid.

"Your vile motives for plunder do not impress me Captain Battle. surrender or be strickned down." There was a bit of a giggle then a loud "AAayyaarg." as little Ian went back on the offiensive.

Ian looked around the bar and saw Abe as well as Karyn

from Mike
 
"We don't do simple, do we Ian? ... Go ahead. I'm gonna grub up, get Trina a dish too."


He shook his head at Mike's comment

"No we dont."

from Mike
 
"Hey she said something about a tech right? Tell her we got Khei, more than other for any task she's got."


"Yeah, she's even better than me."

Ian had been trained well by the Alliance, but Khei seemed to be able to fly when he could only run on water. Metaphorically speaking, if he slowed down to walk, he sink. Khei could come to a complete stop and still be a few inches above the surface.

He shook his head again, a smile on his lips.

"You two up for it? It means that we'll have yet another dangerous woman on board."

He looked over at Mike.

"Better tell Trina, once yer back aboard, that we'll need her expertise shortly. A torture survivor."

He stood and made ready to go over to the Witchbreath with two very deadly women and pick up an even deadlier one, though she may be wounded, that might make her all the more deadly.

Should make things about even, he thought

Slade's smile never faltered.

"If it were easy, it wouldn't be near as much fun. Kill everything, get paid. Right-o. As you know, I'm morally against such acts, but a hundred thousand credits is great balm for the soul."

Jackson winked at Rose as he chuckled at his own humor.

Sylandra turned on Slade. "The silver can be either boon or bane. Be careful of what job you take and the course of your action, sir, or you might just find yourself on the wrong side of the coin." For a moment, a darkness shaded her face but then a smile broke and she giggled. Turning, she continued on her way following Rose.

ON WITCHBREATH.
Ryobi was still drugged. Bruises from a nasty fight some two weeks ago still showed. He eyes were glazed like she was trying to wake up from a very deep sleep, but just could not do it.

"She's still under the influence, take a few more hours to get her head straight." said Rose

Only the cargo area and lounge/kitchen area was opened to visitors.
Rose sat at the table in the lounge, a map of a nearby city spread out.

Ryobi/Bosch was returned to Glory, sluggish; she didn't seem to recognize anyone. Her physical injuries were not new, so it was obvious she had not been tortured in that manner.

Rose Renwick, Slade and Sylandra waited for Ian and his chose associates at Witchbreath.

"I'm glad you're back Slade. We're going to need you on this one. Syl, what do you think about letting their pilot do our flying. I could use you inside.?" ask Rose.

Khei chuckled and brandished her own sword as Ian fell into character.

She too allowed reality to slip away for a spell as she pulled a strip of cloth she'd been using in the engine room and tied it around her head, over one eye, as a makeshift eyepatch as she recited a line she could remember from an old vid we watched often as a child.

"Aye! You'll ne'r take meh alive ye cowardly cur!"

She followed Ian's lead as they mock battled careful not to actually injure one another.

The doctor once again emerged from the nearby lavatories. His hair was combed and neatly gelled back (he had been styling it the same since he was a child) and he smelled much nicer than earlier. He was also looking a little sweaty but, thankfully, not in distress as he was earlier in the café. Perhaps he was working on a difficult puzzle while using the toilet.

Choosing not to interrupt Rose debriefing the crew inside the Witchbreath, Li pulled up a chair by the table and listened with great intent. He was still dumbfounded that the crew had let him listen in to all of their plans. True, he had been with them for a couple weeks now, but he had no allegiances, no friends, and no promise of receiving any of the spoils. Why did they so openly trust a stranger with such dangerous and valuable information? Surely the Alliance had a reward for turning at least one of these individuals in.

As he thought more and more about the situation his anxiety began to overpower him. There were so many variables to take into consideration; surely Rose knew that there was a very good chance that they could get killed or, worse, taken prisoner by the Alliance. He was about to interrupt the meeting by expressing his concern but decided against it. Probably not the best idea to let the group know that he was by-and-far the weakest link (like they already didn't know that) and a coward on top of that. It was best to wait for his captain to finish, maybe afterward he could attempt to converse with Rose if it didn't involve embarrassing himself any further.

The kid seemed to be in great shape. Little Ian didn't get tired, but he did get bored easy. And his little mind seemed to be grinding away, "Hey, I got an idea; let's say we've made friends and now we have to toss all the bad pirates off Glory." That the boy wanted to see the ship and was going to have Khei show it to him.

From what she knew, Ian the larger had not been around his son much. And the mother was... kind of an enigma. But this little kid was 5 going on 50?

"What do you say Ji Ji*?"
Ian Gulliver was smiling a near irresistable smile. He knew she knew he was asking for favors. Favors not unreasonable, and that he was using his charms as a little boy to get what he wanted.

*Ji Ji, affectionate term for big sister.

=====

"Dr. Li." said Rose. "I do appreciate your help."
She was watching Rex Yangree on a vid screen pacing about Witchbreath.
"I know you are now aware of some aspect of... of what we do; but I assure you.." she slid her arm into his. "We don't hurt civilians." (a blatant lie, they did; not intentionally, but...)

"This is about several darker elements trying to hurt each other. I," she looked at Sylandra, "we just profit from it."

"And we could always use a medical man. There's an excellent facility and a good bunk that goes with it if you'd like to join us."

"May I show you?"

..... waiting for Ian and his women to return, after presumable taking Ryobi/Bosch to Glory....

((OOC) ...waiting on his 'women' ??? Getting me in trouble Tojo??)

Ian shook his head once when he saw Bossch. How they had gotten her was mystrey. She had stood toe to toe with one of his crew back on Verbena and had practally taken down. As well as he himself, and Kat. It was Kat that had saved the day as he had recalled. But they had rescued Reese Foster and he was glad of that.

The next time he had seen Bossch was on the Baroness, just before it opened to the public. She was just about to rape him, or at least, force her way on him, when he had hired her for more pay and a place to call her own.

She had killed those that would do the Glory harm and. for a while, been crew and family. She left with Jack Wolf to the Mei-Li and went out to the Black from there.

Now she was back.

Sotra

He helped her to the ship and put her in her room, listening to Ian and Khei play Pirates.

He remembered Captain Battle. He was trying to remember if they had met and wondered if it was just envy and a wish to have met her.

Now was time for business as he headed back out to the Witchbreath.

Even though she had stayed her distance, the crew of the Witchbreadth managed to zero in on her. So she moved to join then anyway. After all, she was just waiting to find out about some jobs and had been cooped up for a while on the ship recuperating.

"You two up for it? It means that we'll have yet another dangerous woman on board."

She shrugged as she looked at Ian. He turned to the man she found out was named Mike and told him to tell Trina to suit up and be ready for doing some doctoring.

She held her injured arm close to her body as she made sure Dude was ready. If she needed to shoot while they were running about now, it was going to hurt like a bitch. As they began to walk outside, she leaned up and whispered in Ian's ear.

"Just backin' you up. I still ain't decided on whether or not I'll be stayin'."

She just wanted to be clear.

When they got to the other ship, they gathered up the woman that Ian insisted on taking on board. She looked like Hell. She definitely needed some medical attention. As they went back to Glory, she watched their six, not trusting any of their new "associates." If they could do this to someone, what would stop them from trying something with the rest of them?

Once arriving back at Glory, she saw Ian and the injured woman to the med bay. They were to go back to the other ship now.

"As I said, just helpin' out, but what's the plan?"

No matter what, she didn't want any of them going in blind.

Karyn
She followed Ian out of the cafe, but when the other woman with the injury seemed to take up guard position, she headed instead toward the Glory. She wanted to make sure the ship was secured and that the bridge was still hers. She walked the length of the ship, her arms swinging lightly at her side. There was something in the air and she felt danger was out there, just waiting on her. Something didn't feel right about this "job." There just wasn't anything specific, and as she neared the medical bay, she saw Mike talking to the doctor.

"What do you make of it? The job, I mean? It seems like a simple plan, but there's just something that is bothering me, I can't put my finger on it. "

Once Ian and Abe had returned, along with the stranger, put her into one of the rooms, he turned and waved Karyn to join them. Back to the other, smaller ship they headed.




Sylandra
Syl followed Rose and Li to the medical bay on board the Witchbreath. She pulled out her personal data pad and keyed in the cargo bay vids, keeping an eye on the open ramp. Her secondary job of security meant that if anyone unworthy approached, she would need to be ready for them.

As Rose pointed out the well equipped suite to the doctor, Syl noted the approach of the other captain and one of the women from the cafe. At least it wasn't that gorram Alliance bitch.

"We've company, Rose. Looks like they're back."

Slade entered the ship with his team, allowing them to go ahead to the med bay with the stranger whom Jackson gave a blinding smile and a nod to.The former pirate hadn't been given quarters yet on the Witcbreath, and given that the distance to their next mark was close at hand, he figured he wouldn't be given a place to call his own aboard her this time either. So, carpet bag near at hand, the sniper stayed in the loading bay for lack of anything more productive to do.When he saw two strangers approaching, the black clad man put his case down, and for some reason buttoned up his long coat. Then, after retrieving his bag once more, the hitman approached them with a hand out.

"Welcome to the Witchbreath. Whom do I have the honor of addressing?"

Ian had nodded at Abe's remarks, but hoped that she would be staying with them.

At the entrance to the Witchbreath there was another man, also in black. He had hihand out and a bag in the other.

Ian took his and shook firmly.

"Dugan. Captain of the Glory. You?"

After Slade gathered the two visitors they were escorted to the lounge.

Rose had carefully arranged them around the table. She and Ian sat side by side with Abe next to her and T.K. next to Ian. Across from her was Sylandra and Karyn. A deliberate attempt to not put them on opposing sides of the table, a momentary thought that maybe Syl and Karyn shouldn't have been seated togehter, but then, that was the idea, shoulder to shoulder.

Slade was left to linger near the food and beverage, instructed to be innocent and serve as needed. Rose didn't expect trouble. Didn't want it. But it paid to be ready. Still, she spoke pleasant yet professionally to keep things on a business basis.

Dr. Li was asked to not be in the lounge but to familiarize himself with the Medical Cabin, if he was so inclined.

Coffee and tea were available, as were some fine bottles of scotch and vodka; beer was in an iced bucket. Small sandwiches were on a tray.

On the table were maps, one of a neighborhood of Deja Thoris City. "this is our target, it's a row house" she laid out the floor plan.

"We've got good intell," she pointed at what should have been the kitchen. "This is their tech center. As we'll go at zero two hundred in the morning it will be empty. Dugan, you and your techie will need to access it... through this window, then shut down all the security. We'll go in and deal with the data issues in the basement. That means you'll have to override the side door which is close to the basement."

"Now. This isn't a data extraction. The data is in the head of at least one person. Newton Devici. He's a former head of a core Tong. How he became an operative of the Underground I've no idea. Rather he's a true believer or just working for pay, I don't know. But he's dangerous and extracted information from Senator Seliator. Information that if the underground gets, they'll be able to unite and presumably start another civil war."

"My team will be taking out Devici and whoever he has with him."

It was laid out, straight forward and simple as plans went.
