'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. |

The old man didn't quite get it, 'folk comin' out of his basement'.... then the sound of gunfire filled the underground of his domicile and he got it. "Git down here ma.;... we... be going out for breakfast!" The Mrs. came down the stairs and out they went by the back door. ==================================== Looking out the front door Ian could see the house they had just raided across the street and down one building. Out front half a dozen thuggish looking folk stood spread out along the front and sides. Weapons at the ready under large coats. "Witch on a broom here. Call out your locality." said Rose, presumably someone close. Khei / Slade called out an address. Ian noted several papers on a table inside the door. They were one house away. --------------------------------- At the stairs to the basement Sylandra could hear the gunfire below stop. "Up the stairs." someone commanded. |

Glory Becker assumed Bosch's lack of response to be a lack of need for medical attention. "Shiny." He turned around the doc. "Trin. I need you to go up to the bridge, and get in contact with Ian. I know we're not the techies but, if you set up some sort of repeat message sender so we can know when they're receiving again." Mike's head followed up with the worst of what might have happened: Ian walking into a trap and those comms never being put to use again. Becker considered his actions. He could swoop in for the save, but to his memory all that did was put the ship at risk. Plus what was he to do, if Ian and company had been defeated. He could only hope for a response and to work off what they had. "Bosch" He turned back around. "Or whoever's in. What's the security on this Newton guy. We talking fortress and army, or dingy hole and a few friends. Mike was attempting to weigh up his chances. |

Ian ducked back in quickly "We better ou da back. Help is away and trouble is across da street." He looked at Sly "You gob a nother grenade?" He looked toward the door to the basement as he moved toward the back door. |

Sylandra reached into her bag with her left hand, while swinging Bruce over to cover the door. "Might have one left." She tapped the door with Bruce's snout while drawing out the spherical grenade and thumbing the safety pin. Lowering the pistol, she tugged at the door knob and cracked the door just enough to clear the munition, jerked the pin, counted to three and dropped the grenade down the stairwell, before kicking it closed and bracing her foot against it until she heard the blast. Then she made a dead run to the backdoor, following the others out. "Witch, ground pounders out the back across from target facility. Serious company. Come get us." |

Abe was somewhat surprised to see the old couple when they got through the basement. Obviously, they had come upon a domicile. After being sternly warned along with the sound of violence behind the crew, her got smart, grabbed the missus and beat feet outta there via the back door. She looked over Ian's shoulder, she saw the folks out in the street too. Six of them, obviously armed and ready to do damage should they come across them. Rose radioed them and there location was given. Hopefully, help would arrive soon. Ian (and her as well) ducked back inside after their looksee. "We better ou da back. Help is away and trouble is across da street." "You gob a nother grenade?" "I can take 'em out if need be," Abe offered should they need to exit into the street. "Ya know I can. The shoulder feels sore, but not so much that I can't do my job." But Sylandra responded pretty quick. "Might have one left." Sure enough, she did and tossed in back into the Basement to hinder any unwanted guests from the rear. As soon as the blast was heard, they ran out the back door on a bid for freedom. "Witch, ground pounders out the back across from target facility. Serious company. Come get us." Yes, a pickup would be good at the moment. But Abe made sure she kept aware of the places she knew hostiles were from. The street and the basement. She was ready to blow a hole into anyone who tried to aggress upon them now. "Our six is clear so far, Capt'n," she reported even though she was sure that it was entirely possible it might not stay that way. "Call it if anyone shows to the front of us." |

Witchbreath called on the COMM, to the strike teams. "Roof it, hit your z vertical NOW?" Rose meant get high; the tight alleys and streets would make any other pickup difficult. "Copy that? CONIRM!" ... "Glory?" Rose Renwick called out to the larger ship. "Rendezvous number Two. Confirm." Glory waited on the ground, several positions had been set up for Witchbreath to meet up with Glory. Number two as close to the city of Deja Thoris, which they had discussed meaning a speedy switch of personnel and then the two ships would go their separate ways. === The grenade exploded below, the basement door blew off its hinges. Luckily no one was on the ground floor of it. Smoke began to billow out from the basement into the room. The stairs up was clear, though a little smokey. |

Ian ran with the rest and climbed as best he could with his injured hand. Damn Newton for that. Man wanted ta die. Now what was he supposed ta do? Take down the Alliance and let worse men claim whats left? Damn Newton for that too. Just before he started to climb spoke. "Abe, watch our six from down here, Sly, go first and watch for trouble, three-sixty. Once I get up, Abe, I'll cover ya. It just might take a bit is all." |

Glory Trina wasn't getting through to Ian, but someone was hollaring their way. Their partners in crime so to speak. Mike screwed his face as he was called to the bridge for the message before he could converse further with Bosch, or Ryobi for that matter. "Gimmie a sec," was shared before he rushed off to access the comms panel. "Er, negative," Mike replied before raising his eyebrows at how professional he sounded. "We're pilotless, company's gotta come to us." He took a pause. "You carryin' an update on your side?" Edited by Becker, Feb 4 2014, 12:55 AM.

====================================== ON GLORY. Bosch/Ryobi looked at Becker, she seemed to have gone far away for a moment. "I can fly." Her eyes cleared, she stood, seemed to be a little straighter. She looked between Becker and Trina. "It's ok, it's just not... easy being me." Unless Becker objected, she head to the bridge, muttered, "... us." |

(OOC: My apologies, should be "You carryin' AN update on your side?") Glory "Okay," was uttered with some scepticism regarding how clear Bosch's head was. Or Ryobi's for that matter."Well that should work." He looked over to Trina and mouthed the words 'strap in.' Becker began tapping at the buttons on the bridge to bring up the pre-arranged meeting location. "Just don't scratch the paintwork, I'd feel some how responsible." By then the course was set in. "Let's make the save." |

GLORY. Ryobi Bosch sat in the pilot's seat, she adjusted the controls to her own preference of push, pull, position. While she lifted Glory up slow and easy she spoke, "Newton will control the situation, he has planned for all contingencies. It's why I work with him." Glory stayed close to the tree tops. "Killing him is not possible, he'll have anticipated every move Renwick could have planned." She looked over toward Becker. "I'm going to ruin her. Make her suffer." A little smile curled on her face. The chatter from Witchbreath could be barely heard...
"Perhaps you should reply, rather than I." said Bosch-Ryobi. She looked quickly over at Trina, "thank you for helping me." Glory picked up speed, a large bird flew too high and bounced off the front window. "That might have scratched a bit." not likely, but she smiled with the delight of a jokester. "Anything we have, would have been part of Newton's plan." Glory flew a bit higher now, to avoid the numerous birds at tree top and the occasional high branch. "Ian said I'm crew. Am I Mister Becker? Am I still Glory Family?" Her smiled changed, their was something sinister yet longing in it; "Someone once wrote, Family is where they always have to take you back.*" ![]() *someone being Robert Frost. |

"Did we do that? Are we vertical z-ing?" Mike didn't know if they were flying tremendously well or seconds from death, and if he was to reply to Rose he had little idea of what to say. "Yeah, Ian tends to honour that. Once family, always family." He spoke in a very manner of fact way, but soon the thoughts swirling around his head found a question. He squinted his eyes and shook his head clear before pressing on. "So wait, you're working with Newton but looking to make Renwick suffer. That sounds counter... Well it dun't make sense." A common occurrence. He didn't know if he was just talking to one of them, or he was rolling toward another great error in judgement. "We've got a partnership with Rose, and if you're family you got honour that." Becker only hoped he was shying away from this awful feeling he had about the moment they were to land. |

GLORY Bosch looked at Becker, her eyes narrowed. Not sure if he was joking with some sort of dry wit or toying with her on some clever interigation ploy she remained silent a moment. Her eyes returned to flying as she adjusted a few controls, looked over a display showing a map, "there's several rendevous points set up." She made a few more changes after getting the one they were to head to. "Renwick was hired by Lucian Hollows, he's part of Phoenix. They profit from chaos and ripping up the verse. She's nothing but a failed criminal mercinary whore. Phoenix is just another black alternative to Blue Sun. The Core is a disease. The cure is coming. Newton and I are part of something, we're going to win this time. The coming war." Then a slight transformation, a softening of her features; the intesnity to flying remained, but, "I hope Ian is OK. He's no match for Newton, Renwick sending him in; clever bitch. Let him get killed, blow up the whole place probably. I know killers like her. We used to be one." She stiffened a little. "Don't worry, I won't interfere in Glory's business. Her hired slugs bested me, beat me, tortured me, drugged me. Revenge for that is slow and cold." Bosch smiled. "That's something I still know how to do." ![]() OOC: I think Renwick passed on the rendevous, let's assume so if not. ;-) |

Sylandra racked a round into Bruce's chamber and felt the comfort of the heavy pistol/assault gun as she held it up in her right hand while steadying herself with her left, heading up the staircase taking two at a time. Nearing the top, she slowed and went into a crouch for the last few steps, allowing her head to barely register at the cornice of the roof. Taking a second to glance over and duck back, she analyzed the roof top before continuing. [- if roof is clear: -] Sylandra threw herself over the edge and rolled into a kneeling position, her weapon swinging a wide arc to cover any gun fire that might explode to greet her. There was a heating compressor a yard away and she duckwalked to it for cover. [- else: -] Ducking back and holding a fist to indicate they were to hold position, she nodded from Ian to the edge of the roof. "Company." |

Sylandra threw herself over the edge and rolled into a kneeling position, her weapon swinging a wide arc to cover any gun fire that might explode to greet her. There was a heating compressor a yard away and she duckwalked to it for cover. The roof was clear. It took a little effort to peer to lean past the roof and see down into the street, not to mention a little balance. The next house over was Slade and Khei. Slade was in position to fire, Khei waved then pointed north. A dot was there, looked like a ship coming in hot. It grew bigger, very fast. Shooters appeared on the roof across the street from the house of Newton. One took a wild shot. It was about 75 meters away from them. Slade, being directly across the street was only 50 meters away. Those on Newton's roof had not seen him. They did see those with Sylandra as they emerged. (( tough pistol shooting here, rifles and snipers take it away! hit a couple if you so desire. Witchbreath arrives in next Narr post.)) ===================================================== WITCHBREATH Rose called Dr. Li, "doc, prepare to help the wounded, gunshot wounds likely." to Karyn, "Fly her in and pick em up. I'll.... " "Bloody Flower, are your ears on." it was Lucian Hollows. Rose stopped to answer the comm. "Yes Heroin, I am here, a little busy..." "You have been betrayed. T.K. he sold you out, told Newton when and how you were going in." "Really? Operation is a success. Retrieving team now." This did not make sense. "It is confirmed Bloody Flower. You know what to do." Rose looked at Karyn, "Message received." she flicked off the comm, took her small semi-auto pistol and checked the chamber. "I'll be at the air lock." |

As Abe come up, Sylandra waved toward the opposing building, indicating targets. "I can give suppressive fire; I'm fine out to 50 yards and maybe a little further." |

Ian made it up the stairs, and at Sly's nod, over the roof. He covered for Abe as she got over the edge. He way, like any good soldier, and made ready to help as best he could. Blood was caked on his face but his nose had stopped bleeding and his injuried hand was bandaged. He scaned the sky and saw the ship coming in. "Glory, this is Ian, How do you read?" No answer. He ducked as a shot rang out from across the was, to far for a pistol, so he looked to his comms and saw that they were off. He cursed himself for a fool and switched it on. "Glory, this is Dugan, we have five for pickup, one wounded. Newton is down and dead, but it was a trap. Over." |

Sylandra Sylandra rolled onto her back as rounds bounced off the sides of the compressor box. She stared off into the distance, gauging the approaching ship. Reaching into a vest pocket, she pulled out a telescoping gadget and triggered the signal, stabbing the spike into the roof a short distance away. The beacon started its coded bleep and high actinic flash to show their location to the Witchbreath. "Witch, ground party. Beacon up and runnin'. Come alongside t' roof to our backside to avoid fire." Karyn Karyn spotted the blip on her short scan and tracked inbound. On hearing Syl's comm, she called back to Rose. "Coming up on party. They're getting fire. I'll pull up close, but be ready to exchange fire if we start attracting it." |

A would be killer tried to make it up to the roof to lessen the crew by at least one count, but his eyes grew wide with surprise as a hole appeared in his forehead. His orbs glassed over a half second later and he fell to the ground below. Two more tried as well but met with the same fate. What others there might be seemed to decide on a low and slow approach since whatever sniper was out there must have been using a silencer to hide his location from them. at the other end of a scope, Slade smiled to himself as he scanned for another target; not all of his windfall had been whittled down on him alone. It seemed his best friend had picked up a trick or two in her own right. |
