Jac says, "I think the van will have to be attached to the bottom of the /Walk/ with grav grapples for us to carry it." Woof sees Mira and Jac standing next to a van in the parking lot of the small seaside village below. Del is guilding the boat down toward the ground. The boat sets down beside Mira and Jac.

He waits until Mira and Jac are aboard with their packages and then lifts the boat up allowing Woof to attach the grapples. Woof makes the attachments quickly and easily, from long practice with cargo boxes, then scrambles up the rope ladder to the boat's open door. "Everything go okay?" Del asks as he glances down at the board in front of him. "Grapples are active." he says, "Everyone ready to lift?" Eris AkU GM

The trip back takes longer than the trip out, due to the van being grappled on under the /Walk/, but Del flies her smoothly, and you make it without trouble. During the trip, small talk takes place. (Refer to what Woof found out about Del in a previous post. Not much more can be gotten from him at this point...ie. that's all I know about him. :) ) Once back at the Starport, Del hovers the /Walk with the wheels of the van just off the surface. Ricardo, Cory and Ukanav are waiting outside to release the grapples allowing the van to drop gentlely to the ground. The /Walk/ lands beside the van, outside the ship. Eris AKU GM

"So, we hire him?" Ricardo asks, looking around to the others gathered near the /Walk/. "Mira, what is the emergency?" Ricardo asks. Eris AKU GM

Jac says, "I got a call from Aunt Mazie. The short of it is, her people intercepted a message ordering Rachel to be killed.

"The coded message from Auntie came in from a ship refueling at the gas giant here, probably will be dropped off in every system in the area." Jac continues, "Anyway, if you have a line on the girl here on Serbia, then she's in real and immediate danger, because whoever is going to kill her probably got their message at the same time I got Mazie's." "Has there been any movement out of that ship that we think brought her in?" Ricardo asks. Eris AKU GM

Ricardo asks. Ricardo turns to Cory, "Cory I don't suppose you have any way to check for incoming or outgoing comms to that ship over there do you?" Just after Ricardo finishes speaking, you see a light come on above the cargo hatch of the /Bright Star/. It's been dark and still up until now, but now there appears to be some activity aboard her. Del starts to join the group then stops in the /Random Walk's/ hatch and calls out quietly, "If I've got a job here I need to know, because I just got a comm from /Bright Star/, they want all the crew back aboard ASAP.

"If it's all the same to you, I'd just as soon, just not go back over there." Del says, "I don't have anything over there except a couple of changes of clothes." > "So, Ricardo, what's next?" Ricardo is considering when Ukanav jogs back over to the group. He had moved around the edge of the ship's boat and was keeping an eye on the /Bright Star/. Where you are all standing you can't directly see the /Bright Star/, and perhaps as importantly, they can't directly see your group standing on the tarmac. "Something's up over there." Ukanav says, "Their cargo hatch is opening." You can hear the high pitched whine of a grav craft starting up from that direction. Ricardo looks around at the others and asks, "What do you think? Hit squad going out?" Del looks confused at this comment, "What are you talking about?" Eris AKU GM

I can see Winter doing almost *anything*." He frowns and asks, "If you think they are about to murder someone, don't you think you need to call the local police?" Ricardo rubs his neck and says, "No, I think we need to deal with this ourselves and it might be best if you stayed in the dark about what's going on. How about you, Ukanav, and I stay here and get the ship ready for a quick lift if we need to." He turns to Woof, "Woof...Cory, Mira and Jac if you use the /Random Walk/ do you think you can track where these guys are going and..." Jac nods, "...and do what *needs* to be done. Yes.

"You're right," he says, taking the shotgun back and putting the sling over his shoulder. "Don't think of that. Think of seeing Rachel again. But put this on anyway," he says getting the armor on her. "I don't want anything to happen to you." He grabs another upper body armor and says, "Or to Rachel." > > > As he speaks you hear the sound of a grav craft lifting and > > > beginning to move away. "Hurry, Mira's getting the boat fired up!"

"Let's go, Mira!" She nods, taking the weapon if its her own favorite stored weapon, otherwise she shakes her head and takes out her own. "With you, Jac. Always." Mira adjusts the armor and then leads the way back to the walk. Mira

"Let's go, Mira!" > > She nods, taking the weapon if its her own favorite stored weapon, > otherwise she shakes her head and takes out her own. It isn't. He was handing you a shotgun, like the one he took. OOC: Remind me, what is your favorite stored weapon again? :) > "With you, Jac. Always." > > Mira adjusts the armor and then leads the way back to the walk. Jac is beside you holding a shotgun in one hand and trying to close his kevlar jacket with his other. Arivits is behind the two of you cradling his long rifle and rubbing some sort of blacking on his face. "That Jezebel woman should be in on this." Arvitis mumbles to no one in particular, "Almost as good as I am, she is." Woof and Lessa follow up. Woof with a weapon (what?) and armor, and Lessa unarmed, but wearing a Kevlar jacket and carrying another. OOC: Okay, how are the PC's armed? Eris AKU GM

>Woof and Lessa follow up. Woof with a weapon (what?) and armor, and >Lessa unarmed, but wearing a Kevlar jacket and carrying another. > >OOC: Okay, how are the PC's armed? Woof kept the shotgun he was handing Lessa, and it's over his shoulder. His primary weapon is a pistol. Remind me to get a longer barreled match type pistol with a laser designator at the next stop. But he's using his standard 10mm automatic. But he is 'Great' with a pistol. He's also wearing upper body armor, and a sheathed survival knife. Woof

We haven't seen her since this afternoon when we left her outside the library." "She's the one with the skill set we might need." Jac says as he dials Jez's number and walks toward the ship. He stops and says, "What do you mean she's in jail? What did she *do*? No, she's Jezebel David, not...oh drat! I don't have time for this now." Jac slaps his comm shut and says, "Jez is in jail. They arrested her for some sort of fraud or something. They think she's some other woman." "We won't have time to fix this tonight!", he says, "Somebody will have to get her out of jail tomorrow."

Jac says, and starts toward the ship...then he makes the call, then he continues to the ship. "Mira, body armor and a weapon for each of us?" Jac says as he spots Arvitis in the corridor. "Sargeant Steves!" Jac snaps with more steel in his voice than Mira has ever heard, "Get armed, and out to the boat, you're coming with us!" Arivits looks shocked at what Jac called him, and the steel in Jac's voice seems to automatically straighten Arvitis' slumped posture into miltary form, and Mira sees his hand start to rise in what might have been a salute before he caught himself. "What?" he starts, then says as he heads toward the ship's armory, "You can brief me in flight." In the armory, Arivitis takes out a weapon case and removes a long, black, dangerous looking, rifle and attaches a night sight to it. He snaps a magazine into the breech and drops another into the pocket of a kevlar jacket that he then puts on. "No night goggles?" he says then says, "I can use my scope." Eris AKU GM

While he's looking at the pockets and wondering why the shoulder pad strap would need to be adjusted he asks," Are these one of those one size fits all things?" "Arvitis, if they are using Sat Nav we might can spoof the Sats. Then we could go where they think they are going and have the jump on them?

With out taking a breath, "You > think Ricky could boost so we could use his transmitter via remote," > he asks? "I doubt he wants to do that." Arvitis says as he steps aboard the /Random Walks/, "If they see a big ship lifting and following them, it might spook them. I know I'd have gone to ground if I'd seen a tank trying to track me when I was in the field." "But, I can track them over the horizon if we can get a platform up in orbit." Arvitis says, "Ricky could do that...or Shawn." Eris AKU GM
