Rann, Dorm

"Hmm..." he said, staring off into space for a second. HDF? His sister apparently had at least one connection...

"Oh, what?" he asked when he came to and realized that Edward had asked something. "Oh, right. It's in my ship I basically just made it so that when you turn a valve, some of the coolant goes into a chamber where it mixes with some chemicals that a scientist at the station came up with."

He didn't mention that he had stolen the chemicals after researching it through the stations network.

"You can come look at it if you want. I have to go back and get a couple more things anyway."

Edward-dorm, UM

"Sure i'd love to take a look at it, where are you from?" Edward said his interest peaked.

Rann, Dorm

"Research Station 413." Rann answered. He was about to walk out the door when two urgent things suddenly pooped into his head. How could he have forgotten? The station was being attacked and he was being hunted by a crimelord.

Well, he figured that it wouldn't be smart to walk outside without a gun once the crimelord found out, which he may have, depending on who the attack on the station was from.

"Hold on." he said, crawling under his bed. He grabbed a gun out of the holster and put it under his overcoat.

He popped out from under the bed with his datapad. "I forgot this." he exlpained, hoping that Ed wouldn't remember that he had been caryying it.

"If you're coming along, you realize that you have to carry something, right?"

Edward-UM

"Research station 413..." something about it sounded familiar, then he thought about it.

"So you're Satyana Viann's, the famous biochemist, younger brother."Edward said as Ran went under his bed,

"Sure what do you need me to carry?"

Rann, Dorm

"She might be a lot more famous pretty soon." he remarked. Any leader killed in an assault would soon be famous.

He looked at his computer; there was still no signal from the station. He was more than a little worried, but he would soon get sidetracked as usual, and forget all about it for a time.

Edward-UM

Edward didn;t quite understand what Rann meant, but followed the young man anyways. He seemed a bit sad.

Home sickness already?

Rann, docking

Rann and Edward arrived at the ship (with no incident, thank god) and walked over to the keypad to type in the code, and the screen flashed with a warning saying that he just got a parking ticket and should pay it within twenty four hours.

"Damn tickets." he muttered to himself, ignoring the message and typing in the code, making the door open.

"you coming?" he asked Ed as he walked inside.

"Excuse the mess; I kind of left in a hurry." He walked back into the engine room, where he left Edward to inspect his contraption.

He walked into the storage room and closed the door as he tried to contact the station again; still nothing. If he heard anything on the news about his sister dying, he swore then that the ones responsible would pay.

He then noticed everything around him; Syke had actually taken the time to gather both of his piles; the scrap pile and the useable pile.

"Wow." he said, not realizing how many things he had made and scrapped. At least they were here.

He walked back into the engine room, waiting to see what Ed thought of the odd and 'useless' invention he had made.

Edward-Rann's ship

"Yes of course," Edward said as he stepped into the ship, he followed Rann into the Engine room where he was allowed to look at the contraption.

Edward got down on his knees and examied the outside of the contraption, it was made out of scrapmetal, but was still well made. he examined the valves and after a minute had the thing drained and of the engine. the began to look at the inside components. he saw the collection tank, the pump that sent the coolant back into the engine, and then the rather simplistic filtration method.

He heard Rann reenter the engine room,

"Pretty neat invention you have here, the filtration mechanism, is not the most efficient,but it works." he opened a toolbox nearby and got out some forceps, he pulled out two of the filtration rings and switched them, then looking through the tool chest found a small plate of ionized metal. he placed the metal after the last filter, then proceeded to reseal the mechanism.

"There now the filtration should work better, and the ionized metal will remove the coolant odor" he hooked the contraption back up and released the pressure valve, allowing coolant to fill the small tank up. He got a small glass and filed it up withteh fluid, took a whiff and tried it.Edward grabbed a cloth and wiped some oil from his hands,

"Ah much better," he said with a smile, offering the glass to Rann.

Rann, Ship

He tasted it, it was actually better. "Hmm...it is better."

"Yeah, I made that while Satyana thought I was at school. Now all I need is for the water system in the ship to die so I can rub it in my brother's face." he said with a grin.

"Anyways," he continued, grabbing another bag full of clothes, and handing it to Edward, and then taking his considerable tool box and walking out of the ship.

"So where are these clubs you were talking about?" Rann asked, as they walked back to the dorm.

Edward-Docking

Edward accepted the bag of clothes,

"Well the glowing Nebula is right outside the campus, we can go tehre after we drop this stuff off." Edward told Rann. He was satisfied his roomate wasn't as dumb as a rock, like his apst ones had been. rann seemed very god at technology, perhaps he could help design the shield and work on the laser.

After they got abck tot eh room, edward set down the bag of clothes and then got a few things ready,

"We can head out whenever you are ready,"

Rann, Dorm

"One sec." he said, doing what he had been doing for years, just on a larger scale; forging cyber codes.

"Alright. now it's legal." he said, tossing the gun under the bed when he thoughtthat ed wasn't looking.

Edward-Dorm

Edward threw his bag on his shoulder and headed out, leading the ay to the glowing Nebula.
Glowing Nebula
The club seemed nothing mroe than a rundown bulding fromt eh outside, but once Edward and Rann had got through the bouncer (Edward didnt ask how Rann had managed to get in, seeing as how he was younger than Ed) the darkness overwhelmed them. the psychotrophic lights and music filled the air, making it reverberate with every beat. Ed saw some of his friends and walked over to them, he introduced Rann to them,

"Guys this is my new roomate Rann, this is Pete, Phill, Nate, and that pretty lady over there is Hiral." Edward pulled two chairs over, one for himself and one for Rann. A round of drinks was served to all of them.

OOC: Rann is a year younger than Ed according to the character sheet. Syke is the older of the brothers.

Rann, club

Rann gave each of Ed's friends a handshake, and sat down at the table, taking a large gulp of whatever had just been served; there were a few things he wanted to forget right now, and he wasn't thinking about being alert for the appearance of any of a crimelord's henchmen, he was now mostly thinking about this Hiral.

"Any of you know a professor, umm...Grescht?" he asked, verifying the name with his datapad.

Wes Hansek
Rings of Neptune

Hours passed, patrol ships scoured the rings. Droid ships constantly set off sensors, but the Peregrine Warrior would not be sensed, even if a droid ship landed in their particular crevice, they would not be noticed. The power was shut off completely. Every member was running off the oxygen tank. Their ship was in Re-entry form, meaning it didn't look much more like an egg with one end really pointy. Any sound louder than a gust of oxygen flowing through the tank would set the droids, and the doirds were... everywhere.

They were left with using glowing pens in order to communicate. it may seem a little primitive, but no light would penetrate their ship, and they could not allow the droids to sense any electric activity or sound activity, so they used pens.

How much oxygen do we have?

Enough to last us a month

Food?

A month

Water?

Three weeks, six days

Captain, what to we do when we need to use the bathroom

Don't flush, we need that water

Chev better flush or I'll tell the mob we're here right now

[This feels a little undignified, Captain[/i]

Just wait until we sell the Bacteria for triple what it's worth to the Rykars, we'll be rolling so hard we'll never have to do this again.

Maybe we could light a fire

We're not using anymore oxygen than we have to.

I'm bored

Want to play tic-tac-toe?

Ed- Club

Edward ordered martini's for the group, and then spent much time discussing research that his friends were doing. Seeing as how they were all among the elite of the university they all had independent research and loved to talk about their interests. Of course the guys would also talk about any hot thing that walked past them, occasionally running after a certain woman. Only to return empty handed several minutes later.

"Dr. Grescht.... The name sounds familiar, what does he teach?"

Rann, club

"Mechanical Engineering, first year." Rann answered. If he was strict on attendance, there might be some problems.

Rann held his datapad under the table. Still no damned signal from the station. He banged his fist on the table before realizing what he just did. Looking a bit embarrassed, he put his datapad away and his hand in his lap.

"Sorry." was all the explanation he offered.

Arthur, Science Development Room, Research Station 413


(OOC: Hope you don't mind me speeding thins up a bit. )

A shot rang out, and a test tube in the labratory shattered.

Arthur held his gun at level at the inspector, having snuck skillfully into the Science Research labs.

"By your uniform I have identified you as a Human Defense Force officer, raise your hands into the air slowly."

He looked at Satyana.

"You too miss. You're both under arrest by the F.F.A. You have the right of a standard military trial, and you may at any time request a briefing on the charges."

He stepped closer to the pair, but stayed out of reach of a sudden dive towards him.

Ed- Club

"Ah mechanical engineering, tough class. He is a pretty cool profssor though, as long as you show promise he is lenient. And from that crazy filtration system you designed, I thin you will do fine."

Ed didn't drink much, just enough to loosen him up usually. The group barely noticed when Rann slammed on the table, they were to busy watching some ladies on the dance floor,

"Excuse us," Pete and Nate said as they left the table, attempting to subdue two fine ladies.

Ed, sat around talking, and observing. He had a smile on his face, and was constantly laughing. He rarely went out, but when he did he made sure to enjoy himself. He kept an eye on Rann, trying to prevent the first year from getting to drunk on his first night out.

Rann

"Lenience is good." Rann said. He wasn't planning on showing up tomorrow. He had to wait until he had news from one of his siblings; he needed to know when it would be safe to walk around without a gun.

He opened his mouth to say something else, but his datapad flashed and made loud nioses; a message. He looked at it, expecting a message from his brother or sister, but it wasn't. It was from an untraceable (to most) source, and Rann read the message. It merely said. "Where's my money?"

"compassion!" Rann said silently. He looked around nervously; they could be anyuwhere. They could be in this room, in his ship, in his dorm, or even across the system.

He needed to speak with Syke. Badly.

Ed-club

Ed looked over at Rann, who seemed on the verge of panicking,

"Hey dude chill out, what's the matter?"

Rann was looking nervously around him, Ed got closer to Rann and said quietly to him,

"Whats the matter, is there something wrong?" he said glancing momentarily at teh glowing data pad, enough to get a glimpse at the message,
