Kratos
"Major, actually. So despite the fact you had him handcuffed on the floor, you have no idea who he was or why he was here?"

Syke, Research Station

"What is it?" Syke was about to ask as he walked up beside Satyana. He stopped though, when the Major started his interrogation.

Satyana station 413




"That is right Majoir......unless this young man here have something he would tell me? "
She looked at her brother......sternly in his eyes



"Well dear brother of mine...do you by any chance have a good explanation why we were attacked?...AND also what your sweet broter is up to ??"

Syke, Research Station

"He's obviously a radical activist, that's the only reason I can think of. And Rann? He went to the University; he asked me to clear up the financial help with you."

He looked around at all of the military men around him. "The whole college thing would be best discussed later though, right?"

Veda
Outside Mars, Research Center 413 - Science Quarters

"Hmm..." Was all that came out of Veda's mouth when they discussed about the handcuffed man. It was pretty clear he needed to be with the FFA or something.

"Anyway... It wasn't like we had a vision this was going to happend, but we came her for aid" Veda continued, he was eager to get his cybernetics fixed.

"I was wondering if any of you would be able or know someone that can fix my darn cybernetics in my arm here. I got it while in the field and it has been damaged in the energy cells on our recent operation. So I could need to get some work done on it, new energy cells, better connection with the nerves and add some small protective plates and stuff like that inside it... I would really enjoy having some kind of weapon on it, a knife or something that I can take on and off" Veda added as he thought back on when his arm got wounded, that was pretty much the time when he could have needed that knife.

(OOC: I'm serious about a weapon on it... Would be cool... )

Satyana station 413

She looked at Syke, not convinced he was telling her the truth..he was probably covering up for Rann ....as always, but she thought that she would not press him...this time, anyway it was a good thing those brothers really stood up for each other.

"Huh...financial help????, tell me more....."

Avlin Cox - University of Mars Delivery Entrance - Tight Spot

"Well, crap on a stick. I assure you I've got nothing to do with it."

Avlin began sweating. He quickly looked around - if things got messy, he knew Jecq and Chris both carried pistols, and Khalid insisted on walking around with a scimitar. His personal weapon, however, a self-made machinegun, was back at the ship.

Edward-Docking Station

Edward looked at the men before him,

"You're lying, your leg muscles are spasming, your hands are shaky, you avoid looking into my eyes when you speak, and your face is covered in small beads of sweat. So lets stop the facade and return the rithum,"

Rann, Docks

"Ed, stop fooling around with these guys and hit the detonator." Rann said, hoping he would catch on. "If they don't want to give us our Rithum, we don't want to give them passage out." Rann said, nodding towards the ship as if he had actually set a bomb on it.

Rann loved this about smuggling; it was often all about bluffs and wits, not always the number of guns.

They would probably see it as a possible bluff, but would they take the chance?



Syke, Research Station

"Yeah. he got a 590 on his final, or something ridiculous like that." Syke answered. "He got a large scholarship; the school will cover three-quarters of the tuition, and he was wondering if you would pick up the rest."

"When we got under attack, I told him to go so he wouldn't get caught up in it. You know how he gets in these kinds of situations."

Edward-UM dock #7

Edward gave Rann a critical look, as if to suggest that Rann should not have revealed the secret, even though Ed was jsut trying to figure out what Rann wanted him to do. He reached into his pocket and got out his handheld computer, using the stylus he connected with the ships computer and proceeded to break down it's defenses, Edward was sure that Rann was jsut bluffing, but Edward figured that for the bluff to work, something would have to happen. within minutes he was in the mainframe, he pulled up schematics of the ship, and his eyes flitted back and forth trying to see a weakness to explot.... he checked the cargo hold of the ship and inventoy seeing what was in the crates, he also saw the mechanical arm used to lift heavy crates into the ship, he smirked. judging from the contents in some of the containers there could very well be an explosion. He entered in a command to the robotic arm, and a verification request cae up, Edward didn't confirm yet, insted he lowered the handheld computer and looked at the smugglers,

"you heard the kid, we can do this the easy way or the hard way,"

Avlin Cox - Univ. Of Mars Delivery Entrance

"..." Avlin sighed.

"You're lucky I don't want things to get messy.. OYE! Get the real thing."

His three friends went off into the ship and came back later with more crates, which they dropped off infront of the students. Attempting to drop them onto their toes.

"Happy now?"

hamster cave kids... I'll remember this...

Satyana station 413

"Hmm....very well, I guess I´ll help out then...after all he´s our brother, and I ....feel responsible for him...but I gusee I´ll have to go to UM to check out what he´s studying and how he´s doing...maybe he needs something else...."

Edward, UM

Edward avoided getting his feet squashed by the crate, he stoped down and opned them inspacting the contents, the missing rithum samples where enough,

"Thank you gentlemen, hope you ahve a pleasant flight back."

Rann, Docks

"Yep. Thanks." Rann said with a grin.

OOC: What? Rann's insolence paid off? It was suposed to get him in trouble

Syke, Research Station

"I think he's studying in two fields; mechanical something and something else with computers." Syke winced when Satyana said something about going to see Rann at the university; he didn't want his sister around Rann, mostly because he was being hunted. Syke had been planning on leaving her on the station while he ran away somewhere else...

"How long of a visit are you planning?" Syke asked. "I mean, can this place run without you?"

Avlin Cox - University of Mars - Delivery Entrance

Avlin muttered something and a wicked grin crept onto his face as he and his band of lowlife scum walked back to their ship.

[ooc: planning something...Dantrag, checkez-vouz PMs in a moment]

Edward-UM

Edward glared as the men left,

he carried both the crates and walked next to Rann back to the lab,

"Do you always look for trouble?"

Satyana, station 413




Satyana turned to Veda, saying:
""Ahhh, ok...I think maybe my brother here would know about cybernetics......or he´ll know of someone reall skilled I´m sure!" She turned to Syke, smiling....



OOC: Oops...so she should not help him? well that can be fixed....I´ll let her account in the bank be ..ehhh currently inaccessible, she won´t be able to help him....just wait!

IC:

"Ah well, Sykie....don´t know!.....hmmm you wouldn´t be hiding something from me huh?......and the station could run without me....for a short while!"

Satyana went to her main computer in order to transfer some money to Rann.....but the blinking message on the screen saying: "Access denied!" made her frustrated...

"Damn it.....can´t transfer at the moment...he´ll have to wait......"

Rann, UM

"Do you always do what someone says without question? It was obvious that he was fooling you. It doesn't matter though; we got the rithum, right?"



OOC: Satyana can help; doesn't matter.

Syke, Research Station

"Cybernetics? Talk to Ra- Oh, he's' gone." Syke said, forgetting that his brother wasn't around. "your account is down?" he asked, looking over her shoulder.

Edward-Um

Edward let out a small hiss,

"No only when i want to avoid strenous circumstances. I ahve a feeling thats not the last we will see of those men Rann," he said as he entered the lab.

"Now where can we keep rithum in a safe location..... that no one can break into and get," he said surveying the room.

Rann, UM

"So what if we see them again? We'll out-wit them or out-fight them. You can't tell me you didn't have fun back there." Rann smiled to himself. Even if Ed didn't, he sure had fun.

Rann told himself to pay attention; he might need to get his hands on some rithum; such a large shipment, and his own rounds were wearing thin...
