Edward-MA-25

"Ah..I see," he said as he put a live electrode against a piece of orange rithum. A small spark, and then the stone was a glow with a moving and lively layer, it occasionally reached up into the air like a flame. but it lasted only a second before the rithum returned to normal and the voltage reading read that the battery was dead.

Hmm interesting he thought removing the electrode finding it melted and damaged.

and then they were at the junction, his laptop read a message,

"Leavings MA-25 and heading for JU-01 estimated flight time will be 30 minutes, before we are orbiting Jupiter"

Rann, Ship

Rann had been about to tell a story before he realized that Ed wasn't paying attention and obviously didn't care.

He made it look like he had opened his mouth for eating by shoving the rest of his burrito in it.

"Sho it shoul ve avout firvy mibuves?" he asked through a mouthful of food.

OOC: took you a while to understand he wasn't listening lol

Edward- ship

"mhmmm" edward muttered as he examined the melted electrode, he lifted it up and gestured to Rann,

"What do you make of this?"

Satyana
RS413

"Idiot huh? pfff.....you come here harrassing us, me and my brother, then you try to destroy my lab! Please get him out of here!




Satyana

"What´s the matter Syke?" She looked curiously at her brother......"Who is this lunatic?"

Rann, Ship

Rann looked at it quizzically, before thinking aloud.

"Does this mean rithum can be used as some sort of power source?"

Rann looked at the computer again; 17 minutes.

Edward-ship


Edward put the voltmeter to the rithum, it registered no current,

"No quite the opposite, it discharged all the energy it was provided in that flame. but mroe than that I would guess it somehow qunatified that energy, did you see how it peaked furthest from the electrode, it's as if electrons in the rithum were suddenly energized and seperated from their nuclues and then moved away fromt eh negative current of the electrode. Though I am just guessing, but it would explain why the fragment in your pocket earlier started glowing when it came into contact with the power source. I'll have to run more detailed experiments on this one."

10 minutes left

Rann, Ship

"Right, have fun with that." Rann said.

Damn, he remembers that I took some.

"I'm going to go get another burrito." he announced as he walked back to the tiny kitchen that the ship had.

He cooked it and ate it, and by the time he walked back to the cockpit, they were entering Jupiter's atmosphere.

He sat down in the pilot's chair. "If any HDF tries to talk to us, ignore it no matter what."

"I know where to land to not get caught."

Edward-ship

Edward stood up and walked into the cockpit,

"Roger that captain," he said with a smirk on his face, "Any Ideas were to go after this?"

(OOC: I have to do something about this . . .something really CRAZY!!!)

Arthur, Research Station 413

Arthur hung his head guilitily.

But he was actually thinking . . .

Suddenly he lashed out, propelling himself forward and grabbing hold of Satyana in one swift move. He spun around her and wrapped one arm around her neck.

"Lower the damn weapon!"

Kiva, RS413

Kiva didn't lower the weapon, he kept it leveled at Arthur. "You're a damn fool," he said. "You know if you do anything to her you are screwed, and now you've added to your list of crimes, so that you're looking at worse punishment if you manage to survive this. I suggest you halt this before I am forced to blow your arm off at the elbow, which I really don't want to do 'cuz I don't wanna get the lady all messy."

Satyana
RS413

She stood absolutely still, slightly suffocating from Arthurs arm around her neck.....thinking about her next move.....

Syke, RS 413

Syke had his own gun shouldered in a flash.

"If you hurt her, I will kill you." he said flatly, his hand tightening on the grip.



Rann, Ship, Jupiter

Rann looked at Ed. "How about the Rykar Empire?" he asked, trying to keep his voice sounding serious.

He continued flying the ship out of sight of the biodomes before landing beside a tiny biodome, obviously not under the human government's control. They probably didn't even know that it existed.

"Just wait; once she knows we're here, she'll give us boarding access."

Rann's finger sat on the button to open the hatch.

Ed-ship

Ed smiled,

"sounds great, I've always wantec to die in a most stupid and ridiculous manner" Ed said sarcastically.

he glanced out the window to the dome,

"looks like a ncie place,"

Arthur, Research Station 413

Arthur relaxed his grip on Satyanas neck, but did not release her.

"Crimes? I haven't committed any except this one here, which I'll have you know wasn't exactly what you'd call enjoyable. Especially with two guns leveled at me."

He paused for a second before glancing at Skye.

"I was performing a military operation, and I initially meant no harm to any of the civillians stationed on board this research station." Arthur rolled his eyes.

"Turns out she is the only civillian stationed onboard. The rest of you seem well equipped and armed."

He released his grip completely from around Satyanas neck.

"You can shoot me now, or let me go, because I am not just going to let myself be taken into custody."

He begun to back out of the laboratory door.

(OOC: If you do shoot him, don't be very creative in exactly where the bullet hits.)

Rann, Ship, Jupiter's surface

"Yeah, if you're a reclusive old hermit." Rann replied, as he saw the tunnel reaching out from the biodome to attach to his ship.

He finally got to push the button that his finger had been on, and he stood immediately.

"Come on, you'll finally get to meet the oldest person alive. Something you can tell your friends for years to come."

He tightened his gun belt and put on his jacket before walking through the tunnel towards the biodome.

Ed-Jupiter's surface
"Nothing wrong with being a reclusive old hermit," he said as he got up and straightened his shirt, he then followed Rann into the biodome.

La-Ippera Artinma the Terrible
Rykian Controlled Space, Above Marcellous IV

A darkly clad figure stood upon the bridge of the Intercepter, a capture human vessel of the battleship status. Among him lay the bodies of Captains and lowly sailors alike, all dead. The blood bathed numerous locals of the ship, but none more so then the bridge. Eventually the still was broke, from the silence came loud scraping noise, one that would accompany the sound of claws scraping against the metal hull of a ship.

His attention caught, a growl of a voice escape, "So.. The battle was in our favour?" The figure stood, back to the uncoming sound.

"Yesss.. The huuumannss didn't expect us. There numberss of dead are greaat!" The voice hissed from the darkness.

The cloaked Rykian shifted slightly, as if annoyed, "Then explain to me why 26 of my vessels are in-operable."

"The huumaannss are stronngg myy greaat lord, they do not give up easily!" The hissing voice sped its pace a bit, sounding fairly nervous.

"Well, see to it that there are no more losses.. Or you might learn how it feels to loose. Consider yourself spared, I am going to the planetside."

The cloaked Rykian moved at a brisk pace down the hall, and to the right. Within minutes the sound of a ship releasing from the dock resounded down the hall.

Rann, Irma's Dome

Rann stopped, and grabbed Ed by the arm to make him stop too.

"Okay, here's some basic information you'll need."

"First, call her Miss Irma. She's weird about stuff like that. Say 'yes ma'am'. No 'yeah's or 'uh-huh's. Same goes for 'no's."

He thought for a second. "Ir- Miss Irma's great-granddaughter's name is Lily. Call her miss too, if you're around Miss Irma."

"Got that? Basically, be almost too polite, and you'll be fine."

Rann didn't bother saying what might happen if one didn't abide by these rules. The first time he had come here with Syke, his brother thought it would be some great joke if Irma set her armed robots after him for not knowing he had to say 'miss.' It took over four hours for him to stop running from them, and another six or seven to finally turn them all into scrap metal.

After that, Irma took a liking to him, and then her reaction to him went to neutral after the whole incident with Lily...

"Here. just in case." Rann added, handing Ed a pistol.

Edward-Jupiter's surface

"Miss Irma," Ed told himself several times under his breath, "I think I can manage that, I have after all spent the past 6 years at a University talking with superiors."

Reluctantly Edward took the pistol Rann offered him. Though he knew he could control his diction, Ed was stil slightly nervous at meeting this woman,

"So how old is she?"

Rann, Irma's Dome

"No clue. If you want to ask, wait until I'm not around."

"Speak of the devil." he muttered under his breath.

Irma was obviously old; she had white scraggly hair that seemed to go everywhere, and sagging, wrinkly skin, but her eyes didn't look glazed over with age, and she seemed to walk perfectly fine, making the cane she carried for purposes of hitting people only.

"Rann Viann if I'm not mistaken. Why are you here?" she asked angrily, pointing her cane at him.

Okay, maybe it's a little worse than neutral.... Rann admitted to himself.

"Hello, uh, Miss Irma." Rann said, almost forgetting the Miss. This woman made him extremely nervous.

"Me and uh, Ed, here, we uh, were going to ask a favor." Rann said, stumbling over his own words. "If you don't mind." he added hastily.
