Chaotic Systems Playground 3 Options

[Dantrag]

Rann, Landing Platform

"Suit yourself." he said, following Ed down the ramp. He closed it, and walked with Ed out of the docking area and into the city.

"We'll scout it out first, before doing anything." he said, more thinking out loud than actually informing anyone.

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Ed followed Rann out into the city. He followed from a distance, with his hadns in pockets and head lowered. He didn't say anything. He didn't have anything to say. He didn't even care to look at the city around him.

Ed followed Rann out into the city.  He followed from a distance, with his hadns in pockets and head lowered.  He didn't say anything.  He didn't have anything to say.  He didn't even care to look at the city around him.

Rann, Jupiter

Rann noticed Ed lagging behind and stopped until he caught up. "Look, you really dont have to do this. I'll be fine."

Rann pointed down the street. "How about you go in there and have a drink? I'll be back in a couple hours when I'm done."

Rann thought that maybe a drink would help Ed out, and besides that, he didn't want to be stealing things with a possibly suicidal person; there was no telling what he might pull.

Ed-Jupiter city

Ed followed Rann's finger to the bar, then looked abck at Rann,

"Are you sure? I can help if you want me too,"

Ed-Jupiter city

Ed followed Rann's finger to the bar,  then looked abck at Rann,

"Are you sure?  I can help if you want me too,"

Rann, Jupiter

"I'm sure. Go get yourself a drink." he said. "or twelve." he added quietly. "If I'm not back in four hours....wait longer." he said with a smirk, and headed off down the road.

Ed-Jupiter's surface

"Okay if you are sure" he said, turning and heading for the bar. "Guess I am entirely useless" he told himself as he kicked a soda can someone had discarded in the street. He turned at a corner and walked away from the bar. Feeling sorry for himself was no way to improve his condition, but he somehow felt as though he deserved to feel sorry for himself.

Rann, Jupiter

Rann walked the next few blocks, and found himself in the not-so-respectable part of town.

He looked at his map one more time to confirm the location of the place before shutting down the datapad. He turned the corner, and looked in front of him.

This isn't a warehouse! It's a damned stronghold!

With a sigh, Rann slowly walked around it, acting as if he were lost just in case they had exterior security cameras.

He saw two possible openings, but they were doors; and likely guarded. There had to be another way.

He turned back the way he came, far enough to be out of sight of any cameras, and suddenly formed an idea. He turned the datapad back on, and loaded the schematics of this part of town that Irma put on there for his use.

He looked at the sewers, and found that there was a way under the facility through them; but was there an entrance into the facility itself? Only one way to find out, Rann decided.

He quickly looked around to make sure nobody was around before pulling out his pistol and firing at the meager lock that held the sewer hatch.

He felt the urge to throw up from the smell, but went down anyway.

Ed-Jupiter City

It didn't take long before Ed was lost, he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings nor which way he had turned. He saw a bioarea arranged like a park and worked his way to it. He found a quiet corner in the park and sat himself down on a bench, where he would remain until Rann found him, if Rann would choose to look for him

[Dantrag]

Rann, Jupiter

Rann climbed down the ladder, and found himself walking along the hanging platforms for maintenance.

He couldn't stnad the smell, so he began breathing through his mouth, but that made it worse; he would rather smell sewage than taste it.

He looked at his datapad one more time, and found an entrance into the criminal facility.

He pulled out a small electronic device of his own design, and within moments, he had the door open.

[Dantrag]

OOC: this is pretty dead, but I think everyone ws waiting on me...

Rann, Jupiter

He got by the guards easily enough, and he used his unnatural eyes to see heat intead of light. That way, he could see any guards through the thinner walls.

He made it to the control room and took waht he needed; some sort of disc with whatever information Irma wanted on it.

He turned to go back, and he saw an enormous red shape infront of him. Switching his eyes to see light again, he realized that it was a guard.

"What are you doing in here?"

"Uhh..." Rann stammered. Unable to htink of anything clever, he ran bac kthe way he came, and he heard an alarm sounding.

Lily, Jupiter

Lily congratulated herself on her ability to stowaway on the ship without the two young men notiicing her.

She had followed the two until they split up, and then she started to follow the one she didn't know; Ed.

And now she was standing across the street from where he sat on a bench.

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

OOC: lol yeah and not sure where to go. Like the elad you put.

Ed-Jupiter

Ed stared at the ground lost in thought. But then something bothered him. a set of eyes watching him. Ed looked around him to find out where the stare was coming from. his eyes caught on a beautiful young woman who had her eyes on him. Ed managed to pull out a forced smile, and moved slightly leaving an open invitation for ehr to come and sit down.

[Dantrag]

Lily, Jupiter

Seeing the silent invitation, Lily seated herself on the bench.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

Rann, Jupiter

He was doing fine for awhile. He even made it to the sewers. A guard tackling him made him lose all progress, and he found himself face-first in the muck.

"Get him in the brig." he heard one of them say, after the disc was taken from his hand.

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Ed-Jupiter

Ed sat in silence for a minute or two, then he looked at Lily,

"yes, I am fine," he said softly,

He then looked at Lily,

"Why are you here?" he asked rather bluntly.

[Dantrag]

Lily, Jupiter

"Nice to meet you too, Ed. I'm Lily." she said, holding out her hand.

Rann, Jupiter

Rann found himself strapped down in a chair. "What the hell is going on?" he demanded.

None of the guards aroundh im answered, but dutifully stripped him of all his belongings except for his clothes.

"Now for these." a guard said, brandishing a tool that Rann was unfamiliar with.

"Get that thing away from me!" he shouted, suddenly realizing the man's intent. Unable to move, Rann couldn't do a thing while the guard took his eyes. He couldn't do anything when he was knocked out either.

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Ed-Jupiter

Rather confused Ed shook Lily's hand,

"pleasure to meet you," he said then looked around him, suddenly realizing Rann wasn't around. in his daze he hadn't paid Rann the slightest attention so he had no recolelction fo twhere he was.

"Where did Rann go off to?"

Lily, Jupiter

"Rann? He's probably doing whatever my granny sent him here to do. Did he not tell you? You were talking to him not an hour ago."

"Are you sure you're alright?"

Rann, Jupiter

He woke up and stood, wondering for a second why he couldn't see a damned thing. When he remembered, he merely put his hands on the wall and walked along it, trying to get an idea of where he was.

He got the idea that he was in a cylindrical room, not ten feet across.

"Can I get some food in here? Or some vision?" he shouted angrily, pounding on the wall.

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Ed-Jupiter

"yeah I'm fine, I think. I remember talking to him, but I don't recall what it was about, or him ever leaving." Ed said rather worried standing up.

"Great, he is probably in trouble and I have no idea where," he then added angrily, kicking the bench while doing so. "damn it. Damn it. Damn it!"

OOC: emotionally unstable? *lol*

[Dantrag]

Llily, Jupiter

"Hey, hey! Calm down!" she said, grabbing Ed by the shoulders. "I remember him saying something about a bar. Did he tell you to meet him there? Come on, try to remember."

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Ed-Jupiter

"I can't. what if something happens to him?" Ed fumed, then threw himself back down on the bench.

"bar? yeah he said something about a bar. But I don't remember which one, Maybe we can backtrack?"

[Dantrag]

Lily, Jupiter

"Alright, You came from that way when I started following you." she said pointing.

Rann, Jupiter

He finished pounding the wall, and he sat down, leaning against the wall.

This is how I always wanted to die; blind and bored as hell. he thought bitterly.

He looked up as he heard a door open, but it was a wasted effort, as his empty sockets couldn't percieve anything.

"Rann, is it?" a voice asked.

"Sure, of you say so." Ran answered.

"I do; that's what your brother called you in that recording."

Rann's eyeless face contorted in confusion for a second.

"In you eyes?" the man pressed.

"Oh. Well are you going to give them back?" he asked.

"Not yet. You see, you and your brother owe me money if you remember correctly. You delivered something, and I haven't been paid."

"You're...him?" he asked incredulously. His luck couldn't be worse.

The man didn't need to answer, for the answer was obvious. "What did you want with that disc?"

"I don't know; it was a job." Rann lied. Sort of.

"Well, who hired you?"

"I don't know! the man was just like you! Never letting me see him or know his name." he shouted. This crimelord that he was speaking to always spoke through a datapad or a voice communication, never video or in person. Rann figured that it was only because of the fact that he was blind that the man was this close to him.

"You had better find out in three days." the crimelord said as Rann heard him moving towards the door. "Or Syke and Satyana might have an accident in that station of yours."

"You leave them alone!" he shouted, as he stood, and ran towards the place where he heard the man last speak. He ran into a closed door.
