| Abbot looks at him giggling as well. (I wonder if she bites? Hehe.) The woman looks up at him into his eyes and then sighs. "Fine. However it is not going to go unpunished. How can I help? It is the least I can do. I won't take no for an answer." |
| Cyn scratches his head in thought. "I don't know...I'd have to check with the captain first. We really don't need anything done right now..." He trails off in thought. (I could have her be my little helper...he he. No. I don't need her for anything. She'll just be a hindrance...) Zaine walks over to the woman. "Are you well enough to be walking around now Miss? I saw the crash. it looked a bit on the serious side..." -- Alexi stands out front of the hospital, waiting impatiently for them to come. (I wish they'd hurry up!) She paces back and forth several times before finally settling on a bench. |
| She looks at him wondering why he is so nice. "Y-Yeah I will be fine. See?" She smiles takes one step forward and trips into him so hard that they end up on the floor. "Oh f*ck. Uhm, oops." ^_^' --- All of a sudden she feels a hand on her shoulder that is soft and comforting. The person behind her can not be seen. She feels him or her get closer to her and their breath is warm on her neck. A familiar voice is heard. "Are you alone as well?" |
| Cyn watches it happen. (Wow...she's clutzy...) Zaine is completely dumbfounded for a moment. "Are you all right?" He asks her. He pushes himself off the ground, bringing her with him until she is standing on her own. --- Alexi jumps inspite of herself. She looks down at the ground and tightens her clasped hands. "Yes." She says quietly. |
| "May I sit with you?" Cody smiles and walks in front of her. --- She nods. "Yup, Yes thank you." She smiles nervously. "I am fine. That was just an accident. Sorry." She slightly giggles. |
| Zaine smiles warmly. "It's alright. Accidents happen." Cyn wants to face palm, but does not. (Wow. Smooth.) --- Alexi smiles weakly at him and moves over for him to sit. |
| Brink speaks as he sits. "I understand you dislike hospitals?" --- She smiles. "Alan. Alan Finn." |
| Zaine smles again. "I'm Zaine Maddox." He turns to Cyn. "I don't see a reason Miss Finn here shouldn't come with us if she feels she has a debt to be paid." Cyn just shakes his head. "Alright. Fine." He leans into Zaine. "But you're taking the hit for this one." --- Alexi keeps her gaze on the ground in front of her. "Yeah." She pauses. "I've never had good experiences here. I guess I've just grown to detest it." Then, in a lower, quieter tone: "Maybe even fear it..." She looks up then. "I don't know..." |
| Brink nods understanding. "I understand. It is just me and my brother. I saw my parents lives slip. But you know what? They would want us to live happily through the years they could have lived." He smiles at her and lays his hand on hers. "One day you will get the strength." --- Alan looks at the ground. "I hope I am not a burden. I am telling you though I am one of the best damn female pilots you've ever seen!" She gives a confident and determined look to Cyn. |
| Alexi does a mock laugh. "I've been trying, but my past always seems to come back and haunt me." She lays her other hand on top of his. "Thank you." --- Cyn chuckles. "We'll see." (I've known a pilot to call themselves one of the best after crashing their ship. Women.) |
| Brink looks at her with sweet eyes. "Never a problem, Alexi." --- Alan smiles back hopeful and hugs him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" |
| Alexi stands bruptly in the hopes that he would not see her blush. She laces her fingers behind her and stands so that she is not facing him. --- Not a hugable type, Cyn just stands there a moment, waiting for her to stop. Zaine just shakes his head. (Real smooth Cyn.) "We'd better get going before Alexi decides to just take off on us." Cyn says. (It wouldn't be the first time...) "Right." Zaine replies. (Would she really do that?) |
| Brink stands. "Is something the matter?" He tries to lean over her shoulder. --- Abbot nods and shows them all out the door. Alan looks back at the capsule. (Should I like be discharged or some sh*t?) They all walk out of the room to get outside of the hospital wing. |
| Alexi shakes her head. "No. I just..." She turns around to face him. "I just really need to get away from here right now." --- Cyn looks down at Alan. "Don't worry about the whole 'hospital' deal. I'll have the crew take care of it for you. And I don't mean that you can't handle it yourself, I'm just saying that I'd prefer it and that it'd be easier if we handled it since you haven't been to this planet before." At the word planet, Cyn used air quotes. |
| Alan looks at him curiously. "What do you mean "planet"?" --- Brink looks at her with sympathy. "It will be okay. They should be down soon. I'm sure they settled it with the young man." |
| Alexi giggles. "Yeah. I'm sure they did." She giggles again. --- Zaine's curiousity is also peaked. "Planet? Isn't this a planet?" Cyn looks up towards the sky. "No. Not in the pure definition of the word. This may be called Kavarda, and the people here may be Kavardians, but they aren't really. This is just a space station that was built in place of the planet. The original planet known as Kavarda was destroyed in the Galactic War centuries ago." He sighs. "I wish I could've seen it." |
| Alan looks saddened by this news. She puts a hand on his shoulder. "Home is Home." She says with a little smile. --- Brink giggles along with her. "I hope Cyn didn't go too crazy." |
| Alexi's giggling has turned to full-blown laughter. "I wish I could have seen his face when he realised it." She laughs some more before finally stopping. "Cyn always goes overboard." --- "No," Cyn says as he meets her gaze. "Home is a place where you feel like you belong no matter the circumstances; where you'll always be welcome." Another sigh. "This will never be my home." "Cyn." Zaine says a bit shocked. "It's alright." He looks up and sees Alexi and Brink. "I created a home." He looks back to Alan and ruffles her hair. "A home you crashed into today," he teases. |
| Cody stop in silence. "Realized what?" He becomes confused. --- Alan giggles. "I will work extra hard to make it even better Cyn." |
| Galacta-Hut Kyle is passed out on the ground with a pizza box. "Yeah, Galacta.....Hut....ugh..." |
| "You're going to find out now." Alexi says as she walks up to meet them. Alexi walks right up to Alan, looks her up and down and circles around her once before stopping in front of her. "Hello." She waves. "I'm Captain Alexi Alvaro, captain of the Aurora. I'm going to go ahead and assume you'll be coming with us for a while, is that correct?" |
| -Galacta-Hut- Lyle remains in a ball on the floor 'protecting' his precious booze bottle in his sleep. People have been walking past him periodically and poking at him to see if he'll wake up, but after the last guy got thrown across the bar for touching his booze, no one wants to get too close. (Why the owner doesn't just kick them out I'll never guess.) |
| (Bro...it's Galacta-Hut lol) |
| Alan nods. "Yes, ma'am." Brink also looks her up and down. "Well then I guess all is forgiven young man?" He smiles. She gives him a glare that he doesn't recognize. |
| "Brink," Alexi says. "This young man, as you've put it, is in fact a woman." To Alan, she says, "Well, it's fine with me in any case." She glances at Cyn and finds he won't meet her gaze. "On with the next stop then. Brink, I'll let you take it from here." |
| Brink nods nervously. "Y-Yes. Let us go now." Alan sighs irritated by every ones comment on her gender. Galacta-Hut Kyle wakes up in unmentionable body fluids and sits up. "WHERE THE F**K ARE ALL THE DAMN DONUTS AND STRIPPERS!?!?!" |
| After a half hour of travel, the party finds themselves at the head office building for the Galactic Federation Headquarters. The building is situated in the dead center of Kavarda, on the third tier of the base. It towers above them impressively, with over one thousand rooms tucked away inside. The only thing Zaine manages to say as he sees it is "Wow, that's big." Cyn inwardly chuckles to himself. Galacta-Hut Lyle stands over his brother. "C'mon bro." He is suffering from a severe hangover. "There aren't anymore donuts. You ate them all already. Besides we should---" A stripper walks past. "whoa. Did you see what she's packing!?" He whistle at her. "Hey honey!" Lyle starts to walk off in her direction. "C'mon back over and sit with daddy!" |
| Galacta-Hut Kyle staggers getting up and follows. "COME SEE BOTH YOUR DADDIES!" -- Abbot opens the door into the HQ for Brink and the guests. Alan looks around just as amazed. "What a beast building." Zaine is led into a room by Abbot and Brink goes and speaks with the superiors. "Here you go Mr. Maddox. Officers will be in here in a moment!" He leaves and closes the door. |
| Alexi waits patiently outside the room with Cyn. She leans against the wall by the door, Cyn to her right the door to her left, staring up at the ceiling. (Poor Zaine. Kid doesn't know what he's in for...) Zaine looks about the room, carefully taking notice of every detail. (Only one way out of here huh? ... Oh well. I wonder how long they'll make me wait...) |
| A young man walks down the hall. He's wearing traditional Federation attair, carrying a clipboard and a small cube-shaped device. He nods to Alexi and Cyn, ignoring Alan, and enters the room. Zaine stands up as the man enters. "Hello there Zaine. I hope you don't mind me using first names. I'm Jason Finch. I'll be the one who's going to interview you." Jason seats himself in the chair closest to the door, while Zaine does the same across from him. "For starters, tell me what you remember." Zaine, though unsure at first, eventually tells Finch everything he can about the Kavarda he knows of, watching him carefully as Finch writes down notes here and there. "Well," Finch says. "That was quite interesting." He looks to the ceiling for a moment, then picks up the cube. "Do you know what this is? No. Of course you don't. This is a memory cube. It stores information based off one's memories. Very scientific. Take it." He holds it out to Zaine. When he doesn't move, Finch again says, "Go ahead, I promise it won't bite." |
| Zaine hesitantly reaches for it. Once he has it in his hands, he tests it. Looks at it from different angles, taps on it, pushes against it, etc... "It doesn't seem to do anything." Zaine concludes, still holding the cube. He's holding at eye level, looking into its dark exterior. "Oh but it does." Finch says, as he presses a button on a tiny remote. The cube emenates a gray light now, then turns to a liquid that seems to burn at the touch. Zaine tries to flick it off, but fails. "Relax Zaine. It'll be over faster if you don't struggle." The liquid works its way into his arm, then up it, sending a fire of pain up his arm. He winces. |
| Alan stands silently next to Alexi and Cyn. "Well then.." -- Brink watches with a slight smile on his face. (I remember when I first used a cube. Man, it's weird on the outside looking in. Especially when he is a complete outsider.) |
| Alexi continues to be a statue against the wall. Cyn looks down at Alan. "So Alan...you said before that you weren't from around here. Where are you from?" -- Finch smiles, clearly enjoying his job. "If you relax your muscles, this will go a lot faster." Zaine looks at him angrily, then to Brink with even more hatred. (He knew about this. Did they?) The liquid travels up to the base of his neck, finally stopping. Finch stands then, Zaine standing with him. "Now just hold still, and I'll remove the cube..." Zaine backs away a bit, then thinks better of it. He stands still while Finch walks behind him and jabs something into the base of his neck. Zaine falls to his knees from the blow. The cube materializes in Finch's hand, he nods to Brink, says something to Zaine and leaves the room. Zaine uses the table to stand and steady himself. (What the hell was that!?) |
| Alan looks at them smiles goofy. "Well isn't it obvious?" -- Brink stands in front of him and leads him to a chair. "Sit Zaine." His face is serious. "You will be fine." |
| Cyn scratches his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Well, not for me. I'm not good with stuff like that." Alexi smiles. (The only thing you're good at involves machinery and ships.) -- "Get offa me." Zaine says when Brink tries to help, still angry. "I'm fine." He stands up shakily, still bracing himself on the table. |
| Alan sighs, smiles, and lifts her bangs which reveal almost like a small water drop in the small of her forehead, between her eyebrows. It is a florescent sky blue. This appears to be a mark and not a tattoo. -- Brink nods. "I understand it isn't a fun process." |
| Cyn stares at it, bewildered. He lifts his hand to touch it, but stops himself. "It's a perfect droplet..." Alexi glances over, not all that interested, her mind elsewhere. -- Zaine regards him with distrust and anger now. "Yea, I bet you knew all about it didn't you? And not even the slightest bit of warning to me hmmm?" He shakes his head, clearly disgusted with Brink. He makes a motion to leave, but stops himself when he realizes he's going to fall. (Damn! Why am I so worn out now? Stupid cube...) |
| Alan nods and releases her bangs. "Yep! Everyone in Halloin has one. It's something I was born with. My goddess, Ea greeted me into the world with the mark. To remind me where I'm from." -- Brink shakes his head. "It is standard procedure and if I had told you, you wouldn't have wanted to try it out. This is the only way you can regain your memories. Maybe even track down a family." He sits. |

| Cyn smiles at the thought. "That's cool." He says it earnestly, and not sarcastically. "Wish we had something like that..." -- Zaine laughs at him. "Track down a family? You think I have any family left? It's been centuries since the destruction of the planet! I'd be surprised if I can even find any data, let alone a real live person!" He wobbles backwards, hits the wall, and lets himself slide down until he's sitting on the floor. "There's no way..." He picks up his pendant and looks into it, as if trying to find answers that aren't there. |
| Alan looks excitedly. "Well even if it isn't given at birth maybe you people of Kavarda should have some nationalism printed on your being! Some how." She smiles happily. -- Brink looks at him sternly. "You never know. Negativity won't help you either. If you want we can pretend we never met and throw you back on your worthless and uneducated planet where you will be dead in less then a few weeks because you are so ill-neutered." His face becomes hot with rage. (So this is what I get for helping him and myself. Well fine. F*ck this kid. I don't need this. Why even dwell in the past any longer?) |
| Cyn ruffles her hair again. "You're awefully cheery." -- Zaine looks at him, a deep sadness in his eyes. "Yeah. It may have been a sh*thole planet compared to this space station planet. I probably wouldn't have lived much longer there anyway considering what I've done." He stands up straight, now looking at his pendant. "But you know what? You're right." He looks to Brink, a fierce determination now replaced by the sadness. "My parents sure as hell didn't give up on me. What kind of a son would I be if I gave up on them?" He walks over to Brink, still a little wobbly. "I'm going to find out the truth about my past. Just you watch." |
| Alan smiles and looks up at him. "Why waste time frowning when you could smile? After all life is a beautiful thing!" -- Brink gives a half smile to himself. "There we go." |
| Zaine takes two steps towards the door before falling flat on his face. "Damn it..." He pushes himself upright. "That thing took more outta me than I thought," he mumbles. -- Cyn doesn't know what to say. "It's beautiful huh?" He smiles. "Only met one other person who thought that." |
| "Then we should establish where you shall stay." Brink opens the door for him. -- "Oh?" She looks at him curiously. |
| Cyn winks at Alan, before turning to face Brink and Zaine. Alexi moves in to look at Zaine upclose. "You're tired." He smiles in response. "How could you tell?" he says sarcastically. "Back the ship with you then." She says. "We'll be leaving soon anyway. I just need to make one last stop before we take off." Alexi looks at Cyn, a silent message passing between them. Then it occurs to her. "Brink." she faces him now. "About the exam..." |
| Brink holds up his hand. "Go. You passed. However I still look forward to seeing you at the "meeting" to discuss it." He smiles. |
| Alexi smiles warmly and happily replies "Thank you!" She walks away almost skipping. Cyn chuckles to himself. "Good job Brink. You've made her temporarily the happiest girl on the planet." "That's all well and good," Zaine says, "but can we leave now before I pass out?" Cyn smiles at him. "Of course we can." He says it as if talking to a three year old. "Can't have Zaine miss his nap time." Zaine just shoots him an angry look. |
| Alan looks to Zaine. "I am sorry your so warn out. Rest will surely do you good." -- Brink smiles and watches them leave. (Cute kids..heh) |
| Outside, Alexi finds the place she's been looking for since she landed. (This is it. Melody's Respite.) The building before her lies on the outskirts of the base. A broken down, dark building, it hasn't been used as a tavern in the longest time. She walks inside, into a poorly lit room with the remains of the tables and chairs of the tavern. "I've come like you asked." A deep voice sounds from somewhere in the room. "You are alone I see. Good." After a long silence, Alexi speaks again. "I have it. It's here with me right now." "Place it on the bar." When she reaches the bar, she takes out a brillant green crystal from her pouch and carefully sets it on the wood of the bar. "There. See? I found it like you said. Now give me back what's rightfully mine!" Laughter sounds without the tavern. "Silly girl," the voice is directly behind her now. "Do you really think I'd give it up so easily?" She turns around quickly, gun drawn, but no one is there. The voice comes from above now. "Leave before I decide to play with you like last time." At that sentence, Alexi freezes. "You don't want that do you? No. Now leave." Hesitantly, she lowers her gun. "You b**stard. I swear if I find you..." Laughter again. Always the laughter, taunting her. She leaves frustrated, and a bit shaken. Alexi stops in front of Melody's Respite once more before heading back to the ship. -- Cyn waits patiently outside the ship for Alexi to return, regretting now that he didn't go with her. |
| Alan stands beside him silently. "Well then.." |
