Adain flew through the golden skies of Planet Malta, once again heading to his Haven, to contemplate the various matters that cluttered his head."If only, those blast-....."He glared down at Platform 15, a ship was bobbing up and down....docked. "*sigh* You have got to be kidding me."Fourteen would have to suffice, he yelled at the Chief, who also ran 15, to run some diagnostics on the Talon.
"Who's ship is in my spot?"
"*gulp* Eh, Senor Castillo. Captain."
"Thank you, Chief."
The green suited man practically ran up to the Talon, wishing to evade the Captain's gaze. Adain shook his head as the Grav-Lifts doors closed."What next..."
"Hola, senor Erylian! A Car-"
"DONT even joke about that, Hernan. It was putrid, and I am looking forward to that coffee I always order."He lifted his eyebrows to emphasize the silent order.
"Of course, usted."He busied himself with the coffee, for some time. Hernan knew the Captain well enough to realize when he was pushing his luck.
"Alexander, good to see you found my little hideout. Y'know, some blaggard set his ship on 15, my platform! I'd like to rip his trachea out, and shove through his ships exhaust port. Any idea who's ship it is?"Adain looked as serene as if he had just discussed the day's weather. No frown, no smile, just a face of stone while he awaited the man's answer.
After founding Hackers in Omicron 85, and making them hand over stolen weapons, Stefan finally had time for some rest. He approached to Meteora landing pads with his ship and landed on platform 7. His engineers soon approached asking if there's anything to do and welcoming him.
"Hola senor Mortensen, welcome back. Are there any damages on your ship that needs to be fixed?"
Stefan turned to engineers and smiled.
"Do you really think someone can damage my ship..? Except for.. Radiation.."
"Si senor, we're on it!"
Stefan came to grav-lift and entered it. It was obvious that those blue lights annoyed him. When he entered bar, blue lights were also there. He started to rage.
"Hernan, don't we have any damned other lights then blue ones?!"
"My apologies senor, which lights should I turn on?"
"I don't know, let's see red ones.."
Hernan turned blue lights to red and satisfaction could've been seen at Stefan's face.
"Now, that's better. Give me an.. Coffe and glass of Cardi-Cola. I had a hard day."
He saw Adain and Alexander sitting at the table that was located in the corner of the bar. He was quite happy to see Alexander around, since he haven't seen him in a while. He approached to them, and sat on their table.
"'Ola senores, having fun? Glad to see you here, Alexander, as I haven't seen you in a while. I don't even remember when was the last time we flew together. Ah, those Hackers are really starting to piss me off. Every time I see them in Omicron 85, and that happens often, they claim that they're lost. When you scan them, you see Outcast weapons mounted on their ships, even without permission. Even patron Garisson was there. I told him to visit Meteora, he said he'll do it soon."
Hernan came with glass of Cardi-Cola.
"What the..? Where's my coffe?"
"I'm sorry senor, we ran off supplies. Supply shuttle is on the way, it should arrive any minute."
"Oh damn. I'll drink this up and get to sleep. I really need rest."
He made glass empty in few seconds, then saluted to Adain, Alexander and Hernan and left to unknown, to his secret room.
After Senor Mortensen left to his quarters, alexander responded to Senor Erylian as if somebody just died
Well i'll be darned, seems like some punk dared to defy you, seems like he might even go as far as to insert his exhaust port into your gluteus maximus
After pretending to be serious for a couple of minutes he suddenly bursts out laughing
lets have a drink while discussing what to do with this bastard that took your place shall we?
He smiles and searches for hernan in the bar
Hernan get us two Cardi-cola's, a little bird told me Senor Erylian likes those
He chuckles
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever
Adain's stare was intent on boaring a hole in Castillo's skull. "Bring me Cardi-Cola and I'll get that mechanic to take your Sabre apart, piece by piece." He suddenly cracked a smile, and patted Maximus on the back. "Ha! You drink your crap, I'll stick with the coffee. And dont take my Grav-Pad again, or you might find my combat boot in your-"Hernan cut in before things got vulgar.
"Ey-hey! Here's your coffee, and Senor Castillo's drink. Be merry ustedes!"
The black clad stranger stood up, and stalked past the trio, towards the door. Silence gave away the inquiring stares that lit up his back. He called the Grav-Lift and stepped on, turning his hooded head slightly in their direction and uttering,"Muerte a tu Nacion, ustedes."
Adain started for the door, but it closed rapidly. Upon reaching the comm panel, electricity flickered and the primary, plus backups, blew. A dull golden light, from the sunset, was enough light for each to see the others' confused look.
Guerra enters the Meteora bar with a Ungodly pissed off face...
[color=#FF6666]Where are you Stefan ? ? ?- He shouts in the middle of not-so crowded bar.
You better Show your self Now ! ! ! !
As Guerra was Shouting madly looking for Stefan some stranger calls him
The man you are looking for is over there in the corner-The Stranger says
Without saying a single word Guerra turn on hes back and charges Stefan.
Yo , Guerra Was ...- Stefan is interrupted by a super epic punch in the face .
While he spits some blood...
I told you esse. I gave you a friendly warning but you insisted. Next time you spam crap on my neural net again i'll shoot you in the knee caps get it esse?
Guerra Drinks a shot of Tequila , turn his back on the bartender and walks out of the bar....
Yo bartender , Tequila , Now.
The bartender quickly red up a Tequila Shot.
Guerra Drinks the Tequila Shot , turn hes back on the bartender and walks out of the bar.
Hey! You'r not paying for it?- The Bartender says
Nope. Ghosts Special Discount.- Guerra Replies.
Guerra leaves the bar permanently , and he'll never return
"He's not bad. Hey Hernan, you know what to bring!"
"Si Senor" - Hernan responded.
"He could've at least called me out so he doesn't make mess around here. Whatever, he'll pay for that some day.."
By looking around, he realized that Brandon hasn't arrived yet.
"Well damn, even patron isn't here yet."
He smiled, as Hernan brought him Cardi-Cola. Gallic wine also came to his mind.
"We need wine around here, as soon as possible. I don't know what's wrong with Brigands, I asked them few weeks ago to deliver some supplies and all they said was: "We will inform you about it". Not a single word is heared from them since then. Anyways, time for me to go and test my brand-new Falcata."
Adain glides into the bar with his face in some data pads.
"Hola, Mr. Erylian!"Hernan uttered.
The captain looked up and saw a small spatter of blood on the wall."*laughing hysterically* Baha! Ha! I didnt think he'd do it! Gah...ha...Damn, now I have to pay him...."
Stefan was sitting at the counter drinking his usual. Adain casually walked over and patted him on the back.
"*trying not to laugh* Nothin like a reminder to keep ya on your toes huh? I should pay Guerra to hit Castillo for using my spot."
Few moments later,Apollo entered the bar.He sit on the side where nobody can see him.
Then bartender came and asked him is he going to drink and he said "Give me......Cola and......just Cola"
Apollo started to drink the Cola and Stefan came to order another drink for he and for Adain,while he was ordering he turned him head and saw Apollo in the corner.
Stefan came to Apollo and asked him what's wrong and Apollo said
"Nothin' man....nothin',go and drink that stuff"
Stefan noticed that something is wrong with Apollo and he called Adain to come.
When Adain arrived he saw red liquid and told Stefan.That red liquid was blood,and it extended from the right shoulder to thigh.
"Wow man,what happened?"Stefan asked
Man........i...uhhhhh it hurts.......i was looking for a killer of my father....and i found....uhhh....i found him he was in Ibiza's bar like a spy.My mother told me what he looks like and described me his face and everything else,when i saw him i......i took my knife and while i walked up to him,one guy stuck me the knife in my shoulder and in my thigh.
I was alone in that bar only the killer of my father,bartender and that guy.....and they escaped"
After finished his last sentence,Apollo then fainted.
Adain and Stefan called doctors and when doctors came they transfered him to the nearest hospital
After that Stefan and Adain took the drink and sit down speachless.
Yesterday Alpha was raid by Royal Navy and Corsairs.Out troupes fought to death,but some escaped to safe-Ibiza's shelter.
After 3 hours spent there,the red light on my hand(message reader) started to flash.
That means that i've got a message.I checked that and message was that our second reinforcements are coming.
When they came,they defeated all enemies.Few minutes later we launched to space and went to Malta's bar to celebrate the great victory of Outcast people.
As we entered the bar i decided to buy drink for all of us.The bartender gave everyone a drink and i gave too much money for drink,but that's not important,what it is important is that we won.
Few moments later senor Stefan Mortensen came so we talked a bit.
"Well...it is so nice to see you senor Stefan"
"Nice to see you too senor Apollo,how are you.....how you feel after a great victory of ours?"
"Uhh...can't be better.So you were in second reinforcement group right?"
"Yes...yes i did,and i have some brand new informations"
"Really....i'm listening.
"You know that Gallic Royal Navy is too offensive?"
"Yes..yes"
"So we need to know more about their technology and their systems,bases,planets and so on...
So i scouted and saw their weapons,planets,bases and i can say that they have an strong weapons,well defended bases and planets too."
"So are we stronger or......?"
"Can't tell my friend......but i know one thing....we have spirit and power too."
"Yes indeed,thank you for sharing that info with me senor Stefan."
"Yeah..yeah.....i'll go there now see ya'."
The Stefan left and Apollo started to drink his drink and he watched other people singing,dancing.....
