Scenes on Barrier Gate [The aftermath] - Anna Blanca - 08-29-2011
Waiting for a moment in silence before responding to Samantha's words. Anna stared at the wall,
as she looked away from Samantha for a short moment. 'Chase goals... my goals? What are my
goals?' Anna questioned herself. She closed her eyes for a short moment and then looked at
Samantha.

Samantha.
And the goal you want me to have is, to see how you live? How the Outcasts live? To
make me question my previous goal? My goal to get rid of those who tried to hurt me?
My goal to live with the one that I loved forever? Or do you call those dreams too?
Anna frowned.make me question my previous goal? My goal to get rid of those who tried to hurt me?
My goal to live with the one that I loved forever? Or do you call those dreams too?
There is one thing I know and that is that I will never be one of you. But to see how
you live your lives and reconsider my actions, I guess that's up to you to convince me.
Dreams and goals change, chasing them is a different story.

There was a certain all too familiar pain in Samantha's temples she hadn't
felt in a long time...since her junkie days actually and she all too well the reason for that...
[size=small][color=#FFCCCC]"Convince you?"
She laughed sharply
[font=Palatino Linotype]
[color=#FFCCCC]"I don't want to convince you Anna."
Sam shook her head an a poorly preformed movie-like motion and smiled
[color=#FFCCCC]"I got what I wanted, I made you come here, and in doing so showing to the
incompetent idiots here how it's done, I got the money too. As a bonus I got a little peak into your
motivation. So no use me convincing you. As a matter of fact you can just leave...yes leave."
Sam's melodramatic monologue was interrupted by the loudspeaker system
[color=#CCCCCC]"Uhmm señora Marquez, can I speak to you for a second"
Samantha recognised that's the voice of the man in the adjacent room, she got up apologized to Anna for
the interruption and went to that room.
"With all due respect señora but what the hell was that?"
Like somebody flipped a switch Marquez transformed from a melodramatic scene queen to a stone cold
ruthless witch.
"With all due respect Ramirez you have neither the rank nor the right to second guess me."
[color=#CCCCCC]"Please tell me you are bluffing about letting her go"
"No I'm not. In fact get her ship here"
[color=#CCCCCC]"What?"
"Yes get her ship here, or hand me over your wings and sidearm"
Ramirez mumbled something
[color=#CCCCCC]"Very well...I will...But the 101st will hear about this!"
[color=#FFCCCC]"Sure, I'll even testify against myself!"
As Ramirez shot out of the room Samantha realized that she was seeing in tunnel vision. She was light-
headed, her heartbeat was faster than normal her breathing too. Something that could be easily mistaken
for a temporary nervous reaction but in fact it was something a lot more different...a lot more sinister. She
stood there for a minute trying to catch her breath then went back to the room Anna was in.
[color=#FFCCCC]"So yes. If you want to go then go, your ship will be here as soon as they are
assembled back. Unlike you I don't believe I'm God righting wrongs and punishing the wicked"

The look on Anna's face turned to astonishment as she listened to Samantha, Is she serious?!
Anna Shook her head in disbelief.
It could turn things worse. Anna's folded hands were sweating, she wiped them off on her
jeans, trying to do it unnoticeable
over the last few days.
Anna Shook her head in disbelief.
So you're letting me go? Just like that?
Anna looked away wondering.Is this really all you wanted to see? To make your men look up to you more by
capturing me, just for some money.
She paused knowing she shouldn't say everything that was floating up at her mind right now.capturing me, just for some money.

I guess I should thank you then. Giving back my freedom just like that.
Chuckling a bit sarcasticly to herself as she runs her mind through the events that happened over the last few days.

For some reason knowing what she just did Samantha felt horrible after hearing "I guess I should thank
you then. Giving back my freedom just like that.". She swallowed the sinking feeling in her gut and
forced a smile.
[color=#FFCCCC][size=small]"Remember what I told you about choices on the station? Forget it...There are choices, you just see them
after you made them...Your ships should be here within 30 minutes, so you might want to go to the landing
pads..."
Samantha walked out of the room in a hurry. Too much was going in her head...and her stomach. She
stormed into the bathroom slammed the door and puked in one of the cubicles. The dizziness she had finally
paid off.

As she walked out of the building, Halsey was leaning against a wall near the door
[font=Palatino Linotype]
[color=#CCCCCC]"I saw Ramirez...Did you let her go?"
Sam just nodded still feeling the bitter taste of vomit in her mouth
[font=Palatino Linotype]
[color=#CCCCCC]"So, you just gave her freedom back, just like that?"
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#FFCCCC]"No, Fernando, I just took it..."

Anna remained sitting in the room for a moment in silent. Taking a deep breath as she looked
in the one sided mirrored window. A faint smile on her face appeared as she looked at herself,
knowing there is most likely still someone on the other side of the window. She shoved the chair
a bit back and stood up, with both hands on the table she chuckled a little still in disbelief.
She opened the door and stood in still in the hallway for a moment, looking from one side to the
other. Noticing a sign saying where the hangars were located. I can't wait to see my ships again.
Now I just have to find a place to stay. In her mind she went passed a checklist of bases, trying
to think of one where she could stay, where it would be quiet. That's all Anna wanted right now.
Some quiet place.
Anna rubbed over her forehead as she walked through the hallways to the exit of the building.
not that she could be bothered about it. She was completely focused on getting to the hangars
as fast as she could. To get away from this miserable place.
Once arrived in the hangars she saw a few people giving her a strange look. Trying not get too
much attention she sat down on a pair of crates near the main hangar door. She looked outside
at the tinted colored sky. Trying to spot one of her ships approaching. Since she didn't see it
parked anywhere in the hangar yet.
Some of the hangar personnel could be heard mumbling but Anna wasn't able to actually hear
what they were talking about.

Time to go home...
She shook her head as she walked to the door. What home? she wondered.She opened the door and stood in still in the hallway for a moment, looking from one side to the

This headache is just getting worse.
She muttered to herself. Once outside of the building Anna saw Samantha talking to someone, not that she could be bothered about it. She was completely focused on getting to the hangars

Halsey didn't quite understand what Samantha meant
[color=#FFCCCC][size=small]
"Got a sub-orb nearby?"
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCCCCC]"Sure"
[color=#FFCCCC]"Care to give me a lift?"
"Anytime"
They barely spoke a word on the way to the suborbital car, once they got in Samantha just stared blankly
through the window as the car rose to 40 000 meters and started coasting
[color=#CCCCCC]"You alright Sam? You look a touch pale"
[color=#FFCCCC]"Yes, I'm fine a bit of C-poisoning"
"C-poisoning? How di..aaah right. So what now?"
[color=#FFCCCC]"What now? It's up to her really, run,hide,die whatever. And I don't even know what Sol did with the other
one. It's a win-win situation for me. Worst case scenario she dies, the high command is happy. Best case
scenario you gain a wingman...a hell of a wingman"
"Sam...You creep me out sometimes"
[color=#FFCCCC]"That's why you all love me"
In under 2 minutes the sub-orbital car covered the 100km from the Naval yard to the beach side where Villa
Marquez was.By now Anna's ships should have been delivered to the naval hangars. Fernando put the car
down right next to the front door.
"Wanna come in for a drink? I've got nothing to do anyway, I let the servants go for the weekend"
[color=#CCCCCC]"Sure, just don't get that rough stuff again ok?"
