Zoner on board!

[Kaze]

Titanium watched from the corner of her eyes how Cerulean was playing with the poker chip.
"Cerulean, don't play with it too much. It can transform this room into a crater. High grade explosives."
Her grin was hidden from both men, as she continued to prepare the HLR's.

"And as for you Gyp. Here."
She gave the reporter a data-pad, which he fumbled with.

"Oh, don't you worry. That one isn't explosive."

Gypsie quickly browsed the data-pad that had several files. He chose one and clicked.

[Haste]

"Thanks for telling me that." Cerulean rolled his eyes at Titanium. A hint of annoyance could be heard in his voice as he continued: "Before I blew myself up with another one of your toys, anyways."

He quickly put the - explosive - chip into his backpack. He stepped a little closer to Gypsie, who was staring at the datapad.

"Ah. The new Outcast designs."

He smirked.

"Wouldn't mind me one of those."

He stepped back again, and leaned against the same wall with one foot.
"What do you think, Titanium? Maybe we should be a little more careful when we're huntin' 'casts, and salvage what we can."

[Gypsie]

The reporter gazed at the datapad fascinated.

Our crap with Outcasts has been hairy lately you know? Not big groups as the 101st and such, just lone outlaws, but this will be of much use. Thanks! I can keep the datapad too right?

He quickly slipped it inside his pocket and turned to the door.

I'm gone to talk to James about your situation here, It won't be long. Just try not to blow this ship's ass off ok? After saying that, he winked.

He was all pumped up about the intel on the new Sabre model, so he sent it right away to the Fnordnet. After that, he walked to the bridge to look for James, who was talking very seriously to his men, as if giving them strict orders.

Duuuuude! If I had known! I was unaware that your history with them went back so far. I should have known, I'm a louzy reporter. It's not as if a Junker open season is too hush hush, I will love to hear your side of the story once we are done with this job.

Now, do you have to be so strict about their isolation while in the ship mate? I mean, they are two, and yours are plenty of, what can you be possibly fearing? On top of that we have good ole Marcus here, who won't let them pull anything funny around.

Let's say you made Marcus follow them everywhere, would they be able to stretch their legs a bit? Besides that, I've got some job for them, top secret TAZ flax you know? And I'd hate to have to sneak into that small room and tell them what's it about. We could use that table over there, you could join us, I've got nothing to hide dude, not after our deal of secrecy here and such. Watcha say?

Malaclypse Freeport

[JunkerTown]

As Gypsie begins to speak James stops talking to his crew.
Listening to his request he responds..
Hasn't anyone ever told you its rude to interrupt?

Gypsie looks a bit embarrassed and begins to apologize.
James continues..
Forget it.. anyway listen I trust those two about as far as I can throw Marcus.
Still perhaps your right and while they pose no immediate threat to us I won't risk them gathering intel on my ship.
So follow me we will go and speak to our new passengers.

While still facing Gypsie James says to the large menacing metal monster standing behind him..
Marcus your coming too.
He nods and the three head down to the Reavers room.
James walking ahead of Gypsie and Marcus stops at the door.
Gypsie steps just in front of James and says..
Ok let me go in first I'll keep things peaceful.
James nods as he steps aside allowing Gypsie to open the door.
He then turns to Marcus and whispers..
go with him.. scan everyone and everything.
Gypsie enters the room and starts talking just as Marcus maneuvers his robust robotic hull through the entrance.
As he enters the room the three are forced to back away as the large metallic body virtually consumes the small space.
Once inside he is finally able to stand upright.

Greetings I am Marcus.
Please hold still while I scan.
While his head pivots around two green beams illuminate the room passing over their luggage.
The beams stop and he now turns his attention to the new arrivals.
His eyes emit a green beam of light into the eyes of both Titanium and Cerulean.
As the retinal scans confirm their identities his eyes change from green to red.
He growls one word..
REAVERS!!
Immediately raising his right hand he makes a fist and several gun barrels emerge from his metal knuckles.
James steps in and says..
Stand down big boy.. these two are our guests.
We will not harm them unless they give us a reason.

Marcus responds..
They are carrying high grade explosives and military grade HLR's sir!
James pauses.. Raising one eyebrow he continues

Hmm that's interesting and noted.
Stand down Marcus I'll handle it from here.
Marcus reluctantly complies as a metal plate covers up the gun ports and his arm lowers.

Ya'll must pardon my metal friend he's been with me a very long time.
He was there when the Reavers attacked us on multiple occasions.
We were both there when Reavers shot down several Congress and Junker ships.

Not to worry though.. He is loyal and will obey my every command.
Now Gyp here has requested you folks be allowed to leave this room and roam the ship.
Learning what you fools are carrying is definitely a cause for concern..
Still I'll agree to that under a few conditions..
One your not to try and gain entry to any restricted sections of the ship.
This of course includes the bridge.
I will not risk you two gathering any intel you may use against us later.
Second you will stay insight of Marcus at all times.
Additionally you will store the crap your carrying here and LEAVE IT HERE!
Lastly you must comply with my orders while onboard.
Should you deviate from any of these conditions you'll be answering to Marcus.
Now we do happen to have a nice lil pub on the middle deck that your free to use.
So... are we clear?
