The Untold

[Domjan]

Pt 4: "Serious Sirius"

As he launched from the Barrier Gate he could see it in its true potential. It's a nice base,
perfect for getting away a bit. Protected with a big cloud of ice and water.

The man was closing in on the jumphole.
He entered Baffin and found himself yet into another cloud of particles.
Finally he exited it and could see Baffin's beauty in its full potential.

Jumping to Tau 29 he finally reached & docked with the station.

The Man landed in one of the numerous hangars with his Moldy crow, a first
man he could see was standing a few metres away from him, cursing something
on his own language. He made his way to him and greeted him with his usual line.

Dealer: "Konnichiwa. San?"
The Man: "My name doesn't matter."

Dealer shifted his gaze a bit watching him closely.

The Man: "I'm here about Isabella Sinclaire, she used to visit this station if I am correct?"
Dealer: "You should try the bartender, I'm new here."

He sighed, walking into the bar, which was quite empty and lonely,
approaching the bar counter. He took a chair and ordered lemon juice.
The Man looked at the bartender and tried to start a conversation.

The Man: "Hello there... Err...?"
Bartender: "Ichiro."
The Man: "Right, I heard you know something about Isabella Sinclaire? And her whereabouts?"

Bartender flinched when he mentioned her name and looked around.

Bartender: "Yes, what do you have to do with that bitch?"
The Man: "What?"
Bartender: "You heard me."
The Man: "I take it she's not very famous around here."
Bartender: "Damn right!"
The Man: "Why is that?"

Bartender: "Why? I'll tell you why. It was all fine and dandy while she used
to visit the station and doing god knows what in her "office". until
one day she decided she won't show up and what a coincidence
as soon as she left there was a fire in her hangar.
We had to re equip the whole bay and it set us back quite a while."

The Man; "I see, can you atleast tell me where she went?"
Bartender: "No idea, your best bet is asking that guy over there."

The Man turned around and a few tables from him was sitting a man
in his 50's, he had a grey hair, he was around 175 cm tall and
looked like he chewed on a lemon.
