TDK Reaper

[marauder]

Ryuku base, Tohoku system

"Permission granted Reaper, welcome back." The docking control robot said

"Thank you." Reaper was always polite to robots, it doesn't make alot of sense to swear and curse at someone who can easily twist your arms off.

He guided the VHF towards the docking bay and then let the tractor beam pull him inside and place him into a docking cradle.

"Good hunting?" a tech asked as Reaper climbed out and removed his helmet.

"The hunting was excellant. Don't bother opening the cargo bay." Reaper ordered.

"Ok people lets get this ship re-armed now!" the tech ordered his group.

Reaper left them to it and headed to the bar, his flight-armour clanking and jingling as he walked.

"Get me the news." he ordered the lobotomised slave tending bar.

'So, a big fight seems to be shaping up in honshu. It seems quite a few factions are joining in, leaving several other areas weakened...' he thought after quickly scanning the news items, then he started through them again making notes.

Message sent.

'Time to chat to my prisoner...' Reaper checked the scan logs again before reactiving the lifesupport and unbuckling his harness, he then pulled himself through the cramped access hatch into the cargo bay.

He hit the open switch on the lifepod and then drew his sidearm as he backed away.

"What took you so bloody long?" the pilot spat angrily.

"I needed to find somewhere safer. Hand over your rep marker, slowly." Reaper stretched his free hand out.

"Take me to the nearest station, I'll pay you to let me go."

"Not gonna happen, you can't pay me enough to do that."

The woman stared hard at Reaper before flinging her rep marker at him. "Take it then."

"Why were you poking around tohuku in a BHG ship, freelancer Kara Estades?" Reaper handed the rep marker back.

"Because I was paid too."

"You'll find food, water and anything else you might need in those containers." Reaper gestured towards the rear of the hold, after holstering his weapon.
