The Experiment

[caylith]

Ember walked into the hanger bay toward her chimaera to check on some minor repair work when she realized a transmission had been sent over secure channels:

Ember, i need you to return to the lab immediatly, come in a transport, preferibly with backup, all will be explained when you arrive... co-ordinates will follow...

~ A silver friend.

With backup? To the Lab? A silver friend.....She took off running.

Ember found Jen and relayed the information. "So much for waiting. We've got to get on this quickly," Ember said. "Where the hell will I find a transport out here?"

"Did someone say they needed a transport? Would a large train do?" Asked a man sitting at the bar.

Jen put a hand on Embers arm to hold her back, "Ember, I'd like for you to meet Romer. He is one of our most trusted, uh how shall I say this, smugglers. If he is offering his help, I'd take it."

"Good to meet ya, Ember. If we're going that far we're going to have to get on the road, so to speak. You can come with me if you'd like. I can dock pretty much anywhere in Kusari space, so that won't be a problem for us," Romer said in such a calm and cool manner that it was hard for Ember not to relax.

"Fine. I appreciate the help," Ember said as she turned to Jen. "Can we count on the Blood Dragons for air support?"

"They've already launched and so have the GC. They'll meet you en route," Jen replied.

"Okay, good. Romer, you ready to go?"

Romer nodded as he finished the last of his drink, "Yes ma'am."

Ten minutes later Ember and Romer launched into space.
