Get Me out of Here

Get Me out of Here
(a perfect song to get the mood: Esmée Denters - Outta Here)

---

The story begins when an Outcast who goes by the name Kyle Cross receives a message that his girlfriend Kiara Garlow was captured by a Gallic Brigand. Unable to sit and wait for Kiara's friends from the Forlorn Hope to deal with the Gaul, Kyle picks up his old ship and sets off to Gallia on his own, intent on doing something, even though the one-man search seems like a futile idea. However, fate decides otherwise, and one day Elena Voigt, the one who told Kyle about Kiara's predicament, receives a message from Gallia.

You're probably surprised to hear from me again. My attempt to push you into telling me more, and your condescending attitude made it even less likely. Yet here I am, recording this message, mainly because you had the courtesy of letting me know about Kiara. That, and I have nobody else to go to.

Time to get to the point. I found Kiara. She was safe and sound, sharing drinks with some Gaul on Monte Carlo Freeport in Provence. I was drunk, so for a moment I thought it was a mirage, but she looked 'and' sounded like Kiara. The thing is, she wasn't as simple of a person as you may've thought: she acted as if she had never met me, and even called herself with a different name, Aurora Moreau.

What's worse, she had apparently married that Gaul a year ago and never mentioned him to me. Naturally, her 'husband', a certain Remy Moreau, didn't know about her affair with a Sirian either. Kiara must be a really good con artist if she had managed meeting with two people at once.

I was a bit pushy when I was exposing Kiara's... or Aurora's lies to her husband, so he hit me with a bottle. Once I woke up, I found myself in the same bar. Kiara insisted on talking to me for some reason, so I thought she had something she wanted to tell me in private. That's the only reason why I agreed to Moreau's offer to meet up on his l'Ane to discuss this whole mess.

Here's the thing: the guy looks dangerous enough and has taken an instant dislike to me, so I'll bring some protection. I'll go to his transport in the hangar B-2 on Monte Carlo. But if I don't make it back, then I'm rigging my Sabre to send this message to you in 3 days. Call it "returning the favour" for what you did when you informed me about Kiara's disappearance. That, and I just wanted you to know that there was more to the story than you told me. Unless you had known it already.

You sure are nosy and condescending, but maybe it was for good reason when it came to Kiara. Kyle Cross out.
