Tales of Hiroshi Sora

[Guest]

Trafalgar Station, New London

Trafalgars market was a hive of activity; gun dealers demonstrated their array of arms on a scorch marked wall on the far side of the market. Equipment dealers vied for attention, glorified drug dealers clambered to sell their medicines and other products.

Sora and Kareem observed the hectic situation from a food stand in the markets center.

Looks like Manhattan central when the fashion shops have a sale on remarked Kareem Of course, I reckon that the sales are a more dangerous place to be than here.

No doubt about that Sora chuckled in amusement before taking a bite from his hamburger of questionable origin Did you get the new scanner system?

Yeah got it for twice the price that I was hoping, but this should help us avoid pirates on the tradelanes. replied Kareem.

If it works itll be worth it. What do you think of MacGregor?

Hes a cool dude. Friendly, until he finds out youre Bretonian. Good engineer though, havent had another engine cut out since he came on board.

Sora shook his head gently before turning his attention back to the market. A fight had broken out, two pirates had begun fighting. A cardamine masked showed that one was an Outcast. Sora tried to make out the tattoos of the other pirate to no avail.

Oh heck muttered Kareem Its a blemin Corsair.

Sora stood up. I think we should leave, before all hell-

Gunfire filled the air as the three other Corsairs opened fire on the Outcast, hitting bystanders in the process. The Outcasts and Corsairs littered over the room began to attack each other. Various Junkers tried to stop them, but it was no use. One Junker had the misfortune of stepping into an Outcasts line of fire, he hit the ground clutching his chest, within seconds he was dead.

Kareem grabbed Sora and hauled him behind the food stand.

But then again, here seems good. Sora was sweating; he did not like fighting at all.

Kareem snorted. Yeah sure, heres just as good as our armour plated ship.

The fire fight didnt last long. The Junkers automatic turrets cut down any aggressors within seconds. 13 Outcast bodies and 20 Corsair bodies littered the market floor.

Not a pretty sight.

I guess. Sora replied visibly shaken by the ordeal. Lets get out of here.
