[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver was silent a moment as she took a drink. <<Do we even know how to get him out?" she asked looking to the contraption with a frown.

[KitsuneMarie]

Illim nods, but he is distracted. If this man had large gaps of his memory erased, who knows what had been done to him? If he had been a host, who knows whose? Derrel did Illim no good if he had been an Imperial; they would know that he was a Rebel spy, and the charade would be up before it began. He needed access to an Imperial database. Unfortunately, the one on his ship had been blocked since he had made his escape from Earth. There had been that Imperial in the Bar, but she already seemed suspicious enough of him.

"Acquiring a gun may not be a bad idea while you're here," he tells Derrel, finally meeting his eyes. "Otherwise, just lay low."


Elayne sighs, shaking her head. "Keshin, it's not relevant. It has nothing to do with your own time. There's no use worrying about failed Yeerk tactics in my timeline when they may have never happened in your own." She is not about to repeat the same mistake and provide the names of the human resistance fighters; besides, she has no proof that this Keshin isn't the old Keshin, putting on an elaborate charade for information or a bounty.

"Alright. Come with me." Temrash said. "So tell me a little about yourself." He walked to his ship, opening the hatch, and letting them in. The dog had not said anything, so either it really was an animal or it was just trying to maintain a low profile. He wasn't sure if not much trouble meant this Yeerk's host was voluntary or just broken.


Derrel nodded."So where are you from, Illim?" He asked, making conversation.


<Well, I don't want to accidentally just send him somewhere that the Alvie can get him again. I can interface with the ship's computer, but I don't want to release him back into his own ship. I would rather inform Prince Ossanlin before attempting anything.>

[Myitt]

Reven watches the exchange, his expression impassive. 

Corliss, however, finds his hands balling into fists. 

<Easy, mate,> Mike warns.  <She's just trying to provoke you.>

[radgeek]

He wanted small talk?  Taylis knew that would likely but wasn't prepared for it.  "My host is from New York City, I have been given this post because I found one of the Andalite bandits that plagued the city.  She was unfortunately a nothit but still my Visser was pleased."

[Chad32]

"I see." He said. He wondered how valuable this Imperial was. "It's hard keeping Visser Three pleased for very long. So did your capture help in finding the others? Do you think Visser Three will find victory soon?" He gave Kevlin a look that said play along. He didn't want Visser Three to actually take Earth, as it would cause yet another promotion for him. Not to mention making the Empire much more powerful with all those hosts.

[radgeek]

"The nothlit didn't lead to the others," Taylis said saddly.  "But New York city is all most ours."  She didn't mention that she found the other one among her host's offspring.  Josh was Amy's second child but she couldn't turn him in.  She became quite pleased with Amy's family and didn't want to tamper with it.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin returns Efaen's formal bow, but not as deeply.  It seems that she wishes to respect protocals, he feels he should in turn.  <I understand what the propaganda does Efaen and I respect your opinion.  The reason that I trust the rebels is very simple...one of them saved me from infestation by a Visser known as Seran...she is now one of my closest friends.  And if matters of law trouble you, I have approval directly from the Electorate to work with the rebels on joint operations, should I see it to our advantage.  It is not common knowledge, and the Electorate certainly does not want the public to know that they are sanctioning allied operations with Yeerks, but it is quite true.  You may do with this information as you wish, but should you decide to offer this information up, it is likely that the Electorate will discredit your claims.>

Ossanlin sighs looking back at Reven before returning his gaze to Efaen.  <The fact is, Reven is uncomfortable with you in their midst, especially since you'd be reporting to me and I in turn would be reporting to others.  His concerns are valid.  Terenia also stated that you would not wish to join these Yeerks.  The reasons I believe it to be a good place for you currently are threefold.  Firstly, you yourself have mentioned a desire for combat, especially close-quarters.  You know you will most-likely not get that aboard a Dome Ship, but within the rebellion, their operations are on a much more...personal level you have a much better chance of accomplishing your objectives with them.  Secondly, I think it would be a benefit to us and the rebellion, as well as yourself personally.  You would be forced to learn that not all Yeerks are evil, slave-driving monsters, we would gain some...insight...in to the rebellion's activities, and the rebellion would gain a morph-capable ally for covert operations.  Thirdly, it would be good for Terenia.  You have the biological form of her original body stored in memory...unless we can extract that DNA and reverse the nothlitization process...she will lose that without you.>

<But in this matter, your wishes are tantamount to if not greater than the wishes of the rest of us.  What is your desire?  You know that I cannot allow you to return to the Imperials.>  Ossanlin continues to gaze at Efaen with his main eyes.

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Salem would have flat-out declined Vlad's request for help, but something caught his attention. "Shadow realm." If there was a chance, even a slim one, that it was the same "shadow realm" that the Erathak traveled through... well, Vlad might be worth dealing with after all. Vlad seemed to be implying that he wasn't human, but so far the only appreciable difference Salem had seen was the teeth. They were probably nothing more than a sect or separatist group of some sort.

Salem narrowed his eyes as he looked at Vlad, "I can't say I've ever heard of 'vampires,' but I know of the shadow realm. I think we may be able to work out a deal. I have no need for money. I tend to deal in... less fleeting currency." He grinned at Vlad. It was not a nice expression. "Tell me, vampire, how do you travel to and from this shadow realm of yours?"

[Chad32]

Temrash took the Kandrona machine, and placed it on the bed. There were restraints on the bed, and the Imperial would assume they would be used. "You may sit here and use this pool to feed. If you have any weapons that your host might try to use, go ahead and remove them. That is, unless you'd prefer full body restraint."

[Nero's Fury]

Vlad gave a shrug, ''Its a simple trick, but not one given to an outsider. So if you have information to trade name your price.''

[KitsuneMarie]

Illim shifts uncomfortably, leaning against the Bar's mossy exterior wall. "I've been living in California," he tells Derrel, reluctant to say more. The man seems harmless enough, but one can never know.

<It would be easier on you if you were to remain with me, you know,> Serid murmurs, catching enough of Illim's thoughts to remark on them.

<It would be easier on me if you could just get over what Ertoran did -- or didn't do -- to you,> Illim shoots back. <You know, I generally like you. It would be much more convenient to keep our current arrangement, if only you'd stop-->

<You don't understand,> Serid interrupts. <You've never been betrayed like I was.>

Illim lets out a sigh of disgust, his shoulders crumpling slightly. <I so don't want to hear it.>

[Chad32]

"It seems like we both have problems." Derrel said. "It's ok. I tend to just try to get through things one day at a time."

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Salem chuckled and shook his head, "I don't have any information. Sorry if you're expecting something that easy. I've never heard of your guy. I am pretty good at tracking people, though. If I find your runaway Andalite, I want the secret to traveling in the shadow realm. Otherwise, I can't help you."

[Nero's Fury]

Vlad stared for a moment, ''How about this, seeing as how i to am a well known tracker, lets find him together and ill allow you the technique.''
