[Myitt]

Myitt laughs.  "Mar, I hardly picked this profession.  But no matter...I'm not going to go looking for a bounty hunter to lop his head off, I just want to make sure he's not going to attack us again.  You can go and have at him from the ground, if you want, just be careful."  She looks meaningfully at each of her friends.

"So.  Shall we use your ship, or mine?" Corliss asks.

Myitt grins.  "The Skimmer's got better weapons."

"Yea.  'Cos it's new," says Corliss, smirking. 

"Shut up," Myitt grumbles.  "Anyone fancy a ride?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal stands up, and moves toward Myitt and Corliss, intending to follow them.

[Chad32]

"I would rather leave now, and confront him while I'm at my best. But I wouldn't want to shoot him down while he's helpless on the ground. On the other hand, if he has another missle launcher, that would hardly count as helpless." Temrash said. "Negotiation or a fair fight are my prefered options.

[Breekan1]

Breekan puts a hand on Shal's shoulder. "Sis, you don't even have a gun, let alone the kind of moxie this bounty hunter will be able to dish out. And you're sick, or crazy, or something." He stands up. "You can't go."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal shrugs Breekan's hand off of her shoulder and quickly pushes her hands against her eyes again. She begins to breathe again, slowly, and evenly. She ignores Breekan.


Keirdan frowns, and stands up, dumping the cat on the floor. He approaches Breekan, and hugs his leg. He stares up at him, with a confused look on his face. "She doesn't need a gun."

[Shenmue654]

Mar glances at Myitt nervously. "Just...do not get yourself blown up by a Dracon. We worked hard enough to revive you today." ...why did I think of Ossanlin as helping? Granted he did risk his own life and head the majority, but why would I...need to get Myitt and myself out of here fast.

Mar glances around the area for a plausible weapon and eventually decides to use either kinesis (which still seems to work) and fire (which may or may not work. More difficult). He hopes that he will know if Myitt is having difficulty.

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

*Ossanlin nods as things start to come together.*  <Arriving in a ship might be a bit more dignified, but it also might be a bit more threatening.  Walking under our own power might yet be the better alternative.  Alic, I want you to act as the first response.>  *He tosses the femme andalite a spare communicator from his harness pouch.*  <I want you to let everyone know if we're in trouble, and come save our hides if that happens.>  *Ossanlin smiles slightly with his eyes at Temrash and Jagill for a moment.  He was perfectly aware of what the combination of beings was capable of...he had seen some of the fight through the trees.*

<Myitt, Cor, if you guys want to be our backup armada, be my guest, but try to stay out of sight or at least in a non-threatening formation...I want to give this Nisraeln every shot at peace before we resort to other tactics.  Unless of course Myitt would like to come with us.>  *Ossanlin smiled briefly at Myitt.*  <It might give us another advantage...but Mar is right...we DID work very hard to bring you back earlier...you're not easily killed, but it would kill me if you managed to die twice in one day.  Breek, I certainly welcome your help if need be, but only if need be.  Your power-source is not to be lightly trifled with, as if you didn't already know that.  And Mar too...between you both we'll have a formidable second wave if it's necessary.>

*Ossanlin glanced warily at Shal.*  <I don't know about you Shal, you haven't even spoken...look we all love you, you don't seem coherent right now.  I think Breek's right, it might not be a great idea for you to come along...>  *Ossanlin grimaced to himself before surveying the rest of the room.*  <Does that sound good to everyone?>  *Ossanlin spared another glance at Alic, he hoped the assignment he'd given her would be enough for her pride, if she insisted on going he might let her, but truth be told he was worried that she would speak before she thought and that wouldn't help in a delicate situation like this.*

[Alic]

Alic caught the communicator and shrugged. <Sure.> She looked away, dissspointed, of course. She knew she acted on impulse, but that might be needed with this hunter.
She then glanced back, a little bit of worry in her eyes. <Be safe.> Alic held up the communicator and waved it slightly, letting them know she was ready when they were. She would do her best not to show her bitterness towards her part, or might be part rather. This was something the child could have easily done, and it was given to her instead. She was jealous that she would miss all the good parts.

[Chad32]

"Alright, Ossalin. What say you and I go talk to this guy."

<Depend on Andalite in battle?>

<Yes. But it's not like we've never done it before. Remember the swamp beast of Taloran?>

<Yes. Tried to eat everyone. You almost kill Andalite commander.>

<Eh, he was a slow learner. didin't believe we all needed to work together until that thing practically had us in its jaws.>

[Breekan1]

Breekan bends down to pick Keirdan up. "You're right, sir. Because you only use guns for killing people, and killing people stinks." He looks at Shal. "Look, you're about a thousand years from being in your right mind. I... well ****, here." He reaches into one of his pockets and pulls out a pen and paper. "If you've got even one good reason why I should let you get yourself killed over someone else's bounty, here's your chance."

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

*Ossanlin spares a cynical look at Breek.*  <Actually I prefer blades.  If I really wanted to kill the guy do you think I'd be trying to talk him out of attacking us?  Breek, you've known me for a long time...you know me well enough to know that I despise destroying lives and do all I can to preserve them.  I just don't want your boss possessing you...then I'd lose another friend and I think it would be harder to get you back than it was to get Myitt back.>

*Ossanlin looks over to Alic again...he did feel bad because he knew she wanted to go.  But again his memory flared up and he knew she would just as soon kill the bounty hunter than talk with him.  One false step would be all it took and lives could be lost.  She hadn't asked to go, and he couldn't bring himself to offer it.  The commanding officer in him screamed against taking her along...but she would be fierce if things broke out.*  <Alic, I need someone I can trust with that communicator...perh aps you can come to the edge of the woods and stay out of sight, stay back unless I give the word, and stay within thought-speech range of the bar and out of thought-speech range of the bounty-hunter.  If we call in the big guns, we don't want him alerted.>

*Ossanlin turns to Temrash and nods*  <Yeah, let's get on with it.  Hopefully things will not resort to violence this time.>  *He starts for the door of the bar.*

[Chad32]

Temrash left the bar, and began walking to the hunter's crash site. His burn wounds were doing well, but it would take a week before his foreblades were back to their proper length. This hunter was far from the first person sent to destroy him, and the first few he tried to talk with seemed to either hate him passionately or just didn't care at all. But this one apparently held his own life at more value than the others. He also knew how to hold back, instead of killing anyone around temrash as well as attempting to kill him.

"I believe this one respects the value of life, as well as money. Hopefully we can convince him that the effort isn't worth the pay."

[Breekan1]

Breekan fires a quick glance at Ossanlin. "I appreciate the sentiment, Oss, but now's not the time- I'm a bit busy trying to talk Shal out of committing suicide-by-bounty hunter. We can discuss fencing or whatever it is you do when we're kicking back with a few drinks and no one's trying to drag their fool ass into battle."

Breekan's ears perk up as Temrash is out of the bar. He shouts over to them. "If that's the case, just bribe the guy and be done with it!"

[Alic]

Alic eyed the communicator then looked up at Ossanlin, just a hint of a smile in her eyes.  <Ill do what I need to. Just call me if you need backup, don't hesitate.>
Alic followed after the two, and she would follow them the entire way until Ossanlin asked her to stop and wait. She kept a glaring stalk eye on Temrash on the way out.
(( uh. I'm sitting at the bar right now and instead of enjoying my birthday I am on.. Here! Hehe. One beer down....))

[Myitt]

((Virtual toast for Patty's birthday!  Happy 23rd you old b*stard! ))

"Breek, Ossanlin, we'll be cloaked above the tree line in the Skimmer," says Myitt, as Corliss inspects his detonator.  "If you need firepower or anything else, call us with this."  She hands Breekan a small, flat black metal square: Standard issue Yeerkish comm link.  Myitt glances around at the remaining bar denizens.  "If anyone else wants to come with us, now's your last chance.  We're ready to roll out."  She looks briefly at Shal.
