"Andalites?  Haha, I wasn't referring to Andalite jurors," Corliss says, quite amused at the thought.  "At least they would give you a proper jury.  But I also really doubt the Yeerk Empire would have captured your friend, if he does have any trial at all.  My people have more direct ways of dealing with aliens.  So let us hope it was one of your human space travellers, if humans have democratic justice in your reality." 

"I have a theory about it," Myitt muses quietly.  "About the bar.  Unfortunately the proofs were destroyed when that wall got blown apart.  I could probably write it out again, but the long and short of it is this place is an interdimensional linchpin.  The bar is the center of anomalies in space-time, where the very fabric of space is stretched so thin that it tears. You can fly straight from one reality into another and back out again, and your ship coordinates will never tell you you've left your normal star charts.  But, haven't you noticed they will also never tell you quite where you are?  You know how to get here, but once you're here, where are you exactly?  Even this planetoid, this little terraformed moon, it's not on any system map I know of.  We all just kind of...know about it.  Word of mouth.  Accident."  She glances at Shal, Keirdan and Breekan.  "For purposes we might not even know about.  It's like spokes, all radiating out from this one centerpoint, but somehow sending us back to the same pie slice we came from.  Every single time, like we were grounded in our own timestream.  And what if two people from different realities leave here together?  Then it seems to be based on whatever the individual desires.  How can a physical place make someone powerful enough to change their own subtemporal underpinnings?  The mathematics of it is...it makes my head hurt."

(Things seem to get real active around here when I'm asleep. *sigh*.)

"No thanks Ossy. I think it may be best if I handle things myself here." Temrash said. He wasn't so sure about leading an Andalite to any of his hiding places. Even taking an Andalite ship.

"Captain Gaz, I wouldn't think of not paying you. I can offer 500 Galardian Credits for getting me there. After that, I'll be able to use my own ship to get back. It will take two days, so I won't need any Kandrona rays until after I get there. We can leave whenever you're ready."

(I have work from 11-4 EST. So if I don't reply right away, that's why.)

"Well," said Fletcher, "maybe we do come from a different...what-do-ya-call-it...dimension. I'm guessin in ours Andalites aren't so friendly about pirates. Specially when a member of Morgan's crew is an Andalite."

"Sounds like a fair deal," Gaz said. "The Vagabond is freshly stocked and ready to go."

"Barkeep. Let me buy a large container." Temrash said. With the container, he made his way outside. "Best to stock up on some bark. You probably don't have any, Gaz, and I don't eat treated wood." He stripped enough to get him a couple of days, and went to the Vagabond to wait by it.

Kara can feel her mind growing heavy with the exertion of the past hour or so. Unwittingly she yawns and leans her head back against the bar once more. A few minutes later her breathing slows and she slides to one side, curling up on the floor and fast asleep.

-------

Ardiss continues to swim in agonizingly small circles, pondering her fate, wondering how much longer it will be before the end comes. She has no way of knowing that she has successfully gleaned a protector and is now quite certain that the delay is merely caused by a debate on what the best way to kill her would be.

"You'd be right," Gaz said, "bark isn't something I keep in stock. You better get what you need and we'll load it up."

Gaz stepped out to The Vagabond and opened it up. "I'll show you where the hold is."

She led the way and pointed to an open room. "You can set it down right in there. I better go tap Fletcher."

Gaz headed back inside and said, "Fletcher, I think our paying party is just about ready to head out."

Mar smiles and strokes Kara's head casually. At last. She truly needed the extra rest. Perhaps now I can at least check. Since I knew what Breekan and Shal were for the most part, this is probably operational. Mar reaches out his strange purple gauntlet-arm and touches Kara's chest as she sleeps. The response is fairly immediate. My my...the Yeerk has done more damage than even she realizes. But the core aspects are still beautiful, bright, and delicious. I will love taking this one dearly.

Mar then takes his arm off Kara, and glances at Myitt. "That theory doesn't seem too far off. Before I came in I witnessed a bizarre tangled crossroads of universe lines, which must have been this place. It was really the only reason I was able to use this form at all. In most cases my natural state is too vague to create anything more than temporarily solid or appearing as such through illusion. In this place I could joyride on the timestream lines of others and create a true physical shape."

"I wonder if that's why so many people on the run from things wind up here," Breekan muses. "Maybe the place calls to those who need an escape from their home reality."

"Lucky for us, Mar, and especially lucky for me.  Saving my life and all."  Myitt laughs.  "Breek, if I wanted an escape from my reality, I wouldn't hang out in a place where in the course of a visit you get your human friend sliced up by a Visser who wants you dead, shot at by bounty hunters, killed and resurrected.  I come here for the booze and of course the company.  The good company."

Corliss makes sure Kara is sleeping and still alright, then steps over and sits next to Myitt at the bar.  "As opposed to bad company?"

Myitt grins, and Corliss plays air guitar.  "'Baaaad company, I can't deny...'" He giggles.  "Tell me that isn't on your precious jukebox somewhere, eh?"

Almost as if in response, the jukebox record changes to Elvis.  'Caught in a trap, I can't walk out...'

"Hah!  You owe me a Sam, pal," Myitt crows.

"Ugh, but it's so overdone," Corliss protests.  "Bartender, Sam Adams for my brother.  On my tab."

The bartender eyes him briefly, glancing at Myitt, then goes to a cooler and fishes around a large number of strange bottles.  He eventually pulls out a beer bottle and hands it to Myitt, cracking the top off with an opener.  "Glass?" he scribbles.

"No thanks, my good man," says Myitt.  She looks around idly, sipping the beer.  "Where'd your new friends go?  The pirates."

"Off with Temrash to find his ruddy mind eraser," says Corliss darkly.  

Myitt shrugs halfly.  "Better than dying, I guess.  As long as we can trust Temrash to erase everything but her name...memory's too fickle to trust erasing bits and pieces.  She has seen maybe 70% of Tara's memories, rapid fire, focusing on the current events and our lovely little band, by default."

"Bloody 'ell," Corliss sighs, looking over at Ardiss, swimming frustratedly in the little plastic container.  

The Kandrona generator has all but sputtered out.

"I haven't gone anywhere yet," Gaz said as she walked up to the bar. "Haven't finished my rum yet."

((Gaz, you're going to have to tell me if you're the friendly kind of Pirate Vampire.   :D )

Mar nods. He seems to be feeling somewhat better, sitting up in this position. It's a lot better than being flat on the floor and the pain isn't killing him anymore. "Actually, I'm not so thrilled that I was here. If I hadn't been such a nice person you would've ended up in my arms rather than in danger, and I wouldn't be worried about getting in the way of another entity of great power. This entire experience has been an absolute nightmare. Although..."

Mar glances around the bar. "...I guess I did meet several acquaintances of good character who may owe me one later."

(I'm the friendly kind, yep.  ;D)

"Anyway, Corliss," Gaz said, "gotta remember I'm only transporting this guy to where he wants cuz he's paying."

"Pirate way, huh?" Fletcher asked. "Do anything if it pays. Or if there's something to be gained."

Keirdan stirs, and stares at Shalner for a moment. He kicks the blanket off, pick is it up, and walks over to Kara. He sits next to her and covers her with the blanket. He begins to play with her hair, continuing to glare at Shalner. He asks, in a hoarse voice, "Is this lady dead?"





Shal lets out a low sigh, and remains in her spot on the floor, cradling her head in her hands.

"Oh, yeah, Gaz isn't it?  Did I introduce myself?  I'm Myitt.  This loser is my brother," Myitt says, playfully punching Corliss in the arm.  

"I thought you were gone already," says Corliss, noting Fletcher is still here as well.  "Don't worry, I think Temrash might actually have a decent idea, with his memory erasure machine.  Sure beats cold blooded killing."

"You pirates ever deal in exotic machinery?  Like, say, Kandrona wave/particle generators?  I don't suppose you even know what those are, that all depends on where you're from," Myitt muses.  

She smiles briefly at Mar.  "I'm glad you're such a nice person, then."  Noticing Keirdan she calls over to him.  "Hey, little buddy, you're awake!  That lady's not dead, she's just really tired.  She'll be okay.  How about you, how are you doing?"

"No," said Gaz, "still here. Just went to check up on my ship. I'm a little protective of it ever since someone tried to..."

"Yes!" Fletcher interupted. "We know! Can you stop that now?"

"No," Gaz replied. Then Gaz contemplated what Myitt asked. "I've heard of them. Never carried any myself, never had reason to. Fletcher, don't you know a guy?"

"I think so," said Fletcher. "That's if he's still in business."
