(I'll think up a post for Morgan and Asda later.)

[Terenia]

<Mission?> Terenia asks blandly, <You mean the one I was supposedly returning from when my ship decided to dump me here instead?> She shrugs, appearing bored by the topic. <I was relaying a message. One that the Visser could not relay himself, but wanted delivered personally. I am quite a good carrier pigeon.>

She laughs loudly, knowing that Claxter has no idea what a 'carrier pigeon' is. Slowly she turns, focusing her main eyes on Claxter for the first time to show that she is giving him the benefit of her nearly-full attention.

<You know, I can see why Efaen has a thing for you,> she says, <You two are very similar, with your brains half rotted by Andalite propaganda and this whole notion that honor is something worth obtaining and worth fighting to keep. I may have just met you, Claxter, but you are very much like every young warrior I have ever met. Not to say the Yeerks are without their own brand of slander, but somehow it's easier to ignore when you aren't being used.>

<Shut up, Terenia> Efaen said, sounding both murderous and mortified.

<What? I'm only telling him the truth. He's young enough, he may still have a chance. Besides, once they force me out of you I want you to be able to have some fun with him.>

<We'll have fun stomping all over your dead body,> Efaen threatened.

<I wouldn't suggest it,> Terenia replied, <I doubt I would taste very good.>

[Chad32]

<For being much like a typical warrior,  haven't tried killing anyone yet. Even though there are two Yeerks and a nothlit that works for the Empire. It's always good to have standards, and that's where honor comes in. Maybe if I get your sister back, I'll make you say thank you before returning her.>

Claxter was happy that Efaen liked him, but he decided he'd wait until Terenia was out before any cutesy mushy talk.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Raksha turned to Morgan after thinking for a bit. "You said you named me Silver, right?" she asked with a tilted look. "The name Raksha was given to me by someone who had found me. Raksha Keller means Demon of death. It was my name as I was able to shift forms, they thought I would decieve them and kill them in their sleep." She told him a bit of her past and how the villagers there did not particularly like her as she grew up in their midst.

[Gaz]

"If you're a killer demon," Morgan said, "then I'm Theseus."

"Didn't your parents almost name you that?" Asda questioned.

Morgan rolled his eyes. "That would have been irony itself given present circumstances."

Asda chuckled and held her side. She carefully sat and asked for some water.

After a sip of his rum Morgan said, "We nicknamed you Silver, actually, for your eyes. Until we could think of a more permanent name. We wanted to name you after a woman of Greek myth since my name is Odysseus and your mother's name was Andromeda. Never had the chance to make a decision."

[Darth Revan]

With Raksha confirmed, Thor resumed his normal apperance, "Congratulations on the reunion," and with that, he disappeared. Parker lightly patted Morgan on the shoulder, and placed his other between Raksha/Silver's shoulder blades, "Congrats, guys. I'll let you get acquainted."

Parker waked outside and saw the fight between Fox and Zoshonel. After it was done, he followed Zoshonel inside and asked, "So how'd my Battle Rife work out for you? Aren't you glad we had target practice before this?"

[Chad32]

"The battle rifle works well, but Fox has a deflector shield. I'm not sure how strong the shield is, but long ranged weapons aren't safe to use against him. The battle was interesting and fun."

[Darth Revan]

"It seemed the shield only worked when he activated it. You should've distracted him, then shot; but, you did good. You're definitely more comfortable with melee combat. Do you still want to lug that thing around?"

[Chad32]

"I think it's time I give it back to you. Yeah I may have given up on long ranged attacks too soon, as it was the first time I fought someone like that. Maybe in the future we can set something up to do different simulations."

[Darth Revan]

"You got it pal." Parker takes the Battle Rifle and hooks it to his back. It sits next to his shotgun which, in turn, is next to his sniper rifle. Parker shrugs his shoulders reacquainting himself with the added weight. "Feels good to be whole again."

[Terenia]

<You won't be getting my sister back for me,> Terenia says, turning slightly away from him again. <At this point, I suppose no one will. I certainly won't be walking out of here, and Efaen would sooner die than go near that Blade Ship again. Not that I blame her. No, I'm quite certain that once you starve me out of here you'll leave me to die, or maybe be generous and let me swim in blind circles for the rest of my life. Very honorable.>

[Myitt]

"You could always join up with us," Corliss offers to Terenia, leaning over.  "Although I'm afraid we'd have to make sure you never left and went back to your old boss, once you knew a bit more about exactly where we live, that sort of thing."  He shrugs.  "It's just a thought.  Certainly no one's going to starve you out of that host, not while any decent people are here."

[Terenia]

Terenia shrugs moodily, <I'm not in the business of defeating the Empire, any more than I'm in the business of helping it. I prefer to let things run their course, even war. Not everyone has to be a hero with a cause.>

[Darth Revan]

Parker finally buts into the conversation filling his head, "Perhaps not everyone has to a hero, but we all have to do our part. I don't seek to be a hero, I just do the best to my ability to ensure the freedom and longevity of mankind."

[Chad32]

<I don't know how you can be so self serving, yet forced into doing something you don't want to do just because someone took your sister. That's contadictory. What would you do with your sister if you ever freed her, and what would she think of you?>
