Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Shenmue654]

((Sorry. Had a sleepover with a friend. : ) Four pages?! ))

Mar glances at the newcomer briefly and rolls his eyes. Another individual to complicate matters. Ah, well. He might be useful.

Mar then, listening to the conversation with Ardiss, speaks up. "Your plan is plausible enough. I'm not sure why, but I know that you are right about the Visser on Earth being two pins short of a pincushion. However...when one of me last appeared in your world, he had become even more paranoid than usual for reasons unknown. If you are caught, you will suffer terribly. And I cannot be made responsible for this, even if I did promise protection. Do what you will, but be quite careful."

Mar frowns. It's not unusual that one variant would have bits of useless information from another, but why in the world would any version of me have wanted to come here for any reason other than Myitt? There are no climactic conflicts to speak of except one, and that one is not in my territory. I shall have to look into this when or if I leave the Bar.

"Besides the fact that Visser Three has a tendancy to kill subordinates for no justifyable reason. Being anywhere near him is unsafe, which is why I never transferred any soldier to him when times came to move people around. Though it might work. I could work out a plan for you to live there, and supply you with portable kandrona machines so you don't have to go down to the pool. If all goes well, they might never even know who you really are. You'd work under an alias, which would be made easier by the fact that Christine is already in the system."

[Myitt]

Corliss looks over at Mar, eyes narrowing.  "What the bleeding hell do you mean, 'one of you'?  Just how big of a cosmic ego do you 'ave, anyway?"

[Shenmue654]

Mar glances at Corliss and states, "That's rather easy to explain. I am a rather large creature, and not one that is connected in the usual way. What this means is that I can split myself into fragments without causing damage to the whole. However, the fragments as a result are significantly less powerful and less aware than the original being. The original creature can however co-exist with these variants and direct their actions somewhat. They cannot work in unison with one another, as the weakest variants don't even recognize one another and should not be nearby another of the same type."

Mar gestures a hand to his own chest. "I am a mortal variation of one of these fragments, myself. Creating a mortal, unchanged fragment wasn't exactly an intelligent thing for me to do, but I didn't plan to be here for more than ten minutes. As you can see, the situation has changed."

[Myitt]

"Yeah, this place tends to hang on to you much longer than you'd expect," says Corliss flatly.

[Shenmue654]

Mar glances at Corliss and asks casually, "So was it you or your brother that joined the rebellion first? It seems like an odd thing to decide to do."

Mar grins and makes a playful fascimile of Corliss' accent, which sounds odd due to the German tinge in his voice. "Yes, I'm just going to wake up and go against everything I was brainwashed into believing today."

Mar taps his fingertips on the bar and mutters, "I mean how on Earth does it work? If it hadn't happened to my Myitt she might have had a less dangerous life."

[Myitt]

Corliss smiles thinly at Mar.  "It was me who sort of fell first, me and Reven and a few of our friends.  You ought to know how hard it is to convince Myitt of anything, and then to get her to act upon the things she's convinced of.  Well, at least when they involve becoming a traitor and demolishing your government, destroying lives...you know, it's not a bloody cakewalk.  It's...really not that fun."

[Shenmue654]

Mar grins a bit. "I didn't think so. You must truly believe that what you're doing is right if you'd pursue it at such risk to your own lives. That's admirable I suppose. I do hope such effort doesn't end up being a waste. Especially since Myitt is involved. We've already seen for ourselves how much of a headache keeping your secrets can be."

He then lays back against the Bar, still curious about the newcomer. Perhaps I should speak with him.

[Darth Revan]

“Well? You coming, Parker?” Hunter moved towards the door.

"Yeah, let's see what you got under the hood." Parker shuts off his ext speakers, "Thor, what's the odds that this Z-space engine can work with slipspace?

<It's highly improbable, however I will do a scan. This individual may have a special engine with different capabilities.>

"Great, let me know," Parker reactivates his speakers as he walks towards Hunter and the door, "What is Z-space?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Keirdan freezes as the piece of crystal catches on the folds of his shirt. He glances over his shoulder and shoots Zarris a sour look; however, he leaves the crystal where it is. He glances back at Danika and asks, "Can you make your robot find the ship? I can't see it. If we can find it, I can make it turn on."


((Chad, your call, find it or don't. ))

[Chad32]

(If we don't find it, then we can move on to the abduction. Or attempted abduction. But don't worry guys. They're not going to disect keirdan, or anything crazy.)

"Sorry Keirdan. My little tool doesn't have enough power. But I could show you my ship if it will make you feel better. We could even go for a ride, if it suits you."

[Myitt]

Corliss laughs.  "Well, I hope we haven't been wasting our time, and our friends' lives, either."  He follows Mar's gaze out the window.  "What're you looking at?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Keirdan ****s his head, and squints at Danika. "I can only go with you if you're a person. Breekan said so."

[Chad32]

"You don't even know what a person is, exactly. Let's think about this. How long ago did he say you could only talk to people? Was it recently? If so, then maybe it was because of the hostile demon monster that threatened to kill us all. He wasn't sure what it would be, so he gave you advice that wasn't very specific. But now the monster is gone, and everyone is being nice. So you don't have to worry about that now."

"All you have to worry about is having fun. Now, do you want to have fin with him, or me?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Keirdan hesitates a moment. Knowing better than to deliberately disobey his siblings, he grins at Danika, and responds. "What kind of ship do you drive?"
