Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[HiImshort]

Fox was contnuing to talk to Ossanlin, releasing his grip in the process, and he decided to lower his voice to something that they can hear but nbody else: "Ok, prince Ossanlin. I understand where your coming from. I'd do the same thing myslf but I have to tell you that I will not be attending the meetings. I will relay this message to General Peppy however. I also want to show you what the great fox looks like but I have to get clearance from the General first."

At that monent a new guy walks into the bar and pulls a gun. Fox winks at Ossanlin and says in a low tone: "I got this." He turns around to see Parker with his rifle pointed at the stranger. Fox turns around and says: I'll wait."

[Terenia]

((ok, quick history of Terenia for those of you who didn't understand or weren't following her conversation with Mike. Terenia was born a human, on Earth, but became an Andalite nothlit around age 10-11. She joined the military as an aristh & everyone thought she was an Andalite, albeit a slightly slow one. Stuff happened, they found out she was human, they decided to turn her into a science project, which resulted in her morphing being restored (yay new tech!). Then, through other events, she re-nothlitizes herself, this time for good and in Yeerk form. Then she got an Andalite host. This time she's stuck, there's absolutely no way to restore her morphing capability, so she'll live life out in Yeerk form.

I know, way too complicated. That's what happens when you have 13 years of backstory on a character.))

Terenia doesn't answer Mike's assessment. She knows that if he works it out for long enough, he'll figure out who she works for. When the newcomer bursts into the bar, guns a-blazing, she turns her attention to them, the conversation not forgotten, but put aside for the moment. her hands drift down to her holster and she stiffens slightly, but she remains facing the bar, using only her stalk eyes to watch the events as they unfold.

(Ok. So is the host voluntary? This will definitely not sit well with Claxter once he figures it out, but for now I'll deal with the new guy.)

Zoshonel turns towards the new person and snarls. "You had best explain yourself before pointing a firearm in a crowded bar, stranger.

Claxter was off to the side, and demorphed, so he slowly began inching towars the new guy. His tail was about the fastest thing in the bar, excluding Prince Ossanlin's, though he wasn't sure he could sneak well with hooves. and he wasn't an estreen that could swiftly morph his hooves into something furry. However, he tried to get within striking range.

(I decided Claxter is not an estreen. That might make him too cool if he's a good pilot, tail fighter, and estreen.)

[Terenia]

((You'll have to ask Terenia if the host is voluntary or not  ))

[Myitt]

Mike shook his head, trying to avoid confrontation with the gun-toting newcomer, glaring down at the bar counter.  With half his attention on the pirates and their adversary, he wonders aloud, still within earshot, "There's no way.  Unless your being an Andalite-Controller were somehow a tip off to someone who wanted to find you, there's no way the Yeerk Empire would hide it."  He looks over at Terenia, with sudden urgency.  "What year is it, where you're from?  No, that may not help.  What's the status of the war on Earth?"

[Terenia]

<Seems like it's about the same as on yours,> Terenia says casually, <And you're right. The Empire as a whole would exploit my existence as another Andalite failure. But certain individuals like to keep the glory for themselves. My existence would cause an uproar amongst the Empire Yeerks as well.>

[Myitt]

"But why?  I don't understand," Mike says.  "Why would the existence of an Andalite-Controller cause an uproar amongst the Yeerk Empire?  Unless Visser Three couldn't stand another Yeerk having an Andalite host...but come off it, isn't that what the Empire's trying to do, eventually, anyway?"

[HiImshort]

While Fox was waiting his angry grew at the rudeness of the stranger and how he just pulled a gun and started demanding things. Fox then lips to Ossanlin: "I'll be back." Fox sneaks up on the new guy and pulls his blaster and doesn't make a sound doing it. He puts it in the crevace of his back and says: "You don't want to try that. Holster that and walk outside. Now!"

((OOC Sorry parker but I was gong to post this and decided to stop.)

[Gaz]

The man keeps his gun leveled at Morgan, but he speaks to those who have confronted him.

"Stay out of this, all of you," he said. "These two are fugitives from justice. There is a warrant to bring them in dead or alive. If anyone tries to help them, they will be taken in for defending and abetting fugitives."

"What do you want here, son?" Morgan said as he got up from the chair. At his full height, Morgan towered over the man.

Despite having a full grown minotaur standing in front of him, the man managed to keep his composure.

"Where's Roshna Vondran, the one who calls herself Gaz?" the young man asked.

"Away," Morgan replied. "Son, this isn't a good idea. You're on your own, in a universe other than your own. Central Government has no authority here. You're in a bar full of mostly fugitives who don't take kindly to the law. I'd get out of here if I were you."

The man wasn't being smart apparently, as he kept his gun leveled.

"Even if I have to kill you," the man said, "I'll still be rewarded."

[Terenia]

<What the Empire is trying to do and what Visser Three is trying to do don't always align themselves with one another. The Visser is an extremely selfish Yeerk, and his entire agenda revolves around the fact that he is the only Andalite-Controller,> Terenia says, shrugging. She glances at Ossanlin and Aliciana and Claxter, true Andalites who would likely, after knowing her story, prefer her head on a platter to an explanation.

[Myitt]

"Right, Visser Three is pretty well off the deep end.  Okay.  So," Mike reasons, "you must be working for some faction of the Empire that's keeping your existence a secret.  But I can't reckon what that is, unless the bloody Peace Movement decided to take you in.  I know they certainly 'aven't done a thing like that where I'm from, but then again, we aren't always on the best of terms.  We aren't peaceful enough."

[Darth Revan]

Parker says after the "cop's" warning, "You come in without announcing yourself or who you represent and you expect us to just hand over our friends? You have two guns on you right now, others around us have a hand on a gun, and you have a large Minotaur standing over you, and a fire breathing dragon above you. You should seriously rethink your options. Even if you do kill Morgan, the only reward you'll get is death from 8 directions. Now stand down."

[Terenia]

Terenia shrugs, <If you can't figure it out on your own after all the blatant hints I've given you, I'm not going to tell you. Besides, I'm not supposed to talk. I'm not supposed to do much of anything, except follow orders. Makes me feel like a damned puppy dog sometimes.>

[Myitt]

"Well, the only other thing I can figure, right, is if Visser Three doesn't want your presence known so badly, that he's making you work for 'im," says Mike with a shrug, like it wasn't a very good theory.  He pauses, then stares at Terenia.  "Bleeding Christ, thassit, innit?  Are you really working for that lunatic?"

[Gaz]

While he had been trying to talk the young man out of it, Morgan had been clenching his fist. Before the young cop could say anymore, Morgan swung a large fist in this direction.

As Morgan's fist connected with the man's head, his gun went off.

Morgan was shaking his fist as he asked, "Was anyone..."

Before he could finish, he heard a voice say quietly, "Captain..."

Morgan turned in time to see Asda clutching her side with her lower set of hands.

"Captain," she said again, and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Asda!" Morgan shouted, as he rushed over.
