(Good morning all!)

Cavan was quiet for a long while. He was getting used to the fact that his mind and body were his own again.

Morgan walked over and squatted down so he was closer to Cavan.

"You're an extremely lucky man," he said. "There are a lot of people here much more willing to give you a second chance than I am. Even that Corliss fellow after he's seen your head, but even he doesn't know the whole story."

Cavan smirked and said quietly, "You know as well as I, pirate, that if they choose to send me out of here...I'll be back. With more soldiers next time. I stumbled across this place by accident this time, but next time..."

"I know," Morgan said, "you people remember very well. I remember too. I remember the secret labs and what your government did to me!! Do you?!"

Morgan did not realize that with is anger rising, his voice had too.

[Chad32]

(Man you're really making this guy out to be bad. I figured it would be like my bug, which hopefully would have made for interesting drama. Oh well.)

<You really don't want us to let you go, do you? Swearing to come back with a bigger force if we don't execute you.>

[Gaz]

(Yep, this guy's a nasty SOB.  But just wait! If someone asks, Morgan will reveal what he's talking about with the "secret labs".)

[Myitt]

((    ))

Corliss had been lost in thought, still going over everything he had missed.  Terenia, working for Visser Three.  Despite her seeming reluctance, the situation with her sister, it made her dangerous.  "He doesn't know the full extent of what they did to you, Morgan," says Corliss quietly.  He looks up, tilting his head quizzically.  "Why don't you tell him?"

[Gaz]

(It's story time, boys and girls!)

Morgan nodded and said, "Oh he knows about the labs, just not what goes on there. He supports it though. Once I tell, everyone here will know what they do."

Morgan stood up and said, "I had an honest job at one point in time. Back when..." he paused and took a deep breath. "Back when I was...normal. When I was a man. I have to tell the rest of you a brief history of the universe I come from. Hundreds of years ago the government we had was on the verge of collapse. So a new government was made, the Central Government. It seemed good at first, it brought the system together. But now...it's corrupt, but only a few know it. Those like myself. Like I said, I had an honest job once. Something happened though and I was branded a rebel, though I did nothing wrong. I was taken away to a holding center."

He swallowed and said, "I confess I was afraid. I had heard stories of others who had been taken to this place and had never returned. It turns out that prominent Central Government hospitals have experimental laboratories. They use those branded as rebels for guinea pigs. I was one of them."

Morgan used a hand to indicate his appearance. He closed his eyes as he said, "How I look now? I wasn't born this way. I was a human man once. My appearance is the result of their genetic experimentation. I remember the pain. They took my life away from me!"

Morgan's fist was clenched as he said this, growing angry. He took a deep breath and continued.

"Asda was a doctor at this prominent hospital. Top of her field. She was deemed trustworthy by Central Government to be moved to the experimental program. Poor girl thought it was something else. Once she learned what was really being done....she found my files about what they had done. I had been there for 5 years before she came along. Asda helped me escape along with a few others. The other members of my crew. As a result, she was branded a rebel and a fugitive."

Morgan looked back at Cavan. "He may not have known about the program, but I recognize him. He was a guard on the prison transport that took me to that hospital."

Cavan looked at Morgan. "So it IS you!"

"Yes," Morgan said, "it's me. Remember how you also KILLED MY WIFE?! Did you see THAT in his head, Corliss?"

[Myitt]

"He could hide nothing he knew from me, Morgan," says Corliss simply.

[Chad32]

Claxter remained near Cavan. He realised that this man would not be let out alive, thought Claxter had tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. However if Morgan intended to torture him as he had been tortured, Claxter would move swiftly. A quick decapitation would end Cavan, though Morgan may continue raging afterwards. He wondered why Zoshonel had left abruptly, since he din't seem bothered by Cavan's predicament. That seemed odd, though Claxter didn't know him well enough to tell what he was thinking.

Zoshonel entered his ship and typed a message to Temrash. In it he detailed what he knew about terenia, and asked Temrash to save her sister. He waited a few minutes, then recieved a message. temrash came onscreen with a confused look.

"Zoshonel, what is this convulted mess?"

"Our new friend needs help, and you could be in a position to give help."

"Okay. You don't know how impossible this is."

"It is pretty strange."

"She told you she was a Human that got the morphing power. That's very unlikely. She got stuck, and got her power back. That's technologically impossible by my knowledge."

"State of the art freshly new tech."

"She got an Andalite host. That's extremely unlikely. It's also even less likely that the Andalite is voluntary."

"I have not confirmed that yet."

"Okay. Let's say she's telling the truth. On the severe offchance. Is she from the same universe and timeframe? I really don't want to sneak aboard a Bladeship and look for someone that might not be there."

"I'm not sure. I also don't know what she looks like, but her name is Tamora."

"I can ask my contacts if there is anyone by that name on the lists of infested Humans, and if there's anyone under close guard inside the Bladeship. But by the Kandrona sun that is some messed up stuff. I'm going to have to ask Myitt if she's seen anything weirder than this."

[Darth Revan]

Parker moves closer to Morgan as he tells his story, afraid he might do something drastic. "Whatever is going to happen to him, should happen outside. Not everyone is going to understand the measures needed to keep him away."

[Breekan1]

Puk scrambles up onto the Rafters and, reaching down, puts her hands over Morgan's ears, a Gedd signal of reassurance, much like putting a hand on one's shoulder. He nods solemnly. "Trrrransforrrmation s arrren't easy rrreven in the berrrst of times. My corrrndolences."

[Myitt]

"Look.  We may not have a judge and jury," says Corliss, trying to keep a level voice, "but I've seen this man's past.  He's told you his motives, and how bloody determined he is.  If you let him go, he will try again to destroy you.  The way I see it there are three options: Let him go, kill him, or erase his memory of having a hit put out on you.  That will at least give us some time until his employers contact him, and who knows?  Perhaps his government will be so displeased they will take care of him, for us.  I've had enough killing, but this is not my decision to make."

[Gaz]

"Thanks, friend," Morgan said after a deep breath. "I've gotten used to it. I've had to."

"I did your wife a favor!" Cavan sneered.

"Don't finish that sentence," Morgan threatened.

"Why not?" Cavan asked with an odd chuckle. "I'm as good as dead all ready. It's just nobody's pulled the trigger yet."

[Darth Revan]

Parker grabbed Gavan's throat and shoved him against the wall, "Shut. Up. If you ever want to talk again, shut up." Parker released his grip and stood up straight again.

[Gaz]

"And wouldn't you know it," Morgan said after a moment's thought. "It was 9 years ago today I lost her. Andromeda was her name. Right before...right before it happened. We'd had a baby, a little girl. I don't know what happened to her."

Morgan turned to Corliss and asked quieter, "You didn't see anything in his head about my little Silver?"

[Shenmue654]

((Sorry for being gone so long, guys! ))

Keshin had been standing by for many of the events that passed, prepping himself when the situation looked dangerous and standing nearby the group in fascination when Asda was hit. Upon overhearing the discussion about what to do with the bounty hunter, Keshin states,

"This may sound callous considering the source, but kill him. He attacked a member of your group unprovoked and leaving him alive could bring further complication. If I attempted to do the same thing, I would expect no less."

[Chad32]

Zoshonel entered the bar. He needed to find out if terenia was from the same universe as the friends on Earth, but he didn't know how to test it.

"Hey Parker. Can I talk to you outside? It's about Temrash and the others."
