Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Chad32]

"Alright. I will assist you." Belzar said. Another case of a crash where someone has died. At least the survivor was in better shape this time.

[Myitt]

Corliss smirks.  "No worries, love.  Thought I'd jump clean through me skin, noise like that.  Can't even hear right, Mike's always been sensitive to loud stuff."  He squints and taps at the side of his head again. 

<It's called titinus, Cor, and smacking the side of me gob ain't gonna do much good,> says Mike irritably.

Corliss withdraws his hand and continues without missing a beat, "As for Myitt, when and if she gets back here, I believe I will drag her away before she can get into any more trouble.  The base..."  He stops and shakes his head.  "It's not the best time to be playing superhero or vigilante or whatever the bleeding Christ she's doing out there.  Although...if she manages to bring your sister back here, that's a plus, innit?"

He looks over at Elayne.  "Hello, then!" he says brightly.  "We were wondering where you'd gone off to, Mike and I.  Hoped you hadn't fallen into that grave."  Corliss' gaze trails over to the table where Trey is dozing.  "Poor little bloke.  Heard about 'is dad.  Now what's a kid doing in a place like this, parentless?  He's human, yeah?"

[Terenia]

((Chad, I think you meant to post that second part in Time Cops ))

Terenia takes a deep breath, forcing herself to relax her muscles. She drinks deeply from her glass of water and by the time she places it back down on the table she seems to be more composed.

"Yeah, that would be wonderful," Terenia says dryly to Corliss' comment about her sister. She turns to Elayne, "yeah, what's the story with the boy? The older guy - his dad? - looked pretty done for. I mean, those were some mad gashes on his face."

[Chad32]

(I guess that was bound to happen, wasn't it?)

[KitsuneMarie]

Elayne lowered her beer and sank into the chair. "He has a strange story," she said, glancing back at the sleeping Trey before turning back to Corliss and Terenia. "He's the son of two Yeerk nothlits. So far as I can tell, the two of them were running from the law when the ship got hit. From all the scars on his father, I'd say he'd had a pretty tough life." She gave a sigh and tipped back the bottle again, wondering if things in her version of Earth would ever progress that negatively for Yeerks.

[Myitt]

"The...the son of what?" Corliss stammers.  "Y'mean to say he's from a time when Yeerks are given morphing tech, and...and they...but...cor."  He shakes his head.  "Those wounds, I mean, I got a glimpse when I stepped over 'im.  He looked like 'e'd lost a fight with a bloody cheese grater."  He looks back over at Trey, pityingly.  "I wonder what they were running from."

[Shenmue654]

Keshin gestures at Joanne's head and states, "I'm...I'm Keshin. No need for full names here. And this..." Keshin then gestures at his chest. "...this is Joanne. I'm a small parasite inside her head called a Yeerk."

Keshin looks slightly embarassed. He's never had to explain this to anyone before. "Yeerks...control the person they're inside of. With Joanne and I, this is consensual. I let her take over whenever she's bored or whenever we're in a fight. Get the jist of it?"
*******************************************************************************
Mar notes Corliss' comment regarding the dead man's face and nods, leaning in a bit. But not too much. Wouldn't want to anger the over-protective brother again. "I thought that was bizarre. The two of them have been in a spaceship crash, correct? Yet the older man had recent wounds that could not have come from that alone. I do not think that our young friend is telling the whole truth."

Mar smirks. "But perhaps you'd just prefer to think I'm a madman again."

[Darth Revan]

The Director leaves his hand hanging for a moment and gives up on the shake. "Sentient parasite, got it. So, Joanne, Keshin, nice to meet you both. Well, now that the ship's accessible, let's see what happened, eh?"

The Director strolls up to the wet ship, which still has fires on the very top. He approaches what looks like a hatch and bangs on it, "Hello, anyone alive still?"

[Hunter]

As he bent down to pick up his brother, he heard someone yelling and banging at the side of the hull.

"I'm alive, my brother is dead, three dead Zerg; one Hydralisk, two Zerglings and some robot calling himself Belzar."

Standing up, he walked towards the front end of the cargo area and he pressed a little pad near a pressurized hatch. The door no fully opening, Paul yelled out "Back away from the door!" before he slapped a little pouch of plastic explosive in the middle of the door.

The pouch beeping three times, it exploded with a small, yet high-power blast that blew the door a full 22 yards away from the ship, before hitting a tree and embedding itself halfway in.

[Darth Revan]

The Director backed away from the door when ordered. Luckily he backed away and to the side. After the door flies past, he peaks his head in and looks around, "Well, that's one hell of a mess. So is everyone alive okay?"

[Hunter]

"Well, I've been in worse situations," he said as he stepped out of the door. Finally getting to solid ground, his CMC-400's internal computer system doing a quick check on the planet's atmosphere. Holding his rifle in both hands, he looked around where his ship had ended up.

A few seconds after the scan started, it told him that the atmosphere was almost identical to that of Tarsonis. His suit's visor depolarizing from gold to clear, his face was visible for the first time.

Contradictory to the squad name painted on his shoulder plates, he was white, with a black military style mohawk and he had a slight ammount of stubble growing from his chin.

"The name's Private Paul L. Angel, the last surviving member of the 'Black Angels' Marine Squad. And you are?"

[Darth Revan]

The Director looked the soldier up and down and said, "Leaving, actually. Just wanted to see what the ado was about. Oh, there's a bar about a ways this way if you care to know. See ya inside then eh?" As he turned around, he looked to Joanne and said, "Keshin, Joanne, good to meet you two." With that, he strolled off again back to the bar, this time at a leisurely pace.

[Chad32]

Belzar picked Paul's brother up and made his way out of the ship. "I suppose we can bury your brother near the woods before retiring to the bar."

[Hunter]

((chad, you do realize that a fully armour-clad UED marine, weighs in at nearly as much as a VL Commodore? thats around 1 tonne))

[Chad32]

(Belzar is really strong. He's pure machine, and built for war. Unless you think that's unreasonable.)
