[Myitt]

"You'll forgive us," Corliss says, back in control and drawing his Dracon, "if we don't trust you."

[Chad32]

"We are not sure of your motives, though. Why are you bringing her into your ship? This is not a private matter, as interacting with her brings in everything she is connected with."

[Darth Revan]

Ignoring the gun, The Director looks to the robot and replies, "You have a warped sense of the word 'Private'." He then turns his attention to the gun, "Shoot if you like, It won't do anything." As he speaks he flips the screwdriver back around and holds the button down, "Unless your weapon has a deadlock seal, and I highly doubt it, you've lost your leverage."

[Myitt]

Corliss glances down at the Dracon.  He flips it onto stun and experimentally shoots it at the ground, turning away from The Director.  Nothing happens, only a few blinking lights indicating empty power cells.

He turns and glares at The Director, putting the gun away.  "I don't think you quite understand what you're doing," he says, feigning patience.  "You are impeding the development of the human race as a free species, and meddling in an intergalactic war that, sorry to say, just isn't yours, Director."

[Darth Revan]

The Director  gave the frustrated alien an "oh please" look. He then turned his back to unlock the door.

((Teach, where are you? I'd like The Director to rush Terenia in, but I can't without you here!))

[KitsuneMarie]

((She's at work, Parker. School is still in session in her district for a few more weeks. Also, make sure Jessi wants Terenia to go before the Director forces her to.))

[Myitt]

((She's probably working, Parker, like most people at this hour   We'll wait here a bit.))

[Chad32]

"I don't know if my own blaster would work, even if he didn't have the device on. I don't really want to choose sides, either. Who does Terenia work for, anyway?"

[Darth Revan]

((Yeah, I figured as much. I wasn't going to force T in, I was just going to suggest she get in quickly. ))

[Terenia]

((Sorry for the delay, guys. Work will do that ))

Terenia hesitates, indecision fleeting across her face as she looks between Corliss and The Director.

<<You can't leave,>> Efaen says, <<you just condemned Myitt to die, and you are going to waltz out of here without even saying anything to Corliss?>>

<<What do you care,> Terenia shoots back, <they're Yeerks. You hate them on principle.>>

<<That does not make your actions right,>> Efaen scolds, <<especially considering your feelings for Corliss.>>

<What?> Terenia asks, so stunned that she accidentally speaks openly. Quickly she resorts back to private thought-speak, <<you're mad!>>

<Am I?>

Terenia stands there, heat rising into her cheeks as she strives for a properly heinous insult to retort with. When nothing comes to mind she stomps her hoof in a huff and adjusts her bag.

<Thank you for your assistance, Director,> Terenia says, hoping that everyone will ignore her outburst, <but perhaps it is best that we move our conversation to a later time.>

[Myitt]

Corliss watches Terenia with a look of barely hidden amusement.  He's seen that sort of outburst too many times not to recognize what it was...but what was Terenia so surprised about?  He mentally shrugs it off, turning back to business.

"So, where have you been, then?" Corliss asks, stepping towards her and The Director, giving the humanoid creature a scathing look.  "Wasn't there good enough company, back in the bar?"

<Can't believe he's a Time Lord, and 'e's a fecking git,> Mike sulks.

<What did you expect?  Aliens show up and force you to run round getting shot at, and your favorite television personality turns out to be a real hell of a dapsen,> says Corliss.  <Shh, now I'm trying to concentrate, here.>

Sorry I've bothered you, then, ya great slimy wank--

<I heard that,> Corliss grumbles.  <I am trying to listen!>

[Darth Revan]

The Director had just entered the key, before he was able to turn it, Terenia refused his help. He let his head hang a moment, exited the key, and put it in his breast pocket. "If that's what you want..." He raised an eyebrow silently asking if she was certain, "We're right here. He can't hurt you, two steps..." He started to mime the motion of someone walking slowly.

[Terenia]

<I wasn't aware that I needed to check in with you every time I wanted to go somewhere,> Terenia says to Corliss dryly, concealing her embarrassment with a thick veil of sarcasm, <What, are you my body guard now? I went to my ship,> she pats the bag over her shoulder, <I wanted to get my portable pool. I don't much trust it sitting there, not with every damned person at this bar trying to "help" me.>

To the Director she adds, <I'm not worried about him hurting me, and I'd be happy to, ah....tour....your ship in a bit. Evidently my spectacular presence is desired at the moment, though.>

"I think..." Trey pauses and swallows hard, then tries again, "what I mean to say is, it wouldn't be...safe...for you to go back to Earth. I don't know...you look so..." he flounders again, cringing against his own awkwardness.

"Look, I don't know who you are, but I just get this feeling that you on Earth would be a bad thing," he blurts at last. Dammit, he thinks to himself, she probably thinks I'm completely crazy. If only I could think of how I know her...

[Chad32]

"So you were planning on taking something valuable along for your 'tour'?" Belzar asked. "I suppose I can't blame you for wanting to get away from people you don't like. I'd like to get away too, but for different reasons."

[Darth Revan]

The Director nods his head in understanding and says, "Okay, just give me the word and I'l give the 5 star tour." He put his screwdriver in his inside jacket pocket and clapped his hands together, "Well, since no one wants a tour, how about a drink? My treat." He walks directly between Corliss and Terenia and heads toward the bar.
