GESB: Operation Cocoa Puffs

[Darth Revan]

Still looking to the invisible speakers, "No, no it's not." Thordon keeps his face and voice void of any emotion. It's rather difficult to tell if he's mad or just stating facts.

[Myitt]

"Well, don't worry, you'll get used to it."  She glances back at Breekan and Mar, making sure Cutter has made it to Gaz's ship.

[Gaz]

"All right," Gaz said as she started to get the ship ready. "Sounds like we're waiting for one more passenger than we can get back to the bar."

[Darth Revan]

"This trip was most enjoyable. Seeing other planets so similar to my own." Thordon shakes his head in wonderment. "I never thought it possible until I had that vision that led me to the bar."

[Gaz]

"Vision, eh?" Gaz said as she checked the ship's systems. "How are things in the engine room, Fletch?"

"All's fine down here," Fletcher replied over ship's comm. "We're ready to go soon as your new recruit shows up."

"New planets cease being remarkable when you've seen over a million of them," states Mar almost boredly, glancing toward Thordon. "A lot of the livable ones have similar composition, although different atmospheres and ecosystems. I do have a certain fondness for Earth. I may decide to pay a visit to your planet in some form or another."

Mar then turns to Myitt and asks, "Are we going back? That trip was miserably short. I was expecting a far more elaborate payoff. Oh, well. You can't run into the Empire every day of the week, my sweet."

[Darth Revan]

((Shen, Thordon's still in Gaz's ship, Mar wouldn't be able to see him. ))

Thordon hears Mar's comment about visiting his planet, he looks up to the ceiling at the invisible microphone and says, "Well, it may be prefered that you choose an avatar not unlike my own. Otherwise, you may get more questions than you want." Thordon smiles, "No one would attack you of course, but they would definitely interrogate you kindly about where you come from."


((I love having a character whose facial expressions can be seen. SPARTANs and their damn helmets. ))

((gah! sorry for not posting earlier, i was at work all day))

Getting ready to head over to the pirates' ship, John said to everyone in Myitt's ship "Thanks for everything, guys. I'll never forget this." Gathering up his tommy gun from where he had placed it in the corner of the ship, he gave Myitt a quick pat on the shoulder, placed the coat on the floor next to the chair and he hurried towards the hatch in the side of Gaz's ship.

As soon as he got inside, he stomped the snow off of his boots, and he took a quick look around the ship. Calling out, because he had no clue where to go, he yelled "Gaz? Which way from the door to the driving area?"

[Darth Revan]

Thordon was about to expand to Gaz about his vision that brought him to the bar, but Cpl Cutter came aboard. Thordon then realized he had not actually yet met the young man. He approached him and extended his right arm (He only has two arms right now) in greeting, "I'm sorry, in all of the excitement of visiting a new world, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Thordon."

[Hunter]

Seeing a guy walk up to John and introduce himself as Thordon, John said to him "Hey, I'm John. Would you be able to guide me to Gaz? I'm the new recruit"  he said with a grin plastered on his face.

Taking his Tommy gun and making sure that the safety was on, he took the sling and he placed it over his shoulder, so both his hands were free. Noticing that Thordon had offered a hand shake, John gladly took it in a firm grip and shook it like a man.

[Darth Revan]

Thordon noted the soldier's firm grip and widened his smile. "Gaz is right here, her chair hides her well. So out of place and time? I am out of place as well. I'm not sure about Time though."

[Hunter]

"Yes, well, I hope I fit in here." Walking over to Gaz, John said "Well Gaz? I'm here, and ready for whatever you need me to do"

[Gaz]

Gaz stood up from her chair and said, "Welcome aboard The Vagabond. Later I can give you the grand tour. Bridge will have to do for now. To the right there is weapons, though if needed a couple of the mounted guns have manual options. Navigation is over there to the left. If necessary though, everything can be controlled from the main console where I sit. Go ahead and pick a seat."

She hit the comm button and said, "Fletcher? Things all right down there?"

"Ready to return to the black," Fletcher's voice replied.

"Let's hit atmo then!" Gaz said as she slid back in her seat. "Sit anywhere, Cutter."

"Get ready to take off!"

[Myitt]

"No problem, Cutter," says Myitt, smiling.  "Good luck."  She watches him leave and then seals the hatch again, the black living metal of the hull melting closed against the bitter cold. 

"Everyone buckled in?  Yeah?  Good, because we're getting off this rock," Myitt says, piloting the ship up off the roof.  There's a faint whir as the leglike landing gears retract into the bottom of the ship, and then the main engines glow red.

Myitt hails the Vagabond.  "Gaz, we're leaving, but if you need to contact any of us you have my secure link signal," she says.  "Maybe our paths will cross again, huh?  If nowhere else, there's always that blasted bar."  She giggles to herself and maneuvers the ship higher through the atmosphere, leaving North America far behind.

((XD Sorry. Let's just say they're having an improbable long-distance conversation. Mar probably does that when he knows he can. x3 ))
