Tales of a rogue assassin - Chrono - 01-18-2013

** The "Suicide Angel", a Liberty Rogue VHF keeps watch over the 5th trade lane ring from the California to Magellan jump gate, holding at 9.80K from it behind a small cluster of asteroids that hide the ship perfectly. The Tahoe Ice field was a favorite place for many Rogues to launch raids on unsuspecting traders and it was no different for this Rogue. Inside the cockpit, a woman sits patiently waiting while scanning the local secret unlawful channels for any Liberty government ship sightings. Then suddenly the heavily modified Navy class scanner cries out as her prey closes in on the ring, she glances at the readout over the plate comp then tosses it to the side, as she quickly swings her feet off the dash, swiftly and silently presses the button sequence that initiates the ships power, life support functions, weapons, other primary functions, and ships engine. The large fighter gently slides to the left as she throws it to full, speeds through and around the various moving rocks as they collide with one another, before sending 2 blasts at the ring. It immediately shorts out as a large Bison quickly decelerates from the lane just shy of the ring, The large transport swings wide to the left to avoid hitting the large ring then stops dead as the dwarfed craft sits just 100 meters from its nose, she smirks as she opens comms to the ship that she knows all to well **
Siren: Nice to see you again Cob, i see you still haven't learned to hire an escort, do you enjoy getting kicked around or are you an your boys just that good at piloting that beast?
** The older gentleman sighs heavily as he turns to look at the screen with a weak smile on his face **
Jim Cob: You know me Ms. Stone, i'm stubborn.... and don't much care for hotshot pilots.
** She smiles with an obvious evil undertone, a smile most know her for. **
Siren: And because your such a stubborn old fart, you refuse to change your flight plan even though you know that every Tuesday you get jacked for 40,000 credits worth of cargo from the same Rogue... you and ya boys got a crush on me or something??
** Her smile gets a bit perverted at this point **
** Cob blushes slightly as she asks this then he laughs a bit **
Jim Cob: Yeah, that's exactly it, i let an evil rogue jack my cargo every week and don't fight back or call for help all because she happens to be hot, you hit it on the head Ms. Stone..... right. I only let you take my cargo because you have other rouges looking out for me an my crew when were in yalls territory. Them Xeno Alliance bastards love to pop ships like mine and its because of your "Protection" that i let you take the booze.... so don't get a big head or anything...
** He starts to sweat a bit as he lies through his teeth to try and keep her from getting mad **
** She smirks at his excuse knowing full well that he lets her take it because of the heavy population of rouges in the California system, and that backup would only ever be 3 minutes away **
Siren: So ya haulin the same as always Cob??
** He simply nods **
Siren: Ok then, just like the last 49 times, drop 200 bottles of Gallic Wine, 220 Bottles of Rum, and 80 bottles of Rice Wine. Once its in my hold you can be on your way, though id keep away from the Colorado gate for a bit, the Xenos are scrapping any ship that goes near it up there.
** Cob smiles a bit **
Jim Cob: Giving an enemy help... won't that get you shot in the Rogues??
** She smirks again **
Siren: Xeno's are everyones enemy, and my enemies enemy is a friend of mine, and in this case, you're that friend.....
** A loud beep is heard then siren looks down then back to the screen and smiles **
Siren: And that's all my cargo, nice doin business with ya Cob, now get outta here before you get yourself shot.
** Cob smiles as he makes a ring motion with his hand in the air then someone off screen yells, "Full throttle, Aye captain" before the transmission cuts out. The large transport moves forward swinging up and above Sirens completely under powered fighter then straight into the ring as it quickly engages and the lane takes it on its way. **
** Siren smiles as her 50th successful pirating of the same ship at the exact same spot pays off yet again, then she throws the craft into full as she speeds off to the Rogue base where she would put the newly acquired alcohol to good use in the bar she tends **
Siren:You'd think he'd have figured out that he could easily take me by now.... oh well, less repair cost for me.
** Suddenly her small craft starts shaking wildly before a loud explosion rattles the whole ship as flames erupt from the crafts port side intake **
Siren: FRAK!??!!?!?

RE: Tales of a rogue assassin - Chrono - 01-18-2013
** Suddenly her small craft starts shaking wildly before a loud explosion rattles the whole ship as flames erupt from the crafts Portside intake **
Siren: FRAK?!?!?!?
** The small craft slows to a crawl then stops completely just at the edge of the Tahoe Ice Cloud, a place she knows is a right in the patrol path of a Navy Cruiser. She frantically checks the readouts then runs a few diagnostics as the fire rages just outside the ship, finally she finds that the port side main intake has a foreign object jamming it closed, she smacks the console and looks out the window at the fire, then turns and kills the ships systems, life support and all. She does a quick forced decompression of the ship's interior before climbing out of her seat and over to the hatch. She opens it as a tiny rush of remaining air is quickly sucked into the vacuum of space pulling some of her hair towards the opening as it does, She smiles as her hair floats around her bare face **
Siren: I love this, this is something humans can only experience through thick suits, they don't get to feel the tiny particles dance on their skin in the cold... oh well, it pays being a machine sometimes...here we go.
** She grabs the tiny rail on the side of the ship as she pulls herself out of the doorway, then twists herself up and on top as her feet hit the hull with a magnetic pull. She slowly makes her way over to the port side wing then releases the magnets as she flips herself over right next to the still roaring fusion fire, she grimaces*
Siren: This is GOING to hurt....GGEAHH!?!?!
** She sticks her left arm straight into the fire as the white hot flames dance around it, she screams out in silence, she knows she made a noise but in the vacuum, nothing is heard. She reaches around in the large intake as her skin sizzles then melts away into nothing from her arm revealing her metal frame. She feels around trying to find the cause of the jam before she hits a piece of metal that's not supposed to be there. She smiles as she grabs and pulls with barely 30 percent of her strength as the large piece of scrap comes sliding out causeing the fire to die out immediately as the intake opens full. **
Siren: Now that wasn't to bad, though my arms gunna be stinging for a while.. the hell.. well whaddaya know, even the LSF's trash messes with me.
** The piece of scrap has an almost completely burnt off LSF symbol on it **
Siren: I think ill hold on to you.
** She then swings herself back up on to the hull and makes her way back to the cockpit, enters and seals the door behind her. She repressurise's the ship and runs a quick systems check before starting the engines and cruising straight for Alcatraz. As she approaches the docks, the familiar voice of the Dock Master comes over the comms. **
Dock Master: 071- Suicide Angel, you are clear for Dock Six, how'd the hunt go Siren?
** She looks at the old gentleman with a missing eye on the screen with a kind smile. **
Siren: Pretty good, the only fire i had to deal with was the one in my port engine.
** The old man gets a concerned look on his face. **
Dock Master: You come under fire from a navy or somethin??
** She laughs out a bit at the thought of the navy shooting at her gives her a cold chill down her spine. **
Siren: Haah... ggeah.... Nope, just a piece of scrap that got lodged in my port intake, everything else went smooth, though i'm going to have to get Zack to repair the skin that got burnt off my left arm.. Ok, i'm in, thanks for the authorization, why don't you swing by the bar after your shift for a change??
** He smiles. **
Dock Master: Don't touch the stuff, you don't get to be my age by getting drunk every night, have a good one Siren.
** The transmission cuts out as Sirens ship slides into the small craft dock, the blast doors close behind it and a rush of air fills the room, then two dock slaves walk out as she climbs down from the ship and opens her hold. **
Siren: Hey you guys, be careful with those crates and i'll sneak yall some drinks when you go off duty, k??
** The two Slaves smile and nod, then for once happily start unloading her pilfered cargo. The only time they have fun at their job is when Sirens the one giving the orders. **
** Siren kneels down and stacks a crate on top of another before noticing that Cob Threw in a few refrigerated crates marked "Perishable Meats", she smiles. **
Siren: That old fart...
** She stacks one of the crates of meat on the top then she lifts all three with little effort and makes her way to the bar where she spends most of her time serving drinks and keeping people from killing each other. **

RE: Tales of a rogue assassin - Chrono - 01-24-2013
** Siren walks into the Bar that shes been tending for over a year now and smiles as she sees all the regulars. She sets the stack of crates on the counter and smiles. **
Siren: WHO MISSED ME???
** She yells in a playful manor. She gets the usual responses as well as the local moonshine makers grouchy, "QUIET DAMN YOU" which she ignores. **
Jason: Did you bring any steaks?
** Asks one of the new station regulars whom she has yet to figure out if she likes or not. She playfully frowns at this as she steps in front of the crates. **
Siren: I thought humans didn't have x-ray vision???
** She listens to the usual bar chater as she starts putting the steaks in the little freezer and the new haul of alcohol on the back of the bar. **
Amy: Hey Siren, may I get a glass if you don't mind.
** She pulls out a glass, puts her hand on top of it as her eyes phase out for a second, then the glass disappears and reappears right in front of Amy **
Siren: Anything else? And no i can serve drinks like that.
** Amy Shakes her head and continues her conversation with the little girl that she never seen in the bar before while at the same time trying to ignore Jason's pestering of the little girl. Amy starts getting upset at it as well as Siren getting annoyed at him trying to butt into the girls business so she purposely knocks the now empty cold storage crate to the floor resulting in a rather large crash noise. This causes the little girl to flinch which Siren feels bad about before griping at Jason. **
Siren: Jason, i have a free drink over here for you if you'll give those 2 some space....... its starting to piss the android with the large gun in her back off a bit.
Jason: Well that's mean, and fine, I'll gladly have a drink Siren. Afterwards if you need me, i'll be working on my Spatial in the hanger.
** She roles her eyes as the specs for a Spatial run through her mind as she giggles at the stock engine output. She pulls a glass from the stack with her skinless hand and sets it in front of him **
Jason: What can i get?
Siren: Whatever you want, you can have it, but just this once. I'm sure its obvious to you and Jackson, but i don't care for you two much, but seeing as how this is my job and how Zack likes me nice, id suggest you not piss me off... K hun?? so ill continue serving you guys drinks and being all nice, but that's it.
Jason: You know, I personally don't care if you have bad blood between you and Jackson, but don't take it out on me. Hell what did I do?
** She smirks, picks up the glass, and starts filling it. **
Siren: Well to start off with, you held a knife to my best friends throat, then i did what was natural and shot you in the head, though i didn't realize the damn thing jammed till after i thought you were dead.
Jason: Yeah, so? What was I supposed to do when you were trying to kill MY best friend???
** She stumbles a bit as him saying this, looks at him slightly, looks away, down at the floor, then back to him. **
Siren: Well... to be honest you guys entrance was a bit.... ya know..... Militaristic and very much like what Navy commandos do when they invade a base..... get my meaning??
Jason: Well I was thinking of adding some corsair stuff into the mix for the entrance but Jackson stopped me. It was the only way to see what you all actually think of my friend too.
** This conversation continues for the next 20 minutes with it changing subjects to his friend Jackson's bringing man eating animals in the bar as pets to her and her boyfriend now owning the bar, eventually the conversation ended. She was in the middle of wiping down the counter when the little girl left the bar then to her furious astonishment, Jackson, the guy she really hates runs out after the child and drags her back into the bar as she fights his grasp. She silently pulls her right sword from its scabbard and lays it on the counter while holding it just in case the brain blown decided to do something bad, then luckily there was a commotion in the docking bay that caused both Jason and Jackson to go running out. before they did there was a mention of the girl being being with a Liberty Navy guy which caused Siren to get a bit interested in the girl. She calls out to her. **
Siren: You know a Liberty Navy guy? you mind comin up hear an sittin for a talk little one???
** The little girl looks at her fear **
Pita: ....A talk about what?
Siren: The navy.
** She answers with a look of care, worry, and slight agitation. The girl looks at Amy the woman shed been speaking with the whole time since Siren returned then slowly moves to the counter and sits down in obvious fear. **
Amy: Would you mind if i looked after you for a bit.. i don't trust Johnson.
** Siren smirks at her getting his name wrong for the 13th time. **
Siren: Honey, do you have a name... or do you not want people to know??
Pita: Its ok.......... My names Pita.
** Siren sees that The little one is uncomfortable then looks down at the sword and makes an 'Oh whoops' face, then giggles slightly, picks the sword up and slides it back into its sheath, securing it with the small latch on the end **
Siren: So whose the Navy guy those brain blowns say you were with?
Pita: The navy? They are good, He's good..... They saved me from Ruby.
** Siren grimaces at the mention of the navy being good as she remembers her last moments with them aboard the transport that was taking her to the "Field Test" that was actually to be the end of her short life. Then she thinks about the name Ruby as she tries to remember why it rang a bell before shrugging it off. She watches Pita flinch as Amy puts her hand on her shoulder. **
Amy: I know, 'Some' of them are good guys, is the one who's talking care of you now, isn't his name James?
Pita: Yeah... Ruby was, she, uh...
** She shakes her head **
Pita He shot her before she shot me..... And he let Buster go.
** Amy smiles and rubs Pita's head. **
Amy: I see, he was my captor when he was trying to get you back, it was voluntary don't worry. He was looking for you and asked me if I could be a prisoner, Don't get me wrong he said that noting would happen and I loved it, i got better treatment from him than from any of the Rogues her, but I heard his story, He really missed you.
** Pita nods and looks down at the counter **
Pita: He doesn't know I'm here.... I found this.... And I wanted to see Buster....
** Sirens watches as she puts a note on the counter. **
Pita: He doesn't know I'm here.... I found this.... And I wanted to see Buster....
** Siren sees the note, reads it in about 3 seconds, and smiles as Amy tears up **
Amy: That big hearted *** hole.
Siren: He was always bossing me around.... ain't he with Thing now?
** Pita frowns **
Pita: Thing??
Amy: Yeah, it's a good friend that Buster has been dating, I'm sure that's where the're at now, off on a date.
** Siren sees Amy look at her with a 'Don't say that' expression. Pita asked if they'ed be back soon which Amy promptly changed the subject because of. Amy asked Pita if she was hungry which she caught onto right away **
Siren: just got some steaks in... or rather, stole.... want some? I have a special way of cooking them.
** Pita shakes her head refusing her offer and looks at the table which makes her a bit sad **
Pita: Ruby use to put stuff in my drink, and sometimes the food.... She said it would help with the monsters, but it just made me sick....
Siren: You scared of monsters honey???
** Siren starts to imagine monsters in her mind and smiles at how fake they are then one passes her thoughts and she shivers at it as for this monster was very much real. She mumbles to herself **
Siren: Nomads...
** Pita hears this and nods **
Pita: I'm not meant to talk about it....
** Siren continues to look at the floor, slightly afraid to move as she tries to remember what to do in this situation, then she slowly looks up at the two as she hesitantly moves her right hand closer to her right sword. **
Siren: so... umm... you.... have the dreams... then i take it???
** She then sees Amy's unusual smile and stops moving her hand as Amy nods at her. she looks at Amy at a loss as to what to do, she was never programmed for this type of confrontation. **
Siren: So... umm... you've encountered..... nomads.... before and umm.... now you have nightmares.... about their ferociousness... I take it??
** Siren then remembers that Nomads can't communicate with her given that she's an AI and has no way of discerning an infected from a normal human, she starts to giggle and calms down. Pita just keeps looking at the table quietly. **
Siren: My god I'm an idiot, and hear I thought... no.... never mind.... anyway, honey.. Just so you know, I'm a nice android and I wont be putting anything in anyone's food or drink, I can promise you that. If you ever want to try, ill let you watch everything I do to the very end, then, if you want, you can eat something or have a drink.... But no alcohol.
** She says this last bit with a playfully stern attitude as she watches Pita think about her proposal **
Pita: Actually.... Can I get something to eat..... please?
Siren: yes you can, what would you like?
Pita: Nothing too much, but I think I need to eat something...
** Amy playfully tells her to 'make the most bestest steaks which she promptly starts up the grill with a smile. **
Siren: You ever heard of gun powder grilling?
** She starts looking through the cabinets before pulling a box of shotgun shells out and proceeds to pull the ends off and sprinkle the powder on the steaks. **
Siren: k its bout to get a bit loud in hear... Amy, you want yours Napalmed or nuked???
** Amy replies, "Nuked ' as Pita watches in wonder befor Siren flips the steak over resulting in a huge plume of flames that completely engulfs Sirens entire upper body before dying down. as the smoke clears, it reveals Siren to be in a slight daze. **
Siren: That... was a bit more than nuked...
Amy: That was nova'd.
** Siren continues cooking the steaks then sets them in front of the two before looking at the clock with a frown. **
Siren: Crap... i'll be back in a bit, why don't you two take those to Amy's ship and bring the plates back when your done, ok??
** She then leaves and heads to the repair hanger and is promptly told that her ship will need some major repair work due to the piece of scrap that got loged in the intake as well as the whole engine having moisture damage in it that will need to be flushed out. she gets a bit upset at this and decides to head to her quarters and take a nap. As she reaches her room she rubs her bare metal arm as she smiles at the fact that she can feel something touching it even without the polymer skin. She proceeds to flop down on her bed and drift off into a dream like state. **

RE: Tales of a rogue assassin - Chrono - 02-06-2013
** Siren wakes with a loud scream as she swings her arms in the air at a person that’s not there, her body is covered with sweat as she shivers uncontrollably, she tries to move but finds that her legs are tangled in scraps of what used to be her bed sheets and is forced to rip them even more so that she can free herself. She looks around the dark room trying to see if they were there, the men that used to do those awful things to her as the images still lingered in her vision, she sees a man in a white lab coat reaching for her as she quickly grabs her sword from the bedside table and slashes through the foggy figure to no avail. The frightened woman curls up into a ball on her bed with her sword humming gently next to her head as she mumbles to herself over and over again. **
Siren: I’m on Traz, not in Virginia. I’m on Traz, not in Virginia. I’m on Traz, not in Virginia….
** She continues to repeat this to herself for around 5 minutes before the images finally disappear from her sight, and as she slowly sits up on the bed. She sits there with her head in her hands as her bare body glows gently in the darkness, her tears run down her face as she cries softly, then at one point she notices the bar code on the palm of her skinless hand and starts to cry even harder. Siren just sits there thinking of all the things she went through since her activation 4 years ago and the hardships shed gone through to get free of the Navy before her tears stop and she manages to pull herself together as she feels that she is safe once again. She rubs her bare chest out of discomfort and feels the oil that’s meant to be her sweat and makes a face. She stands and heads to take a shower, during which the water can be seen glowing a soft blue from the blurry glass door. She steps out and dries off then gets a blood red sleeveless leather shirt from her closet and has a bit of difficulty getting the tight shirt to fit right, then she pulls on a pair of specially made black leather pants, returns to her bed and lies on it with her right arm over her head. She thinks to herself how grateful she is that Zack hadn’t seen her during her nightmare or when she had awoken, and starts to giggle at the fact that she can dream in the first place. **
Siren: I wonder if humans will ever change...
** She then looks over at the holographic panel next to her bed and presses the recent ship departures button only to suddenly get upset at seeing that the ship Pita owns had suddenly left. She swings her legs over the edge of the bed stands up and starts to put together her communication setup that she had tirelessly built so that her transmissions wouldn’t be discovered by the Liberty Navy. Once it’s set up, she activates and sends out a call to Pitas ship that is quickly received and answered. **
//The following links are the resulting transmissions.
Transmissions between Siren and Pita
Transmissions between Siren and Thing
//You have to go back and forth between the two threads to get the full result of the interaction.
** After the transmission ends, Siren cranks up the Navy maps she’d stolen 6 months ago from a supposedly secure Navy net transmission that had an up to date read out of every base, field, and solar object they had managed to map as well as a few systems that shed added from other sources so as to start mapping out the courses shed be likely to take while trying to track Pita down. She continues working on this for the next few hours without stopping. **
