Moving quietly, Shade Yuka entered the Majesty's Bar and Grill a planetary side Bar on New London. It wasn't a very popular bar, do to the fact they don't serve hard drinks. Nor was it an officers club.
Walking through the first set of doors he could hear thumping of a beat going. They where playing new age music, a short of..Techno and Rap mix. He smiled lightly and continued through the second set of doors, it got louder.
------
Austin looked over after have a third drink of water, watching a pilot with Bretonian and Kusarian facial accents walk in smiling. He sighed and muttered to himself "Strange place this galaxy has become." He sat down the glass and spun around in the stool, looking at the people dancing. Something else caught his eye, a young man wearing a re-breather, an Outcast, a rather Young Outcast, leaning on the wall to the left, the Halfbreed walked around past the Outcast. He shook his head again, Tonight might be a freak show. He thought letting his eyes wander some more.
------
Shepherd was leaning against the wall. This was his first time back from Malta after a few weeks. He took a deep breath and inhaled the sweet orange dream. His senses heightened, and he took a quick glance at both the Halfbreed and the guy sitting in the stool. Upon collecting his thoughts rather quickly he concluded one was a Freelancer, and the other was an Armed Forces Officer. He also concluded that the Armed Forces pilot was wondering what an Outcast was doing in a bar. Shepherd only smiled and let his eyes drift out onto the dance floor.
As if spaced out he could feel someone bumping into him, he came back to reality and brought up his clinched fist, slamming it into the person that bumped into him. It all happened slowly in his reality.
------
Shade moved past an Outcast and accidentally bumped into him. When suddenly a sharp pain entered near his stomach. He coughed and heard some people scream, then another pain hit him in the back, Shade hit the floor hard, the next thing he knew was someone driving their foot into his sides, and hearing a cracking sound.
------
Austin turned quickly enough to see the Outcast down the Halfbreed. He stood up then rushed past the crowd that was forming. Once he got through he saw the Outcast kicking the downed man, who was starting to cough up blood. Moving quickly to aide, he tackled the Outcast, then pinned him down to the ground, his knee on the Outcasts chest. He brought up his fist and landed one punch to the Outcasts throat, then took his hand and hit the Outcast in the temple, knocking him out.
Just as the Security Guards made it, Austin was kneeling down next to the Halfbreed checking for his pulse, he was alive, thankfully. As was the Outcast.
"What the hell happened here?!" A Guard Shouted. "Austin! What the hell have you done!?"
Austin looked up at the Guard, "I broke up the bloody fight, that's what I did."
"You also knocked out a bloody guy!"
"He's a bloody Outcast! No one cares about men of his type." Austin replied calming down.
"Bah. Put the Outcast in handcuffs and get that...man that's bleeding a Medic." The Guard said sighing lightly
The Next day
Incoming Message
Austin groaned and rolled over, slamming his hand down on the table. "Play..." he muttered aloud, not bothering to get out of bed.
Cannot play, Message is in text
He sighed "Bloody hell...if it's not important why'd you wake me up, you bloody computer."
I am not bloody at the time, Mr. Goodmen. But you do have a Message waiting.
"Right, right...smartass computer." He muttered sitting up and blinking a couple of times to clear his blurry vision. He stood up and walked over to the computer and sat down. "Open." He muttered watching as the message opened infront of him
Quote:Subject: Re: Re: Need Some Information.
--Begin Line--
Alright, seems the download took awhile and it seems It's been interrupted, that computer has also shut down randomly. I'll have to look into it further. Until then this is going to be the last message I send you. When I get any information I'll send it your way. Hopefully.
--End Line--
Austin shook his head and closed the message. "I'll reply to that later, am I on duty today?" He asked his computer, which replied.
Negative. However, you are expected to show up for a Briefing later today. It is urgent, as you've set it to priority one.
He mumbled lightly "How urgent is priority one?"
You've set it to the top of your list. I would consider that pretty urgent.
"You're also a computer. You see everything as urgent, unless I program it to be, not urgent."
I don't follow what you're trying to establish.
Austin sighed again, "Right. When and what time is the briefing?"
Twenty Minutes ago.
"Bloody hell, why didn't you wake me an hour ago?!" He said rushing over to the cabinet and pulling out his Armed Forces Uniform.
You told me to shut up. I was only doing as told.
"Right, well next bloody time, when it's urgent, priority one urgent, and I tell you to shut up...Keep annoying me eh!?" He shouted "Now where the bloody hell are my boots?"
You're boots would be near the door.
"Flight boots?"
Yes, those would be the correct ones.
"I would rather have the boots that go with my Dress Uniform, not my pilot suit."
Those would be in the bathroom.
He mumbled as he walked to the bathroom "Why the hell would they be in here?" He shook his head once he picked up both of the boots and slipped them on. Standing straight he looked at the Mirror, his hair was slightly messed up. But he didn't care. Smiling he stared at the reflection of the Carina Cross, the highest honor in the Armed Forces, that was only given out to two people. He was one of them.
You admire things to much.
Austin groaned and left the bathroom, "Yeah well if you where a Human you'd love a shiny object on your chest. So can it will you?"
You gave me the order to not 'can it'. So I shall not.
"Right, go...and do what you always do when I'm not here." He said muttering. Austin made his way to the door. After opening it and closing it, he made his way to the Space port, He decided it wasn't the best idea to take his personal ship. Instead he took a Transport bound for the Derby. Priority One, he called the vessel.
Upon entering he stood in the isle and stared. Everyone looked up from there random talking, one person stood and shouted "Officer on the deck!" and snapped a salute, everyone else soon followed. One of the flight attendant's leaned close to Austin and mumbled "They're as green as grass."
Austin whispered back. "I thought this was priority one."
"It is."
"Then...oh, I see. They want these chaps in the air."
"Aye."
"Alright, At ease, back to what you where doing." Austin said loudly, saluting and dropping his salute. The recruits returned back to their seat's and went back to what they where doing. Austin made his way to his normal seat, which wasn't occupied by anyone, but surrounded by a horde of recruits. He sat down and sighed lightly as a few recruits started talking about him. In a good way.
