Lady Mariella the Fair

[Alpha 429]

*chuckles to himself* (in thought) he is probably giving them that work and play crap i have to put up with. Well for him its all play no work so i always laugh when i get to interupthis fun. By now he has probably realised that i told him a load of rubbish and will be trying to regain his party mood. Oh well i have had my play time for the work.

Thank you mr. Hoodlum! Perfect cue!

What an excellent timing my Lady... you are a true Ethereal being! You whispered the right words.
Allow me to raise this glass in Your honor and crown a little piece of poetry with your name.

I have a little angel and a little devil sitting on each side of me.
None of them isnt what it seems to be

Dark thoughts in a wet morning
The feeling repeating in cycles
Smoke and thoughts mixing in the Rhythm
the mind wide open
people in green
Alpha through Omega
Letters passing in an endless array
of a train in perpetual motion
spelling "MARIELLA"

*bows to the Lady*

I salute You!

*Drinks up*

Sorry my Lady, this had to be a quick one, maybe not so good as the other, but allow me!

*Gathers a certain group of people, they all begin to slowly move to the exit, activates the comm badge*

Carlos, get her ready for immediate departure, prepare the cloaking device, be ready to leave as soon as our little party is aboard!

*the group imperceptibly exits one by one through the door while the others are not suspecting anything. Alpha and Dab are busy bashing at each other for a certain unnamed girl not noticing anything at all (I mean, they don't notice what's happening nor the girl notices them - bashing).
The Ampoliros undocks, engages cruise engines, after 6k from the dock, they engage the cloaking device, change course and dissapear in the direction of an unknown topic having a real nasty afterparty!*

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

I was hoping you would end the off-topic yourself, but you didn't. :dry:

She turnes her head and can't see enough of that beautiful ship.

"So this is the Ampoliros, your private Yacht..
It's a very nice one and it's a miracle for a lot of freelancers, I know..
What an honour to see it, now - with my own eyes..."

Again, she turns her head and surveys the young man next to her

"You really don't look like the dangerous outcast, you are known as..
Maybe it's the number of drinks, I had, but.."

Where have the people gone, suddenly.. they disappeared..
Do.. do we have another drink for me ?
My mouth became a bit dry..

Boardy ? Friend ? Mate ? Computer ? (an accustic answer from the ship)
You're not serious are you ?" she smiles to the man in front
"Computer, give me some music, please.. a walz.."

They start dancing and they draw the circles on the floor. She doensn't mention,
that Nightfall ordered three other dances, she was enjoying it too much.
Suddenly the music stops and his touch becomes a bit more strong.
Their glances meet and she is hypnotized by his eyes..

"No" she whispers, but she knows their lips will meet..
"No" but she was moving her head towards him..
Half opened lips and closed eyes..
10 cm, 5 cm, 3, 2, 1 cm..

The internal comm gets activated:
"Sir, we detected an anomaly on starboard. It is covered by twelve Titan-Corsair Ships, guided by an Osiris,
maybe the stolen one from the freeport in Omicron Delta"

He gets one step back, bows and gives her a kiss on the Hand.
"My Lady"
He turns and walks to the lift. Their looks meet, 'till the doors have closed completely.

She lowers her glace, smiling, gently biting her bottom lip..

Then she walks to the window, regarding the fleet..
A massive beam hits a Titan and it changes to a melting piece of steel..
She watches it passing by and looses herself in the thought of..

fire..
