Thread: Meanwhile on Rubi-Ka...

    Gathering the rest of her paperwork, the petite Opi prepares for the upcoming session.

    "Why do they call it paperwork anyway?... Old remnants..." she thought.

    She looks at her holopad, then at the grid access, then at her holopad again.

    "I hope I'm wrong..." she mutters to herself.

    "Make sure the kids drink plenty of water, okay? Don't let 'em loose on the juice. And no touching the cola cans! They know they're not allowed, but they'll still give it a shot from time to time."

    Grinning to herself, she enters the grid.

    "And I sure hope they'll give it a shot anyway... Hey, that's what resourceful kids would do."

    Leaning to the lamp at the wall next to Neuters'r'us Julia looks at the sky.
    She sighs and seems relieved.

    "Ya wouldnt mind, huh?"

    Gunfytr strides thru Newland, heading for the grid point. As he walks, he goes over the recent happenings in his mind. His cheek still tingled from the kiss. 'No', he thinks, 'I wouldnt mind another like that, at all'.

    Gun had stumbled across Ciy inside a Bar in Entertainment District. She was cornered by members of Omni Pol. Gun had come to her rescue, ((Yes, Ciy, it WAS a rescue. I have witnesses :P )), and after a short confrontation with DCI Hunt, got her out of the mess. Gun sighed. He hoped this wouldnt cause friction. His working relationship with Omni Pol was important. While not happy with it, Hunt had accepted his explanation that Gun was debriefing an Operative. Which WAS the truth, more or less.

    He and Ciy had exchanged apologies about the whole tracking chip/head smashing thing. He liked the rose, too. It was a nice touch. He and Ciy really had to work out this love/hate/love/hate/i'm gonna kill you/kiss me thing they had going. It was exhausting, and he didnt have energy to spare. Especily now that the assassination conspiricy nuts were at it again (or were they "nuts" after all?). With Jaeger off-world and safely at Pathfinder HQ, he was the only one aware of the intercepted transmission. He would have to wait and see.

    Validius:

    "With all due respect, sir..." replied DCI Hunt, trying not to lose his temper at the proposal.

    "...a microwave would be of more use to me than women detectives."

    The figure leaned forward and chuckled.

    "And why would that be... Mr Hunt?"

    "A woman is only half useful 25 days of each month, with the other 5 being a complete trainwreck. A microwave however follows orders, is easy to understand, and provides our men with timely food without being bitchy about it. My point stands, sir, that microwaves are far more useful to the department than women."

    The figure exhales, leaning back on his leather chair.

    "Mr Hunt... as that may be, we need to show the planet that your department runs with equality in mind. You wouldn't want to put your superiors in a bad light now, would you?"

    As much as Validius wanted to, this was one of the few people he couldn't answer back to.

    "..No, sir." Hunt replied through closed teeth.

    "Excellent," said the figure. "I will have two bright female officers transferred to your department by tomorrow."

    DCI Hunt turned to leave.

    "Oh, and Mr Hunt... Do try and control yourself."

    *Laughter* "No Rin Darling, not tonight. I have to check the situation in Green in like, five or something.. Actually, i should be there already!"
    ...

    "No you stupid girl, i am going to be busy tonight, okay?"
    ...

    Nichola laughs as she runs through Rome Red.

    "Now, i got to go. Take care, and you better remember to send that freaking report to Hunt! He will tear us apart if you screw that up!"
    ...

    "No!"

    She Taps her communication unit and stops after Rome Green's gate.

    "So, what is going on in here..."

    As he gets up from his desk and grabs his jacket ready to head out for a last patrol a secretary wanders in with a pad.

    "Sorry sir, have a message from Trans for you here, they want to know when we're going to pick up our shipment from their warehouse."

    Ivan stands there for a moment frowning,

    "What shipment?"

    "They say its some crates of new equipment, it's been sat in their warehouse for a while now and they really need the space."

    "That's arrived? Why did they not send me a message that it had! I've been waiting for that for months!"

    The secretary gives a polite cough and glances to the stacks of paperwork piled on the directors desk.

    "Very well, send a quartermaster over there to pick it up, I guess I'll have to contact the division now..."

    With a sigh he puts his jacket on and walks out, looks like he wont be going to Rompa's today either.

    In the DoI HQ...

    Rinnda sends the file and nods.

    "I guess it's nothing big that the report's one day late... Hunt is propably too busy to even notice little thing like that." She smiles.

    Nichola peeks in from the staffroom door. "Hey, you busy? I have something we need to--" She stops as she notices . "You just sent the report, did you?"

    Rin nods.

    "You dumbass! The report was supposed to be sent yesterday!! You stupid girl!" Nichola shouts as she steps into the room.

    "Im sure it's nothing big, Besides --" Nic starts the sentence.

    Nic lifts her right hand up with the index finger pointing at the ceiling. "Just.. stop, and send apology to Hunt. You know how strict He is about things like reports."

    Rinnda sighs and rolls her eyes. "You sure worship that man.."

    Nichola blushes and squeezes her lips together. "Y-you better do as i say!" She turns and leaves the room.

    Rin chuckles and starts to write apology. "Nic's the one too strict about reports.."

    Eeod looked at the remains of the General laying splattered near the CC tower.

    "..And that was in the name of science, you filthy greenskin!"

    The others stared at Eeod.

    Agrestus

    "Cheers!"
    Agrestus' close friends stand by him at Neuters, drinking to his success. For the first time in months, he smiled and joked again.

    But something still lingered in his mind... Something that he held dear, and something that had suddenly vanished from his grasp. Trying to pretend everything's jolly, that one word still pops up in his heart.

    Julia "Ciyanid" Gilliano, Neuters'r'Us

    After running out from the Backyard five in Newland Julia sprints straight to the bar.

    "I just knew it. Should've just shut up.."

    After saying "Congratulations" to Agrestus, she ran out as fast as she could.

    "He still hates me.."

    She hits her head to the bar counter pretty hard few times and sighs again.

    DC Nichola Kelly, DoI HQ

    Nic looks at the three computers before her. She walks to the first one and opens a coding program. She types something on it, and rushes to the third computer. Same thing again, She rushes to the middle computer, and again she opens the program and types something on it. Nic sighs and rubs her forehead.

    "SCRAP!?" She yells at her assistant droid.

    "Ye-s ma-am, how m-ay i be of as-sis-tan-ce?" The droid answers.

    "Come over here..." Nic opens a lid from the back of the droid's neck and plugs some wiring onto it. She types something again, and glares at the droid.

    "Find the problem for me, will you?" She snaps.

    The droid makes a buzzing sound and calculates something, making weird noises. Nichola waits at the bot, drumming her fingers to the table.

    "well? What did you find?" she snaps again at the droid.

    "No-hing, ma-am" The droid answers after a while, causing Nic's face to go red from anger. She scags the wires off the droid, runs to the first computer and hits her fist to the table. She takes a deep breath and glares at the assistant droid standing at the middle computer.

    "Get out of my sight, Scrap." She states coldly. She watches as the droid runs off to the staff room and takes a deep breath. "I have to work this out, now.. I need to..."

    Nichola stares at the screen and pulls her sleeves up.

    "Alright then, let's get to work ... SCRAP! HERE!

    Meanwhile in Rome Green...

    "Ma'am, i am going to have to ask you to leave. You are causing too much trouble to other customers in line..." DC Swift talks to a woman in the General store.
    Behind her, a man starts to shout to the trouble causer unnecessary things, causing Rin to take her eyes off the woman. As she turns back to face the woman, she finds a fist coming straight to her face, and tries to dodge it, but too late. The fist hits her face, throwing Rin on the ground. She shakes her head and looks up at the woman that just punched her, thinking "You are SO in trouble for that!" Rin jumps up and tackles the woman, and cuffs her up after fighting to get her to stay still. Rin tells the people to calm down, and everything's alright now, and takes the troublemaker out.
    After giving her to OP's care she heads back to the DoI HQ. In the staff room, she can hear Nichola raging to the computers, and chuckles.
    "Why were the Pol's boys laughing at me, i wonder.." Rin sits on the computer and gasps as she sees the reflection on the screen.
    "NO WAY...!" She gasps at the black eye she got when the woman hit her.

    - Ok. I'll better train on this. Josephine had studdied the report from the training.
    - My demon can be the criminal and the leet over there can be the food suplyer
    She called her Cacodemon.
    - Ok Demon. You have a burger that you didn't like from this leet and you are angry
    I am the officer that will try to deal with the situation in a non lethal manner. Ready?
    The demon grunted as a replly
    - And start. Remember not to kill..
    She couldent finnish before the demon had picked up the leet and had bitten the head of it.
    Josephine looked at the remains and sighted
    - Right! That didn't go as planned. Lets try again shall we? And this time alittle more careful aproach.
    Several leets later Josephine had to admidt that this wouldent work.
    - Guess I have to find another way..
    She looked around her
    - I'll better get rid of this mess before general McChristion sees it

    Headache

    First, there was a void. A vast nothingness, like in the beginning of existence. Then there was a flash of white, and pictures, memories of life, joys, disappointments began to fill the void.

    She awoke with a gasp to a sharp pulling sensation in the back of her head. As she regained vision, a smiling woman in white stood over her, shining a light to her eye. Her suit had an OT symbol on the left breast pocket and a name tag she could not read.
    "Very good, miss Ye, we are ready to begin the last phase of your psychological evaluation for Omni-Com employment."

  17. #577
    "So, how are you feeling, miss?"
    "Dizzy."
    "That is a common side effect of the exposure treatment. It will be gone before you notice. Now, if we could review your details once more.."
    "What for? Didn't you have them beforehand when I came in?"
    "Yes, yes, but this is just standard procedure. Your name?"
    Sigh. "Ione Ye."
    "Homeworld?"
    "Omni Prime."
    "Very good. State your education and year of graduation."
    "Advanced networking technology and administration, completed in 29480."
    "Family?"
    "Divorced parents, no siblings, no spouse."
    "Good. According to our exams, you are five foot one in height and weigh ninety-five pounds. Your physical condition is excellent, we urge you to maintain it with regular exercise when working seated."
    "Can I go already?"
    "We're almost done, Miss Ye. Just a friendly reminder that you should attend mandatory checkups and have regular maintenance performed on your rather.. extensive augmentations. Being a new resident to this planet, it is most advisable to not venture beyond Omni-Tek controlled areas, and very preferable that you avoid even Neutral territories, considering Rubi-Ka's unstable political situation."
    "I know."
    "Good. You may dress now. You will be escorted to your assigned duty at Omni-Com and introduced to your workspace. You may then have the rest of the day off for leisurely activities and familiarizing yourself with Omni-1. We at Omni-Reform bid you a fantastic day and hope you enjoy your employment on Rubi-Ka."

    The woman flashed a toothy, white smile.
    Ione pulled the leather jacket on. It felt strangely new for being her own, almost unused. She looked into the mirror of the dressing cabin, and a pair of hazel eyes and a freckled face stared back, with blonde hair in a shoulder-length tangly fluff as though she'd just gotten out of bed. There were interface ports at her temples. She knew exactly what they were for, but couldn't oddly remember ever using them.
    They said the strained feel was just a result of the Notum exposure treatment - that it was in such high concentrations in the air it'd cause symptoms of illness and anxiety to the unexposed. Ione could only believe them.
    There was an ID chip in the pocket of her jacket and an OT symbol on her shirt - part of her technician's work uniform.

    Someone knocked on the door. Ione straightened her hair out with her fingers and tied it back into a loose ponytail, leaving parted bangs at front, hurrying out of the dressing room, down the corridor and a turn to the right, and out of the facility, opening the doors to the busy street of Omni-1 HQ.

    He sat absently bouncing the ball off the bulkhead next to his pilot's chair. He had done this so many times, and had the trajectory of the ball so instinctively memorized, he didn't even need to follow the ball with his eyes, just snagging it out of mid air as it sailed back over his shoulder.

    "bonk"... "thud"... "bonk".... "thud"...."bonk"...

    ....

    The blue eyed blond twisted around in his chair just in time to dodge an empty bottle being flung at his head narrowly bypassing it before smashing on the bulkhead on the other side of his chair. The pieces make a slithering sound as they slid down the bulkhead in the light gravity they maintained at minimums during interstellar flights.

    He glanced back over his shoulder at the obviously hungover and infuriated young lady who worked as the ships engineer. He tried vainly to keep from laughing, knowing it would only infuriate her all the more.

    "In the name of all that is holy,... do you HAVE to bounce that thing off the bulkhead!?" She spits out as she dumps the ball down a disposal port.

    Both of them suddenly bite their lips.. as the sound of another voice bellows down the hallway from the sleeping quarters.

    "That is quite enough BOTH of you! Lord we need to get this long haul over and done with before you both start drivin' me more nuts than you already have!"

    Wingger almost holds his breath for a moment, till he realized the bellow from the hallway was not going to be followed by the Captain busting into the control room. Wingger took another look back over his shoulder at Eddie, before they both burst out laughing in spite of themselves. "yeah, I think the sooner this haul is over, the better for all of us. Besides your almost out of booze". As Eddie headed on out of the control room in a snort of disgust at the very though, Wingger turned back to his controls, and after a quick verification that nothing had changed, digs another ball out of his side pocket. After a moment of looking at the ball, he decides that valor is the better part of honor, at least this time, and shoves it back into his pocket. He settles back into his seat for another long shift of monitoring the readouts while they continued their flight.

    "Right thats it! Your out! No, dont even bother handing in your uniform! Just get out!
    Now, before we have you forcibly removed." Lasliana shouted furiously attempting to hold back her anger enough to stop her grabbing the large stone paperweight from her desk and launching it at the ex-new recruit.
    He was a nanomage of slight build with the notum glowing blue eyes like much of his kind.

    "But?" he managed to get out, looking confused, still standing in the middle of the office.

    "SOD OFF! I've got the proof here you have been stealing from the accounts! You have ten seconds to leave my office, not in a body bag!" Lasliana shouted leaning across her desk, one hand now gripping the stone paperweight.

    "Nine." Lasliana announced more calmly than she looked.

    "Eight."

    "How did you find out?" he blurts out, still standing infront of the desk.

    "Seven. Because we are not idiots here and actually give a damn it seem unlike you. Six." Lasliana retorted

    "Five."

    "Who actually investigated it?" He asks, seemingly unworried that he is fast approaching the end of the line.

    "Four. I did, as well as two other officers."

    "I don..." he manages to say before a shadow falls across him from behind. He turns to look up into face of the atrox standing behind him.
    Ursen looks back squinting with one eye, a tatto covering one side of his face a scar running across it.

    "Three, two one." Ursen says matter of factly.

    A moment later he grabs the front of the ex-recruits clothing and hoists him up into the air like a sack of potatoes. Turning he launches the unfortunate out through the door way.
    Theres a rather worrying crashing thud from across the hall way.
    Ursen walks out after the recently departed nanomage.
    Lasliana slumps back into her chair, realising that her other hand was pressed down on the intercom, during her countdown.

    Outside the door there was the sounds of a scuffle before a wheezy yelp rang out, followed by the distinctive receeding thump thump thump of Ursen walking along the corridor towards the main doors.

    "Next one im just going to kick, shoot and leave them." Lasliana say wearily leaning back and looking for the beer in the mini fridge hidden under her desk.

    "Yes Sir, i quit... No Sir, he can do whatever he wants to-"

    "No Sir, i said i have nothing to do with him anymore. Yes, we broke up"

    "Sorry to hear Sir, but i am not coming back. I am sure you can find a better one to replace me in the future"

    "Yes Sir ... Yes Sir ... No Sir, i am not having a dinner with you."

    "You too. Good luck!"

    Julia yawns and and tosses the comm.unit on the table.

    "Hello Rubi'Ka, im staying after all..."
