Starpath: Scoundrels of the Interstellar Highway - Thread 2 - Games

[I]"I see. Though I feel the need to say I speak from experience and out of concern. Over 300 years of warfare have taught me that sparing anyone who has even the slightest potential to slip out of your hands and retaliate can prove very, [B]very[/B] disastrous."[/I] replied Moloch.

János was surprised to hear the Boss' voice, but he was even more surprised by her choice of words. He put his hand against the wall and used it to guide him himself out of the smoke cloud. "R-Resident traitor?! I'm sorry, but I've been in the interrogation room, getting info out of that Vulture we captured a while back. I have no clue what is going on."

"Then maybe I should be more concerned about you," Yanim responded. Rask walked over looking rather proud of himself. "The boy scout was spying on us for Sol," he explained. "The boss tried to cut him a deal to turn it around, so we could keep the SSOID off our tails, but he went an' fucked it all up. He's got no loyalty to any of us, and never did, keh."

"What?!" János yelled in surprise. He wasn't surprised because of Maddox's real nature, he'd already known that. He was surprised that he decided to reveal himself. "That's.... wow," he was left without words.

Moloch let out a grunt. [I]"For searching the cabin of Mr. Graves for any other potentially dangerous and hidden secrets he would use against us? He could have had a bomb hidden there to blow us up with to cover any loose ends! As for me, I see no issue with my presence. I joined this crew to watch over not only Mr. Frosty, but the others as well. From the moment I stepped on board the Muramasa, I knew well I was no longer among the company of my people, and I had to change my priorities and my loyalties because of that. That was something Maddox did not know, as his actions have proved."[/I]

Markus leaned through the bars and look towards Moloch with a frown on his face, "Yer forgettin the tiny important fact that nobody on this ship fuckin likes ya, cunt." he said with a low voice, "An if ya knew anythin so far ya'd know it's against bloody company policy to threatn the bosses special grease monkeys." He pressed his head against the hole in the bars and cut Yanim a look with a smirk on his face. "Aint that right, boss lady?" he said, referencing his earlier tumble with Bucky.

Moloch grabbed his hookah, took a big rip, and blew all the smoke into Markus' direction. [I]"Except this particular 'grease monkey' had intentions to pass on private information about ourselves to a tyrannical power..."[/I] Moloch moved his head closer to the bars, looking straight at Markus. [I]"... cunt."[/I]

Markus scoffed and leaned more comfortably, "I more offended by yer use o the insult than the insukt itself, mate." he replied with a snicker. "Maybe I could give ya lessons in 'ow to use it proper..." Markus pressed his face into the hole in the bars with a wide open smile and an almost goofy looking expression on his face. "...Cunt" he concluded before bursting into hearty laughter.

Maddox looked at Markus and Moloch and then back at Yanim and Rask. "Please tell me I don't have to stay in here for much longer?"

[I]"Then, allow me to try again."[/I] Moloch took a deep breath, preparing to deliver a level 5 FAT cunt. [I]"... [B]CUNT![/B]"[/I] he yelled.

Markus curled a smile smirk, "S a good start, mate. But it lacks direction an' purpose." He went away from the bars to relax on the bunk in the cell, "And until that 'appens it'll never be a proper Cunt." From his comfortable position on the bunk he spoke to Yanim, loud enough to hear out of the cell, but not enough to be provocative or aggresive, "Sounds to me like the boyscout's feelin the preassure o the bars, boss. Ya leave 'im in there an' 'e'll crack like a nut."

Rask fired two shots, one into Markus's cell, and the other into Moloch's cell, intentionally missing both of them as warning shots. "The next person who speaks up without permission gets one in the foot! You're in the brig, ya numskulls, this isn't schoolyard shit!" As Yanim was about to respond to Maddox's complaining, the help finally arrived. Calmly, they opened the cell door, with Rask prepared to put the human out of his misery, and Maddox was lifted onto, and subsequently zip-tied to, a gurney. Several of SULP employees had equipped themselves with TAC-85s and were now brandishing them at the weapon's designer. It was a bit ironic.

Markus curled halfway up against the wall when the shot entered his cell. He then turned around and looked at the bullet mark on the wall with a curled lip and raised eyebrows. There was a time and place for every kind of banter, but perhaps it'd be beneficial to his health to keep his mouth shut for a while.

Frosty, no longer content with being silent and paying more attention to the issues at hand and not Markus' and Moloch's cunt-off, decided to speak up. "... Am I allowed to speak? I mean, I have something I would like to ask."

After Valk decided she was satisfied with her doodling session, Bucky took a moment to assess her new decorations with a smile. "These are great! You're awesome at this, Valk!" Bucky looks back up at Valk, beaming at her in that usual jubilant way. "Hey, listen, I was gonna throw a party down in Engineering tomorrow. I've pretty much tuned up the engines to perfection, and thought I might as well celebrate. You wanna come? There's gonna be music, drinks, food, and all that good stuff."

[QUOTE]"Hey, listen, I was gonna throw a party down in Engineering tomorrow. I've pretty much tuned up the engines to perfection, and thought I might as well celebrate. You wanna come? There's gonna be music, drinks, food, and all that good stuff."[/QUOTE] "Uh...sure, I guess. Hope there's booze." she said, raising an eyebrow as she starts to put her equipment away in her bags. The tattoos turned out beautifully, and she can always just do that thing she does with her skin to clear 'em off if she wants. She looked back up to Bucky when she finished, and smirked a bit.

Bucky smirks back and gives Valkyrie a thumbs up. "I'll bring along a bottle of the best Gliese Whiskey I can find in the bar for you. Cool?"

[QUOTE] "I'll bring along a bottle of the best Gliese Whiskey I can find in the bar for you. Cool?"[/QUOTE] "Great. Well, I'm gonna put this stuff away, then go check out the damage Moloch and Frosty did to Mad's room." said Valk, standing and grabbing her bag. She headed for the door. "You can follow if you wanna, or relax in here." she stated, before stepping out. She headed to her room, dropping her stuff off, then headed to Maddox's room. The moment she opened the door, the smell of piss hit her. From where, she didn't know, but the place looked trashed. "[I]Fucking [B]good.[/B][/I]" she muttered, before shutting the door and heading down the hall.

Bucky replies that she'll be along in a moment, and she does indeed join Valkyrie just after she makes her remark on Maddox's room. She's pulled on her hoodie again, its neon pink coloration lights up nicely in contrast to the dark hallways. "Hey! Just took a moment to get some stuff checked. Dunno why I bother, this ship seems to run itself."

[QUOTE]"Hey! Just took a moment to get some stuff checked. Dunno why I bother, this ship seems to run itself."[/QUOTE] "Yep. A bit different compared to the Muramasa." she said, shoving her hands in her pockets as they walked through the Cataract and off the ship. Taylor was outside, looking around. "You two get my message?" said Taylor, when she looked over and saw them. "Huh? What me--oh. Yeah, but I didn't read it." responded Valk. She had felt her tablet vibrate when she was doing Bucky's tattoos, but didn't check it. Taylor rolled her eyes, then shifted her stance. "The ship's docked with the station. If you want, you can join me when we walk over." she said. Valk looked over, to see some of the workers of the carrier still near the entrance to the tunnel that linked the ship and station. "Eh, yeah. Sure." said Valk, shrugging a bit.

"Sure! I could use the chance to stock up for my party anyways.... By the way, captain. Do you mind if I throw a little celebration back in Engineering? I've got the engines tuned up [I]just right[/I], and I've got basically nothing to do for now. This baby is a lot easier-going than the Muramasa ever was."

Maddox studied his SULP guards. He looked at one of them and nodded towards the TAC in his hands. "Is the grip ergonomic enough? Good weight distribution?" ----- Iron poked Sting gently in the arm. "Look." He nodded towards the Aurikha and its docking tunnel. "If that ship ain't got enough room for two more and a truck then I'll be damned." He got up and dusted off his armor. "Let me do the talking."

Sting hoped up from her chair and ran up to Irons side and looked at him with confusion, "Hold on there, partner. I thought the plan was that I was the brains o' this operation."

Iron nodded. "Of course, but every brain needs a voice and muscle." He gestured towards himself. "Now let's go and say hello."

[QUOTE]"Sure! I could use the chance to stock up for my party anyways.... By the way, captain. Do you mind if I throw a little celebration back in Engineering? I've got the engines tuned up [I]just right[/I], and I've got basically nothing to do for now. This baby is a lot easier-going than the Muramasa ever was."[/QUOTE] Taylor shrugged. "Sure, I guess. Just try not to go overboard with it." she said. A party wouldn't harm anything, and they had worked Bucky like a dog back on the Muramasa. Taylor then motioned for them to follow as she walked over towards the tunnel linking the ship and station together. "It'll be nice to just wander around a bit after two weeks of flying around." A few moments later, they stepped out onto the station side of the tunnel, looking around. Taylor slipped on and adjusted her utility cap then looked around a bit, before turning back to Valk and Bucky. "You two can go stock up for your party. I'll just be looking around. Keep out of trouble." she said, looking directly at Valk as she said the last statement. Valkyrie simply flashed a grin, and walked off looking for the nearest store.

Iron was walking with Sting at his side towards the Aurikha tunnel entrance when he spotted a familiar face. He grinned underneath his mask. "Well lookie here, are my eyes betraying me or is it really the famous little [i]Maddie?[/i] You must be lost honey because this ain't Pyri."

[QUOTE]"Well lookie here, are my eyes betraying me or is it really the famous little [I]Maddie?[/I] You must be lost honey because this ain't Pyri."[/QUOTE] Taylor's head snapped around the moment she heard 'Maddie'. Only her mother called her that. She then spotted the source. A big guy, in black armor and a breathing mask, being tailed by an Aracaan...who was dressed similar to a cowboy? She recognized the armored individual rather quickly. "You must be too, because this ain't Domino Station, and you're not getting your ass handed to you by a woman [I]twice your age.[/I]" responded Taylor with one hell of a grin as she approached.

Iron chuckled and embraced Taylor with a massive bearhug. "It's been too long! What have you been up to these days?" Iron studied Taylor from the ground up. "I gotta say, surprised to see you still wearing those BDUs."

"Eh, yeah. Old habits die hard." said Taylor, looking down at her outfit. "As for what I've been doing, I'm freelance now. Roaming around, doing jobs here and there. Actually working for someone right now." she continues, pointing a thumb over her shoulder at the tunnel connecting to the Aurikha. "What about you? Taking in a bounty or something?" She looked around Iron, at the Aracaan in tow.

"Glad to hear you're not just sitting around somewhere." Iron then glanced at Sting. "This is Sting- my "colleague"- she's a navigator and a pilot." Iron leaned in towards Taylor. "Not to mention a heavy drinker with a bounty on her head." He chuckled. "Long story short; we partnered up." "Speaking of which, you don't happen to have seats for two more onboard that big boat of yours? We've been a bit stranded here after the security officers disabled Sting's ride due to safety concerns."
