"Rask got wounded, but otherwise it went alright. Wish we hadn't got into that situation in the first place." she said, before seeing János walk up. "We won." she said simply to answer János.
[B]....[/B]
Valkyrie tilted her head and looked at Owen. "Stay in this line of work, and you will."
János laughed. "I know that already. Followed the race online," he told the two.
"I wanted details."
Owen thought for a second, "Not sure what I'm going to do now, it ain't going to be racing, though"

"I'm sorry to hear about Rask. Maybe that nice bonus check will cheer him up a bit, eh?" Bucky says, just as Janos walks up. Bucky looks over her shoulder at Janos and smiles at him. "The race went alright. Pit crew and me were on top of things."
Rask, who had been busy concentrating on a tablet during the previous discussions, looked up to Yuga. "Cap'n, when Jag is finished with his explanation, Boss has tasked me with debriefing the crew."
---
A private message appeared on Maddox's communicator: "Please report to my personal quarters- Terika"
"Say Owen, it was your uncle we tried to prevent from winning, right? How's he taking the fact his nephew won over him?"
"Not sure, sent him a message to call me, he hasn't done that yet..."
((Johannes van Ice-Dick when))
((We'll have the ship stop somewhere after the debriefing. Your character will be introduced there.))

"Well then, in any case you ought to let him know that there were no hard feelings about any of this."
"That's good. I didn't know what was going on, since they rounded me, Mad, and Alex up. I'm sure you caught Mad shooting the android on live TV." said Taylor, glancing between Bucky and János. She then looked around the bar area for Ahaz. Where the hell was he?
[B]....[/B]
"Eh, he'll get over it...if he isn't dead." remarked Valkyrie, looking up towards the ceiling. He might have got caught in that shit after the race. If he did, terrible luck on his part. She put her feet back down on the floor, then stood. "I'll be back in a sec." she said, before strolling off towards her room.
Frosty was about to open his mouth and tell Valkyrie that was an inappropriate thing to say, especially this was close family to one of the crew members, but decided it wasn't his place to do so. Instead he remained quiet.
He turned to look at Owen to see if he had anything to say to what she just said.
The large hologram in font of them begun to flicker, changing it's shape to be that of screen.
It was in the perspective of an Intergalactica broadcast.
The screen shown them both the resulting chaos gathering around the stadium on the Prospera surface.
[quote]"I-I repeat.-" The reporter standing was notability uneasy, screams and gunfire could be heard even behind the police barrier.
The young man closed his eyes for spit moment before continuing, taking an deep breath in and out. "From what the surviving Asset Protection officials have-."
Stopping his words as camera shifts violently, another police van nearly ran the news crew. The sounds of a dozen armed riot guards busting out drowned out their cures.
"Th-They have told us that both interstellar terrorists Yanim Terika and Jag Perditus along with an number of unidentified accomplices we're involved in both the assassination of Mr. Briggs and several other individuals during the Race." He said while the profiles of both Yanim and Jag appealed on screen, the footage then froze.[/quote]
Jag then walked over to the Holo projector, standing next to it's profile picture. It Implant letting out an low hiss.
It's own profile enlarged, showing Yuga the countless titles it has received. Along with the many warrants and crimes that have been put onto it's name.
It all ranged from both the Elysium Combine to Sol, the Kanad Collective to even the Sanghvi Mantle itself.
"Is there any more you wish to know Captain?" Jag said bluntly, standing in font of Yuga.
Owen responded to the now empty seat, "I'm sure he got out fine. Just waiting for him to call. I imagine he'd have some words for me though, considering I gave him a bumper in turn 2"
"No, I didn't catch any of that. You waiting for someone, Taylor?" Bucky asks, turning her attention back toward Taylor, then scanning the room again. She watches Valkyrie leave, and then glances at Hariim. She finally decides to relax, and leans against the bar.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hariim finishes his gin and sets his empty glass on the table. He stands up and makes for the bridge at a slow-yet-steady pace.
[QUOTE]"No, I didn't catch any of that. You waiting for someone, Taylor?"[/QUOTE]
"Well, I'm waiting on Yanim to call for me. Other than that, just wondering where our resident bartender is." she said, looking around before returning her gaze to Bucky. If he didn't show up, she was just gonna grab the vodka and start drinking. She didn't even notice Valkyrie's departure from the mess hall.
[B]....[/B]
Minutes later, Valkyrie returned with a bag. Inside, her tattooing utensils. She shifted through them, making sure everything was there.
"Oh, alright. Y'know.... Hariim seemed to have no problem getting his drink." Bucky remarks as she quietly excuses herself, slipping over to Valkyrie with a curious look on her face.
"Inking up, Valk?" She asks. Her quick, intelligent eyes regard the mercenary inquisitively. A little grin lifts the corners of her mouth slightly.
[QUOTE]"Inking up, Valk?"[/QUOTE]
Valkyrie looks up, and smirks. "Nah, not this time. Just setting everything up in case others want one." she said, looking back down at the tattoo gun in her hand. She used the traditional method of tattooing, the gun in her hand fitted with a single, long needle. Modern tattoo devices had multiple needles, and smart technology adjusting the pigment in the skin to match the image that the recipient wanted. Modern methods were fast, usually taking about ten minutes. Her method ranged from ten minutes to multiple hours, depending on the size of the tattoo. Her method also tended to be more painful, while modern methods were near painless.
[B]....[/B]
Taylor thought about it for a moment, before getting up and going behind the bar. She grabbed a bottle of vodka, unscrewed the cap, and took a drink before returning to her seat.
Bucky takes a seat across from Valkyrie and crosses her legs. "Think you can tattoo Smart Matter skin? I can usually just display any design I want on my skin, but color me curious." She asks, adjusting her glasses and regarding Valkyrie with a raised eyebrow. "I was thinking something on my shoulder might be cool..."
Valkyrie looked up at her. "I could try, I guess. Dunno if it would work or not." she responded. "Like I told Alex and Amy, first tat is free. Figure out what you'd like to have, and I'll get to work on it."
"Alright. How about 'WORKHORSE' on the rear right shoulder. Simple block lettering, about 14 point font. Can you do that for me?~" Bucky sits up a little and pulls the zipper of her hoodie down. She's got on a basic white tank top on underneath. "I think it fits pretty good, seeing as I do a lot of the technical work and button pressing around this crate."
Valkyrie pulled a pair of purple latex gloves from the bag, slipping them on before picking the tattoo gun back up. She scooted closer towards Bucky, pulling the bag with her. She slipped her holo-tablet out of her pocket, setting it nearby on the table and flipping on some music.

"Alright. Do you want it in black or another color?" asked Valkyrie, as she reached into her bag for the ink cartridges.
"Maroon please. What's it usually like tattooing a fleshy?" Bucky inquires, slipping off her hoodie and folding it in her lap. She turns around so her back faces Valkyrie. The layout of Bucky's tank top gives Valkyrie plenty of room on the shoulders to work with. The android looks back at Valkyrie with a friendly smile. "I love your music by the way. Synth stuff is my [I]jam.[/I]​"

"Thanks. If you want, you can cycle through the songs. I just like to listen to music when I work on stuff. Keeps me focused." said Valkyrie, as she pulled out a maroon cartridge and attaching it to the tattoo gun. She secured it, then flipped it on. It buzzed to life, ready to go. "Well, usually the experience varies depending on the person I'm tattooing. You've got your normal folks, the cry babies, the drunks, the ones that can only do it passed out, the...adventurous ones...they're the fun ones besides the drunks." She readied herself, then pressed the needle to the synthetic flesh on Bucky's shoulder. "Don't move this shoulder too much until I finish, unless you want it to be [B]REALLY[/B] fucked up looking."
Alex returned to the mess hall after his sister told him to go away. He didn't mind it, if she was better than him in this situation, less things to worry about.
"I see you wasted no time in setting up shop."
Yuga inspected Jag's information and raised an eyebrow.
Intergalactic terrorist, pirate, smuggler? With this list and reward it might be more profitable to just turn him in.
No, she thought to herself, Jag had performed satisfactory thus far and turning him in was giving up a perfectly good asset.
Yuga was however worried that Jag's galactic wide [i]fame[/i] could give tve crew some unwanted attention in whatever quadrant they were in.
Yuga squint and nodded at Jag, "That will be all Mr.Perditus, you are dismissed."
She went to sit in the captains chair, taking over her hat and making herself comfortable before opening up the flight data again.
She looked towards Rask, "Very well. I hope Ms.Terika is satisfied with the operations outcome." she conveyed with neutral tone.
Bucky just giggles and holds uncannily still. Her SmartMatter skin takes the ink very well, and Bucky doesn't seem to be in any pain. "Guess I'm glad that I can only imitate being drunk then~"
Bucky lets Valk do her work, and asks about halfway through: "Hey, you wanna play some vidya later? I was gonna pop back over to my quarters at in about an hour or so..."
[QUOTE]"I see you wasted no time in setting up shop."[/QUOTE]
"Figured it'd be a great way to kill time." she responded, glancing up at Alex. "Oh, and I mentioned to your sister the idea of you two getting a tat together. Should probably talk to her about it sometime."
[QUOTE]"Hey, you wanna play some vidya later? I was gonna pop back over to my quarters at in about an hour or so..."[/QUOTE]
"Sure, I guess. I haven't played any games or anything a while, actually." she replied, tilting her head slightly as she finished the second 'O' in 'WORKHORSE'.
[gonna sleep now. Infab has control over Bucky.]
