The Roads We Take

[devilbird]

Weech bumped into Tik-Tik in retaliation, but she just ignored him. She wasn't above the odd stray shot his way, but she didn't want to get into a full blown fight with the little drone. He may be a pain in the ass, but he was her pain in the ass. If anything else, he was an excellent scout, and has saved her life plenty of times. All the other crap he put her through was harmless compared to what would happen if she ever lost him. Of course, she still needed to get even for everything he pulled on the space station.

The bounty hunter couldn't decide if she was more amazed by the city or the fountain at the moment. She felt like a kid again as she watched the water. When she reached the bottom floor, she crossed one of the bridges and began looking for a map, or a city directory or something. If none were around, she would have to pull someone aside to ask how to find the nearest museum.

[ZeroParadox]

"Intercom still works properly. Just activate the nearest one and I should hear you.", Friday will suggest,"Unless you prefer a personal comm unit? I've got one around here somewhere...", he'll say as he starts rummaging through the various containers around the bridge.

Looking around you find a brightly lit map of the city on a wall near the exit of the spaceport. It shows where you are now and a few blocks away you see a local museum. Seems perfect a chance to get more info and see more of the wondrous city around you.

He hasn't noticed you chasing him yet, but he darts toward a corner of the lot where there is a hole in the wall. A good sprint could easily catch him though no telling if he will fight back once caught.

"I can work with the intercom was just curious" Katherina says as she makes her way to the back of the ship. A few minutes later she flips the intercom on "I'm gonna start working on valve tell me when you see it even out at the middle" the gauge moves all over the place. It seems like it might explode before it finally evens out at the middle.

You break down the wall and much to your surprise you find..a stockpile of military grade weapons. As you inspect the room you see a large vault door that appears to be unbroken. It seems that the thugs had tried to get through, but had no luck with entering. Now you were inside of their base with an arsenal of weapon and them none the wiser.

[That_One_Guy]

As the wall came tumbling down, the military grade arsenal caught him by surprise and awe. Seeing as how no one was coming down to investigate such a sound, it means no one heard him and gave him time to go through the weaponry to find better armour and weapons.

[TheUnknown]

Searching through the arsenal you find many high grade weapons. Rifles, assault rifles, pistols, grenades, and armor. A further search reveals some bars of elemental ore that have yet to be refined. They could sell for a decent amount or be forged into weapons mods later.

[devilbird]

She made her way through the city, often getting distracted by the sights and cool buildings, smells of strange new food, the occasional bum asking for change. It took her awhile to finally reach her destination. When she got to the museum she went inside and up to the information desk at the front. There Tik-Tik asked if she could see the head of the geology department.

[That_One_Guy]

Smirking, he took the armor that'll help him against the enemy gunfire, two pistols, and a assault rifle. He made note about the ores for later before opening the vault and entering the police station. He'll attempt to sneak up to the chief's office to kill the leaders, those he can't sneak past he'll have to take out as quietly as possible.

"The department heads are currently in a meeting. Though you are welcome to look around while you wait" the receptionist at the front desk cheerfully informs you. Another excuse to indulge yourself and this time you don't have to worry about cleaning yourself up afterwards.

The vault door opens and you find yourself at a narrow hallway. To the left is a staircase leading upwards. To the right is an elevator which seems to be in a slight state of disrepair. With some tinkering you could possibly restore it and simply go up to the top floor.

[ZeroParadox]

"Primary objective complete, chief engineer.", Friday says with mock seriousness, "Ready for next mission!"

[That_One_Guy]

Looking at the Elevator, he knew it'd be risky, but it's a risk he'd take. He entered the elevator and started to tinker with the panel, attempting to get it working. If anything, he can just ride on top of the elevator in case someone thought it strange that it was working again. Probably the safest thing to do.

[devilbird]

Tik-Tik took Zen by the arm and dragged her to some of the exhibits. She loved learning about the places she visited. For her it was part exploring. She probably would have liked being a treasure hunter more, but people were always easier to find. Plus, she got to treat it like a date with Zen. They may not be in a relationship like that, but it never hurt to have fun like they were. They could kill time and have fun while waiting for the person they were looking for, maybe even while learning something that may help them. It occurred to Tik-Tik that they could probably find the guy on their own, but it wouldn't do to seek help from a guy you pissed off. And it would make life harder for the receptionist, who seemed like a nice and friendly person.

Dragging Zen along you find a wide array of exhibits throughout the museum. Ancient creatures, old scrolls, mannequins with strange and outdated clothing/armor, fossils, gems, and rare paintings. An hour or so passes and you hear a group dismissing. Perhaps the department heads finished their meeting and you can get the info you need now.

"Alright the next job is very important. I need you, to tell me if the water pressure for your shower is good. Have some more tinkering to do with the wires in the bridge, but wanna know I got a nice shower waiting for me when I finish" she says

(16) Tinkering about you manage to adjust the wires and get the elevator working. It lights up and awaits an input to start up to the ground, second, or third floor.

[Lynxy]

It hardly mattered of he wanted to fight once she stopped him, she needed to stop him. She slowed for about 3 steps, and then fell into a full sprint, timing herself to catch up just as Karl reached the breach in the wall. As he was turning to see if he was being followed she attempted to tackle him through the opening so there would be less prying eyes for whatever came next.

[ZeroParadox]

Arching a brow at the request he responds, "Alright, sure. But I don't think your tinkering would have effected the water pressure." Before leaving the bridge Friday will make sure to lock the controls and computer, running a quick test to ensure they are secure.

Once he's confident the systems are all in order he'll head to his room to check the water pressure. It's not unusual to presume maintaining a ship was a messy job. Especially in certain parts, if some of his more pleasant memories were any indication.

[That_One_Guy]

He smiled and looked around one last time before hitting the button for the third floor and wondering if there would be guards up there on the third floor waiting, so he made sure to get his swords at the ready, hoping to catch them by surprise before having to whip out the rifle on his back.

Riya thought it might be a bit rude to crack open the crate of weapons before it made it back to the camp. It would be like breaking the seal on a letter. She had her own gear anyway, it was trapped away in the hanger, but hopefully the crew could help her get there. With her end of the bargain complete, she took a seat on one of the crates and rode it back towards camp.

[devilbird]

The exhibits were interesting and informative. Nothing that really helped with their current goals, but fun to learn all the same. Tik-Tik had to keep Weech away from some of the more valuable or breakable pieces, but otherwise it was an enjoyable way to wait. It sounded like the meeting finally let out, so this was her chance to go talk to the man they were here for. She went back to the front desk hoping to see the expert before he wandered off outside or to another part of the museum.

You make your way back to the front and see the group of men and women in suits. It all seems confusing at first, but fortunately they all have name tags with their departments on them and you manage to find the head of the geography department a young woman with blue hair, green eyes, and relatively pale skin from the cool environments of the area.

"Hey I've had a long day before I bumped into you so I need a good shower after this" she starts on her way to the bridge. Everything seems to be smooth with your systems and it should only be a few more hours before you reach the refueling station. Everything seems fine with your shower as you hold your hand against the warm beads of water. "Uh I think I found something you're gonna wanna see" you hear over the intercom. What could she have found now.

(19) you start towards him in a great dash. When he turns about to see how bad things were going at the deal he is greeted by your lunge. You take him like a speeding bullet and manage to pin him when he lands on the ground. "What's your deal lady!" he angrily ask struggling to try and break free. From how dark it is in the corner he can't make out any of your more mechanical features.

The elevator starts up and you immediately notice something is off. This strange upbeat music is playing while it climbs up. Granted, you've never been in an elevator before, but you have to wonder who would possibly pick such cliche music for an elevator ride. You hear a beep as it reaches the third floor and come out into a small room. No one appears to be around, but you can hear chatter through the nearby walls.

Riya

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The forklifts start forward at a slow pace with Simbad guiding them through in case any new terrors had shown up. Fortunately nothing new had taken up residence in the halls and you have a safe, though slow, journey back to the camp. When you finally arrive they lower the crates and go back to get the rest. Some of the crew hurry over and start to open up the crates. They have some rather high tech odds n ends for a research vessel. Light machine blasters with jet cooled barrels, assault blasters with liquid elemental shot, even a few small assault bots with little blasters mounted on their fronts. No telling what other wonders await within the other crates.

[lilbooth]

Riya waited patiently inside the camp as the crew equipped themselves from the crates. Once they had finished she would pick through what was left. If she couldn't find a weapon she liked perhaps she could snag herself some pretty piece of tech. She was hopelessly technologically illiterate, but it would fetch a nice price from the right seller. One of the bots would be nice, she could keep it on her ship to do repairs and a little maintenance. Riya then went to see the Squad Leader. She stood at attention and offered a salute as she entered the room. The combat from earlier had brought back some pleasant memories of her time in the core, which manifested in her military-esque behaviour. "Sir, the armory has been taken, the gear is secured and our team suffered no cusualties. I believe we are prepared to take the hanger." She said keeping a proffesional air about herself.

[TheUnknown]

The last load is brought in and when the crew finishes you see what is left. Searching through the crates you find a dot sight for the blaster pistol, some spare armor plating that could either be used on your forearms or legs, and a few health kits in case you or any got injuries. Seems that they needed every bit of tech they could get. The squad leader greets you as you return and signals for you to be at ease. "We are close, but we need deal with a pressing problem first. All routes to our camp are shielded by the blast doors. All, but one that is" he pauses going back for the map and showing a large main corridor that leads to the storage area. "We have erected a barricade there and have the bulk of our combat able forces holding the area from any aggression. They attack it most seeming to know it is our one weak point. Three tunnels collide with the main path. One is too large to stop up, but if we could take out the other two we would be able to divert more support to retaking the hanger. Won't do us much good until we can restore the ship's primary power drives, but one problem at a time. Questions?" he ask certain that there is at least something you are curious about.
