Lake leaned on the hull of his ship, with his arms crossed against his chest. He was waiting for Romii. While he was waiting, he was wondering why he was helping this person. He didn't like people. Not since that one incident happened. It must've been the drinks. He couldn't back out of it now.
(( Romii ))
English
-
She's leaning on her vault, cursing herself for being so stupid. R:" Zen! ZEN! Why the hell didn't you stop me?" Z:" It will do you good to be around another person for a bit." He knew exactly what she was on about. R:" You see.... No, no it won't. I don't even like people." She bangs her head off the vault repeatedly, not hard but enough to get a few stares. R:" Oh well," Resigned to her fate she walks to the hangar.
-
Lake was playing with a knife in his hand. His ghost was buzzing around inattentively.
-
Romii looks up and sees Lake, takes a deep breath and tries not to look so uncomfortable. As she gets closer she is somewhat relieved to see he looks equally as unhappy about the whole thing. R:" At least I won't have to pretend to be sociable." She mutters under breath.
-
Lake looks up and sees Romii, then he slides his knife back into its holster, and his ghost disappears. It comes back and shows a detailed map of an area on Venus. " Took you long enough." He pointed to two red triangles on the blue map. " These are some of the Warlock's hideouts. We'll check these out first and work our way from there."
-
R:"Apologies. I'll follow your lead, Zen? ..." Her ghost pops up R:" Patch our comms thru to Lakes ship will you." Turning back to Lake R:" I'm set." And with that she vanishes onto her ship.
-
Lake does the same and takes off. As his ship was breaching the atmosphere, Lake's ghost appeared. [i]Don't you think you should've told her?[/i] " Told her what?" [i] That the last time you and James saw each other, each was trying to kill the other. That's why you have that giant scar on your chest.[/i] " Technicalities. It doesn't matter. I need to see him anyway. I'm sure things have mellowed out by now."
-
Romii hits the thrusters to break orbit , and starts up the warp cycle, waiting to make the leap into the slip stream. R:" are the comms up?.....Lake?....How do you know this Lock?"
-
" We used to run missions together. We were the first scouting party sent into the Dreadnaught. After that, our group fell apart. This Warlock went off on his own adventures. He's left the Solar system and returned quite a few times. As for the third member...." Lake stopped talking. He still bore an absolute hatred for that one. ".... I'd rather not talk about him."
-
R:" Fair enough." She shuts off the thrusters and let's the warp drive do its thing. Muting the comes she turns to Zen R:" I get the feeling this is gonna be a long trip."
-
Lake leaned back in his chair while the warp drive was active. For a few minutes it was utter silence. When he came out of hyperspace, he arrived at Venus. The only problem was, the entire area was littered with ship debris. Fallen, by design. " Jesus Christ!" Lake lurched forward and grabbed the manual controls of his ship and dodged as best as he could.
-
Romii comes out of a slipstream almost exactly as Lake does. R:" Aaah sh*t!!! Zen, Stall the warp." Banking hard away from Some debris puts her dangerously close to Lake,firing up the thrusters is dangerous out of orbit but she needs to change direction and fast.
-
She was too close. Debris was right in front of Lake, and he couldn't dodge because of Romii. Switching on his weapons, he tried blasting through the debris. It almost worked. His right wing got clipped and got torn off completely. Thankfully he was close enough to Venus to be pulled in by the gravity. He was crashing.
-
She sees Lake lose a wing, but barely has time to throw the jester into a 180 bank in order to squeeze between two giant bits of debris, thankfully it looks clear straight on but it won't stay that way. Her approach is way faster than it ought to be, but she manages to haul her ship up by its nose, before it all goes to sh**. Zen dumps her unceremoniously on the ground and disappears to try and retrieve the ship and put it in a stationary orbit.
-
Lake's ship grew more unstable as every second passed. He had no control anymore. Within seconds, his ship breached the atmosphere and was zooming towards the ground at top speed.
-
R:" That does not look good," She watches the trajectory of the stricken ship trying to anticipate where it's gonna come down. R:" Surely his ghost will trans him out before impact.?" Zen appears Z:" One would have thought."
-
His ghost had suggested that, but he had nowhere to transmit to. All he could do was hold on. Looking outside the window, he was about to crash into a derelict building. Ducking down and away from the window, Lake felt the collision. He was almost flung out of the ship. Instead of flying forward however, he was lurched backwards and slammed into the back of his ship.
-
R:" Oh sh**!! Tell me he trans'd out of there, and get my sparrow." Z:" He didn't . Romii high tails in the direction of the downed ship. When she reaches it all she see's is debris and and a building with a hole in it. R:" Zen scan that mess and tell me where he is and his status please hurry!".

Edited by IXMMISmokey: 11/25/2015 2:56:10 AMOnce it had all settled, Lake was thankful he was still conscious. He slowly stood up, and his ghost materialised in front of him. [i] Yeah.... This things wrecked. Also, might want to check yourself. You're bleeding.[/i] Lake's hand automatically went to his side, and sure enough, it was damp. He shook his head, knowing he didn't have the time, or the knowledge to patch it. " Whatever. I've dealt with worse." [i] Maybe not. It's pretty serious.[/i] " Why don't you just get me out of here?" The ghost made a sigh before flying towards the door, which thankfully, was still operable. Opening the latch, he limped into an office space. " Cozy."
-
R:" This is just great, exactly why I operate alone." She mutters to herself R:" Zen can you get me in there," Romii dematerialises, the materialises some where inside th ruined building. R:" Find him will you." After a couple of minutes she finds a closed door, and tries to open it without success. R:" Lake, you in there?"
-
" Depends. Where is here?" The place was dark, and he couldn't really see. At least, not any doors. Switching the light on his helmet on, he looked around. Sure enough, there was a door on the other end of the room. He limped over and opened the door. His wound was still bleeding, but he paid it no attention.
-
R:" Can u see if it's ...... F*** It, STAND CLEAR"
-
" Stand clear of what? I'm right in front of you!" He waved his hand in her face, as if checking if she was even paying attention.
-
She taps the side of her helmet, then bangs it harder. R:" Damn it the enhanced imaging has frozen again, I cant see jack now," She removes her helmet R:" Zen see if you can do something with that." She looks at Lake R:"your bleeding pretty bad?"
-
" Not too bad. I've had worse." His ghost appeared behind him. [i] I recommend dealing with it now. Of course he won't listen.[/i] " Let's get move on already."
-
R:"let me take a look at it" She's blocking his path out and has no intention of moving until this wound had been dressed.
