[i]"So... What's your story? Unless you are gonna tell me it's too long or too depressing... Heh... I've heard it all."[/i]
[b]The man chuckled, the smell of cigarette smoke filling the air as a puff of gas escaped him... But in his position, he was out of view, just a voice...[/b]
[i]"Look... I don't mean to step on toes... I'm just a curious guy. Came to see what Drake did with himself and his crew... We talked a bit last time before he took ya'll for a 'ride'. I ran a different crew... But we kept a much more low profile... Only Drake and a few others knew of us... Doubt he told you..."[/i]
[b]The figure shook his head subconsciously.[/b]
[i]"Eh... I'm rambling... Well... I'll make this easier... You got a designation?"[/i]

"Designation? yeah, I'm Alpha" he kept working on the minigun, not bothering to approach the figure "And my story? yeah, its bit complicated"
-
[i]"Figured. Well, Alpha, I'll ask one more thing and then be out of your way. You open for... Work?"[/i] [b]The man asked, or what seemed to be a man... The mechanical modifier made it hard to tell.[/b]

he sighed "Depends, on what I'm doing and why I'm doing it"
-
[i]"A job, and for money... More specifically I just need a ride off planet. Most don't have spaceships and I don't trust half the time travelers around here. I might also need to bring back some cargo... Large cargo. People sized and shaped."[/i]

".......you know I left that buisness, you know what It cost us"

[i]"I'm not asking for border hopping, I'm asking for a taxi ride for myself, and then two family members. Besides, this place has an open atmosphere policy. If it was illegal I most certainly in hell not come to you... No offense... The most you'll probably have to blow up is like... An asteroid."[/i]

"Fine, As soon as she's ready I'll notify you, but I need your name"
-
[i]"Judge."[/i] [b]One man to another, he wasn't about to divulge his name. He had figured no one actually called their child Alpha... Might as well stick to blank designations.[/b]
-
"Alrighty, She should be ready in a few hours"
-
[i]"I keep on an open line... You can find me on it... Until then, I'll catch you around."[/i] [b]The figure pads off, still unseen...[/b] [spoiler]End[/spoiler]
