[b]PRIOR TO MY LONG ABSENCE, SHORT AFTER DOC BECAME GENESIS...[/b] *The Exalin has docked at a space station to refuel* [Murph] "I hate places like this." [Minerva] "Why?" [Murph] "You never know who's running them. They could be giving us unusable fuel or setting up an ambush..." [Minerva] "You're overreacting." [Murph] "I don't know the meaning of the word." *Minerva sighs* [Minerva] "Want something to drink? I'm gonna go grab a soda." [Murph] "sure." *Minerva walks off towards the clerk* "Can I get a soda?" *he silently looks at her and blinks a few times, then hands her the soda* "Thanks. So... Much happen around her-" [b]Bang. A loud shot rang out, ripping through Minerva's spine. She flailed going for her weapons but was nearly paralyzed and helpless.[/b] [Assassin] "You killed my brother." [Minerva] "You'll have to be more specific, love. I've killed plenty of people." *The man trained the rifle on her head, but before he could fire, Murph tackles the man* "What the kind of bloody bullet was that...? It tore all the way through me... Ow..." *The man fired a round as he was tackled, going into the wall on his left. Murph quickly executed the man by piercing him with his many tendril-blades, then rushed to Minerva* *The clerk peeks back over his counter and looks around* [Murph] *to clerk* "Lucky I don't kill you for letting this happen." *to Minerva* "Are you all right..?" *Minerva lay unconscious as Murph picked her up and began to carry her out* [b]BANG. Another shot rang out, ripping through Murph's knee, then another, in the other leg.[/b] *Murph quickly rolled over and blasted the man down with his pistol, groaning in pain as medics carried them to the bacta pod....* [b]PRESENT[/b] *The two emerge from their bacta tanks fully healed, and look around for the others to catch up.*
