OOC: Welcome one and welcome all, to my futuristic/sci-fi game! I hope that all who join enjoy the game! Anyways, here're the rules:

1) This RP's Rating is MATURE. Like all my other games haha :P.
2) YOU MUST PM me your character sheet, and wait for my approval to join in the game.
3) Keep in mind when creating your character, that I'd like for the first few people who join the game to have already been on my character's ship for a few months. If you REALLY want to have our first meeting in game, then I'll consider it.
4) Read the discussion thread for this game, also in the Futuristic section, to learn what I've already said about the game's setting and all that. I'll be posting planet information and stuff like that in this thread later. If you have any questions, PM them to me and I'll tell you what's what :).
5) Have fun! I won't bite, hard; and as always, no Godly characters, no god modding, etc.


Planets


Ocean Sky's layout
(This layout is off the top of my head, still can't find my notes :P)
First Floor (From front of ship to back) A cargo area, a living room, kitchen, dining room, pantry, equip/weapons storage, etc.
Second Floor: Master bedroom in front, a hallway running down the center with three bedrooms on each side, and a showers/toiletries facility in the back.
Third floor; Houses the cock-pit, navigation room, computer room, and service ducts/shafts for the ship.

Character Roster
Name: Douglas Gregoire

Age: 22

Profession: Pilot and Bounty Hunter

Gender: Male

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 175 Lbs.

Eyes: Green

Hair: Black

Description: Douglas is of average height, with a nicely muscled build. He has charming green eyes, and long black hair that goes a little past his shoulders, which he either keeps in a pony tail, or just lets it hang down. He has a beard that's like his hair, thick, which goes all the way down his jawline, and it's kept fairly short. His top lip however is kept shaved, so he has a full beard with no mustache. He's currently wearing a bright green T-shirt, with a black pot-leaf on it with 'T.G.F.L.' in large black letters above the leaf, with (Thank God For Legalization) in smaller letters beneath the leaf. He's also sporting khaki cargo shorts, which reach just past his knees, and he's wearing white and red basketball shoes.

Home World: Mars

Allegiances: His Crew, no other organization as of yet.

Social Class: Upper Class by birth, Middle class now.

Likes: Marijuana, Alcohol, his ship, travelling, money, cigarettes, Women, having fun, etc.

Dislikes: Kill-joys, buzz-killers, Nosy Police, anyone that tries to steal from him, kill him, etc. Oh, and he DESPISES Pirates. He considers them the worst kind of human parasite.

Goals: Make a good living, doing what he loves.

Equip: For weapons, he carries a semi-auto pistol, nine millimeter with a sixteen round clip. He also has a little-leage sized baseball bat (though he usually leaves this on the ship), and he has a folding pocket knife, with about a two inch blade length. Other than that, he normally carries smokes, some pot, his pipe, his phone, and a pair of hand-cuffs.

Flaws: Smokes cigs a little too much, and drinks a little excessively too. It's never impaired his ability to pilot his ship, but it's defineatly made him make some bad decisions (Lost all his money before; should've never trusted that shifty woman ). Also slightly bi-polar, can go into severe depressive episodes for no good reason. Never tried suicide or the like before, but these mood-swings can cause him to be a real ass, even to his good friends and crew.

History: Ever since Douglas was a young boy, he's wanted to learn how to fly space-ships. He took primer classes for piloting in High School, which Doug completed at 15. He then completed piloting training and got his pilot's certificate at the age of 18. He piloted for his dad for over a year, helping his dad with his business, 'Gregoire Wineries.' It was alot of fun, and Doug enjoyed every minute of it, and it brought him and his father closer together. But just before Doug turned twenty, tragedy struck. His parents were killed on Mars in a suicide bombing on a train while on vacation. Stricken with grief, Douglas fell into a heavy alcohol and marijuana habit, for several months, until his friend Dacen helped snap him out of it. Doug purchased his ship, the Ocean Sky, with the money he recieved as an inheritance. He left his father's company and estate to his father's right hand man, since Doug didn't want to run a Winery. He wanted to go out and explore the solar systems, and live life to the fullest. He chose the profession of freelance bounty hunter, because now he can truly be his own man. His parent's death made him realize that life can end in the blink of an eye, at any moment. So while he's alive, he's vowed to live every day the best he can, having as much fun and making as much money and gaining as much success in his own book as he can.


Name: Dacen Valu

Age: 23

Profession: Cook, Bounty Hunter

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 158 Pounds

Eyes: Blind

Hair: Light Brown

Home World: An Unknown Planet Named Orion, Undetected At The Orion's Belt.

Description: A slightly tall man with an average weight, Dacen was blind since birth and has tanned skin.

Allegiances: The Ocean Sky's Crew.

Social Class: Lower class by birth, Middle class now.

Likes: His friends, Cooking, to help, and alchohol.

Dislikes: Pirates.

Goals: To help his friends whenever they need help, to avenge the deaths of his parents, and to become rich.

Equipment: A Steel Walking Pole, Emergency food and water, backpack, and a tamed tiger that follows Dacen around.

Abilities: Even though Dacen's sense of sight is lost, all his other sense's are heightened. Dacen uses the sense's of hearing, smelling, and touching to master his life, Just because Dacen is blind doesn't mean he can't handle himself.

Flaws: Since Dacen has lost his vision the risk of injury and/or death are bigger. Dacen can't see where he is going or what he might be doing.

History: Dacen and his family moved from Orion to Mars when he was 7 years old. When he went to Mars he made friends with a Boy named Douglas Gregoire and they have remained friends since then. When Dacen was 13 he got his mother to teach him how to cook and Dacen seemed to be very good at it. After a few years Douglas started talking about being a Bounty Hunter and bought his own space ship, Dacen was intrigued by the offer Douglas had given him to join his crew, so Dacen accepted straight away. A while after Dacen had joined Douglas' crew he has received news thats his parents had been gun downed by a couple of members from the Mars Crime Organization. Dacen has sort revenge till this very day but cannot find any traces of who might of killed his parents, so until he does he just has to live out his life as a normal Bounty Hunter and a Cook.


Name: Kailani Tester

Age: 20

Profession: Grease Monkey, Bounty Hunter

Gender: Female

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: ?? (slim build)

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Dark brown

Description: Physically, she looks like an earthen Hawaiian. Dark skin, hairs, and eyes, slightly short height, and pretty in a 'homey' kind of way. She tends to wear gloves, loose fitting clothes and a cap, keeping her shoulder length hair in two braided pigtails to keep it out of her way. It is presumed that she prefers wearing cotton and jean materials, but it rather hard to tell, as they tend to be so covered in grease that it is impossible to see what she was once wearing.

Home World: Venus

Allegiances: Crew of the Ocean Sky

Social Class: Low by birth, now middle

Likes: Mechanical things, overalls, the occasional hard drink, traveling, mystery novels, peaches and licorice.

Dislikes: Being bossed around, being interrupted, dealing with drunken people, listening to people whine.

Goals: To make money and spend the rest of her life in an engine room that needs a lot of love.

Equip: The nicest thing she owns is her set of tools, each of which she has named and considers much like a younger siblings. She doesn't like guns, but carries one on her person at all times, just in case. However, it is much more likely that she would conk someone over the head with 'Owen,' her largest wrench, than that she would shoot someone.

Flaws: Kai can be a little bit distracted, her mind tending to work continue working in the engine room long after her body has left it. She has a deep love of and slight addiction to puzzles of all sorts, usually having a nearly full book on her at any one time to help keep her busy. Also, she can. Not. Handle her alcohol. It generally only takes one drink to make her tipsy, and after about four she needs to be carried home.

History: Born on Venus to an impoverished family, Kailani showed an early and distinct interest in the workings of all things mechanical. Unfortunately, she was never able to attend public, much less private, school, and therefore learned much of the engineer's trade as an apprentice to an old man who mechanic'ed incoming ships at the local port. Reading and writing she learned through word puzzles, which she did frequently with her grandmother. She eventually left home, earning her keep on a ship to Mars by keeping the engine running as they went. Here, as a slightly green youth of 14, she met and befriended two interesting young men who would later go on the crew a bounty ship. And every ship needs a mechanic...


Name: Melanie Mathews ( likes to be called M )

Age: 17

Profession: Computer expert and amateur navigator

Gender: Female

Height: 5’1’’

Weight: 100 lbs

Eyes: black

Hair: Light Brown

Description: M has short cut, light brown wavy hair and a lithe figure. Usually wears an oversized t-shirt and shorts or a long robe. She wears flip-flops wherever she goes and has chain piercings in her ears. The one thing that she never takes of is her PDA, which she has named Ker. It is wrapped around her forearm and is voice controlled (responds only to her voice pattern). She wears make-up when she needs to appear older that she actually is ( like when she first joined the Ocean Sky’s crew ).

Home World: Ceti One ( in the Tau Ceti system )

Allegiances: Whatever the need may be

Social Class: Upper Class

Likes: music, computers, reading, sweets, freedom to do what she wants

Dislikes: alcohol, cigars and cigar smoke, small minded people, not getting her way

Goals: to prove her parents that she can take care of herself, get a life

Equip: A PDA wrapped around her right forearm, earphones, a backpack ( containing memory cards, energy bars, a bottle of orange juice, a customized swiss army knife and various other knick knacks ). Also owns a laptop but she doesn’t usually carry it around with her.

Flaws: Acts superior, eats too much sugar, doesn’t really know how to interact with people outside formal situations

History: From a young age Melanie’s parents gave her the best education available and expected her to be the best in everything she did, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that she got her degree in computer science at 16. However she has never had many friends or what one might call an actual life. So after finishing her studies, instead of starting to work in her family company dealing in manufacturing electronics for navigation, she decided to take off on her own. Her family supports what they think of as her “Grand tour”, though she tries to be self sufficient and prove that she can live on her own. Although she doesn’t have a degree in navigation Melanie’s father taught her a lot of his beloved job and as she will say herself “It’s all computers anyway.”
After an aimless first week on Mars she decided to join The Ocean Sky’s crew thinking that life among bounty hunters would be interesting. Having overcome the initial conflict that ensued when the crew discovered her real age, she was disappointed to discover how boring her new life really is and how cramped the space ship can seem. She spends the long flights from one place to another locked in her room listening to music while surfing the net or reading.

Doug jerked awake on the couch in the living room of the ship. His head hurt, felt like a hangover; and the empty bottles on the coffee table and next to the couch were evidence that indeed, his suspicions were correct. 'Dammit.. I shouldn't've blown the last of my share on that beer..' Douglas thought to himself, sitting up. He peeked under his blanket that he'd slept with, and saw that indeed, there was a reason for that draft; he'd somehow gotten himself naked in his stupor. "Fuck..." Doug mumbled to himself as he secured the blanket around his nether regions, and made his way to his room.

After going to his room, Doug picked out one of his favorite shirts, a green T with a black potleaf on it. He dug out a pair of shorts, and threw the blanket on his bed. He went back down to the first level, and headed toward the kitchen. He was hungry, and needed something to fill his belly before all the alcohol and stomach acid came back to bite him in the ass.

Doug scrounged through the kitchen, finding little more than instant noodles, some cereal, and some really OLD leftovers. 'Hmm. Decisions.' Doug thought to himself, eyeballing several packs of ramen, then peering at the various boxes of cereal. "Ramen, or Cocoa Crunch, or Sweet Dingos, or Raisin Bran.. Ok, screw that healthy crap, and it's most positively cereal time right now, so.. Cocoa, or Sweet? Chocolate, or super sugary?... Cocoa Crunchies!" Doug finally exclaimed to himself, as he grabbed the box and a bowl. He set the bowl down, and dumped a generous helping of cereal into it. He replaced the box in the cupboard. He then went to the fridge, which was very bare, minus the beers, milk, and some kind of hooey juice that he didn't like. Doug grabbed the milk, poured it into the bowl, and was now ready to eat.

After putting the milk away, he strolled out to the living room, kicked his way through a couple bottles, and plopped down on the couch. He stuck a spoonful of cereal in his mouth and started chewing, as he turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels. He wondered how far away from Earth they were, but he was too lazy right now to go up to the Nav room and check. He also tried to rack his brain as to who they were going after on Earth, but indeed it was too early for him right now to remember. 'Eh, we put notes up in the Nav room as to who we're after, I'll check 'em later...' Doug thought to himself, continuing his gorge of cereal.

OOC:

Sorry, I have been away for awhile and haven't been able to post but I am back now and ready to get back into rp.
------------------
IC:

Dacen had been awake all night, he couldn't get any sleep. He decided to make some breakfast, so he went to the kitchen and found some eggs, possibly old eggs, out of the fridge. He put them in a frying pan and waited for them to cook. Dacen then heard noises coming from the living room, he didn't bother to check what is was thinking it was probably Doug waking up from when he passed out last night. Dacen checked on his eggs and could smell them burning, "Shit!" Dacen then picked up the pan and pushed them on a plate that was already on the bench from last night. Dacen took one bite of his eggs, noticed how burnt they really were, and chucked them in the bin. Dacen then made his way to the living room to see what Douglas was up to.

When Dacen reached the living room Douglas saw him and quickly said, "Good morning Dacen." Dacen then replied back, "Good morning to you aswell Douglas, does ya head hurt yet?" Douglas laughed at Dacen's question. Dacen then walked over to sit on the couch but knocked the side of it and fell to the ground. Douglas got off the couch and went to help Dacen up. Dacen got up and and Douglas asked, "Are you alright?" Dacen then answered, "Of course, it isn't like this hasn't happened before." Douglas nodded, even though Dacen couldn't see and went over to sit on the couch, Dacen followed him to the couch. Dacen and Douglas sat at the couch for a few hours watching episodes of the VERY old Three Stooges.

Douglas loved watching TV with Dacen, even though Dacen could only hear the TV. But for some strange reason; and maybe this was due to Dacen's other senses being heightened; Dacen could usually guess with decent accuracy what was going on in the show, despite being blind. They were watching the Three Stooges, and Douglas couldn't help but laugh at the wacky antics. Douglas smiled as he set his now empty cereal bowl on the table and said, "Man, this stuff's like, just so classic.. It never gets old! I mean shit it's from the black and white era of pre-historic television, yet still, it gets played.. Whoever wrote this stuff was right on the money, I'll tell ya that!" Douglas kicked back a bit, and asked Dacen, "So do you remember why we're going to Earth again? I forgot, and heh, I'm too damn lazy to go upstairs!" Doug said with a grin, that even though Dacen couldn't see it, he'd know it was there.

OOC: No prob man :) and if you have any ideas for a bounty that we can chase on Earth go ahead and PM or post it here :). Only idea I have written down and can think of right now is a severe wife-beater type, with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, etc. :P. So yep, any input would be FABULOUS! :)

"Yeah Doug, we were going to meet a contact... said he had a hit for us worth around nine thousand." Dacen told Doug.
"Oh alright, I will try negotiating that price thought when we get there huh? hahaha."

Dacen got up off the sofa and headed upstairs to the navigation room. He had only just started learning to fly but he wanted to see how good he had gotten, so he took the auto-pilot off and started piloting manually. At the start he got off a little bumpy but then he went alright and kept flying. Douglas had come up to see what all the jumping was, "Hey, whats all the jumping?"
"Me trying to fly."
"Well, you seem to be getting good."
"Yep."
"Alright, schooch over. I am getting bored so i'll be your co-pilot for awhile."
"Ok, since your co-pilot, you do all the work."
"Wha, huh?"

Douglas tried to get him to do some work but Dacen was already fast asleep. He needed the sleep seeing as he didn't get any last night. Douglas kept piloting the ship until they went through an asteroid field and he woke Dacen up.

"Dacen, do you see this?"
"Er... no."
"Oh yeah, sorry forgot."
"Its alright, whats happening?"
"Theres a suprise asteroid field. It has never been here before."
"Hold on, I will check the Navi computer."
"How? you can't see."
"I had a touch navi computer installed before we left Mars last time."
"Oh ok."

Dacen moved over to the navi computer, felt around until he found where the ship was. It was on its way to a dwarf planet called Eris. The planet is surrounded by asteroids, that is why there is a space station for miners around the planet. Dacen then rushed back to Douglas and told him.

"Ok, ok. Shit! what should we do?"
"Well, we will be too late for our meeting with the guy on earth, but I have a friend here who could give us alot of work. He is a miner and has alot of competition. We will get payed alot less of course but he will give us alot so we should come to our end of the month Quota. So what do you want to do?"

"Hmm..." Doug said as he thought, 'Well, we're already here, we might as well make a quick stop for a bit. A day or two around here won't mean much, besides, that contact on Earth seemed pretty flaky...' "Alright!" Doug said, "Let's stop off here for a bit. You give the guy a call, see what's up. I'll set the auto-pilot to land. I'm gonna go take a shower in the mean-time.." And with that, Doug patted Dacen on the shoulder and was off. He went down to the second floor, grabbed a towel from his room, then went to the showers. 'Huh, wonder where Kai and M are...' Doug thought as he walked down the all, passing their rooms. 'Probably sleeping still, or Kai's in the fuckin' service shafts molestering my ship again.' Doug smiled at the thought; Kai was a good mechanic, and even though he sometimes thought she spent a little TOO much time tweaking and repairing the ship, he was glad to have her aboard.

Once in one of the shower stalls, Doug undressed, threw his clothes outside of the stall and hung his towel up. He turned on the water, and relaxed for a minute, letting the warm water flow over him and through his hair. "Aaah.." Doug sighed, as he started singing an old song. From an old-Earth band called Journey. "Don't stop, believin'! Hold on to that feeeeliiing! Street light, peopleee uhhooohhwaah!" Doug continued singing as he started to bathe himself...

The cabin door opened to reveal a pale faced girl, apparently wearing just an oversized t-shirt. She dragged herself to the kitchen and after a while of rummaging in the fridge poured herself a glass of orange juice. She gulped it down and just stared for a while before her nose wrinkled and her soprano voice resounded throughout the ship.

“Ok, what crawled into the kitchen and died!”

Melanie gave the room a disgusted look and then, with the utmost care, rinsed her glass. She dragged herself up to the navigation room and plopped into the chair near Dacen, grumbling a greeting. She had just spent two days reading and living on energy bars, with little sleep and her plans to recover on the third seemed to have been thwarted by her neglect of the ship’s course. She was not in the best of moods and her encounter with the kitchen had only made things worse.

“So where are we going, Dacen?” she asked swiveling in her chair, while looking over the displays. Taking in the situation she didn’t wait for the answer to her first question and just plunged on. “Eris?! Why are we going to a miner colony? I thought the next stop was going to be Earth!” The displays couldn’t provide her with anymore information though so she just swiveled in her chair, cross-legged, waiting for an explanation.

Kailani pulled herself up on a too-small ladder, with several rungs missing. Yawning, she stretched in the cramped space, running a grease-covered hand through her already mussed hair. How long had she been down there? Who knows?
Legs slightly wiggly after spending all night in the crowded engine room, she made her way to the showers, rubbing at one eye.
"Hey, Doug," She called as she heard the loud singing. "You sober already?"
Snickering, she made her way over to the 'women's' side of the showers.She peeled nasty clothes off and tossed them into the darkly colored bin meant for her clothes. As she stepped under a faucet on her own, sheltered side of the showers, the floor was quickly covered with dark water, laden with the grime that generally accompanied her. The engine room was a messy place.
"She's purrin' like a happy kitten," She announced over the sound of the rushing water. "Don't think we'll have any more troubles 'fore we get to...er...wherever it is Dacen's takin' us."

"Well M, you see. When I was piloting I must of took a wrong turn somewhere and we came here..." Dacen had replied.

Melanie nodded to Dacen and continued looking at the display systems trying to find any more information. Dacen got up from the chair just as Dacen's pet tiger called Blood walked in the room. Dacen didn't notice until he heard a sharp "REEOW!!!" Melanie flinched but then noticed it was Dacen's tiger. Dacen went over to Blood and patted him, Dacen then walked out of the Navigation room and headed down to watch the rest of the Three Stooges marathon. Dacen walked down the stares, almost falling down because he didn't have his metal cane. When Dacen reached the living room he litterally jumped onto the couch, lied down, and listened to the Three Stooges. Dacen went to sleep within the first few minutes

Nearly three hours later Dacen had woke up and headed straight up to the Navi Room. He used the Navi computer and found out that they had arrived at Eris and had been there for half and hour. Dacen searched around the ship to find everybody to tell them we had landed. He searched for around twenty minutes and couldn't find anybody.

"They must already be on the station." Dacen said to himself.

Dacen headed to the walking ramp and headed inside the station. He walked to the stations bar and who did he see but Douglas drinking a telling stories, "We took them all on at once and at the end of it all there wasn't a single one of them standing, HAHAHA!!!" Dacen could tell he was already drunk so he headed to the mining office where his friend, Jason Lemute was waiting for Dacen. Dacen walked into the office bumping into his friend, "Dacen, is that you?" Jason asked.
Dacen then felt his face and replied, "Yep, its me." Jason grabbed Dacen and hugged him. Dacen wriggled out of it and said, "When did you turn queer?" Jason laughed at Dacen's question. Dacen walked with Jason for awhile talking about the bountys that he had...

"So whats the first bounty?"
"There is a big named miner called Sato Akita. I would pay you four thousand bucks if you can get rid of him for me?"
"Four thousand bucks? thats all? I am sorry but we need more..."
"Five thousand?"
"More."
"Six thousand."
"More."
"Seven thousand, five hundred. And thats my final offer."

Dacen could hear he was telling the truth by the way he said it.

"Alright. That is fine."

Dacen thought Doug might get a bit mad with him but Dacen knew if he asked for more he would turn to amateur bounty hunters that couldn't get the job done. Dacen then headed to the food court to try and some of the new food while he wiated for everybody else.

Kailani suddenly crawled out from under the table, a piece of red licorice tucked firmly between her teeth.
"This thing was wobblin'," She announced on the off chance anyone questioned what she had been doing down there.
She settled herself across from Dacen, chewing happily on her brightly colored snack. Tucking her wrench into her back pocket, she withdrew a wrinkled and yellowed little puzzle book, tugging a pen out from behind her ear.
"So, what's the job? We gettin' paid good?" She didn't bother meeting Dacen's sightless eyes as she spoke, having learned by then that it was a pointless courtesy. "Think we could get Ocean Sky a new belt?"
Not looking up, she took his hand and led it to a cardboard basket of semi-fresh fries that she had purchased and half-eaten. "Try these, they're good."
Back to her puzzle.

"Actually, we aint getting paid much for the next job. But after we do this, my friend will get ALOT more money and the next hit we do will probably bring in around thirty thousand bucks."

Dacen picked a couple of fries and scoffed them down. Dacen got up from his chair. He headed back down to the mining offices just to see if he could find this Japanese mining boss or whatever. After about an hour of searching, Dacen bumped into him. A fairly heavy man he was, Very musclar and tall. Dacen knew it was him because the man talked rudely about Dacen in Japanese. Unfortunately the man didn't know that Dacen was able to speak most languages, because he worked as a chef on many planets and met many different people.

"Urusei, kono yarou!" (Shut up, you bastard!) Dacen replied
"Ooo the man knows japanese. Lets see if he knows martial arts."

The Japanese man grabbed Dacen and threw him into the wall. He jumped on him and started punching Dacen's face in. Dacen couldn't block seeing as he had a concussion from being thrown into the wall. After a few minutes the man got up off Dacen, nearly killing him. The Japanese man then grabbed Dacen's left pinky finger, got out his blade, and cut off the first joint. This is called Yubizume and performed by Yakuza's to teach there members to know where they stand if they did something wrong.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Dacen yelled out loud, nearly filling the whole space station.

Dacen was sure his friends had heard his yell and would come rushing to him soon. The Japanese man pulled out some string and tied it around Dacen's finger to staunch the bleeding. Dacen laid on the ground half unconscious and gripping his finger. The Japanese man walked away and Dacen crawled up to the nearest wall and waited for his friends to find him...

Kailani was deeply immersed in her puzzle book, chewing on the end of her pen. The licorice she had been snacking on had long since disappeared into the licorice graveyard that had disguised itself as her mouth.
There is one number less than 1000 that gives a remainder of 1 when it is divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8. What is that number?
She tapped the pen against her forehead, think, think, think.
842...no, 841. Yes.
Quite pleased with herself, she jotted down the answer. Then she jumped, eyes flying wide open as she heard something. A scream. Dacen's scream, to be more specific.
Leaving her puzzle book and fries behind, she dashed off in the direction the sound had come from, calling across to the bar,
"Doug! That was Dacen, come on!" She didn't wait to see if he followed.

Melanie was just making her way back to the ship when she heard the scream. She didn’t recognize who it was but she didn’t care anyway; she just increased her pace, trying to get access to the colony’s surveillance system from her PDA while on her way. When trouble was brewing the teenager was always careful to be a long way away from the source. It was always safer to watch the goings on from behind a screen and the only place where she could provide help was behind a keyboard anyway.

The signal on the station was weak, so Ker wasn’t of much use. She hadn’t expected it to be any different but it annoyed her nonetheless. She hated these small colonies: the sweets they sold on them were of poor quality, they never had any good computer parts and the signal was always the worst possible, if it existed at all. She rushed into her cabin, in one swift movement throwing away the long coat she had been wearing and sitting in front of her laptop. Her fingers danced on the keyboard and before long she was looking at an image of Dacen, bleeding from some wound she couldn’t immediately make out. After playing back the fight she wondered if she could somehow stop the man using the service robots. Melanie quickly dismissed the possibility however, as the asian looking guy had already gone outside the range of the surveillance system. She set off the alarms in Dancen’s vicinity so that he would get help sooner and continued looking for the man on the security displays.

Doug, who'd wasted no time in heading to the bar after they landed, suddenly jerked his head up and out of the noisy mindset he'd had in the bar. A yell, a scream to be exact, which sounded all too familiar, had brought him back to reality. "DACEN!" Doug yelled, knowing that his best friend never, NEVER screamed, unless something was extremely wrong. He ran toward the scream, which had emanated from a mining office. Doug pulled out his gun, and ran into the building. He raced down the halls, as Dacen made another noise. Doug followed the sounds, knowing that he was close now. As Doug was running down a hallway, he heard another Dacen sound, and knew that he was in a room just a few feet away from him. Doug stopped in front of the door and yelled, "Dacen! You against the door or the wall buddy?!" Dacen groaned a bit and said, "The wall!" Doug tried to open the door, but it was locked. So, what did Doug do? Why, the simplest solution of course! He kicked the door in...

Doug holstered his weapon and rushed to Dacen's side, as Kai ran in right behind him. Doug hadn't even noticed her as he was running; he'd been to worried about Dacen to concern himself with anyone he might run over. "Dacen, bud what the fuck happened?! I mean shit you're too nice to have pissed someone off this bad! Is this about a job or somethin'?" Doug asked, as he picked Dacen's finger up, then put one arm under Dacen's and around him, hoisting him to his feet. "Let's get you to the medical center buddy, get that shit re-attached.. If you want you can tell us later about what happened, we gotta make sure you're ok though alright?" Even though Doug had been quite jolly earlier due to his drinks, the situation had quickly sobered him up, and his genuine care for his friend shined through. All his crew, which were all his friends, knew damn well that if they needed him and Doug could help, he would. Or he'd die trying, that's for sure...

Doug and Kai had gotten Dacen to the Medical Center. The nurse told them to take a seat but then Dacen showed them the finger that he had lost. The nurse quickly rushed Dacen to a bed and got the doctors int here quickly. A few hours later, the doctor came out and said, "Well, your friend is alright now but he had quite a beating. It seems he has lost a bit of his memory and isn't seeing straight." Doug then replied, "Doctor... he is blind." The doctor seemed shocked and then let them through to Dacen's room. Dacen was laying in the bed with a bandage around your head. Doug and Kai looked at Dacen suprised at the head bandaged. Dacen then told them, "Don't worry, I had a headache is all." All of them laughed even though they all knew that it wasn't just a headache. They had performed surgery on Dacen's head aswell as his finger because of Brain Hemoraging.

Dacen, Doug, and Kai then talked for awhile and tried to find out what happened to Dacen.

"So Dacen, what happened?" Kai asked.
"You see, I got a job from my friend down here in the station. I went to go check and see if I could spot this guy out why you guys were doing your things. I found him, he was a Japanese guy, quite possibly a member of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. So I bumped into him and he spoke rudely to me so I called him a bastard. As punishment for insulting him, he performed the Yakuza punishment called Yubizume. They cut off the first joint of the pinky finger and for every punishment they cut off a new joint."
"So, this guy. Where can I find him?" Doug asked.
"Either in his mining office or at the shuttle bay. He usually hijacks a shuttle every so often and sells it."

Dacen then asked them to leave so he could go to sleep. Kai and Doug left the room. Dacen then went to sleep and dreamt of what he would do the Japanese prick who beat him. He started smiling...

"Wow..so...Yakuza.." Kai leaned against the hospital wall, rubbing her elbow thoughtfully.
"Not every day we hear that one."
It had been a rather stressful situation, getting their bleeding and broken friend to a hospital. What would have happened if they had been just a few moments late?
"So what's the plan, Dougie?" She asked, reaching into her pocket. She searched for a bit, probably looking for something to eat, but removed her empty hand a moment later. Such disappointment. "We goin' after this guy, or what?"

"We're defineatly gonna find this son of a bitch..." Doug said, throwing a granola bar he'd stashed in his pocket before leaving the ship toward Kai. She caught it, and Doug grinned, knowing that she'd been searching for munchies in her own pockets. "I'd say we check the shuttle bays first. He's probably gonna try to 'borrow' a shuttle and skip station, after the ruckus he caused just now. Won't wanna be around for a few days so he can say he had nothing to do with it. So, let's head there quick, make sure we don't miss him." And with that Doug and Kai headed out of the medical center, and toward the shuttle bay.

As they neared the docks, Doug said aloud, "How're we gonna find this guy? We don't even have his name or know what he looks like... Course, a huge Japanese descent with an attitude, shouldn't be hard to find right?" He looked over toward Kai, as he pulled out his pipe and blazed the bowl a bit. He needed to chill before he actually came upon this guy, or he might lose his cool, or prematurely blow his cover. Doug let the smoke out in a liesurely stream after inhaling quite a bit. They continued waking, in search of their target.

Kai rubbed her palms together, lips pursed as she looked around.
"Well...someone who's willin' to knick off a fingertip in the middle of the day probably ain't worried 'bout bein' seen with blood on his shirt. So we're lookin' for a big, moody, bloody Japanese fella, right?" After staring around for a moment, she clapped Doug on the shoulder.
"Let's split up. We ain't likely to find him if we just walk around together." And with this the two set off in opposite directions, both looking as inconspicuously as possible for a big, moody, bloody Japanese man.
Kailani wandered around for a bit, one hand resting casually in her pocket. She was beginning to think that perhaps they had been too late, and the yakuza man had gotten away...when she saw him. Well, she assumed it was him.
He was BIG.
He was clearly Japanese.
There was blood on one of his hands.
And he was standing in a most moody manner.
She took a few soft breaths, not wanting to attract attention, trying to decide what to do. Finally, she reached behind herself, grasping hold of her largest wrench. She tiptoed up behind the man, taking a moment to gather herself...then slammed it down over his head. The man's large, dark head jerked forward violently under the none to soft blow...then he jerked around and glared at his attacker.
Kai had been expecting him to drop like a sack of wet flour. Now, standing there with a wrench that had his head blood on it, she gulped, taking a step back. Truth be told, she wasn't quite sure what to do at this point.
The man's hand shot out, grasping her face. "MmPH!"

After she saw that Douglas and Kailani had taken Dacen to the hospital Melanie relaxed her watch and began playing a game on her computer. She directed the display of the security cameras to Ker so that she could keep an eye on what was going on. Time sped by quickly and every once in a while the asian would pass through a surveyed area. She thought about texting Douglas his whereabouts but knew that he wouldn't leave the hospital before making sure his friend was ok. When the two had finally left the hospital Melanie was so absorbed in her game that she hardly watched the display anymore.

It was only by chance that her eye caught sight of Kailani as she raised her wrench to smack the guy in the head. But when he turned around to face the mechanic her heart shrank. She quickly scanned the other camera views for Douglas and texted him, praying that he had his phone.
“Kay’s in danger. Look for a red ship with a white stripe. About 600 feet behind you and to your left.”
