Snippet #1716463

"That's good to hear, looks like I'll be joining you as well. I wasn't sure what to expect from the other crew mates but you're alright." He sat back and watched as the other people in the cafe began to leave one by one. "Looks like they're headed on board as well. How's about we get movin' before they leave us behind." Rhev grabbed his bags and slung it over his shoulder motioning for the robot to come along with him as he walked out the door. The crowds were getting too loud and the strange air of celebration has somehow begun to fade. As he walked through the crowd he could tell the mood had changed the protesters had stepped too far it seemed. Half way through the crowd he could hear angry shouts coming from every direction and he hurried along. By the time he was at the ship and free of the crowd he too a moment to look back, everyone was in chaos now. It was easy to to see a few people were already throwing punches.

"Looks like a good time to leave." Rhev said under his breath as he boarded the ship. He looked around and noticed a few familiar faces. Almost everyone at the cafe had shown up on the deck. That was a strange coincidence.

"Yeah, it means you can get out of this room and walk around freely actually. You'll have to come with me whenever I'm on the ship but if I'm not here you can go wherever you please. Remember though you are under my jurisdiction so please don't do anything that will get me in trouble." He reached out his hand and helped Victoria out of the room. "I've got to go report to the big man right now, so stay close ok?" Edwin began walking down the long hallway leading up to the captain's office. He gave a quick nod to the man guarding his door and the guard let him though.

"She's a beauty." The man commented on Victoria. "What's a guy gotta do to get one of those?"

He ignored the comment and walked into the office. The room was well decorated, Harris may be crude at times but he had a certain air of elegance about him, his taste in interior design reflected his high class persona. Edwin knelt before him bowing his head.

"Ah so you've become acquainted with your new toy have you? I hope she performs to your liking." Harris had a knack for getting on his nerves. Edwin just stayed quiet. "Anyway's I've got your first big assignment, aren't you the lucky one?"

"Your will is my duty sir." Edwin replied.

"Always so uptight aren't you. Huh. Anyways You remember that old ship of yours the Deedle whatever?"

"The Daedalus sir."

"Right, riiight. That one. I need you to destroy it." Edwin looked up in surprise the grin on Harris's face as malevolent as always. "You see those nosy pricks have a habit of sticking their noses where they don't belong. We've received intel that they are on their way to investigate some islands that recently showed up. The thing is there are many private and embarrassing things on that island that we would like to keep to ourselves. You will take the first recon team with you, those guys really know how to get rid of things I don't like, you could learn a thing or two from them. Now get out of my office, Thomas upstairs will fill you in on the rest of the details."

Edwin stepped outside and looked to Victoria. He smiled a soft smile, pretending that he was totally fine after his meeting, and then turned away from her and began heading upstairs.
