"I did not," Tormand murmured as he glance duo to the rainy skies above. "Though I am not surprised. Perhaps he can be reasoned with if he was a servant of Wu's."

"You need to learn when to stop,"" A female voice called from across the room. "You need to learn to respect people when they're speaking," She added. "And not block them out like a child." Roastako's replied with a groan in agony at the woman's words. "Oh God alive," He murmured, covering his hands on his ears and collapsing on the leather couch.

"Can you honestly not," The woman whispered with hostility as the man ignored her. "Don't - don't act like this, not when I'm going through this."

"But you caused this! You!" Roastakos said as he rose up on the couch, standing on his knees. "And it's always this, it's always something you mess up that becomes a weeks worth of work to fix. I know you hate your family and the old unit saying you're useless but God alive stop acting useless."

The black-haired woman's mouth hung open, her head shaking back in forth with rage after a moment. "You... you absolute-"

"I'm sorry but I'm trying to help," Roastakos interjected defensively. "With your screw-ups I always, always am the one who has to fix it. When I screw up its hilarious, and the station station can laugh. That's cruel, and you've never cared. Never." He stared across the apartment at her desperately. "I'm good at what I do! I don't deserve to be mocked because of little things, please for the love of God I need you to get that. Just because I'm capable of dealing with it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt."

The woman gave a mock laugh. "You think you're the only one capable of getting hurt." She shook her head. "Selfish little boy."

"Down here, right?"

Roastako's voice caused the large man to look up. The hall of the ship was tight, and Roastakos was careful to not let the criminal get an advantageous angle on the Solar Guard. Even shackled the man was a threat. Terman, as he'd identified himself, barely spoke a competent word - but he had revealed enough to tell Roastakos that there were others in the ship, and they were dangerous.

"Terman, down here?" Roastako's whispered again, casually hitting the shackled man's side with one of his clubs. Terman grunted at the pain before starring at Roastakos again. "Down here? Yes or no?" Roastakos spat, raising his club threateningly again. "...Yes," Terman replied at last. "Alright..." Roastakos breathed as he stared down the hall ahead again. There were several doorways, though he suspected the others on the ship were not in them. No, the staircase at the end of the hall seemed the most likely corridor. It led down into a truly thick darkness.

The Solar Guard swallowed before pausing once more and turning to Terman. "What were you staring at? Before I spoke?" Roastakos demanded. The large criminal pointed the tip of his blonde bearded chin to the ground. On the wooden steps behind Roastakos' boot a photograph lay of a straight, black-haired woman with large, sharp eyebrows, pale skin and exotic features smirking at a camera as Roastakos held her from behind. Roastakos frowned and snatched the photo up in one swift motion. "None of your concern," He whispered threateningly to Terman before continuing on.

Roastako's swallowed as he made his way to the circular staircase downward, the small light stone on his waist revealing about a foot ahead and nothing more. He continued down carefully, clubs ready for action as he circled the creaky stairs several times and emerged into a new hall. "Wait..." Roastakos whispered, squinting through the darkness as much as he humanely could. "I see something..."

A doorway, far ahead, with the faintest of lights pouring out of it.

Terman nodded ahead and spoke one word: "Them."
