Indeed, killing an entire room full of innocent people wasn't exactly something that would look good on a mercenary's resume. It was a very difficult business to be in, you couldn't be seen outright killing someone for the obvious reason of it being murder and a punishable offense. Couldn't show your face in public if there was proof of your transgressions after all. That's partly why Sky wasn't going to just walk over and cut the man in half without what was considered just cause, after all he could just be looking at Ruce for some other reason. Unlikely, but enough for reasonable doubt at least and Sky didn't want that kind of trouble. Only reason his own fight later wouldn't land him in prison was because the emperor would sanction it, the sadistic fool did love to get under the blond's skin. He wouldn't likely get out of it alive, but he'd worry about that then. For now though, he had his friend to relax with.

[color=skyblue]"Pretty much what I figured, just don't know if it's worth it. The shield and cloak settings on her are perfect as is, and besides having to tinker with them if I have weapons she's never been caught so... Don't know if I should or not, maybe later I'll let you look at her and deside. You're better than me at that anyway,"[/color] it was tough for Sky to admit, but was the truth. He might've come up with the basic plans, but it was engineers that made the ship a reality. The mercenary was an expert at fighting, and though he wasn't smart he lacked the mathmatical prowess to reliably run the needed calculations. Either way, that was hardly a cause for concern at the moment. A different, grace scenario needed his attention first.

While Ruce noticed the waitress, Sky spotted the movement of the mercenary's hands as he reached for the injector. His own hand grasped the handle of his sword and while the foe reached up the blond sprang up while drawing his blade, ready to deflect any projectiles that came their way. Fortunately Ruce had already readied himself, snatching a tray from a passing waitress to deflect the needles instead. Well, at least he wouldn't need to do anything a the moment. So instead of slashing his blade, he held it firmly in front of him while he started walking towards the transgressor in the corner. A dagger from the pilot pinned the alien to the seat, before the tray knocked him out before the blond had a chance to do it himself. Pity, he would've loved to 'accidentally' swing the dull end of the blade too hard in defending his friend and kill the fool. Whatever, his boss whoever he was would probably do the job for him. With a snort, Sky returned the sword to his back, and turned to face the pilot as he retrieved his dagger.

[color=skyblue]"You alright old man? You're out of your element, should've left it to me,"[/color] he teased, crossing his arms over his chest. Ruce stole the datapad, probably to figure out who it was that hired the brute. Brilliant move really, something that someone outside of the mercenary profession would hardly think of doing. Heh, wouldn't expect any less of him. While Ruce left however, Sky turned towards the thin alien that had been sitting beside the mercenary. He was sweating bullets, going so far as to gulp while he scooted his chair back against the wall. While the innocent had fled, he was the sole patron to remain inside the bar, a red flag if the blond had ever seen any. Waiting until the pilot left the bar, Sky drew his sword once more and swung it upwards towards the alien who visibly flinched at the motion, though the blade purposely fell just short of his torso. Instead Sky then thrust it forward, letting its tip make the force field sizzle and its edge forming an angle against the wall in a threatening position that threatened to cleave the man's head clean off his shoulders. While Ruce took a route which took some serious time to go through in case the mercenary wasn't sloppy, Sky wanted to make sure to get the answer now. His advantage over the pilot was that he actually knew this duo, and what he could do to make them crack.

[color=skyblue]"Listen here, Kazura, I know that you and Chussin down there aren't afraid of death, but let me give you one piece of advice..."[/color] his eyes narrowed, and what followed would come as a harsh whisper so only the two of them could hear. [color=skyblue]"You know as well as I do that I know where every member of your family lives, and that my ship is more than capable of getting there and retrieving them undetected before you'd even have a chance to warn them I was coming. Velle and Vexion aren't they? The twinkle in your eyes, and Marias... The witch that birthed them both. I want you to tell me everything you know about who hired you, and if you don't..."[/color] while keeping the blade at the man's throat, Sky knelt down and grabbed the injector with his free hand, before smirking darkly as he rose to his feet.

[color=skyblue]"I'll leave your wife naked and smothered in honey, tied up in the deserts of Kinich, next to a starved nest of Supay ants... Who you know thanks to that sweet substance will eat her dry... With the only two able to save her, you and Chussin, tied up at her sides with damp leather on your heads that will certainly crush your skulls as it dries... The only way to save your wife being to somehow smother all of the honey off of her and onto the two of you... While your children are slowly dissolved from the toes up in this deliciously painful poison you've concocted..."[/color] he warned as he lifted the injector, frowning now, [color=skyblue]"Easily within earshot of their parents..."[/color]

[color=violet]"Ug E'mm dy-"[/color]

[color=skyblue]"Don't test me,"[/color] Sky spat, his eyes fierce as ever. Kazura mumbled incoherently in his native tongue, tears streaming down his face as he took deep breaths and tried to form the words. He knew he only had moments to respond, because Sky was rumored to have committed such atrocities in the past to someone who marked his wife for murder.

[color=violet]"O-o-og kay, E talg. Twas Fal'tokg, wanteg cargho paig ten shousang for kill. Very important stuff, upcharge much ang disrespectful tung. Dunno how Fal'tog know, some shink pirate, others Expanse, but seem like pirate to Kazura,"[/color] wincing, he closed his eyes and started to beg. [color=violet]"Please, no harm chilgrin, no part in this, shey-"[/color] starting to continue in incoherent babble, he then found himself with the blade closer to his neck.

[color=skyblue]"How can I know you're not lying?"[/color] Sky growled, and Kazura balled.

[color=violet]"On pag, please let Kazura show Sgy, please for Marias ang chilgrin..."[/color]

[color=skyblue]"Fine,"[/color] placing the injector into his belts, he then held out his hand to the mercenary. [color=skyblue]"Give me yours, hands off the trigger, then log into your account to prove it to me."[/color]

[color=violet]"Yes yes,"[/color] Kazura whimpered, following the instructions carefully. With the second injector in Sky's belts, his clawed fingers danced across his pad until he got to the screen with the information the blond wanted. Taking it, his sapphire eyes danced across the screen as he inwardly sighed. Unfortunately it was mostly in the man's native tongue, though the transactions were in the common dialect. Sure enough there was Fal'tok's name, and Sky nodded as he looked back up to Kazura.

[color=skyblue]"You'll understand that I'll keep this for now, to follow up on this. Remember, if you so much as look at Ruce wrong again I'll treat it the same as if it was my wife's life, understand?"[/color] Sky snapped coolly, earning a wary nod from the mercenary. With that answer he then withdrew his sword from the neck of his foe, returning it to his back before turning and walking towards the door. With a nod to the barkeep, he looked over his shoulder to see the mercenary on his hands and knees beside his brother sobbing. Still though, he called out to the poor guy.

[color=skyblue]"Oh, by the way... E ghuf fryd oui cyet."[/color] Truth was Sky only knew the one line, but Kazura didn't need to know that. He was just being an ass anyway, putting an exclamation point on the interrogation he'd just put the man through. It was only then that he made his way down the steps to exit the bar, his eyes immediately scanned the area for any sign of the emperor yet. None yet... Damn. Oh well, at least Ruce wasn't too far ahead of him. Making his way to the pilot, he held out Kazura's pad as he returned to his usual self.

[color=skyblue]"So who'd you piss of this time? Someone named Kal'tok?"[/color] he asked, cocking an eyebrow as he handed the device to Ruce.. It was the obvious question with what had happened, and might give him an idea of who else to look for in case there truly were others out to get him. Maybe his friend had a better idea of how to read this lead than he did, and the two of them could put a lid on it before they went their separate ways again.
