They noticed the pair of figures heading very quickly down Corridor K-3. It only took a moment before they realized it was Tau, unusually late, along with some freakishly-tall companion. He looked a little wet behind the ears still. She, however, looked exhausted, her eyes glazed over. They shared a glance before returning to their tinkering on a small device.

They finished their troubleshooting at almost the exact moment Freedom's heavy armored door clicked shut. They stood and casually sauntered over to Tau's companion, who'd been handed a nice little chunk of change.

As they stepped closer to the light, their features became clearer. [b]"Ya hear that, Jasper?"[/b] said the one hanging back, his hands in his pockets. His hair was long, greasy, and matted, and his face had been horrifically disfigured. It was impossible to see where one scar ended and another began. [b]"Kiddo's old lady's lookin' for some Razzies. I think we had some Razzies at some point, eh?"[/b]

The other, Jasper, continued until he was a little more than arm's length from the stranger, keeping a bit of distance between them. He was NOT horribly disfigured, and maybe could have been a pretty boy if there had not been tattoos all over his face, neck, and shaved head.

[b]"Yeah friend, I have a few left. New customer special, eh? It's fifteen a pill. How many ya want?"[/b] His eyes glinted as he nearly salivated over the wad of cash.
