	Dino watches the video Donny was kind enough to share, then reads his text message. Had anyone been watching, they would have found a disturbing defiance in his lack of emotional response. His expression was impassive and unwavering. He then takes a moment before cussing under his breath, then speaks to Pippa again:

"Open a channel to my daughter."  

"Which one, Dino?" Pippa asks. 

Dino raises a brow; "You're calling me by my name now, Pip?" 

"Under the circumstances, yes." 

He gives a light chuckle. "I like you too." He then Tells Pippa which daughter he wants to be connected to.

"By the way, Dino." She informs casually. "It seems like our local bounty hunter has raised a jamming field. No more spying until I find a way to break the block." 

"A sensor jammer, huh? You know what...." Dino tells her. "That's actually not a bad idea."

"Agreed." she says, "Putting you through to your daughter now." 

"Thanks." He says. "And while I'm chatting with her, send a text message to our polite friend, Donny, would ya? Say... 'Your wish is my command.'"

	Down in Phantom point station, Cas seemed disturbed, yet a little amused when he sees the gun Cuna had selected from the DGS. He was about to make a comment about it but was stopped by an alert on his transect device. He reads the message that came with the alert. His expression becomes gravely pensive. Shard receives an alert at the same time and sighs tiresomely as she reads the message. The two officers regard each other with mutual understanding before Case turns to Cuna, Pirila, Hida and takes Mili in his arms to carry her in a cradled fashion.  

"Wandering sounds good." He replies Hida. "Stay close to me and Shard." He then tells the group, sounding more commanding than his usual tone as he is walking towards the door of the Station. At the same time, Shard is typing in commands to her Transect devise. Once close to the door, shard sends a quick message to someone on the other end using her transect devise, saying:

"Good to go." 

When the group arrives outside, Cas lies Mili on the ground and looks at Pirila. “Walking is gonna be a whole lot easier with your friend awake. I think it’s time to use your new tool.”

	Donny is hunting for his next victim in a Quatis Strip Club called Raunch, on Board the Civilian Ship Polarity. There is a wide range of ethnic classes that gather in the Raunch, so Donny won’t have a problem choosing the type of gal that seems just right for his cause. He's learned to blend in well, fitting in nicely and watching the hookers on stage when he receives an alert on his transect device, supposedly from Dino. The message that came with the alert reads as follows:

[center][pre]Anything you say, sweetheart. Don't forget the lube.[/pre][/center]

After receiving the message, Donny hears a female voice coming from the table beside him. He would recognize the voice of that belonging to Fanny May. 

"I really like that one." Fanny says, then takes a sip of beer while using her free hand to point at a dark skinned girl on stage. She puts the beer down on the table next a full glass of milk. "She's hot, right? I bet her chocolate tentacles are to die for. Or maybe something less exotic would suit your taste, Donny?" She regards the milk, and adds with a cheeky smirk; "I figured milk would be more to your taste, since you don't like to drink on the job. Take a seat, Donny, let's have a chat. We still have several minutes left to [i]kill[/i] before Dino takes his clothes off for you."

	Meanwhile, a message is received by the Tempest from the DGS. The message is sent on a complex subspace algorithm frequency designed to bypass communication inhibiting technologies: 

"I am Pippa." Says a female voice. "Since Admiral Gavon is busy preparing for date night with one of his many stalkers, I will be taking on communication efforts. This channel is open for your convenience if you so choose to relay any information to the Admiral at any time."

	In the cell block, Rufus relieves himself in the bathroom and then heads back to his cell to roll a joint. Unfortunately, the lighter he pulls from his pocket isn't working. He gives it a few shakes to try and get a flame from it, but seems to be out of gas. He gives a shy look the Instigator and ASP, asking kindly;

"Either of you two dudes have a light?"

	Ernest may be surprised to find that Ernest Junior is back in working order again. Ernest’s systems also appear to be instantaneously updated to permanently incorporate the bots systems to maintain its separate designation for future use. More than this, as Ernest finishes sending the message to the Otomigus Advocate - and probably somewhat defying what he just told them - Fanny’s ship appears out in space with Ernest junior on board. Although Ernest is aware of Ernest Jr. being on board Fanny May’s ship, Ernest Junior picks up no readings or visual image on the interior of the ship. Everything seems to be completely dark inside. 

Ernest however doesn’t receive a message back from the Otomigus Advocate, instead a convoy of ten Otomigus Vessels appear surrounding Fanny’s Ship. The Convoy escorts Fanny’s ship to the surface. Once landed, the darkness opens by way of a doorway for Ernest Junior to exit the vessel. 

Ernest Junior is on a massive landing platform. Two rows of Otomigus soldiers have formed a path for Ernest Jr. to follow. The path is fifty meters long and leads to an entrance in the side of a mountain. The entrance into the mountain is a thirty meter arch, and looks like nothing more than a natural rock formation. 

The Otomigus Soldiers are drones. They each stand roughly the same height, about eight feet tall. They don’t wear clothing, but no sexual organs can be seen. They don’t have skin, per say, but a hard, beige exoskeleton. Their eyes are large and black. In effect, they look like giant ants standing upright on four hind legs. Their two arms are holding bio rifles in a non-threatening pose across the broad plating of their thorax region. None of them say a word to Ernest Jr. 

The drones turn to look at him and wait for him to proceed towards the massive cave entrance. Two of the drones, however, break away from the lines and join Ernest Jr. They walk on either side of him, as they have obviously been allocated as personal escorts.

	“Laugh out loud, little dude!” Rufus replied. “Drunk and stoned aren’t the same things at all. Man, I think this is a good time to get know each other, don’t you?”

“I have absolutely no idea what is happening or how I’m floating in mid-air!” Hank replies happily. “But it sure is fun!” 

Rufus takes a seat on one of the holographic chairs, then takes a joint from his pocket and lights it up. He has several tokes on the joint before handing it over to Ramrod. “Finish that off my little friend. I personally don’t like getting drunk, but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what a little pot can do for ya. So you’re a plush engineer or some crazy shit like that, huh? This day just keeps getting more and more trippy.”

	Once Siren finishes her speech, she receives some more information. The message is received by her internal computerized circuitry. It’s a message from Aoa, who has apparently opened the technological equivalent of a telepathic link:

[i]”Inform your people the following recommendations.”[/i]  He tells her. [i]“Each of our people on board your vessel can serve as conduits to our planet. If any of your people wish to visit our world, they need only approach the nearest Sporn representative and request transportation. Your people will find our own people hospitable.”[/i]

If Siren then adds that part to her speech, Aoa will approach her, saying kindly;

“Escort me to your unfinished units. Once we are there I will initiate a team of workers to help you complete their structures.”
