[color=fff200][/color]Ursa laid in the medical bed with her current novel open in her hands. She reached up to itch at her chest when Mac let out a grunt, “[color=fff200]Do it...and I will strap you to the bed.[/color]” Ursa moved the hand away sighing, as she tried to ignore the itching sensation left by the surgery, moving the book up to hide her face as she peeked over to Jean who was sitting off to the side. He had stayed with her during the surgery and after it, and she knew she owed him deeply for getting her to Taylor. She took another peek only to see him staring back so she quickly pulled up the book knocking herself in the forehead. She dropped it rubbing her head, when suddenly out of the grace of god Emmett burst into the room. She sat up slowly, her body still sore from the stitches and bruises, her eyes were no longer swollen but still covered by dark bruises, and the bridge of her nose had a band-aid strapped across it. She gave Emmett a soft smile and responded to his question, “[color=00746b]I’m...fine. Still sore...but..alive. Thank the seven Ruka’s.[/color]” She remained quiet for a few moments listening to Emmett speak, smirking at his asshole comment. When he finished she took a few moments of silence before looking at Mac, “[color=00746b]Well...we were already planning to head to Magna Xeron to check the slave trades but if you think Deianira is a better option we can take our chances there. In fact, I know just the place to drop port. Mac do we have any orders there?[/color]” Mac shut his eyes for a few minutes, “[color=fff200]Marnies..could use some X and they are willing to pay out the ass for Romanic Schnaps. Which we have at the outpost.[/color]” She nodded, “[color=00746b]And how far are we from the outpost?[/color]” He shrugged, “[color=fff200]About 15 minutes. We can re-fuel there as well.[/color]” Ursa’s expression turned tense for a few minutes as she turned away from Mac to Emmett, “[color=00746b]Sounds like a plan Draykon, also you don’t have to worry about me talking to your associate. Not to lay waste to your profession, but I try to stay clear of assassins when possible. You guys deal in very messy work, and I like to keep my hands clean of it when I can. This last couple of days has been more violence then I’ve had in months.[/color]” Ursa moved away from the covers on the bed and moved her legs over the side slowly. One leg was well wrapped due to the stab wound, and as she moved said leg she grimaced. After a few seconds, she was on her feet, moving away from her bed slowly so that she could test her weight. She took a few steps forward pain running up her one leg. She grit her teeth and took a few more steps, before she reached the wall resting her forehead against it, taking in a small breath as she closed her eyes. Moments later Takashi’s voice appeared over the com, “[color=39b54a]We should be landing in a few minutes Coop. Aquaria has unlocked the force-fields and has prepped the ships for transport.[/color]” Mac cocked his head to the left looking at Ursa with dark silver eyes, “[color=fff200]Ships?[/color]” Ursa turned around, looking up at the ceiling, “[color=00746b]Not here. We will have a meeting at the outpost.[/color]” Mac stood up, “[color=fff200]No we are going to hav…[/color]” Ursa turned her eyes downward to face Mac with a harsh demanding tone, “[color=00746b]Mac. Not. Here.[/color]” Mac threw his paper down then left the room, “[color=fff200]Fine.[/color]” Ursa sighed when he was gone, muttering mostly to herself as she leaned against the wall, “[color=00746b]That’s going to be fun. Anyways boys when we get to the outpost, you are free to grab some fresh clothes and some weapons. I have a…[/color]” She turned to Jean slowly, biting her lip for a few minutes, “[color=00746b]I don’t know if I can trust you. You saved my life, but you are also a cop. I usually have something to blackmail cops, so this is me really off my game. It’s hard not to believe that I am going to end up in handcuffs and my shit is being raided.[/color]” Sudenly the ship jarred, as it landed. She crossed her arms, “[color=00746b]Well I guess I have no choice. I have a solid enough cache of weapons that are being smuggled into Bromox by tomorrow. Take what you need, and if anything happens to that shipment cowboy. I will shoot you into space faster than you can say, ‘Omg….no...don’t shoot me into space…’[/color]” She felt a twinge of guilt threatening the man who basically saved her life, but Jerry would tan her hide if that shipment was missed. Suddenly Anna came through the door, “[color=ec008c]Hey Captain, Aquaria’s waiting at the bay for you.[/color]” Ursa nodded, “[color=00746b]Alright! Thanks Anna. Can you inform the crew we are going to have a meeting in five.[/color]” ------------------------------------ The outpost was located on a small moon off of the Mona Galaxy. The moon was almost fully covered with water apart from a few sparce islands made of red sand and great large purple fronds. As the ship descended under the water, an array of purple, orange and platinum black corals littered the sea bed. Orange coloured fish that resembled Earth’s goldfish, but had the face of a spider with multiple eyes located on it’s head swam by the ship, tripling the size of the Ranger easily. More fish of various sizes and species swam by undisturbed as the ship descended deep into an underwater cave, moving through the channels until they came up to a large air pocket deep under one of the rare pockets of land. When the ship settled down and unloaded, the crew went to work unloading the salvageable loot, whilst Kira began to prepare of a list for parts needed for repairs of the ship. Ursa walked out of the bay slowly raising her arms in greeting, at the woman who stood at the edge of the sandy beach, “[color=00746b]Aquaria. My savior from the depths! Long time no talk, Tentacles![/color] Aquaria had pale turquoise skin with soft yellow and orange patches that went up her cheeks and arms. Her hair squirmed and curled down around her shoulders like thick tentacles. She was wearing overalls but her hands and feet were bare showing sharp claws and webbed fingers and toes. The creature nodded at Ursa, her voice light and musical, but was also tinted with a Jersey accent, “[color=0076a3]Savior from the depths. Jesus...no shit. You look like hell baby-doll. Oh damn...Hey cowboy! Mmm..you got cheekbones for days...Sparky.[/color]” Ursa turned to see Jean behind her and tried to not seem annoyed when suddenly Emmett popped out and Aquaria placed her hands on her hips, “[color=0076a3]Well I’ll be. Mr. Emmett Draykon. You were supposed to call me, after the last time you dropped by. Asshole.[/color]” Ursa turned to Emmett, her mouth opening in a circle, “[color=00746b]OOOOO shit! You and Aquaria![/color]” She turned back to Aquaria, wrapping her arm around the girls neck, “[color=00746b]You can’t even be mad girl. You knew exactly what would happen with that one![/color]” She looked over Ursa’s shoulder, her coral eyes zeroing on Emmett, “[color=0076a3]Yes I guess that’s fair. Of course there is new horizo..Aghhh..[/color]” Ursa clenched Aquaria’s neck as she turned to look at Jean, before whispering quietly to her friend, “[color=00746b]Well make sure those horizon’s stay far away from my future husband! Got it![/color]” Aquaria barked out a choked, “[color=0076a3]Got it! Leave the cowboy. Lucky bitch. Anyway...let’s get you some food, clothes and something for that leg . You ain’t getting any husband looking like that. JIM take the boys to get some clothes...and then start up the ships."[/color] After a few moments, a large tan coloured gelatinous looking creatures rolled out of the large mechanical doors, set into the cave wall and waved to the boys, “[color=f9ad81]You dudes, can follow me! I’m Jim![/color]” Ursa and Aquaria headed inside the doors which opened to a large warehouse sized room containing multiple black and orange crates, containing both food, contraband, and various ships, boats, and machines scattered in different zones. Ursa let go of Aquaria and sauntered along slowly, “[color=00746b]No music? Jeez...I…[/color]” Mac followed behind the girls finally cutting into interject, “[color=fff200]Play Track 907![/color]” Suddenly Basement Jaxx’s song, “WHERE’S YOUR HEAD AT?!?!” slammed through the speakers. Ursa turned around and smirked despite the obvious insult, and lip synced the catchy line, shaking her head as Mac followed her and lip synced himself. She giggled then turned to the boys, “[color=00746b]I’m just going to have a talk with the crew. I will find you in a few. Emmett. Keep that one out of trouble will ya![/color]” With that she headed into a side room, mouthing the lyrics of the song, the line perfect for the situation, “[color=00746b]You have now found yourself trapped in the incomprehensible maze![/color]”
