	"huh, huh...get away from me!"

	A common thug was running down alleys on a backwater planet's largest city. He had a basic ballistic weapon, but he was not the predator here. It was raining, and that made things harder on a nitrogen based planet. He ran under every cover he could, and tried to knock things in the way of his hunter. [i]She[/i] had different ideas.

	Ducaelia Voes'Corum was the hunter tonight, but this was small game compared to her main prize. She had been snooping through bars and clubs for days, and finally she got something. But as soon as the claws came out, he ran faster than a Gedloosk. It had been a game for cat and mouse for a little bit, but he was tiring, while she wasn't. She could go for hours more, but she needed to end this now. She jumped down in front of him, knocking him on his rear. He scampered backwards but she pulled her wrist up faster than he could blink. [color=6ecff6]"Move, and there'll be nothing left to play with."[/color] She got closer and activated her claws. She then grabbed his left leg and gripped hard, digging her claws in. He screamed in agony. [color=6ecff6]"Now, where is Madlock? And if you lie, the pain gets worst. Don't talk, and it gets worst. Now, tell me, and like mommy, I kiss the pain away."[/color] The thug's eyes were full of terror, and he stuttered to get it out. "He-he-he'll k-k-kill me if I-I told ya'!" She made a mechanical hissing noise and got in his face, lights all a menacing red color. [color=6ecff6]"Tell. Me. Now. OR DIE HORRIB-"[/color] *bloop* She smacked her face in annoyance. [color=6ecff6]"F*** it. You're too much of a coward anyhow."[/color] She then shoved her claws into his chest and pierced his heart and lungs. His screams were silent, and he died on the spot. She got up and quickly got out of there.

	On her small ship, she read the message from Silas. She immediately thought of all the fun things she would get to do by joining up with him and his little gang. The mercenary work was mostly for money, but sometimes she enjoyed the lawlessness, the lack of following a higher order than your own. But it was lonely. Maybe joining up wasn't a horrible idea. Plus, Silas' expression on their first meeting was priceless. She rubbed her chin than began to type.

		[color=6ecff6][i]Dear Silas~,
	That birdie told you right. Madlock has caused a lot of issues for a local governing body, and I took the job. But if you're also looking for the Horsemen, and need a little...help, I'll gladly oblige. Just don't become stunned again, or I'll put another card in you're mouth, and this one for a different reason~.
									Sincerely, Ducaelia Voes'Corum[/i][/color]

	She sent the message and went to her helm. She set the coordinates for Noctus IV and then went to her quarters. [color=6ecff6]"Now for me time..."[/color] and she flopped onto the bed(mostly for her guests) and plugged into the ship's systems. She had a small ride to go.
