Sev placed a hand on Nessa's shoulder and gestured towards her in a presenting fashion. [color=92278f]"This is my partner in crime, Ness-"[/color]. Gasping with excitement, Myrn brushed passed Sev, [color=ed1c24]"The Star Hopper. Wagwan"[/color]. Without even giving the Star-Born a moment to respond Myrn pulled her into an embrace. In spite of her size the teenage girl was pretty strong. [color=ed1c24]"I think your bounty went up about a hundred grand the last time I checked. That must mean you're doing something right if The Council wants you dead that bad"[/color]. Sev grabbed the young woman by the back of her collar and casually pried her away from Nessa easily lifting her about a foot off the ground. [color=92278f]"Hey tone it down, kid. What did we just get done talking about"[/color]? Sev sighed, [color=92278f]"Come on. We need you to focus"[/color]. Myrn nodded, still vibrating with manic energy while she moved to collect her rail gun and helmet from the hangar floor. As the trio began to make their way through the doorway that Myrn first appeared from, Sev regaled with the story so far. She covered pretty much everything from the crash, Six's ambush, and the battle at the ship depot. Making sure to add a few flourishes and embellishments because Myrn was always a fan of bombastic stories. [color=ed1c24]"So, your sister's alive but she wants to kill you because you defected. Ness is being hunted by some monster and the entire Council fleet is turning the galaxy upside down to find you both"[/color], Myrn pieced the story together aloud, [color=ed1c24]"Is that about right"[/color]? [color=92278f]"Well when you put it like that it sounds kind of hopeless but yeah"[/color], Sev responded. Myrn led the way into a massive space. The white panel walls and floors were practically covered from top to bottom in graffiti, paintings of cute cartoon characters and arrows pointing, labeling ports and areas. All manner of tools, scrap, and miscellaneous bits littered the floors. In the center of the room was a massive blue screen with a mess of text and code crawling across it, sitting atop of what could only be described as a wall of consoles and smaller computers. Cords and wires crawled along the floors and walls to unknown crevasses. Smaller work stations were set up on the far right side of the massive room. One appeared to be for ship maintenance, another appeared to be for weapons and the last seemed like it was for general tinkering and experimentation. The ceiling was even higher than the one in the hanger. The only difference was the stalagmites that draped over the cavern like so many fangs. It was a beautiful mess of creativity and technology. [color=ed1c24]"So what can I do to help you guys out"[/color], Myrn placed her weapon and helmet on a shelf near the doorway. [color=92278f]"Well for one we need sanctuary while we lick our wounds and figure out our next move"[/color], Sev began, [color=92278f]"Next our ship could use a face-lift. I mean a complete overhaul. New ID signature, new paint job, repairs, and we really could use some guns on that thing. I'm willing to help you with the labor too. I know it's a lot"[/color]. [color=ed1c24]"Mi deh yah, yuh know"[/color], Myrn slipped into her native language, [color=ed1c24]"It's fine. On a busy day I'm doing way more than that. For now how about we relax? Sounds like you two could use a break. I'll brew us up some tea or something"[/color]. [color=92278f]"I'll pass for now"[/color], Sev retorted, [color=92278f]"Do you still have the Annex that I left with you? I need it to run some simulations"[/color]. Myrn sighed with disappointment as she gestured for the ladies to follow her over to a far off corner of the cavern. They arrived at yet another screen with a console connected to it. Sev ran a hand along the center piece of the console. The were flecks of long dried blue blood on the device. [color=92278f]"Can you hook me up please"[/color], Sev asked as she grabbed an empty metal chair and sat with her chest against the back of the seat. [color=ed1c24]"Sure ting"[/color], Myrn went behind the console and grabbed three long cords. Sev through her jacket to the floor before pulling up the back of her shirt. Three ports began opening on her back in sequence. First the back of her neck, then the middle just between the shoulder blades and the last was just at the small of her back. Myrn connected eatch cord with a small clank. Almost immediately Sev slumped over. To someone unfamiliar with this particular android activity she appeared to be unconscious and in a sense she was. However, her brain was no longer functioning in the physical world but operating in the digital one instead. On the screen overhead, Sev could be seen doing battle with Six once again. They would battle for a few short moments and either Sev would die in the process or win the fight. The battles continued one after another and each time Sev would attempt to do something different. [color=ed1c24]"Come on"[/color], Myrn sounded sort of down, [color=ed1c24]"She's gonna be at this thing for awhile. Let's get you some food Nessa"[/color]. The girl motioned for the Star-Born to follow her towards another area of the cavern. They found themselves in a smaller cove where the walls were curved. This appeared to be the Myrn's living space. Small bots scampered about on the massive plush bed in the corner. [color=ed1c24]"Ay guys we have guests"[/color], she commanded, [color=ed1c24]"Get to work on some tea please. Be gentle with the cups this time"[/color]. The cobbled together machines rattled into action, scampering over to what appeared to be a stove. In moments they had brandished a pot and cups. Myrn flopped down on a giant plushy pillow before tossing a second one to Nessa. [color=ed1c24]"I hate it when she gets all super serious about everything. She never wants to hang out"[/color].
