Abaddon the Kin-Slayer?  More like Abaddon the Chin-Wagger!  Let's start from the beginning...

The problem started around the time Narvia felt they shouldn't be looting.  Oh, come [i]on![/i]  They weren't the good guys!  They were out for revenge and doing other work on the side!  They were mercenaries!  That be only a step or two above pirates, me hearties!  Yarrr!  But putting that aside, people disagreeing with picking up a few goodies 'in the line of duty' wasn't really an issue.  A disagreement of opinion, at best.  Besides, Narv liked his plan, so he wasn't gonna give her hell over it.  He wasn't even mad that Tarak was against it.

No, the problem was that Tarak wanted to talk, or rather [i]Abaddon[/i] to talk.

He suggested it as a distraction, which was [i]alright[/i], but...ehh, not as fun as any of their previous plans, which was to show that Kai how many pieces he could break into.  And let's be clear here: Getting the master to talk to the disciple wasn't necessarily bad.  It was just [i]boring[/i], and that was the problem.  It worked [i]too well![/i]  They set up a meeting between Abbadon and Mirrorshard and...there was no real fight, and there wasn't gonna BE a fight!  The whole thing was transmitted via Omni-Whatsit and Nero with his killer mask on slumped before finally removing the thing, clearly disappointed.

It ain't bad that they probably lad Mirrorshard on their side now, having gotten 'im to leave the Restarters with some piss-easy talking on the part of Abaddon, but Nero was disappointed that there wasn't a fight today, and he wasn't exactly keen on the name of 'Star Marines' either.  I mean, I know 'Space Marines' was taken, but it wasn't really...[i]him[/i], ya know?  So, the situation was resolved before it ever really became one.  Kind of a let-down.  Ah, well...  At least they got stuff.  Nero figured now was probably time for Freo-flavored popcorn.  Uhhh, Freo was kind of a sugar-hot spice.  He didn't remember what planet it was from, but it was good.  For his own part, though, Nero did decide to ask the weapon merchant a thing or two about weapons.

[color=00a651]"So yeah.  Some of the others might want guns and things.  I can see us even using explosives.  Dunno on the powersuits, though they're always cool.  But uhhh...ya got any special knives in stock?  I got these mono-blades, and they're alright, but having more and better is gonna get real important, real fast."[/color]

He would rejoin the others later after hearing Narvia and Ariel talking about a [b][i]14-flipping-hour decode?![/i][/b]  What the everloving fuck is it FOR?!  Nero just stared for a moment, and then...well...he hadda' ask.

[color=00a651]"What the heck are you doing with that thing?  What takes half a freakin' day on these things?"[/color]
