Tarentek chuckled. "I think you would be surprised at what I can do. Your firearms, your relics, are complicated, but they are still just machines. They can break, and be repaired just like any other. I cannot perform miracles if they are in really bad condition, but at the very least, I should be able to tell you exactly what is wrong with them and what you'll need to fix them." He explained as he continued to disassemble his rifle.

Tarentek paused from his task to start on his breakfast. As it was something thrown together quickly, it wasn't quite as good as what she had made before, but it was far from bad. It had the sweetness that Tarentek enjoyed so much, so he certainly couldn't complain. "Sure, I can come along with you. Though, if you need to complete your duties quickly, I can come back here at any point. I would not want to hinder you in any way." He said before he started to look around the room. "Say, do you mind if I look around for something I can use to clean and lubricate my rifle? Also, where can I find your pistols? If you want me to look at them, that is."

"Perhaps after this is over, I may even be able to help with your research, but I will not need to see it for the moment. Regardless, I thank you for your assistance. Now..." Meesei began, glancing to the door. "I have one more task to perform before I can make my accusation. I would appreciate it if you could stay in my pack's room to help keep watch over Harriet and Vera, and to be a witness to the events that unfold once I return. As lieutenants, you should all be present for the accusation. Not to mention, keeping the traitor outnumbered will help to prevent violence. I should not be more than a few hours."

With the last interview complete, Meesei packed away her journal and stepped outside to confront the newcomer. Once in the hall, she saw that it was Gallus, and who she assumed to be a few of his packmates, who were questioning Fendros and Janius, who had evidently stepped out into the hall as well. She had caught the end of his questions, so she had a general idea of what he was asking about. "I understand your frustrations in being kept out of the loop. I assure you, that is nothing that any of us want. As is fairly obvious, there is something that concerns the clan as a whole, you are correct. For that reason, there will be an announcement tomorrow morning in the dining hall at breakfast which will explain everything. I would explain now, but as you can see, we are dealing with this issue as we speak. Please, feel free to spread the word of the announcement. You would be doing me a favor."

The Depths of Deception

I think you're thinking of the previous iteration of this RP, before we had to restart. You left just as we were beginning an assault on a space station held by a group of rebels. Currently, we are in orbit above Pax, immediately after that mission. So...yeah, we haven't moved too far.

The Depths of Deception

Ashley is still there, and still the pilot, so it is very possible for you to rejoin as her.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Darahil's answer was direct and descriptive, so Meesei had no need to ask for clarification. She just had one final question for him when she heard a voice approaching outside. It was familiar, though distant enough that she could not quite place it by ear. She heard Fendros address the newcomer, though if Meesei's fears were correct, she felt it would be best for her to address the matter herself.

Meesei leaned in closer to Darahil so they could speak more quietly and took on a more hurried demeanor. She was almost done with this interview and wanted to deal with whoever was outside as quickly as possible. "I just have one final question. It may not make sense or seem relevant to the situation; I just ask that you trust me. When you went to the scholar's loft for your research, what specifically were you researching? And who in the loft would know what research you were performing?"

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Meesei took note of Darahil's answer in her journal, which was more significant than he might realize. Although it was unlikely, there had been the possibility that Jerrick had not drank from his waterskin between his lessons and the meeting, which would mean there was a possibility of the waterskin being poisoned before the meeting began. However, with both Darahil and Oswall claiming to have seen him drink, she could safely eliminate that possibility.

"Thank you. Now, the meeting itself is the most likely time that Jerrick was poisoned. Or rather, immediately after it ended. Whoever was left alone with Jerrick's waterskin had the prime opportunity to poison him. Everyone agrees that Oswall left first, then you stepped out with Jerrick onto the mezzanine and spoke with him. However, Harriet claims she left the room before Vera, while Vera claims she left before Harriet. Being that you were in their path, do you recall who left first? Also, I need the names of anyone you can think of who can verify the alibis of you and the other lieutenants after the meeting." Meesei asked.

"No, thank you. That is very helpful. With what you and the rest of our pack has described, I believe I have a good picture of what happened. Now, I need to question Darahil; I would like you to stay out here and keep watch. Make sure to tell us if anyone gets close enough that they might hear us." Meesei instructed before stepping inside with Darahil.

Meesei located a place to sit across from Darahil then, as usual, took out her journal and flipped to Darahil's page. "I apologize for the delay. Given how time-sensitive this is, I shall start right away. Yesterday, when you were passing through the main chamber on the way to the meeting room, did you happen to see Jerrick drink from his waterskin?" She questioned.

Ashes [EliteCommander and Vesuvius00]

"Very well. I might be able to be more active today than yesterday. I'm feeling a lot better, and as you can see, my scars have improved drastically as well. Just a few more days, I would guess." Tarentek commented, glancing down at the half of his body that, while still scarred, was leagues better than when she had first rescued him. Once Onyx left the room, Tarentek stopped for a moment and closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. All he needed to do was to keep thinking about the good news, and maybe he could avoid falling back into his memories.

After a few minutes, Tarentek emerged from his room in his robes, and carrying his rifle in his arms. Taking a seat at the table, he set his rifle down in front of him. "I think I'm going to take this chance to clean my rifle. Jhala knows it needs it after trudging through the desert for so long. The sand really just gets everywhere." He commented and he removed the magazine, then pulled back the bolt and removed the bullet from the chamber. "You know, you were talking about the reliability of your firearms before; I might be able to help with that. After all, Human technology is my specialty. If I could take a look at your pistols, I might be able to fix any issues they are having, especially if I can find the right tools."

Ashes [EliteCommander and Vesuvius00]

"Hmm, well then. Maybe that is a sign of the times?" Tarentek commented. "Our world is changing, and with this new threat, the kind of person you describe is exactly the kind of person we need. Armies aren't what is going to truly win this looming war, it's alliances. The ability to overcome differences, to speak with others and see beyond the selfish needs of each city and settlement. I may not know much about your rituals or gods, but I can say with certainty that the kind of person who would go out of her way, at potential risk to herself, to help a lizard in need like me is someone who deserves that title...even if you did push me into the sea immediately afterwards." He said with a chuckle.

Tarentek stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder, looking at her with a smile. "Congratulations, Onyx." He said sincerely.

Star Wars - Scum and Villainy

Sirka gave a chuckle as she looked over to Tor. "Hmph, that sounds like a story. A 'great' Mandalorian bounty hunter swoops in to claim the life of our...dashing pilot. Then what happens, you fall into a sarlacc pit or something? I hear that has happened to your Mandalore way too many times. What is it about an unmoving pit on Tatooine that attracts him so much? Anyway, I can only imagine Tony staging a daring rescue, which turned into what I can only assume is a thriving romance between you two." Sirka joked as she found another spot on the wall with few enough exposed wires that she could lean against it.

"Well, anyways, you know what I'm good for. I'm the woman you want between you and the enemy's blasters. I don't really care about what you're planning for this prison break as long as you give me something to shoot. Or cut, or crush, or bite. I'm fine with some variety. Aside from all that, I like gambling, drinking, fighting, mating, drinking, shooting, and of course, drinking." She added.
