Did you hear the news??? [EVENT FOR NEXT MISSION]
Post by Last Hero on Sept 14, 2007, 8:32am

Sandor rushes into the Juber's lounge, "Smasher's been tossed out of the Guard! It's all over the comm channels!!"

"What for?" asked Nicolette with a frown.

Sandor said, "They are reporting it as a voluntary seperation, but word around the fleet is that he got into a very loud and very public fight with Gladiator."

"About what?" urged Nicolette him on.

Sandor grins, "Are you assuming that I would get that involved in idle gossip? I am insulted!"

After a momentary pause, Sandor says, "From what I heard from a buddy on Chandilar, Smasher has been trying to get the Council to take on a more pro-active approach to the Kree. He was making himself a lot of enemies, and Gladiator didn't want him ruining the Guards' reputation."

…ah. Nicolette hoped she hadn't goaded him on with that, or anything.

"That makes sense, I suppose. Still, I wish it hadn't happened."

Sandor says with a conspiring tone, "You ask me? I think Smasher was just trying to remain relevant. Had to be tough on him to go from being one of the most powerful members of the Guard to being just about powerless."

"Hmmm. That kind of thing affects people, I'd say. His suit still wasn't repaired then?"

"The suit was one of a kind. Seems like they are going to have to start from scratch, and that could take a while."

"Hmh. You'd have thought they would have had backups or something…"

Sandor shrugs, "You'd think. Probably a cost thing."

"So what's he doing now? And what about his family?"

«I'm surprised you didn't use K'lar here…»

"Don't know. CCC didn't say."

«Good point. Probably should have. Just got in a Sandorish mood ;) »

"Hmmm. His poor fans…"

She made a mental note to bring this up in her audience with the Majestrix.

I was sitting in the lounge, enjoying the hippie bean bag chair they'd recently put in there. It was so soft, and warm, and it even moved around and gave me a nice massage.

I wouldn't find out until much later that it was actually a very influential alien diplomat, and I simply couldn't hear it shouting at me. Que Sarah.

Sandor gives Tank's chair a slightly odd look but doesn't say anything.

K'lar walks into the lounge. He activates his holorecorder and gets in Tank's personal space, "So, how do you feel about your former mentor having to leave the Guard?"

It had been a few days since Kalvin and I (Back in the day, I would have said "Me and Kalvin") had our little adventure in the horrible, horrible vaccuum of space. I was still completely deaf, though I wasn't too worried about it since the Juber's medical staff assured me it was only temporary. Still, I wasn't too happy about it.

I cocked my head to the side after I smelled somebody nearby, and I noticed somebody I'd never met before standing next to me, looking at me expectantly. He was holding something and pointing it at me. Looked almost like some kind of a spacey weapon. So many flashing lights. Figured he was showing off some kind of weapon, trying to get my opinion on it.

"That's real scary."

I was just humoring him.

K'lar continues obliviously, "Scary? Are you afraid his tainted reputation will have an effect on you guys?"

I blinked a few times. I could feel something pointy and wet dig into my elbow, so I made a fist and gave the bean bag chair a solid punch. Something almost toothlike stuck to my fist, but I just dropped it to the floor. People were such slobs, I thought, just leaving little bits of trash laying around the ship. Bunch of animals.

I looked up and the guy was still standing there.

"Could probably do a lot of damage," I nodded.

It was strange feeling so vulnerable. When you can't hear what's going on around you, and you can't even hear somebody talking right to you, it's really intimidating because you never know what the hell's going on around you or right in front of your face. It could even be downright scary.

Not that I was scared, I'm not some kind of sissy little girl.

K'Lar is shocked to get some a straight out admission. He's seeing huge numbers on this, "Thanks! I didn't realize just how big this story was!"

Guy looked so happy. Somehow… It was actually kind of pleasing to give somebody a little happiness. Though I hated to admit it. I got the same feeling from keeping one of my smaller teammates safe, and I could disguise that as aggression since it inevitably involved knocking someone's teeth down his throat.

"These pretzels are making me thirsty."

K'Lar nods, "I can take a "Interview's Over" hint. Catch up to you later!"

~Damien~

I step out from a corner for the first time, definitely having gone unnoticed until now. I step straight into his path, still dressed in my Cain gear, the mask, too. I look down at him, still running over everything I've heard today in my head.

I stand there silently for the moment, before finally speaking up. The silence was a little less than voluntary- what do I say? Do I threaten him? Do I plead with him? The silence comes off intended, fortunately, and I finally speak, going with something simple.

"Run nothing defamatory." The tone is firm, but not demanding.

K'lar looks insulted, "I never would! I have way too much respect for you guys to ever do that!"


Re: Did you hear the news??? [EVENT FOR NEXT MISS

Pretty sure he's telling the truth. I pull the mask off and run my hand through my hair, sweeping the white streaks back.

"Good. Smasher is a hero, no matter what happens and no matter what's been said. He doesn't deserve to be run through this."


Re: Did you hear the news??? [EVENT FOR NEXT MISS
Post by Last Hero on Sept 14, 2007, 11:57am

"I agree with that, but it's still big news, and getting your reactions to it is my job. Smasher was always good to me, and I have no interest in making him look bad. He did leave a legacy here with you guys, though."


Re: Did you hear the news??? [EVENT FOR NEXT MISS
Post by Meisha "Muse" Aisha on Sept 14, 2007, 12:04pm

"He was good to all of us. The Guard don't understand what they've done." I pull the mask back on and slide past him.

"Do him justice."
