Chapter Two: Outlaws
-
As soon as Odysseus and Geralt are teleported onto Odysseus’ ship, Geralt feels a tad bit queasy, but it passes. So, this is his ship, eh? Upon first glance, Geralt can immediately tell that Odysseus takes good car of his ship and keeps it neat. It’s very neat on his ship. At least I know I don’t have to climb over everything to get anywhere. Geralt looks to Odysseus. So, what is our plan? As long as it’s not suicide, I’m in.

Apollo walks into the martian atmosphere. [Hmm, not too bad. Wonder why humans have a problem with carbon-OH JESUS THIS HURTS. I’ll-I’ll get used to it…] Apollo began slowly walking over to the OGA base…
-
Andaluza looked from the ends of the escape pod. [Shit, This atmosphere is really annoying. I can get used to it] Andaluza began trailing Apollo, hiding behind rocks and things, preparing to jump him, explosively.

“I have a tracking device implanted in Kika, so we are going to find her and … Question her. Find the strategic weaknesses of the base where Jack is being held, and then remove Kika as a threat. Once we have the intel, we are going to try to save Jack.” Odysseus goes to the forward controls, and stares out the front window at the planet and star field outside. “She can’t have gotten far. Scanning for fuel trails… It’s an older ship, so… There. Seven candidates. Two from Mars. One with a congruent fuel trail originating from a sector near the Keepers base… I have her! Still in the solar system, and my ship has twin ion-boosters, which means we’re faster.” Odysseus flips several switches on the dash. “Flux circulators … Fluxing… Ok. SAL…” Odysseus pulls down his goggles. “Punch it.” Odysseus’ ship takes off after Kika’s ship.

Faye was currently auto-piloting the ship, looking in the mirror as she changed hair and eyes. She made her hair red for a bit, making it go down no more than her upper neck, her eyes flashing to blue. “What do you think, Annie? Lenna Edeck?” She looks all around the ship, then changing it to blonde hair down to her lower shoulder, her eyes going into a very light green, “Or maybe space officer Natalie Puccile?” She changes it up once more, her hair turning a forest green and falls down to her middle back as her eyes go blue, “Zuri maybe?”
Her datapad buzzes as she walks over to it, “Oh shit…” She checks her systems. “Annabelle! We’re being followed!” She holds down a button on the ship to send a message for authorities…so…space police? She wasn’t far from Mars, and she was nearly to Earth… She takes a deep breath and prepares herself, keeping the form of Zuri.

Apollo, who had regained his ability to fly from the air shock, began doing so towards the OGA base. [Flying here ain’t so bad. Atmosphere is pretty thin but there’s like no gravity. Wait…no gravity? Can Andaluza fly here? Shiiit that can’t be good.]
-
Odysseus’ ship suddenly pulls up alongside Kika’s prow, keeping pace above her. Weapons are locked on her life-support systems, and Odysseus hails Kika. “Greetings, traitor. What do you say you slow down your ship, and lower your shields? The shields are more of a formality, considering my laser shocks can cut through them like butter, but I figure that we can all be civilized, and Id rather not have to destroy Annabelle. If you fail to comply, then this can end one of two ways. One: I fire upon and disable your life-support systems, and you suffocate in the freezing void. Or two: I injected micro-trackers in your blood stream. Well, every Keepers’ blood stream. Well, even sometimes random strangers’ blood streams when I’m bored. Basically, anyone I see on the street has them; let’s say I can get a bit paranoid. Anyways, these trackers also have the acute property of injecting a fast-acting toxin into the person’s bloodstream, at the touch of a button. My finger is on that button as we speak. Now this toxin won’t kill you, no. It will paralyze you. Permanently. So which would you rather be: a Popsicle or a vegetable? Either way I can still get the information I need out of you. Or of course you could play along, and let us dock.”

((I’ll be away for a few hours, in about an hour or two, so I apologize for falling behind. Geralt will hopefully know what to do.))

She takes a deep breath, her hair now a dark green color down to her back, her eyes a light blue and her voice calm and airy, compared to the serious and stern voice of Kika. This was Zuri now. “Alright Annabelle. Let’s see how this goes…”
Zuri complies with the commands given to her, lowing the shields as she goes into the back, grabbing a bird cage with a still live bird in it. It squawks loudly as she sets up some weed drug on the stove, letting it burn as the smoke traveled throughout the ship. She already feels the colors around her change slightly. This may go better than planned after all.
-
Odysseus enters the ship, and smells the smoke in the air. “Ah, I see how you celebrate successful missions! Hopefully you don’t think that this will incapicate me or lessen my response! My exo-suit extracts the effects from my nervous system!” Odysseus pulls out his electric batons, and moves throughout the ship, Geralt behind him. “I’m not here to play hide and seek!” <i>Odysseus opens a door and finds the transformed Kika in the back room. </i>”Hello.”
-
Zuri smiles at the bird, petting the bird now out of the cage, “Sshhhh…he be sleepin’!” She looks at Ody, smiling a bit, “Welcome! I see you hear of me scavenging, yes?” She takes her hair in her other hand and starts to braid it.
-
<i>Odysseus pulls out his gun, and points it at Kika’s head. </i>”I know your a shapeshifter. Change to your natural form, now.”
-
She smirks at you, “My natural form? Well, you don’t even know who she is!” Her hair turns black and shortens to her shoulders, her eyes going to a forest green, “But I suppose this is what you meant…” Kika says, letting the bird go fly off.
-
Geralt walks past Odysseus and looks right into Kika’s eyes. How long have you been working with the OGA?
-
Kika looks up at Geralt, seeing the emotion in his eyes as she shakes a bit, more intimidated by him than by Odysseus, mostly because of what he did….that day… “A-A long while now, I don’t know how long exactly…” She whimpers a little and cowers back away from him.
