The flight from the Twilight Tavern and the desolate little moon it sat on to the massive space station was a smooth one. Espin disembarked the merchant ship that had agreed to take her along, giving them another small piece of payment for the trip. She then headed through the bustling corridors of the space intake and towards the main hub of the station. The sheer amount of space was awe-inspiring inside. There were dozens of shops, stalls, stores, anything from an inn to a gambling table in the alley. Most of the people walking around looked just as shady and rugged as space pirates. Some of them might have very well been space pirates. She shoved her way through the crowds towards the inn, deciding finding a place to stay would be the best first step. It would give her a good vantage point on the rest of the activities in the station--at least in this area. It was a very popular area. If Yasai or Rui decided to show their faces here to buy illegal parts or refuel, they would most likely head here. All she had to do was wait.

Yawning somewhat to himself, he was on his way out of the inn, his attention having been in the book in his hands, he failed to notice Espin, bumping right into her. "oh my, My apologies madam, I wasn't watching where i was going. Are you alright?" Smiling as he moved his dark brown hair to the side, his book now closed and tucked into his dark black trench coat.

The fact that their bodies connected didn't seem at all like something Espin minded. She had been paying attention, despite that this stranger had not been, and she'd run into him intentionally. She stepped aside and looked him in the eyes, her own green ones taking him in through the thin slits that were her pupils. "I'm fine." she muttered, her lips barely moving. She flipped her black curls over her shoulder and headed on her way towards the inn lobby, giving a small smirk as she tucked the man's wallet into her green leather jacket. Too easy. she thought with satisfaction.

With a small smile he had nodded to her response "that is a relief" he had spoke with a small bow as she passed by him "I hope you have a pleasant evening, You should try the restaurant a few buildings down from the inn, its a bit pricey, but apparently I'll be paying. So enjoy" he had spoke as he turned to continue on away from the inn with a smile.

His words gave Espin pause. Her hand was still resting on the inn's door handle when his words hit her ears, and she turned to watch his receding back with a confused frown. He had known she had swiped his wallet.. and yet he was letting her have it? With such a pleasant attitude, no less. It perplexed her, and yet... She narrowed her eyes at him, then pulled his wallet out, looking through it. No cards, just cash, no pictures... not even so much as an ID. At the same time though, there wasn't any sign of a tracker, or hidden needles or bombs, or any other miniature traps. She frowned again and looked up to find him, but his body had disappeared among the many people roaming the station. She tucked the wallet away again and hummed dismissively, heading into the inn and to the desk. She nodded at the woman behind it, requested a room, and pulled the man's wallet out. "I found this outside," she lied smoothly. "Do you know who it could belong to?"

The lady behind the desk smiled "is there no I.D. inside? that is strange, maybe it was Mr. Nights. He just left here moments before you walked in, I am sure he is not far, if you wanted to give it back yourself, otherwise I'd be happy to hold it back behind the desk till he returns" she had spoke with a large smile, obviously just trying to provide proper customer service.

Espin stayed silent a moment, even after the girl was finished speaking, clearly thinking and taking in everything she'd said. She then plopped the wallet onto the counter and shook her head. "No, you can hang onto it. Make sure he gets it back." she said. "I need a room... and leave my room number with the wallet." She put plenty of money onto the desk for a two-night stay, then tapped her emerald-painted nails on the desk as she waited for her room key.

Once again the lady smiles and she nods "I will do just that, I am sure he will want to thank you for finding it." she spoke before handing Espin a key "you're in room 18, it will be just up the stairs, a few doors down the hall, you can not miss it. Thanks again for choosing our lovely establishment, and if you need anything, just pick up the phone and dial 000, Thank you"

Espin swiped the key from the counter, gave one last glance at the girl, then turned and wordlessly headed upstairs. Once she found her room and got settled--dropping her duffle bag of supplies and personal items into the security chest at the end of the bed--she flopped onto the bed on her back and stared up at the ceiling in silence, just listening to the sounds of the people outside. After a bit, she pulled off her leather jacket and curled up under the blankets in just her pants and tank top, breathing deeply as she tried to warm up. Space was too damn cold.

Yasai warped into the area around the space station and docked at his usual spot. as the ship decompressed, he rested his head back in his chair for a moment and let out a long drawn out sigh. He waited patiently for the doors to unlock and then walked out onto the space station looking across the walkway to the stranger in red pants he made a slight nod, and walked away towards the nearest inn. "That was a close call, but hey...got some new welding gear from that strangers docking bay...weird how he looked so much like federation.."

Espin sighed as she finally managed to pull herself from bed. She was warm enough now that she decided to head downstairs and find something to eat. She pulled her jacket back on and slid her boots on, then headed downstairs and out of the inn. As she was heading out of the doors, her eyes fell on a face made familiar by seeing too many bounty boards. That was Yasai. She smirked a little, and made her way towards him. If the rumors were true, he wouldn't be able to pass up a pretty face.

Yasai walked over too a table where two men were sitting and slyly slid them a stack of credits, then turned and made his way to the elevator in the building, as he waited for the doors to open he pulled out his keycard that had the number 19 on it. he fidgeted with it while he waited and leaned his head back against the wall, it was obvious he was having a bad day.

Espin followed Yasai to the elevators, watching him closely. Her quick eyes managed to see the number on his cardkey, and she almost grinned. Too easy. She moved to stand beside him, pretending to wait for the elevator, and glanced at him smoothly, her black curls framing her pale face as she pouted her full lips. "Long day in space?" she asked smoothly, tucking her hands into her pockets.

Yasai by this time did not even open his eyes, he leaned against the wall and let out a slight smile as he chuckled. "you have no idea."

Espin smirked. He was too tired to even look at her. That was good. It might give her an advantage. She turned to face him, making sure that if he did open his eyes, he would get a clear view of her cleavage under her leather jacket. "Word around the galaxy is you're the perfect guy to talk to about... parts." she said, tilting her head at him. "Got anything worth discussing in private?"

Yasai's eye's opened and immediately focused into her cleavage for a second before snapping out of it and looking around. as the elevator doors opened he stepped in and smirked at her. "I have a part you might be interested in."

Gotcha. Espin smiled at him smoothly, sauntering into the elevator beside him. She looked up at him, hit the button for their floor number, and once there she stepped out and led him to her room, right next door to his. She unlocked the door, shoved it open, and looked at him, waving him to enter first. "Make yourself comfortable."

Yasai stopped for a second as he looked at the number on her door, then smiled at her and slowly walked in turning his back too her as he shut her door. "#18 doesn't have the best view it is a bad room."

"You have stayed in here before," Espin said, swaying her hips as she moved to her bed. She peeled off her leather jacket as she went, revealing a black tank top and pale bare shoulders and arms that were dotted with black scales. She dropped her jacket onto the bed and turned to face him again, leaning against the bed frame. "So tell me about this part you think I'll be interested in?"

Yasai with his back to her still, locks the door, and looks through the eye hole watching the hallway as if paranoid. "This part..well its big...it has quite some gurth too it, so you better make sure that whatever your putting it in is capable of fitting it.. and it is ready to blow a very impressive payload."

Espin's smile faded quickly and one of her delicate eyebrows cocked at his words. "Um... alrighty then." she said, watching his back. "If you're trying to talk dirty to me, I'm not buying it." She slid to sit on the bed, leaning back on her palms. "I thought you were a serious smuggler."

Yasai turned around and looked at her with a smile that instantly faded, revealing that this whole time it was just for show. in his hands two revolvers pointing at her as she sat on the bed, his eyes appeared as seeing right through her. "I am, which is why I don't deal to bounty hunters who spent the last day tracking me down...18 is a bad room.. its where my employee at the front desk sends assassins and bounty hunters who are seeking me out.. you see, the people I deal with here, they practically work for me.. now get undressed.

Espin watched him closely, her bright green eyes scrutinizing. She stayed perfectly still for a moment, then slowly stood from the bed, her movements smooth. "How did you know that's what I was?" She then gave a small chuckle, shaking her head. "The girl at the desk. She's a fucking android." she said, looking at him again. "She scanned me, didn't she? Clever." she muttered, stepping out of her boots and kicking them aside. "So what happens now? You make me strip and take my stuff, leaving me here to fend for myself?"

Yasai's smirk re-emerged as he held his position with complete confidence, watching her strip. "bio-metrics is a bitch, sometimes I even have a hard time getting passed it, that or the fact that the bartender back at the tavern works for my clients, and called over to the front desk..well what I decide to do too you now depends completely on you..who are you?"

Espin tilted her head, watching him as she almost sexily unzipped her pants and began to shuffle them down her hips, revealing grey panties underneath. She kicked her trousers towards him on the floor. "Just a bounty hunter... looking to stock up and save... and find a life for myself on some quiet country planet after I've chased enough demons." she said, folding her arms to pull her shirt up, but pausing just below her bra line. "Does my name really matter?"

Yasai kept his distance carefully, as he watched her, and waited patiently. "It matters too me, I like to know the names of those who would try to kill me without even knowing me.."

"Who said I wanted to kill you?" Espin asked, then pulled her tank top up and off, revealing the matching grey bra underneath. She tossed her shirt down and held up her hands, smiling at him. "The bounty says dead or alive. All I have to do is turn you in." She tilted her head at him, dropping one of her curvy hips and looking him up and down. "I'm completely unarmed. Do you really have to keep those pointed at me?" she asked. She then smirked, her eyes flicking from his pants to his face. "Is that a third pistol or are you just happy to see me?"

Yasai holstered one of his revolvers and then reached into his coat pulling out a large stack of credits, he tossed it on the ground, and reached behind him unlocking the door. "there's enough credit there to start a new life, take it. If you ever get sick of this life and want to start new, you know which room to find me at.. and if the conditions of our meeting were different..id be very happy to see you."

Espin's eyes glanced down at the stack of credits on the ground, then her face became stoic and solemn. She looked back up at him, a scowl on her face. "I don't want your charity." Suddenly, with fluid and fast movements, and the glint of silver in the light, two needles let fly at him from her hands. One lodged itself in the barrel of his pistol, and the other buried itself into the meat of his thigh.

Yasai flinched feeling the fire of the needle sticking into his thigh, realizing his pistol was rendered useless, he threw it at Espin, as drew his other revolver out, it could be read in his frustrated eyes that there was a debate of whether or not to shoot her, before he re-holstered, and quickly limped out the door shutting it behind him. he quickly fumbled for his key and started to feel unusual. as he swiped his key and unlocked his door, he paused, and braced himself against the wall. "Damnit, that was all my credit for this week, I should have just shot her, why didn't I shoot her?"

Espin dropped her hands lazily at her sides the instant he turned to run. She took her time getting dressed, hearing him at his own door beside hers, and once her jacket was back on her shoulders, she bent and picked up the credits he'd left on the floor. She followed him nonchalantly out into the hall and then leaned on his door frame and knocked on the door lazily. "You probably shouldn't try running, Yasai," she called through it, "the poison on that needle will only get to your heart faster if you do." She then turned the knob and kicked the door open gently with her foot, smiling at him. "Feeling dizzy? I probably should have warned you, but you ran out so fast." She shrugged and moved to him, stuffing his wad of credits into his pants pocket. "Keep your money. I'll have plenty of my own as soon as I get you to the nearest Federation ship."

Yasai struggled to stand, as he felt himself slowly slipping unconscious. He took a few steps and dropped a small remote with a blinking led light

Espin watched the remote with the red blinking light as it skittered across the floor towards her toes. She frowned, kicked it under the bed, then yanked his revolver from its holster and tucked it into the back of her pants. "Nice try." she whispered, then pulled on his arm, bringing him to the floor. "Don't worry... the poison wasn't concentrated enough to kill you. But you'll have a shitty hangover when you wake up." she explained, using some basic handcuffs around his wrists and ankles.

A voice was heard behind Espin as she was cuffing Yasai "Well, I was coming up to thank you for changing your mind about spending my money...I gotta say, I did not expect this" Travis had spoke with a small smile, holding onto Yasai revolver, the one Espin had tucked into her pants, although not pointing it at her or anything, he was just leaning in the door way, inspecting it a moment, before opening the cylinder and dropping the ammo out of the gun. "such violent equipment.. "

Espin's head snapped up, looking at Travis and feeling genuinely surprised that he'd managed to sneak up on her. She was usually the one doing the sneaking. She was also amazed to find that he'd taken the revolver from her without her noticing. Her face became serious, and she stood up straight, standing over Yasai's body almost protectively. "There's nothing for you to see here. Just let me take my prisoner and I'll be on my way."

Travis had looked down at Yasai noticing he was cuffed and unconscious "Prisoner you say?.. Well that is a much better explanation of the cuffs then my first impression" he had spoke with a small laugh, knowing what a womanizer Yasai can be "...but at the same time, I kinda wish it was the first impression, sex i could of lived with and left you be... but unfortunately, I cannot let you take him, and for that I do apologise"

Espin narrowed her eyes at the man in her way, her body tensing. "Don't get in my way, stranger, this is none of your business. There is a huge bounty on this man's head that I have every intention of collecting. I am not afraid to use force to get past you." she warned, slipping a few more poison-tipped needles into her hands subtly.

His eyes notice the glare of light off the metallic reflection between her fingers, tossing the empty revolver on the ground "Now now, lets not get ahead of ourselves here. There is no need for violence madam, and I should inform you, its not as simple as getting past me. You see, Yasai is a pretty important man in this station... It is actually surprising to me that you got the drop on him" travis had spoke "The man has eyes and ears everywhere here..It is not likely you would get him off the station alive."

"You don't know me," Espin said to Travis with a semblance of a cocky smirk on her emerald lips. "I've been doing this a long time, and have brought down men bigger and more dangerous than this pipsqueak." She watched him still, then tilted her head. "What is it going to take for you to back down and let me take him?"

With a small smile "I am sure i do not know you, I do not question the fact you have brought down bigger men then him, I certainly wouldn't want to fight you myself" travis commented "however... Its not the scoundrels, or thieves he has in his pockets that concerns me..its the Republic" with a soft sigh "yes he even has those tyrants in his pocket, its sad really" he spoke, having made his way into the apartment, now standing by the window, he points out it, at the stations defense cannons "..I am afraid you would not make it much past those. Bio-metrics is curse upon this universe, and any ship with his signature would be fired upon...or so I have heard" the way he was speaking, was giving off the impression that he actually cared very little about yasai, and was more concerned about her well being, or so it seemed.

Espin watched him closely as he moved about the room, her body shifting to match him, the needles still between her fingers. She could throw them any time she wanted. His back was turned, she could do it. But something stopped her... perhaps the same something that stopped Yasai from shooting her before. Her sharp eyes flicked to the window, then back to Travis, before she looked down at Yasai's limp body. She then looked back at Travis and narrowed her eyes at him again, starting to tuck the needles away in her belt. "Okay... I'm waiting for a proposition." she said, folding her arms over her chest.

"Well, I have heard rumors that Rui is in the area as well. A trade ship had come in earlier, saying they spotted a large black federation looking battleship, about 18 miles out.. They where concerned the federation was pushing into our territory, but my Gut tells me its Rui. Of course Yasai would have to go along with this" travis spoke with a sigh of relief at seeing her put the needles away, and had leaned himself up against a wall "..but, I am willing to bet, Yasai can get us on that ship, essentially killing 3 birds...one he would be co-operating, which wouldn't send off suspicion when we left with him. other words, no Boom when we try to leave, two we capture Rui, split his bounty. Then three, would be, sense we are out of the station, Your free to put lover boy here back to sleep, and turn him in yourself. I wouldn't dream of claiming part of a bounty, you already caught" he finished his long proposition with a smile.

Espin seemed to consider his deal, her eyes drinking him in as she thought about it. "I don't normally make deals with shady strangers who don't carry ID in their wallets and have very obviously fake names like Mr. Night," she said, tilting her head as she regarded him. She then sighed and offered him her hand to shake. "Double cross me and I reserve the right to kill you."

Travis Grasped her hand "I am jack of all trades, but mostly do bounty work, cause of that, I learned it is never best to carry any identification, or use real last names. You can call me Travis if you wish" he spoke as he gently shook her hand. "How long will he be out?"

Espin took her hand back and shrugged one shoulder. "Up to twelve hours. But I have the antivenin in my bag next door if we need to wake him up sooner. Why? Do we need him conscious for this deal?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.

Travis laughed a little "It would probably make this easier, he would have to leave with us, conscious and not bound, to eliminate suspicion, but.. that being said, he does not need to be woken up..just yet, if Rui is out of the meteor field, there is probably a reason for that. We should give it a little while before we act. If your poison lasts 12 hours, then we have time to kill"

"Good, then you should go get us something to eat. Your treat." Espin said, giving him a smirk. "I don't trust you alone with my bounty. So you should go get us food, and I'll move him into my room next door." She then bent, hooking her arms into Yasai's bound ones, and yanked him up almost too easily for someone her size, beginning to drag him out of the room.

With a soft smile "why don't you lock you're bounty up in your room, I am just down the hall a bit, room 23, I have food there, we will be close enough to you're catch, that you will hear if anything goes wrong, but wont have to stare at his unconscious body as we eat, I am not a bad cook" Travis replied as he watched her lift Yasai with ease

"Hmph... do I look like the typical girl who likes to be wined and dined?" Espin grunted, dragging Yasai out into the hallway and then through her own bedroom door, then over to the bed. She dropped him onto it on his back, then sighed and dusted off her hands before moving to lock her room door, glancing at Travis again.

Travis laughs a little again "Well what would you prefer then? We go to the tavern down the street?" he asked her softly, after she had her door locked up "Although I still believe if I pay, that qualifies as wine and dining you" he finished with another laugh, and smile.

Espin leaned her back against her locked inn door, then smirked at Travis a little. "Fine. You're cooking. But don't try poisoning my food or anything. It won't work." she warned, waving a finger at him before tucking her room key in her bra, smirking at him. "Let's see you pickpocket that without me noticing." she winked, then waved for him to lead the way.

Travis just smiled and nodded before he turned and lead the woman down the hall a few doors to the room he was staying in. Opening the door after unlocking "After you, make yourself at home" he said, his room was really tidy, not much could be seen as far as personal effects. Closing the door behind them before removing his long black coat and hung it up in the closet near the door

Espin moved into the room with smooth, aloof steps, her boots thudding against the floors. She looked around boredly and gave a small hum. "Not much for decorating, hm? Surprising for someone who's obviously stayed here either often enough, or long enough, to have their unidentifiable wallet returned to them by the desk droid." she muttered, moving to finger the tacky tassles hanging off the lamp shade.

Travis shrugged standing in the kitchen "Ya I suppose that I have been staying here quite a while. Decorations just never interested me I guess, just a room to sleep in most of the time" he spoke as he pulled some food out of the fridge, prepping it after turning the stove on to preheat it.

Espin turned to watch him a moment, then moved to lean against the counter, watching him cook. "Don't skimp on the meat, huh? My species isn't a huge fan of the green stuff." she explained, combing her hair over one shoulder, revealing a patch of shimmering black scales on the side of her neck.

Travis reaches into the fridge, and pulls out a little more meat setting it onto the counter area "Alright, I will be sure to adjust for that, I am honestly not to particular to the green stuff myself" he replied glancing over at her a moment before back to what he was doing "A Ra'Najeet eh? you are a long way from home. Don't see many in these parts."

"You don't see too many of us because we don't normally travel off our planet. Space is too cold for us." Espin scoffed. "But my planet has been mined to the extent of it's natural resources... there's nothing left." she frowned. "So I left. A long time ago. Figured the risks of finding a new place to settle were less than the risks of staying there and starving to death."

Adding the additional meat to his cooking, Travis smiles a little "Yea, I have been there once.." he spoke poking a little at the frying pan with in just a few more minutes, he scraped together two plates full of food, and had set them on the table "would you like anything to drink?"

Espin blinked at him. This would be the third time in an hour that he'd surprised her. "You've been to my planet..?" she asked, frowning. "And you survived? Ra'Najeet are not too friendly to outsiders..." she mumbled, sliding to sit on her chair and watching him closely. "And just water, please..."

After grabbing two glasses of water, setting one in front of her "Well I certainly can not say it was the most pleasant experience of my life, but one of my bounties was hiding there one time. I mostly made it on and off the planet with out to much interaction with its people" Travis spoke, after taking a seat across from her at the table.

Espin watched him closely, then took a slow sip of her water, seeming to regard him mentally. "You are full of surprises," she said once she'd set her water down and began to eat her food. "You are a skilled pick pocket, with fast eyes to catch the same, you obviously have connections on this station... you're quiet." she shrugged. "If I didn't know any better, I would think you were Federation. Maybe retired... or some other branch... intel, maybe."

After swallowing a bite of food "Retired Republic Special forces actually" Travis spoke with a small smile "Your pretty perceptive yourself, thats quite the deduction" he spoke taking a sip of his drink

Yasai woke up in the room handcuffed. "Well I wish I could say this was a first...at least I still have my clothes"

Once the dinner was over, Espin stood from her seat and gave a nod to Travis. "Well, thank you for the meal, but I really should be getting back to my bounty." she said, giving him the barest of smiles. She headed out of the room, half expecting him to follow her, and moved to her own room door, unlocking it and stepping inside. She frowned when she saw Yasai awake. "That's unusual," she said, moving into the room and sitting on the bed beside him. "My venom usually lasts up to twelve hours. Even the antivenin takes about three hours to take effect. You were barely unconscious for two. You must have a very effective immune system."

Travis nods "Alright, well, we will discuss our plan of action in the morning, when yasai is awake... " he spoke as he walked to the door with her, as she left he closed the door, just after hearing espin mutter somthing about unusual "..hes awake already, I figured he would be" he thought to himself as he yawned and walked over to his bed, pulling out a small device from the nightstand

Yasai glared at her as he motioned for her to help him stand up as he felt the urge to throw up from the venom "yes well, I'm awake now so either give me the anti-venom or knock me back out.."

Espin quirked an eyebrow at him, then stretched out her leg and used the toe of her boot to push Yasai, rolling him onto his side towards the edge of the bed, where a pale waited on the floor. "If you're gonna chuck, do it there." she grumbled. "And I might give you the antivenin... but that depends on how annoying you plan on being."

After Travis had finished what he was doing with his small device, he placed it back in the top drawer and laid down on his bed, glancing at the clock, before closing his eyes

Yasai was fighting the urge to up chuck as beads of swer rolled down his face. "You give me the anti venom and I won't bug you anymore, it will be like I'm not even here!"

Espin watched him, then gave a small smirk and stood up from the bed. She yanked her duffel bag out of the storage chest at the end of her bed, dug through it, then pulled out a small vial of green liquid. She shook it up, poured it into a bottle of water, shook it some more, then put the bottle of water to his lips. "Drink it all." she said, tipping it back to help him drink.

Yasai coughed as he drank it all down and then gagged. "Good grief woman where do you come up with these nasty concoctions?!"

Espin made sure he finished the entire bottle, then set it aside and watched his face. "My saliva." she explained simply and grinned. "Or my blood... whichever is more toxic." She then grabbed his sleeves and yanked him to sit up, sitting him propped up against the headboard.

Yasai froze for a second as he gaged and the covered his mouth while shuffling with the shackles too the bathroom quickly. As the doors closed behind him, she could hear him throwing up.

Espin couldn't help but laugh. She leaned back against the headboard, waiting for him to re-emerge from the bathroom, twirling one of her throwing needles between her fingers. "You're lucky I took those cuffs off your ankles!" she called in amusement. "Though it would have been funny to see you topple face-first."

The sound of puking stopped and eventually the running water of the sink was the only noise that could be heard.

Espin sighed, tapping her boot against the mattress as she waited for Yasai to come back out of the bathroom, but after a couple of minutes without his emergence, she got up and headed to the door. "C'mon, you can't seriously be taking that long in there, you fucking girl." she grumbled, then kicked the door in easily. She stepped inside, her needles ready, and her face turning down when she saw the window open, and him nowhere in sight. "So you want to play hide and seek... I'm game." she muttered to herself, tucking her needles away again. She moved back out of the room, grabbed her duffel and slung it over her shoulder, then headed down the hall to Travis' room, banging on the door loudly. "We have a problem!"

Travis opened the door a moment after she was pounding on it "problem? I take it he slipped away?" he spoke with a small sigh, seeing the look in her face it was kind of obvious. grabbing his coat from the closet he put it on and followed her out into the hallway.

"He escaped out of the bathroom window," Espin explained, though she seemed more amused than upset. "But he's still seriously affected by my poisons. I gave him some antivenin, but not enough to completely eradicate the venom. He'll be a little slow, so he couldn't have gotten far."

In the hallway there layed the pair of cuffs that Espin put on Yasai with the needle that she stuck in his leg, in the key hole of the cuffs. Obviously used to pick the locking mechanism.

Travis nods "Alright then" he spoke as he followed Espin down the hall, before he had stopped a moment to pick up the cuffs on the ground pulling the needle out of the key whole "pretty crafty on his part" tossing the needle and cuffs back on the ground

"Hey, that needle is still good," Espin said, snatching it back up from the ground and tucking it into the belt with the rest of them. She grabbed up the cuffs too, inspecting the lock briefly before tucking them into her pocket as well. She could repair them later if the lock really was broken. She then headed out of the inn into the busy corridors of the station, her sharp eyes taking in every moving body in an effort to search for Yasai.

Travis follows her out of the building into the corridors "yea...this is gonna be easy" he spoke as his eyes scan through the large amount of people moving through out the space station. His hands slip into his pocket as he sighs a little. "well, its a space station, so ultimately he dosent have alot of options"

Yasai ran onto his ship and quickly undocked. As he unattached from the station, he charted a course for the meteor field. "This has got to be the worst day ever!"

Espin sighed heavily, glancing back at Travis and putting her hands on her hips. "Well, depending on where he docked, he may very well be back at his ship by now. That means I've lost my goddamn bounty, and I'm blaming you." she said sternly. "You need to help me get him back."

Travis glancing at her he sighs "you are the one who left the needle in him....and your blaming me?" he spoke with a small laugh before he sighed "I will help you get him back, calm down" he finished as he looked around

As Yasai charted his course, he picked up a note on his seat. as he read it, he let out a frustrated laugh, and cleared his current coordinates. "Great! this is just fantastic, getting chased by a cruiser, almost getting killed by some mad man on a federation ship, some female assassin injection her ....saliva into me, now I have to go to the planet and deliver this package to more of her reptile friends, pirates I might add!!! Its been 3 days since I slept, I need a stem pack!"

"Yes, I blame you because you distracted me from my bounty with your wining and dining. Though, to be honest, I do enjoy a good chase." Espin said to Travis, then gave an annoyed sigh as she spun around, looking for Yasai again. "Fuck. We need a ship. We'll have to go after him. Know where we can get one short notice?"

"You're the one who asked for food my dear" he spoke softly before he nods "yes, I can probably get my hands on a ship, besides, i have someone i can talk to, to see if they might have an idea of where he went" he spoke "wait here" he added before he turned and walked off.

Yasai finished charting his course as he leaned back in his chair and let out a scoff. The frustration was obviously taking a toll on him. He pulled a case out from under his chair that read "Stim pack". he opened it pulled a small needle gun out out, pressing it against his neck he pulled the trigger and a hiss noise could be heard. before warping out of the stations area, he shook his head trying to wake up, and took a deep breath. his pupils dilated, and he sat forward his his chair. "That's the stuff!!! alright, lets get this over with!"

Espin sighed heavily as she watched Travis walk off, shifting on her feet and looking around slowly. She studied the people around her, noticing some less-than friendly stares from a few guys at a gambling stall down the way, and she smirked at them. She sauntered over prettily, deciding to win some extra cash for the trip. Within half an hour, she'd not only earned plenty of spare spending money, but she'd also won one of the other players' hover board. She tucked it under her arm and saluted the men with a large grin. "Thanks for your patronage!" she laughed, heading back to where she and Travis had parted ways.

As she got back to where he had told her to wait, Travis shook his head a little with a raised eyebrow, noting the hover board "..Can not leave you alone for a moment can I?" travis laughed a little before motioning her to follow him "I got a hold of a ship. It is kind of small though, A two seated fighter small to be exact, but it was the best i could do on short notice" travis said as they walked into the hangar area of the station, stopping near a Republic Fighter ship "My informant said he has a big deal going down on planet athens, my guess is he went there.. and this ship should be all we need to get there, just hope you don't mind a bit of a cramped ride" travis said with a small smile.

"Planet Athens?" Espin asked, frowning a little. "Isn't that place supposed to be like neutral territory? Why would he go there for a deal?" she asked, seeming confused. "Don't tell me people are trying to corrupt paradise too." She moved to the ship, tossed the hover board and her duffle inside, and then slid into the passenger seat, buckling herself in. "Let's go, flyboy."

Travis shrugged "No idea what hes doing there, just that its some big deal, my informant wasn't hugely specific" he spoke as he climbed up and into the pilots seat, directly in front of Espin closing the canopy "Bare with me a bit, its been years since I have flown one of these" travis spoke, clearing a take off with the stations flight control.

Espin rolled her eyes with an audible sigh so he could hear her. "Oh great... where's the 'Oh Shit' handle in here?" she asked, looking around and grabbing around theatrically. "If you crash us, I'll kill you." she threatened almost playfully, pulling out a map screen on the back of his chair and studying the safest flight course to Athens.

Hitting a few buttons on the panel, as the ship powered on, and the platform spun towards the airlock "I will keep that in mind" Travis replied as he got the all clear from the flight deck. Moments later their small craft blasted out of the stations airlock, faster then normal take off speeds, along with that travis had purposely barrel rolled the ship as it went into space, with a laugh "..wow i forgot how much I loved flying"

"Yeah, and you just reminded me how much I hate it," Espin growled, gulping thickly. She could usually handle flying just fine on a straight path with no loops. But of course she had to get stuck with someone who liked to do tricks. She hit the "upload" button for the flight map to Athens, sending it to his console in front of him.

Travis smiled "I apologies, that was callus of me" he spoke softly as he glanced at the map, adjusting for the new course line before he spotted a large black ship out of the corner of his eye once they where about 6 miles out "..hold on" he spoke punching it for a moment as the fighter flew past the ship and quickly out of its radar range. "I think that was the Starfyre...that could have ended badly" he laughed.

"Wait," Espin said, leaning forward in her seat so she could look back out of the window at the ever-shrinking Starfyre. "The Starfyre? The ship that Rui pilots?" she asked, blinking. "Well fuck. He has an even bigger bounty on his head! We'll have to go back for him at some point." she mumbled, folding her arms. "For now, let's just keep going to Athens. I can't risk Yasai spreading my name around like rotten butter on moldy toast." she grumbled. She braced herself against her seat and sighed, prepping herself for the long trip to Planet Athens.
