Futuristic The Titan

[animegirl20]

"But she DOES have a point, i mean, even if you did flirt with women, your not exactly a catch being a space pirate and all, buah ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Well I wouldn't call him bad catch." She mumbled to herself. Liana glanced back at Ezro when he said he had her Data Pod. "You found it!" She ran over towards him. "Thanks Captain."

"I swear girl, you've got to keep better track of your things! Pirates are meant to rob, not BE robbed. If you end up leaving it in the wrong place you can bet your ass someone is gonna take it without a second thought." "this is the last time Im keeping track of this thing for you."

" I know I know....Soo um where did you find it anyway?" Soon the conversation went into talking about finding a first mate and maybe going after this Slave traitor fellow. A first mate huh? She thought to herself. She smiled and was about to speak out but then Lockes said something before she could get it out.

Hey, wait a second, instead of trying to find some man to be your first mate, why not find some woman? with a woman, she's bound to put you in your place and recommend to you options like taking this route or that route, it almost works like that daft married couples system people always badger on about, asides from Liana, there's Zaera on the ship, correct? she could make a good first mate, why don't you give it some food for thought?"

"No fair Lockes why can't I do it! I'm already second mate. He could just promote me." She said crossing her arms. Jeez why did she get the feeling people didn't take her seriously. She could be serious. She was good on missions. She looked up at the Captain. "Come on I could it and I'm trustworthy and I can totally put you in your place."

"Where I found it doesn't matter. What matters now is you being better about keeing track of your things." Ezro took a deep sigh before patting her head. Reverting his attention back to Lockes, Ezro nodded his head. "He deals in narcotics doesn't he? Maybe you and I can set up an appointment with him or one of his cronies. He's dangerous sure but with how bad we look he won't think we're hunting him for the bounty. All we need is some toxic capsules to smoke out the place and before you know it we'll have a hostage." Laughing, Ezro shrugged his shoulders "Ive actually been thinking of asking Zaera, but I haven't built up the courage to. I don't quite feel she would like the proposition. She'd make a hell of a first mate, and is good about decision making. I guess we'll see. I'll talk to her about it after we finish up at the depot." Liana soon piped up and Ezro smiled sadly at her, "Look, I need you where you are now. With as young as you are you're lucky to be my Second mate. But you're still young and irresponsible, hell you can barely keep track of your own data pod let alone help me run a ship. Im sorry."

"Listen to our captain Liana, when your older, you'll understand what it means to carry the position of first mate." said Lockes to Liana before returning his attention to the captain "Yeah, that's right, he sells slaves to get his hands on the latest narcotics there are, i heard he's aiming to go after the latest batch of narcotics recently developed, a drug called "SDHR1" or, as the scum of the underworld call it "Angel's Kiss", it puts those that take it into instant comas without realizing firsthand the effects of what it could do, either that or they simply just don't care, anyways, Daido is planning to buy his hands on enough of those Angel's Kiss so that he can then poison rival faction leaders that oppose the Dovan Traders in their sleep and then, once they end up in comas, Daido will swoop in and make those that once served his enemies his own men, kind of a sick plan don't you think?" said Lockes to captain Ezro about Do Daido.

She cocked her eyebrow up at his answer to where he found it. "What do you mean it doesn't matter? I want to know where I left it!" She stuffed the Data Pod in her pocket. "I don't get you sometimes." She said looking at him as if he was a puzzle. Already irritated she got more annoyed at his answer.

"Look, I need you where you are now. With as young as you are you're lucky to be my Second mate. But you're still young and irresponsible, hell you can barely keep track of your own data pod let alone help me run a ship. Im sorry."

"Listen to our captain Liana, when your older, you'll understand what it means to carry the position of first mate."

"Which you refuse to tell me where I left it." Yeah she was young but she was 19 not a little girl. She was grown up. "I'm not a kid you know.I'm freaking 19! You guys act like I'm some 14 year old girl!" She said crossing her arms. "Whatever I didn't want it anyway." She said as she pulled out her Data Pod. "Besides It's just a stupid Data Pod we didn't even use these things at home. We wrote letters." She walked out of the deck totally mad now. When she reached the halls she sat down on the floor and lean back against the wall and started looking at new feed through her Data Pod. Bet they wouldn't say that if I looked like Zaera. She thought to herself. "Maybe I should do research on that slave traitor they were talking about...."

"...Liana, silly girl, doesn't she know how much we care about her well-being? i practically think of the girl, as my own daughter, its natural for a parent, even if not related by blood, to worry about their children, don't you agree? captain?" said Lockes, as he gripped tightly the wheel of the deck, worrying about Liana and wondering if she will do something reckless...

"Where you left it doesn't matter, you shouldn't have lost it in the first place. I understnad you are not a child, but you're still not responsible enough to handle this position." As the girl handed the data pod back over to him, Ezro shook his head "Well you lived inan outdated place, but if this is what you want you can enjoy sending letters around the ship when you need something." Surprisingly Ezro's temper hadn't burst yet. "Indeed, but I fear she may never understand that. I just don't the poor girl to get hurt and end up regretting having ever joined. That's the last thing I want on my mind is being responsible for someone elses life being ruined."

 

[Iamkingdomhearts1000]

"...Captain...your still thinking, about THAT, huh..." said Lockes, having known the captain for, as long, as he has, he knew that the captain was thinking about his past and that living in the present both here and now, he does not want to bring misfortune and tragedy to others like he has faced himself in the past, captain Ezro...

Marin8 rattles off a shopping list to Lockes over the communicator.
Isek sighs. "That was all right, except we don't need gopher meat, silk, or whatever a 'thatchery' is."
"I like to feel pretty too!" Marin8 babbles before zooming off behind Zaera.

"Everything I do is necessary! I am an advanced AI whose every action is dictated by logic and reason!" Marin8 shouts while juggling balls of frubberling meat.

 

[Siren77]

(Oh blimey, just forget that he took it xD) animegirl20

Ezro cringed, his eyes hazey and lacking any emotion. He hated talking about his past, about his brother, about what had happened. It still pained him, even now seven years later. Shaking his head he faked a smile at Lockes, "Nah, I just don't want the kid to get in any trouble is all. Anyways, make an announcement when we're ready to board. While everyone gets the supplies taking care of, you and I have a scumbag to take care of."

 

[Iamkingdomhearts1000]

"...If you say so, captain..."

said Lockes, respecting the captain's wishes whilst noticing the fakeness behind his smile, just then, he heard the list on the communications hose being sent to him by Marin8, of whom Lockes calls:

"...STUPID MACHINE."

"I'm smart enough not to purposefully destroy my circulation apparatus, which is more than can be said for you meatbag!" Marin8 retorts.
"Also probability dictates that your birth mother offered copulation in exchange for currency!"

 

[rattyray]

Zaera shot Marin8 a curious look as it started to juggle the Frubberling meat. She decided against saying anything other than "Of course it is. What a foolish question," sarcasm dripping from her tongue.

She jumped a bit as she felt her data pod vibrate in her back pocket. With gentle fingers she took the device out and checked the message sent in from the captain. She immediately brought an image of her office in mind, thinking for a moment or two. It didn't take long for something to be pointed out in her mind. "Antiseptic, we're running low." she quickly sent it off.

She figured that since he asked they were nearing the next stop, so she'd better go and change into something more than leggings and a tank top. She said a quick goodbye to the two in the kitchen and headed to her room. Zaera got dressed, sporting the heeled look she always went for. At this point her hair wasn't wet anymore, so she let it out of it's braid and let it flow over her shoulder. As she left her room she decided to make her way to the flight deck, she found that it was the best place to watch and wait as they landed.

As the lift slowed to a stop and the doors opened to the deck, she was pleasantly surprised to see those whose already gathered there. She walked forward to the group, her hands behind her back. She made her way beside Liana and glanced over to the captain. "Other than supplies is there anything more we need to do while docked?" she asked him, eyebrow raised curiously. She shot a smile Liana's way and nodded to Lockes as a greeting.

A vein popped inside Lockes' head, as he said towards captain Ezro:

"...CAPTAIN, permission to send that scrapheap out with the rest of the junk into the asteroids?"

said Lockes, very tempted to destroy Marin8, never getting along with the machine no matter how hard he tried to play nice with it.

The Kitchen:
"Try it and you'll be served at the next meal, meatbag. It'll be sushi because of how little of that meat is anything more than garbage." Marin8 retorts.
Isek decides to stay out of it. Lockes would never be able to take out Marin8 and Marin8 was too insane to ever be able to take out Lockes.
The latter was proven when Marin8 proceeded to spray antiseptic fluid all over the floor and roll around in it. Isek decided to head to the bridge.

The Bridge:
"Anything of interest, Captain" Isek asked as he stepped on the bridge.

 

[Iamkingdomhearts1000]

"Yeah, tell that assistant of yours he's malfunctioning!"

said Lockes, issuing a complaint towards Isek about Marin8, as Lockes then nodded towards Zaera and had said to her the words:

"Ah, Zaera, just the woman the captain was looking for..."

said Lockes, comically eyeballing captain Ezro, trying to secretly get him to talk with Zaera due to Lockes' earlier conversation with the captain...

[Gravitational Force]

"That reminds me,"
Isek pulls out a cloth-wrapped box and presents it to Zaera.
"I made these especially for you. I did a bit of research and I think I tailored it exactly to your tastes."
Inside the box are chocolates with fillings genetically engineered to taste the best to Dagnopi and Zaera specifically. It;s amazing what you can find online.

 

[Siren77]

Ezro shook his head," look I don't like the damn thing any more than you do. But we can't get rid of it. Its Iseks property and he can do whatever he likes with it. Although should it start causing any serious problems Ill take your plight into consideration."

As Isek and Zaera entered. He waved to them, although did his best to ignore Lockes comment. As much as he'd like to pop the question now, he still had yet to develop the courage to do so. Instead he turned his attention to the cook Isek. "We're docking at the station very shortly, so if you wish to come along I suggest your make preparations." Turning to face Zaera he nodded his head. "Myself and Lockes are going on a bounty mission to get us some extra cash. 30,000,000 Jolts to be exact. So we'll leave the errands up to you and the others."

Thinking over the events of the morning, Ezro finally felt a sense of determination. How couldn't afford to wait any longer amd risk putting the whole talk off forever. "Um Zaera?" What was it that Lockes always said? Keep a comfident smile and try not to stutter? Trying his best to follow Lockes advice he continued talking. "Id like to speak with you privately if thats alright, there's something Id like to discuss with you."

[Gravitational Force]

Marin8 trundles into the Bridge.
"Hello, Captain! Can I come kill that person with you?"
Multiple weapons sprout from the machine. "I'm combat ready! And unlike Lockes I don't produce an odor so foul that the prey would be alerted from miles away."

Isek uses the distraction to place the chocolates into Zaera's hands and issue an invitation for a private dinner tonight.

 

[rattyray]

Zaera shot a curious look to Lockes. "Me? What do you need Strider?" she addressed the captain. She kind of felt like she was out of the loop and it annoyed her quite a bit.

Gently taking the box out of Isek's hand she quickly unwrapped it. As she opened the box her entire face lit up, she was a sucker for sweets. Zaera took no time in shoving a piece in her mouth, immediately grinning at the familiar taste. "It taste just like the candy back on Dastrion!" she exclaimed, smiling fondly at the memory of her planet. "I haven't had something like this since I was a little girl. Of course I wasn't allowed to have any, but sticky fingers like mine can get you quite far," she said looking down at the box warmly.

It's been a while since she was last on Dastrion, no doubt she had several bounties on her head there. Before her departure she did . . . well let's not talk about what she did. The feeling of nostalgia quickly turned into something of regret. Letting out a small huff she closed the box of chocolates and looked at Isek. "Thank you so much," she said, her tone a bit heavier than before.

Holding the box securely in her hands she nodded toward the captain. "Of course Strider, lead the way captain," she said and nodded toward him. Her mind ran quickly trying to figure what he needed, and judging by his body language it was something fairly important.

"!? BRING IT ROBOT! I'VE GOT A GIANT FIREARM HERE AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO BLOW UP THE SHIP WITH IT IF IT MEANS BLASTING YOU INTO THE VACUUM OF SPACE!!!"

shouted out Lockes, taking his trusty hand cannon up in his arms after putting the ship onto auto pilot, wanting to settle things with Marin8, as they were about to go into confrontation, the Titan was starting to approach in sight nearby Megelidova space station, where there, the 300,000,000 Jolts Bounty, Do Daido, leader of the Dovan Slave Traders was laying in wait for them...

Ezro nodded his head, relieved that he was finally getting this over with. Leading her out of the Deck, Ezro walked down the hall and into his quarters. It was a slight mess, but none the less it was the perfect place to meet as Ezro rarely allowed others in here. He thought about pouring a drink but instead gestured out his hand for her to take a seat in one of the chairs present. After she had sat down, Ezro sat across frm her rubbing his hands together with a nervous look on his face. "So... Im sure you're familiar with the issue of my crew lacking a first mate correct? Well, Ive done some thinking and I have a proposal for you." Ezro wasn't sure how to go about asking, so he decided to take the up front approach. "Would you like to accept the promotion? You're one of the senior members of this crew, as well as one of my most trusted allies. Id be honored if youd accept. Of course, you don't have to accept right away. You can give me your answer tonight, say over dinner?"

A porter bot pulls out the power cell in Lockes's gun while his attention is aimed at Marin8.
"Don't hold your breath, meatbag."
Marin8 shoves a bar of chocolate in Locke's mouth, then flees the scene.

Location: Sitting out in the hall against the wall.

Liana had gotten distracted during her search. Honestly she couldn't find anything anyway. Though she didn't know what she expected to find. She noticed Zaera was coming down the hall. When Zaera smiled at her she smiled back then looked back at her pod. When she saw Marin8 coming down the hall Liana froze hoping it wouldn't see her. She was honestly afraid of it and tended to hide whenever it came around. It even made her cry once. She then watched as Ezro and Zaera leave the deck together. Guess he was going to ask her. Though the way he was acting you think he was going to ask her on a date. The thought annoyed her slightly but she shook her head pushing it away. "Well...I guess she is technically the best person for the spot. Even though I rank higher....." She said to herself. She sighed and looked back at her data pod. "I still want to know where he found this." She said not letting it go. "I'll show them that I can handle myself just fine and that I'm not some kid." She wondered how much longer it was till they got there.

"BLEGH! Chocolate! i hate chocolate!"

said Lockes, as he tried to get the taste of chocolate out of his mouth whilst trying to reassemble his gun after Marin8 had basically dismantled it.​
