A docking pad in Kashious, Qwarke

Alex yawns as his cargo ship's auto pilot takes him down onto an open docking pad in Kashious. He nudges the landing gear lever, gets up, and heads to the back of the ship. The ship rumbles slightly as it touches down, and Alex blindly punches in the key combination to open the loading ramp. He taps a button on his watch to switch it to Kashious time and steps out of the ship. The sky is filled with storm clouds, but there is no rain at the moment. The smell of the sea fills his nostrils. He hits the black button on the outer control panel and the loading ramp begins to close.

Yawning and stretching again, he walks down the sterile road toward the city. Docking pads in the cities of Qwarke were always laid out away from the city to keep away fumes.

His client would be here soon, so he stops at the railing and looks out at the endless ocean.

RE: A docking pad in Kashious

Another figure was already there, also staring out at the ocean, a pistol in a holster at her hip, next to a beam saber. Her long hair rippling in the breeze as she stared downwards.

Her deepblue eyes were sparkling as she did this, completely unaware of anyone else nearby her.

RE: A docking pad in Kashious

Alex glances at the nearby woman out of the corner of his eye, making note of the pistol. He looks around her to see if anybody is coming.

A short way down the road, a white sedan is driving slowly in their direction. Alex pulls out a PDA and checks his client information. He turns and walks back toward the ship. The car pulls off to the side of the circular docking platform just as Alex reaches the ship.

Alex can see silhouettes through the tinting in the back windows, but only the driver gets out of the vehicle and walks over to him. Alex recognizes him as the man who wanted these items shipped. He shakes the man's hand before walking over to the ship's control panel and punching in the code. The ramp descends slowly. Alex takes another glance at his PDA before entering the ship again and walking into the cargo bay.

Alex: Let's see... which one was it...

He waves his finger around a bit before spotting a long box under a few others. He moves the boxes on top of it aside and drags it onto the floor. The man flicks open a knife and opens the box. Inside is a case. He opens the case, inside of which is a plasma rifle.

Alex: Everything's good?
Man: Yeah, and I owe you--?
Alex: Twelve tape.

The man pulls the rifle out of the case and points it at Alex.

Man: I don't like it when people screw with my family.
Alex: I'd like to know what the heck you're talking about before I die.

Alex looks completely relaxed.

Man: Two years ago, you killed my two brothers!
Alex: I'm sorry, I'm a little fuzzy on that since a kill pairs a lot.

There's a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Man: Don't screw with me! You know who I am. You remember what happened three years ago.
Alex: I assume you're referring to the people who ripped me off, tried to ship human cargo, and killed my girlfriend.

RE: A docking pad in Kashious

Her ears twitched and her gaze turned to the ship as she heard the voices inside it and pushed herself up from the railing.

She shifted her clothing and then started towards the ship, a hand going nonchalantly to her pistol in case of trouble.

She looked into the ship and heard the last bit of talking, frowning to herself and spoke in a whisper. "Doesn't sound good..."

RE: A docking pad in Kashious

Alex can see Alata standing outside the ship through the corner of his eye.

Alex: So what would you have done if you were in my position?
Man: It doesn't matter.
Alex: Why not? You'd just sit back and let them kill you after watching your girlfriend die in front of you? Put the gun down and get out of here before I kill you too.

Alex knows he'd get riddled full of holes before he could draw his pistol, but he's pretty good at bluffing.

RE: A docking pad in Kashious

She drew her own pistol slowly, making sure the motion made no noise and aimed it at the man with the rifle.

"I don't think that is the best idea right now."

She said in a clearly heard voice, half her face hidden by her long hair.

RE: A docking pad in Kashious

The man turns, the rifle turning with him. In an instant, Alex draws his Five-Seven and puts a hole in the man's head. He keeps the gun trained on the man for several seconds even though he dropped instantly.

He looks at Alata.

Alex: Thanks for the distraction.

She put the pistol back in the holster. "Only an idiot would do that anyway." Came her dry response.

"Well...he seemed to have some cause for trying to kill you, however." Her deepblue eyes fastened onto him as she folded her arms.

"I'm Alata Rorian." She bowed her head.

Alex: Well, he didn't deny my suspicions, so I'm guessing he was relating to a few guys I had to take out a couple years ago. I'd rather not go into that though.

His brow furrows.

Alex: I'm Alex Dean, and you know what? I'm getting sick and tired of people trying to kill me.

She couldn't help but laugh a little at that. "Ah...It happens frequently?" She asked him.

Her gaze scanned the ships cargo bay, interest in her eyes. "Perhaps you need someone else to help you out?"
