Visiting the Newbies Late in the evening, Amonost and Eruantion enter the atmosphere of Meeriad above Sunder. A contract was recently put out on a woman, Michelle Juarez, who was said to have fled to Meeriad. Supposedly, she had stolen some "top secret" scientific and military documents from Larion, Vansid. Normally, Amonost wouldn't deal with top secret government documents, but the money was too good: 260,000 tape. Unfortunately, Meeriad had not yet converted their currency to tape; but a space station set up in orbit had a division dedicated to converting currency before arriving on the planet. It was a bit of a hassle, but they figured it would be worth it--if only they could find the woman. Their last job, Leon Mecheeto, was unsuccessful and they gave up. They told themselves that they only put it on hiatus, but in reality they gave up. Landing at an airport outside Sorna, they catch a ride into town and, having been travelling through space for over a day and a half due to their lack of hyperdrives, find a hotel and get a room. Inside, they go over what they know. Amonost: You know what bothers me about this, though? They say she left Vansid a year ago. Why did they just now find out? Eruantion: It's the government. Amonost: Good point. So anyway, she left-- Eruantion: She left on a cargo ship a year ago. Not a professional shuttle or anything. She probably wanted to keep off the records, but they found out. Amonost: Somehow. They don't tell us how. Eruantion: Right. Amonost shakes his head. Eruantion: And they think she's on Meeriad now, here on this continent. Sorna-- Amonost: Sunder. Sorna's the country. Eruantion: ...Right. Okay. Amonost: But how would they know that? Eruantion: Beats me, but I guess they do. Amonost: Maybe they started looking and got a lead? Eruantion: So why didn't they do it themselves...? Amonost: Good question. Eruantion: And they kept stressing not to look at the documents when we find them. So let's wear gloves and see what they're all about when we find 'em. They both grin. Amonost pulls his bag onto his lap and rummages through it. He pulls out an 8.5x11 piece of paper with vivid color picture on it. He mumbles to himself. Amonost: Nice of them to give us a huge color picture... Dang, she's hot. Eruantion snorts. Amonost: She probably changed her look and name to make her harder to find. Eruantion: Right. Amonost: Why is at always the cute ones that are intergalactic felons? Eruantion: Intergalactic? Amonost: I just wanted to say that. The next morning, they awake, eat some cheap military breakfast rations (which are surprisingly good) that they packed, and take off to search. Eruantion takes off for Torbald while Amonost walks around the city in which they landed, dressed casually so as not to attract attention, realizing that that may have been his downfall in the search for Leon Mecheeto--which he was still bent out of shape over. Entering a small breakfast joint, he takes a look around. And she's there. His dropped jaw turns into a smile. But this is Meeriad, where he would likely get shot eighty times in three seconds if he tried anything in this crowded restaurant. Noticing she has just started eating, he breaks into a dead run. He flags down the first taxi he sees and tells him to floor it to the airport. Tapping his foot impatiently, he arrives at the airport twelve minutes later. As fast as he can, he gets to his ship and flies out at full speed, headed back for the restaurant. A few minutes later, he spots an open field beyond some trees behind the restaurant, lands, and returns to the parking lot just as Michelle is leaving. Amonost: I am so good. He watches her get into a black Dodge Challenger before running back to his ship and taking off. He follows her. After several miles, civilization thins. A few more miles and the city is gone. Thirty miles from town, he begins to wonder where the slag she's going. He realizes that he received a text message 45 minutes ago from his brother. I'm in Torbald now. Already killed two guys who tried to kill me... Great fun. If you find anything, let me know. Eru Amonost: Might as well tell him... He begins to type into the ship's computer. Found her. She was in a "Waffle House" right in Sorna. I'm following her in her car right now. 30 miles from Sorna and still no idea where she's going. Amon Just as he sends the message, Michelle turns onto a dirt road, partially obscured by a forest canopy. Amonost: Great... Verifying that the weapons are disabled, he turns on the targeting system and targets the car so he can't lose it. A short way into the road, she turns into the driveway of a small cabin. After she goes inside, he lands on a plateau on top of a hill behind the cabin, heads down to the front door. He thinks for a moment, lies on the front porch face-down, knocks weakly, and pretends to be unconscious. He hears the door open. He hears the door open the rest of the way and somebody rolls him over. He jumps to his feet and draws his Lern. Amonost: Michelle Juarez, you're under arrest for stealing top secret documents from the Larion government. The woman scowls. Woman: I'm not Michelle Juarez, and I didn't steal "top secret government documents." She has a very serious tone. Amonost: So why do I have your picture on my bounty? Woman: Because I used the name and I did steal documents... but not from any government. Besides, even if I did, I'm outside their jurisdiction. Go away. Amonost: 'Fraid not. The woman's facial expression appears as though she will rip out his lungs and feed them to him. Woman: I'm Fate Mecheeto. Amonost's eyes widen. Fate: My brother was framed by Ellixan buttholes. I was trying to find out why, so I stole briefing documents and escaped to the first planet I could get to. Now I'm paying for it. Amonost: ...Paying for it? Fate: You're not the only bounty hunter who has come looking for me. I've killed others much larger and more skilled than you. Amonost: Great! Why didn't you kill me yet? Fate: Because I can see in your eyes that you have some sense. Leave. Amonost: Is your brother Leon Mecheeto? Fate: Yes. How do you know this? Amonost: I was trying to find him for weeks. After he continued to allude me and my brother, I took this contract. I don't even know why I'm telling you this. I should be bringing you in. Fate: You know deep inside yourself that I speak the truth. Amonost: Why do you talk weird? Fate: Because my name is Fate. I do not speak as such with those I know well. By this time, Amonost has holstered his pistol. Amonost: Gosh, I'm so messed up. I actually believe you. Did you know that contract is for 260,000 tape? Daa-aang! I'm passing that up because-- Fate: Silence. She holds up her hand. Fate: Get inside. She turns and walks inside. A low pop is heard in the distance and the door splinters near her. Amonost: Holy nuggets! He runs inside and takes up a position near a window, pistol drawn. Fate mutters to herself as she glances out a window. Fate: Too slow, butthat. She reaches into a kitchen drawer and pulls out a small device with several buttons on it. She presses one. An explosion is heard outside and a deep voice is heard cursing loudly. She reaches under the sink, pulls out an FN F2000, and walks calmly back outside. An orc can be seen running clumsily through the woods carrying a Walther WA2000. She shoulders her rifle and lets off four rounds. The orc drops. Fate: I grow tired of this. Take me from this place. Amonost holsters his blaster. Amonost: Sure thing, sweetie. He seems to find himself amusing. He heads back up the hill to his ship, Fate following. As he hits the button to close the canopy, he sees a text message on his computer screen. Thanks for telling me where you are.</sarcasm> Eru Amonost sighs and turns on S2S. Amonost: Eru? Eruantion: ABOUT TIME! Amonost: I have her. Eruantion: Sweet! Meet you back at-- Amonost: No. We're going back to Flistna. Eruantion: Huh? Amonost: We can't take this contract. We need to find Leon Mecheeto-- Eruantion: I know. YOU wanted to take this other contract! Amonost: We need to find him because this girl is his SISTER and he was FRAMED! There's silence. Eruantion: Oh.
