A Rigged Meeting

Seven hours after leaving Flistna, headed for Ellix, Amonost groans.

Amonost: We should have gotten a transport.
Eruantion: Yup.

Amonost flicks out his Calypso Jr. and starts picking dirt out from under his fingernails. A few ion blasts rock his ship.

Amonost: AUUGH!!! FRAK!
Eruantion: What?!

Eruantion turns and surveys the area for hostiles.

Amonost: Something hit me and I STABBED myself right in the NAIL BED! DANG it, that freaking HURT!

Another blast hits his ship. He tosses the knife into the back and takes evasive maneuvers.

Eruantion: Bogey, three-four.
Amonost: Not again.

He pauses.

Amonost: Oh. You... have GOT... To be kidding me.

They see a T5 Galaxy headed their way. It starts firing missiles.

Eruantion: Missiles incoming.
Amonost: I see 'em.

They dodge the missiles with ease. The missiles detonate promptly behind them. Eruantion's instruments flicker and Amonost's rear camera display goes out.

Amonost: Umm...
Eruantion: They're tossing EMMs at us. They want our ships intact.
Amonost: Alright, time for 3c.
Eruantion: 3c? Oh. Right.

Two more missiles detonate. Just as they do, Eruantion and Amonost shut down all their systems. Amonost smiles to himself. The T5 flies closer, the side door opens, and two men jump out carrying cables. Eru and Amon turn everything back on, shoot the cables, and fly directly into the ship. They gun down several pirates inside and do some damage to some arbitrary crates. Eru sets down, jumps to the door control panel, and closes it. The T5's cargo bay automatically engages life support and Amonost hops out with his Cx4.

Amonost: They can open the doors from the cockpit, so keep your helmet on. Toss whatever's good into the Epic.

He quickly checks his Cx4's chamber and heads through a door.

Eruantion digs through some crates, finding two Bushmaster Type 21Ss, three Orion PDS charges, two jammer grenades, a frag grenade, and a plasma grenade. Everything else is pretty much garbage. He tosses them all into the back of Amonost's ship (after tossing some old, smelly clothes and an empty, steaming pizza box out). He unholsters his Px4 and runs through the same door Amonost did a few minutes ago. Amonost runs into him just as he steps through the door, blasters bolts flying past.

Amonost: RUN!!

They run to their ships, Eruantion going last so he can open the doors. Atmosphere drains back into the life support system and artificial gravity turns off.

Amonost: I pretty much got pinned in somebody's bedroom that entire time, so we're going to want to go around and take their engines.
Eruantion: Sounds good to me.

They exit the ship and promptly fly around back. The ship flies away then enters hyperspace.

Amonost: Oh man, we are just that good.
Eruantion: ...No. No we aren't. Look up.
Amonost: ...WHAT?!

An EE1 has just exited hyperspace above them.

Amonost: Oh my gosh.

The ship completely ignores them. They continue on their way.

Shortly thereafter, Amon and Eru arrive on Ellix.

Eruantion: I got directions to Fort Abercrombie. I didn't get any information on any Charlie Riggs.
Amonost: Oh well. We'll see what we can find.
Eruantion: They're not just going to let us into this fort.
Amonost: They will if we enlist.

Eruantion snorts.

Eruantion: They might let us arrange a meeting... somehow. I'm not too well-versed in Ellixan military procedure.
Amonost: They can't beat Amon's wheeling-and-dealing charm.

Eruantion laughs ridiculingly.

Amonost: I'm telling you, I'll get us in.
Eruantion: Fine, fine...

His tone descends into a grumble.

Eruantion: You have done it before...

Amonost's voice sounds arrogant.

Amonost: Thank you.

From his tone, it's obvious he's smiling to himself. They soon land.

--Later.--

Amon and Eru are being escorted to an aluminum building inside Fort Abercrombie.

Eruantion: Remind me how we got in here.
Amonost: Your guess is as good as mine.

RE: A Rigged Meeting

They walk in about 20 feet and there is a security station. They are told that they need to remove all the metallic items they are carrying... Keys, loose change.
They wind up taking off their guns and knives and such, trying to stay out of trouble for a little while.

They are led down a short hall and taken to a small room with three chairs and a desk. They are told that Riggs would be in with them shortly.
About forty minutes later he comes in.

Riggs: Sorry about the wait. How can I help you?
Eruantion: Yes, we're here looking for information on a man named Leon Mecheeto. Would you happen to know anything about him?

Charlie: Mecheeto?

Charlie squints.

Charlie: He was stationed in Parberry West back when he was Lieutenant Colonel.
Eruantion: Where is he now?

Amonost glances at Eruantion.

Charlie: As far as I'm concerned, he should be six feet under. He was dishonorably discharged and he's a war criminal now.
Eruantion: What did he do?
Charlie: ...That's classified.

Amonost fights to not roll his eyes.

Amonost: Okay then. What if we told you we're here to clear his name?

Charlie raises an eyebrow and leans forward on the desk.

Charlie: You'd pique my interest, but I am busy. What do you know about Mecheeto?
Amonost: That he escaped one of the highest security prisons on Ellix, then Moh'la, as well as evaded probably every mercenary in the Blizzard system. I also know he's innocent.
Charlie: And how would you know that?
Amonost: I've got ways.
Charlie: I don't have time for games.
Amonost: Then come with us.
Charlie: Where?
Amonost: Off-world. I can't tell you now. It's classified.

Charlie scowls.

RE: A Rigged Meeting

Being several months after the mission started, the have now finished it. But I will proceed to try and explain to you what happened. The good... The bad... And the absolutely monsterous.

It goes something along the lines of this, but possibly not entirely, as my mind is a bit leaky when it comes to things such as this. It comes with old age, you know.

---

They all leave the office together. Charlie tells the secretary not to have him bothered, and that he should be back in a few days. She looks a bit worried at him, but he tells her it'll be alright.

The proceed to the ships, when they suddenly realize that there is no room for Charlie.

And the story dies again.
