Tracking the marine he had given the headset to was an automatic function for Kane so he was not tricked by the appearance change, but seeing the man covered in still wet multi-colored paint caused Kane to reassess the threat level of this Duke character. Normally any group of themed criminals or pirates was of lower effectiveness but it seemed this man had set a rainbow paint bomb of some sort outside. Pretty much the local equivalent to dumping a huge pile of money everywhere, the scramble for it would cause the crowds to interfere with any arriving marines or police. Duke's reaction to Kane's intercepting his shot was swift. The man gave a heavy kick to Kane's lower torso which almost lifted the cyborg off the ground. Only his heavy weight and superior balance because of his multiple legs saved him from being flipped over onto his back and now Kane had the advantage. His hand snapped out and grabbed at Duke's foot and pushed upward on it, adding to the man's momentum. To keep from being knocked down or flipped over himself Duke had to hop back which meant the man had a foot down on the oil slick Kane had left. The man was too experienced to be taken down by what was effectively a toy weapon so he did not fall but the momentary opening carried forward and Kane charged, with his finger knives extended, ramming the blades at Duke's torso aiming to pierce into and lock onto the man. Kane had no difficulty whatsoever dealing with the slick, the ground saving caps on the tips of his legs were already broken off meaning every step bit deep into the wooden floor. He had more than enough traction as had been intended when had first designed that weapon. "I advise you to surrender before you are seriously injured." Kane warned the man. |

"KUH!" Another rainbow colored ninja froze as a diagonal slash had viciously cut through his anterior body. He collapsed onto the slick floor with his partner, who also held a similarly fresh diagonal wound upon his body but marked at an opposite direction. As the ninja fell to his blackness, Sebastian stood in front of them as he observed his messy handiwork. He ceased his weave attack, seeing as there were no more ninjas that attacked him. He suddenly became alarmed at the bashful sounds behind him. Turning his head around, he could see both Kane and Duke fighting at a much higher scale from a few feet away. The two fought with intensity as Sebastian inhaled deeply to get a hold of himself. These two were fighting at a completely different league, something Sebastian has rarely observed before, but could never comprehend. After all, this was the Grand Line. When Kane had brought out his finger knives to attack, Duke reacted swiftly and firmly gripped onto the cyborg's arm before he could pierce him. With a triumphant force, Duke lifted Kane up slightly from the ground level, even lifting his mechanical feet that was briefly attached to the wooden floor. "You ain't normal. Neither am I." Duke then slammed Kane down to the floor. Quickly after, he brought out his dangerous shotgun and pointed it at Kane's head. "Let's see how resilient your brain is though." Reacting promptly, Sebastian had wanted to help Kane and make sure that Duke didn't deliver his attack. However, he heard a cry for help at the corner of his ear. Once again turning away, he saw Mr. Welsh being taken away by the last two remaining ninjas. He quickly looked back to where he initially was, to which he saw a very ghastly sight of a slain guard, colored exuberantly with both extravagance and blood. Sebastian gnashed his teeth and cursed as he quickly diverted his attention away from both Kane and Duke. He ran towards his captive client, while try to leave behind an unsettling thought. Hopefully that centaur anomaly is fine. Besides, I don't stand a chance against that guy! The best I can do is carry out my mission and prevent at least one innocent death. It's better than none after all. If Kane loses here, I just need to run away with Mr. Welsh as far as possible. Otherwise, we're toast and I'm not becoming someone's breakfast today. This was planning ahead at its finest, one of the few times that Sebastian decided to not be lazy. After all, his life was in jeopardy here. To increase his speed, Sebastian used the oil slick and slid through it like he was ice skating. Towards the entrance, the slippery liquid had ended. He jumped high into the air and approached the two ninjas who had their back on him. With his right hand, Sebastian unleashed a furious attack with his shuriken by throwing it forward. It cleanly thrashed one of the ninjas, who instantly fell onto the floor from the attack.
The other ninja was alerted as he looked back at the incoming Marine. Sebastian brought forth his left hand and swung downward with his other shuriken at the remaining ninja. However, his enemy was swift enough to block the attack with his katana, resulting in a brief deadlock. After Sebastian had used his right shuriken to take out the first ninja, he had quickly used his rope to swing under his arm and arched it around his body. Using the most of his upper body strength while still engaging in a standoff with the ninja, he closed the proximity of his windmill shuriken, brought it down to execute his attack, and landed roughly on his feet.. With nothing else to guard the poor ninja, Sebastian cleanly slashed his opponent. The rainbow colors lost momentum as it fell to the ground. Sebastian breathed heavily from his finished combat. It wasn't exactly a great execution, but it worked. He then glanced at Mr. Welsh, who had fell on his behind. He placed both of his shurikens on his back and offered his hand to help Mr. Welsh up, to which the man quickly accepted. "Mr. Welsh, are you OK?" As much as he wanted to curse the souls of this man for bringing him here to this obscene location, he had to act politely as this was his client. The man looked rather decent as he wore glasses and was also wearing extravagant colors, but in a much darker hue. Compared to the ninja's bright colors, Mr. Welsh wore more of an orange, red, and yellow design. It looked...Sebastian couldn't exactly put the word together, but it was more "subtle". Regardless, Mr. Welsh looked quite fragile as well as he was still shaking from the previous encounter. It seems this guy does not have any knowledge of how to fight. "I think I'm good. Thank you." Well, at least he was polite back. Sebastian then looked back briefly to the extraordinary fight behind them. It was now just those two in the restaurants while everyone had either evacuated or was slain. He put his right arm behind Mr. Welsh's back and gently pushed him forward out of the entrance. They needed to act in urgency and group with the incoming Marine reinforcements. "Mr. Welsh, we need to leave. You're currently my priority to protect right now." Mr. Welsh looked up with an intrigued expression. "Are you my Engineer?" "Yes, I am. You can fill me in the details later." A wave of relief overcame his client's expression. "Oh thank God. I was going to send another letter before coming to this restaurant that you didn't need to come here since I had hired a On the other hand, Sebastian didn't take this as a laughing matter at all. He had almost paused, wanting to punch the living daylights out of this man. Did he seriously come here to almost become this man's scapegoat? This little fucker...

Duke's speed and strength were a bad thing but not completely unexpected so when Duke grabbed his arm Kane locked all of his joints in place to prevent them from being damaged even if it allowed him to be lifted off the ground one-handed. As he was slammed down Kane easily used his legs as shock absorbers, letting resist the blow but reduce the force greatly. The bigger problem was the shotgun pointed right at his head now, twisting his head Kane was rocked by the unavoidable shot which cracked his skull and knocked the white featureless mask off his face. Using his tail Kane grabbed the barrel of the weapon and pulled it away so the man could not fire any additional rounds and the cyborg checked the surroundings. Mr. Welsh was near an exit and had the marine from outside assisting him so this was good. Surprisingly quickly Kane's head rotated to face Duke and his mouth opened, the face constructed out of well oiled and supple human skin leather creaked as it moved. Inside his body he opened a valve leading to his hive module and with a small pressure blast from his oxygenation module Kane spewed a swarm of high velocity pissed off wasps right into Duke's face. "All civilians should clear the building immediately!" He warned, since his mouth was not needed for talking the wasp spewing was not interfering with what he was saying. Using his headset Kane sent a message directly to the marine. "Get Mr. Welsh to safety immediately, this structure is about to become very uninhabitable." This was going to be an understatement, Kane could not tell if it was the attackers or blindly escaping civilians who caused it but someone had knocked over several lamps and the licks of flame were already visible even if the other combatants may not have noticed it. The man Kane was fighting overmatched him in nearly every way except sheer durability. Kane was immune to the fire, he did not expect Duke to be as well. |

"Come on, come on. We have to get out of here." From the sounds of some gunshots and ensued slugging sounds, the fight was still active and obviously dangerous at an extreme level. Sebastian had placed more emphasis on guiding Mr. Welsh with his right hand and safely out of the restaurant. Outside, the surroundings only changed slightly from when Sebastian had initially entered the restaurant. The only difference this time was a massive conglomeration of citizens that were grouped around at the splattered paint where the motor had self-destructed. Some of them were frantically trying to pick up whatever paint that still remained while others even worshipped it. Although the interior of the restaurant had been cleared (except the two fighters), the citizens had all ignored Kane's words to leave near the entrance. The obsession had sickened Sebastian as he tried to clear through the way. "You wanna tell me why I was assigned to you?" Sebastian asked in an irritated matter as he shoved the lightweight citizens out of the way. "I needed an Engineer who is great at building ships. I have developed a blueprint to build...amazing technology that would bait out the KKK. An effective way to subdue them for a long period!" "Lemme guess. This blueprint is highly contested by some people, such as the KKK themselves?" They were now a reasonable distance away from the restaurant, to which the pair paused to catch a breath. "Correct." That still doesn't explain one peculiar question. If the KKK was said to be highly concentrated in this town... "Why would you want to jeopardize your life and plans here? Was there any motive to coming here?" Mr. Welsh was ready to speak before... *ZIT* Mr. Welsh suddenly twitched in an alarming matter, lopsiding the direction of his eyeballs while exaggeratingly sticking out his tongue. Sebastian scowled and widened his eyes as he saw the tiny source of Welsh's interruption. A lone wasp; it had strangely escaped from the restaurant after attacking Duke...and for some reason, it viciously stung at Welsh's shoulder. Sebastian dumbly watched as the wasp flew away at its bumbling speed. "...You're going to have give me a second...wow, this hurts." However, Sebastian ignored his words when Kane had spoken to the communication device. He was still wearing the headset, so he intently listened to the warning that Kane had given off. The Marine's response was instantaneous as he had just traversed through the citizens. They were still within dangerous proximity of the restaurant. He turned his back away from Mr. Welsh and immediately ran towards the group of innocent citizens. He wasn't sure how much he could save, but he screamed with desperation. "HEY, YOU NARCISSISTIC EXCUSE OF WHITE CRACKERS, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! THAT BUILDING IS GOING TO BLOW!" |

For the first time in this encounter Kane saw a change in emotion in Duke's expression when the bandit saw the wasps come out. At this range and without a head start the man was not able to dodge the stream and the enraged insects tore into his face, stinging and ripping at flesh with their jaws. The man's eyes swelled shut and he tried to stumble towards the exit but Kane was not willing to let this dance end quite yet. He was completely unaffected by his own attack since his body was entirely made of solid materials with no exposed flesh whatsoever so was able to move to block the other man's exit without problem. "I am afraid I cannot let you leave until you have either surrendered or have been rendered completely helpless." Kane considered for a moment. "Or dead, that would be fine too since I don't need any information from you." Weaving to one side Kane avoided a blast from Duke's shotgun as the man, in great pain, fired blindly at the source of Kane's voice. It would not have mattered if the shot had connected though with Kane now in striking range. Both of his hands stabbed out with finger knives extended intending to hook into him in an inescapable grip. The tips pierced the man's coat and shirt but scraped along metal beneath, Duke was either wearing armor or was a cyborg. Again the man's boot came up at Kane's torso but Kane pushed forward instead driving Duke further away from safety as suddenly the flames went from small to rapidly filling the room! The bandit was obviously starting to feel the heat and Duke somehow forced his eyes open against the swelling from the wasp stings to get a look at the situation. Kane was not about to let a moment's distraction go to waste and lined up his own shot, the target was Duke's weapon which may have been proven ineffective so far but there was no sense taking the risk. Expending a pair of fuel charges his hand shot out and stabbed into the weapon, which may have been stronger than his attack but he was aiming for the mechanical components and one of his fingers stuck into it and was quickly disconnected from Kane's hand leaving the weapon jammed and useless.

*BOOM* Sebastian's inevitable fears became realized when he saw the front entrance erupt into a fiery blast of fire. It blew up nearly half of the front entrance, with only the windows and infrastructure of the walls keeping the restaurant intact. While the flames inside the restaurant may have caused the explosion, it didn't have enough range to directly affect both Kane and Duke. However, the damage had already been done. The blast was within proximity of the group that had gathered around the extravagant colors of leftover paint. Sebastian was too late to warn the citizens any further, albeit his efforts were in vain. Bloodcurdling screams and agony enveloped the atmosphere as the entire group was virtually caught within the outburst. Almost half of the group was literally lit up in flames, dancing around like in a cult tribal ritual. The rest were either severely burned or miraculously unharmed. The crowd behind Sebastian exclaimed in fear as they saw the morbid scene unravel before them. He kicked the ground and cursed in fury. Sebastian could only watch in disgust as he paused for a moment to absorb the poor incident. This was straight-up garbage. The citizens were literally brainwashed into oblivion upon seeing the paint, was there anything he could have done to save them? Sebastian growled and shook his head in disdain. No...I have to save as many as possible right now. "Sir!" This caught Sebastian's attention as he turned around to face the source. Standing a few meters behind him were a batallion of about 10 Marines, all with standard Marine caps covering their eyes. They all stood tall proudly, weirdly saluting to Sebastian (because he wasn't even an officer). They seem absolutely unfazed that people were currently dying. "Marines reporting for duty!" They just fucking stood there like popsicle sticks. The effect was instantaneous. Sebastian popped his eyes out in a mix of surprise and disbelief. His mouth opened a foot wide with each word he spoke as he pointed to the burning flailers. "ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU FUCKERS CAME! Don't you see people dying!!!?? HELP THEM!" The Marines all exclaimed in return and quickly dispersed to their recently "assigned" duty. Sebastian gave out a scoff as they passed him to help the people behind. Seriously, how dense do you have to be..." He shook his head slightly before also joining the good cause. He came across a burning man and took off his [newly] painted jacket to fan out the flames. "Hey, hey, I got you! You'll be fine!" He had to admit, he wasn't being completely honest. Unfuckingbelievable. |

The temperature suddenly increased as the flames suddenly expanded like an explosion. Kane released air from his oxygenation module to keep his core temperature cool and as Duke stumbled away from the worst of the heat Kane took the chance to pull his leather face off and lock it safely away into his chest cavity. Now the bandit leader was making progress to safety which Kane had to stop. This man was not done yet, he had to be kept in the oven a while longer to cook through more thoroughly. "Is the heat getting to you already?" He asked as he charged forward, along the way Kane picked up a heavy burning beam that had fallen from the ceiling and swung it like a baseball bat. Duke roared something that was not identifiable among the overwhelming noise of the raging inferno and Kane was once again put on the defensive. It was clear to Kane though that this plan had been the correct one, while the man still outmatched him for power Duke was obviously suffering greatly. Even if the heat could be ignored the man was still breathing in a lot of smoke and smouldering ashes and coughing heavily while being unsteady on his feet. Kane still felt a heavy jolt as the beam he swung was smashed into burning splinters by a single splitting blow and he had to throw the remaining chunk he was holding onto just before he again clashed with Duke. A couple heavy blows from Duke's fists dented Kane's torso heavily and for a moment his visual system shut itself down, returning in time to see the building begin to collapse. Below Duke the floor gave in and he vanished from sight into the cellar area. Kane did a quick mental calculation and decided the risk of being trapped down there for possibly several days was not worth going after the man. Following the logic that if he didn't see the person actually die that they will usually return for revenge Kane marked the man as having escaped before he packaged the battle footage and transmitted it to the marines and stepped out of the collapsing building to see if the marine had managed to get Mr Welsh to safety. |

"Heeeeelp!" That hopeless scream did not sound good at all. Wait a minute... Shit. He left Mr. Welsh alone like he left a 5 year old in the middle of Times Square. After Seb had fanned out the flames before it could immolate the citizen, he turned his attention towards where Mr. Welsh stood. Well, now it's where he used to stood. Mr. Welsh was nowhere to be seen. Sebastian ran to the area of where he was with his client and desperately looked around. He tried to use his human-limited sonar ability to track down of where he heard the "helpless" exclaim. Then, at the corner of his eye, he saw two figures running a few meters away. There was a rainbow colored ninja, grabbing Mr. Welsh by the collar and dragging him across the road. Mr. Welsh's eyes boggled as he held out his arms as if he wanted to hug someone. Seb's eyebrows shifted uneasily, not due to the fact that Mr. Welsh was acting like a 10 year old, but the fact that the citizens weren't doing anything to intervene. Was it because of the bright colors? Seb shook his head as he madly pursued the ninja. He ran a few meters and as he gradually got closer and closer to his target, Sebastian recognized the ninja as the very first guy he had beaten up before entering the restaurant. Looks like he recovered to finish the job. The ninja looked back to finally see that he was being pursued. Through his mask, the ninja popped out his eyes in surprise as he jokingly increased his pace, dragging along Mr. Welsh's ass across the ground with higher friction. Seb widened his eyes in reaction and also picked up his pace, running like an Olympic athlete with both of his windmill shurikens in his hands. "Bitch! You better come back here you son of a unicorn bitch!" |

Coming out of the ruined and still burning building Kane took a moment to take stock of the situation around him. The civilians had apparently been completely lacking in any sense of safety or self preservation and the invisible hand of Darwin had struck them down. Even among the injured there were still civilians attempting to loot, it was rather ridiculous at this point and Kane snapped to a quick conclusion. He transmitted to the marine through his headset. "The paint may contain drugs, I recommend removing it from yourself as quickly as possible and direct all hands to getting the civilians away." Mr. Welsh was quickly being pulled out of the area and Kane was about to turn to pursue when the buildings to either side of the road between him and the kidnap victim burst open as timed explosives demolished them and filled the streets with rubble. Immune to the cloud of blinding dust Kane was quickly able to determine that in the chaos the ninja with his target had vanished from view and there was no way of knowing whether they had gone into underground tunnels or one of the same looking structures to either side. It was time to call off the chase, obviously there had been a lot more planning in place than it had at first seemed, Welsh's habits in coming to the same place consistently had allowed his enemies to get nearly every advantage. Taking stock of his supplies and remaining combat readiness there was not much Kane found encouraging. It would take a while for his dial to recharge, having almost entirely expended and while he suffered minimal actual damage from the fire the fight with Duke had inflicted joint stress and dents which he would want repaired. A minimal weapon loadout meant he was also not capable of extended duration combat. It was time to pull off and repair, resupply and work on a plan. |

I got you now! It was quite unfortunate that Seb had that optimistic thought as he was almost in arm's length of Mr. Welsh's flailing arms. He then reached out his hand, connecting successfully to his client's hand. Seb smirked upon his successful contact. YOSH! But before he could snatch away his princess from the ninja's grasps, the timed explosives kicked in. The rubble fell quickly upon Seb and the ninja. Seb snarled as he held back his entire body, immediately letting go of Welsh. He narrowly avoided the multiple ton of blasted pieces that clattered to the ground. Citizens around either ran away frenetically or were crushed by the demolition. Seb had luckily made it through the explosion, but he was contained within the rubble. He shook his body from the gray dust and arose from the rubble, becoming relatively thankful that the additional rubble were all light. By the time the smoke gave him a more proper vision, Welsh and the ninja were nowhere to be found. He cursed at how close he was to saving his client, angrily kicking a steel beam in frustration. He replayed a small memory, moments before the explosion. For a quick second, he could see glittering hope on Welsh's face. Only for it to instantly disappear when the destroyed building had separated him. He clenched his fist in disappointment. *Crackle...* An exclamation mark appeared on top of Seb's head as he heard the new sound. He felt something new on his fists as his right hand felt rough material. Unfastening his fist, he could see a crumpled up blue-colored paper. Seb looked at it with a puzzled expression, wondering how the paper had magically appeared in his hand. He widened his eyes as he had remembered he had connected his hands with Mr. Welsh. He had been holding something the entire time to pass off to. Something that had to be important. He smoothened the paper out, expanding it at its maximum to a letter-size. The paper seemed to be a ripped up blueprint of some sort. There were details and formulas sprawled all over the sheet. As Sebastian made some quickly observations, he was at a loss for words. He was simply amazed at the complexity of the fragmented project, despite the fact that he was missing the other half of the blueprint. He had to show this to Kane. I guess he's my partner for now...for sure, he doesn't seem to be acting in opposition to the Marines. But, I still need to keep my eye out for him in case he does anything shady. He could be forwarding his own agenda for all I know. Getting out of the rubble, the Marines arrived at his location. They swiftly helped any citizens that were still alive, but marred from the explosions. In the meantime, Seb made his way towards Kane and showed the cyborg the blueprint. "Look at what Welsh left behind." Seb then pointed at one mechanic. "Seems to me that Welsh had wanted to make some sort of laser. Now, most lasers are used for optical use, but the fact that he's using a semiconductor to intensify the diodes means that he's intending to weaponize it. I'm not entirely certain of how effective it is as I'm missing another half of it, but it still leaves some questions on why he would want to build it on his ship. Not to mention, why here? And why does he need an engineer to do this work?" He then pointed to another corner. "There's the number of his ship, we can use that to locate his ship in the docks and see what he has in work of progress. We need to find Welsh ASAP. This weapon is highly dangerous if fallen into the wrong hands." Before they could move on, Seb stopped Kane at a short notice. "You still need to explain who you are. Your name isn't enough to explain your..." Well, how could he explain Kane's appearance? "...quirkiness." |

Kane only took half a moment to understand what was on the paper the marine was showing, this had been exactly what Kane had been after in his interest in Mr Welsh and it had just been handed over with no cost other than a heavily damaged suit, some burned fuel and a couple gadgets. A copy was instantly saved to memory even as he was analyzing the device shown, and he considered simply abandoning the situation. Still there was a good possibility of getting ahold of even more and Kane had been programmed for greed after all so that thought passed him by quickly. This was obviously some high end stuff, not anything he could immediately make use of but there were other issues attached, including higher up marine involvement. Deciding to speak through the headset only Kane contacted the marine showing him the paper. "It is a good thing you decided to show me first rather than your superior officers. This would be top secret technology and would be worse because you were able to instantly figure out what it was from the design fragment. At best you might be facing a lifetime reassignment to Drum Island or some other similar backwater and at worst you might be vanished. I have worked with the marines in the past, and it is well known to not trust those of rank to look out for the interests of those they will consider to be lesser people." Pausing a few moments Kane considered how to continue to gain the best outcome then he sent a message to the marine base command that he was going to investigate one of Mr Welsh's secondary residences and requested a marine witness. An overworked dispatcher gave permission quickly, likely without bothering to check in on their higher command. "Now that's dealt with we can move. As for your final request I can answer it on the way but you will have to be much more specific than that." |

Oh fuck, what have I done? For some odd reason, it didn't cross his mind that this technology was most definitely confidential at the highest levels. And instead of giving it to his higher-ups for further examination, he gave it to this centaur freak whom seems to have other agendas in his mind. Though to be totally honest, Seb had always felt jaded of the Marines recently. It may be partly due to the fact that he doesn't take his assignments too seriously (unless if it's an Engineering assignment) since he felt like he was receiving shit from the higher-ups. Well, Kane wasn't exactly wrong too. Seb could clearly remember one of the days on training. The officers showed the recruits an entire tree branch of how the Marine ranks works. Deep below the branch was the insignificant sons of bitches known as the Marine Recruits. From the sounds of his peer members (and higher-ups), their feedback was most likely never valued. Seb knew exactly how business ran and the way the Marines function, one does not exactly fight for justice while also trying to run an organization like a business. That was unfortunately how the Marines were running their show as the higher-ups didn't seem to give a single fuck about their lower members. It was essentially your stereotypical business model. At least it was like that to Seb. Seb still wore his headset, so the communication sent to the Marine base, albeit predictably careless, was also relayed to Seb as well. He shrugged and assumed he was the Marine witness. Seb took off the headset and cautiously handed it back to Kane. This guy seemed to have a decent connection with the Marines and vast knowledge of them. But, Seb was still unsure if he could feel assured with this guy as he could turn at any given second. Even though he himself wasn't too faithful to the Marines, he didn't want to be responsible for some sort of epidemic. Seb stood firmly, still in presence of the working Marines, but far enough where their subdued voices were not audible. "You need to tell me now or you're not getting my trust. That...and well, these numbers are Grand Line shipwright codes. So unless you got some skills working on docks and ships, you won't be able to find his ship. I got all day, but I'm not sure if Mr. Welsh does." Actually, he wasn't exactly being truthful. Mr. Welsh was his client, he had an obligation to rescue him. Shit, man. Why did this fucker come here... |

Kane had not considered that it might be difficult locating the ship listed on the note so while he continued speaking with the Marine he contacted the port authority and got a copy of the harbor listing of every ship there. While the request was processing Kane had to deal with the marine, either to quickly convince the man to assist or to get him out of the way while Kane could work. He waved off the marine's attempt at returning the headset. "Use that to contact the base for more information on me and what I have done if you want, I do not have proof so what I say will not be convincing on its own. Now from public records I have already determined the most likely vessel to be his that match that code and that have been in dock for the correct timeframe meaning I may be incorrect and if the people who have taken Mr. Welsh have the correct information, which is extremely likely if they have been following his movements, they will get to the ship and any design plans, possibly even test examples or even finished weapons will be theirs for the taking." Knowing that he really did not have time to be dealing with this Kane was ready to give this marine up and head out himself regardless of whether the man followed or not. He still had to detour to his lab for more fuel and limb replacement which would not take more than a few minutes. "In fact there is no more time for indecisiveness. Keep the headset, do as I said to discover the truth as you make your way there while I re-equip. I expect I can make it to the place in short order." Turning away Kane began to rush back towards the building he had rented for his makeshift lab. |

Seb's eyes were glued to Kane's composure as he began to walk...no, not walk, crawl away from him. Seb felt slightly irritated that this guy had nearly everything accessible to him. Even without the knowledge of certain professions, he could easily obtain knowledge. Was he even authorized for that kind of gear? It made him feel more and more uneasy about him. Even so, Seb did keep the headset with him. Kane had brought up a good point regardless, either they were going to meaninglessly debate about ethics or actually save the world from being decimated to pieces by a dangerous technology. Prioritizing his thoughts, Seb concluded he could learn more about centaur freak later. As Seb followed Kane from behind, he wore on the headset and contacted Marine HQ. He was fully aware that Kane was listening to him, but why would Kane suggest for him to ask about his credentials anyways? "Sir, can I get a debrief of the cyborg Kane's past accomplishments?" Within the next minute, feeds of unexpected information flowed into Seb's memory bank. Unbelievable. He assisted in the attempts of standing up against one of the biggest show-time pirates, Harlequin Clarabell. In addition, he defeated a giant mecha robot, a story he's actually heard from a news report. So he was responsible for taking that monstrosity down? He even fought fucking zombies! Holy shit, what? Zombies are real? His expression turned blank as he clicked the headset to hang up. These were far from mediocre, this guy had gone through some epic shit. Holy hell, he's a lot scary than Seb had anticipated. It sent shivers down his bones, despite his seemingly moral accomplishments. Now Seb felt conflicted between his trust and Kane's massive experience. Seb has heard multiple stories about double-agent Marines, striking at the most critical moment. Straight-up, it was just too good to be true. Seriously...think more about this after you rescue your client... ... When did I get so mellow? Man, back to the irritating cussing. This piece of shit is suspicious as fuck! Well, that'll do. Seb followed Kane to a location in Turpintown, now far away from the messy scene that the remaining Marines now had to clean up. The area was completely unknown to Seb, and he's read multiple stories about following strangers into the dark, especially if said stranger has 6 fucking mechanical legs. "I'm gonna wait for you out here!" Seb called after. He then rolled his eyes later as he observed his surroundings. Speaking of which, he had left his jacket with the past citizen. So now he was just wearing a blank white shirt while his pants were completely colored. He felt slightly uneasy as people were giving him weird looks. |
