<Morton> I was on the way to Laguna when the airship was shot down. These people and I tried to go to the closest stilt city, then we came across the swordsman, his mirion, and some Freak. We had a small fight and we pushed on, then your group attacked us. Can you find the medic girl who was running at the front of the group? I need my head bandaged or I might bleed to death.

*Bolask gets up and walks to Ml'Daar, collecting his bomb bag from next to Morton*
<Bolask> I hurt all over. *he looks around* Well, this looks like a slaughterhouse.

*Mira, stressed from all the explosions and gunfire, is still huddled away from the group.*
<Kadar> Miranda? I think the fighting has stopped...
<Mira> ...
<Darka> I don't think she's listening. I'll go see what's happened, you stay here...
*Darka runs over to where she last heard Morton, finding him face to face with Ml'daar.*
<Darka> Oh. Hello.

*Far enough away so that they cant hear the gunshots, but lose enough to hear the explosion, the Weswright brothers continue along their path.*

<Devin> Felix did you hear that?
<Felix> No, Im deaf.
<Devin> *Speaking in a frustrated tone* Oh shut up! You have been grumpy since yesterday!
<Felix> Wrong Ive been grumpy since yesterday when we found the same remains of another ship crash twice!!!!
<Devin> You should be happy! You never would have got a mask if we hadn't found that wreck!
<Felix> Speaking of it hurts to talk so SHUT UP LITTLE BROTHER so I don't have to argue with you.
<Devin> You could just be NICE and talk less and actually be REASONABLE when you do talk!
<Felix> Look we just gotta get to that damn settlement. We have to be close. Nothing is out here because all the Mirions settlements are back there. Lets go.

[If any Mirions are around they wont attack... Its kinda part of my weird sense of humor but if you think Im being unfair and just have to know just Pm me and Ill explain]

*Protected from the worst of the situation by the cold, damp ditch, Daimura slowly raises her head and looks over in the direction of Morton*
<Daimura> it's... over, isn't it? please tell me it's ended...

*Ml'Daar begins to talk to Bolask and Morton and then hears Darka*

<Ml'Daar> Oh, hello Mirion. I guess the Pale Man was helping you, not dragging you off to be sold. My mistake, *turns to Morton* However, although YOU'RE a Protector, I don't trust your associates in the slightest. Bolask, if you've got the energy, could you get about restraining these other lumps of meat before they regain consciousness? I'm sure you understand my position, Protector. *turns back to Darka* And I don't suppose you came from the 'front' of the pack then? Would you happen to know the whereabouts of the medic so we can patch up the Pale Man and my comrade here?

<Morton> Darka, don't translate anything about me to the humans, you know what I mean. I may be injured but if you make this complicated for me, I'll shut you up with force. *he turns to Ml'Daar* I'd prefer if you let all of us go after we've patched ourselves up. Our respirators won't run much longer, and we need to reach the city. I'm willing to pay with what I have... Three small rifles in pieces, several grenades, and two pistols, all in my bag. They run on dusk.

<Bolask> Work work work...
*He begins to tie up Van*

*upon hearing the details of Ml'Daar's plan, Daimura does as best she can to hide... although the ditch is cold, and so would fool heat-sense, she realizes how brightly colored her skirt and top are, and hurriedly tries to remove them*
<Daimura> ohh... crap... if they find me, I'm screwed... *coughs*

[worry not, she has got underwear as well!]

<Darka> Mira is with my brother Kadar. She's scared. *looks at Morton.* I don't understand all he said.

<Ml'Daar> Tell the medic I assure her she will come to no harm from me or Bolask so long as she makes no hostile efforts or movements towards us.

*Ml'Daar thinks for a few moments*

<Ml'Daar> I'm not too inclined on letting you all go so easily. I would have few problems letting you and the Mirions go, Pale Man, but these other humans I don't have nearly as much good will towards...I'm also disinclined to accept bribery, let alone what few weapons you have. I'm well aware the rest of your type aren't very well-liked in the human society, and it would be detrimental to my race as well as to you to strip you of your weaponry. I propose a compromise. There are respirators back at my village. You allow us to take you and your troupe back there, all but you blindfolded of course, for some further questioning purposes, and we'll provide fresh respirators for the humans in your party. Once we're sufficiently satisfied, and presuming your party behaves themselves, we'll escort you to the base of the stilt city of your choice, again blindfolded, and part ways. I can assure you no unprovoked harm will fall upon any of your group as long as you're under my jurisdiction.

*Darka slinks off to find Mira and Kadar. By the time she gets back, it is clear Miranda is unconscious.*
<Kadar> I didn't do anything!
<Darka> I never said you did! *She pokes Mira.* She's pretty useless. We gotta take her back to Morton and this mirion dude. *She lifts Mira's front half, whilst Kadar takes her legs. Together they semi-drag her to Morton, then Kadar runs back to get her bag.*

*Upon hearing the slight change in the situation, Daimura silently kicks herself for being so hasty... quickly pulling on her clothes again, she climbs out of the ditch and carefully approaches them, hands held in the air... the opportunity for a free respirator is just too hard for her to pass up*
<Daimura> I... I'm with these guys! yeah!... uhhhm... *coughs* you'll... want to take me along too, I... don't mind being blindfolded... *brushes some dirt off her waist*

<Morton> *carefully wipes the blood from his eye, making sure not to make any sudden movements.* It wasn't intended to be bribery, so much as fair trade. I wouldn't trade my own pistol or the soldier's one, only the ones I'm transporting as goods. Either way, what happens when we go back to your village? Are we going to be interrogated? Do you believe the rest of the humans will just be peaceful? I don't know what you are hoping to get from this situation. I'm sure we wouldn't be getting a bunch of respirators and a safe path to Cydham for free.
*As Darka and Kadar arrive with the unconscious Mira, Morton nudges her lightly, trying to wake her up. He makes an odd face when Daimura appears*
<Morton> With us? Like hell you are. Who the hell -are- you? *he looks back at Ml'Daar* Despite her claims, I've never seen this... thing before, she wasn't on the ship. The swordsman and his pet mirion also aren't part of my group. Do as you wish with them. I can't guarantee they aren't dangerous..

*By this time, Bolask has finished tieing the arms of both Van and Kayli. He returns to Ml'Daar, and looks at the unconscious medic*
<Bolask> Do I tie her up too? *he lights his pipe*

*after Bolask ties up Kayli and Van, Ml'Daar sets about disarming them to give him a break due to his wounds*

<Ml'Daar> No, Bolask, we need her to tend to the Pale Man, and maybe we can borrow some of her supplies to aid you too. Anyway, yes, you and your group will likely be interrogated Pale Man. And no, your two friends here have already shown themselves to be quite hostile, which is why I ordered them bound. We'll also be disarming them, and as I said, no unprovoked harm will befall any of you at the village while you're under my jurisdiction. Should your company be uncooperative and act out, that's another story and I can't account for the troublemaker's well-being.

All I plan on getting here is information, and being able to present my village chief with the opportunity to talk with a Protector. If you were not amongst these ragtags, I would have already dragged them off or killed them all, but seeing as they're with a Protector I'm willing to give them a slight chance and token of good will, in hopes they'll pull their heads out of their asses and get over their superiority complexes whilst in your company, which would mean more allies for my people. Therefore, in a sense, this is a barter. You give us information and don't start trouble, we give you new respirators and send you on your way. They'd better be thankful when they wake up that you're here, or they wouldn't have.


*Ml'Daar turns to Daimura*

<Ml'Daar> And who, or what, are you? If you're not with his party, why should I trust you or bring you along? In fact, give me one good reason why I shouldn't blast you right now.
