Iachen

I've been busy with pre-deployment training. It's rather unfortunate but at this time I cannot run Kolerin. I have to hand the RP over. Sorry guys. I might also have to hand Iachen as well if these things get more and more frequent which I'm betting they will in the near future.)

(Look, I can run Iachen, since you and I made it together, but I don't want Kolerin. Chirpy, Sil, and I can all run it together, since that's how the Underground works.)

That works. Though I do agree with Chirpy that Kolerin is on it's last leg. The Underground should be the final arc.)

(Yeah, and I would like Underground to go out with a bang. Iachen will be the main focus, I think.

You think you'll still RP a bit?)

(When I can hopefully)

"Fine. Just minor burns." Donny replied, wiping sweat off his brow, "Goddamn... That was one way to start the morning."

Gabrielle stood off to the side, "Um, Captain...? That... Was kind of my fault... They were after me."

Tasia informed her crew about what happened, and planned to track the ship down. She didn't necessarily want to attack right away, though, because she knew that they would be ready for them. Catching Zephyr by suprise would be the best way to get Gabrielle back.

(That's good. ^^' Not the sore throat thing, though.)

"What do you mean? What could my brother want with you?" Zephyr asked.

"I'm possibly one of Iachen's most wanted 'criminals' right now. I dunno how into politics you are, but I'm Gabrielle Maira. My family had their own rebel group against the Iachen government, but... They found out. And they're gone. So he, and that other woman, were after me for their money."

"How much are you talking?" Donny asked, curious. 

"I would say a few million or so for me alive."

(Now let's hope nobody suggests collecting the bounty... XD)

"A few million?!" Zephyr exclaimed, "It's a wonder my brother went to such lengths...even so far as to risk a confrontation with me."

He turned to Donny with a stern look on his face, "We've gotta keep her out of their hands, if she knows stuff about the corruption..."-he trailed off not wanting to think about their old ship and the suicide mission they'd embarked on about two years ago.

(Gabrielle: Zephyr, I swear to God, I'll kill you in your sleep if you even consider it! >8U)

Donny nodded, while Gabby pipped in, "That's pretty much what I've been doing ever since I stepped foot on your ship, Captain. I would appreciate it if you helped me out... Does that mean... You're familiar to Iachen's corruption?" She asked, confused.

"You bet your ass I am. Two years ago, the Iachen Parliment sent us to the Achelles Traverse in the northern part of the country. We were to find a derelict merchent vessel and recover the crew. Of course, when we got out there we got ganked by 10 ships all flying Iachen colors. They shot us down. Lost a lot of good men that day."

"...Do you know why?" Did they find out something they weren't supposed to know?

"I've witnessed a few underhanded things about them. Paying off people to keep them quite while their policies screw over the lower classes. I've seen drug deals, arms smuggling, hell I've even seen illegal trafficking...as in people..." Zephyr explained, "So that's probably why."

Donny only nodded, remembering his own experiences with it as well... It was brutal.

"They haven't gone after you at all since you were 'supposed' to die?"

"Exactly..." Zephyr replied.

"...Look, I'll try and help you out about what happened more once you get this ship moving again. I feel like they're going to be back soon... And I don't think that'll be fun."

"Agreed."

Zephyr headed back to the Bridge, he ordered engines to full summoning the winds behind them for an extra push.

(Isn't Thias still on the windshield...?)

No they're on the main deck.)

(Right.)

Gabrielle thanked Zephyr, before watching him off, with Donny on his trail. She ended up following them from behind, thinking about the last hour or so. Gabby suddenly noticed how tired she was... And her not knowing what the hell was going to happen in the future. Truth be told, she was terrified, but thank the Gods Zephyr and his crew would help her.

(Meanwhile, the sisters are up on the deck flailing with dismay while poor Thais lays there and groans. XD)

(Yeah... o7o"

Donny: Oh yeah... MY SHIP! OAO

Gabby: ._."... Someone should help them... Seriously.)

If Donny had a child which would he care about more? The kid or the ship?)

(Donny: >A>"...

Honestly, I dunno. ouo' He doesn't have any kids (yet), so... Only time will tell. If you know what I mean

Donny: ... .////.")

(BABIES!)
