So This is What We've Got To Work With, Huh?
The man known only as the Elusive Man sits in his chair on the other side of the holographic relay projector, his features wreathed in shadow except for two glowing emerald green eyes. He watches young Cyrus navigate the controls of the Cerberus Ship Normandy II  and admires the fact that the kid can handle it. That was good. After two billions credits worth of technological developments and upgrades, someone had best be able to fly that ship.

"Cyrus, you'll be under Urdrex's command while you two are recruiting the rest of the team. Don't take any unnecessary chances, you two. Find the people in the dossiers and get them to Omega as soon as possible; we don't have time to waste. Another colony has just been hit and if we don't do something about this soon, the rest of the universe is in a lot of trouble.

Are we clear?" the shadowed figure asks, sitting back in his chair.

The young boy nods. The ship had been a wonderful hook. While his own ship is off somewhere where he can still get to if he needs to he still needed some way of making his way through this universe.

It helped he could hear the ship humming in the back of his mind. It was a very cool little ship. "Yes sir. Can Urdex pass as an adult on Earth? By the different governments of Earth's standards I'm not legally an adult on their world. We don't need this mission getting interrupted because I'm a little young."

He still really hasn't read the dossiers yet. He can do that once their flight is fully charted. His implants can do the background stuff as needed.

"Urdrex should be fine, as long as he doesn't start any fights." The Elusive Man says, looking at the Krogan.

"Other than that, you two should have whatever you need. If you come across any Green or Blue Lanterns, pull out of the mission immediately and contact me. We don't need the trouble. Get the people, rendezvous on Omega." the Elusive Man says.

The communication line is cut, leaving Cyrus and Urdrex to themselves for a moment.

"I hate when he does that. 'No fights, Urdrex. Don't be yourself, Urdrex. No disintegrations, Urdrex.' Bah! I feel like I'm bein' neutered!" the giant Krogan complains.

Of course, he makes the same complaints every mission, and the whole crew hears about them.

"So, kid. What's Earth /really/ like? Are the fights good? Can I bet on 'em? I heard they have whole wars over patches of dirt. Are they good wars? Do they pay well?" Urdrex asks.

Cyrus had been warned about this. He was going to do the whole not a kid thing again but just frowns. He is well aware that he is the youngest crew member. To them he is pretty much their boy genius.

"Yes there are some pretty serious wars. And they're more than just over patches of dirt. Over resources and ideals. Also power.And they tend to not hire mercenaries, as far as I know. I didn't grow up on Earth. My parents had me on that ship I got docked back on Omega."

He doesn't like talking about his time there. It was embarrassing how much the locals treated him like a wet behind the ears kid. He thumbs through one of the dossiers. "Wait. We're recruiting one of the Indigo Tribe but he doesn't want us getting caught by the local Blue and Green Lanterns? Is he nuts? Lanterns tend to stick together."

After Finding a Local Tavern...
[info]dc_misc
2010-08-30 11:55 pm UTC (link)
Soon enough, he's headed down to the surface of the planet. Really, how do they get along without freakin' spaceports? And combustion engines? The Thanagarians tried to invade this dump?

He'd never understand it.

Parking the ship in the middle of a street (for lack of a better place), Urdrex walks into the nearest bar.

When he steps in, the entire place goes dead silent, which is how he likes it.

"All right, listen up. I'm lookin' for a woman by the name of Aleea Strange. This is her." he says, holding up the photo.

"If you know where she is, point me to her and I'll be on my way. I ain't lookin' for trouble."

Rex Stewart is having a bad day. A really bad month.

His sister is...yeah. She's also dating a Lord.

The girl he wants to date has no clue he's alive.

His mother is still pissed at him for not telling her his sister got kidnapped. Oh, his sister got kidnapped by some jerk who wanted to breed with her, and managed to beat Rex's ass six ways from Sunday.

Oh, and did he mention that he hasn't had a good fight in a week? All of these things blend together to push Rex to break his vow of sobriety (not that he's a drunk or anything, but still) and he tells Sam to start him up with a round of shots, passing the bartender his home phone number.

Rex is on his eleventh beer when the Krogan--why is a Krogan here?-- walks in.

And he's asking for Aleea.

Now, Rex could keep quiet, say nothing, and just let this pass. In fact, it would probably be smart if he did. But Space Case's dad sent her here to keep her from whatever crap was brewing on Rann. Krogan are mercenaries of the highest order.

And really, when has Rex ever done the smart thing over a chance at fight. He stands up, takes off his coat, and looks at the Krogan.

"She ain't your type. She doesn't do scales." he says, to the shock of everyone in the bar.

"Well lookit, here. We got ourselves a comedian." Urdrex says, taking a step or two into the bar. Everyone can see the hardware he's carrying and people start backing away and moving around him to get to the door.

"I'm guessin' you know her, funny guy? Or do you just stick your nose where it don't belong whenever you feel like it?" Urdrex asks.

"A little bit of column A, little bit of Column B." Rex says, taking another sip of beer. By now, the bar has cleared out with the exception of Sam, Rex and Urdrex. It seems that Rex is the only who wants to mess with the Krogan on this night.

"How about you turn around, get back in whatever jalopy you came in, and float your big alien ass back to whatever planet you come from. Tell your boss that the woman is off limits and leave it at that." Rex says, downing the rest of his beer.

Rex Stewart goes sailing through the plate glass window to land on the sidewalk and roll into to a stop in the street in the midst of a crowd of onlookers.

There's a roar from inside the bar and Urdrex comes thundering outside.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, HUMAN?!" the Krogan yells as he stomps his way toward Rex.

Okay, calling him a coward with no balls might have been overdoing it, Rex.

"Um, am I speaking to Nicolette or Aleea?" Sam asks.

Eight hours latter, Ungara space

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. We are approaching Ungara space," he chimes over the intercom system. "I'm setting us into orbit. Miss Strange? If you'd head down to the lower deck, I'll meet you at the shuttle. I don't know about you but I like a nice ride. I'll just be getting what we'll need."

He sends a message to Urdex to let him know he is on his way down.

Urdrex will meet Cyrus and Aleea at the shuttle and hand over two holodisks.

"Play this if you get trouble out of the Daxamite or Tamaranean. Play the other if the Indigo gives you trouble. Don't kill anyone and don't steal anything." Urdrex says.

"Yep, that concludes my safety talk. Oh, and avoid Green or other Lanterns." he says.

"You do realize I don't kill or steal things," he says calmly. But he looks quite entertained by the safety talk.

"We'll be careful. And I promise to not crash the shuttle," he says in a joking manner. He does tend to react to the krogan as if he is his uncle.

"I'm really starting to get used to the idea of you cooking most of the time. Perhaps this should be your job in the household." Katima was smiling easily. Since coming to Ungara they had started to settle in and with each day the idea of leaving seemed unthinkable.

Cyrus was enjoying the sights and sounds of the marketplace. He nearly forgot about the fact they were on a mission. Then that nagging feeling of knowing he had to do something returned.

It made him feel like a puppy. But hey he thought he spotted one of the targets. The guy.

And then the two girls they were supposed to find.

"Well that's convenient," he mutters in surprise. He looks back at Aleea. "How do you think we should handle this? I'm not exactly experienced in these matters."

Once they are aboard the Normandy II, Alerron allows Mar'i to go exploring the ship for a bit while he talks to Katima. His expression is troubled, though he turns to her, taking her hands and kissing him.
