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.

	Well. That wasn't good. But she needed to know more about what was happening to Rann, and why this conflict had been so terrible that she couldn't play a part in it. Her instincts said this wasn't the wrong choice. "Rex," she said. "I've got to go." She looked at Urdex. "I need to get him home first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can wait another hour at the most, but I gotta move the shuttle. Take your friend home and get him sobered up." "Find Frequency AX63 when you're ready for pick-up." Urdrex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will," she replied. "C'mon, Rex," she told him, bending down to help him get up to his feet. "Let's get you home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rex grumbles something and holds close to Aleea as she helps him up. "Don't go with him, Leea. He could...be lying to you." Rex says, still trying to stand up straight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not the point, Space Case. You can't go." Rex tells her. "Nic...she'll miss you." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still got my Zeta-Beamer," she told him. "I'll be back, I promise." Her voice wavered. She didn't like the idea of running out on her friend that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She hesitated. On some level, Aleea really didn't want to leave. She was enjoying Earth, and the company of both Nic and Rex. And... She put herself up on her tiptoes and kissed him, impulsively. "Can't get rid of me that easily. But I need to find out what's happening with my planet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kiss surprises Rex, but he returns it. He and Aleea were never meant for anything more than this, especially when his heart belongs to someone else. But the dream was always nice. When the kiss finally breaks, he sits down on his couch. "You better call if you need anything, Strange. Nic and I will be there when you need us." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Six minutes after Urdrex walked into the bar... rannsofaraway 2010-09-01 03:54 am UTC (link)
	A moment to remember, at least. And maybe to fuel her dreams. "You know I will," she promised him. "And you two take care of each other. And if you need me... call. I'm only a zeta away." A short time later, she was ready for pick-up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Urdrex picks Aleea up on the rooftop of Rex's building in the shuttle. "All aboard! We're headed out to the main ship and then off to pick up the rest of the team." he says. "Welcome to the group, Rannian." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Six minutes after Urdrex walked into the bar... rannsofaraway 2010-09-01 04:24 am UTC (link)

	"We got three more to pick-up, but they ain't far. They're in this system, actually, on Ungara. A Daxamite, a Tamaranean and a member of the Indigo Tribe." Urdrex says. "Go fig on that last one. Boss Man ain't fond of Lanterns, really, but he wants this one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Six minutes after Urdrex walked into the bar... rannsofaraway 2010-09-01 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Quite the collection. Aleea wondered what they all brought to the mix, and, more importantly, what she brought that they didn't. "Nothing wrong with Lanterns. Rann's had one for years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, well, don't try to sway the Elusive Man. He's not gonna hear you out on it." Urdrex says, flying the shuttle back to the the Normandy II.

Once aboard, Urdrex will signal Cyrus to take them out of Earth's orbit.

"Cyrus, let's get to Ungara and get the rest of our passengers. And just to be on the safe side...you and the Rannian should probably do the recruitin' for the next part." he says.

"Did you get into a bar fight," Cyrus asks. Then nods slowly.

"All right. I can do that. Miss? You may wish to take a seat. I'll be punching us into hyper drive in the next minute. I just need to get us out of orbit. Hyper drive can be uncomfortable your first time. We shouldn't take too long to reach our destination."

He is starting to get them out of orbit as he is talking. "I'm Cyrus Green, by the way. I'll be your pilot throughout this mission you've been recruited for. It's nice to meet you Miss Strange."

	Aleea took a seat when asked. "Thanks," she told Cyrus. "You're... human?" True, he could have been any number of species, from Braalian to Imiskian to Bismolian, but she got a bit of a human vibe out of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wasn't a big fight. Just a mouthy human who shoulda been watchin' his." Urdrex said. "Wake me when we get to Ungara, Kid. I got some stuff to give you for when you meet our next recruits." Urdrex says, and heads off to his cabin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes ma'am. Dimensionally displaced though," he says with a shrug. Then he nods. "Yes sir. Rest well. It'll be a long flight."

"This Earth is pretty primitive to the one I know of. They still use combustion engines after all." He has to take them out of stealth to put them into hyper drive. There should be an odd feeling of falling backwards which is why Cyrus recommended sitting down.

But with a ship this advanced the feeling shouldn't be bad or even noticeable.

"Man! I love this ship. Smooth as a Siren class. Quite as a Hammer Head. If I were older I'd kiss the engineers right on their lips," Cyrus says with enthusiasm. He loves this ship.

"You should get some rest too. I can have one of the crew show you where the quarters we had made up for you are. Cerberus went all out on this ship for you and the team we're putting together."

	"Earth's not so bad," she said. "My father's from there." She nodded. "That sounds fine, thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)
