Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
--Tengshe--
Hours pass by and the reception was coming to an end. Many of the Yeshan officials had departed on civilian and military ships which had come and gone throughout the entire time. At this point in time, there were mostly guest, the group, and Ny-Lee's family. Yiski, Zill, Shen, BdrLine, and Roland were sitting at one table, while Ny-Lee, Jun'ko, Mei, and Liu were at another.
-Men's Table-
Yiski
"So are you two goin' to head for Cathedral immediately?"
Roland
"Yes, I believe our transport will be arriving shortly."
Yiski
"Need an escort?"
Shen
"No need. I've hired a Yeshan contractor to ensure their safe arrival and return."
Yiski
"Kinda feel guilty that I didn't contribute to any of this."
Shen
"No, no. You and your friends have done more for me and the Empire. This is nothing. Also, this was also for my little Ny."
Zill
"Either way. This was still very impressive to pull off."
-Women's Table-
Liu
"Ny, I believe you're transport is arriving shortly."
Mei
"I still can't believe you got to marry such a handsome man. He doesn't have brothers does he?"
Ny-Lee
"Only child I'm afraid and before you ask, no, I'm not sharing him."
Mei
*sticking her tongue at Ny-Lee* "Meanie."
Lauren
"Well Ny, I wish the two of you the best. Word of caution though, avoid the Arashi district of Cathedral. If you're not careful there, you're bound to lose a few things. Roland included."
Ny-Lee
"Hehe. Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
Soon enough the newlywed's transport ship arrives along with two pyramidions and two junkers. The group watches as Roland and Ny-Lee board the transport. When the two are out of sight, Yiski gives a quiet whistle at the escorts.
Shen
"You don't think this is too much?"
Yiski
"Honestly. I'd probably would have thrown in a galleon or two."
Shen and Yiski share a laugh. The night had been grown longer and the group and family were getting tired. Eventually, everyone went back to their respective rooms. After seeing the wedding, Jun'ko was feeling particularly energetic still leaving Zill to wonder how much 'sleeping' was actually going to happen. Lauren and Yiski were still trying to figure out how to tread with their reformed status, but they knew at least where to start: In bed with no clothes and 'sleeping'.
Back at the saloon, Coldcurse and company called it a day. While Coldcurse was still wondering where Yiski and the group had gone, he figured they'd all be back soon enough and tell the tale of their adventure.
Unfortunately for them, the group's departure couldn't have come at the worse time and their return, not soon enough.
--NARRATOR END--
--END OF DAY 99--
Yiski:
No token posts. I will be unavailable for today and tomorrow for familial obligations. Saloon will be back late Monday.
Yiski:
--START OF DAY 100--
--START OF MINI-QUEST: THE PAST IS NEVER DEAD--
--NARRATOR--
It was the day after the wedding. Roland and Ny-Lee were already on their way to Cathedral for their honeymoon. Most of the morning was spent getting the group ready to depart for Anvala. While Yiski, Lauren, and Zill took cared of the preparations, BdrLine took the opportunity to talk to his parents and family more. After all, it seemed like months ago when BdrLine's family realized he was still alive. The others in the group decided to enjoy as much of the Tengshe before leaving.
Another hour passed and preparations were complete and the group went to their respective ships minus two. Even though the M'Naghten Returns had it's additional crew, Yiski sighed knowing it would feel empty without those two.
As Then It Was Fixed Again and M'Naghten Returns started for Anvala, there was radio static coming through. Not on the Anvalan frequency, but Yiski's restricted frequency. Realizing the difference, Lauren called up Yiski to the helm.
Yiski
"What? Gettin' lonely?"
Lauren
"Yes, but this other radio is just static."
Lauren could see Yiski's eyes get large as he leaned down and pressed his ear against the radio. Yiski listened and noticed there was a pattern to the radio static... Morse Code. Lauren couldn't hear the code come through, but knew it had to be dire if it got this kind of reaction from Yiski.
Lauren
"Yisk...."
Yiski
"Shh..... By the skies! EVERYONE GET TO MAXIMUM ENGINE OUTPUT POSITIONS! WE GOTTA HAUL ASS BACK TO ANVALA!"
Lauren was shocked by the sudden declaration, but the crew scrambled and got into positions. Lauren would have been still shocked if not for the sudden burst of speed coming from the ship. Before Lauren could ask what the emergency was, Zill noticed the M'Naghten Returns gaining distance from him and radioed.
Zill
"Lauren? Yiski? The flak is going on?"
Yiski
"Match your speed with ours! We gotta get back!"
Zill could hear the urgency in Yiski's voice, while Lauren got that and saw him breathing heavily.
Lauren & Zill
"What's going on?"
Yiski turned to face Lauren and he had a look of dread on his face, he then faced toward the direction of Anvala and spoke.
Yiski
"Lance's code translates and I quote, "Guild hired mercenary fleet and troops. Destination... Anvala."
--NARRATOR END--
Skyraider:
A lone plane that was flying around Then It Was Fixed Again had been seen for awhile now. Its markings on the wings was a clear symbol of Skyraider's Flying Panthers. The radio buzzes and Sky speaks.
Sky
"Well someone is in a rush. What troubles you now? Or are you just eager to get back to Anavla? I heard panic over the radio, but it was all muffled and hard to hear."
Sky's plane flies level to Then It Was Fixed Again and he shakes the plane's wings to get Zill's attention.
Captain Lockheart:
Lockheart had awoken early, after getting off the Commodore Beckett he took to gathering information on the whereabouts of the location of Yiski, Zill and the others, Most of the Dockworkers seemed to give the same information. That they set of aboard their ships, In no apparent cause of distress, and they would be returning soon.
Lockheart Gathered the remaining few in Anvala to tell them what happened.
Lockheart
" my friends, I do believe I know where our saloon owner went!"
Coldcurse
"And what be it?"
*Coldcurse drinks a bottle of ale*
Lockheart
" The first matter if concern, is that they did not die, nor leave due to anything of that sort"
*Lockheart explained the rest of what he had picked up from the Dockworkers*
