Yiski:
--Hospital--

Before Honeybadger had a chance to get one foot in the room, the two Elite guards immediately grab Honeybadger and push him back into the hallway.

Elite
"Only authorized officials are allowed to enter. I don't recognize you or see you have the proper authority. Any interference with Council business is considered a felony."

Yiski turns to the door, hearing the commotion outside. He ignores it and turns back to Zill, but notices a black lock box sitting on his dresser. Yiski points to it.

Yiski
"That looks important."

Papa Paradox:
He phased in and out of consciousness as he was transported from the Burning Skies to the Dandy Lions Head Quarters.

“He’ll get through it, he’s been through worse...”

“Shou... led... to... death.”

The voices sounded muffled, his ears were ringing from tinnitus, silence caused this. Silence was also the source of his introspection, when he was alone his brain goes into overdrive, analysing every word and action no matter how inconsequential, it helped him optimise his life. Rationalize others death. He was ruthless, according to anyone with a sense of morality.

Jennifer, Papa’s assistant looked to the doctor:

“Will he be alright?”

“It will take awhile for the plating to take, the body likes to reject these things, he has had so many modifications already that it should go faster than normal. He’s lucky it only took a chunk of his torso, it just missed his heart.”

His heart? I doubt he uses it, gods know I’ve tried get to it. Jen thought in silence, she twiddled he necklace. Her thinking was broken by the doctors continued explanation:

“He is slowly becoming more machine than man, I couldn’t imagine the position he’s in.”

He awoke, choking on the intubation tube that went into his lungs, his large mechanical hand grasped the tube and yarded it out of his throat, with the complete lack of finesse he began coughing up blood and proceeded to puke. The panic alleviated after his coughing fit, he relaxed, he was now lying on his stomach staring at the mixture of bodily fluids on the ground, he ignored it and subsided to rest. A nurse, the doctor, and Jen walked in on the scene, shocked, they looked at him, he seemed to be breathing normally so the nurse simply cleaned the mess and left him to sleep.

Honeybadger:
--Hospital--

The two elite gaurds stand in front of Honeybadger

Honeybadger
Please, I need to have a word with Yiski regarding the safety of Zill.

I'm not sure wether I should use the pistol in the flowers now or later, no it could ruin the note.

Elite Gaurd (1)
Nobody steps past this point without clearance.

Elite Gaurd (2)
Beat it Baron.

Honeybadger
There must be something I can use here. Shit, it's wearing off. Alright what can I use here...

Wait a second.

Honeybadger notices the Gaurds loadout and smirks

Honeybadger
"Can you at least give these to them?"

Honeybadger hands the Gaurd the flowers, the gaurd nods reluctantly.

Honeybadger
"Thank you." Once Yiski reads that note I hope he's quick enough. By my understanding the guild have been hiring mercs and I don't trust the non-regulation pistols on them. Plus when this shit goes down the gaurds are usually away.
"I'll be on my way now. Make sure they get those flowers."

RearAdmiralZill:
-Hospital-

Zill glanced over to see his black box on the table. He immediately glared back at Yiski with a look that could kill another Guild fleet.
"It is.....and you'll do.....well to leave it be..... As for the intel, lets just....say I took a trinket from Izumi."

Realizing he wasn't talking to a council investigator, Zill relaxed his tone a bit.
"Trust me when I.......say that some things......are better left alone. Tell......them I had a contact for all I care."

Honeybadger:
-Hospital-

Honeybadger leaning against a wall on the corner of the hallway, out of sight to the guards.

Honeybadger
Dammit Yiski, if I knew you were going to dick me over like that I would have came heavy. No matter, nothing a little planning can't solve.

Now we just wait for the package to get here and I can see if I can pay a visit to the Admiral

Honeybadger bounces his ball with his left hand, checking his watch with his right.

Honeybager
Alright, it should come now. I just hope he'll take the bait

The hospitals radio intercom clicks and then gives a short screech, cheap stuff.

Intercom
Mister um, Yiski? Yes, Mr. Yiski. Please come to the front desk, a package has arrived for you

Honeybadger smirks and peeks out through the hallway

Honeybadger
C'mon, take the bait so I can continue real estate hunting.
