Burning Skies Saloon
Thraxius Meridius:
--Outside the Saloon--
Thrax wakes up from a ditch outside the Burning Skies Saloon He slowly recovers from a massive hangover. His eyes burning from the radiance from the daylight.
Thrax
"...This isn't the Bathroom!"
He gets up and looks onto his surroundings. He realizes that he's stood outside the Saloon. He looks up onto the rooftop and sees Lockheart, Gabranth and HoneyBadger.
Thrax
"Flaking hellfire! I haven't been this hungover since my wedding day!"
Thrax looks discouraged at first, but then his thirst for hellfire convinces him otherwise.
Thrax
"Ugh... Well im here... Might as well!"
He bursts in the Saloon
Thrax
"Daddy's HOME! (Smirks)"
He charges at the barkeep and buys a few pints all round. Rushes up onto the rooftop spilling mugs overflowing with hellfire and ale.
Thrax (to Lockheart, Honeybadger and Gabranth at the rooftop while holding various mugs)
"Sorry bout that lads! I was ermmm... pre-occupied with important matters! DO NOT FEAR! THRAX IS HERE!"
He tries and ignores his head throbbing with pain from a massive hangover.
Thrax approaches the lot and hands out the pints of ale/hellfire.
Thrax
"Hope this makes up for my tardiness! Hehe! What'd I miss? Nothing too important I hope! Sorry bout that. My Sobriety has gotten the best of me yet again!"
He sits next to the lot and takes a large swig from his mug
Thrax
"Ah! Nothing like a lovely pint of hellfire to recover from a hangover! Hehe!"
Thrax (to lockheart)
"I believe we were in the middle of a conversation last time we spoke before I passed out.... inevitably of course! HAHA!"
Captain Lockheart:
*Looks at thrax as he storms into the saloon*
Lockheart
"ahh, heres my man. i want to ask you a few questions..."
*Downs the last of his hellfire*
Lockheart
"How exactly did you get on board my ship?"
*Rests his head on his arm on the bar, while looking at thrax with intrigue.*
Honeybadger:
Honeybadger turns to BdrLine
Honeybadger
"Well, there was a restaurant that was open but because of those cock-blocking elite guards I haven't eaten for about 3 days. And I was very upset so I challenged them to a duel, well, not really. I told them to fuck off and they pulled on me. Mistake number one there. So I ditched the pistol and hang out on the roof for the rest of the night."
Honeybadger feels around his pocket and pulls out an elite side arm. He coolly put it down on the table and slid it over without looking at it, as if he was trying to disown it.
Honeybadger
Back to my diet of bar nuts and cheap ale.
Honeybadger grabs his drink as his face went pale.
Honeybadger
I just realized I've only paid for one drink...
Honeybadger squints
Honeybadger
Don't tell Yiski about my... "tab"
Yiski:
--Southern District--
The Southern District is best known for housing many military buildings for officers and various sorts of vital equipment, including the radio tower critical to coordinating the air and ground forces when a raid or invasion happens. Had the radio been completely jammed or destroyed when the recent invasion occurred, the Guild might have just succeeded in capturing, or destroying the city.
Yiski approached the main complex. All sides are fenced with 25 feet walls with watchtowers holding riflemen around and within the complex. Coming up to the gate, there are four soldiers: Two riflemen and two heavies. Yiski flashes his badge and the gate guards let him in with no questions asked.
Upon entering, Yiski is promptly met by the complex captain.
Captain
"I didn't think we were due for another inspection."
Yiski
"Well consider this a surprise. I'm here to check the radio tower."
Captain
"Ah.. no doubt you want to see if it's been sabotaged? We've checked it, but everything seems to be running smoothly." *Gets and dead expression from Yiski.* "Er... but checking again can't hurt."
The two walk over to the radio tower's building and enter. Inside there are a number of engineers working and scrambling around. Many of them talking over each other which made it impossible (at least for Yiski) to hear any single conversation.
Captain
"Status?"
Engineer
"If there is a jamming device, it's not on any of the floors of the building. We've gone over everything at least five times."
Yiski
"Hmm..."
Captain
"Something on your mind Commander?"
Yiski
"Take me to the top of the tower."
Both the captain and engineer looked at Yiski with confusion. Yiski gave them both an annoyed expression.
Yiski
"Did I stutter?"
Captain
"No.. um... right this way."
A few minutes and Yiski, the captain, and the engineer are at the top. The top of the radio tower easily stands 150 feet above the ground. Even where they were at, it was still 100 feet in the air. The three come to a router junction situation at their height.
Yiski
"Check it."
A few moments later...
Engineer
"Found something! Hmm... trying to reach it, but nothing. Can one of you give me push so I can?"
Yiski edges around and gives the engineer a push and the engineer manages to grab the device. Before the engineer could pull it out, Yiski heard a *click*. Yiski turned to see the captain with his sidearm in his face. The average person would freak out when a gun was suddenly in their face. Yiski isn't an average person.
Yiski
"Welp, I'm not surprised by this."
Captain
"Didn't think any of you simpletons would think of coming up here. Oh well, I can always say the engineer was a traitor who shot you and then shoot him which wou... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...."
*splat*
Yiski had pushed himself right against the captain. On the narrow and cramped tower, the captain easily lost his footing and fell. Yiski would've gone with him had the engineer not grabbed him in time.
Coming back down the tower with the jamming device in hand made radio contact smooth and unobstructed. Yiski also explained to the guards how the captain was a traitor which the engineer backed up.
Yiski let the lieutenant take over the complex as this business was sorted through. All Yiski cared about after coming close to his death (again) was go back to the saloon and drink.
Honeybadger:
-Saloon-
Honeybadger slowly sips his drink. suddenly he went pale.
Honeybadger
Oh fuck, don't tell me I left it there.
Honeybadger looks around the room
Honeybadger
"Anyone want to help me run a few errands? Then again, does anyone know where Jibbs is?" Maybe not him, this might require some discreetness, especially with those fucking guards and the probable APB they have against me.
He waits for a response.
