Captain Lockheart:
After the antics of yesterday, Lockheart had took to loading the rest of his cargo onto his ship, aswell as his personal belongings, before heading back to Chaladon. He lifted Cecilia onto the ship.

Lockheart
"I think that's all... hmmm, 1,2,3,4,..... yep, all the crates are aboard."

Cecelia
"Thank god, I thought my back would break lifting anymore..."

Lockheart
"You lifted one small crate."

Cecelia
"and?"

Lockheart
"Nevermind. Crew to your stations we're heading home, well. you are, im coming back here"

Lockheart pushed the throttle to full before turning back to see Anvala from high up. It looked in a lot better condition that it did after the battle, but still not unscathed.
He turned back around to face ahead of him. He carried on flying for a while mainly ok until a BANG signaled the explosion of the main engine, it had been damaged after the fight and had blown up, he hoped it would be the only explosion he would encounter on his way home.

Yiski:
--Garden District--

Yiski gave Zill a sidelong stare.

Yiski
"No need for threats Zill." *Grunts getting up* "Either they bother me now, or later, and I'd like to get this over with."

Lauren
"Need help?"

Yiski gingerly leans against his chair as he gets his crutch positioned and takes a few strained steps. He looks back at Lauren and grins.

Yiski
"Thanks, but I'll manage."

The trip to the Council Building is short and it takes only minutes to arrive, even with Yiski's slow pace. The Elites standing in front of the Council Chambers nod and open the doors for him. Yiski continues to limp before he is in front of the Nine.

(3)
"We see you are well Commander."

Yiski
"Cut the small talk and let's get on with it."

(8 )
"Very well. We have read through the reports on your abduction. Any reason why this occurred?"

Yiski
"They were after weapon blueprints. Correction. My blueprints. Before you ask, no, they never got a chance to get any."

(7)
"Any idea who was behind it?"

Yiski
"Well, it has to be someone who values me more alive than dead."

(7)
"You sound surprised."

Yiski rolls his eyes.

(2)
"In any case, we cannot risk this event repeating again. In order to accomplish that, we are assigning you a bodyguard."

Yiski
"Woah now... I don't need a bloody babysitter. Plus, I have the others watchin' me enough as is."

(3)
"Be that as it may, it is not enough. We cannot risk your knowledge falling into our enemies possession. We already have an Elite assigned to you. That is final."

Yiski
"Can I go now?"

The Council nodded and Yiski exited through the chamber doors. Outside, there was an Elite waiting for him. The Elite approached Yiski and gave him a salute which Yiski returned. Yiski took a quick look at the Elite. The first noticeable trait was this Elite was female. The next was that she was armed to the teeth. She possessed a long sword, two pistols, and two daggers.

"Council wasn't kiddin' when they said they wanted me safe."

Yiski
"You're the one to keep an eye on me?"

Elite
"Yes, Commander. My name is Althea and by the Council's orders..."

Yiski
"I know the orders. Just follow me back to my saloon."

Althea followed closely to Yiski only keeping half an arms length from him. While this seemed uncomfortable to Yiski, he could only imagine how this would play out once back at the saloon. He decided to make a mental joke.

Hey Lauren! Guess what? I brought another woman home!"

The joke brought a grin to his face, but he well knew should he say it, he'd probably find himself dangling off a lightning fast squid.

Honeybadger:
Honeybadger continues to clean as he looks to Dylan

Honeybadger
"Fuck, people gotta stop attacking us. I can't take this much longer."

Dylan looks to Honeybadger

Dylan
"I wish one of them were alive so they could go shopping for us..."

Honeybadger looks towards the guards

Honeybadger
"Think they'll be noticeable after they're burnt to a crisp?"

Dylan hits Honeybadger on the arm

Honeybadger
"Hey! It's your fault we're in this mess!"

Guard
"SHUT UP!"

Honeybadger looks at him and reaches for his holster

Honeybadger
"SUCK MY DICK!"

While the guard and Honeybadger were arguing. Dylan snuck up behind the guard and knocked him out with a chair.

Honeybadger
"Alright, lets find out who tried to kill us."

Dylan nods in agreement

Plasmarobo:
Plasma waits outside the saloon. Holding a plain document folder.
It would be closed right now. I guess I'll just wait for it to-
He stops as a pair of agressive voices sound in rapid succession from within.
Then a heavy thud. Not good sounds under the best of circumstances.
Whirling around, he wrenches open the door, pistol in hand.

He glances at the guard on the ground. He glares at Honeybadger from the threshold.
Not this guy again.

Plasma
"What is going on here!? You've just assaulted an official!"

He pulls the hammer on the weapon back. The click of the latch is satisfyingly ominous.
He takes out the radio with his other hand.
Plasma
"I have two dangerous persons at the Burning Skies. Assaulting a guardsmen. Good, I'll send them over."

He turns to the two men, waving his pistol vaguely.

Plasma
"Play nice now. Keep your hands on that bar, so these gents can get at them nice and easy, gentlemen. If I see them so much as twitch towards a weapon, I guarantee you the immediate loss of at least one finger."

He waits for the other guards to cuff them

Yiski:
--Saloon--

Despite knocking out a guard, Honeybadger and Dylan completely forgot about the other guards still watching the saloon. Once the remaining guards saw one of their own fall, they moved in and immediately apprehend both Honeybadger and Dylan.

Guard
"Didn't the Commander allow us to shoot them?"

Guard 2
"Are you kidding me? Shoot them. In the saloon. After being cleaned? Sorry, I'm not staying for clean up."

While one guard treats the knocked out guard, the others take Honeybadger and Dylan to the military lock up in the Southern District.
