Burning Skies Saloon
RearAdmiralZill:
Zill shakes his head and sighs. He motions toward Sky.
Zill
"Althea here had received a warped order to kill him, and she carried it out rather swiftly when he came in last night. I say good riddance. He wasn't much better than the ilk coming out of that merc den."
Jun'ko elbowed him in his good side and he grunted under his mask.
Zill
"Oi, you were thinking it."
Jun'ko
"Much different than blabbing it to everyone."
Zill took a drink, knowing he wasn't going to win that argument.
Honeybadger:
The messenger looks to Yiski
Messenger
"I'll be on my way now, I have orders to get Mr. Honeybadger's personal belongings from the roof."
The messenger quickly stepped outside. He was glad he had not gotten shot.
Skyraider:
Sky remembered that he had a piece of paper in his pocket, he found it on the side of a wall when he was coming to the saloon.
Sky
"Honestly, he was in Anvala with this all over the place."
Sky handed Zill a wanted poster, it had Honeybadger and Dylan's names on it.
Sky
"He would have been dead, even if he made it out of the saloon. According to this he escaped from a prison...."
Yiski:
--Saloon--
After the the message of Honeybadger's last words and wishes, the messenger left, leaving the message, and Yiski started to explain to Skyraider yesterday's events.
Yiski
"Long story Sky. Short story my standing order to shoot Honeybadger and Dylan in the legs evolved into a kill on sight order. Althea is and Elite who got the K.O.S. order. Althea saw Honeybadger and Dylan enter the saloon. Althea followed through with the K.O.S. order."
The explanation got an 'ah' reaction from Skyraider.
The next order of business was to claim their bodies, but that could wait till tomorrow.
Althea
"Commander, are you not going to claim their bodies?"
Yiski
"That can wait till tomorrow."
Althea
"Commander, you do understand any persons killed within the city are cremated within twenty-four hours? It was in place to conserve city space."
Yiski
"Flak."
Yiski hobbled as quick as he could to the radio in the back. He then set the radio frequency to Lauren's radio in her office.
Yiski
"Honey? Are you there?"
Lauren
"... Please don't tell me there are armed men inside the saloon..."
Yiski
"No, no, it's not that. I need you to run to the Administrative Building soon, or rather right now."
Lauren
"..Why?"
Yiski
"Well, we just got a message with Honeybadger's last wishes and he wanted to be buried."
Lauren
"Okay, so?"
Yiski
"His body is about to be cremated. Probably in the next few minutes."
Lauren
"And you care why?"
Yiski
"Because I feel slightly responsible. Skies, woman! Just go now!"
Lauren
"Alright. Alright!"
Lauren leaves her office and makes her way to the Admin Building. Luckily, it's next door to the building Lauren works in. She finds the receptionist and asks her where to go on those being cremated. Once the directions and office are given, Lauren makes her way to the office Retirement and Termination Affairs.
RTA Official
"Can I help you?"
Lauren
"Yes, I got a call from Commander Yiski to put a stop on a cremation on two individuals... Honeybadger and Dylan. It's requested the bodies be buried."
Shuffling a large stack of papers and folders, the official picks up a file.
RTA Official
"Here it is. Let's see now... ... ... ooh."
Lauren
"Let me guess, they've been cremated."
RTA Official
"It seems so I'm afraid, but you can claim their ashes."
Lauren sighed and agreed. The official handed her some paperwork in order to claim the ashes. She used this fetch quest as an excuse to end the day to head to the mortuary and back to the saloon.
When Lauren did arrive back at the saloon, Yiski saw her holding two plain-looking urns. He facepalmed.
Yiski
"Don't tell me..."
Lauren
"Yup. Say hello to Honeybadger," *lifting the right urn* "and Dylan." *lifting the left urn*
Yiski
"Well, at least we have something to bury."
Skyraider:
Sky saw the two urns, and pulled a classic face-palm, he talked while his hand was still on his face.
Sky
"Just don't drop those urns, please. The last thing we could do to them is to ruin our floors... again... but with their ashes."
