Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rue's head was spinning as he tried to figure out what just happened. He was instantly baffled at the mention of the girl's residence on the gekko and realized that it was Capatin Gail who had mentioned he was looking for someone from the gekko. Forgetting to demand payment earlier, Rue ran to the girl.
"Oh, excuse me. I really would like it if you came with me to see my captain. I promise it will only take a few minutes okay?"
His eyes held a pleading posture but his voice was as calm as ever.

Rue felt awkward walking next to such a girl and not being able to say anything. He started thinking of anything to say as the dim sound of his steps pierced his ears.
"So anyway how'd you end up on the gekko, miss?"
The hall was longer than he remembered, but he hoped the hanger would be able to kill this awkward moment.

The conversation had hit a dead silence. Rue was left to his own thoughts of how to make the situation a bit brighter, but they had reached the hanger and his thought process had completely changed. He needed to inform the captain of what had occured in the infirmary and most importantly introduce the strange girl he had met.
"um...i hope you don't mind my asking, miss...but what's your name?"

"Oh, i'm sorry i forgot to say. My name's Rue. I'm a...well grunt for the Rehk and that's why i need to get you to talk with my captain. I guess i wasn't very forward with information..." For the second that Rue caught Nic's eyes, he could swear he saw a struggle within them. As if something was fighting to keep her down. He stood there staring, though he knew better than to. "I'm...sorry if i offended you..."

Rue thought, if only for a second, he may have broke through her defenses. But then the cold response was enough to burst that dream. He nodded.
"right, i wasn't supposed to get distracted ^_^;; "
He lead the way to the captain in silence. He called to his superior.
"Captain Gail! I've located a member of the gekko, also i've been told that the shipment will be here soon and that we will get paid when........."
He scratched his head. It was only a few minutes ago, but the details were so blunt that he didn't remember the discussion, if you could call it that, on payment.
"I believe we'll get paid when the....um....cargo is....near....Warasawue?"
He said it wrong, but he hoped that Gail would know what he was talking about.

"Oh! This is Nic, from the gekko-go! I thought you were looking for someone who was aboard the gekko so when i found out about her, i asked if she'd come with."
There were few reasons for Rue to respect Captain Gail. He was rude and uncaring to those he didn't know, those he did, and those he liked. He knew that the captain held little to no respect for Rue and that he looked down upon him. But still...in those brief seconds where the captain had smiled at Rue, it was as if all of that was gone, the rude uncaring side, and a kinder more mentoring person had emerged. It was what Rue strived to make happen, but seldom did. He stopped his thinking on this and immediatly looked to see what the captain would do with the new comer.

Tolly watched the radar in the comms room. The UF had finally run there course and made it out of Radar range. Gail must be landing he figured and picked the radio back up, "Topher."

A younge voice came back quickly,"Sir."

Tolly knew in the word that his son was unhappy but he had to move past it. "Are the LFO's ready to go?"

"Yeah, the batteries are charged and loaded up. The black and Violet one needed a new linkage, turned out the servo was okay." Topher said back alittle perved.

"Good, listen son. We'll talk later about Zato. For now get the loaders over to the Crates in the main hanger. Captain Gail will want them loaded as quickly as possible."

"..."

"Topher. Please, I need you to be an adult about this."

"Okay." came back the small voice.

Tolly stood up quickly and turned to Arek then, "Do you understand what needs to be done younge man. For now, I won't be needing you to escort the shipment. Take the package back to Hap and give him the lists. He'll know what to do with them. I don't expect we'll see each other again for awhile. Take care of yourself and take care of those around you."

He watched the younge man yawn one last time and head for the hanger with the payment for Hap. Tolly knew that whether Nic survived or not he owed it to the Gekko to make the payment. Gail on the other hand....
One of the camera's in the building show the old captain on screen.

Tolly knew the ol' pirate was ill at him. He chuckled and walked out of the room. Making his way to where the captain and his group was he walked up just in time to see Rue introduce Nic.

"Captain Gail, Nic is your backup. She's there to make sure your ship makes it to Warusawu. I hope you don't mind if a third party helps protect our precious cargo. After all, I know 30 armed men who are waiting for there mechs and would be very upset if they didn't get them."

He continued quickly,"Our skies are clear of enemy radar and you can land in the main hanger when ready. We will have the crates on the left wall loaded as quickly as possible."

Nic knew that voice it was Tolly she turned slowly letting her hand drop while she did. And listened, or pretended to no matter where seh went there was always someone that would find her and try to talk to her. And so many people around her caring for each other it almost made her sick to herself. She had never had any chance to live a normal childhood. With all of this going through her mind Tolly had finished speaking "I need to find Arek." Nic lied and tried to get away with a fairly fast paced walk. She could feel Rue's eyes on her, he was begining to figure her out. And it was creeping her out.
