Welcome to Gaia! ::

Readying the Knight, Rue felt himself curious more of the one he met earlier, Nic. He would soon have to do battle with her at his side, or possible against him should anything happen. He wasn't sure of her intentions and Gail's remark of "our way" left him only to wonder if there were plans that he didn't know of happening. Still, she was wounded and he shouldn't have left her like that. Her cheap excuse didn't fool him for a second, but...no he couldn't let it bother him. She seemed as if she was begging for someone to just talk with her and maybe be able to back her up, but the Rehk came first...or at least...he hoped it did

Gail sat at the pilot’s chair of the small shuttle.

“Rehk reporting from the north. We just received word that the U.F. ships have finally cleared and we’re safe from visible site.” Gail sat up, finally happy to hear things were moving along.

“Good Klera, bring her in. We’ve already set up the crates to be loaded into the hanger. I want you to set up the second Geared Lifter Units, to ready them for the transport.” He waited patiently as the other side shuffled with their commands.

“Got it captain, we’ll be there and ready in less then twenty minutes. Rehk out…” With those last few words the comm. was shut off. Gail stood up, smiling in satisfaction.

“Should we ready everything then, Captain?” Terrek asked from the side. Gail turned around and nodded to him, and the man ran off to set out the loads.

Two hours passed until the Rehk had landed and loaded all the needed supplies and M.A.T.s. Gail sat in the command chair of his bridge. Klera, Terrek, and Victor patiently waited for his next order.

“The Rehk is fully loaded with the supplies, and we’re ready to take off. With how everything’s going, I won’t be needing you to pilot your LFO, Terrek.” Terrek’s head shot up in shock.

“What do you mean I can’t, you know I’m the best out of us all… well… besides you that is.” He grumbled the last words unwillingly. Gail shared a dull look and then leaned his command chair.

“No, I’ll be having Rue pilot his LFO. I trust that by watching us, and leading in his own steps. That he’ll show me what it means to be a smuggler of Rehk.” Gail glanced at the view port and saw the hanger doors slowly opening.

“That’s insane, this is an important shipment!” Terrek stepped forward and exclaimed in frustration. Gail slowly looked down on the man, unimpressed by his sudden reaction.

“Terrek… Sometimes I see something in you… and sometime you disappoint me beyond understanding. Man your station… and shut up.” Gail spoke in a calm, yet cold voice. Terrek’s eyes went wide. He turned his eyes to Victor and Klera, as if looking for support. But neither shared compassion. Gritting his teeth the angered man stepped to the front of the bridge and sat down in his station. “We’re launching in five minutes. Contact Rue’s LFO, he should be in there.” Klera nodded and sat down at her station.

The Knight’s comm. automatically switched on.

“Rue… Hey Rue you there? Look, we’re heading out of the bay in… four minutes now. I suggest you prep your LFO. Good luck.” The comm. switched off and left only silence.

Four minutes passed, and the sound of rumbling engines filled the hanger.

“Everything ready Klera?” Gail asked as he gazed out the view port.

“Yes Captain.” She responded in a professional tone.

“Terrek, are the weapon systems ready. Hopefully they won’t be needed for this trip.” Terrek glanced back and grumbled slightly.

“Yes Sir.” He mumbled back in disrespect, but Gail ignored it.

“Good, then fly her forward Victor.” Victor nodded at Gail and took the controls. The Rehk’s thrusters started to glow, until they unleashed a fury of bright fire. It propelled itself forward and shot out of the hanger and up into the open skies. As they broke into open air space, little light would shine through the black barrier of smoke that hung above them. But now they were free, and at that moment, that’s all that Gail wanted.

Rue's head shot up at the sounding and quieting of the comm.
"Yes ma'am!"
He thre threw the ship into full power and readied for a quick take off. When the Rehk shot off, he tried quickly to follow, but the Knights power died off and the LFO sat there dead.
"Oh no! What did I do!?"
Panicing, knowing that the Rehk had noticed this, he instantly starting second checking all of the controls. He didn't know what was happening as nothing was responding.
"Come on!"
His compact drive was out of place. He had knocked it when he stood up. The LFO seemed unable to help in the matter. Rue grabbed his head in frustration, the two minutes gone by seeming like hours. He threw his hands down, brushing the drive back into place, and the LFO spurred to life.
"Wha..? Oh yes! I gotta catch up!"
The WhiteKnight sped forth in a great speed on land mode, turned into its humanoid form, and took off from the ground. Hitting an unusual stream of trapar, it quickly flew toward the Rehk. Finally catching up he hit the comm to the Rehk.
"Rue here, everything is alright...now..."

Nic was completly surprised that Kayako had contacted her and not the Rehk. "Yeah you are...don't worry there were alot of things wrong today..." Nic replied slowly. After saying it she realized it sounded kind of stupid, but just continued on.

When Nic saw it was Gidget she tried to sound as happy as possible. "Hey it's going good...but...is Arek back yet?" Nic said unsure if she should ask about the one thing that had been bothering her the whole time. Well i can keep guessingat it for a while Nic thought to herself.

Nic almost lost all thought after she heard what Gidget said. "I...I saw him earlier today...Gidget he's alright." Nic had to put her mind to work double time, keeping her eye's on flying the LFO and trying to find out what to do about Renton. Everything she was worried about was gone. "Tell Eureka...that I needed something from the Gekko and only he could bring it to me. He's resting up back in the cave...and not to worry." Nic couldn't understand why he would just take off like that. 'Not like im any better' she thought.

"Who read he note?" Nic asked quickly, hoping that not many have read it yet. "No he never really said any thing about when he was going to come back or where he was going." Nic started to think hard about when she had last saw him and which direction he was going. Well at least he was alright when she saw him.
