Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mon-Ama observed the men milling about the Septra from a distance away. The bounty hunter was behind her, still unconcious which astonished her considering how she had to drag him.

Her eys constantly darted back to the dead owner of the port that Rio had paid to land the craft. They had shot him without hesitation when he tried to shoo them away.

She heard groaning behind her and turned to see the prisoner finally awakening. With a sickening feeling in her stomach, Mon-Ama pulled out and removed the safty of her gun.

"If you make a noise any louder than I am now," she hissed in his ear with her gun under his chin, "you are a dead man."

The bounty hunter look at her - then something like reconition shot across his face. He grabbed her wrist and redirected her gun. She squeeze the trigger and three shots went completely wide. The bounty hunter flipped them over and she end up underneath him. There was scuffling around the Septra.

"You look like a prisoner I could have some fun with," he sneered, holding her wrists down,

Mon-Ama head-butted the eye Chris had shot. With an incredible shriek of pain the bounty hunter collapse and the hand with her gun in it. She pulled herself from underneath him, dropping her gun, and stood up just as three men ran around the corner that she was spying around.

She ran and turned another corner, leaping up on the highly useful cerivices on most Yoan buildings. Before she could clib on the roof a man that looked so much like Chris that she knew it must be his brother.

Thankfully he did not look up and returned around the corner. She heard the conversation.

"He's gone!" Ghan informed his companions.

"Who was he?" said another, rougher voice.

"He told me her name was Mon-Ama Curo," wheezed the bounty-hunter. "You are Gahn, correct? Our leader gave us orders to capture her."

"Thank you," said the rougher voice - which was immediately followed by a gun shot.

Mon-Ama sat on the roof, shocked. Who the hell are these guys?

Rio acknowledged that she was speaking Grutain now, but continued to use Mauchi.

"It was ... " he wiped some sweat and blood off his face with his sleeve. "It is important, that is all."

He stood up and swayed on the spot. He steadied himself and tired to orintate himself. After several minutes he spoke to Chris.

"Does your brother work for anybody, as far as you know?" he asked.

"No," replied Chris in surprise. "He definately killed my family on his own account."

Rio sighed. Things are getting more complicated and he was in no condition to figure anything out.

"We have to find my sister," he announced. "But first I need to get that knife back."

He started walking towards the church door.

Rio did argue back. "The best way to fight off a sickness is to exercise, not to rest - contrary to popular belief," he added in a mutter.

Rio looked mutinous. "Oi, I'll be fine. I've had much worse - " he took a step towards her and tripped again.

But Rio started falling again - he was suddenly asleep.

The priest-in-study frowned. "I've never heard of paralis putting some to sleep again - fasinating."

"I mean it is an interesting effect," answer the priest shamelessly. "It is unusual."

Chris look up at the glass windows and saw that it was almost dark.

"Perhaps we should just rest through the night here," he suggested. He looked at Kara for confirmation.
