Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fokkusu turns around and sits on a small cardboard box. "Thats good. I could smelt the paint last night so I checked it out." Fokkusu turns his head up and stares at the ceiling. "I don't know why you painted it black and blue. If you painted it black and red the colors of our ships would match."

Fokkusu then gets up and walks around the room. "I guess it does not matter much any way." He stops pacing and turns towards Cal.
"We do have something planned today. Today we are going to go investigate in Meteo. You know, the asteroid field. We might even get payed for it."

Fokkusu exited the room, shouting back at Cal. "We leave in five minutes he said as he went back to his ships hangar. He walked over to the hangar door. After a press of a button, the hangar door squeaked up slowly until it finally came to rest.

Fokkusu quickly opened the cockpit of the Shadow Striker and jumped in. He fastened all the belts and closed the cockpit. "I wonder if I will regret not eating breakfast later." He said quietly to himself.

Fokkusu shook his head. He barely caught what Oull was saying from inside the cockpit. He flipped a switch turning on the power and spoke through the communication systems directly to Oull's ship. "I said we are going to Meteo to do some investigating for the Cornerian army. Get ready to go."

Fokkusu flipped some more switches warming up the engine. He pulled a lever disengaging the brakes and and lightly squeezed on the throttle controls. The Shadow Striker slid out of the hangar slowly.

Oull smiled as he listened to their mission. He flipped on the outward part of his radio and called over to him. "Right boss. What we investigating exactly?" He turned off the systen to save power and flipped another switch. His ship slowly hovered next to fokkusu and his wings slid out of their compartments and folded out halfway. They then began to spin slowly. Oull flipped the speaker back on. "Hey, think we can actualy buy some good food after this mission. Those noodles have been in the fridge for nearly a month now."

"well whatever it is, the point is all our food is a month old and way past it's expiration date." He shrugged as he spoke, bored as heck. "So I hope you haven't had breakfast, 'cause you'll probably be pukin' all day."

Koudo was donig the last engine check before he would turn in for the morning, he still needed to eat breakfast. Koudo jumped from the Fist's cockpit, befroe his data pad set off with a standard ring. Turns out he had a few jobs already lined up, but they all required a group of mercenaries. Most of the high paying jobs were for mercenary groups, individual jobs were usaully small like minor trade escorts. Koudo needed a team if he wanted to earn the big prize. It wasn't uncommon for mercnary teams to hire mercenaries, sometimes a mission required more then what their team had and an extra set of hands was needed. This was a practice in order to find who would be best suited to join the team permanently. This practice was useful for discovering others to best suit the team's style. Problem was that Koudo's ship was made for more destructive combat, he wasn't use to even flying it yet and already he might need to join a team in order to make ends meet or put bread on the table. All of his weapons were wide ranged, except his Laser, that was made to take out light fighters or ship attachments. Koudo had no choice, he had to change his mercenary file in the database, placing from solo jobs to both. Whoever sent Koudo the team jobs, but it clearly stated he worked alone. That person must have been in a hurry to send them out if not to check his preferences.

"Uh... I think the lack of sleep as gotten to you. Seriously, what are you talking about? We live in a hangar that a company is renting to us... I think thats illegal.... Wait thats not the point. The point is that we don't get indoor plumbing here, and the electricity bill is being payed by the company that rents us the hangar."
Fokkusu sighed. "We don't even have AC or heating." He took his feet off of the two pedals and moved his right foot over to a smaller pedal. He pressed down on that and he pushed the joysticks forward. They slid forward and the wings opened up. His ship tilted back a little and then he moved his feet back on the rudder control pedals. He squeezed the throttle controls and the ship flew away. He went up high and circled over the hangars.

"As long as we don't have to pay any medical bills afterwards I am fine with it. Speaking of Cal, he should probably get his a** in gear. I don't want to wait for him much longer." Fokkusu slowed down the ship and closed the wings. The ship slowed to a stop and stayed in place. The experimental G-Diffuser works like magic allowing the ship to hover very high in the air.
