Das Steube Eulalia Danae Bryne and his ship were halfway to Osis before Bryne finally took a moment to relax and breath. "The commanding vessel gone sick, the Earth attack turned sour. Lankin better know what he's doing, or we'll all fall apart." Bryne brushed a hand through his hair, "He should use the damned stone more, drain the thing of whatever power it has." "Sir?" One of the men interuppted Bryne's little dramalogue, a look of concern on his face. "It looks like the fleet is being followed." The Star's Light was tearing after Bryne's ship, bearing directly on it. It was closing distance, and closing it fast, leaving maybe five seconds for reaction before it was inside of firing range. "Eric, we may have the weaponry of a small army, but that doesn't mean we should take on an army. I realize you're pissed, but there are better ways to do this. We can hunt down Bryne on his own, and you can make it personal, instead of a blast fight. The Kore, is still unaware that I've left them, and they probably assume me dead with the others on that ship. I can help you get Bryne, without you having to risk the life of your wife." Svarlena leaned back against the wall of the ship. "You don't want to do this, Eric."

((Ima, seriously, ******** you. Go somewhere else. I wasn't being an a*****e, you came on me like a b***h first. I ain't putting up with your bullshit.))
Eric drummed his fingers.
"I can disable or cripple Bryne's ship and two others. We can go onto his ship and kill our way to him. Leave no survivors, take no prisoners. We'll have the edge on them."

Jarred paused, nodding. "A celebration drink is most certainly in order, but I don't want it to appear preemptive. I'm disallowed a certain measure of bragging. Keep the peace and all." He shrugged. "You're welcome to come along, though. I'll likely be 'officially told' of the attack and then congratulated and asked for support. Drinks to follow."

"I can disable or cripple Bryne's ship and two others. We can go onto his ship and kill our way to him. Leave no survivors, take no prisoners. We'll have the edge on them." Svarly shook her head, "We'd be dead, Eric. No matter what fun toys you have, we'd be dead. There are too many people on those ships, not enough of us, and some damn mean defenses inside and out. If it was a stealth attack, maybe, but as it is we do not have the edge on them." ((As much fun as it sounds, Eric and his one ship and little crew taking out the kore battleships and a large army is really really pushing it, and not going to happen. Earth won, yes, but Earth is earth ya know?))

Gate, and whatever other Kore eschalons that are having their ******** circle jerk on Osis. We won't get a chance like this again. I can do SOMETHING, Svarly... I have todo something. This is gonna keep happening, over, and over again. Maybe they're gonna send a hit squad after me, or after you, or Hattie. What do you want me to do? Seiously, what the hell do you want me to do?! I can do this, we can do this! we've got better guns, faster ships, and a lack of organization policy! We can do SOMETHING!"

"Bryne wanted Gautrine for a personal reason. Yes, things will continue, but it's not Bryne targeting your group. Honestly Eric, if you're so worried about your life, about my life, and about Hattie's life, then turn around. You're signing our death warrant if you try and take them on here and now." Svarly's eyes darkened. "If this is about revenge, I can help you get him. But not here and now. We have to go back to Earth. Eccacian funerals take time to prepare." Svarly paused, "Please, Eric. Take us back to Earth."

Syx shrugged her shoulders, "Hell, might as well. Drinks to follow will be an added bonus." She half smiled, "but peace be damned, man, do at least a little bit of bragging. My sis, and I'm sure some others, need a taste of humility."

Absinthe coughed from her position behind Eric. "Is my sister not still aboard a Kore ship? Perhaps you could have her assist."
Hattie laughed loudly. "We did it to save one of my crew. She was a great friend in that way. Eric, my husband was our pimp."

"Oh, there will be bragging. There will be bravado and speeches, but just not on quite so official a platform. I'd rub it in their faces more, but ultimately I got what I wanted, so I'm in no position to complain."

She made a motion with her head, "We should start moving, no? They'll be wanting to talk to you soon, I'm sure." "Politics aside, how is the famous Bowdn heir faring these days? Never see any stories about you in the gossip magazines any more, it's sad."

Hattie laughed loudly. "We did it to save one of my crew. She was a great friend in that way. Eric, my husband was our pimp."
Svarly smiled, "I thought she'd become something of a controlling, spoiled b***h. It's good to hear she developed some heart."

"Well enough, I suppose. I left to go traveling for a reason, but recent matters are enough of a motivation to bring me back. I'll likely start traveling again once the matter of this war is over." He started back towards the generic politics building, favoring to walk the short distance. It amused him how close the place was to the bar. "And it seems Eric, once he's done being an a**, will be headed back, with Pen along as well, I'm sure."

"Not much of the 'settle down' type, I take it." Syx brought up a hand to tilt her hat, only to find she'd left it back at home, and awkward put her hand back down. Syx walked with him, using a long stride. "Ah, that's right. You and Pendari."

"At least I didn't fall for a 'settle down' kind of girl. That's a sitcom waiting to happen." He tilted his head as if considering. "Then again, an ex-core agent isn't the best publicity ever, but ah well, the reporters tend to stay away, so I'm contented."

"Weren't you the one claiming something about being a main character hero? Or something along those lines. I suppose that's more an adventure-drama than a sitcom." Syx shrugged, "but to be honest, I'd take the sitcom, the heroes tend to win the battle but lose what they loved most. Never a fair deal." Syx blew a curl out of her face as she walked. "Yeah, for publicity, bad move. But she makes for pretty pictures when the cameras do show up."
