"Your lives may be forfeit, but you would give the same sentence to everyone on this ship?" Lia spoke, the sound of machinery underlying her voice. The suit gave a dangerous beep despite the calm tone of her words. "An odd choice, after wasting what energy you had, to bring one of them here for treatment."

"Everyone's out to get me." Jarred sighed, stepping to the side. He pulled out his PDA, due to some freak thing, the last IM having been erased ((Sara didn't like it or some such)), but the current one was there, so he started to read it.

Arch the Angel "Everyone's out to get me." Jarred sighed, stepping to the side. He pulled out his PDA, due to some freak thing, the last IM having been erased ((Sara didn't like it or some such)), but the current one was there, so he started to read it. "It's gotta be your charm." Syx said in a slight drawl. Her gaze leveled on AC and Lanita, she held out her own blaster. It was on stun, but she decided not to mention that to anyone. "We know the kid's got the card. You don't want threats, fine. You don't think you're likely to live, good enough. We can take it off your bodies just as easily as you handing it over." Syx's eyes narrowed. "To reiterate, you are not walking out of this prison until I say so." She held the gun steady. "This isn't personal, it's just my job to protect these people. Now hand over the card."

The message was fairly simple.
"Jim told me your ship came up missing. Yer a hard sumbitch to get ahold of. Text back if you need help. -Eric"
However, Tenebros approached Lia from behind, resting an aged hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down. Those suits are nasty unkind."

"Experienced one before? It would not surprise me." Lia turned her head to the side, glancing at Tenebros. "If I was not calm I wouldn't be moving, but I appreciate the thought."

"It seems that out of all the people on this ship, you are the only one not interested in keycards and blood," He said, a chuckle, punctuated by a wheeze, "It'd be a damn shame if we lost that sense of humanitarianism."

"Most of their worries are trivial, considering what lies aboard this ship unhindered. I have other things to be interested in."

Tenebros simply chuckled at this, closing his eyes, and with his next words, his voice went from being an elderly man's rasp to a deep, commanding tone. "And what exactly might that be?"

Eulalia Danae Das Steube Tenebros simply chuckled at this, closing his eyes, and with his next words, his voice went from being an elderly man's rasp to a deep, commanding tone. "And what exactly might that be?" He began chuckling, which shortly descended into a hearty laugh. "First you accept that I am your father, and beat around the one question that matters. Ever true to form." He stepped out from behind Lia, dropping his guise entirely, a sharp smile forming on his pale face, "I do think it is time to take matters firmly in hand. This entire vessel hunts for a stone, apparently one of great power. One would think... That having this stone in possession would put the owner in a excellent bartering position, do you not agree?" Xeen closed his red eyes, and crossed his arms when he had finished speaking, leaning against the wall.

"I've changed, where it counts, but some things will always remain the same." Lia turned the mechanical helmet to face Xeen, her eyes hidden by the dark red glass of a visor. "They're hunting for a stone, but it's no longer in the form they think it is. It needs to be destroyed, not bartered, not used. You recall what a stone did to you and your mind, do you not? As I said, the matters facing key cards and blood are trivial. The eye needs to be destroyed."

"Obviously the term 'Crooked Deal' means nothing to you. of course the stone needs to be destroyed, but not just yet. It has potential to benefit us in the interim. Destroying such a valuable asset would be foolish."

The suit beeped, a loud warning, and Lia had to struggle to calm herself to a far extent than ever before. "Benefit to us? I'm not looking for any benefit, and I don't want anymore lives on my head, enough trouble has been caused, enough has been lost. I hesitated once, and the result was a massacre, and this suit."

Arix, who had been standing right next to Lia that entire time just nodded, slowly putting things together.

I'm not looking for any benefit, and I don't want anymore lives on my head, enough trouble has been caused, enough has been lost. I hesitated once, and the result was a massacre, and this suit." Xeen paused, a brow raised. "Has it ever occured to you that the possible benefit could be getting you OUT of that suit? Or that I might be capable of removing it myself?" He stood straight, his eyes narrowing, "If we want to leave here alive, and not just you or I, ANY of us, that stone MUST be in our possesion. If we can join forces with the law woman and her paramour, then that is what we must do. If we have to kill a few convicts and degenerates, then I will gladly do so. I plan on leaving this ship alive, Ora. What say you?"
