In the room the refugees had been herded into, fights were starting to break out.
"This is all your f*ing fault! You sold us out to the Kore!"
"There is no Kore, you moron, it's pirates, like before!"
"I blame the ACO."
"You f*ing..."
When it started getting physical, A.C. got hit. Someone had knocked a guy backwards into her, nearly knocking her to the ground. "Hey!" She shoved back and kicked full-force into his side.
Cassandra started laughing at the street punk rather raucously. It didn't attract much attention amongst the yelling, but she made sure the kid heard it.
A.C. started to turn around, surprised, but suddenly found herself on the floor. When her leg came back down so she could stand on it--and she was careful, because it hurt already--it had simply collapsed, and she couldn't believe her eyes. A.C.'s foot seemed to be hanging onto her by skin alone. There was far, far too much space between her knee and her heel, and the girl had the weirdest feeling that she would see the end of her shin bone if she moved it.
"Yeah. Absolutely brilliant, kid. You want to build up some bone density before you try that again? You can't go all out with no training and not expect to hurt yourself."
The ganger stared at her with an open mouth. "...Huh?"
Cassandra shook her head. "Get over here and I'll fit your bones back together. It'll be painful, but maybe it'll teach you something losing your arm obviously didn't do..."
Inwardly, she added, And maybe I can convince you to reconsider that name.

Tsukiyomi Morningstar Riley released control and let the ship dock, glaring darkly at Hunter. The kid was going to get them into trouble. With Hattie not around, Hunter's smart mouth ran wild.
"Created themselves? Like asexually or do they ********?" She asked bluntly, yawning painfully. "Both. The Human Replicates are just that. Others are produced in large factories." Johachim replied, casting her a odd look. The Rioreet was brought into the same cradle occupied by the Syrien, and they, also, were greeted by Captain.

"Factories? Sounds boring." Hattie sighed softly, wishing she knew what Eric up to.
Riley, Halise and Hunter emerged from the Rioreet and came down the ramp, taking in their new surroundings. Hunter was typing away on his mess of a Comm. Wires stuck out of the device and sparked now and again as Riley waved to Captain, her blond curls bouncing. Halise remained silent.
"Yo guys!" Riley smiled. "We're half the Crew of the Rioreet. The rest of the Crew and Hattie's idiot brother will be here in a day or so. They're somewhere around Eve. Anywho, where's MY Captain?!" Riley had a habit of rambling.

Das Steube Eulalia Danae Das Steube Again, the Keep responded similarly to when Tu and Eric hard arrived, asking the Riley to release control of the vessel and the Hunters would guide them in. Johachim nodded. "Captain is the first of many. Not all of the Hunters we built by me, the orignals were. Captain is the last surviving member. The others created themselves naturally." Captain paused, looking through the people have been checked in. "doesn't look like she's arrived yet." "What do you mean, not arrived yet? Are you saying she's still on the Gilgamesh?" Tu crossed her arms. "Is there any way to make this process go faster?" "It's going as fast as it can. Captain Eric Chase went to Sarluna to round up survivors of the crash. He should be entering orbit about now." "Well it's not going fast enough." Tu said in a harsh voice, her temper starting to rise, as it usually did when she felt things were out of her hands.

Ora stepped over by the Captain and Tu, recognizing the angry woman for who she was. "Your sister, was still on the Gilgamesh. I'm sure they've landed since then, but she is likely in one piece."

A.C. bit off a scream as Cassandra forcibly shoved her ankle bones back together.
"Never claimed I was a healer," the gray woman told her with a vicious grin, "but I know a bit about snapping bones back into place. Bet you're feeling dying nerves, aren't you? Next time do it the right way or don't do it at all."
The street kid stumbled back, crawling away as best she could through tears. "You're insane! You f'ck't'bpa witch! That's not medicine!"
Cassandra's face stilled, and for a moment she looked like living stone. Softly, she continued. "If you hold still and listen, little sword-hider, you may learn the story of the first A.C."
A.C.'s eyes widened. "You--" Her voice hushed. "You're ACO?!"
Cassandra went silent and beckoned the girl closer.
A.C. slowly crawled back and leaned against the wall next to the gray woman in black.

Captain paused, reguarding Tu.
"Captain Chase will bring you back your sister, I am sure."
His attention then turned to the newcomers.
"Hattie went with Doctor Mizrahi to have a condition dealt with."

Tu glared daggers at the Captain. "DO NoT DISMISS ME UNTIL I AM THROUGH! Who is this Captain Chase and how can I know he's dependable?!"

Eulalia Danae Tu glared daggers at the Captain. "DO NoT DISMISS ME UNTIL I AM THROUGH! Who is this Captain Chase and how can I know he's dependable?!" Captain turned on a heel, his sharp green eyes locked on the smaller form of Tu. "First of all, you will NOT shout at me. Second of all, Captain Chase and his crew are the only organics we trust. We've been established for almost two hundred years, fleshling, and him and his are the first we found we can fully trust. If it's good enough for us, he is good enough to bring your sister back here safely."

"Then why didn't you say so in the damned first place?! If either my sister or Ruby comes back here injured, I'm going to come after you with an electric can-opener from hell, got it?!"

Captain simply laughed. "If they come back harmed, lay your rage at the feet of the Kore, where it belongs. This is the very beginning of a war, Tu. People get hurt, and you'll do well to remember who hurts you. It hasn't be me or mine, has it?"

Tu gave a sharp nod, "It is a war. And I'm one prone to preemptive strike. But have no worries there, the Kore will get what's coming to them well enough, I'll make sure of that." Tu's words were slightly clipped, driven by an underlying rage towards the Kore, while the rest of her temper tantrum was fueled by general fear and concern for her sister. She'd already lost one, she was scared she would lose another, and though she would never admit it, Syx was the sister with whom she held the strongest ties.

Das Steube Captain paused, reguarding Tu. "Captain Chase will bring you back your sister, I am sure." His attention then turned to the newcomers. "Hattie went with Doctor Mizrahi to have a condition dealt with." Riley nodded and turned around on the others. "Halise, you go find Hattie. She'll probably want you and Sigil is no doubt driving her up a wall. Send him to find me." She paused, glaring down at Hunter. "And you!" She pointed a well manicured finger at him. "No hacking, electrical disruptions, discharges or any other Antics you usually get into." Hunter merely ignored her for the moment and turned around to walk back to the Ship. Riley stormed after him, cursing.
Halise stayed behind and bowed to the Captain. "Will you please tell me where this Doctor took our Captain? I would like to be with her." He spoke very softly and bowed again when he finished speaking.

I want them to act first."
