Welcome to Gaia! ::

Conner's full-body, perfectly white jumpsuit did not typically allow her to blend in, either. Her silver-white hair and near-human appearances allowed her to be conspicuous all the time as well.

"Well," she said shortly, examining the door that had just locked, "if that's the case, they'll probably be through this door in two. Stay with me, Gabe, and I might be able to erase your face. Maybe," she said apprehensively. But the main point was that they needed to move. Behind the sealed door was a maze of an engine room, with pipes, gears, moving machinery parts, and similar apparatus performing various tasks everywhere. It was loud and stinky--an easy place to get lost (or injured) in.

"By the way, I'm Conner, dunno if you already knew that or not," she said. "We should get moving." Then Conner proceeded to slip through areas of piping and engine. If Gabriel found himself too big to follow (for Conner was a slim gal) then he would simply need to improvise his own way through. Conner wasn't trying to lose him, but the nature of their situation meant it might happen anyway.

Kajin sighed deeply as she grabbed another beer and heaed over to DPC officer. The usual customers that watched her go back to him wanted to pull her away but knew they couldn't. Kajin reached the pffice and after setting the beer down she took her seat. With that the officer wrapped his right arm around her and began to drink. "Imjhap eianfdjo eiapojd ueoadn adeap iphs. Haoo bafi hafja upapgap ookha itha (Why are you trying to stay away. You know I don't like it)." Kajin holds back a sigh and places her hand on his shoulder. "Of course I apologize."

Conner seemed to be unaware that she was famous. Did that mean that, among the 'Cure' android army, she was... infamous? "Well, gee, thanks," the girl said, and one might think she was going to blush, but... apparently not. Conner had to contort her body slightly to fit through this last set of pipes, bending over backward to nearly touch the floor with her forehead and/or nose, before squeezing through the space and falling into a stumbling walk. When she recovered her balance, Conner stood close to what appeared to be a wall, but on closer inspection would actually be discovered to be a large metal door. It just happened to be metal, and, what do you know, they wall happened to be made of... metal, too. Go figure.

Conner waited for Gabriel to arrive, telling him once the cyborg-looking man did come that they were directly inside the wall of a large underground pub. Once lost inside this pub, she continued to say, they would be almost untraceable. On the other hand, it became extremely easy to become lost.

"I know a guy," Conner was saying. "He cleans the incinerator room. Came to me two days ago and told me he had found something, something big. You know what he'd found?" she asked, turning to gaze into where she assumed Gabriel's eyes were. "It was a body."

There was nothing special about a body being tossed down the incinerator. This was done all the time. "Thing was," Conner continued, "this body had something very... interesting," she said, "on it. Something the Resist- Police should see."

Apparently, it was something that hadn't burned.

((I'll probably make something up, but if you have an idea about what this could be, just PM me. I'm thinking of introducing plot here. Maybe the dead guy was smuggling something--but they didn't find the valuables when they killed him? And now Gabriel has to help get the item to some underground allies across the station? Just a possibility.))

((Also, the original idea was for them to be outside Kajin's bar, but I read back... that's underground, isn't it? As in, not on the Icarus. Hm.))

((It's in Icarus, I used under ground metaphorically. Example would be when I said underground I met that it was well hidden and not in an area where you would easily find it.))

Kajin felt more relief when the slime ball (in more then one way) got up to leave after only feeling her up a little bit. As the DPC officer left Kajin headed behind the bar and took a quick straight shot of something at random. "You know Kajin, you shouldn't be doing that." Kajin sighs as she look over at one of her regulars, a four armed, green, alien known as Guroet. "I know, but if I don't he'll shut me down. There are families with children living in the back. I have to keep them safe."

((Waits for a proper opportunity to post...))

((If anyone sees an opening, please say so.))

Wot?))


Gabriel grunted somewhat as he bent a final pipe out of his way to get through. It hissed in protest, and ruptured shortly after, sending a cloud of steam towards his face. He marched through, wiping the lenses that were his eyes as he cleared the cloud. "Do tell... what was this thing?" he crossed his arms over his chest, talking to Conner like a child who just told him there were monsters under the bed.

Gabriel listened to the story intently. There were always rumors of such devices. Libraries of enemy intelligence just waiting to be grasped. Everything in his circuitry told him to disregard everything the woman had said... but something intrigued him, "You're asking a lot of a stranger aren't you?" Gabriel chuckled somewhat, but the woman's tone sobered his own. He bowed somewhat... perhaps an overly-formal action, "You can". He took a step towards the female, grabbing her wrist and pulling her close so as to hear him better, "But listen... urban myths about these types of things always surface now and then. Are you really prepared to risk your safety?" he asked seriously. A test of her will... or perhaps his own.
