oO*Casey*Oo "Don't mess...." Casey has been aboard the ship and had tucked the A4 sized slab of technology into her backpack, which she had also retrieved from the ship. She figured Guido would ask as much, so had also stuffed in some snacks and drinks for her and Colo. "Sure sure, I knew it would happen just had no idea it would be so soon!" she exclaimed with an exasperated sigh and a playfully wink, before stepping down from the ship and taking off after Colo.
Casey rounded a corner, and let out a shrill whistle by placing her fingers into her mouth. Within seconds, a thundering hoofbeat rhythm began to sound, getting louder as whatever it was came closer. A friendly and affectionate smile swept it's way onto Casey's lips as a familiar beast's face lumbered up from the end of one of the streets.
It was Admin; Casey's overgrown Drequine. This particular beast had been attacked and shunned from his herd for being too big, and nearing the size of a Braath (I think :S) so Casey had found the wounded Drequine and taken him in as her own. The bay stallion reared up as it neared Casey, letting out a rumbling neigh and then gently nickered as it took to a trot towards the woman. Casey, being 6ft, stood about 3ft shorter than the beast, which, if angered, was extremely volatile.
"Hello sweetie," Casey cooed, rubbing the palm of her hand and her fingers over the beast's muzzle. Admin stuck out his forked tongue and lapped as the salty sweat on Casey's skin, before leaning down onto his knees and allowing Katie to clamber up. Everything about Admin had to be done on his knees, so Casey found out. After slipping her feet into stirrups, Casey slapped her ankles onto the Drequine's barrel and gripped with her knees as she chucked the reins and cantered after Colo, who would no doubt hear the pair before he saw them.
Colo was now in Casey's sights as she called out "Hey! Colo! Wait!"  {OOC:Here's we go, Admin is here! I'm in the process of using Paint to colour him -.-}

Koko slipped into sleep pretty quickly, though her slumber was far from peaceful. Strange, disjointed dreams filled her mind, causing her to twitch every now & again. Since you don't dream in cyro, these were technically the first dreams the girl had experienced in years. Men she didn't know kept flitting across her vision, though their faces were always in shadow; muffled sounds rang out, flashes of light highlighting white backgrounds whenever said sounds occured; fading into darkness then slowly waking to floating in a green water-like substance, bubbles passing in front of her face. These were just some of the strange visions the girl had, but she didn't wake.

oO*Casey*Oo "Don't mess...." Casey reached Colo, who tossed his dosier on Fin to the floor and yelled at Casey point blank. He said something about wanting to be free roamer. To be honest, Casey was bored at this point too. Guido had been a rather...distant mentor.
Casey decided that this was the right time to leave her little trio now turned 3 seperate explorers, and go after this 'Fin' herself, merely for the company now rather than to hunt the man down (that and she was curious as to how he was so dangerous). Casey slipped from the saddle and dropped to the ground with a sharp expulsion of air as she hit the ground with her heavy boots. After a while of reading the files and information, she slipped the dosier into her backpack and walked to the nearest bar, leading the Drequine by the reins.
Casey turned and slapped her Drequine Admin's chest a few times as praise and a farewell for a moment, before temporarily securing the massive beast outside, and stepping into the bar. Casey found him at once, with a rather small looking girl.
The pigtail donning teen made her way over to the pair and greeted them with a short wave and a gentle "Hello there..." {OOC:Sorry for godmoding but...it seems I had no choice....}

The mercenary did not look up at the new arrival for a moment, it was before she'd even spoken that he'd pointed his remaining revolver under the table and out of sight at one of her thighs, specifically aiming for a major artery.
He held fire, it was only due to the presence of a hit squad at his house, so he was keeping his eyes open for anyone that may of tracked him.
"Jeez, I can't keep the ladies away from me today!"
He laughed to himself then smiled slightly.
"aah, just messin' with ya. I'm Finn, can I buy both you lovely ladies some drinks?"
Despite his fairly relaxed and carefree appearance, he still did not lower his concealed revolver, as he was sure someone would try to kill him again today, woman or not, he wouldn't take any chances.

"Yeah."
Thyra chuckled.
"I was hiding indoors, with all the other merc's who had the same idea though there was this one cute-"
She stopped talking as a young woman came over to the table. She gave her a smile.
"Hey."
She looked at Finn when he started talking, flicking her naturally nearly-white blonde hair and giving him a grin.
"I'd love a drink, thanks."
She glanced up at the young woman before pushing Finn her glass.

Koko continued dreaming for a few minutes longer, murmering & twitching ever so slightly. Her last vision was clearer than the rest; she was in a white-washed room that had a single door in front of her, bright lighting covered the ceiling above her & there seemed to be a variety of furniture around her (such as a bed, chairs etc.). She looked down for a moment, seeing that she was sat cross-legged & there was a small teddy in her lap. Something made her look up suddenly - though she wasn't sure why as she couldn't hear anything. There was now a man stood in the room with her. He had greying hair, his eyes were obscured by a pair of shaded glasses & he was wearing a labcoat. He approached her & she looked down at her teddy again, gripping one of it's paws with her small hand. She must have felt or heard something because she looked up again, to find the man had lain his hand on her head & was smiling warmly at her.
Then she woke up.
Her eyes flew open & she lifted her head, her hands pressed against Finn's chest. The big blue eyes looked up at Finn's face, blinking slowly. As she turned her head she noticed Thyra - so she was still here - but then her gaze slipped to another woman now stood near the table. Her little body stiffened instantly, eyes distrustful. Next second she was gone, as though she had teleported or simply disappeared. In reality Koko was now hidden beneath the table, clinging to Finn's leg & staring at the revolver he was holding. She didn't know what was going on & she was frightened.

oO*Casey*Oo "Don't mess...." Casey nodded once at the offer of a drink and made no remark to the presence of the the revolver. She could understand his mistrust. "Look i'm not here to kill you, your dossier just looked rather...interesting..." she mused, letting her intimidating gaze settle on his face. He didn't seem all that bad. She felt the rush of wind as Koko hid away from her, and, Casey being Casey, she dropped down to her knees and pulled out a small stuffed bear from her shorts pocket.
"My mother gave me this right before she....." she paused.... "You can have it if you like sweetheart. I won't hurt you, here, his name is Borice," she admitted with a small squeaky giggle as she attempted to hand the frightened girl the bear. "I'm Casey," she mused, still holding out the bear with her right hand. {OOC:Awww! Koko!}

Finn holstered his revolver, which would probably of just misfired or broken had he squeezed the trigger anyway.
He leant forward, looking under the table at Koko.
"Stay with Thyra for a sec, I'll be right back."
The mercenary stood up and headed over to the bar, where a rather frightened bartender had already poured 3 glasses of the only alcoholic drink they sold that wouldn't kill you.
The bar only sold three different drinks, one being water, one being watered down industrial alcohol mixed with some kind of antifreeze and the other being a fermented fruit drink.
"Cheers."
He said, as he flicked a silver coin onto the bar, before picking up the drinks he'd bought and heading back to the table.

Koko blinked slowly at Casey, her eyes drifting to the bear, then up to the woman's face again. She turned at the sound of Finn's voice & held one small hand out after him when he walked away. After a second or so she snatched her hand back, as though something were about to bite it off. Without the man there to protect her, Koko felt even more nervous & so she looked down at her feet. She stayed that way for a while, until she again looked at Casey, still distrustful.
Slowly, the little girl reached her hand out, gripping one of the teddy's paws with her fingers. Pulling away she drew the bear towards her chest, holding it there tightly. She rested her chin on the toy's head, feeling the soft fur on her skin & smiling a little bit. Eventually she glanced up at Casey again & spoke, her voice barely above a whisper yet somehow sweet & musical.
"Thank you."

Thyra wiggled about in her seat for a bit so that she got a bit more comfy. The seats here were a bit hard and well used. Thyra looked over at Casey and Koko. She glanced quickly over at Finn before turning her attention back to Casey.
'What a strange woman. Walking up to strangers for a chat and giving children you don't know gifts? How.....old-fashioned.'
She stopped thinking for a moment to raise an eybrowbefore mumbling to herself.
"Is old-fashioned even the right word?"
She paused, realising she had said that out loud.
"Sooo.....Uhh...Miss...Why'd you come here again?"

As Finn approached the table he felt the familiar sensation of the barrel of a gun being pressed into his back.
A distinctly croaky voice, accompanied by a stench of stale smoke spoke quietly behind the mercenary's head.
"Outside. Now."
Finn placed the glasses onto the table then looked from Casey to Thyra and nodded.
"Ladies"
He then took a few steps towards the door, spotting what appeared to be some kind of heavily armed gang lined up outside.
The mercenary hesitated for a moment, weighing up his options, he glanced over to those he'd been sat with, hoping they'd noticed.
Someone really needs to put a bullet in this guy's head before I leave this bar or I swear to god they're buying next round...

oO*Casey*Oo "Don't mess...." Casey smiled serenly when the girl took the teddy bear, "No worries kid," she replied before standing up and sitting opposite Thyra. "Looking for that guy," she mused, turning to look at fin. Something wasn't right...Admin outside began growling as he was near a gang of some form. That was all Casey needed.
Rising slowly, she drew her a small but powerful firearm from it's holster on her waist. It looked like the mercanary was in danger. Casey called out, "Hey, you wanna leave that guy here?" she asked, firing off a single bullet. With one eye closed her aim was impeccable, the bullet embedded itself into the shoulder of the arm that held the gun. The man dropped the gun and cursed, lifting his cold eyes to Casey. "Yes you are then." she stated, gun pointed at the man. {OOC:}

The young girl peered out from under the table at the sound of Finn's voice, her face creasing with confusion when he began to move away again. Where was he going? That was when she saw the gun & let out a small squeak, beginning to shake. At the scene unfolding before her, Koko began to experience strange snippets of information drifting into her mind - as though they were from a time long forgotten. How to grip a neck... twist it.... such a way it snaps the spine. She took a step forwards, dropping the teddy bear.
Before anything happened though, a gunshot fired & she screamed. The sound was ear piercing, especially in the enclosed space of the bar. Next second Koko was huddled beneath one of the steps of a set of stairs with no recollection of how she had gotten there. To the average observer the girl had simply disappeared. Vanished into thin air. She huddled further into Finn's jacket - since she was still wearing it - & shivered. She didn't notice that there was another, rather inquisitive, creature sharing the space with her. It had large ears & a mouse-like appearance, its nose twitching ever so slightly.

Finn sidestepped away from the open door as his attacker recoiled from the gunshot.
The gang that were stood waiting for their man to deliver Finn to them had noticed the gunshot and immediately opened fire, quickly riddling the walls with holes, causing most of the inhabitants of the bar to hit the deck some dead, some alive.
The mercenary stood, he'd managed to place a heavy steel support girder between himself and the gunmen.
The bullets ripped through the rest of the bar like it was made of tissue, which was only partly true.
After a about thirty seconds, the firing stopped briefly as the gunmen reloaded their weapons. As the smoke and dust cleared for a brief moment, shafts of yellow sunlight shone through the bullet holes, illuminating the scene of destruction the occupants of the bar now found themselves in.
"Well s**t"
The gunmen readied their guns for a second volley.
