Na-Wa didn't want Silonar shot, so he liked the big boss man's idea. Moving back to the cargo bay Na-Wa climbed up on the Tyrannous-Rex back and caressed it's head and talked to it. "Silonar, Na-Wa no want you to get shot, so you stay here and eat anything that comes into fly ship that is not a good guy. OK? Oh and stop pooping! Cat Lady don't like it and Na-Wa knows he has to clean it up."

With that Na-Wa came back to the front of the drop ship and told the big boss man he was ready. "Silonar is going to guard the inside of the fly ship."

(I'm very sorry for my absence, my life has been hectic of late but I should have been on more.  For so long many of the rpol games I was in were really slow, now that they are picking back up I need to adjust my habits accordingly.)

Amy takes the frog gently in her hand before slipping it inside her power-armor careful to make sure the pocket she picks will not be crushed if she moves.  Leaving a note against the windshield saying what has occurred and requesting that they don't breach her bird.

Then she joins the others to let Warrick teleport them out.

Na-Wa and Amy find themselves on the shore of the lake, about a kilometer from where the dropship emerged, and just a few hundred feet from the life-like statue underwater.

There are no visible structures of any kind - and no sign that this area could be home to a few dozen ex-Tolkeen soldiers.

A small detachment seems to be wating for the dropship crew, as they briskly walk over when they teleport out.

A group of 7 Brodkil demons led by a human battle-mage approach the 4-man crew. The human stares at the bunch for a few seconds, then removes his helmet.

"This is it? 2 privates, a merc and some midget civilian! Kitt's not gonna like this... you sure there is nobody else on board that ship of yours?"

He turns his back in a half-attempt to hide the radio transmission from the captives.

"Rend to command. We have 4 'guests' from the ship. 2 Tolkeen regulars... rank Private, a mercenary and some civilian."

A powerful voice responds...

"... ... I see... ... Well... I'm coming up."

The battle mage turns back, just in time as a few of the brodkil were inching closer, literally drooling on the ground.

"The Captain is coming up - if any of you try anything, don't think we won't burn you down. You wouldn't be the first Tolks I sent to an early grave. There are alot of us, so I wouldn't recommend trying anything... at all, other than answer the Captain's questions."

A few moments later, part of the ground, just 10 feet away appears to dig away at itself, until a large hole is created, seemingly to a bottomless pit. There is a moment of worry that the crew will be pushed into the hole - but it is relieved, almost, when a menacing looking Shifter with the rank of Captain on his soiled and battle-worn Tolkeen military armour.

He is wearing Bushman body armour, and a vest-like cape. He is also wearing a dozen gold medalions around verious chains on his neck. This Captain has bracelets, rings and even two gold teeth, and a blade-scar under his right eye.

He is followed by a woman, dressed much the same, a 12 foot tall cat-like demon dressed in bulky black robes, and a younger human male wearing old-style CS armour - sans the helmet.

The four new arrivals approach Amy, Na-Wa and the others glaring down any who meet their stares.

The Captain is the first to speak, with a sudden smile.

"Welcome friends! I hope the juggernauts were not too rough with your intake. I am Captain Theodore Kitt, and as you must know I have abandoned Tolkeen. I know in my heart that Tolkeen is not meant to survive in this world. I also know that the true saviours of humanity are the Coalition States and the Prosek family."

He pauses to guage the 'guests' reactions.

"I have been in communication with Coalition officers in the area, and they are ready to receive us. In exchange for our intel, they will grant us quiet homes within their vast empire. Our lives will not be needlessly sacrificed for the dying Kingdom of Tolkeen."

He says this last part with complete disgust.

"This is your only chance to take the high road and retire from all this killing and bloodshed. Join me, and my men. Leave Tolkeen behind and follow me to your salvation. What say you? Come on now, speak up, each of you. Don't be shy..."

Warrick looks to the others while he ponders how to respond.

Amy looks to the captain as he speaks, appearing to relax just a bit when she see's the catlike demon with him.  However when he goes on to talk about going over to the coalition she tenses up a bit.  "Look, I'm just a civilian myself, got drafted into this mess, but, the coalition, they don't let people like me have property, or have jobs, sometimes not even live.  How can you just you know, go over to them and think that they will let all of you live.  Sure you might be alright but what about me, or the others, do you think I want to be involved in all this, I don't have a choice!"

Na-Wa doesn't mention to any one that Silonar is still in the dropship, he hoped one of these bad men would go in there and get eaten.

When asked to join the badguys Na-wa gives his reply. "Everyone tells Na-Wa he is stupid. But Na-Wa also know that joining skull faced soldiers is more stupid then Na-Wa is."

"Skullface soldiers kill all of Na-Wa's tribe after making friends with his tribe. Skullface soldiers never tell truth."

Hopper stands up straight and puffs out his chest when Amy tenses up. He speaks after Na-Wa. "I am going to agree with my comrades on this Mr. Kitt. I have not seen a Coalition world where my kind would be accepted. I find the mention of us joining and being protected by the very ones who have destroyed our homes unrealistic. And frankly, I am shocked that you are not as angry as we are."

Warrick frowns the largest frown ever frowned at everyone's comments. "What my allies mean to say is the Coalition we know is not like the one you are talking about. There is no way we can just join you and flip our allegiance Captain. You will have to do better than that."

A smile grows across Na-Wa face, for once every one said the same thing. "See...Na-Wa and friends say fuck you to joining you."

"I accept your decisions. But I still want to know the size of your unit, and if they know where we are."

 - He motions to the brodkil and move in closer, obviously preparing to force the information out...

Na-Wa hisses at the brodkil, he wasn't going to tell the bad guys there were more good guys then his fingers and toes put together.

OOC: We still have out weapon on us.....or were were stripped of gear?

 - You were not stripped of gear -

Still hissing at the approaching bridkil, Na-Wa pulls both of his vibro blades from there sheaths, and activates them. He also actives the vibro claws on the left arm of his armor. The psi-stakler then places himself between the brodkil and his 'tribe' and crouches low, ready to attack.

"Ah... will you let us go if we tell you?" Amy asks, glancing nervously around at the approaching demon's, and to Warick for some kind of help.  One hand resting lightly on hopper's back hoping to keep him from doing anything rash, knowing that isn't really an option with Na - Wa.

"Yes I will let you go if you tell me. I am not a murderer, I do not want to hurt you, any of you. I thought you might see it my way, but if not I see no reason to kill you. But You should be aware that this man here is what Coalition call a mind melter. He can read your thoughts, and will know if you are lying. I demand of you, do not lie. Or the brodkil will eat well today. I have heard how your group conducts prisoner interrogations..."

He steps forward from beside the Raksasha demon when Theodore mentioned his unique abilities. He nods at Amy when she takes notice of him.

"You people are not in a position of any power. You can all go home if you forget who you work for and just worry about your lives. Give all of the information willingly to us, and we will let you leave - we will destroy the rest of your group when they come and nobody will ever know you were here."

"I'm not so sure anyone is coming for us... when we were taken by your juggernauts, our team was getting overrun with vampires and on the retreat. Someone may be assigned to our rescue but it could take days. The size of our force has likely been diminished, and they may not be the ones sent to free us. I think we are of little importance as far as information goes."

Theodore thinks Warrick's answer over for several seconds. "So why should I keep you all alive then?"

"Because as you said, your not a murderer.  Please, I'm just a simple woman, I got caught up in this because of the coalition, not because I wanted to fight in a war.  My home, all that is left of it now rests beneath that lake.  It is only because I am a pilot that I can say as much.  It is a simple transport, meant to convey people to and fro, not to fight in pitched battles, nor am I.  Read the truth of my words if you like, but I don't want to fight, I have had to.  And I fight for tolkeen only because tis better to fight along side the enemy of your own than by yourself.  I only hope one day to be free of this all so I can settle down again.  Please let us go, what Mr. Warrick said is true, I'm not sure of all the details but we were fleeing vampires when you took us, I thought, at first, that you were with them."

The Captain thinks Amy`s response over in his head. He reaches into a pouch on his armour and pulls out a chocolate bar to eat while he thinks.

"Very well... you are not free to go however. I believe they are coming for us, or for you. We are going to keep you around for a couple days. If they do come - we will have something to bargain with. If not, we will let you go. In the meantime, please remove all armour and weapons and leave them on the ground behind you."

Amy shifts nervously from foot to foot, her armor, or flight as she thinks of it the little that stands between her and the Broadkil.  She glances at them nervously, and warrick before back to Theodore, "Will you promise not to hurt me, or let them?"  She asks, her rifle already set upon the ground, but hesitating to go any further, obviously afraid of the man's less wholesome companions.

"I could have killed you all already with or without your armour. It is just to ensure you don't get any wise ideas to fight back now, or when your friends arrive. Also, there is a Coalition officer coming here shortly, and it would put him at ease to know my captives are not armed and ready to fight. So please..." He motions for them to continue removing their weapons and armour.

"Sir, I am going to set up a defense in case we are attacked."

"Dragana to all units. Come up to the surface, armed and ready. We may have incoming soon and we need to set up a defense."
