Assasin

Lexx walked into the lavish room and began to look around.

"I'm not an officer Colonel. I'm not sure I shoul sstay in quarters like these."

Lexx looked around some more. She walked back towards the entrance while she knodded her head.

"I can't stay here Colonel. Please don't take this wrong, but I prefer to stay in my ship. I'm just not comfortable in strange surroundings. I hope you understand."

Lexx was very nervous. She really liked the quarters, but years of being in the life she has chosen told her to never sleep in places she was not familiar with. Lexx's ship was her home and she preferred to keep it that way.

Lexx then wanted to change the subject and went back to the job at hand.

"Where will the men be trained, here or elsewhere? If somewhere else, when can we leave?"

Ilmus Stevenson

62 12:25am 11/01/07

Colonel: Stellar Enterprises Spec Ops

Ilmus's smile slowly vanished and he felt bad for making Lexxi feel the way she did at the moment. He had only wanted to make her comfortable. With a slow movement of his hand, the Colonel squeeze her shoulder gently and turned her away from the room.

"I'm sorry Lexxi. Of course you could stay on the ship. I did not mean to make you feel uncomfortable. Perhaps we could go get some chow and discuss the plans for training our men?" He smiled softly at her and lead her back down the hallway towards the hanger.

"They have trained somewhat here, however, I believe we should take them back to Sump soon and start training there in their natural evironment. If you agree I could assemble them tomorrow and head out."

Lexxi Banx

Assasin

"Please Colonel, it's just Lexx. And don't apologize, it's just the way I am."

Lexx listened to what Stevenson told her about the men.

"I think we should get them asembled ASAP and head to Sump. It's important to get on schedule and I don't want to be there when things hit their climax. Getting involved in polital issues is not something we normally do."

Lexx stopped and looked at Stevenson.

"It sais a great deal for your Mister Stellar that Cierra had agreed to do so."

Lexx and Stevenson returned to the hangar where Lexx's black ship was.

"Shall we leave in the morning then?"

Rob Stellar

64 2:29am 11/01/07

President of Stellar Enterprises

Rob smiled and looked over at Cierra as he completed his checklist.

"Than I thank you for having trust in me." With that, something took over inside him and he leaned over to kiss her cheek gently with a smile.

It was over quickly and Rob was not too sure what he had just done. All he knew was the taste and smell of her skin, which instantly brought back memories of his past wife. He didn't know what it was or how it could be, but that is how his mind reacted.

Without another word he hit a button and the topside hatch slowly slid open, revealing the night sky. He pushed the nose up as the repulsors kicked in and pointed the large ship towards the star filled heavens. With a nudge of the throttle the craft quickly started to accelerate away from the underground facility.

Cierra Dawn

65 9:39pm 11/01/07

CEO of Arahsi Incorporated

Cierra had noticed the kiss on the cheek but did not outwardly react to it. In her line of work, relationships were difficult. If she let thit turn into one , and if it should ever go bad, would threaten a business partner. It would also threaten her trust from Ishara.

Cierra decided to let it pass for now without mentioning it. She watched as the stars went by and listened to Rob as he described how much he loved to pilot his ships whenever he had the chance. Kyra responded the most to him as Cierra was quiet. Her emotions were still confused on how to react to Rob.

Cierra thought was interrupted as they reached their destination.

"What planet is this Rob?"

Ilmus Stevenson

66 12:07am 12/01/07

Colonel: Stellar Enterprises Spec Ops

Colonel Stevenson smiled and gave Lexx a nod. "Alright Lexx. We'll head out at 0730 tomorrow morning."

He looked at her and smiled before glancing over her ship slowly. "She's beautiful."

Rob Stellar

67 12:19am 12/01/07

President of Stellar Enterprises

Rob plotted the hyperspace course, which was pretty simple considering the coordinates were already stored on the ship's navcom. He pointed the ship in the right direction and slipped it neatly into the tunnel of hyperspace. Once done he turned around Kyra and Cierra, explaining to both that he usually had people fairy him our for the image of it. He was always glad to have some time to himself so that he could just go and pilot with is own hands.

The jump was not a long one and as they finished talked it was time to emerge. He took the controls and brought the ship out of hyperspace in front of a green yet mountainous world.

"Cierra, Kyra, welcome to Teyr." He smiled and glanced at both before moving towards them.

Once he finished talking with the air controller, Rob flew down through the atmosphere and towards a sparsely populated area on the edge on one of the cities. There, on a parcel of flat land, surrounded by glassland, stood a medium sized manufacturing facility.

Cierra Dawn

68 12:31am 12/01/07

CEO of Arahsi Incorporated

Cierra glanced down at the facility.

"It looks perfect! I can't wait for the tour."

Cierra was excited. As she looked at the facility her thoughts began to go to work. She invisioned how they would modify it to fit their needs and pictured the Arahsi Incorporated logo in the front of the building. Kyra was also very intersted.

"So that's out new home. I like it Cierra."

Cierra and Kyra smiled at each other. Cierra then looked to Rob.

"You really know how to read a girl's mind Rob. It's just as I pictured it."

The ship touched down as Cierra and Kyra along with Jay closely followed Rob to the ramp.

"Please Rob, after you."

Lexxi Banx

69 12:43am 12/01/07

Assasin

Lexx smiled as Stevenson complimented her ship. She knew it wasn't much, but it was her home.

"We've been through a great deal together and she's starting to show it. I'm not sure what we're going to do with it once the new ship is completed. Maybe I might have your boss give it a refit!"

Lexx waved to Stevenson and invited him in. She gave him a brief tour and told some stories related to some of the damage that could be seen around the ship. Lexx also listened as Stevenson told a few stories himself.

"You've led a dangerous life yourself Colonel."

Lexx noticed the time.

"I will see you in the morning. I'll meet you over by the barracks. I assume you have a ship planned for the trip?"

Rob Stellar

70 12:45am 12/01/07

President of Stellar Enterprises

Rob smiled as they both said they liked the facility. He was always glad when customer got what they wanted, but this was more somehow. This was a little personal. He really wanted Cierra to be impressed and be pleased about the facility.

"Oh no, please, ladies first." Rob smiled softly and bowed softly to motion with his arm.

When they were all outside in the tallish grass, they could see how large the facility actually was. Even from distance it was massive. Everything needed for the manufacturing of astromech droids was contained internally. There was no need for other builds to be created nearby

An object started to close in and revealed itself as a droid operated shuttle. They all boarded and got underway towards the factory. Before long they passed a large set of door and into the interior where assembly lines were underway created droids of various kinds.

"It is only running at 40% at the moment. So if you feel ready to produce more, you wont have any trouble cranking up the production."
