Eceil awakens in a gutter the next morning, with a mind splitting headache and no recollection of the latter half of the evening. His blaster pistol and knife are still on his body, though, so nothing too bad could have happened last night.
Fighting his way through the hangover he pulls out his data pad. Theirs no messages from the others on it, hinting to Eceil that he’s first one awake today. That…or everyone else was killed while he slept.
Either way, its time for him to get back to base. Eceil struggles to his feet and starts the trek towards the safe house, noticing with approval that last nights drinking and today’s hangover had wrestled the force out of his thoughts again.

<font color=yellow>Eciel, however, notices the bloodstain on his shirt as he stands, and then feels the wound, as the ground rushes up to meet him. (25 points of damage) Only through sheer will does he stay conscious---he knows, however, that he can't get back to base.

Te'Oma (still on the previous night, but not for long) is told, after a little bit of encouragement, that the Barabel was hired to see what was going on at Carracks Incorporated. He doesn't know his employer---he was merely supposed to drop off a data disk at a location. Unfortunately, it is obvious that you can't make it there in time, as you don't know exactly where he's talking about and have no immediate transportation.

Keal is ushered to the lobby, where he is told that a representative will be right with him. He waits for two hours without anyone coming.

Joneth (still on the previous night) finally returns to base, with Barrick.</font>

<font color=green>Finally in his room, Joneth refuses to leave for the whole night, nor that next morning. When any9one comes in, they see him at his datapad, from which he glares at the perpetraitor of disturbing his concentration. As soon as they leave, he would immediately return to work.</font>
OOC: Haven't posted a while, been very busy both in real life, and setting some things up for this role play. :D

OOC: What data disk? The one i'm carrying?
Also, at the base, is there any facilities where I could keep this fellow overnight?

OOC: The Barabel was told to investigate the happenings at Carracks Incorporated, put them on a data disk, and deliver said disk to a drop-off point. There also aren't any places to "store" the guy overnight, unless you decide to clean out a janitorial closet.

<font color=red>"I don't have time for this..."Keal says under his breath and turns around back twards the guard."Excuse me, I've been here for two hours and haven't seen anybody, so could you please try to contact the representative so someone will come? It's very important I get my questions answered."</font>

OCC: Glad to have you back, Dron_Cah.

Pain.
Eceil was lying on his back, gazing upwards at the city now from his spot in the alleway. He felt the wound loud and clear, it sat like a boulder in his gut and screamed to him like his first wife. Forcing himself into an upright position his right hand touches the wound and brings its bloody evidence up to his face.
Well this is new.
Eceil’s training kicks in and without even having to ask his clean hand pulls the old data pad out. The fall had cracked its screen but the clunker still worked. Doing the best he could to type with one hand he sends a distress call out to whom ever from the team is listening. As soon as he sends the message a new bout of pain dives into his belly and the veteran goes down on his side, swearing softly.
A day an a half back on Courescant and the city had finally gave him the greeting he deserved.

<font color="dodgerblue">Te'Oma stares at the Barabel for a while and then loosens his grip.

"Pfh, mercenaries. Give me the Data Disk"

Taking the disk off his attacker, he does a quick check for any more weapons on him and then stands up.

"If I ever see you again, I can assure you there wont be a third time. And I best not catch you snooping anywhere around Carracks Incorporated. You're lucky you chose to attack me. There are many people I know who wouldn't let you leave so fortunate. Trust me, if you value your life or your limbs, I will never see you again."

Te'Oma backs away from the Barabel slowly and returns to the head quarters at a brisk walk. He stows the data disk safely in his pocket to see if he can retreive any information from it. He may not have been the Barabel's first port of call.
On return, Te'Oma heads straight for his quarters and slumps into a deep sleep.


*****


Hours later, the next morning, Te'Oma was awoken by a flashing coming from his datapad every few seconds. Heaving himself up, he checks what the blips were about. On seeing Eciel's message, he quickly got up and made his way to the origin of the signal. As he was walking, a thought entered his mind... 'Eceil.. He was the xenaphobe wasn't he? Ha, this is going to be original'...

Some time later, after making his way across town to the Cantina, he searched the streets until he found a person crumpled on the floor by the walkway. Running over, warily, as to not walk into some kinda of ambush, he approched Eciel and spoke

"Want some help? Or are you too scared I had to read your mind to realise you needed some?"</font>

OOC: Tell me if I find anything on the Pad [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=yellow>Te'Oma: the disk was broken, probably in the fight, and as such is unsalvageable.

You find Eciel in bad shape, lying in a corner, ignored by the rest of the world, and obviously recovering from a bout of poisoning himself recreationally.

Eciel...well...erm...you wait for a while, while people ignore you, and you see a Nautolan approach you...the very same Nautolan you had your incident with yesterday.

Keal, sorry for now, but I am going to wait until Shadowhound & TheGrandSlayer update, as they were also "going to investigate the shield company." When I find out what they were doing, I'll update yours, as it would have an effect.

Anyone who starts their day watching the holonet (like cable TV in this setting) will note that there has been a breach of security at Senator Rask Fey'lya's office in the Republic Senate. The perpetrator managed to avoid being on camera, but investigators are still looking into it.</font>

<font color= green>For those who check their datapads this morning, they will notice that Joneth has called for a meeting of the entire team that evening, in one of the council rooms. His message tells you it is very important, and that he has what he calls "<font color=white>actual</font>" leads. He also mentions, after watching the holonet, that the team should steer clear of the senate for a few days.</font>

OOC: Everyone please have your characters in the council room, tonight. I don't have time to cover a meeting, right now, but I plan on taking care of all this later tonight. I probably wont be able to update much after that for a couple of days, but I should give you enough stuff to go on for a while. [img]smile.gif[/img] For now, I'm off to lunch, and to study chemistry. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Edit: forgot the stupid sig, again, lol!
