Cannon steps put of the shadows, his black armor having blended almost seamlessly.
"Huh, I can count the number of people that have spotted me on one hand. Impressive."

[spoiler]Dude! You're back?[/spoiler] "You get to see things that don't Belong in the environment after a few years living underground."
-
[spoiler]Yeah, been a bit busy. You're the only one that seems to have noticed I left.[/spoiler] Cannon nods. "I can imagine."
-
[spoiler]Well of course! You're a friend, why wouldn't I? [/spoiler] "Before you ask what I'm doing, I'm going to save someone."
-
"Well, that leads to two questions then. Who are you saving and do you need any help?"
-
"I'm going after a Platoon of dojo guards that went missing while exploring one of the uncharted islands. Any help would be appreciated."
-
"No one's ever batted an eye at missing guards before, why now?" He asks, falling in step beside him.
-
"Because.... Because it's Corporal Broadside that is leading them, and Broadside was one of my top students that's why."
-
Cannon nods. "Well, you can count me in."
-
"Really? It's off the books... Nothing in it for you."
-
"If I had a platoon of my men go MIA, I'd be searching for them too. Besides, it's not like I have anything else to do."
-
"You have a ship? Because if not. We'll need to borrow one."
-
Cannon nods. "Yeah, we can use my ship. I just got it's weapons refitted, so it's ready to go."
-
"Well then, let's get to it shall we?"
-
Cannon leads him to his ship, and ugly L-shaped MandalMotors Persuer-class enforcement ship. "Here it is, the Shriek Hawk."
-
"Nice looking ship ya got here. I'm a fan."
-
"Thanks vod, it cost me a fortune. Packs enough firepower to knock out a large cruiser." He opens the door and disables security.
-
"Shit really? Modified at at all?" [b]He entered the ship, falling Cannon [/b]
-
"Yeah. Really heavily modified." He leads Watcher to the cockpit.
-
"Kinda a small though, you ever smuggle anything?"
-
"I'm not going to answer that one." He chuckles, lifting off. "Where we heading?"
-
"First land mass 25 or so miles East of here."
-
"Alright, should be in sight within fuve minutes." The ship flys smoothly in that direction.
-
"Excellent! Be prepped for anything."
-
Cannon nods. "Engaging stealth systems and arming weapons. Disruptors, ion cannon, and lasers are charged. Missile and torpedo safeties are off. Shields at 100%."
-
"Maybe not that much. ..." [b]Watcher chuckled slightly [/b]
