[b]Fortis turns around.[/b]
"Rook, what are you doing here?"
English
-
[b]Rook's tone of voice changes when he sees you.[/b] "Fotis, listen, I think someone is after me, they want to kill me." [b]Rook's head starts to dart back and forth, nervous.[/b]
-
"Same here. Any info about who they are? Their abilities? Anything at all?"
-
"No, not at all. It was a random shooting. They barely missed. I just started running, and ended up here."
-
"Well, if you stay around me, you are guaranteed to get shot at more. The only difference is that I won't let them kill you."
-
"Good, I'm just glad I found someone I know. So why are you here?"
-
"I am trying to find this guy who can make me a relic to save the dojo. How did you end up here?"
-
"I don't know. I just tried to run as far as I could to get away from these guys. But they're everywhere, I can't hide from them."
-
"Well you don't need to hide now. You can have a bodyguard of fifteen elite units if you want."
-
"I don't need some elite unit, I wouldn't be able to trust any of them, I'd most likely kill one of them."
-
"Uh, ok. I am not really sure what you want then."
-
"I just need more places to run."
-
"Well, I have some pretty fast ships."
-
"Those could be useful, if I could fly."
-
"Can't your AI fly?"
-
[i]Nope, have not been coded into something to fly planes.[/i] "Yeah, what he said."
-
"Well, what do you want from me then?"

Edited by Jäger: 1/15/2017 10:20:04 PM"I'll take the ship, just tell me the controls, I'll figure it out." [i]Rook, I'm picking up some heat signatures. Three guys, 133 meters away. I think they found us.[/i]
-
"Ok, the ship is right over there. It works almost like a video game, except faster and more explosive." [b]Fortis pointed to a larger than normal fighter, with a strange triangular node jutting out of the bottom.[/b]
-
"Sounds good." [i]I would run, now. One of them is equipped with a machine gun, another a rocket launcher, last with a shotgun. All heavily armored. They've spotted us. [/i] "Ok." [b]Rook starts running for the ship. Firing a few shots at the three men.[/b]
-
[b]Fortis lunges at one, using his wings' thrusters to gain extra speed, and throws him at the other two.[/b]
-
[b]The three quickly get up. One aiming his machine gun at Fortis. The other's aiming for Rook.[/b] [b][i]"We're not here to kill you. Only to kill the traitor."[/i][/b] [u][i]"Sir, I've got a clear shot."[/i][/u] [b][i]"Take it."[/i][/b]
-
"No one kills Rook without my consent. Why don't you three put your big boy pants on and talk about this like intelligent adults?"
-
[b]One of the soldiers takes a shot at Rook, hitting him in the leg. Rook falls to the ground.[/b] "Holy shit how are you THAT bad at shooting!" [b][i]"Listen, before Rook came to the dojo he commited a number of crimes. Illegal gun dealing to terrorists, theft of a drop ship, stealing and giving top secret info to our enemy, countless murders, illegally skipping mental health evaluations, and many counts of military property theft."[/i][/b]
-
"Words don't mean anything. If you have proof, then I will be glad to listen to you. But for the time being, you just shot a friend of mine and have given me no credible explanation for doing so. If you don't get that evidence, I will personally kill you."
-
[b]One of them hands you a file. Inside are photos of Rook caught commiting each crime listed.[/b] [b][i]"Now, does this clear our case?"[/i][/b]
