Could this be home?

[Axle Sourn]

The hydraulics whined as the ramp lowered, allowing the rush of fresh oxygen and real light into the transport that had just touched down on Fondor. Axle Sourn stood at the top of the ramp and took in a deep breath, enjoying the purity of the oxygen that filled his lungs. It had been a long voyage. He squinted as his eyes adjusted to the sunlight.
He picked up his duffle bag and slung it over his shoulder, and walked down the ramp with the other travelers. His eyes scanned his immediate surroundings for threats, a habit he picked up from his years of being in combat. He blended in with the crowd as they left the hanger and continued into the city.
As he walked, he ran through his checklist in his head. Find a place to stay, find an occupation where his skills could be put to use, and finally, find someone to continue his training in the force. But first and foremost, he needed to find a cantina.
Finding a cantina was not hard at all. He stepped in and again, scanned the area. Feeling confident that there were no threats, Axle approached the bar and caught the attention of the bartender.
"What'll ya have son?" The bartender asked.
"A lager and a shot please".
After a few moments, the two drinks were placed before Axle. He nodded at the bartender and picked up the shot. He raised the glass slightly and whispered.
"Save a spot for me brothers"
He downed the shot and let the burning sensation emanate through his chest. He set the glass down stared off, lost in the recesses of his mind, reliving all the horrors that he wish he could forget...

Nyos sat at the bar sipping on some corellian whiskey. A face at the bar, one he's never seen before. He walked over and ordered another whiskey.

Hello lad, the name's Nyos. You must've just come in with the new recruits. Glad to have you soldier. It's nothing big, but my full rank and name is 2nd Lt Nyos Val of the Omega Main Army. I'm an officer of the Medical staff, but I'm one of the most prominent front-line fighter in the Protectorate.

A voice drew him out of his hell. Axle looked over and saw the owner of the voice. It belonged to a man. Well, mostly a man. He had many different cybernetic enhancements, most of which looked very expensive.
At the mention of rank, Axle snapped to attention and saluted. Some habits were hard to break.
"I'm not a recruit yet sir, I arrived here on my own accord. But I am definitely open to put my skills to good use. I'm eager to serve, and eager to train".
Going to the cantina first is always the best option. Axle thought to himself

@Nyos Val

 

[Nyos Val]

Well, glad to have you either way. If you need anything, you let me know, Nyos placed a communicator on the bar and slid it over to the man, Nyos had just got a new one since his was wearing out, but this man was going to be part of the Protectorate. He needed a welcome gift.

Ah a nice drink with a friend,nothing could match that. "Nyos,what's up bro?" Noah asked as he sat beside his battle brother and smiled,of course that was until a big zabrak came over frowning at him. "Hey,your in my seat." To this Noah looked at the man and stood up to smile at him,but secretly he had grabbed a bottle of whiskey off of the counter and held it behind his back. "I don't see your name on it." Noah informed the man with a feign smile,to which the man pulled a vibro knife and was about to stab him,that was until Noah smashed the bottle over the man's head with enough force to knock him out. He again sat down and then ordered another drink. "What can I say bro,some guys are just idiots."

 

[Nyos Val]

Nyos jumped to his feet as Noah knocked the stranger out cold. Nyos scanned the bar for other 'hecklers' who wanted to brawl.

Looks like you made some new friends commander...A bootle came sailing from the corner where a group of traders cackled until Nyos caught it with out breaking his stare on Noah and Axel.

Here comes trouble boys.

Nyos patted Axel and Noah on the shoulders and cracked his neck. Looking back at @[member="Axle Sourn"] as he walked towards the group of a dozen traders, Welcome to the Omega Protectorate...he said with a grin stretching from ear to cybernetic ear.

@[member="Noah Corek"]

 

[Axle Sourn]

Axle picked up the communicator and nodded his thanks as he clipped it to his belt.
"My name is Axle by the way"
Axle raised his hand in the attempts to shake, when Nyos' attention was diverted to what seemed to be his friend. Axle let them converse as he returned his attention to his lager. He had just put the drink to his lips when the Zabrak arrived. Axle quietly placed his glass down on the bar and let his hand discretely rest on the handle of his blaster. Axle didn't have to turn around to know that the sound of glass breaking was due to the free reconstructed surgery just performed on the Zabrak's face, compliments of Nyos' friend. And, as customary in any cantina disagreement, the antagonizor always had friends.
Axle felt Nyos' heavy pat on his shoulder and Axle Jumped to his feet and squared of with his new friends. Axle didn't miss the reference to Nyos' friend being a Commander. But that is something he would inquire about later, right now, it was time for a smack down.

"What can I say bro,I'm a likeable person." Noah said as he followed behind Nyos. Once they had got to the table a large and overly smelly Trandoshan stood and looked Noah in the eye. "You just knocked our friend out." Noah chuckled at this and let his mouth get the better of him. "First,get a fething mint,second,he pulled on me and third,sit down and shut up." On the last thing,Noah brushed aside his large overcoat to reveal his weaponry,two OPP-2 blaster pistols,a Corek Custom Revolver and three vibro-knifes,hoping to stop this before a full on brawl insued.

 

[Axle Sourn]

There seemed to be three would-be heroes who wanted to avenge their buddy. The trandoshan seemed focused on @[member="Noah Corek"], and the other two, (a human and another zabrak) had their eyes locked on @[member="Nyos Val"]. This worked out perfect for Axle. As their attention was elsewhere, Axle slowly eased right to establish a flank. One step, they didn't seem to notice. A second step, still they didn't seem to notice.

Axle kept moving till he had a perfect flanking position. If they charged his comrades, he would bull rush them, hoping to take them off guard. However, if they drew weapons....Well, then they would learn how fast Axle could draw his. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that....

 

[Nyos Val]

Nyos chuckled as @[member="Noah Corek"] displayed his personal armory to the Trandoshan. It being very inebriated, couldn't recognize the danger, it charged Noah in an attempt to bring him to the ground. A pair of his friends[human and zabrak] saw their friends decision and ran at Nyos. Axle had moved unseen into a flanking position and seemed ready for the two to make their move. Nyos prepared for their attack, if one got by @[member="Axle Sourn"], then he would just break them.

You sure know how to please a crowd Sir, he spoke to Noah as he was being rushed, Don't hog all of the fun.

 

[Axle Sourn]

They had barely taken their first step when Axle exploded into action. He charged forward at the two unsuspecting assailants. The human was closest to Axle, so that was his target. As he closed the distance, Axle lowered himself and drove his right shoulder into the human's hip. The human let out a yelp as the momentum cause him to roll to the his left side, onto Axle's back. At this, Axle snapped back upright which caused the human to flip over Axle where he landed atop a bar table, which broke on impact.

Axle was still moving, the Zabrak turned towards his comrade, just as Axle's haymaker connected with his face. The Zabrak spun and landed with a sickening thud and remained motionless. Axle turned to see how his OWN comrades were fairing.

The Trandoshan came at his with his teeth bared,that was until Noah gave him a uppercut that cracked his jaw and sent him sprawling onto a table with a Rodian,Twi'lek and Human females. "Ladies." Noah said to them with a smile and a wink,before turning around and punching a Rodian in the face. "I'm not hogging,you just can't your cybernetic butt in gear." Noah jested as he fought.

 

[Nyos Val]

Nyos ducked a right cross and straight kicked a random patron who jumped in on the fun. The man flew across the bar from the powerful legs of the cyborg.

"Now you may have a point there Commander"

@[member="Noah Corek"] @[member="Axle Sourn"]

 

[Axle Sourn]

The brawl seemed to be over. Axle walked up to his new comrades. "Well, that was fun. Does this count as my interview?" He couldn't help but smile. He wanted to find a place to belong, and the Protectorate seemed like a good fit.

[Nyos Val]

I'd say that this quallifies you for a lot of things, first, my new favorite person and second, Welcome to the Protectorate, Nyos stuck out a metal hand in as a greeting. @[member="Axle Sourn"]

 

[Axle Sourn]

Axle returned the greeting and shook the metal arm.
"So, what now? We got the bar fight out of the way."
@[member="Nyos Val"] @[member="Noah Corek"]

 

[Nyos Val]

Well, now let's get you up to HQ and set up with a place to stay, and gear. So what are you good with? We have trainers for all types. I myself train in field medicine and CQC, we also have 'Force Users' and weapons specialists. Take your pick, but for now let's get you settled...Nyos led Axle to the door and out into the city. He flagged a taxi to take them to HQ to get Alxe in the roster.


@[member="Axle Sourn"]

 

[Axle Sourn]

He thought for a moment. "I'm pretty good at CQC, but I'd like to learn more. I studied with the jedi for a while, so I'd like to enhance my force abilities as well. Weapons, I'm well trained with many different weapons systems."
