Full Metal Jacket [Kail | Noah]

[Coci Heavenshield]

Part of the night was spent in communications, Aerin had contacted a [member="Noah Corek"] in Fondor, and arranged a meeting to purchase some weapons and armour. The rest of the night spent in her quarters, thinking, not much sleeping.

The return of [member="Kail Ragnar"] to the capital, along with him the name of the man that killed her father.. and more. It was the added information from his assignment that had Aerin worried. On the morrow, Aerin went down stairs and saw to breakfast. Kail would arrive soon to partake and as he had agreed to accompany her on this trip, to aid her in purchasing the weapons, they would travel together via shuttle. She needed an educated eye on the 'goods' and after they had established a price for his skills, an agreement and plans where made.

Her packed bag sat by the door of the Inn, her sword rested against the wall .. the only weapon, beside her lightsaber, to come with her this trip. Only idol chatter fell in the room as they had breakfast, and soon enough they had made the shuttle for Fondor. Aerin took a long look around the ship, it reminder her of the one that had crashed on Hoth, her shoulders slumped slightly and she hoped this trip would not be as eventful.

I will have to change this situation as well. So much she wanted to do, to achieve, but so little time. Aerin would have to learn to be patient.

Aerin turned her head, to see if Kail was on board as the shuttle was about to depart. Strap in .. always strap in. Now her motto after Hoth.

Midvinter Spaceport
2 hours earlier

Showing the Spaceport official his fake ‘Beast Hunters Guild’ membership identification, to allow him to carry weaponry (required to be unloaded in public of course when not in company of the Guild), Kail kept his head down from boarding the shuttle in Midvinter a few steps behind the fiery Firebrand – how apt.

Sticking out like a sore thumb in his white and grey survival gear, Kail removed the hood, goggles and gloves and unzipped the jacket. It was still awfully cold outside, so he would sort his attire once arriving on Fondor, which would take a good few hours with another stop en-route. That was the bane of public transport; slow and indirect, BUT would not provide an easy footprint for anyone to follow.

Kail sat a few seats behind the warrior girl and simply nodded at her when she met his gaze, allowing them both to relax as best they could. He used the trip to think about everything; Firebrand, Matsu, a civil war, protecting Firebrand, arming a nation, breaking bones, laughing with Matsu on a rainy planet – lots of jumbled thoughts, lots of hopeful dreams.

Fondor Spaceport
Fondor, Fondor System

Fascinated by the numerous orbital shipyards surrounding the planet, Kail smirked and tried to look over to see how Firebrand was taking being out of HER comfort zone now they were well away from the Valkyri. A sword wasn’t going to do much for her here.

Filing out with those leaving the shuttle, Kail waited with his backpack on his back, now containing his jacket, folded up across the top. His sandy brown shirt was rolled up at the sleeves and his armoured vest covered his torso; white and grey combat trousers didn’t quite compliment his top-half, but he had no choice without change of clothes.

She finally climbed down the fold-out stairs and walked up beside the mercenary.

”Welcome to the modern world, Firebrand. Don’t talk to any strange men.”

"I wouldn't consider myself a strange man." A voice piped up from the edge of the landing platform, it was a man dressed in the standard Omega Pyre black and grey digital camo fatigues. Of course Firebrand would know who the man was. "Ms.Firebrand I thought the we were going to have this meeting alone?" Noah asked as the two Pyre soldiers who were his bodyguards shifted uncomfortabley at the change in the scenario.
OOC: Sorry for the short post, I've been crapped out lately

Of course Aerin just smiled at Kail's comments. "This is not my first time away from Midvinter, Kail", she added to the look. However, before she could go on further, a voice greeting them from the side.

Her head turned to see the man they had come to do business with. His image clear enough from the holocommunications, and once the meeting had been arranged they can get to it.

"I have enlisted the aid of my friend", she used the term loosely, "I need a more educated eye on the purchase, as I confess my knowledge is lacking on such matters. I do hope there is no problem?". She asked in a friendly but firm manner, after all it is she that has come to part ways with her credits.

((OOC: No problem Noah ))

Gripping both sides of his armoured vest with his hands, standing neutral beside Firebrand, Kail couldn't help frown slightly at the blunt response from Firebrand, but before he could reply he was the recipient of more cold reception from the tall man, standing there with puffed out chest and slick blond hair.

He was about to speak up, noting the shift in posture from the two armed brutes by him, but Firebrand was there again with another strange reply. Was Kail here for decoration? Did they not know who he was? She certainly was pushing it - she could of at least introduced him. Without Kail, she wouldn't even BE here now trying to save her backwards planet.

”Kail Ragnar.”

He stepped forward with a quick nod.

”Let your goons stand down will you? They make me nervous, and I don't think you need to embarrass yourself with them here. Miss Firebrand just wants to do business.”

He shifted slightly so the KX-60 rifle came into view across his back.

”Nothing sinister."

Noah looked back at the two guards and motioned them ti stand down, this of course still meant they were ready to attack if anything went wrong. "Alright, so what is it you were looking to purchase today Ms.Firebrand?"
