Gaea, often refered to as the "Second Earth". Being the Second Earth, Gaea is also a member of the CWC, Core World Confederacy.

A lone, battered Geraldy XJ4200 exited interspace with a flash. Instantly it slowed to a near stop.
"That never gets boring."Francis said as he set about making fresh calculations for his next jump.
"Next stop Paxor Prime?" Shamus said hopefully.
"Yeah, this time." Francis said as he waited expectantly for the coordinates to come back.
"We're not going to have to do multiple jumps everytime are we?" Shamus asked, hoping that they wouldn't.
"Fortunately for you, we don't need to." Francis said as the navi computer beeped at him. With gusto, he jumped them back into interspace, on towards their destination; Paxor Prime

Wil flipped open a disc and slipped it into her console. The program that ran would change the identity information her transponder was transmitting; now, she was captain Ruby Isles, of Dyson's Folly. The transformation was completed not a moment too soon; her comm squawked with feedback as she settled in her seat. "You are in Paxor space. Identify yourself and state your purpose," ordered a harsh, metallic voice.
"Captain Ruby Isles of the cargo vessel Dyson's Folly. I have a shipment of goods awaiting delivery on the planet's surface" she replied, the same litany she always offered. Whenever she came to Paxor she was Ruby Isles. It had never failed her.
"Welcome back to Paxor, Captain Isles. Docking bay 133 is available for you. Do you require an escort?" came the voice again, this time modulated to a slightly deferential, polite tone.
"Thank you, but no. I can find my own way. Permission to land?"
"Granted. Enjoy your stay."
Wil grinned and began her descent.

Francis woke from his sleep to the sound of the alarms he had set to wake him a few minutes before they were due to leave interspace. He walked to the cockpit where R9 was already waiting for him and Shamus to arrive.
"You been up all this time?" Francis said. R9 beeped a reply "What am I doing, I don't understand you. Here I am in the depths of space talking to a tin can. If you were mine, I'd say I was losing my mind."
"Maybe you are." Shamus said as he entered behind him. Shamus sat down in the flight chair he had everso politely been introduced to last time.
"I must be to have taken on this job." Francis said as he set about changing his transponder signal. He would have done it earlier, but the point he had left interspace at Gaea was too far from them to be detected as The Scimitar.
"What are-" Shamus started, but before he could finish, Francis interrupted him.
"I'm changing the transponder signal of this ship." Francis started, "I'm changing it so port authorities won't recognise my ship."
"Recognise? You mean you've been here before?" Shamus said before Francis could continue.
"Listen, I've been to most places you could think of. A man in my line of work gets around a lot." Francis said as he settled on a transponder.

The mottled sky of interspace settled back into the jeweled black canvas of space. Ahead in the viewport sat Paxor Prime, the Cybron homeworld.
"There she is, Paxor Prime." Francis said as he sat back in his flight chair, waiting for the inevitable.
"What's the plan for when we get down there?" Shamus said as he looked on. One inevitable down; one to go.
"You have entered Paxor Prime airspace, indentify yourself immediately." came a voice over the intercom.
"Keep quiet, no matter what I say." Francis said to Shamus sternly. Shamus nodded.
"This is Captain Pellaeon of the Destiny's Way." Said Francis with a glare at Shamus.
"State your purpose." Came the voice again.
"Me and my crewmate are on a tour of the neighouring systems, Paxor Prime was the next destination on our list." Francis said.
"Allow me to welcome you to Paxor Prime. Please proceed to docking bay 426. Would you like to be escorted?" The voice chimed politely.
"Thank you, that would be most appreciated." Francis replied, equally as polite. He keyed off the signal and turned to Shamus.
"You lied, do you think they'll fall for it?" Shamus asked.
"They should. They have no reason to not believe us." Francis said as he waited for their escort to arrive.

As Wil made her approach, one of the sensors aboard notified her of having picked something up. She frowned and switched it on. It was the profile of a ship with characteristics that paralleled those of the ship with those two guys, the ones hunting the Psylocke. "Hey, Zeph, run a match of this vessel against the record number 7783. Tell me what the probability of it being the same ship is," she told her shipboard computer, as she began the landing sequence. She had just fired her boosters to slow her approach when Zeph's voice replied, "There is a ninety-seven point oh three four percent chance that this vessel is the same as record seven seven eight three."
"I'll take those odds..." Wil murmured. "Keep track of them and tell me where they land..." she asked as she touched down. She would stay aboard until such time as she had her answer...

After almost finding herself in some trouble when the ship's owner had entered the Cargo Bay, Jinx had since managed to crawl into the venting system. And, from inside here, she tries to find her way to the control room, and, as she crawls around, listening out for any other crew members. She'll need to know just what she'll be dealing with if she decides to continue with her original ambishion of taking the ship as her own.

The only other option, is to continue on unseen and unheard, stowing away to where ever the ship is going, and then, when it lands again, deciding if she'll wait for the crew to leave, and steal the ship like she'd planned before. Or, exiting this ship, and stealing another.

For now though, she just tries to keep quite whilst crawling around in the vents.

As the Pre-flight checks ran through their automatic regime, Calim'rath sat quietly in his chair. Checks complete, he grabs the controls and sets the thrusters for the gravity pull of the planetary dustbowl. "Can't wait to feel the freedom of open space again, gravity is such a drag." He said to himself as the Gilded Samrang lifted off the ground and to a safe altitude. A voice came over the comm-channel, "Samrang, what is the meaning of this unorthodox procedure, ask for permission before gaining altitude?"
"Since it seems everyone needs permission to do everything, I thought I would bring some normality into your life, ground control. Gilded Samrang bids farewell to you and keep your noses clean." He replied and as quickly as his wit, the freighter thrust up and into the atmosphere.

Co-ordinates set, multiple jumps calculated. Calim'rath was planning to do a run around and see what bounty had been sent out from both the CWC and RU. His money reserves were copious and he had no need for more, but he was bored. His 35 years of life had been filled with hard work, pain and a longing to find the one responsible for his mothers demise. Until he had enough information, he had to keep going. An odd scent traveled through the air. "Did I leave the door to the cargo bay open.... No, I'm sure I closed it. Maybe I have a leak in the air system seperator." The air on the cargo hold and the main ship were seperately filtered, since some criminals were also criminals of hygene. One pleasant scent was run through the cargo hold while another was distributed into the rest of the ships air, but this smell was what he had used for the cargo bay. "The Samrang can handle the signal captures and can call me when it needs to travel out of system. Might as well check it out, can't have a slight problem confusing my senses..."

Jinx, with no idea that the scent of her raspberry shampoo and body spray was drawing attention to her uninvited presence, continues her way through the vent, a little shaken, and her fur slightly roughed as she hadn't been prepared for the take-off, and had nothing to really hold on to at the time.

She almost doesn't bother to look through the grip as comes to it, as every grid she's looked through before haven't been a way into the control room, or shown her any sign of the crew members. But this time, something below catches her eye...

A fellow Felpurr. Dark in colour. She hadn't managed to catch site of him during her time hiding in the Cargo Bay, and the only thing that linked him with that time, was his scent. But Jinx still wasn't sure, though it didn't really matter to her anyway. Trouble was trouble.

And she still hadn't even chosen her plans yet. For now, at least, it seemed better to hide until she can be sure just how many crew members there are on this ship. Still, just incase, she armed herself with one of her kunai as she prepares to cross the grid, hopefully undetected...

Something new came to Calim'rath's nose, weapon-grade metal. The scent of earthen raspberry's still permeated the air along with the smell but he did not let it show outwardly. "Someone has drawn a weapon, possibly a small one since large weapons of steel are harder to carry undetected... which means they have seen or heard or caught my scent.... Perfect. That means they can guess reasonably what I can do and how quickly I can do it. I just hope they aren't specifically after me cause then they will know the folly of their expectations..." He continued on, moving past the few guest rooms and exercise gyms, one for lower gravities and one for higher gravities. The filter wasn't far now, past the next bend, once there, he could methodically find the person or persons on his craft.

"Finally." Jinx sighs to herself as she reaches the cockpit.

She kicks-out the grid infront of her and climbs out, excitedly jumping into the pilot's chair, and then giving the control board a quick visual scan, checking out what kind of technology is being used, and smiling to herself. She always did love computers and various other gadgets.

Time to get to work! Jinx checks out the system and it's programs, and notices the currently running program. It's a typical bounty hunter's mission program. It gives details suchs as pictures, rewards, and vital information on all the current bounty heads still avalible, as well as updates for recent bounties, that've sinced been dealt with.

Jinx quickly uses the computer to check for details on the ship's crew. Finally she'll be able to find out how many are onboard, and read their profiles to see who, if any, will cause her a problem if she decides to fight for possession of the ship.

"Lucky!" Jinx grins when she discovers there's only one crew member. "Not so lucky..." She then groans as she checks out his long, and highly skilled profile. "Waitaminute!" She jumps up as she suddenly realizes something.

Francis sat back and relaxed as they waited for their escort. He didn't understand what was taking so long. Of course he could've just found his own way there, but he wanted an escort.

"Destiny's Way, we're having a slight problem getting our escorts to you, they're currently busy elsewhere. If you would like to sit tight, we'll get one to you as soon as they're free." Came the polite voice from control after what seemed like hours.
"We've been stuck on board for quite some time, is there any chance you can show us the way, we'll be fine on our own." Francis said as he was beginning to get slightly impatient.
"What's going on?" Shamus said as he sat tinkering with an unpowered R9's circuits.
"I don't know, but I don't like it." Francis as his nerves were starting to get to him.

"What's taking them so long?" Wil wondered. She shrugged. "Zephyr, when that ship lands, send information pertaining to its location to my commlink," she ordered her ship's computer. She then punched a comm number into her console, and a woman's face appeared. She was thin, her face lined with anxiety and her dark hair streaked liberally with grey. "Captain," she acknowledged Wil.
"Miss Johnson, I have your shipment. Shall I meet you at the usual drop point?" Wil said. All her clients were mister or miss Johnson - it saved confusion and protected her clients against premature discovery.
"I'm afraid, Captain, that that place is no longer a convenient place for me. I am sending you directions for a new, more convenient, drop point..." Johnson replied. "Not convenient? Not safe is more like it..." Wil thought, nodding as she received the directions. An alehouse in one of the lower districts, on the third layer. The spaceport was on the seventh layer - the lower one got, the less likely one was to walk away without a dagger ending up between one's shoulderblades. Wil smiled tightly. "I'll be there, Miss Johnson," she promised, as she cut the link. She moved back to her cargo bay and opened it, then eyed the small package she'd been charged to deliver. "Whatever is in there must be ridiculously valuable..." she thought as she slipped it into a bag, shouldered it and strapped on a few weapons, sliding her favourite knife into her wrist sheath, a small gun in an underarm holster and several blast discs into pockets sewn into her coat. Then she keyed the ship's security system on, and left the ship, sealing the door behind her. She started her descent into the lower layers of this planet.

Replacing the panel back onto the ceiling, Calim'rath was sure he had another felpurr on board, a ginger-meg at that. The tought struck him, that human language was extremely wierd... what if the felpurr's name wasn't meg... what if it was a Ginger George. Wistfully putting the thought aside, he began his short walk back to the cockpit. To summ it up, there was one of more ginger colored felpurrs on board, they had steel weapons and they knew how to hide when they needed to.

So his guests were either Assassins out for his head, as very few people liked being cast in the shadow of Calim'rath, or they were ship thieves, wanting to take the Gilded Samrang for their own purposes. He came to this conclusion just as the cockpit door hissed open.

Jinx had virtually no time to think about what she'd just discovered, as the cockpit door suddenly opened with a hiss, giving her a start, and she turned round quickly to face the Felpurr that was about to enter.

Things seemed to happen all too quickly, but at the same time, it felt like it was happening in slow motion as the door opened and there stood the dark furred Felpurr known as Calim'rath Sourfang. Someone Jinx had been searching for a long.

For a moment, she felt a cold rush race through her body, and her yellow eyes snapped wide as she was faced with the bounty hunter, but a frown soon came to her face instead, and she lept at him without even thinking, pulling a katar from it's strap on her back, and holding it high as she came down upon him.

The unprovoked attack startled Calim'rath. It was almost like a kitten batting at a fully grown naramun (large pig-like creature on Fratha). He spun, going forward and to the right and on his way through grabbed the smaller Felpurr's wrist and gave it a violent jerk towards the door with the momentum. With her downward angle, she landed on the floor, somewhat unbalanced and regained her stance with her back to the wall.
"Caged animals will fight no matter the opponent without logic." He purred as he slid his knife from his waist and slid a finger around the ring under the grip. He begun to spin it around his digit ash he advanced slowly. He noted her position and the few pressure points he could hit to disable her arms and give her shaky legs incase she had blades for her feet too. He used the swinging knife as a distraction as he brought the other claw forward, preparing to hit three time, two to disable the arms and another to numb the right leg.

Calim'rath's plan seems to be working as Jinx is the easily distracted type. Her eyes flicker back and fourth from the spinning knife to his eyes. It's obvious an attack is coming, and she waits for him to take a proper grip on his knife for his attack.

But waiting never has been one of Jinx's strong points, and she quickly decides to make a move before he does, pulling out on of her kunai and tossing it towards Calim'rath's knife in an attempt to either knock it from his hand, or force him to hurry-up and act.

And Calim'rath does act. And he acts fast; gripping his knife and dodging the incoming kunai as he goes in for his first hit with his other claw. But the hit connect, as Jinx is quick to move aside as she reaches in her pouch for a few shuriken, taking aim and throwing them as quickly as she can.

Calim'rath reacts quickly, dodging again as he goes in for another hit, and getting it, disabling her left leg. He'd originally planned for the right, but at this point in the time, the left was the easier target. And he'd got it.

Jinx winces, but then ignores the hit, attempting to come at him again, bringing her blade up again, readying for a swing. But she doesn't get very far as her left leg fails her and she topples over, finishing-up as an untidy heap on the floor.

Calim'rath takes the opportunity, as the felpurr falls, to strike the other three limbs. His knife slides easily back into its sheath and, with the other hand, grabs the third vertebra of 'Ginger's' tail, the place a felpurrs tendons connect to the bone for tail movement.
"If you would like to say anything before I throw you into a cell, or even better, out of the air lock, you had better say it fast, since I'm not prone to procrastination, unless I'm being paid for the time..." He says, using some cloth from his clothes to bind the felpurr's arms behind it and taking the pouch of small weapons from the belt. He hooked the cloth to a contraption on the roof and let it drag them to approximately full height. "Anytime now."

"Screw you." She frowns, still trying to think of a way to get out of this situation, and looking around for any inspiration.

"Ah, so you can talk." Calim'rath replies, then noticing her wondering eyes. "You're wasting your time if you're looking for a way to escape. You're limbs are useless. It's an impossible task for you."

"Nothing's impossible." Jinx replies.

At this moment, Calim'rath thinks about just walking away. He has no time for little girls and their naivety. But as he catches her gaze, he sees something burning in her eyes, and he feels her determination.

"You really believe that, don't you?" He says, pausing for a moment. "Why did you attack me?"

"I got lucky." She answers.

"Lucky?"

"Mm." She nods. "I came aboard t--... to borrow the ship. I had no idea you owned this thing."

"And who am I?" He asks.

"Calim'rath Sourfang. Famous bounty hunter, pirate, and owner of the Gilded Samrang." She says, confident she's caught his attention. "And murderer." She growls.

Murder, now that was a well known fact. He did rather the uncomplicated non-retrieval missions but he also did full retrievals and even some rescues along with them, depending on the pay and the client. "So, you wanted to 'borrow without returning' my ship and found out that this 'Murderer' was here only 'after' getting to my cockpit. Seems like it isn't luck, Little Kitten, but an unfortunate event."

Sitting back into his chair and checking the data projected about jobs in the system. "Great, a lot of multi-hunter runs and very few solo runs with high pay. Why do you think I'm this murderer anyway, kitten? I can't remember many Felpurrs falling to my line of work, and yet you have such conviction it's almost as though you cant see past the basic facts." He turned around then, got out of his chair and stuck out at the numb leg of the kitten. "Blood flow will resume in about a minute, don't want you crying about a numb leg all the way to Fratha."

"Fratha? Why are we going to Fratha?" She asks, confused.

"I'm dropping you off." He replies.

"But I don't wanna go to Fratha!" She exclaims, before thinking again for a moment. "Wait... why haven't you killed me?"

"I've no need to. And don't be so ungrateful. I can still change my mind y'know." He reminds her.

"You're just trying to screw with my head. You just want me to feel safe, so I'll keep quiet, and then you'll just kill me anyway." She says.

"Why would I need to keep you quiet just to kill you later? I could shut you up right here and now if I wanted to."

"Then why don't you!?"

"Fuck sake." Calim'rath groans. "It's not even been five minutes into the journey and you're already doing my head in!!"

For some reason, and even Jinx isn't sure why, her mischievous side takes over and she can't resist saying...

"Are we there yet?"

"No, we are not. And you have yet to answer my question. What brought you to the conclusion that I was the murderer you speak of?" His irritation showing in his rich yellow eyes. "I have let you live, and will probably allow you too if you explain yourself to me. Understand this, most who come after are after fame or glory, other for revenge of what I did to their corrupt bondmate or parent or tribefriend. Most of them find a cold coffin in the vacuum of space and are left as debris. The fact you are Felpurr holds you in fair enough stead, but your little fang-words do nothing to help you. We can speak properly, you without your weapons of course, and I can give you the use of your arms, wether to attack me again or not, it doesn't matter. People on the Gilded Samrang who are not criminals or prey are usually treated with dignity, but I expect it in return. Mark your fang-words well, kitten, I am not one to make an enemy out of."

Francis and Shamus were now starting to get a little annoyed. Paxor Air Control was not being very prompt with their replies, something had to be up.
"Destiny's Way, your escort is now ready. Please proceed to the coordinates you're being sent now to rendevous with them. We apologise for the delay." Said the apologetic voice.
"No problem, Pellaeon out." Francis replied as he set course for the coordinates that they had been provided.
"It's about time. What do you think could have been going on?" Shamus asked.
"I'm not sure, to be honest. It could've been anything from too high a demand on escorts to a security breach." Francis guessed. It didn't matter now, they were on their way. It was about time, too. It was not long before they were met by their two armed escorts that looked like they doubled up as security forces.

"Destiny's Way, there has been a slight change of plans. Docking bay 426 is out of action at this time. We are escorting you to a closer bay. Docking Bay 112 is our new destination." Said one of their escorts.
"I hear you, thanks." Francis said as he eased the controls to follow the escort's lead.

It wasn't long before they touched down. Their escorts left promptly and soon disappeared from sight.
"About time. Let's go stretch our legs." Shamus said as he finished tinkering with R9 and powered him back up.
"Yeah, I need a drink." Francis said as he stood and led the way.

As Wil made her way down to the fifth level, her commlink vibrated in her pocket. She flipped it open, to hear Zephyr's robotic 'voice' rumbling, "The vessel is in dock 112. Repeat, dock 112."
"Thank you, Zeph..." Wil murmured as she put her comm away and continued on her way. She happened to know a shortcut from Level 3 that would take her past the 100 docks on her way back to her ship. With that in mind, she kept going...

Jinx remains silent for a few moments, her thoughts tangled. She'd always pictured her family's killer to be a cold hearted murderer who would have no hesitation to killing her too if she didn't kill him first. And though this guy was clearly a jerk, she still couldn't understand why she wasn't dead yet.

"You killed my family." She says with a sigh, lowering her head as she's forced to revisit that fateful day in her mind. "I came home one day... and they... everyone... they were all dead... I vowed to avenge them... all of them. And I will. Somehow..." She pauses for a moment again. "I got your name from a pirate. A Felpurr. I don't know his name... he didn't give it. His fur was jet black, and he wore a long coat. I think it was brown." She says, trying to remember. "I've been looking for you ever since..."

Calim'rath suddenly jumped from his chair and in one swift motion wrapped a hand around the younger felpurr's neck. "NEVER.... Don't you ever say that I would do something like that to a family! My family was torn apart when the conflict came and ravaged the skies of Fratha. My father left, and was not seen for nigh on nine years and when I found my family and guests at my Year-celebration dead, grotesquely killed and my fathers bonding ring alongside my mother's. I have sought him for these long and lonesome years, kitten, lonely because no-one could know my despair. You seek as I do and have come to me for the revenge." His yellow eyes, wide with dark fury, began to close, Calim'rath trying to control the very urge to crush the kitten's neck as he would his father's. "I want you to travel with me, the hunt is better with more hunters, for bigger game needs more than a pair of claws. I will still go to Fratha, if you wish to depart there, so be it." His words carrying a hint of finality in them as he lifted her down from the contraption on the roof to let her feet touch the floor.

He moved off and sat in his chair and turned it to the front, keeping an ear alert to hear what the little kitten would do. His most trusted contacts knew little of what he had revealed. He felt relieved, yet confused as he had never meant to tell a living soul.

Jinx keeps still, taking in the information, trying to make sense of it all, and trying to figure out what to do for the best now. She can hardly believe she's still alive, especially after that outburst. She rubs her neck, wondering how much of what he just said is true. He could've killed her earlier, and he could've killed her just now... hell, he could kill her anytime he wanted.

But he is responcible for the murder of her family... isn't he? She'd been lead to him. All the information was there. She'd spent so long searching for him... has all that time and effort been wasted? Does she still not know who it was that took her family's lives...? Will she ever know...?

She looks over to him, where he sits with his chair facing away from her... and, hesitantly, she takes her steps towards him, until she finds herself standing by his side. And, with a quiet gulp, she leans round a little, to get a look at his eyes. Jinx has always felt that eyes speak louder than even the most deafening, voice.

Calim'rath, who was listening to her make her approach, and now catches her in the corner of his eye, stares back at her. His expression is tight, and Jinx can still see the anger in his eyes from before... as well as the pain. His eyes tell an all-too-familiar story, and her own expression becomes sad for a moment, as she remembers again, her own pain, and realizes that someone, him, has actually had to go through the same incredible pain.

And, though her eyes are sad, a small smile grows on her face, which throws Calim'rath into complete confusion now.

"Jinx." She finally says.

"Wha'?"

"My name. It's Jinx."

"Heh." Calim'rath almost smiles, but he's careful to keep his guard-up just incase.

"Jinxio'enisk Tabazaki." She says as she stands-up straight again.
