GRAPPLING HOOK!

[Alleyway/Moira's Car]

“Aw, man,” Connor frowned. “We have to find something!”

"L-Let me" Sarai said with a shaky voice, watching as Connor tried several doors with no luck. She moved in front of him and pulled out a small gun, taking aim at one of the locks and shooting. She gave a little jump but managed ignore the shock as the lock blew off and the door creeked open to one of the many rooms.

[...]

“... I worked very hard to get away from this kind of bullsh-t. I don't appreciate being dragged back into it!”

Issac raised his gun, ready to shoot ths crazy broad's head off without a second thought. "Well maybe don't kidnap our- HOLY SH*T"

The wall next to he and Jace blew up, sending pieces of brick in all directions. Both men were caught completely off guard, ducking and covering their heads in order not to get knocked out.

"Who the hell is this girl?!" Jace exclaimed coughing

"Don't care!" Issac exclaimed, raising his gun and shooting at sparky sparky boom girl!

[Docks]

Melanie followed Galv closely, stopping when they came to a group- one of which she knew had to be his twin sister.

“Is this that girl you mentioned? She's cute.”

Melanie blinked, her cheeks going a bit pink. She decided to speak up. "Nice to meet you, i'm Melanie"

"I'm dating your sister, but she's a little shy – probably worried I'll say something and make things all awkward....Relax, Lils, it's not like I'm going to just blurt out all the weird stuff we do in bed.”

Melanie's face went a bit redder, the girl caught off guard by Lily's girlfriend's.....Bluntness?

[Flashback]

Chloe's face was still a bit warm but she couldn't help but to give a small grin. The kiss had vastly improved her mood, making her forget about her current issues she really needed to figure out.

"But I figured... if I didn't do anything now... I'd never get a chance.”

"Especially considering you're getting yourself in a bunch of secret trouble you can't tell me about for some reason" Chloe said, moving forward and pulling him back to her level again to kiss him again. "You're really not gonna tell me what's up are you?"

"My concerns are more with people trying to ruin my stuff..." Damion commented to Haruka, before she hopped off.

And then he laughed at Maize's answer to his concerns, as he punched a few buttons on the control panel, before standing up.

"That's no problem! I've gotta pick up some supplies myself, before figuring out what's next, so... yeah, we're going to be here for long enough that you can get a workout in, if you wanted. Heh."

He then headed back to the storage area, to change into something a little less "looking like someone trying to be sneaky" than just his stealth suit, and re-emerging.

"If you want to come with, lets go! But if not, just remember to lock up after you leave."


Citadel: Cold Iron

Solei nodded along to what Paul typed out, but still was a bit concerned. She hadn't mentioned to Rosetta about following these people on their journey, though from what little she knew of them since her rescue, she felt like Rosetta and the others would be OK with her going out like this if she wanted to... They DID give her a fancy communicator device of sorts, but technology was not one of Solei's stronger points, and she was feeling awkward to have to ask one of these people to help her get in touch with them... at least until Kagura mentioned she couldn't leave.

Before Kagura went off, Solei reached over and grabbed the twintailed girl by at least one of her hands... and leaving one of her old coins in Kagura's hand while doing so.

"I will endeavor to make sure this crew will stay safe and to return for you," she spoke while bowing her head to the other girl. If you can spare the time, however, please inform Ms. Rosetta Rhaye of my status of joining this ship for this flight. She is from the Kaiju Corp. business, if you were unaware when you met her earlier."

-------------------------


"Bringing a Jedi along into Empire territory feels like a double edged sword. He may be able to help us out better, but... Because he is one, that may be the reason we get targeted..." Shiori replied to Musashi, as she followed him back into the ship.

"I hope it works out better than that, however."

Shiori wasn't always the most positive person, when analyzing situations.


Citadel: Kaiju Corp Offices

Marco was quiet for a moment after Nanami spoke.

He was so stupid sometimes; he hadn't even thought of exactly why this whole situation interested Nanami so much.

So when he finally did answer Nanami, he just turned towards her, and grabbed her into a big hug.

"...Then we're going to make sure he helps." he spoke quietly.

...or he's going to regret flying his police box into my office... he added, just as a thought to himself.

Don't threaten the Doctor though, Marco. Please. Even if you're only thinking it and not saying it

“Okiedokie!” Kay replied, giving a thumbs-up. “Thanks for letting us know.”

-Food Court-

Lavo looked back at his food. “I'm not su-”

“We might,” Windsong interrupted, her mouth still full of food. After she swallowed, she turned toward the group. She was much calmer than before.

“We're staying with a cybertronian until his transport arrives,” she explained. “He's going to try to help us locate and get to Ko-Gek. Truth is though, neither of us know how well that's going to pan out. I trust him, but we can only expect him to try.

“It's...also going to take some time,” she said, her eyes wandering. “His transport won't be here for a few days. We could probably use help locating the planet before it arrives.”

Lavo nodded in agreement. “Right. I have a feeling it's somewhere in Empire space though.”

[Alleyway]

Moira jumped to the side, pressing herself up to the wall behind a few trash cans. She could hear the bullets ricochet off the brick wall and the metal cans and she groaned. This was bad – and her gun was still in the car. She swore loudly.

“Who the hell is this girl?!”
“Don't care!”


“You should!” Moira called back as she slammed her gloved hand onto the ground and with a crackle of that red spark, the ground began to explode up from beneath Jace and Issac! “I used to be one of the Shadow Broker's top assassins!”

Dun dun dun!

[…]

When Sarai shot open the door, Connor quickly ran inside with her and found they were in some kind of office building. It looked like they were in the back, a small kitchen area with a few tables and a sad mini-fridge. He frowned.

“We should try to find some way out of here, but...” He looked back at the door to the alley, worried about his sister.

[The Cold Iron]

Kagura smiled to Solei, nodded and she slipped the ancient coin into her pack. She was sure it would be worth a lot, but it didn't seem like the kind of thing to just spend. Instead she smiled at Solei and gave her a thumb's up.

“Sure thing! I'll go tell those Kaiju Corp peeps the news. You take care of yourself too, and here...”

She pulled a small translucent business card from her pocket and handed it to Solei. “Give me a call if you ever need a bounty hunter! No clue where I'll be, but that's my private line, I can always be reached on it – directly ties into my armor.”

She gave one last smile and then stepped off the ship – it looked like it would be departing soon. She decided to turn and head towards the Kaiju building before worrying about her business...

[---]

“Don't be so negative, Shiori!” Musashi threw his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him, shaking his head. “We'll be totally fine! The Empire won't ever know we were there!”

He had no reason to believe that, but Musashi was nothing if not TOO optimistic.

[Kaiju Corp Offices]

Nanami was caught off-guard by the hug, but she didn't protest. Instead she leaned into Marco and sighed, letting her head rest on his shoulder for a moment as she fell into thought.

The last two years had been a challenge, with no clue as to her past, and even being unable to find anything when having access to Marco's vast resources. She was grateful for the help, even if it had always ended in failure.

This man... this Doctor... it was maybe the best chance she had.

“Thanks... but unless he comes back on his own, I'm not sure how to find a man with a time machine.”

"Thank you, " Solei nodded as she received Kagura's business card, and then watched as she left.

As she did, however, Solei turned to Paul, slightly red in her face, which also looked puzzled.

"...you would know how to use a machine to call someone, if the need arose, correct?" she asked very quietly.

She knew of some technology from her past, but was never good at it back then, let alone after all the advances in the last 100 plus years she had missed.

At least she wouldn't have to worry about Paul saying something to someone about this.
============

Shiori also started to blush slightly, as Musashi pulled her close, as she tried to smile.

"Hopefully you are right..."

His positivity was something that had always attracted him to Shiori, as it was one part of him she aspired to try and be more like.

Citadel: Kaiju Corp Offices

"Well... one idea would be to make for such a big event in universe history, aimed about him, that he could be forced to pay attention and show up..." Marco considered, in response to Nanami.

Since it always worked so well for River Song. Please don't become the Doctor's wife, either, Marco...

"...but if it wasn't quite that sort of time travel, it'd be a waste. And if he WAS a big time traveler, and had enemies because of that... that'd just invite more problems... For an ancient style police box, he really should have a phone number or something on the side of that thing..."

“Of course I'm right!” Musashi dismissed the possibility he could be wrong. He knew deep down just how dangerous this was – after all, he'd lost his mother and favorite 'uncle' to the Empire in its early days, and they had been Jedi.

“... I'm glad to see you again, Shiori.” Musashi lowered his voice and sighed.

[Kaiju Corp Offices]

“Great idea, I'll just start a massive war and then he'll show up.” Crimson eyes rolled as Nanami replied, shaking her head. She couldn't begin to think of what would count as a 'big event'... she could think of many from her perspective, but in the grander scheme of history she wondered how much of it was important...

She listened as Marco pointed out the flaws in his own plan, and she sighed. “I didn't think you wanted me getting the phone numbers of strange men I meet.”

The slightest smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. Sometimes Nanami had a sense of humor.

Just sometimes.

"I'm glad too..." Shiori answered Musashi, before she tried to pull his face down to his level, to give him a kiss.

Though at that moment, Solei had started (most likely with Paul) to head farther into the ship past the entrance, walking in on the scene. She quickly stopped however, and gave a bow before reversing back out.

"Pardon my intrusion..."

With that, Shiori quickly backed away from Musashi, beet red in her face, obviously quite embarrassed.

Citadel: Kaiju Corp Offices

Marco genuinely started laughing, from both of Nanami's comments.

"No, I wouldn't like you doing that at all. Hahaha! Though for that 'big event' thing... I was just thinking something more like making some big sign or something saying like 'Hello Doctor' or something, that could be seen from space on some empty planet or something... But yeah, that's all dumb anyways"

Citadel: Docks

With a wave goodbye to Maize, Damion hopped off of his ship, glancing around. Being the 'great noble thief Zelnite', or at least acting like that... One never could be TOO sure what was around the corner. Though here at the Citadel, at least it would be generally much more friendly than hanging out somewhere in the Empire, because... he's probably pissed off a lot more people there, than in Alliance space.

The good thing at least was, that lady who didn't seem very happy wasn't around anymore, though it appeared as though some cheerful looking girl was leaving the same ship the angry one had entered.

Hopefully that angrier looking one was not the one Maize seemed to sense. Damion didn't want to have to make a hasty departure from the Citadel just because Maize went and tried to punch through this neighbor's ship to find the girl to spar with...

...well she definitely wouldn't do that (even if he might joke with her that she would), but... there still was something that was making him uneasy about that all, too...

But now also was time to get going and stock up on food for the next trip... Especially since Maize was probably still going to come along... She really ate a lot. So Damion started off himself, to head off to the market's local to this corner of the Citadel.

[The Citadel]

[Big Shots Bounty Hunting Agency]

Kagura eventually arrived outside the brightly colored door to the dingy office she always dreaded coming to visit. Technically she was a freelance bounty hunter, meaning she had no real employer... but most of the best bounties on the Citadel went to top-ranked bounty hunters, and if she wanted to break into the ranking she needed the help of an agency.

The only problem was...

“You're late, Iwata! Geez, do you know how long I've been calling you?”

Kagura flinched as soon as she entered. Behind the desk was a man with a perpetual grimace and a jagged scar down the middle of his face. Once, she'd heard Underwood was one of the best bounty hunters in Alliance space... but these days he was an unhappy middle-aged man who loved nothing more than making the lives of rookies terrible.

“F-ck off, Jeff!” Kagura replied with a groan.

“Heh. If you could collect bounties half as well as you piss me off you'd be as famous as Samus Aran.” Underwood snapped back, shaking his head. “We got a new batch of Imperial bounties comin' through. Figured you'd want a look.”

Kagura stared at the scarred man for a moment, as slowly she struggled to restrain herself. “That's... it? THAT'S the emergency you called me over for!?”

She had missed her chance to follow Paul, Solei and the others because of the call. She thought it had been something BIG! Anger flooded here veins and for a moment Kagura sincerely considered blasting Underwood with one of her poison darts – but then something caught her eye.

She quickly grabbed the tablet on his desk and magnified the picture of one of the bounty ships. Her eyes widened and she thought back to the docks – and the ship that landed right beside The Cold Iron before she left!

“Maybe today isn't a total waste~” Kagura grinned, and then turned and sprinted out of the office, ignoring Underwood's shouting about her taking his tablet. She started scrolling through the information, looking at the bounty figures on the ship, and it's known pilot... some 'Great Thief Zelnite'...

[The Cold Iron]

Musashi was surprised by the sudden kiss, but he quickly warmed to it. Just as the spiky-haired boy attempted to deepen that kiss, however, Solei and Paul suddenly appeared and Shiori shot away from him as if they were opposing magnets.

He could only sighed, crossing his arms and glancing at Solei and Paul. “Gee thanks.”

[Kaiju Corp Offices]

Nanami shrugged. She doubted it would be that easy, although perhaps it really would be. It was hard for her to know. Up until this morning she wouldn't have believed Time Travel was actually possible...

Though she did recall hearing rumors on some of her deliveries. Some people still whispered about an ancient race of 'Time Lords' who had once been even grander and more powerful than the Jedi. It was all a bunch of silly nonsense, Nanami had always thought. Even the stories of the Jedi were often exaggerated, and they were a verifiable fact.

… but this Doctor... if he was what he claimed to be, then perhaps it was true? Maybe there were Time Lords who had once lived among the universe.

“I'm willing to try, honestly.” Nanami shook her head.

She paused. “... I just realized... if this guy comes to the Citadel often, that phone booth or whatever it was... it stands out. Maybe C-Sec has some records... maybe they've even had some interaction with the guy.”

Citadel Security kept a close watch on everyone who came in and out of the Citadel – although with billions of sentient life forms from around the universe gathering here, that was a tall order.

“... Feel like taking a trip to C-Sec HQ with me?” Nanami asked.

-The Citadel-

The Cold Iron

Paul finished typing a message to Edda when Solei asked him a question. He nodded towards her, giving her a thumbs up, letting her know he'd be more then happy to help her with making a call, then typed at his wrist.

-“If you need help with anything, let me know. I'd be more then happy to help.”-



The ship itself rumbled slightly, preparing for take off.

Docks

Maize stepped off Damion's ship, locking up behind herself as she stepped out. The ship that she felt... someone... on was taking off. Maize debated running over and grabbing on before it could go, but was pretty sure that would cause a lot more trouble then it was worth. Besides, she wanted to check out the Citadel and maybe make sure Damion got the right food!

She headed off, her tail wrapping around her waist idly.



Lily blushed at Haruka's words, while Sayuri just looked a little confused.

“Ummm... so... what's wrong?” Galv asked. Lily glanced around, then shook her head.

“Can we go somewhere private? Our ship?” Lily asked. Galv looked a little surprised, glancing towards Melanie, then nodded.

“Okay... Should I call grandpa too?” Galv asked.

Lily hesitated, then shook her head. “Not yet. I wanna go over everything first.”

Snake's Basement

“Well... at some point I will regenerate,” Jenny said to Snake, “So don't let the idea get too foreign to you. Anyways...”

Jenny glanced towards C now, then over to Snake, filling him in with what C had told her and The Doctor.

“So I think you'd be able to help out,” Jenny added at the end. “I don't know anyone better for stuff like this then you.”

-Omega-

Docks

“Uhhh... yah, his name is Goku. I don't know about him being a Saiyan... I ran into him on some backwater planet when he was a kid. We've been traveling together off an on ever since,” Bulma answered. “He did use to have a tail though... but it got cut off...”

She hesitated for a moment. “Can you two turn into giant monkeys too?”

Food Court

Shadow and Omega were quiet for a moment, then Shadow sighed.

“You need an Empire star map. Probably a high level one,” Shadow said. “There's a few Empire ships that are parked here at Omega, one of them was carrying some very high value cargo. Omega and I were thinking about taking it, but I think whatever it was already got swiped...”

Neither Shadow nor Omega knew it was a person who had been the cargo, or they would have gone in guns blazing to rescue someone else imprisoned by the Empire.

“But they haven't left yet, which means someone their might have the charts you need,” Shadow added.

-Flashback-

Edda enjoyed the second kiss, smiling a bit goofily once Chloe pulled away.

“Ummm... heh... sorry, I really can't,” Edda said, “Not now... maybe later though, when it blows over.”

The first impression that C had of the area they ended up in was that this place was a bit of a dump. Blank steel walls, slate, concrete, dark. It looked like the sort of thing someone a little too mopey would retreat to and sulk, but there was also the underlying tension that he's just jumped head-first into a viper's nest. Fitting, considering the name of the person who resides here was 'Solid Snake'.

Name. Or title. Or whatever, really. Best not get bogged down with the details.

That's when Jenny walked up to a box and loudly proclaimed that was Snake. C was left blinking in befuddlement. What? A large box? Snake? Was the man somehow not going to live up to expectation, and be revealed to be hiding in a giant box made of cardboard?

That's when Snake phased out of thin air, and C immediately knew why he was feeling tense. This man moved without any sound he could hear, nothing his own senses could pick up, and got behind Jenny in a way that made it look far too easy.

Then, they began to talk and Snake suddenly wrapped The Doctor in a headlock like a constricting mamba, pistol under Doc's chin. And C tensed, getting ready to move at a moment's notice. He doubted he could do much against a live firearm this close up, but maybe he could avoid direct line of fire.

And maybe save The Doctor's life as well. Snake was paying attention to The Doctor, and C was readying himself to do something about it, but Jenny managed to dissolve the whole situation. But that didn't stop C from watching Snake very carefully. The hacker wasn't saying anything when Jenny began her tale, and said nothing at all throughout the whole story. All that time, he was watching this man, this VIPER in man's clothing, trying to gauge how much asking his help was going to cost him... And if it was worth it at all to do so.

As the ship began rumbling, Kay sat down again. She hit her chest with her fist a couple times.

“Whoof,” she huffed. “I just realized how excited I am.” Or was it nervous? She wasn't sure, the two usually felt the same.

“Dammit,” Lavo sighed. Had they thought to grab an Empire star map while in the ship just moments ago, they would have saved a trip and an anxiety attack.

“I don't think it would be that complicated to get it,” Windsong stated. “We still have our armor on. Just go in, get it, get out.”

Lavo grunted. “We were just there,” he said quietly. “They might get suspicious.”

Windsong rubbed her chin. “Maybe not if we bring them,” she whispered, looking at Shadow and Omega.

The brother winced. “I don't think they'd like that.”

[Snake's Basement]

Snake had gone quiet, walking across the room and grabbing a pack of cigarette's from one of the drawers on his work bench. He quickly lit it, and took a long drag on the cigarette – fully away of the glare he'd get from Jenny, but right now he didn't care.

The Doctor was here, and he had brought a mess with him. This guy – C – was involved with Uplink. Snake had heard about them. Supposedly they were some of the best at covert operations, though Snake knew better than anyone that the stories about people in his line of work were often exaggerated, and usually on purpose. Still... Uplink was a headache he didn't need.

… but it was Jenny, one of the few people Snake couldn't turn away, even when it came to something like this.

“Uplink, huh?” He finally spoke, turning to C. “... Alright. First thing is first, we'll need to decipher that data you have. Won't be easy... but I know a guy who might be able to help. However...”

He took a step closer to C. “Understand this, The Doctor and Jenny are a lot more trusting than I am. If I find out you're not on the level, I won't hesitate. That clear?”

Snake had never relished threatening anyone, or acting on those threats – but he never hesitated.

“There's no need for that, Snake.” The Doctor stepped forward, frowning. “I realize this is a bit sudden, but it's all true. I found C by complete accident – I think the TARDIS brought me there. This is important.”

Snake's eyes flickered to the Doctor, and he reluctantly nodded. “... Fine, I'll help. I have a guy who can probably recover the data... problem is, I guarantee you the moment we connect that disk to the network, someone will start tracking it.”

[Docks]

“You never mentioned you have a ship, Lils.” Haruka raised an eyebrow. It must have been important to her, or she had some other reason to keep it a secret... like not wanting Haruka to 'borrow' it...

[Omega]

[Docks]

Vegeta's eyes grew wide. There was no doubt then – if that kid had become the Mighty Oozaru, then he was a Saiyan. One of the few remaining free, outside of Imperial control.

“Monkey? Heh... I suppose someone like you would call it that. What you're describing is the Great Oozaru, and yes, all Saiyans can transform in the presence of the full moon. Though I'm surprised you could survive being near one.”

C nodded slowly to Snake's warning, but responded when Snake finished speaking.

"You and me both, pal. I don't trust people easily, least of all names like yours. I've heard enough horror stories about you, Solid Snake. Uplink has posted warnings about encountering you or anyone else from a certain group with a canine logo. So just like you will be keeping an eye on me to make sure I'm on the level, I'll be doing the same to make sure you won't stab me in the back."

He sighed, bringing both hands up in a universal 'peace' gesture.

"As for the file that we NEED, that's Pip's personally encoded encryption keys. Unless you have some super-genius hidden in the wings that can decipher an entirely new encryption language within an appropriately short amount of time, we need the original key. But I have NO IDEA where they could be. They could be in the Empire's hands, or they could be somewhere hidden, since Pip was a bit of a paranoid bastard. All I have to go on is that the actual encrypted datafile is called "Heart". And that's not much of a hint..."

When C alluded to FOXHOUND, Snake stared at him intensely. The paramilitary unit was still in service, although Snake had left their ranks some time ago. He simply stood and puffed on his cigarette, watching C with the kind of glare that would make most men melt – but from the looks of things, C had enough of a backbone to withstand it.

He might just survive this whole thing.

“I've got a super-genius, but he's more of a robotics guy.” Snake revealed. “So all you have is the name of a single datafile and no idea where it is? The universe is a big place, even with Doc's little box.”

He leaned back against the counter and thought about it. There hadn't been any recent chatter in any of his circles about anything called 'Heart'. Of course, if Uplink was involved, then they liked to play things close to the chest. Snake sighed as he exhaled a cloud of gray ash.

“... Well, if the Empire has their hands on the file, then they'll take it to Scarif. It's the main hub of the Imperial Security Bureau. If we could gain access to one of the computers at their ISB base, we'd have access to everything on Imperial networks.”

Snake took another long drag on his cigarette, while letting that news sink in. “Of course, Scarif is one of the most heavily guarded places in the Empire. Even I'd have a hard time sneaking in... and I'm not much of a hacker.”

C had the REALLY urgent urge to shrink away from Snake's glare. Apparently, pointing out previous connections with paramilitary units was not the best of ideas. But he's had enough running and he was getting very tired, so Snake's glare only made C turn his own eyes away, frowning. But when Snake took a second cigarette and finished his most recent comment, C smirked.

"Hacking, I can do. I think I'm pretty good at that these days. If you need someone to get into some place, I can try. Though... They have some new kind of system that I'll want to get at least a good look at before I actually try to break into it. It's nothing like what I've seen before, some all-new type of security. It's why I couldn't get much out of that last hack I tried."

C suddenly looked very uncomfortable.

"I... Do have someone that could help, but... Well... That's gonna set off a lot more red flags than I'd really want to..."

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!

Let them Label me! Let them swear and curse at me as I tug humanity like a bucking bull into the darkness of the unknown, revealing its secrets to the sane and driving them MAD! In ages long past, I shall be looked upon as a tyrant and a savior! As a savant and as a fool! My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied! Governments will publicly criticize my work, but privately conduct research that advances it! I shall imprint myself into the annals of history, among the stars that shine as brightly as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Nikola Tesla, and countless others! My work will shine as brightly as any star, and I AM ITS CREATOR!!!
