Chapter One

As I walked out the doors of the guild my mind was already preparing a mental checklist of what I would need to pick up at the checkroom. First though, I would need to get some lunch it felt like a day since I ate that burger half an hour ago.  So I made my way over to some concession stands nearby.

******

            That was just what I needed, and it only took twenty-five minuets leaving me with thrity-five before I was scheduled to meet my client.  So I made my way towards the checkroom, which was pretty close by, the designers of Pioneer Two had really made this part of the ship for hunters.  Everything a hunter could need was within close proximity of each other making it simple and quick for us to get what we needed done.

            Sometime while I was thinking all of this I reached the checkroom and the girl behind the counter was getting awfully impatient with me.

            "Can I get your section ID please." She barked at me. I guess she was angry with me than she looked.

            "Yeah sure...its Oran 23415." I replied putting a forgiving smile on my face.

            "Here are the contents of your box Ramar Jacob." She answered back bringing up a holoscreen like the one in the guild, and by the way she did it I could see my smile didn't help to appease her anger any.

            "Thanks a lot" I said as I began to look through the items I had stored here.  First I was going to need a new armor, my old one having been destroyed.  I looked through the list and all I had was a Grand Armor and not a very good one at that, but at least it was my color which was black with a sky-blue trim. It matched the color of my red hair amazingly well I thought. I also grabbed a Zonde merge as well.  It didn't act too well as a shield but it did boost the power of my Zonde technique.

            I continued through the list grabbing some assorted healing items such as dimates, and monofluids.  I continued like this until I reached the box, which held my weapons.  I had many weapons form sabers to shots, but my favorite were the rifle class weapons, which I had an abundance if.  I went through until I find one of my favorites a Wals MK-2.  It was still brand new having only found it a couple days before my accident and I could not wait to try it, but it was unwise to go out with only one weapon so I grabbed an Inferno Bazooka and a Partisan.  After receiving all of my items and putting my armor on I closed my account and went to wait for my client at the guild.

******

            I arrived at the guild around ten minutes before my client was supposed to arrive.  I enjoyed being punctual.    

            "Ah good you're early," someone said off to my left, "I wasn't expecting you for at least another ten minutes or so."

            I guess this could be my client.  He is dressed in a white lab coat like most researchers except he was missing the wrap around dark sunglasses.  Meaning two things, he was either a low level researcher or a high-ranking one.  "Well then I am glad I am early, and who may I ask are you?"

            "Well Ramar Jacob I am Dr. Zelse and I am your client for the quest "Lab Data and Missing Hunters."
