Vega looked on as Gene struggled with the maze. Everything was going well and if things really went her way he'd only need one challenge to have her achiever her objective. It would take him quite a while before he ended the complex puzzle. She turned on the camera monitors and prepared to leave the room. As she turned to leave, Kujen burst through the door, frantic and panting. "Vega...someone...broke...in...." he gasped out erratically. He had barely completed his sentence when his eyes went wide and he fell to the floor. Disturbed, Vega quickly called Singh and Fain to the control room. Down the hall she heard an explosion, and smoke began to pillow into the room. She coughed as she tried to push through the dense clouds. Suddenly a dark silhouette appeared a few feet away from her.
Then two more appeared next to the figure. They broke past the smoke, revealing Singh and Fain holding a man by his arms, suspended in their grasp. His hair was disheveled and fell haphazardly on his smirking face. Vega, now collected, spoke. "Who are you and why did you break in here?" He just smiled at her, causing her face to twist into a frown. She was about to snap at him, but then she felt two arms wrap around her. Her frown disappeared, and was replaced by pure surprise. Who could it be everyone she knew was present and accounted for...
"Vega...." the voice cooed softly. A shiver of recognition ran up her spine. It couldn't be...how did she, how could she be her? Vega reluctantly turned around to be faced by the person she least wanted to see. It was Durga, her obnoxious, cell mate from the asteroid prison. She smiled weakly and then turned to the task at hand, finding out who this guy was and why he was here...and most of all...why he would be with Durga. She addressed him more politely now and re-asked her previous questions, trying to ignore the fact that Durga still held her in her embrace. He smiled his dashing smile again and said, "My name is Lao and I'm here to make you famous!" Vega visibly sweat dropped. Not another weirdo!
"What do you mean by that?!" He laughed, "Why I'm Lao the space-renowned thief that has made it his mission to join the lowliest of pirates, that's you, and make them the best by means of my awesome skills." "Well at least he gets to the point, right?" Singh muttered, sarcastically. "Well that is just one of my wonderful qualities." he announced to no one in particular. "But the more important question would be" Vega continued "is why the hell are you working with this crazy bitch behind me?" Durga smiled cutely in response.
"Well we met at a bar on Orange Zion. I, ever the gentleman, approached her to buy her a drink. As we started talking I mentioned I was looking for you and your pirate friends. She said you were old friends and that she would lead me to you as long as she could tag along. I agreed and here we are...read to join the happy Casis family!" he grinned brightly. Vega finally lost her seemingly unbreakable cool.
"No!" she screamed, seething with anger. "NO, there's NO way in HELL I'm letting you two join me!!! Don't think you can ridicule me and then get favors!" With that she threw Durga violently off her and socked Lao soundly across his face, then stormed off down the hall. Durga stood up slowly rubbing her newly bruised backside, while Singh and Fain realized that Lao was out cold. Fain motioned to Kujen and Lao, "Iasadaku ettieterust in ohsab ikoyb." Singh nodded, and then picked up Kujen and Lao gently, each cradled in one of her giant hands, and she proceeded to the sickbay. Fain followed after Vega, and the hallway became silent.
**Well that was kind of short too, but I like to keep each perspective in separate chapters, but the next chapter will be up tonight too. Also DS popularity contest! Out of all of the Casis pirates, who do you like the best? Please email me what you think!! If you participate you'll get a special surprise! Hope to hear from you soon! **
