Part 7-An Old Friend

Back in the shopping center Sparks and Blitz are in search of the bounty hunter they encountered earlier...

[Sparks] "This is hopeless, we're never going to find the bounty hunter."

[Blitz] "If you keep being negative about it we won't."

[Sparks] "Are you implying it's my fault we can't find our furry orange friend?"

[Blitz] "No, but if you want to take the blame for it."

[Sparks] "Why would he come back here anyway? He's probably back at his hotel or ship or something."

[Blitz] "That's a good idea!"

[Sparks] "Huh?"

[Blitz] "Let's go check out the spaceport!"

[Sparks] "And what if he's at some hotel?"

[Blitz] "Well we have no idea 'if' he is staying at some hotel, nor where that hotel may be, so we can't really go find it can we."

[Sparks] "I guess."

[Blitz] "But we do know where the spaceport is, so we can look around there."

[Sparks] "And what if he isn't there?"

[Blitz] "Then he isn't there. Come on let's go."

[Sparks] "Fine."

[Blitz] "For someone who was like 'Let's go shoot up some furry bounty hunters' a quarter of an arn ago, you've really change your mind."

[Sparks] "I didn't change my mind, I just get bored very quickly."

[Blitz] "Well then, you can be bored at the spaceport, let's go!"

Sparks and Blitz head off to the spaceport to see if they'll have any better luck there...

Meanwhile 1812 and Blue have followed the Tavleks back to their ship and have silently slipped onboard and are currently observing of its occupants...

[Kort] "So are they here?"

[Treg] "Yeah, it seems our contact was correct."

[Kort] "Good, the sooner we get the rest of them the quicker we can get rid of that annoying bitch in the back."

[Treg] "Don't celebrate too soon, we don't have the then yet."

[Polveck] "There you go thinking we won't catch them again. We know where they are and they don't know we're here. So if I'm correct that means we have the element of surprise, which also means we should be able to capture them with no problem."

[Kort] "This is your first bounty kid, so I'm just gonna let you know right now that when we go attempt the capture, don't expect me to save your sorry ass."

[Polveck] "What's that supposed to mean?"

[Kort to Treg] "Remind me why we took this pathetic excuse for a bounty hunter along with us."

[Treg] "We need a good pilot to get us off this sad excuse for a planet and back to Peace Keeper space, and no matter how annoying he is we must remember that."

[Kort] "Frell, your right...I got a question though."

[Treg] "What?"

[Kort] "Can I shoot him after the job's done?"

[Treg] "I don't care."

[Polveck] "Hey!"

[Kort and Treg] -laughs-

[Kort] "Don't worry kid, I was just messing wit ya."

[Polveck] "Yeah well I hope so, cuz if you did try an' shoot me you'd be down down before you could even get off one shot."

[Kort] -sinker- "Yeah, you wish."

[Treg to Polveck] "Why don't you make yourself useful, the prisoner needs to be fed."

[Polveck] "Why don't one of you do it?"

[Kort] "Because we say so kid."

[Polveck] "Well do I have to take off the gag?"

[Treg] "Unless her species can eat through their nose, then yeah ya have to."

[Polveck] "Great."

Polveck heads out of the ship's command deck...
----------------------
**These guys are going to be a big problem, you know I'm start to think we should take Kip's recommendation**

"How about first we go see who they've caught and then we can decide on what or what not to do."

**Alright**

1812 and Blue sneak out and follow Polveck to the ship's holding cells...

**********



Sparks and Blitz have now reached the spaceport and have begun their search for the furry bounty hunter...

[Sparks] "Well we're here and guess what, the bounty hunter isn't."

[Blitz] "It was your idea to come here."

[Sparks] "No it wasn't! I just made the observation that he probably wasn't in the shopping center and you got the idea in your data processor to come to the frelling spaceport."

[Blitz] "Well I didn't hear you coming up with a better suggestion."

[Sparks] "Well maybe I would have if you..."

[Blitz] "Shut up."

[Sparks] "Um, how 'bout No."

[Blitz] "I mean it! Listen"

"....."

[Sparks] "Ok what am I listening for?"

[Blitz] "Shhhh!"

Off in the distance...
[KayVar] "I can't believe you lost her! I give you one simple task and you go an' screw it up!"

[Craytil] "It's not my frelling fault! I was attacked!"

[Sparks] "Hey isn't that..."

[Blitz] "I think so, and you thought we wouldn't find him!"

**********



The Polveck enters the holding cell area not aware that he has been followed by a couple of DRDs...

[Polveck] "Hey you, I'm going to take off the gag so you can eat, but if you scream I'm gonna put it back on and you won't eat. Understand?"

[Prisoner] "phell yuf"

[Polveck] "Well I'll take that as a yes."

Polveck removes the prisoner's gag...

[Polveck] "Here's your food."

[Prisoner] "Eww, I refuse to eat that, it looks and smells like a dead boolite."

[Polveck] "Then starve"

[Prisoner] "You have no right to treat me as, as..."

[Polveck] "A prisoner? A fugative? Cuz that's what you are."

[Prisoner] "I am an intelligent being!"

[Polveck] "And that's supposed to make me care? Cuz it sure doesn't. All I care about is the money I'm getting for handing you and your friends over to the Peace Keepers."

"....."

[Prisoner] "Where are we? I felt the ship land, are we on a planet?"

[Polveck] "It's none of your business, but...I guess I could inform you that we've found your friends and they'll be joining you shortly."

[Prisoner] "You won't catch them."

[Polveck] "Well we caught your sorry eema now didn't we?"

[Prisoner] "You still won't catch them, and when they find out that I'm here they'll come and kill you."

[Polveck] "Yeah, and who's going to tell them? Huh? You?" -Sniker- "Face the facts, you're not going to be rescued, and the next time you see your friends they'll be in there with ya"
---------------------------
"I thought they said they captured one of the crew members?"

**They did, that's Jool**

"That's Jool?"

**Yeah, didn't you see her when you were with Commander Crichton on Arnessk**

"No, I only heard the others mention her name, but I never actually saw her."

**Well that's Jool, and the Tavleks have her, and now I'm thinking it might be a good idea to consider informing the crew about this whole situation here**

"Are you trying to say we cannot prevent two groups of bounty hunters from capturing the crew, free Jool here, and still keep our zero presence profile?"

**Do you truly believe our little gang of DRDs can do all that?**

"If we can find a way to infiltrate a biloid military base and rescue Crichton and Aeryn, then I think we can find a way to do solve this little problem."

**We had help from the crew and Moya when we saved Crichton and Aeryn**

"They didn't really help in the infiltrating or the actual saving now did they? No. They just supplied information and an escape vehicle."

**Don't you think this is a little bit different then infiltrating some base? These are professional bounty hunters here**

"And those were professional biloid soldiers."

**That unlike the bounty hunters had weapons that "didn't" harm us!**

"I still think we can pull this off."

**Just how do you figure that?**

"Let's get back to the abandoned hotel, I want to find out if Sparks and Blitz discovered anything useful."

**You are avoiding the subject**

"Let's just get out of here."

1812 and Blue sneak out of the Tavlek ship and head back to meet up with the others...

Meanwhile. Sparks and Blitz have also been doing some recon and are currently listening to the conversation between the furry orange bounty hunters...

[Craytil] "I was attacked by a couple of little yellow things with like these eyes."

[KayVar] "Sounds like you were attacked by DRDs"

[Xeck] "DR whats?"

[KayVar] "Maintenance robot things for Leviathans."

[Craytil] "What's a Leviathan?"

[KayVar] "A ship you idiot! What else would it be?"

[Craytil] "I don't know. Then what the frell were the DRD things doing in an alleyway?"

[Xeck] "The wanted beacon said that they all travel on a Leviathan, so maybe they took some with them down on the planet."

[Craytil] "Why would they do that?"

[Xeck] "How the frell should I know?"

[KayVar] "Speaking of wanted beacons, the one Xeck here said he watched has been officially put out of order."

[Craytil] "It was probably those DRD things."

[KayVar] "I don't think it so. Looked like someone hit it with one really strong weapon."

[Craytil] "Then who?"

[KayVar] "Well the way I see it, it was either damaged a long time ago and Xeck here's making his story up..."

[Xeck] "Which I'm not!"

[KayVar] "Or the one of the fugitives on the beacon did it, which also means they've probably already left the planet."

[Craytil] "And it doesn't matter whether or not Xeck did or didn't see anything."

[KayVar] "Right."

[Xeck] "Which I did!"

[KayVar] "But then there's option three."

[Craytil] "What's that?"

[KayVar] "That Xeck isn't the only one who saw that beacon."

[Xeck] "Well yeah, wanted beacons like play automatically every so often and other people must have also seen it. After all there was several people near me when I saw it and to think that they..."-Smack-"Ouch! What was that for?"

[KayVar] "Being an idiot! That's not what I meant. I mean that someone else might be trying to go afta the same bounty."

[Xeck] "Then why didn't you say that?!?"

[KayVar] "Just shut up Xeck!"
----------------------
[Sparks] "I don't think we'll learn anything else new here."

[Blitz] "Right."

[Sparks] "So can we shoot them and get it over with?"

[Blitz] "No. We have to go tell 1812 what we learned."

[Sparks] "Not even with stun?"

[Blitz] "No. Come on, let's head back."

[Sparks] "You are no fun you know that."

[Blitz] "Well I am not here to entertain you."

[Sparks] "Well maybe you should be."

Sparks and Blitz continue bickering on their way back to the abandoned hotel.
