Been a while but I've got what I needed to from where it was hidden (ideas
(behind the door marked ideas)). So, let's get down to business.

"Wait! What are ya' doin'? Don't leave me!" cries a young Gene Starwind. The last glimpse of his father fades into an older Jim Hawking. "You never listened to me! Now you don't have anyone but yourself to blame for where you are!" yells Jim as the young Gene cowers, shaking. Suzuka appears in place of Jim. "You didn't pay attention. You just let us all leave and never noticed. How does that make you feel?" Suzuka says to Gene. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!"
Gene sits up sweating on the couch. Light filters through the curtains, making the motes of dust in the air look like little pieces of gold. Gene places a hand on his forehead and mutters, "It's not... my fault..." The words of his dream still echo in his mind. He sits up and Melfina opens the door smiling. "Oh, you're awake. Good morning, Gene. You were asleep last night when I got here, so I didn't want to disturb your sleep," Melfina says with a happy air around her. "I'll cook you breakfast." Gene turn on the TV and a news report is starting. "It seems the notorious MacDougall brothers have suddenly reappeared today as a fire fight broke out in a local café. No serious injuries have been reported at this time. The other group in the fight was to this point unknown. Consisting of a Ctarl-Ctarl woman, a female swordsman wielding a wooden sword, and a young man with a pistol. If you have any information about either group contact us at," the telecaster, cut short by Gene turning off the TV.
"Melfina, get my caster, some of our savings, and any caster shells you can find!" Gene yells into the kitchen. "But breakfast is almost finished and why do you need that?" Melfina asks, confused by the sudden request. Gene appears in the kitchen with a determined look on his face. "Some old friends need our help and another old acquaintance needs a bullet between the eyes," Gene says in a cool voice. Melfina gives a look, showing that she was still confused. "It's Jim, ok," Gene says, looking down, "You'd better make the breakfast to go 'cause we're leaving now." Melfina gives him a look of recognition and starts to gather up the food. "Your caster's in the case with your old jacket," Melfina says as she packs the food, "and the shells are in the bottom drawer of the dresser." Gene runs and gathers the items, and he and Melfina head out to find their friends.
"No sub-ether drive on this old one, but with your credit, it's the only on you can afford," the salesman says smoothly. "I won't take that, I know ships and the duel-engine, over there, with the sub-ether drive is worth less than you are asking!" Gene says, losing his temper with the man. Gene relaxes and smiles. "Why don't you just give us a special discount?" Gene asks, flashing the caster hanging on his belt. The salesman shrinks back and stutters, "I-it's a-all y-y-yours." "I thought you'd see it my way. I'm in a hurry so I'll pay cash," Gene says confidently. Moments later they're taking off to find Jim and the rest of the group.
