Duo looked up as Joslyn entered the room.
Pix smiled. "Did Tru know anything?"
"She said she found something about colonies in our old records."
"See Duo. I told you Tru would know something."
Joslyn frowned. "What have you been telling him?"
"Just about you and Tru."
"And my career?"
"I may have mentioned it once or twice."
"Pix go take care of Ace."
Pix laughed but vanished into thin air as the hologram shut down.

"So are you really a pirate?" Duo asked.
"Of both sea and space."
"I though there where no colonies."
"No but in the past 500 years we've put people on, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury."
"People live on other planets?"
"You got it."
"... Joslyn."
"Yes?"
"My friends, I was telling Pix about how I traveled with 4 other guys, did you find them?"
"No but if anyone can it will be Tru."
After a moment Duo spoke. "What's so special about Tru?"
"My cousin Tru works... a somewhat... double job. She owns a bookstore and is no stranger to history. But her real strength is that on her free time.... She's a... bounty hunter."
"A bounty hunter"
"Joslyn!" Pix's voice rang over the intercom. "One of the ships has been captured. They need you to get them out."
"Damn!" Joslyn growled. She stood and looked at Duo "I'll be back in a day or two, before Tru gets here."
She was gone before he could reply

Duo had fallen asleep on the couch. He was awoken by the sound of breaking glass and a female shriek.
Running into the main hall he stopped and gaped.
A girl of about 21 sat in the center of the hall, an over turned table and broken vase scattered beside her.
She was tall, about 5"9, with pale skin and freckles across he nose. Her hair was a shocking white and worn in a messy bowl cut with two longer locks at the front. Her wide eyes where, oddly, coffee colored, and topped by silver wire framed glasses. She wore black jeans tucked into brown leather boots. Her fitted, long sleeved, black shirt met with brown leather gloves at her wrists. She had a sleeveless coat that went to her thighs and had a high collar. It was a vibrant yellow, with brown belt ties and red hemming.
She looked up at him sheepishly.
"Hi... um... I fell?"
"Who are you?" Duo asked suspiciously
"Oh me? I'm Tru, eh, Trudy Fawkes. You must be Duo Maxwell."
Duo stared at the cheerful somewhat klutzy girl.
"You're the bounty hunter?"
She shrugged "Hey we all got to make a living"
She stood and brushed herself off. Then she studied him with a critical eye.
"So you're the gundam pilot?"
"How did you kno-"
"Wait till my cousin gets back. Then I'll explain."

Duo watched her saunter off to find a bedroom.
Looking up at the ceiling he muttered
"What have I gotten myself into?"
