A/N I think it's been about 5 months since I updated this fic, maybe less,
but I haven't updated it in awhile. School just left barely any time to
update. But now I'm updating. Hope you like this chapter.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Galactica, which, if you forgot, is the planet Maki is on right now. Galactica belongs to AlphaBlades.
Maki sighed as she took the metal tray to the ship's kitchen. Why had those memories of Hazanko triggered such a powerful response? She hadn't even realized an attack like that was possible. Most bio-androids couldn't perform high-powered sonic waves, and the ones that could were military models. And those military models, she gathered from news reports and newspapers, were only about twelve years old. She was more than forty years old. Although, she hadn't aged at all in thirty years, but she couldn't possibly be a military model bio-android.
She walked slowly and did not pay attention to the things going on around her. She barely noticed when she bumped into Davis, sending him to the floor, clothes lying scattered about. "Oh, sorry about that, Davis." She looked at the clothes on the floor. Her face turned beet red when she saw a pair of white boxers on top of her little robot's head. ((If you forgot, she got the robot in the first chapter.)) She giggled and then started laughing hysterically.
After she managed to get a grip of herself, she helped Davis up, although she would have thought he would have gotten up by now. Davis didn't seem to notice the boxers on her robot's head as he was picking up clothes. "Davis, you might want to get Rift's boxers off of my robot's head. They don't make a very nice hat." He turned around and snatched them off, and then went to Rift's room.
"That girl is a weird one. She acted as though she hadn't seen guy's underwear before," Davis said, his back turned as Rift was getting dressed.
"Well, they were on her robot's head, weren't they? I think that's pretty funny. I mean, I would have laughed, and I see guy's underwear everyday." Rift looked at his brother, who had turned around, a weird look on his face. "Oh, I'd better rephrase that. I see MY boxers everyday, but them being on her robot's head would be funny." He put on a black shirt, making him fully dressed.
"Well, she's still weird. I mean, what type of girl kicks a guy's ass in five minutes flat?"
Rift smirked. "One hell of a girl."
It had been thirteen days since Rift and Maki fought, and the Venus Eclipse was now fully repaired. Although, Maki had no idea where to go. Galactica was a planet she had never heard of, so she assumed she wouldn't know what system she was in. And she didn't like the idea of launching and going to just anywhere. So, she started to look around for mercenary jobs. She was still a good fighter, so she felt no need to waste her skills.
Earlier that day, she had gotten word of a potential employer, but that's all she knew, besides his address. She wandered around, trying to find the building, when she saw a huge line of people in front of a building. When she looked up, she saw that the building was the one she was looking for. Her hopes fell. No way in hell would she get a job with this many people trying to get it too. Well, there wasn't any harm in trying, so she decided to wait in line.
The wait took forever until she finally reached the small desk at which a business-type man was sitting, black-suited bodyguards all around him. He laughed when she came up to him. "Is this a joke? You look like a high- school student with no muscle, and you're a girl. I'm sorry, but you'd die even before you got to the location. Next!"
Maki slammed her hand on the desk. "Wait. I'm not a high-school student, and I have a great deal of muscle. You just can't see it. As well, I'm a bio-android." The man stopped laughing.
"Well now, that's a whole different story. How old are you, which model are you, what can you do, and what information is stored in your hard drive?"
"I am a little more than four decades old, though I was asleep for three of those decades. I'm not a mass-produced model of bio-android, but a prototype that never made it to the board of director's to be approved. My model number is 0001, with the codename Eternity. However, that is not my name. I can perform all functions humans can, with added strength, speed, and accuracy. However, part of my database was never completed, so I am not sure of any other abilities I may possess. My hard drive never had anything on it, so it became a recorder, automatically modified to record only specific memories that had any significance to my development, plus any I wished to keep. Any other information you require?"
"Yes. What is your name and what type of ship do you have, if you have one?"
Maki hesitated. She didn't like the idea of giving out her real name to people she didn't have to. A few people already knew it, but that couldn't be helped. "My name is Kashamie Manare and I own a grappler ship. It is very fast and I've rarely had problems beating an adversary with it." She shuddered at herself for using her dead friend's name, but she felt Kashamie's name should still have a presence. She had earned it, more so than Maki could ever hope to pay back.
The man smiled. "Well, are you the crew of your ship, or are there others?"
"I'm the crew."
"Good. I believe we can work something out. Have you heard of Adragon?"
"No."
"Well, it's a very powerful space station, very well protected, and it is home to several bandits who have been destroying several of my company's cargo ships, and we haven't been able to get many supplies to our stores, so profits have dropped significantly. As you can see, we really need the get rid of the bandits in order for my company to recover. We've almost broken even, and soon we'll be losing money. So, are you interested?" She nodded. "Well, please come inside. We'll discuss your payment and you'll receive more information about the station."
A bodyguard led her through a narrow hallway and into a small room. Sitting on a large couch were Davis and Rift.
They both spoke up at the same time. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
A/N Probably shorter than some of my others, but at least I'm updating. Anyway, hope you enjoyed. The next chapter will be more interesting, I promise.
