Arcane shakes his head as he has a bag slung over his back and calls down the elevator to the ship. "Thank you, guys. You can head on back and tell mom," he says to the changeling guards who helped him here. Even giving him some good pick-me-up drinks on the way here.

"Stay safe on your travels, my prince," one says while they bow their heads at him.

Arcane smiles as they leave while he steps onto the elevator and rides it up. "Hey, cap," Dedra says giving a hand wave smiling as the elevator comes to a stop. "So how was your last day?"

Arcane chuckles a little. "Better than I hoped…can't wait to come back home. Is the ship ready?" he asks, starting to head to his quarters to put some things away.

"Energy levels optimum," Dadea says passing by as he enters his room.

"Fuel?" he calls while putting the new stuff away. Using the one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six ways of organizing to his advantage.

"Last top off right now," she calls as she enters her room and looks over the systems.

Arcane hums as he looks at the cake box and carries it away to the mess hall, placing it in freezer storage. But after stepping out, he spies Nesa walking by. "Medical supplies? How are they?" Arcane asks stopping her.

"We are full of supplies as we can be. I even brought special herbs since we had one more day to stay here," Nesa says turning to him.

Arcane smiles now. "Met my other mother?"

"Zecora? Yes. She spoke in rhymes a bit too much," Nesa says.

"She's like that," Arcane chuckles. "Any case, be ready for takeoff," he says before walking to check on his arms master and pilot.

"Weapons all calibrated and ammo stored," Jaix says hearing him coming.

"Good. Be ready for takeoff," Arcane orders, walking to the bridge and taking the elevator down to it. "How are we doing here?"

"Everything is ready, just awaiting clearance," Mevea says looking over controls.

"Okay then. Mind if I sit here?" Arcane asks, walking up beside her. Both of them looking through the windows at the sunrise that is happening.

"Why ask? You are the captain," Mevea points out, turning her head to look at him.

"Alright," Arcane says changing into his humanoid form and straps into the co-pilot seat. "Coordinates are Omega. I got an adopted brother who can hook us up with work," Arcane informs.

"Omega…the scum of the universe," Mevea says wistfully.

"That belongs to Mos Eisley on Tatooine. But yes. Lots of job possibilities there. We will never run out even when my brother's does," Arcane says smiling.

"Alright then," Mevea says inputting coordinates. "What the captain says."

Arcane sighs carefully. "This is not the academy. So please don't hold a grudge and trying to one-up me. It is not worth it out here," he requested. "And I'm trying to tell this as a captain to a crew. But if you want, a friend."

"Don't start that magic of friendship thing," she says frowning now.

"That's mom. I am more of my father's side," Arcane says.

"Good. A real male rather than a girl on making friends," Mevea insults smirking.

"This is going to be a regular thing, isn't it?" Arcane asks, looking over the monitors.

"And I hope it stays that way. I have a lot of material to work with," she says, chuckling.

"Ah, whatever," Arcane scoffs chuckling as the screen shows the words 'Takeoff Approved'. "Punch it," he says proudly as the ship slowly lifts off with a lurch and made him roll forward in his seat and looks to Mevea as she narrows her eyes. Then slowly moving the sticks around before the ship slowly floats out of the hanger and into the sky. Arcane quickly getting back into his seat and pulling the straps on his belts tighter. "Now punch it," he says almost sarcastically.

Which earned him a quick boost to the engines and sent him stuck to the seat as the ship speeds off into the sky. A scream coming from Dedra and some boxes crashing before it levels off and Arcane wasn't as pushed down. "Dedra, look up gravity and ship stabilizers to hunt for on Omega…that you can take care of all our stuff," he adds as an afterthought over the ship comms.

"Tell me about it," Dedra complains before sighing. "Nothing was broken thank goodness. Just a scratch or two. I'll see what's available before we get there," she says as Arcane stares at Mevea as she gives a slight grin before he shuts off the comms. Their view now becoming one of the many fleet ships as they exit the atmosphere. With most of the fleet being of Darkline Stealth variant. But that wasn't on his mind at that moment.

"You almost broke everything."

"Stabilizers are always standard."

"Not an excuse."

Mevea just smirks as she preps for hyperspace and inputs coordinates for Omega. She is, in fact, looking very happy she is piloting a ship like this.

But Arcane had a few words. "Little to the left by a hundred meters."

Mevea looks over in confusion at him as he looks at the many screens available to see what each can do. But when she brought up the warp and map screen, she wasn't even in the lane and would have hit something on the way. Dammit. She sighs and moves the ship over to the left a bit and redos the coordinates.

"Prep for hyperspeed," Mevea calls over the ship comms. "Three, two, one," she says as she slowly pushes a lever forward as a whine comes from the engine and then their view changes to the hyperspace tunnel. "Time to arrival, six hours."

"Okay, good job. I'll leave you to it unless you want the company," Arcane offers as he keeps messing with some screens.

"It's simple…but I wouldn't mind for a bit. But don't be distracting me too much," Mevea warns, finally able to look away and give him a warning glare.

Arcane smiles a little and shuts off most of the screens before leaving the ship's status and map information screens on. Then turning his head to look over at her. "So…shall we start with the fact that you still hold a small grudge since we were rivals in school or talk about life in general?"

Mevea gives an annoyed raised eyebrow at him and she sighs. "I will listen to orders on the ground. But don't think me being comrades like this means we are with 'friendship is magic' thing like I said. We are comrades on pay. This means I can still go on my own if I wanted and you would have to find another. Giving you a fair warning," she huffs.

Arcane didn't say anything for a while but he shrugs for a bit and waits. "Do you hate me that much?" Arcane asks simply after a little while to give her a much-needed break.

Mevea's mandibles twitch before she sighs. "No…just…look, this is overwhelming. I was planning on going to Omega to grab some simple jobs and head somewhere better. But then you came along and I was thinking you wanted to show off after we graduated. But instead, you offered me to be your pilot with a large signing bonus. To say I was surprised back there, isn't saying much at all."

"Not bloody likely," Arcane mutters to his side before smiling. "But it's a better life than what you would have gotten, right?"

Mevea slowly nods, keeping her eyes on the screens. "That…I can admit."

"And I do intend to make sure my crew is well off and kept safe. Besides, can't run this ship on my own with all members are down and out," he chuckles a little at the thought and Mevea imagines him trying to use that magic and run every single control on the ship, looking freaked out of his mind. Something that graced a smile on her lips.

"Yeah."

"Well, good luck. Enjoy the view," Arcane says already walking to the elevator.

Mevea hums before turning to him. "If I was one of your kind…would you have treated me differently?"

Arcane smirks at her as he rode his way up. "Family can be made up of many kinds," he says before disappearing from view.

Mevea taps her chair lightly before turning forward again and leans back in her seat. A thought of what she would have found if she really did not take the offer.

"Hey boss, Omega is coming up," Dedra says opening his door and sees him organizing his room again. "Didn't you…already organize your room?"

Arcane looks to her before shaking his head. "Organizing number five hundred and ten. Redo and alphabetize backward."

"…you are a weird mercenary," Dedra just says after a while.

Arcane smiles a little as he puts in the last bit of his room. "Compared to my family, I'm one of the sane ones," he notes walking over and past her. "Everyone is coming along. And I want you to make a list of upgrades this ship obviously needs. Price, where to find it, and compared to other versions. And we are keeping that list. But make sure it can fit our ship too. Since this a prototype version, there might be some stuff that won't fit…and we need to order compatibility parts from back home."

Dedra smirks. "Long list. But I will see what I can do boss."

Arcane hums. "Anyway, let's get going and see my brother. Wonder how he and his girls are doing," he says getting on the elevator with Dedra and Mevea walking up a few seconds later. At which point, Jaix finally walks up with his fully loaded guns for himself and their own which he gives. Arcane hums as he leans his head out to look down the hallway before spotting their last crew member walking around the corner to them in a slimmer fitting suit and armor pieces on her. "You clean up nice," he compliments while Mevea sighs and presses the button to head down to get this show on the road.

"I thank you for the compliment," Nesa says respectfully.

Arcane hums as he looks over his omnitool for the map. He looks around the area as his group sticks close by him until they bumped into his flank and they look around him to see their dots are on the waypoint. "Here we…are…" Arcane says, turning to the office building with some guys in regular armor and weapons at the front door with nothing really written on it. "Wow. Maybe they should have these guys inside and watch through a one-way window," Arcane notes to himself.

"An excellent idea," they hear and look to the side and see a griffon poking her head through the window. "I'll make a note of it to him. Hi," she greets smiling.

Arcane smiles as he adjusts his shoulder armor piece. A full set of leg pieces on all four of his legs while some plates covered his sides and back. A set of box plates over his wings and a small reinforcement plate over his horn area. All in a sleek matte black finish that he already polished five times during the ride over…dang schedule. "Hey, Riksha. Where is he?"

Riksha shrugs. "Oh, the usual. Paperwork."

Arcane chuckles. "Still trying a flamethrower?"

"And still keeping it away," Riksha says proudly as she shows it. "So I assume you are here about jobs?" she asks and gets a few nods in return. "Come on in," she says stepping away and closing the window while the guards let them through.

Arcane and crew steps right in to see everything as bland as the front entrance. Straight, simple, clean, and narrow. What a way to go if being shot at. One of the guards now leading down the hallway before walking through a winding maze they quickly got lost in with how many twists and turns there are. But they stayed behind each other and even held onto their armor and clothing to not get separated. By the twentieth sprawling turn, they arrived at a door like all the rest lined up on the walls before it opens to a larger office with a large screen that covers the back wall, showing a camera feed of Omega's cityscape in a gross attempt to not have a window.

"Following geth logic I see," Arcane remarks jokingly and gets a blaster shot right beside his head. "Come on big bro, take a joke," he says still smiling.

Blazer sighs as he puts his blaster down and picks up his pen again. "I can…just you came in at a somewhat bad time. I was expecting you like a week later," he says looking at the clock. His outfit still his classic duster style cloak as his blaster and swords lay beside him on the desk in the large room.

Arcane shrugs as they all walked over to his desk while some looks around at the artifacts strewn about on the walls. "So…you got some starting jobs for us."

"Get me that thing over there," Blazer points to a glass of water sitting on the far side of the room while not looking up. Everyone looks over in confusion before Blazer notices their stares right back at him. "I'm serious. Go get me one."

Arcane rolls his eyes and uses his magic to pull one of the contained glasses over and puts it on his desk before catching a credit chit tossed at him in front of his face. "Wait…"

Blazer grins. "Congratulations little bro. You earned your first credit."

Arcane slowly turns his head back at him, still holding onto the dry expression.

"Value of money? Anything?" Blazer tries again, holding his laughter inside before smiling. "In all seriousness, I have at least four lined up for you. After which, you are on your own. Find some jobs by walking around or looking on some bounty site. Many places to find some jobs. Who knows, you could be working for me," he finishes with a grin.

Arcane reaches over and gives a flick to his beak with a hoof. Blazer reeling back and rubbing his beak at that. "Or you could be working for me one day," Arcane retorts as he smirks back.

Both stare down each other as the others feel a tense air brewing until it was broken by them laughing a little at the idea. "Missed ya, little bro," Blazer finally replies.

"How's Diamond?" Arcane asks as Blazer pushes forward four tablets with information on the jobs. The others taking them and looking them over while the two equestrians discuss some things.

Blazer smiles. "Resting with our kid in her. Hard try, but we have a foal on the way."

Arcane smiles broadly. "Congratulations. Where is she at the moment? Doubt here."

Blazer shakes his head. "With mommy Twilight on the Citadel. She teleported ship to ship to get back. And once Diamond makes her trip back to Equestria, she will take Diamond with her to have her checked out. But they figured of at least documenting a griffon and pony kid before the place faces another that might come along. Mommy Twilight's idea. And for good relations with their scientist and medical department."

Arcane sighs. "Yeah. Sounds like mom. And when are you going to head back to Equestria for a visit?"

"Not for a good while…you know what happened when our father came to visit with momma Spitfire and Applejack?" Blazer asks.

Arcane hisses and looks to the side. "Yeah. Isn't the ten wards still shut down?"

"Only two…I have taken over five with Aria's blessing. The other three are still up for grabs. That is why all, but Aria's crew and mine, are now scared of the Jedi and Sith. That gang didn't even have time to regret that some of their members tried to mug our mommas, " Blazer says smirking.

Arcane slowly smirks back. "Yeah. He's a badass father. Well, thanks for the jobs. This should give a good enough start."

"Buy the first round of drinks on me when you finish one of your first jobs," Blazer offers.

Arcane looks wide-eyed to him. "Mom would freak if I drank."

Blazer smiled and started to play a video. It was of Twilight and it was clear she was drunk and acting silly. "Twi…follow my voice. It's the voice of the citizens and the mayor needs her nap," Blitz says slowly leading Twilight away.

Twilight giggles drunkenly and suddenly hugged him and make the half-empty bottle slosh around. "Oh. This mayor needs her taxes collected. Would my strong citizen come to my…" Blazer immediately shuts it off at that point as they catch what Twilight meant overall.

"Still…" Arcane tries to start while forgetting that video of his mother. "…she might still get mad at me."

"Dad will remind her why she shouldn't be," Blazer says.

"You really want to risk mom's anger?" Arcane asks, keeping an eyebrow raised at him.

"Which one?" Blazer asks cheekily.

Arcane gives a slap upside the head at that. "I think we are going to do the jobs now."

"Heh," Blazer says smirking as he gets back to work.

"Boss, we caught the lieutenant that was selling death sticks in our turf," Blazer's communication says.

"Make an example out of them," Blazer orders.

Arcane ignores that as that job is over for them and goes over to his group. "So what do we have?"

"Fetching some cargo," Mevea says showing her tablet.

"The kicker is the cargo is something that the Coyote Riders, a small-time gang, has and are guarding it. This job is actually from the Eclipse. Blazer notes that he and my father have a deal going with them so try not to step on any toes with the Eclipse," Arcane informs.

"We have this bounty. Simple, easy," Dedra says showing hers of a turian with a ten thousand credit reward alive and five thousand dead.

"Any affiliations and who is paying?" Arcane asks.

"Aria…wanted for…pissing off the blue suns group. I say that's a good reason to be on Aria's hit list," Dedra reads off.

"Might be able to get some info from the blue suns on it if I ask my brother to help," Arcane says.

"You work on your own. Or pay up," Blazer spoke up while still working.

"Just want some info bro. After all, saves us all hassle if we upset them and them doing something to us provokes father," Arcane says.

Blazer tosses a tablet at him and knocks Dedra's head before she catches it. "Consider that a gift because I don't want everything blowing up."

"Oh, come on. Everything wouldn't blow up…on fire, yes," Arcane half-jokes.

Blazer rolls his eyes a bit amused but still kept working.

"What else?" Arcane asks looking over the tablet Blazer threw.

"Courier," Jaix says simply.

"Cargo or hoof message?" Arcane asks simply back.

"Hand message," Jaix says simply again.

Arcane nods. "What about the last one?" he asks looking to Nesa.

"Courier. Cargo. The other side of Omega," Nesa lists off.

"We can handle that. Thanks, bro," Arcane says over to the griffon who waves at them as they leave. "Which way is the exit?" he asks as they look around in the hallway as the door shuts closed.

Arcane hums as they all stand outside of the front entrance to Aria's club, each one of them looking over the maps and the jobs. "Might be best to split up on each of these. If you guys find any other jobs on the way, take them. We are going to need every credit. Dedra, you are going to see what the parts we need for the ship cost us before doing yours. Rather have a good list to work off from so we know what to work towards. After that, we can meet up at the bar. Do you guys hear a crackling sound? Anyway, sound good?" Arcane asks, turning around to look at the rest after marking the cargo location on his map.

Dedra hums as she brings up the current listing on the omnitool, looking over what she has. "A bit more, but I can find out on the way. Anything else boss?" she asks, typing in a few more items. An annoying buzzing noise sounding out behind them.

"Yeah…" Arcane slowly starts, looking at his map. "Try…not to step on any toes of the merc groups and Aria. We really don't want another Spike incident with her."

Mevea smirks. "Shouldn't be too hard if they are busy angry at someone else. Seriously, what is that crackling noise?" she calls out as the buzzing and crackling noises grew louder until a computer behind them explodes. All of them taking cover and aiming at the spot before frowning at the empty terminal, now destroyed. "That…was weird."

"Let's just ignore that," Arcane instructs.

All of them start to put their weapons away, but stood on edge just in case. "So I guess we just walk on normal now to our missions?" Jaix asks, turning to their captain who seems to be slightly unconcerned a random electronic just exploded right by them.

Arcane nods slowly, keeping one of his eyes on the broken piece of tech. "Yeah. I suggest we get moving before someone decides to take a potshot at us," he advises before turning and walking off. "The last one to the bar buys drinks," he calls off grinning before opening his wings and flying off.

"Hey! No fair! You have wings!" Dedra calls after the flying alicorn while they hear laughter. "I am so not paying. See ya guys," she says before running off with a wave to the nearby skycar and hops in. Jaix following as he gets into the other one nearby while Dedra takes off with him following.

Mevea raises a scaled eyebrow before turning to Nesa. "I don't know where you need to go specifically, but I need to speak to this guy about the cargo." Nesa simply nods as she watches the turian walk back into the small market doorway before it shuts behind her.

Nesa then hums before walking up to the skycar depot as another one flies in and lands. Her hand scrolls the terminal nearby as she finds the district where the Blue Suns' HQ is located.
