SRR Ra`KalenChapter Forty-Four: Back with Remi and Elq
[ch`Revellion]

Tr'Remi has been sitting in a bar for most of the day with Tr'Elq generally enjoying the brief moment of peace. They had heard some here say of a new crew member. They traded stories and joked about the Kalen's method of "recruiting" staff.

ACTION> Chairs flying across the room, people yelling, and a stout unshaven fellow running out the door.

Both Remi and Elq glance over at the action, shrug their Shoulders and continue drinking. Like most Romulans, Remi thrives off of competition- Elq being Revellian was much the same.

ACTION> Imbibing of mass quantities.

Tr'Remi sits pensivly, while Tr'Elq raise himself off of the floor where he found himself after loosing the competition.

Tr'Elq>:stumbles to his feet: Hey Remi lets go out and get some fresh air.

Tr'Remi> Ai !

[Exit bar]

The two soldiers pour themselves into the street and continue their conversation.

ACTION> The unshaven fellow from the bar runs past the two of them and they both eventually recognize him as Tr'Ragorok.

Tr'Elq> What's Ragorock doing down here?

Tr'Remi>: noticing the group of locals encircling Tr'Ragorok: Preparing to recieve head trauma it seems.

Tr'Elq> Ai! :Spots Tr'Kuro with a female Rei'Kraansu: Maybe not!

Tr'Remi> :Rolling up his sleaves: Ai!!

ACTION> Both Remi and Elq charge the crowd

Elq bursts into the crowd and starts swinging wildly due to the quantity of rhenish in his gullet. Remi runs through the crowd and out the other side. Laughs. He too is ,suprisingly, a little more than drunk. He rushes back into the crowd and takes position in front of Tr'Ragorok. Tr'Kuro is hitting things, thereafter undicernable from meatloaf. The crowd is still closing in toward Ragorok. Ragorak staresat the crowd with haughty distain and throw his nose in the air. A large number of the crowd start swing their fists at Ragorok and Remi. Ragorok stands immovable. Remi reaches into Ragorocks bag and produces a war club.

Tr'Ragorok>:looking at Remi astounded: How'd you.....!!???

The fighting continues for another 20 seuren. Kuro seems bored and Elq had fallen asleep 10 seuren ago in the doorway of the pub. Remi was still defending Ragorok from the crowd.

ACTION> Sirens blare and heavily armed police pour into the square.

Remi, kicking a recently fallen victim of his war club, looks up to See the butt of a plasma rifle come down on his head. Remi wakes up with a jolt and comes to the realization that he is in jail.

*=\/=*


Tr'Elq woke up in dim surroundings with a raging headache and more Nausea than he expected for a night out on R& R. He noticed Remi huddled up on another bunk near by and Ragnarok sleeping with a smile on his face in another. Slowly the events of the night before came back to him. Ragnarok--the fight-- and of all things Kuro and his mark---he wasn't sure but he thought it was the new med officer---ending up in the middle of it. He realized he was in a cell and since this wasn' the first bar fight he'd been in, he knew it wouldn't be much good to go screaming at the guards to let him out. He did realize however that they would either have to take care of this quickly themselves or despite his reactions, make contact with Raith, and let him know the situation.

While Elq was going over all of this in his mind a guard brought breakfast for the inmates--beside for the three marines there were also a few other dilapidated Revellians present---mostly drunks sleeping off hangovers. Remi woke up to the smell of food, and as they ate they deciding whether to escape or to do this diplomatically.

They were both for escape as a quicker alternative than waiting around in jail for a day or two--though they realized it wouldn't work very well if they had to keep an eye on Ragnarok as well. As they were still debating what to do, a guard came with a message for them. He told them that they were being released and that there commanding officer had left orders for them to contact him as they were on their own.

The officers nodded and exited the cell, realizing that this had Probably cost Raith quite a bit for the speed at which they were released. Once they had gotten there things back from the guard they left for the port at which the Kalen had been docked and finding it gone, inquired from the Port master when the Kalen had left and were informed that it had been gone for about 7 hours and that Raith had left a small craft for them to follow him in.

They took the craft and as Remi piloted it Elq opened a communications channel with the Kalen to find out where they were headed. Raith was not at all pleased with the course the events of the last night had taken, but was appeased that at least they had kept Ragnarok physically intact. They were given there orders to follow the Kalen into Argada space and once there to make contact again for a specific location.

Elq acknowledged and signed off, giving there directions to Remi and Then returning to the com-panel on the craft, began working diligently at breaking a modest encryption code.

Remi> Hey Elq what are you doing back there?

Elq> trying to hack into the ch'Revellion criminal records--shouldn't be hard---i'm going to clean up our records.
