Babylon 5: Outrageous Fortune

[Friday]

Eyeing the woman sharply, Vector absent mindedly toys with fragment on the chain round his wrist.
"What kind of trouble?"
Finishing his vodka, Vector crosses his arms and looks straight at Ashley.
"Before we go anywhere 'more private' miss, you're going to have to give me a little more to go on than that. Who do you work for?"

Kirth is amused by Vektor calling Ash "Miss," hehe. "What a novel concept," he thinks.

As the young Centari downs his third Lor'gak, laughing and chatting with a few local lovelies at the bar, the more ernest and serious conversations seem to die off in the establishment. Eyelids droop merily, and even beings that aren't drinking start to sway and occasionally blurt embarassing things as if they had been pounding their native intoxicant for hours. A mellow buzz settles over the entire place as the local girls order another round for the vested lethario.

Eyeing the woman sharply, Vector absent mindedly toys with fragment on the chain round his wrist.
"What kind of trouble?"
Finishing his vodka, Vector crosses his arms and looks straight at Ashley.
"Before we go anywhere 'more private' miss, you're going to have to give me a little more to go on than that. Who do you work for?"

"The same people Raive does now," Ashley answers, then grimaces a little and looks around. The olive branch would have to be passed by someone, or this would never work. She'd have to be the first to offer, it seemed.

"The ISB," she said quietly, hardly moving her lips at all. "And what we're interested in is something infinitely more dangerous than Tal tech. Working with us, you'll save lives...including very possibly your own." She looked up to meet his eyes. "That's all I can say here."

An arch reply hovered on his lips, but something in the woman's demeanour gave him pause.
More dangerous than Tal tech?
A part of him wondered if that were possible but...there was an undercurrent of something to this, some kind of tension that he'd only felt...before.
"Ok...you're appealing to my sense of self-preservation, if not my malnourished scientific curiosity....there's a small, unfrequented Narn place down the street"
Vector straightens himself, and takes a quick glance around the bar.
"No-one goes there because the old guy running the place has some deal with a spoo farm somewhere...its all he ever sells...I don't why the Consortium hasn't moved him on. We can talk there"

GM....

Ashley nods and motions to the others with a flip of her hand. She then gets up and gestures for Vector to lead the way.

"After you."

On arriving at the Narn's joint, reeking unmercifully of spoo, she picks a table far from the center of things and sits down. She waits for everyone else to be seated as well before beginning.

"We have reliable intel that someone in this area...maybe here, maybe on the surface...is using the technology of the Shadows," she said quietly. "An artifact obtained here, supposedly of Tal make, was later revealed to be a hybrid piece of tech, and neither source was Tal. We're here to find out who made it."

She leaned closer.

"I don't know if you know how dangerous the possibilities are here, but you have to understand that whoever's using this black tech is fooling with things they do not, cannot, understand. It's only a matter of time before it blows up in their faces...and very possibly the faces of everyone here."
