"What is he blackmailing you with exactly?" Xane asked. "Your family?" OOC: Gotta go, possibly.
"How long has Cotaxus been blackmailing oyu?" Xane asked. "Ever since you became Hairis, or earlier than that?"
Several EK soldiers climbed out of their ships, handcuffing any UPA officers left alive once they reached the ground. Mellodia walked up to Skinnar and motioned with her gun for him to take a seat on a nearby lawn chair. Xane walked with up to her saying, "I've got an idea on what to ask these guys."
"Gravity beams," Venture sighed. "Hold them down at precisely thirty-five percent!" At once, several ships fired green beams out of their secondary rear cannons. The beams quickly hit the UPA ship and started to pull it back towards the earth, slowly.
OOC: Stupid typo...It's edited at any rate. BIC: "Settle down, Skinnar," Venture said. "Your ship won't be able to escape. It'll be much easier for all of us if you'd just calm down and give us some answers."
"Duck for cover," Xane cried, pushing Mellodia to the ground. As he did he noticed several lights brighten the sky. Hundreds of silver EK ships surrounded the UPA's forces. The main ship was a giagntic blue Hiryon-Model 8B. One of the finest ships ever made. This one, however, looke like it was heavily customized to fit a variety of weapons. Some only found in the deepest regions of the Ulfire system. "You gonna drop the weapons willingly, or are we gonna have to make you?" Venture's voice asked, out of the intercom of the Hiryon. OOC: Not yet, DK. Not yet...
Two shots rings towards Skinnar. It was Mellodia, who had picked up one of the guns of Skinnar's dead guards. Xane watches for a while, not taking action yet...
At the sound of gunshots, Xane instantly woke up, running outside. Seeing the two UPA snipers fall to the ground, he asked, "Did they attack us or somethin'?"
Xane was snoring in a cot, apparenttly trying to get a nap in, before facing the Brotherhood. Mellodia pulled a blanket over him and prepared to contact Venture, who was gathering the EK army's mechanics.
Xane walked back inside the base with Mellodia, keeping an eye on the U.P.A guards. OOC: Gotta go.
"But, it's..." Xane started. "I guess there's no convincing you, then. You're not gettin' the Virus. Now, get that gun outta my face."
"...Does any of that really make any sense to you?" Xane asked. " 'Cause if it does, I'm startin' to doubt your sanity. Even if you do make the Virus into the U.P.A's personal weapon, once you release it, it'll have another chance of escaping!"
"You're just underestimating it," Xane said. "It needs to be destroyed, not used as a damn weapon!"
"I don't think you understand," Xane said, shaking his head. "It's more powerful than you think. I wouldn't care if you had the best scientists of all three systems! All the Virus would do is free itself, kill you all, and start causin' havok everywhere!"
Xane narrowed his eyes. "Let me ask you something, Skinnar..." Xane started. "Are you really that overconfident? You really think that somethin' like the Virus can be controlled?"
"Maxilo?" Xane scoffed. " I doubt they're gonna find anything. Maybe you should try listening to me for once. I'll talk slowly, just so you can understand. We. Don't. Have. It."
"See, the thing is...," Xane started. "We don't have it right now."
"So you finally decided to come speak withus?" Xane asked. " 'Bout time!" OOC: Not sure when I'm going to be able to actually post properly. I'm using a different computer right now.
"Well, what're we waiting for, then?" Xane asked. "Let's get movin'!"
OOC: I probably won't be on until much later tonight, if you can wait. Last post for right now. BIC: "Right," Pharell nodded. "I'll get my troops and head there immediately."
