Mishka, Jack Pytheas Carter
Location:
Azeroth, Departure Zone
Crossing the vast floors filled with the teeming crowds of the station they came upon a large opening with a vast number 8 projected in shimmering blue from a holo set in the wall. Jack was fairly buzzing in excitement as he led them through the hall and into a vast chamber.
"Behold!" Jack cried, throwing his arms out wide. "The
Masallian Steed!
"
The hanger itself was a single vast room, but it had been broken into apartments by way of blast doors and plasma shields. The ship Jack indicated was a robust, work horse of a vessel squatting sullenly in one of the apartments. Functional rather than aesthetic, it had been retrofitted from what appeared to have been a low grade cutter made for shipping small amounts of product. A style of vessel which had gained reputation for harsh shipmasters driving their crew hard for greater speed. A viewing chamber was perched aloft on an arched beam like the head of a swan, its forward facing windows shimmering in the light of the plasma shield, all that separated the apartment from the void of space beyond. Several small turrets clung to the two sides of the ship, the dual barrels of their guns pointing out of metal domes like the flutes of an organ. Pipes and tubes ran from all over the apartment and into the ship like a life support system pumping life into an old man.
It was old, but the ship was in good working order by now. Efforts had been made to restore it to some degree, with new plates where rust could not have been merely scraped away and a new coating of paint. A prow had been added, a robust thing sweeping down the front like a sharp toed boot made of heavy steel to absorb forward impacts, and which now explained the need of the high viewing window should cameras fail. The old name of the ship had been painted over somewhat crudely, making way for
Masallian Steed
in bright, hopeful letters.
There were two obvious entrances to the ship. First being nestled under the engines; a large ramp on the rear of the ship which were even now being tended by several loading droids, their thick humanoid frames lugging various crates into the bowels of the old storage bay of the ship. The second was built higher and on the side, clearly for the embarking of the crew with several rungs crawling down the side of the ship to allow access. Though this door was designed to permit docking by way of a boarding tunnel, merely a ramp was provided since it was already in a pressurized area.
All this was visible through a set of large glass window in a wall. Jack beamed. "So, like it? Pretty nice huh?"
Mishka had already grabbed the door leading into the apartment which opened with a vehement hiss.

As light from within the hanger rushed through the doorway, shining into the hall, a shadow suddenly blocked it. Fading and normalizing into a detailed image, the shadow revealed itself to be a Kig'Yar; leaning against a wall just beyond the door with a smoking cigar in his mouth.
Perk glanced at the approaching group with the one eye facing towards them.

In a heartbeat Mishka had her blaster free and pressed against the forehead of the avian alien.
Character:
Lady Amora
Location:
Draenor, Aellis Shard
The doors boomed open. Lady Amora looked up and smiled as the two men entered the room.
Once they had been the darling of the palace. A pair of bright blonde cherubs, loved by the nurses and only too happy to play together, the jewel of their parent's eyes. Once. Sharing blood was nearly all the two had in common now.
Virgus lead the way in, as he always did, his flamboyant aristocratic hat thrown back to reveal flying golden hair. He seemed to retain that bright innocence of youth, everything a marvel that must be touched and enjoyed. A scarf whipped about his neck like a yellow striped banner. He was dressed in a double breasted purple shirt with golden buttons and swept up the stairs in much the same way Amora had a short time ago, the long blade at his side clicking against the stones.
His brother, Castus, on the other hand stalked in like a shadow, atmosphere thickening around him with palpable menace. Dressed in heavy armour of a black colour lined with glowing blue tubes of coolants. There was a thoroughly sharp appearance to him. Something brutal and vengeful, of particular pronouncement when next to his bright brother. His head was shaven completely, his boots almost cracking the stone steps as he ascended. The only light from him were his eyes that glowed a malefic red in shadowed pits, like a pair of low burning coal. They remained riveted to Amora throughout, flaring at the sight of her on his ancestral throne.
"My lady Amora," Virgus demurred as he fell to a knee. Amora smiled with delight on her protege, and glanced with amusement as Castus remained standing.
"Virgus," she cooed, presenting her hand. Eagerly, the youth kissed her rings. Still smiling, she turned her hand to the other. "Castus?"
The man stared at the glittering gems hatefully. Tense silence fell, unbroken even when, ever so slowly, Castus dipped to brush his mouth across her fingers. A sharp gasp sounded when Amora abruptly turned her hand and sent the bald head snapping back with a stinging slap. Glancing at the door with surprise, Amora merely smiled the wider when spotting Seras hovering by with a hand pressed to her mouth.
Virgus flinched at the blow, though not because he did not expect it. He watched with sympathy as his brother's coal-like eyes flared while they slowly turned to look a smiling Amora dead in the face.
"Impudent boy," Amora purred, her chest heaving with excitement. She pressed a button and the doors to the chamber swung shut. "Castus, Virgus," she repeated now in privacy, leaning back in the throne. "Thank you for coming. Ah, my boys..." she murmured happily. "My dear, dear boys. Thank you for coming."
"Always a pleasure, my lady," Virgus intoned sweetly.
"I'm sure it is," Amora smiled back. "But I did not summon you idly, I assure you. Rather, I invited you here because I have a task for you both."
The lighter brother let his puzzlement show. "A task, my lady?"
"Indeed my students." Leaning back in the chair, Amora smiled at first one, then the other, her eyes dancing with amusement. We're merely toys in her hands, Virgus thought, not with any ill will. Glancing to his side, he noted his brother was already fully aware of that fact. Ah, Castus...
Virgus snapped back to Amora's explanation. "I'm sure you have heard of that new world? Thule, I believe it was. Well, I would rather like you both to carry my standard to this new world. Imagine it, my boys," she breathed. "A virginal world, untouched, unmarred, my dears, merely waiting to feel my presence. And I would trust no one else," she added with a curl of a ruby lip and a lidding of darkened eyes, "then the greatest champions of my name."
"I assume you have conscripted someone," Castus spoke for the first time, his voice gravelly and level as a blade. "Outside of my family's house. I doubt you want anything tracked back to you."
"Such a clever boy," Amora whispered, staring into the black orbs of Castus. "As a matter of fact, I have. Someone I'm sure you're both familiar with. I was just about to call her."
"Her?" Virgus proclaimed eagerly as Amora tapped the keypad and sent the summons.

Both brothers turned as a screen crystallized behind in the air behind them showing a red skinned draenai woman with dark hair. Virgus smiled brightly at the woman on the screen while Castus retained his neutral turn.
Amora smiled returned the gesture of the draenai with a polite nod of her head. "A pleasure I share. I see you are taking care of yourself," Amora noted, her eyes sliding down the draenai's bodysuit, noting every dip and curve with a smile. "Things are well in Shattrath I trust?"

Slowly, Perk took a long huff of his cigar, removing it from his mouth and exhailing smoke towards the Orc.
"Get t'at bla'ter outta 'y 'ace,
niksneerg
!" He squacked, his facial structure leading to an accent mostly shared among his species; letters that required lips touching or creating were dropped or mangled beyond recognition. His final word was of his own native language; swearing at the bounty hunter.

Amora rolled her shoulders casually, her cape opening further at the front. "I have no doubt you are kept very busy." A single eyebrow like the wing of a bat rose. "Yes...no doubt. Anything in the near future?"

With a subtle whirr the false eye focused on the bird creature. "Give me a reason."
Jack was stuffing his face with peanuts in breathless anticipation. All three remote droids whirled about his head as though sharing in his excitement.

" 'ecauke you need a crew." Perk replied; raising up the datapad with Jack's post and responses filling the screen. "Al'o, you would ne'er get to pull t'e trigger." He added in warning, although he failed to make any visible motions aside from offering the datapad.

"How dear of you." Amora shifted in her seat, lounging amongst the cushions. "I never do know with you. You never call or visit. You refuse to join me. It's almost as though you didn't want to see me," Amora pouted.

Mishka's good eye twitched on observing the replies. "Pytheas," she growled, not for a moment lowering her weapon.
"Arphgrpghl," the human said through a mouth filled with peanuts.
With a click of her jaw as though she had bitten through a tooth from all her teeth grinding, Mishka spun her blaster away with one finger and returned it to her holster. "This'll be the death of me," she growled, eying the beaked alien with undisguised hostility.

As if finally finding his way, the orc entered a large bar. Angrily, he sat down, looking for something of interest, "I need to get in contact with someone," the orc grumbled to himself, "I need a ship; fast." Well, the best way to get attention was to be in a fight. But if he was caught, that would cause problems. Fortunatly, pinning blame was something he was good at; he had to be. An energy dagger appeared in his hands; now, who to target?

Amora crinkled her face in suspicion. With a sigh she let that point pass and let her good mood wash over her. Sagging in her seat she snuggled into her cloak and titled her head wryly. "Oh very well. Anyway, I was hoping you might assist me with something.
"My dear students," she said with a gesture at the two young men, "these strapping young men, have need to travel to this new world discovered. Thule. And I was hoping you might be able to provide their chariot of fire."

"Isn't it great!" Pytheas crowed.
Mishka shot the boy a withering glance he failed to register.

Virgus snapped to attention and saluted with a playful grin.
