Reggie grumbled. "Fine, but only this once. My ship, mostly my responsibility when I'm not being a lazy ass."Reggie said. "But I do need to ditch some of the junk on my ship. Running out of space."Reggie added. He went into the various, mostly small, rooms on his ship, gathering up all the junk he didn't need and piling it into some sort of ground vehicle that hovered a few feet off the ground.

Over the next few days Icias packed his belongings and piled them into the guest room on the ship, he sold his half of the company to his brother for half of it's worth so that his brother could afford to settle down with his soon to be wife. "Thank you for all you training, you could not have been a bigger role model Grislock." The two hugged and Icias boarded the ship which would soon be destined for space. He had with him around eleven or twelve thousand credits after selling his half of the company, that was also minus the two and a half thousand that it took to fuel the ship. "All systems are go, Reg," Icias said sitting down in the seat next to the viking. The ignition couplet had been replace and so the ship started instantly, without delay, "easy." Flipping a few switches Icias took control of the now hovering star ship, it had on it a fresh coat of paint also taken out of Icias's cash. The food storage was stocked and the pipes were cleaned, infact most of the money Icias had gotten from selling his shares of the business had gone into this ship. Nodding to his brother and his fiance' the polar Bearon pushed the throttle forward advancing on the sky. "Sky level one cleared, Sky level two, atmosphere, cleared," Icias had never flown a shuttle of any kind outside this level of the sky. It was extremely exiting, "Thrusts boost to power three of five, breaking atmosphere..." Icias held his breathe as the ship rattled a bit, "And Sky level four cleared, welcome to infinity." Icias was so exited, flipping the switched he gave control of the ship back to Reggie, "where are we heading first fat ass?" He smiled jokingly at his partner through his large, white Bearon teeth, ready for adventure.

"First place we're going to is the Kylon system. Got a commission from a guy living there on a space station."Reggie said. Spent most of the time we were on Cyross work'n on this."Reggie said, holding up a device. It resembled a similar device he had on his back. "It's a space shield. Let's people enter the Vacuum of space without the need for a space suit. Though, they still need a helmet and an oxygen supply."Reggie said. "Hell, if I didn't have an aversion to coorporate bull crap I would've sold this idea and made millions by now."Reggie said with a laugh.

Oop: My mental image of the ship was something like this:

Icias nodded, "ready for star jump, time until we reach our destination is...." The polar Bearon checked his measurements, seven hours! Lights began to flash as they prepared for the jump and as the ship jerked backward, Icias's heart began to race, he had never done a star jump. He had been in a star cruiser once when a ship had done a jump but that was almost a hundred years ago. This was his first time. The sensors calculated the pull of space time and cosmic interference before the ship lurched forward and took off at light speed. The ship stretched out by the speed it's density became next to zero as the ship created a string like shape whizzing through space. In the ship all appeared normal despite the slight gravity increase due to the speed at which they were traveling but other then that all was well. "So what is this mission exactly?"

((OOC: Ok, looks kinda silly to me, but it is your story.))

Oop: Yeah though this rp isn't supposed to be totally onehundred percent uber serious. I plan for more humor to be involved as it goes on.

"Well, currently we're just supposed to deliver this, and once that's done I'll have twenty thousand Credits in my bank that'll need to be split. I've heard Kylon's been having some trouble with a gang recently so I think we might be able to get some extra cash dealing with them."Reggie said. "After that I was hoping to drop by the Sol system and visit my parent's on Earth."He added.

Icias's ears perked up when Earth was mentioned, "I am actually from Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter... Maybe after we visit Earth we could swing by my home land and see the Bearon populous." He didn't think it was going to be a problem but he hadn't been there in ninety six years and wondered if it still looked like it did in his sweet memories. Sol System, was a long way from the Etro System that Cryoss was a part of. It had taken ships of a hundred years ago nearly a month to complete the jump to the system. But now star crafts did it in under a week. "Technology is really something," Icias said after a few hours, he pulled back on the Jump Throttle. Ships whizzed around them as they began o enter the atmosphere of the planet, "pretty good pilot, right." Icias was bragging of his skills in the vacuum, he wasn't a fighter, a gunner, or even very good at talking or stealing. All his sill stats lay in his sky pilot skills, and for that he was happy.

Reggie's ship broke through the atmosphere of Hirol, the only inhabited planet in the Kylon system, with the only other planet in the system being a moonless Gas Giant. "Yeah, you're good."Reggie said. Reggie fiddled with a few buttons on a communications console, before the image of a green, fish-like alien with eye-stalks appeared on it. "AH! Reginald!"The alien said. "Ay! That's Reggie!"Reggie corrected. "I just got on Hirol, where we meeting at?"Reggie asked. "Uh... well... I live in Vyroc. I'll send you the coordinates I'll meet you at."The Alien said. "Alright, see ya when we get there."Reggie said before ending the call. Soon a monitor between Reggie and Icias activated, reading off the specified coordinates that the Alien sent.

"Taking control," flipping a few switches the controls shifted to just Icias, the ship jerked for a moment before flying steady once again. Following the radar to the Vyroc quadrant Icias put the ship down on the Landing pad nearest to the aliens meeting spot, "I'll do some inspections on the vessel while you deliver whatever it is your taking to him and well meet here when your finished." There was no real thought in Icias's mind that this could turn violent or messy, but it really could. The Polar Bearon had no idea of what the customs here where, he could be rude by greeting the locals in the traditional Bearon way... So he got his tools out and started the inspection.

Reggie headed off the ship once it landed. It wasn't too long before he returned. "Okay, officially got money to spend in my bank, sent you your pay, and got a bounty."Reggie said, fiddling around on a phone-like device.

"Bounty?" Icias asked almost through with the check list he had been check off while Reggie was gone. "Are you a bounty hunter?" The Bearon check his final thing off as he felt the heat radiating off the ignition couplet. He heat meant that it wasn't the correct size for the ship that it was attached to. It wasn't good, but it would last until they had a free moment.

"Something like that. I sometimes do other side jobs aside from my usual tech commissions."Reggie said. "I mean, hey, gets money flowing so why not?"He added.

"So how much did we get for the last delivery?" Icias sat in the pilot seat, "and where are we head for the bounty... you know I don't fight right?" Pushing the power button the ship started up instantly, this meant the ignition couplet was still functioning well. But if it was used to much it could break, this wasn't like a gear breaking or something, if this couplet was hit by enemy fire or something the engine would instantly shut down and every system but the oxygen supply would be shut down including the radio. That would be bad, but some extra cash would be good for paying for that, so Icias would hold this information from Reggie for a bit longer. He would fix the problem before it became an issue, maybe once they reached earth...

"Don't really have to be a fighter. This guy's just a gangster."Reggie said. "From my experience Gangsters never have any training. Most ain't too bright either, but doing Moon Rocks for a few years'll do that to ya."Reggie said. "You not fighting really shouldn't be a problem. I can handle this guy."Reggie added. "And as for the commission, the Shielding itself is around like... twenty thousand credits on its own. That's my usual charging fee cause those things are a pain to configure. Plus delivery brings it up to around thirty thousand Credits."Reggie said. "Prolly most expensive thing I actively sell, short of a custom made ship which I don't do."Reggie said. "Now back on the bounty for a bit. From the info I got, the guy we're going after is usually seen in the more run down areas of the planet. Best canidate for his location right now is Urot. Which is probably the worst city on the planet. Coordinates are on the wanted poster."Reggie said, holding up the phone-like device he'd been using earlier, which had an image of a four eyed ram-like alien on it, alongside the necessary information for finding the gangster.

Pushing the throttle forward he sped through Vyroc until he cleared the city and began flying threw the dusty mountains of this planet, bellow were sharp rocks and rocky desert like terrain, but they were separated by tall raised landscapes of cactus jungles. Soaring through the thick air, Icias cranked the cold air, it was too hot out there to not, especially since no more then eight or nine hours ago he was on an ice planet. "Ten minutes until we arrive," Icias looked down at the map relative to the poster, "nine minutes."

Soon the city came into view. It was certainly an old city. "Okay, when we land stay on the ship and don't open it for anyone but me."Reggie said as the ship landed near Reggie's destination.

Icias watched the viking step off, as he pulled out a small book. "Now would be a good time to start the journal I promised Grislock i would write." He began to write for a few minutes before he drifted off to sleep, he had been awake all day, flown all nigh and now it was mid-afternoon on the second day. He had no reason to be up so slipping away into a dream state shouldn't be a problem, his journal hit the floor and closed, inside read his first entry.

Entry One: Dear Brother, Reggie is an odd one. It seems he has no roots left, why? I still have yet to discover. But there is a problem already, when we were back on Cyross I had to replace the Ignition Couplet or his may have blown, but all the ones we had were too big so there is a chance the ship could simply shut down if the couplet is hit in space travel or worse... while in an atmosphere. Anyway, I'll fix that when we get to the Sol System. That's right I am heading back to our home world! I can't wait...

The Polar Bearon began to snore as Reggie headed off to complete his bounty, would this adventure be just that, or would it turn deadly sooner then later?

Reggie headed down the street. It had been a while since he left the ship and had gotten some tips on where to find the criminal, named Mor'ypp he was looking for. He came to a bar that Mor'ypp frequents. The ram alien wasn't there, but Reggie got a tip on where he'd have the highest chance to find Mor'ypp, well outside of the bar. Reggie came to an alley way. Apparently Mor'ypp's gang often hung out in the area. Reggie's energy projectors came to life, with a shield forming on his left arm. He went down the alley way.

As Reggie walked down the alley way he came across several unconscious gangsster. They were severely beaten, and would probably need an ambulance. Reggie assumed another rival gang did this. He continued down the alley way, finding more unconscious gangsters. Some of the hardier ones were slammed into hover crafts parked in the alley way, or shoved into dumpsters. Eventually Reggie came to a corner. His jaw almost dropped when he saw the culprit behind the unconscious gangsters. Some kind of large alien was fighting them off. The alien swung its tail, slamming a few gangsters into a nearby hover craft knocking them out. It swung its armed sending even more flying. It wasn't long before it was the alien and a single Hicrodian Gangster left. The Hicrodians were a species of vaguely humanoid crustaceans. They had six legs and four arms. They stood between six and seven feet tall, and were covered in a hard chitinous armored shell. They were not only incredibly resilient, almost bullet proof, but also incredibly strong. The Hicrodian swung one of its claws at the Alien. The Alien caught it, and was apparently squeezing the limb tight enough to make the Hicrodian yelp.

Eventually one of the Alien's hands rose and locked around the Hicrodian's neck and pressed the gangster against the wall. The Alien was massive, easily being as tall, possibly taller than, as Icias. Judging by its general body shape it was apparently female. Its skin was pale, similar to a human's, but it also had symetrical dark brown markings on its body, or atleast what was exposed. From the Alien's head jutted a pair of horns. They were dark grey, and heavily scarred with one horn having been chopped in half. From the armored skirt the alien wore came its long tail. The tail surprisingly had no markings. The Alien's hair was black and pulled into a ponytail. "WHERE IS MOR'YPP!"The alien screamed in a loud, powerful voice. "I DON'T KNOW I SWEAR!"The Hicrodian yelped in fear. "TELL ME NOW OR I SWEAR TO THE GODDESSES THAT I WILL TEAR YOUR SHELL CLEAN OFF YOUR BODY!"The Alien responded. "I'M SERIOUS! I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHERE HE IS!"The Hikrodian replied. "Rotten welp. I'd skewer your pathetic husk if I had my sword."The Alien said dropping the Hicrodian. It wasn't long before he scuttled off.

It took Reggie a few minutes to figure out what the Alien was. The Alien was of the K'zayl race. The K'zayl were a race of mono-gendered, proto-mammal humanoids. They have a male counter-part in the form of the Z'kayl, a much smaller and slightly less xenophobic race. The K'zayl weren't particularly advanced. If it weren't for repeated visits by the Greys, who are responsible for the split between K'zayl and Z'kayl races, the K'zayl would have never been able to leave their home planet. Many, and easily the largest of the race, were Warriors. They're incredibly well known for their immense strength, and they're disrespectful views on men.

"Uh..... d-did you do all of this?"Reggie managed to say. The K'zayl turned and saw Reggie. "I thought I beat all of you."She said. She soon was stomping in Reggie's direction. "Perhaps you know of Mor'ypp's location."She said, before noticing the horns on Reggie's helmet. "YOU DARE INSULT MY KIND WITH THOSE PATHETIC HORNS?!"She screamed, grabbign Reggie by the shirt and hoisting him up in the air. "N-NO! NO I DON'T! THEY'RE VIKING HORNS DUDE! NOT K'ZAYL HORNS!"Reggie yelped. The two heard a clack on the ground. Reggie had dropped his 'phone', which still had the wanted poster of Mor'ypp on it. "So you are with that scum Mor'ypp."The K'zayl said picking up the device. "N-no, but I am looking for him. That's a wanted poster, can't you read?"Reggie asked before being dropped as the K'zayl examined the 'phone'. "I am capable of reading, but I cannot read this... indecipherable gibberish you call writing."The K'zayl said. "Well, it has any useful infor-"Reggie said, before being cut off. "Shut your filthy sound hole, I hear something..."The K'zayl said.

Soon one of the Gangsters the K'zayl fought was getting up. The K'zayl immediately grabbed him and pinned him to the wall. "WHERE IS MOR'YPP!"She demanded. "H-HE'S LEAVING THE PLANET! HE'S HEADING TO GEROB! A-AND HE'LL BE FLYING A HUMAN SHIP! A-A TERRAN PHOTON WING F-FORTY TWO! IT'LL HAVE GERRIAN INSIGNIAS ON IT!"The Gangster whimpered. "Weeeeell, that was really helpful but I think I'm just gonna go now."Reggie said grabbing his 'phone' and beginning to leave. "You have a ship yes? You will take me to this... Terran... uh... What ever place! NOW!"The K'zayl demanded. "O-Okay! I think I might have a spare room on my ship."Reggie said before continuing, with the K'zayl following. him to the ship

"Uh.... Icias. We've got a new guest whose gonna be going with us."Reggie said. "Ugh... this place Reeks of Men. And Ursine."The K'zayl groaned, covering her nose.

Upon the two arriving Icias shook his head, "there are only two bedrooms on board and unless you plan on sharing she can't come..." He didn't want to sound as demanding as it seemed he did, but this cat lady looked scary. "Bearon's need a lot of space and being ten feet tall I'm already crowded in there!" He tilted his head towards the armory, which apart from the small storage closet, was the only other room even relatively big enough to be a room. "Unless you make her live in there then we simply can't house her." Turning to the female he roared loudly, as custom when greeting a lady. Greeting men you just say high, but females... Only your strongest roar I acceptable to show your greatest and most gentalmanly respect, "good to meet you miss, I am very sorry for the trouble."

"YOU DARE THREATEN ME, BEAST?!"the K'zayl roared back. "I AM SARCARAS SERVII! THE WARRIOR QUEEN OF THE HIROKA K'ZAYL! TO CHALLENGE ME WITH SUCH A THREAT WOULD BE DEATH!"She announced. "Oh, she's a Warrior Queen!"Reggie said in a surprised squeaky voice. "Uh, if you'll gimme and my friend a moment to uh, talk I'm sure things'll be fine!"Reggie said, before leading Icias off into another room. "Icias, I've been to the K'zayl home world before. They're a proud and very temperamental people. Please refrain from doing anything that might be seen as aggressive to most other humanoids. Especially considering she's a Warrior queen, so she could kill us both with, like, a shoe. Thankfully not all K'zayl are screaming wackos like here, but plenty are. If we can get on her good side than hopefully we might be able to get her to relax a little. And don't expect to not be insulted on a daily basis. Most K'zayl don't like guys, and Warrior Queens despise them."Reggie explained.

Icias wasn't much threatened by the woman, but he was taken a back by her threats against his life when he did nothing but great her in the most gentalmanly way he knew how. "Aggressive?" Icias asked, "me aggressive, no way I just greeted her in the traditional Bearon way. Woman are treasures and deserve to be greeted as such." He was very honorable compared to other races, but as fearless and honorable as Bearon's were, their days of fighting had ended long ago. "I have nothing but respect for your lady friend but if she doesn't like us and hates men anywaym, why bring her long!?!" He peaked out of the bedroom and gave the woman a big toothy smile before returning his place infront of Reggie, "we don't have the space and she is a dangerous race," Icias chuckled at the rhyme, "please don't let her stay..."

((OOC: Playing two characters is fine, it is ur story, but could you separate them better? Or make a new character for the woman?? I had to read that twice to understand it..)
