An area of Earth littered with factories both old and new.

Kale stood quietly in a massive factory that built down into the ground, the factory was one of the many facilities that was the cause for so much PULP to be created. Kale looked down at a small piece of paper in his hand, reading it slowly. This took a good amount of time to read since his arm wasn't able to keep from shaking constantly. "So we have produced another 20,000 pounds of this, eh? Good, Load 10% of it in my Shuttle. I'm taking this batch off to sell, stations in space haven't been supplied in two days."

"A few stops here on here on Earth. Then meet me at 3044, 7689, 3004 coordinates in this sector..." He points down at a map he withdre from his pocket. "Your navigator can track my ship for 500,000,000 miles away, I know thats not much, but if you go to these coordinates like I said, it will be ok. No go." A man dressed in a heavy black coat nodded and walked off into the factory. Kale himself walked into a large warehouse in the other direction, to where his shuttle was. After two hours his shuttle was loaded and he was headed to the entertainment district on Earth.

A man ran over to the newly-landed ship and stood waiting for the owner. The ramp lowered off the Omaha and Ethan strode down the ramp to meet the man. They shook hands Morning Captain Katarn. I'm Urlor Mond, President of this little refit company. I undertsand we are to be makign extensive refits to your ship? He leaned to left to look at the Omaha around Ethan. Although it seems to me as though your ship is already in state of the art condition Ethan smiled It is only a couple years old, but there are some upgrades that can be made, and I want the Omaha to be the best ship she can be Urlor smiled back Quite understandable. Now i believe you are having a new weapons system put in? the WC5000. And as well two brand new X0501 sublight engines. A PS1138 shield system, the best on the market, and to top it off, four Dragoon hardpoint mounted variable missile launchers. Quite the shopping cart you have here Ethan nodded like I said, only the best of course. Now, your account will be charged directly so there will be no transaction problems. However it will take some days to install all of your parts, so you will have to find lodging somewhere here on the planet. If you'd like, i can arrange for a shuttle to take you to the entertainment district that would be great. Thank you (Next post will be in the Entertainment District)

Ethan looked over at Ryder, laying on the floor. "Yeah, she did just save you." He turned around in the pilot's seat and looked out the transparisteel. Saw his ship, with all of its new upgrades and modifications. "I guess we're gonna be laying low for awhile then."

Gazing thoughtfully down at Andy's figure, Ryder nodded absentmindedly at Ethan's suggestion.
"Yeah... I guess I'll have to for once in my life."
Then, after a moment's hesitation, Ryder bent down and picked the vampiress up in his arms. Well this seems familiar, thought the outlaw as he thought back to when they were fighting the Colossi.
"I'll be right back," he said to Ethan.
Ryder exited the main bridge and walked to the captain's quarters. Opening the door, he placed Andy gently down on his bed, left a glass of water for her to drink, and then left.
Arriving back at the bridge, Ryder looked at Ethan and stated, "I think we're gonna have to ditch my ship for now and take yours."

After two and a half hours of rest, Andy opened her eyes slowly. She lay on her back staring at the ceiling and tried to remember where she was. Shifting her head slightly to look around the room, she looked back up and said, "Oh. Yeah." The vamp remembered that she had passed out, but she still had no idea where she was. With a bed in the room and the ship-like walls, she assumed she was still aboard the Strahl.
A minute or two had gone by and she finally decided it was time to get up. Andrea struggled, still feeling a slight weakness, but her legs were eventually hanging over the side of the bed. She glanced over at the glass of water that had been left for her and smirked. “Glad you appreciated the healing”, she whispered. “Because I didn’t know I would pass out. Guess I’m just lucky to be alive..” Wait.
That’s right. She was alive. Andy clenched her fists angrily, but exhaled deeply to calm herself. If it weren’t for these stupid morals of hers, she would have considered suicide as an option a long time ago. The girl reached for the glass and took a sip of the water. Even vampires had to eat or drink, and she definitely felt dehydrated. As she continued to quench her thirst, she thought to herself.

After speaking with Ethan for about two hours and formulating a rough outline about what they were going to do next, Ryder thought it was time to check on dear Andrea.
Excusing himself and exiting the Strahl's command bridge, the outlaw strode to his personal quarters and knocked on the metal door.
"Are you presentable?"
There was a sarcastic tone to his voice, but it had humor in it.

Andy's head shot up when she heard someone knocking at the door. While setting the empty glass back where it was, she responded, "Yes. I'm quite presentable." With all the previous name calling, she knew Ryder's voice by now, so she knew it was him calling and she played along with his sarcastic remark.

As the steel doors slid open, Ryder could be seen leaning against the side of the doorframe with his arms crossed and a grin on his face.
"Oh damn, I had been hoping that you'd at least taken off your shirt," he remarked dryly.
Then, walking over to her and pulling up a chair from his desk, he looked her in the eyes and asked, "how are you feeling?"

"You wish." Andy smiled and rolled her eyes at the shirt comment. He sat in the chair and asked her how she was feeling. The girl noticed that Ryder was giving her full eye contact and her eyes shifted away for a few seconds and then back to his."Mm, a little drowsy, but I'll manage. How about you? That wound sure didn't look like it was treating you well."

Stretching out his shoulder muscles with a shrug, Ryder responded nonchalantly, "eh, it's a little stiff but I think I'll survive thanks to you..."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Anyhow, now that you and I have both recovered, I'd like to make you a proposition."

She raised an eyebrow curiously. "I'm listening." [Sorry. The posts will get longer. Just continue.]

"Well, since you did in fact save me from certain death, I'll let you in on a little secret."
Ryder leaned closer to Andrea and dropped his voice an octave lower.
"I've heard rumors about this... treasure, supposedly it's worth an a**-load of money because it's an ancient artifact build by a race called the 'Geth.' It's very old, so I can only guess what it is, but word on the street is that pirates and outlaws all around the universe are searching for it."
He blinked and looked Andy up and down.
"Now, I'm proposing that you and Ethan both join me on this little adventure and split the profit..."
For the very first time, Ryder noticed that the vamp had a very nice scent. A hint of lavender?

"Interesting.." Feeling a little sick of sitting down, Andrea decided to stand and stretch her legs out. She paced a little and stopped with her back to Ryder. Andy spun around quickly and walked back towards him."Okay, so say that I did go along with this treasure hunt of yours. How can I be certain that you'll keep a promise and split the profits evenly?" Crossing her arms, she gave him a wide grin. "I wasn't born yesterday."
