[OOM] Transimir Station, Lower Levels.

[stuck_mynock]

After their twelve hours inside the safe house, there's a sharp ringing from the computer, and a hum and click from the door.

The ringing lasts all of a few minutes, before the blurry Kaleesh appears again.

"Meet us on the Central Bridge. Your computer has a map." With that, he's gone again.

"We believe, currently, that he has taken up work in the maintenance levels under the name Ragar Len. Retrieve him and bring him here. We will be going to the Exchange offices to steal a ship, so that we can pick you up and go down to the planet."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Okay." Guppy says, looking at Will with a worried expression.

"Are the troops still looking for us?"

[will_scarlett]

"Since I can 'ide in me cloak but 'rhaps might need more than that."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"They are looking out for you, but they're poorly informed as to what the both of you look like." Pause. "Hide your hair."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy digs through his bag and finds a beanie hat he packed in case of extreme cold.

"Like this?"

[will_scarlett]

As Will again pulls up his cloak and his red hair is gone from sight.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Good. Come back here when you have him, or his work."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods and walks away with Will.

"Do you think they'll hurt him?"

[will_scarlett]

"Na if 'e gives up what they wish."

[guppy_sandhu]

"I hope he does." Guppy says, pressing the lift button again.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, so do I just wish to get off o''ere."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

As the lift moves, a news bulletin starts. Enzu Koren, still armoured, appears.

"All citizens of Transimir Station are reminded that my flagship, the Wyrm, is in orbit with a sizeable fleet, and will attack any ships leaving or entering the station. Earlier today, two transport vessels were apprehended, and their crews are currently in custody, pending trial. Attempts to leave the station until our investigation is over will not be tolerated."

The news flicks off, back to some vapid story on local vegetables.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy takes a deep breath, fiddles with the locket around his neck, and looks at the floor.

He wonders if perhaps there is somewhere in here in which he could purchase Valium.

[will_scarlett]

Will gives his shoulder a squeeze,

"Will get safe."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy gives Will a quick hug before the lift opens.

[will_scarlett]

The lift seems quiet as they step in though Will would be so happy if he could see open sky again.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy has gone very quiet.

The hat feels odd. He doesn't usually wear hats, he has so much hair that he feels like they compress his brain.

[will_scarlett]

Will's used to hiding in his cloak so its not that strange, he just hates being in a place where he doesn't know all the ways to get out.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy is trying not to think about this place as being completely trapping.

He squeezes Will's hand briefly, then goes out of the opening door.

[will_scarlett]

As they exit the lift, Will checks to be sure they're not being followed.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Which way?"

[will_scarlett]

"Should be in the maintenance levels so probably somewhere warm an out o'the way. Let's try this way."

Then he sets off towards a right hand corridor.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy follows closely.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The maintenance levels can be detected from quite far away. They're noisy, for a start, filled with people yelling, and the sounds of engines.
