Mission 8: Taking to the skies

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Action: outside 727 Anderson]

[Wes steps out of the house on his way to his oh so thrilling job. He stops and staresn at the airspeeder sitting in the driveway]

Is that? Oh that is!

[Action: All over Mayfield]

[Wes isn't flying anywhere in particular. He's just flying. Because he can. He'll stop for those he knows... to show off his new toy. Okay, and for any total stranger who flags him down]

[Action: 2237 Stevens]

[He does, eventually, turn serious. In the end, flying has always helped him clear his head. And when that happened, he knew where he had to go. Knocking on Gavriel's door.]

[ The space marine is in the garage, messing with a massive backpack of some variety. ]

I am over here. Interesting skimmer you have there.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Just who I was looking for. It's not space, but it's nice to be off the ground a bit.

[captainofthe10th]

Oh? I have found people only seek me out for a few reasons. Is there a battle to be fought? Do you wish to discuss the last undertaking?

[ He shrugs, looking back to the back pack and fiddling with it, using his tools, some of which are unfamiliar-looking. ]

Space is just another place for war, to me. It has rules different from land, but there is only war in either, of late.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

You get used to fighting certain places, the rules start to be the ones that make the most sense. But yes, that last mission.

[captainofthe10th]

What do you wish?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

I'm... not sure, really. I keep turning it over in my mind. Probably isn't healthy.

[captainofthe10th]

What is done is done. We may be hated for it, but we undertook it with the best of intentions...

And we learned something. As my brothers the Ultramarines would say, "Information is Victory."

[kettchmeifyoucan]

We did. If we'd known... but we didn't. There really wasn't anything that we could have done differently.

[captainofthe10th]

Indeed there was not. [ He looks at Wes. ]

So why do you brood upon it, then?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Too much free time, apparently. Or no one to be on the other end of this conversation with.
