Gary Riley

Flightmaster (as he liked to call himself) Gary Riley exited the Blackbird and made his way to the streets of Venture Sigma. The city's nightlife was about to begin, just as exciting as it was dangerous, and he had enough spare credits to spend.

But even though the sun would soon set, it was still hot as hell. So Gary had dressed practically. He wore a white *-shirt with a brown leather vest, some plain grey track pants, and some dark brown combat boots. On his hands he wore a pair of black fingerless leather gloves, and on his wrist a digital watch that automatically adjusted to the time of whatever planet he was currently on. To protect his head and eyes from the sun, he had a brown cowboy hat and had sparingly applied sunscreen, a luxury here.

And to protect himself from others, he had an eight inch combat knife sheathed at his left hip and a military-issue laser revolver holstered at his right.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked down at himself. "I look like a god damn cowboy..." He said out loud, more as a general observation than surprise or embarrassment.

Shrugging, he continued onward through the city. Eventually his eyes set on a bar, the establishment he usually went to when he came to this city, and he walked inside.

Annie Wells

Unknown to Annie, her escape pod's descent was witnessed by Flugians in a nearby village. The Flugians were debating the way human children aged 6 years old debate, they were trying to decide whom they would send to check up on her.

"Me does it! Pick Flugian," said a thirteen year old Flugian..

"No, Pick, Flugian, Flugian'll does it," said the village shaman

"You equals both extremely very insane, pinchpinch! Me does it," Said the Village doctor

Eventually the Flugians decided to send the thirteen year old Flugian, named Pinchetha

Pinchetha made her way south, where there was a collum of smoke rising up from the jungle canopy. Suddenly Pinchetha heard a noise, It was a snapped twig. Who snapped it? It was close... So close that Pinchetha could hear it. Another twig snapped. Then she heard hissing. It was the Spitfire Snake, Trying to spit fire upon Pinchetha. Pinchetha ran as fast as she could as far south as she could, but the snake was close behind her, spitting fire at her. A fire bolt whizzed by and singed Pinchetha's antenna. Pinchetha continued to run, and came through a clearing, where she came upon Annie's escape pod.

"Help Flugian!" She screamed.

Annie sat on the other side of the crashed pod. She was feeling so weak, like she was about to faint and also in a lot of pain. She heard a voice coming near her pod. She pulled out her laser gun from gun holder on her waist for her protection. She was also very scared didn't know if these people are going to hurt her. -Dances-

The Self-Proclaimed Flightmaster

A few minutes later, Gary was sitting down at a table in Xenia's with a drink in his hand, contemplating the road that brought him here. And then he was so rudely interrupted.

A Slorian wearing ordinary clothes sat down at his table, while a bald human with a black leather jacket, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a bullet pistol holstered at his hip stood nearby. "Bill Gates." The Slorian greeted him. "You owe me money."

"First off, my name is Steve Jobs, which brings us to my next point - I do not owe you money." Gary explained. An avid reader of human history, he borrowed the names of two men who both went on to found very influential, competing companies, figuring there was no way a Slorian on some backwater planet would recognize them.

"Well that's odd. A man who looks exactly like you approached me last week to borrow some money for a card game."

Gary's eyes narrowed. "That doesn't sound like me."

"You sound exactly like him." The human man said. Suddenly the Slorian pulled out a laser pistol and aimed it across the table, which the hired thug was blocking from the rest of the tavern's view.

"You gave me a fake name." The Slorian went on. "I should kill you right now. But I won't. Instead, I want double what I loaned you originally."

"You know..." Gary began, one hand tightening on his own holstered weapon. Neither the Slorian loan shark nor the human thug caught on to this movement. "This reminds me of a movie I saw once..."

"Oh?"

"It was this really, really, really old film I watched when I was on Earth." Gary explained. "Six hundred years old, give or take. My history teacher in high school showed it to us, to show how far our technology had progressed and all that, and what we first thought...

...the stars would contain." Gary thumbed down the safety on his revolver. Between his talking and the background noise, both the loan shark and the thug failed to hear the soft clicking sound. "It really inspired me."

"Anyways, there was this scene in a bar. This pilot was sitting at a table, and then this alien shows up... I forgot what he was there for, but he ended up pulling a gun on the pilot. And the pilot, of course..."

Lightning quick, Gary brought his revolver up and blasted the Slorian in the face. The shot tore a hole straight through the Slorian's forehead. "...shot him."

The human's eyes widened, and he drew his pistol. Gary turned and shot him square in the chest. "Except..." Gary suddenly said as the man fell backwards, landing with a thud. "You weren't there."

And with that, he stood up and immediately began walking for the bar's exit, whistling casually.

Gary Riley

Whatever Gary thought shooting a Slorian in the face with his Laser revolver would accomplish, it didn't work the way he wanted it to.

The Slorian got back up, since he only suffered a flesh wound. The scale that got hit fell off "Bill's head", but "Bill was still alive. "Bill" got up to chase him, fortunately for Gary, Xenia's fell victim to a terrorist attack, A Flugian buisiness crab man blew himself up right next to "Bill" because he was frustrated for getting fired from his job as a stockbroker. Everybody fled from the bar, creating a distraction for Gary to escape "Bill's" henchman.

Oops

Of course Gary knew that his revolver would have little effect. Unfortunately, he had few other weapons at his disposal. So his plan all along had simply been to stun the Slorian, kill his hired muscle, and beat a hasty retreat whilst whistling the movie's theme. Right. That was it.

Then came the terrorist strike. Gary threw himself to the ground and body parts soared over his head. Then he immediately stood back up and ran for the exit, shoving past the crowd anf somehoe managing to avoid being trampled.

He stumbled out of the tavern and out onto the sidewalk. "That was my favourite bar, damn it!" Then he cursed when he realized he had forgotten his drink.

Deciding he had had enough excitement for now, he began making his way back to the ships. The truly fun stuff didn't happen until later, anyways. Perhaps he would swing by the Edgewalker and speak with Lurden...

((Could you please make a post introducing Lurden so Gary can approach and talk to him?))

Captain Lurden

Lurden was still busy working on fixing the EMP cannon, when he heard the Edgewalker's AI inform him

"Captain Lurden, Gary just sent an Email asking to meet with you. Reply?"

"Tell him that I am available," said Lurden while kneeling over and trying to clean the cannon.

"Yes, captain," Said the AI in it's robotic monotonous voice. "Submit DNA sample before submitting." she continued.

"I just submitted DNA five minutes ago, " Complained Lurden

"But, but, but, but. but it's DNA. It is required." Said the AI

"Just what do you do with my DNA," Asked Lurden

"I fry it and eat it," explained the ship AI. Lurden seemed shocked.

" That was a joke," explained the AI

"OOOOOH! For a second, I thought-

"Lurden, the thruster needs a tune-up. I just felt a valve fall off inside the thruster. It really hurt" said the Ship AI.

"Dammit," cursed Lurden

"Submit DNA to fix cannon," ordered the AI

"NO!"

Pinchetha found Annie and put her claws up, since she saw Annie's laser weapon

"Quickly! shoot snake, me going to die quite horribly if you doesn't! Me no want to die, me only thirteen."

"The snake slithered to Pinchetha"

"Quickly," urged Pinchetha."

Annie watch the snake got closer to the strange creature and herself. She took aim weakly and shot it on target. The snake dies. Then she aimed her laser gun at the strange creature and asked in a weak, painful voice,"who are you? Why are you here? Where am I?" She was very close of fainting but fighting it. She doesn't know how long she would last. She know she needs help but she was so scared. -Dances-
