Ronin - S02E02 Aside - Pack and Pick

[Ian Dugan]

Casino

The door opened and and the first person to see them was a very big bear of a man.  He had dark hair that surrounded his big dark face.  His fin silken tailored suit was stretched at the seams and buttons but held.  His his massive paws he had for hands was, to him, a tiny Alliance MKVII Sonic Blaster.

To anyone else, the Sonic would have been huge.  To anyone else the doorway would have been huge, but this mountain of a man had to duck and twist his shoulders to get through.

He wore dark sunglasses and spoke with a voice at odds with his deadly appearance.

"May I help you"

The voice could have come from a master baritone singer from an opera.  It was deep and resonate and very cultured.

The vibrations of his voice alone, could send shivers up the legs of most women.

Ronin

Janus followed the instructions to the letter and wondered who this Victoria would be.

((OOC) Think Barry White - An American singer for the 60's 70's and 80's.  Real deep voice but the man could sing)

[Victoria Dare]

Victoria paused in what she was doing and canted her head to the side.  Someone was coming.  Making her way down to the cargo hold, she kept her senses open, and before long she had a good idea of who was coming and what he wanted.  By the time Janus arrived, the doors were sliding open, and Victoria was standing there at the top of the ramp to greet him.  Her pale, doll-like features looked far too youthful to be those of an XO, and her slender form was dressed in light-colored, frilly clothing, not the sort of look you'd expect of a space-going criminal.

As a slight breeze wafted up into the Ronin, Victoria drew her shawl tighter around herself, but her eyes never left Janus with their intent gaze.  She could see what he was about to say, what he was about to do.  All the information he was planning to divulge but had not yet said was already known.  She had everything she needed.

"Well," she said at last, sounding not even the least bit surprised to see him standing there.  "Come in, Janus."  She turned away from him and made her way back to the control panel, ready to close the doors behind him the moment he stepped inside.

[Abigail Archer]

A bear of a man stood inside the door as it swung open.  Abigail looked up and cocked a brow, her lips curled into a smile.  He was intimidating, or at least would be to those who weren't packing. For Abigail though, he was her kind of people.  The light reflected off his glasses, revealing a blue tint, which usually meant they had some kind of chip in them bringing in information from the cortex, and they were pretty good in the dark.

"You sure can."

She grinned up at the man.  Her voice was sweet, which was usually out of character for her, but sweetness would probably help her more in this situation than violence and intimidation would.

"This very sweet man is giving me a tour of your fine establishment...you mind letting us through?" Abigail's body language eluded to the fact that the tour was probably going to start and end in Jax's room.

[Ian Dugan]

The man looked between the two and nodded once.

"ID" he rumbled as he held out his hand.

At the Ronin it was all that Janus could do to get inside the ship.  He was too exposed and just nodded at the woman as he entered.

[Jax]

As Abigail began to speak Jax slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her in close, he offered up a guilty smile as she finished her request. Jax presented his ID with his free hand.

[Ian Dugan]

The big man smiled and took the IDent card from Jax.

From inside a man shouted

"Hey Bochs, hurry it up.  We're on a time table"

It sounded like the man from inside called the big man "Box"

Box grumbled and looked at the IDent.  His glasses showed that the Ident was real and the man 'Aaron' worked in the Casino.  He had been on duty at the black jack table until 9PM.

Box looked over the card and saw the attraction between the two people before him and jumped to the obvious conclusion.  These two were an item

He gave the card back

"You'll only have ten minutes before we do a full shutdown of the Casino.  You'll need to be out by then."

He stepped back into the doorway and moved out of the way.

[Abigail Archer]

"I think we can manage that." Abigail grinned and winked at the man.  She looked up at Jax and nodded forward.  "Lead the way."

[Ian Dugan]

The countdown had started.

10:00

Ten minutes to get personal items and into the Januas's office and safe, get the money and whatever could be found and get out.

9:59
9:58
9:57

[ribsource]

Abigail and Jax thought there might be problems in getting the money from the safe, it wasn't. They did it in the allocated time needed, getting out with everything they needed to.

Once back to the ship, it was arranged that they would be heading to Hablong, with payment.
