				[spoiler]Ok, no pope then. Most of my serious characters are on Alpha-Tui, but I guess I can use the one still left in the dojo.[/spoiler]
[b]Drake walks out into the open.[/b]
"Why are you leaving?"
						English
						- 
   
	"Didn't you see the damn notice? Or do people just not care about our troops? There's an entire platoon of guards missing. And no one's doing jack shit."
- 
   
	"I mean, it is probably because such a large amount of the stronger members are on some random planet. Once they come back with their glorified pocket knife or whatever they are after, a search party will probably start up. The real question is, why are YOU not doing anything?"
- 
   
	"I am actually. I'm going to steal a ship, find them myself.
- 
   
	"That doesn't sound particularly legal. Tells you a lot about the law, doesn't it? I'm in, bit it'll cost you."
- 
   
	"What exactly would it cost me? Because you're volunteering. I didn't come to you and ask."
- 
   
	"I am desperately short on money."
- 
   
	"So how much?"
- 
   
	"How much are you willing to pay me?"
- 
   
	[b]He held up his hand, and pulled out a wallet. He pulled out nine intergalactic credits [/b] "This is all I got."
- 
   
	"Uh, how much is this worth in Earth money?"
- 
   
	"In dollars? Like 12."
- 
   
	"That is good for maybe ten minutes. I doubt that is what you were looking for, though. Just give me that money and some of your best gear and I'll help."
- 
   
	"Only gear I'm willing to give up us this" [b]He drew a rackety old. 357 revolver [/b]
- 
   
	"You train the dojo guard. Don't you have access to some armory?"
- 
   
	"Not for giving away."
- 
   
	"Would any of the guards that I might rescue have things to give?"
- 
   
	"If there are any to rescue, then possibly"
- 
   
	"Ok, just give me that gun and the money and I am in."
- 
   
	[b]He handed the money and gun over [/b]
- 
   
	"Great. So any idea were the guards might be?"
- 
   
	"Yeah, an island 25 or so miles to the east of here."
- 
   
	"Well then let's get going!"
- 
   
	"You wouldn't happen to have a ship, would you?"
- 
   
	"All I have is a small house, the clothes on my back, and a few guns."
- 
   
	"We'll have to steal one then!'
