As Joshua Conway awoke in his leisure clone, he heard her voice.
GÇ£So what do you want to do today?GÇ¥ asked Adenine
GÇ£Well we could catch another Thukker Caravan. Those pancakes of theirs were pretty good. What do you say?GÇ¥ replied Josh.
GǣThey were good. ButGǪ. I felt like everyone there was staring at us. Like they had never seen an immortal before.Gǥ
GÇ£Oh come on, you are just imagining things. But if you donGÇÖt want to go thatGÇÖs fine. We could stay in station and watch some movies. WeGÇÖd only have to kill a couple days before we head back to Gallentean space.GÇ¥
GÇ£BlekGǪ I want to go have fun. This is as close to a vacation as weGÇÖve gotten for a while. Accepting contract, chasing leads, killing pirates, plus some other stuff in between. Look, I want to find her as much as you do, but I also want to forget my nightmares, even for a just few hours.GÇ¥
Josh sighed. GÇ£Alright, what did you have in mind?GÇ¥
GǣWellGǪ. I was snooping through your chat room logs and IGǪGǥ
GÇ£YOU WHAT?!GÇ¥
GÇ£Oh relax. You sure do have some interesting conversations with some interesting characters. A Pixy Highball? A DeathGÇÖs Door? That is some serious ****, Josh. I think I need to talk to you later about that,GÇ¥ she said with a concerned face. GÇ£Anyway, I saw a thread about this new caf+¬ opening up called the Tribal Spear. ItGÇÖs immortal friendly and in our area. So, can we go? Please?GÇ¥
GǣUghGǪ.Gǥ
GÇ£PLEEEAAASSSEEEEE!!!!!GÇ¥
GÇ£Yes, yes, yes! Fine! Go grab your coat and your Ion Pistol,GÇ¥ caved in Josh doing the same.
Before leaving he grabbed a pair of glasses and a watch. Lastly, he put a small headset in his right ear.
As the pair left the station quarters Josh spoke into the headset.
GÇ£Irina, get a shuttle ready with the coordinates to the Tribal Spear,GÇ¥ commanded Josh.
GÇ£Yes, sir. I see you two are finally going out to have some fun,GÇ¥ replied JoshGÇÖs A.I.
GÇ£No, Irina, IGÇÖll probably be the only one having fun. HeGÇÖll probably be worried about an impending attack the whole time,GÇ¥ laughed Adenine.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The flight was short but nauseating. Josh never felt safe in Minmatar ships. He always feared they would break apart mid-flight.
GÇ£For the love of GodGǪ IGÇÖm glad the duct tape held together,GÇ¥ he said.
As they approached the establishment Adenine had a large smile on her face, while Josh had a grimace. He kept wondering just how GÇÿimmortal friendlyGÇÖ this place was.
The interior was nice, but nowhere near as nice as some places near his home in Gallentean space. But nevertheless, his grimace disappeared. The Caldari and Minmatar influences in the place somehow blended so well, and it felt very home-ie, and comforting. One thing bothered him though, and he went up to the mortal bartender.
GÇ£UhmGǪ excuse me. IGÇÖm sorry to bother you, butGǪ. Where are all the other immortals?GÇ¥ he said meekly.
The bartender smiled and shook his head as he pointed to the elevator doors in the back of the caf+¬.
GǣOhGǪ Thank you,Gǥ said Josh with an embarrassed look on his face.
The two made their way to the elevator and were stopped by the bouncer.
GÇ£Evening folks. IGÇÖm going to have to ask you both for your Ion Pistols,GÇ¥ said the bouncer pointing to their weapons.
GÇ£What? Why? How am I supposed to know that someone in there who might have a grudge against me doesnGÇÖt have a weapon!GÇ¥ said Josh in a stern voice.
The bouncer smiled and shook his head, opening up the small armory of other guestsGÇÖ weapons for Josh to see.
GÇ£OhGǪ. Thank you,GÇ¥ said Josh, handing over his and AdenineGÇÖs pistols, firmly placing his face in his palm.
GÇ£ItGÇÖs ok,GÇ¥ said Adenine to the bouncer laughing hysterically. GÇ£IGÇÖll take care of him.GÇ¥
Josh used the elevator ride down to the VIP room to recoup and pull himself together.
GÇ£You owe me for this, Adi.GÇ¥
GÇ£I know, thank you. Just try to relax and have fun.GÇ¥
As the doors slid open, he saw many faces. None that he knew, of course, due to the fact that if he HAD seen them, they had a grey fetus face at the time.
Josh tapped on his glasses, activating a small camera in them. GÇ£Irina, whoGÇÖs here?GÇ¥
Irina activated her facial recognition software, cross-referencing the faces to pictures on the Net.
GǣIt seems there are four immortals here whom you have spoken to, one of which you encountered personally,Gǥ reported Irina. GǣNames you would recognize, True Adamance, Galm Fae, and Hunter Junko who recently suggested your last visit to a Thukker Caravan. The last is Jonny D Buelle, whom you encountered duringGǪ.Gǥ
GÇ£Thank you, Irina,GÇ¥ said Josh, cutting off Irina on the last person.
AdenineGÇÖs eyes opened. GÇ£Wait, Jonny? IsnGÇÖt he the one you met duringGǪGÇ¥
GǣYesGǪGǥ
GÇ£And didnGÇÖt he and his team captureGǪGÇ¥
GÇ£Yes!GÇ¥
GÇ£And didnGÇÖt his daughterGǪGÇ¥
GÇ£YES, ADENINE! YESSSSSSS! Now enough!GÇ¥ said Josh, visibly disturbed as he recalled what happened.
GÇ£Sorry. LetGÇÖs go get a drink.GÇ¥
The two made their way over to the bar where Galm was sitting with another female, whom he could only guess was his wife Niina.
Galm Fae wrote:"So... What would you have me tell the booze-droid my dear?"
Niina Fae wrote:"Have them bring me an Amarr Victor. And so help me ancestors, if it isn't mixed right I'm going to get behind that counter and make it my own gods damned self."
"I'll have the same," said Adenine to the droid, smiling at Niina.
"And give me a smooth Spiced Rum and Quafe please," said Josh. "Galm, oyin hova nahui uka. (Galm, its good to see you.) Adenine, this is Galm Fae and his wife Niina, if I am correct. We've never met in person, but we've had a few conversations in some chat rooms on the Net."
Josh extended his hand towards Galm

Galm Fae wrote:"Saisa," he replied cautiously, "I believe we have spoken in the past, yes. It's an honor to make your acquaintance this evening. You would be correct my friend this is my--"
GÇ£Actually it wasnGÇÖt Whiskey and Quafe, it was Spiced Rum and QuGǪGÇ¥ started Josh.
GÇ£Sir! I am highly versed in body language. Right now Niina is very aggravated, and disagreeing with a pissed off Caldari female would beGǪ unwiseGǪGÇ¥ Yelled Irina in Josh and AdenineGÇÖs headsets.
GǣUhmmGǪ You know what, strait Whiskey sounds just fine,Gǥ finished Josh with wide, semi-fearful eyes.
He shot a quick glance at Galm. GÇ£Oh dearGǪ IGÇÖve started somethingGǪ badGǪ I hope he forgives me for this somedayGǪGÇ¥ thought Josh.
GǣYeah, andGǪ uhmGǪ I could use something a little stronger than an Amarr Victor IGǪ uhmGǪ I suppose,Gǥ added Adenine.
GǣBut I insist, please let me buyGǪGǥ started Josh.
GÇ£SIR!GÇ¥ shouted Irina.
GǣIGǪ uhmGǪ I meanGǪ thank you for your generosityGǪGǥ said Josh, correcting himself.
If only Niina didnGÇÖt speak Napanii. Josh wanted to tell Galm how sorry he was. He had faced immortals on the battlefield, but not in this environment. He had very rarely ever been in a situation quite like this.
Thoughts rushed through JoshGÇÖs head. GÇ£Why the hell couldnGÇÖt they have taught us proper social skills in the academyGǪ Damn I could really use a stress relieverGǪ By the looks of it so can Galm. Perhaps I should offer to smash a Pixy Highball in his face for himGǪGÇ¥

Niina Eskola wrote:"Eh, hey Junko-haani?" she muttered over her shoulder loud enough for the immortal to hear, "Would it be okay if I used your bar for the evening?"
Kyoko wrote:"Yes you may, though i'd like to ask if you could keep it ...... you know, discreet Niina-haani" she said with a smile.
After Kyoko gave her the word, Josh watched as Niina went to work.
A young Intaki man made his was up to the bar.
"Oooo. My, my, what do we have here? I must admit, you're far better to look at than those service drones running about. Think you could make me a Wildheart? No honey. Just black, like those sexy tats of yours," said the young man with smug smile on his face.
Josh watched Niina picked up bottles like it was second nature, pouring the liquor with precision, almost as if she never retired from bartending.
As Josh was watching Niina make the drink, he turned to Galm, whom didn't look all that pleased.
"Oh SON of a B!TCH...... I better say something before Galm flips his lid..." thought Josh.
"Hey, don't even try, man. He's her husb... uhm... partn... *ehem*... they're together," replied Josh to the Intaki as he pointed at Galm.
"Oh? It sure doesn't look like it. What kind of man let's his woman make drinks for other men?" snorted the Intaki as he scowled at Josh and Galm.
Josh could only put his face in his palm in amazement at the young man's dumb-assedry. He made a deep sigh as he awaited what he could only imagine would be the wrath of Galm.

Niina Eskola wrote:"Now," she huffed with a sigh, "Can I get anyone else something?"
Josh looked up with a very pleasant shock. The look on the Intaki's face was priceless.
"Something else?! How about a coffin!" the young Intaki man, furious and in pain, yelled back in response.
"Planning on committing suicide, are we?" Josh replied back laughing.
"YOU MOTHERFU...." started the Intaki as he took a swing a Josh.
But before his fist could make contact with Josh's face, Adenine grabbed his arm out of the air and flung him to the ground. Before he could get up she kicked him in the nose. As she did it make a cracking sound as it broke.
"Guess you just aren't having much luck with the ladies tonight, are you?" she laughed.
As the Intaki headed towards the exit, nose gushing blood, he yelled, "You two should've kept your b-ítches on a tighter leash! The next time I see either of you on a battlefield I'll terminate your consciences faster than you can say 'Drifter on the starboard bow'!"
And with that the young man was gone.
"Well that was interesting to say the least," said Josh to the group. "As a matter of fact, Niina, I'll take a drink. Make me anything you see fit for this joyous occasion!"
Marcy wrote:She then turned to Robert Conway and said, "So, do you just flirt with the pretty girls, or anything with legs?"
"I think I spoke too soon..." said Josh.
The voice that spoke to him filled his head. Fear, hate, anger, pain... torture. These emotions all flooded him at once. One of the few voices he could put a name to without a face. Marcy.... His nose twitched. His brow furrowed. The edges of his lips curled down in a frown. He reached for his Ion Pistol only to remember the Bouncer had it. So before he turned around he clenched his fist.
"I most certainly wasn't flirting. But if I had to put you into one of those categories you sure as hell wouldn't be in the 'pretty girls' category," he said with a gruff tone.
"I'm sorry, but... do you two know each other?" asked Adenine.
"She isn't even WORTH introducing you to. You'd be better off NOT knowing her," replied Josh.
All he wanted to do was beat her face into a pulp and rip her eyes out. But what good would that do? For the life of him, Josh couldn't understand how Marcy got so much pleasure out of her OWN pain. The best he could do was put it under a 'win-win' situation. He would at least feel better at the look of her mangled body, and she would be enjoying the sick ecstasy of being destroyed like that. She was the only woman he even considered beating outside of the battlefield.
"What the HELL do you want, Marcy?!" Josh demanded.

Jonny D Buelle wrote:Marcy sipped her drink slowly. Then she smiled slightly and said "Mr. Conway, you know better than to be rude to me."
She then turned her head slowly to him and said, "Or I can show you why you should fear me." She started to giggled. "Oh what fun I will have, peeling the flesh from your body while you sit there all helpless. Oh I'm getting such a rush just thinking about it!"
Jonny slammed his fist hard on the table then rose to his feet. "Enough, Marcy! I think it is about time you leave and see to that f*cking traitor you call husband."
Marcy shot her father a dirty look, gave him a rude gesture then left, but not before whispering seductivly into Josh's ear: "Next time, Mr. Conway."
Jonny then walked up to Josh and said, "Apologies. She... Well she's a b*tch. But I am allowed to say it because she is my daughter." He then smiled a bit and added, "How about a couple drinks. Barkeep, two Beers and a bottle of whiskey. Oh and get Josh something too."
Josh's tension eased slightly. He was glad Marcy was gone, but he wasn't sure how to act around Jonny. The last time they met things became complicated rather quickly, but luckily it worked out in the end.
"Sorry if this offends you Jonny, but I'd have to agree with the b-ítch part, even if she isn't my daughter. I was planning on making my way over to you sooner or later, just didn't quite know how. Although I was hoping it wasn't because of her. She was one person I didn't want to be here. Besides, it looked like you were busy over there," said Josh as he nodded to Kyoko. "Didn't want to **** block you." He finished with a smile.
Josh felt a tap on his shoulder.
"So are you going to introduce me, or not?" asked Adenine.
"Oh... right. Jonny, this is my... well... sister of sorts. I guess you can say we adopted each other. Adenine, this is Jonny D. Buelle, of which I've told you the stories of. And yes, before you ask, that was the infamous Marcy I told you about.
"Nice to finally put a face to the story. It's a pleasure, Mr. Buelle," she said with a smile.
"And I'm sure you two have crossed paths before, but Galm, Jonny. Jonny, Galm. Oh, and the barkeep is actually Niina. Just... just thought you might want to know." He leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Just thought you might want to know, because the last gentleman who flirted with her got a nice hot cup of Wildheart in his crotch."
"So anyway, what was that all about, Jonny? You yelled at Marcy to go see that 'traitor you call husband'. If I recall correctly, the first and only other time we've met in person, Cale was still working with you. Did... did something happen?" asked Josh curiously.

Josh watched the small scuffle as Jonny separated Satja and Marcy. Something was just wrong with that girl. Everyone knew it. I think even Jonny knew it.
"Adi, stay here with Galm and Niina. I'll be right back." said Josh.
"What? But what if they don't want me here?" she protested.
"Niina just threw a boiling beverage in a strangers crotch. Do you think she would have a hard time telling you to fu-ók off if you were bugging the two of them?" exclaimed Josh with a smile.
Adenine shrugged and nodded in agreement as Josh picked up the two beers Jonny left behind and walked over to him.
"Damn, she must have really bothered you to leave your booze behind," he told Jonny, handing him his beers. "If you'll excuse me, I'll be right back."
He ran towards the elevator and headed up. As the doors opened at the top floor he saw Marcy grabbing the rest of her personal armory from the Bouncer.
He made a comment towards the Bouncer. "Next time I would frisk this one if I were you. She's not the most trust worthy."
Grabbing his Ion Pistol from the Bouncer, he followed Marcy out of the Caf+¬.
Once they were out of sight of the mortal civilian, he asked her, "So I just have to know. What did you have hidden in your jacket? That, and were you really going to kill Satja with it?"

((My dear Templar Adamance. We have gathered some of the brightest creative writers in New Eden. We can figure something out I'm sure. If you would like to meet her, i might suggest coming upstairs approximately 2 minutes after my "in story" self. Confront her over threatening Satja? If not, I'm sure you will get your chance to meet Jonny's sadistic love child sooner or later. Just an idea!  ))
