The Endless Struggle

Virathus paced a bit, antsy to get on the ground and half tempted to jump out the airlock to get there. "Klith was a Master of Eyes, he doesn't if you are captured or not if you don't hold any value. Given that you are a bounty hunter, he couldn't care less if you came to him missing your head."

The Endless Struggle

Virathus didn't even have to ponder the possibilities, "I'll never be seen on the planet. My systems allow me to run silent. Do what you will, but I'll hunt the bastard down. Try to not be afraid." His armor was packed with a cloaking system that allowed him to phase out of visible range. Given the thick jungle, he would be a ghost in a land of invisibility. Though if Klith had half a brain he'd have sensors to look for Litharian cloaking. So hopefully the Wolkar could have the ability to draw sensors to himself.

The Endless Struggle

Virathus pondered on the threat that was Klith, realizing that while he didn't trust Rennac, Klith did need to be eliminated. Though Rennac was right, "I am ordered to bring him in alive." Klith may be a great threat, but orders are orders. Virathus walked back to the cockpit to see where they were going to land. Up here they wouldn't be catching Klith and tha junlge looked enticing. It's been far to long since he'd been in a good and proper hunt.

The Endless Struggle

"Karasis is a shining pillar of honor and I won't have you insulting him anymore!" Virathus snapped at the Wolkar. It was true Karasis was a bit head strong and overly-vocal, but that doesn't mean he isn't a man of pure honor. When Rennac asked about Klith he visibly got a change of face. "Klith isn't a threat to the Litharians, he was the Master of Eyes. He knew enough about Litharians, but it would be more of a threat had the Master of Structure or War gone rouge. He is a threat to ever other known race in the galaxy."

The Endless Struggle

Virathus listened to Rennac, about to punch him again when he spoke of how his entire race didn't know trust or honor. They were the embodiment of honor and a bounty who would rather put a gun to their partner's head had no place to judge anyone. When Rennac handed him the codes to... well... Rennac, he gave him a queer look. The man insults him and then hands over the codes that could kill him, he was either extremely stupid with a death wish or actually trying to win him back over, in a very, very strange way. Then right back to the insults. This Wolkar was a strange, strange man. "You think I knew what was on the other side of that hole? I received my orders and they said to leave it. To claim that I'm without trust and honor is a lie when all I've been doing is trusting my commanding officer and honoring my race's codes. You really want to make this up to me? This is a just start." He finished holding up teh codes that Rennac had given him.

The Endless Game

The Litharian scientists took note that while the creature may be able to understand them, it was truly hateful towards them. The scientists quit trying to be nice about contact and elect for more aggressive measures. On two of the tank's sides the walls slid open to reveal a pair of mechanical clamps each one snapped a few times before hovering over the specimen, threatening to restrain it. Back outside of the tank the scientists began flicking switches and levels readying something. Though whatever it was wasn't made a abundantly clear just yet.

The Endless Struggle

With all of his gear in hand Virathus walked back towards the cockpit, not yet entering should Rennac try once more to kill him before thinking straight. One little detail Rennac had forgotten, "He said that he could see you, so feel free to shoot the bulkhead as much as you want, he'd still know I was sitting in the pilot's chair. That is why I gestured for you to come into the damn cockpit. I asked you to trust me and you put a gun to the back on my head." He turned about face and walked over to the airlock door, "Just set us down somewhere."

The Endless Struggle

Virathus was far from ready to just forgive Rennac, "I'd like to think honor and loyalty didn't instantly put a gun to my head. What if it was Klith? And he was trying to get us to do his job for him? You would have killed me despite our days travelling together thanks to your paranoia." He started walking pasted Rennac to get to the bunks and then his gear. If they were going to be dealing with assassins and agents of a traitor, best be armed to the best you can be. Grabbing his rifle, pistols and their respective BURSTs, a few STILETTOs, A fresh KINDLE cartridge, the PRISM Unit, and SCYTHE.

The Endless Struggle

The INTCOM system was silent for a few moments after Rennac had finished talking, only to come on with the same changed voice, "The day I start being tracked by basic trace and record patterns is the day I retire. Every day is a challenge to let no one know you are on to them. Even if the ones who would know you are watching are the people you serve." Virathus was still quiet pissed at Rennac, but he did drop his fighting stance, though the angry eyes didn't vanish in the same manner. "Sir with al due respect, you wanted to speak with me?" "Yes of course. Klith knows you are coming. We can only assume he has set a sort of trap on this world. Be ready and be careful. Should I find any more information I shall contact you through this line." The Master of Eyes said, and almost instantly after finishing the line was dropped.

The Endless Game

The Litharians around the creature noticed it seem to become less panicked and more agitated, electing to skip the rest of the vocal communication and more on to physical. One Scientists is particular stepped up to the tank, making his presence known to the alien inside. Then he began to make a system of gestures, first gesturing to his head, trying to hint that he is capable of intelligent thought.
