Colin and Hound joining the rest of the crew

💣 Love Bomb Piracy Front 💣

Wow, Colin and Hound have a lot in common with Alexis. Both remnants of a war that has left them behind, more so with Hound as you were both tools.

Looking forward to "getting this off the ground."

I bet our dudes could design some killer weapons together >:^3

"Can I pet your dog?"

@HeroicSociopath

"I don't know, Hound say hi." Hound looks away and licks his chops revealing his shiny smile, eventually he rises and strides over to Marco leaning his hip against his leg.

Me and the pup could stumble into your shop if we can get away from the love child of Beast and The Terminator that we seemed to have pissed off.

TC was sitting at a long table in a dark smoke filled hall. The table was adorned with bright red candles, food from every race and nation stretched before him. He felt confused, the last ting he remembered was taking a room at The Plastered Fly. I didn't drink that much! Did some greasy fuck slip me Mickey? That's when, he heard the scrape of a knife on porcelain. Next to him was The Greedfather, shoving a large cut of what seemed to be raw meet in his mouth. His mouth stretched to a bizarrely large size and the cut was gone. He smeared the myoglobin away from his mouth. His skin was red and green, like a man both sunburnt and seasick. Rams horns curling beside his face, smushing his rotund features. He wore a velvet smoking jacket stained with the food he had already devoured. He spoke with a clam voice, his voice was gerbled in jowls like his cheeks were filed with cotton balls, " Trajan Clarendon Bywater I ask of you to head south. towards Riverdale, for I have business for you to attend to there. You are wasting your talents and the gifts I have so graciously given you. Will you do this for me?" TC quickly bowed his head,"Yes, Greedfather." a moments pause as TC eyed the tables delicacies," may I, so humbly, ask what this job may entail?" "No, you may not, see to it that you leave with haste." " As you wish Greedfather."

TC shot up with a start, his pointer finger and pinky extended in the form needed to launch an Eldritch blast. He was along in his room at the Inn. He mumbled expletives to himself and gathered his things. He would need to steal a riding dog and head south as the Greedfather wished.

Oh man. Sounds like you guys could use a ship's engineer, and his trusty Dog sidekick. I would love to join if you would have Colin and Hound.

" Oi, we don't take up much room, just a hammock in the matrix engine room. Hound don't shed too too much. I'm keen with my tools and I believe I can make this hurling propane tank a wee bit less leaky. Anything to get back on that sea of stars."

Colin took a sip of the cold, tap water and noticed Hound wasn't lapping at his bowl as usual. He was still stoic and staring at the Sykrott, who was now making a his way towards him, striding with purpose on bionic limbs. Saints preserve us! Lucky man am I! We are on this planet for less then a day, and I've somehow pissed off the biggest Mother Hubbard in this Pub. Colin put is glass down slowly and stared at the bar. With his free hand he shifted his rucksack and felt his All Purpose Tool shift in the bag. Some good that will do, he is probably strapped to the gills and I'm brandishing a wee ball peen! Colin slid off the barstool, "Thank ye, barkeep." and clicked his tongue twice, that was all Hound needed to hop off the barstool and fall in step beside him. Colin, with Hound by his side, made a brisk pace for the door.

Hound hear Colin's summons and could tell what he was thinking. He could hear Colin's raised heart rate, could smell his sweat. He lept to his side and followed his lead. This Upright Beast had taken offense to us entering his territory and we were to take drink elsewhere. Hound didn't like that Colin was running, but he knew he was smart and had gotten them out of more dangerous positions before.

Hound smelled blood and fire walk into the bar. He watched as the heavily modified Sykrott, took his seat. Ears perked up and forward, Hound saw him as a predator and would keep ear and nose on him while he was near.

Colin noticed Hound tense up, and who had caused it. He had seen a Sykrott before, on Wiklow, a Belocorp merc. He smoothed down the hairs on Hound's neck and signaled the bartending droid over. He wasn't sure what functions this droid had access to. Was he just a bevservice unit? Or did he run the full gammut of barkeep, news, currency exchange, advice? "Barkeep, I'd like to know if you have heard of anyone seeking a ship's engineer or any mechanic openings?" The Nova Barkeep Unit designated "COACH", whirred and chimed " Listing accepted, I'll get back to you, can I get you anything,bud? The "bud" seemed so forced and sterile," Just two waters i guess, one in a bowl." He beeped in what Colin assumed was disgust.

Colin eyed the augmented Sykrott again and images of that merc came back to him. Backhanding a young girl who he thought was a Flotilla supporter. Colin moved his gaze away. He wanted to put Wiklow all those lightyears behind him.

Hey everyone, so a man and his dog walk into a bar...

" There. No one would give it a second look. What do you think?" Colin said turning to look at Hound who was patiently waiting behind him. Hound twitched an ear then looked over his shoulder at some far off noise. " Yeah that's what I thought." Colin had hidden his mismatched collection of tools, and the big red box they came in, inside the cracked wall of an abandoned overpass next to the Space Port. He covered the hole in the wall with scraps of metal and junk that were laying nearby. This hiding spot would have to do while the two looked for work. Wiklow was two jumps behind them, Colin and Hound were all the happier for it. Now, the next step of their grand plan was to find work on a ship, anything to keep moving. Colin would apprentice or be head engineer, as long as it was moving and they allowed dogs." Alright well, let's see to getting us fed." Colin set off to the topside of the overpass, Hound quickly snapped to attention and joined him in stride. But then, Hound stopped for a moment. " What's up?" Hound darted back to the metal, raised a leg and pissed on it." Good idea." Colin adjusted his rucksack on his shoulder and the two restarted their trek into the main urban hub of Frixiom Prime.

By Hound's nose, the two found their way to Nova. The bouncer or hostess, with some alien species it's hard to tell attractive from dangerous, stopped them at the threshold." No pets." it barked. Colin took a look inside " You've got what looks like an armadillo, licking the floor in there. He's no pet. Tell her hound." Hound barks out a low volume, quick bark, just flashing his titanium teeth. "Alright but we throw out any patron that pisses on the floor." Hound and Colin turn their noses up and head for the bar. Colin pulls out a stool for Hound, who quickly leaps onto it and sits, as he reaches into his pockets for his SHIPBUDDI. Now that he could access the network, he could post on some job sites for anyone looking for a ship engineer. Though it was a shot in the dark without experience and references. Just as he tapped post, Hound's ears perked up before an announcement came on the speakers.

"We regret to announce that, due to an attack on the planet of Furyk by an unknown force, travel between planets will banned until the purpetrators are captured. Compensation will be paid to those who..."

His heart sank as he reached out to scratch Hound's head, who licked his hand in return." Well Bud, that's gonna throw a wrench in our big plans."
