(7.13) A Rose by any other name..... (Part Two)
Night Club, Mich
Southern City of Sish'Quish
Colonies World of Byssi
July 23rd 1938


Encode Mission Update for Upload
Recipients: Captain Jaastal Zur, Captain Marrab, Lut Sha, Makaw Y'drit


Already Ladies, The Sitter is in position. Comm Check!
Vics is in position within the club, by the fire place. I do not have eyes on the baby. No sight of targets either.
Reosh is in the pipe, five by five. I have clear sight on the baby. We are moving north east towards the club on foot. No sight of the targets
Reosh, I have you in my sights, you are following too close. Fall back about ten more meters. Give the baby some space. I have sight on the baby as well. That is not the outfit that we agreed on. Reosh?
Understood, falling back ten meters. Oh, sure blame me. Vics gave the idea about the damn bells. I was not about to argue with her again.

The City of Sish'Quish had always been the culture heart of Byssi. Long before the Free Worlds Council took shape, Sish'Quish was the destination for thousands of artists and musicians. With the fall of the Free Worlds Council and the Reich Occupation, the City has actually exploded with a flood of Core World visitors looking to expand their own knowledge and share their wisdom. Even though the Reich's 101st Infantry Division was stationed just outside of the city limits, this has not stopped both Core World visitors and others from coming to the city. Every once in a while, the heartbeat of the city is brought to a pause by conflict between the 101st and local rebel forces. The treaty fostered by Senator Xan and the Reich Governor of Byssi still holds. But tensions are still very high between locals and occupiers. Though, one could never tell this by using Sish'Quish as the standard. Walking its narrow streets and passing through its open air markets, one could never tell that there ever was a war on Byssi. This is thanks to the wisdom of the Commander of the 101st. He worked out a deal with the local authorities which allowed them to police their own limits. As long as peace was maintained, they would remain outside of the city limits. A concept that seems to have spared Sish'Quish the harsh destruction that much of the planet has seen already.

Another benefit to this arrangement was the influx of new business to Sish'Quish. One such new arrival was the Club Mich, owned and operated by Steve "Sic" Evans van der Harten, more commonly known as Sic. Sic had opened his club in hopes of bringing Core World culture to Byssi and to the heartland of the FWC. This was no easy task for Sic as he was already on a special watch list due to his political views and social activism. Despite his negative record back in the Reich, Sic was also very popular among the youth and young adults due to his musical talents. When he arrived on Byssi four months ago with plans to open up a club, he was visited by several members of the Secret Police. Thanks to his contacts within the Estates General, he was allowed special permission to open his club as long as he didn't violate any laws. Getting the Club to officially open was even more difficult than getting the special permission. The local authorities didn't wish to risk their special relationship with the 101st due to Sic's actions. For weeks they blocked his attempts to build his club. Finally, he was able to convince all of his critics that sharing the Core Worlds Heritage with the people of the galaxy had its own rewards. Finally he was able to build his club, and in July the building was finally done with the grand opening taking place this night.

To celebrate the Grand Opening of his club, Sic invited his own band, Omnia to perform live before a packed crowd. With hundreds of guests, the night was all that Sic had wanted. Even members of the 101st were in the club enjoying sounds from home. There were even large numbers of locals that came to the club. During the time Sic was fighting with the locals to get permission to build his club, he made a number of strong contacts within the local underground and in the black market. Sic had no illusions, he knew that there were secret police patrolling his new club. Due to this he paid his new friends a heavy price to ensure that the secret police would have no reason to close his club down. With the club packed to near capacity, Sic knew his club would be a success. A number of Reich groups were going on and coming of the large stage to the roar of the crowds. The local Reich soldiers loved the music as well as the locals. He and his band took the stage next and it was time to step up the message. It was something that the band had spoken about yesterday. They started their set with a powerful song called En avant blonde. This song was written by one of the strongest voices for change in the Reich. A song writer so feared by the Reich that he was murdered and his music was forbidden to be played within the Reich.

(Narrator Note: Sit back and listen to this video to set the mood for the rest of the intermission. This is only the beginning of their set)


I have eyes on the Baby. She is moving across the dance floor and oh my god. I did not know she could bent backwards like.

Hey, Captain, your girl is really flexible!

Keep the channel clear you two. Get your head in the game guys.

As they performed, Omnia was no stranger to controversy. They made it a habit to speak out against what they felt was wrong within the Reich. With only their popularity protecting them from retaliation from the Government. Tonight was no different as they introduced themselves to the world of Byssi and played a song that had not been played in Reich space for nearly a hundred years. With the crowd worked up by the surprise and uplifting song, Omnia continued to fire up their message to their audience who ate it up. If any of the Reich soldiers found the music to be not to their tastes, none of them showed it as they screamed with the rest of the club for more. Omnia continued to play more forbidden songs that could have landed them in jail by this point back in Reich space. A fact that set just fine with each band member. As their set started to come to an end, Sic and Omnia had one more surprise for the club patrons. But they needed time to set up for it. To slow things down and expose the guest to another forbidden taste of Reich Culture, they performed a piece which was modified to fit their own style. They took a poem written just after the Great Liberation of the Reich by an out spoken activist. The Poem set the stage for what was coming next and spoke of a demon bird taunting a man.

Target! I have the nine of clubs walking in from stage left. Looks like he is packing heat under his jacket.

I have the Jack of Hearts and the Queen of Diamonds walking in the front door. Both are armed.

understood, be advised I have both the Ace of Clubs and the Ace of Hearts out front. It does not look like they are going to enter.

While the poem turned song was underway. Sic's stage crew went to work on the large dance floor in the middle of the stage. While the floor was cleared, a large black cauldron was moved in to the center. The cauldron was so large that it could easily double as a large hot tub for those who wished. Almost half of the humans knew what song was coming. Written during the great liberation war to make a mockery of the Galactic Church's claims that the Reich was filled with nothing more than Witches, Heathens, and Pagans. During the war, the song helped ease the pains of so many slaves being excommunicated by the church only for seeking freedom. When the war ended, the song was lost to history. It was discovered just over seventy years ago and struck a cord with the hearts and minds of the youth and young adults within the Reich. Due to its age, the actual title of the song has been lost, it is only known as Witch's Brew. And it has taken on a life of its own with its own dance to accompany it.

The Song became nearly a mainstay for a movement within the Reich. It screamed out to leaders of all levels by the youth and young adults demanding change. What many leaders had thought would be a short live movement, became a massive cultural rebellion for the disenfranchised youth and young. It was even rumored that this single song changed the course of the Emperor himself and even saw real changes coming to the Reich. That was before the war came to the Reich. That was before their Empresses was taken from them. Now the song has once more been called to stand before the faces of leaders and critics alike. As people started to gather around the cauldron, it was clear that only those that knew the dance dared to attempt it. Those who were not taking part of the dance backed up and made room. It was clear that the non-human guests had no idea what to expect. Some even showed visible signs of concern as they saw symbols on the dancers which the Church label as evil. Though none turned to leave, the mystery of the song and the excitement by the humans drew even a few non-humans to drew ever closer.

(Narrator Notes: Set the Mood and enjoy this song next as the Dance Floor is set up. Imagine the humans gathering around the large black cauldron while the non-human watch the set up)


As the poem/song continued to play, Rose walked across the floor. With each step her ankles rang out as the twin bands of bells giggled. Her light purple skirt which hung down to the floor flowed about her legs as she walked. There were hand sawed metal disks across the skirt that reflected the light as she continued to walk. Her light gray shirt had a some kind of ornate red designed sawed in to it. The center front of her shirt had been pulled up over her chest and pulled back down between her chest and the shirt. This caused the shirt to expose her belly but still covered her firmed thirty six, C cups. Her hips swayed from side to side with each new step as she worked herself towards the dance floor. Her hands took her long red hair as she rolled it in to a tight bun. She used some kind of wooden hair pin to secure her hair.

As her arms pulled upward on her shirt, it exposed a medium tattoo in the small of her back. There were three symbols laid out to form a triangle. The bottom two symbols were of potential and knowledge. At the top of the three symbols was the one that stood for evolution. In the center of the symbols was a eye looking ever forward. Rose walked passed a woman who stopped Rose for a quick hug. On Rose's right shoulder blade was a very deceptive tattoo of a pentacle. There was much more than the mission as to why Rose fit in to this world. The woman who gave Rose the hug was dressed similar to her and shared similar tattoos as well. Rose shared more with them than with anyone else in the entire Galaxy. Rose felt at home among these people. As she continued to walk the floor bare foot, Rose held a level of confidence that only a woman of nobility would hold. There was a sense of peace over Rose's heart which she wore for all to see. Here she was accepted, and why not, she was after all the Countess Sanna Dystra from Vandor.

My god Captain, your girl is one hot piece of tail. My target has been joined by the ten of spades. I am not sure if she is armed or not.

understood, on both counts. Keep eyes on those targets. I want to know as soon as they attempt to make contact with the baby.

The poem song was coming to an end and it was time for the dance to begin. Rose knew she had two choices. Not take part and been seen by those around as someone who was not part of this underground movement. She knew that this could cause her problems in the future. Not that she couldn't over come them, She could easily play off why a Countess from Vandor would not be part os such a movement. Still, the less her problems the easier her mission would be now and in the future. The only other opinion was to take part in the dance. This will allow her a image from those within here which would take her years if not decades to build. She had already worked closely with a few of them and had a reasonable relationship with some of them. If she could pull this off and impress Sic, than she would be able to use this experience to build a lasting contact with him. Something that she had badly wanted to do since she heard he had come to this world. Having a contact like Sic could open up missions in to the Reich itself. And that opened up the party for a new level of possible goals. Something Rose was willing to give them.

She had seen the dance performed before on a holorecording while doing her research on Sic. He and his lover were experts in the dance. She had studied the dance and found the steps of it were pretty easy to understand and follow. The beat was a bit challenging as it sped up and slowed down during it. There were also points were the beat almost exploded and the dancers were expected to keep up. Physically, Rose knew she could do the dance with little trouble. For this, there was no doubt in her mind. It was the other parts of the dance that she had doubts over. She had to know the words, when each word was coming and know how that word played in to her actions within the dance. During the trip here, she had vested more time in studying the dance and song. While this was going to be the first time she attempted the dance, she had to convince those watching that she had been trained from birth to do the dance. This moment had been set up as a secondary objective that she alone created. She knew that the Marine babysitters would not understand the need to create a new contact in Sic. She left them in the dark as she plotted out how to get herself here tonight. Luckily for her, she didn't have to do anything. It was her normal contact that made this night possible.

Be advised, The Ace of Spades has made contact with the Ten of clubs. A piece of paper was passed. It looks like the Ten of Clubs will be the messenger. Do not intercept unless given the signal by the Baby.

understood

understood

She had not been able to make contact with Joff, her normal contact on this world. It was the first thing that she did when she arrived. She did everything possible to make contact with him but he was avoiding her. She heard from the streets that he was still on world and still trafficking information. She had ensured that he knew she was in the market for some detailed information. She also made it clear through his foot soldiers that she had top credits for this information. She didn't blame the guy for avoiding her. After all, he and three of his goons were the ones that had assaulted her the last time she was here. No matter how much she wanted him dead, she needed the information he held. Sha needed this information if they were to rescue Xan's sister. Regardless of what happened last time she was here, she would get that information. Rose made a promise that she would not leave this world without that information.

With the floor well in the process of being set up, small bands of humans started to gather around the cauldron. They started to spread out around the cauldron as they joke and carry on playfully as they wait for the song to begin. Each spaced themselves out around the cauldron in a male, female, male, female pattern. Strange items were brought and laid out around the cauldron at equal distance apart. A stage hand with a torch led out a large plate filled with coal. The plate was placed next to the cauldron between the dancers as the cut off their movement from side to side. A fire was lit under the cauldron and on the large plate of coals. The fires were kept low by the control of fuel as the last dancers took up their places. Sic took Jenny by the hand and led her from the stage as they walked to the cauldron. The lights in the area flashed as the drums sounded off as they were beat signaling the coming storm in the distance. The speakers started to echo the coming storm as the wind started to howl. Sic and Jenny walked up to the cauldron and exchanged hugs with some of the dancers. Then they took up their places along the cauldron with the rest of the dancers. Rose waited till Jenny and Sic had taken up their places to take up hers. She made sure that she was directly across from Jenny. This would give her a good sight of both and both of them good sight of her.

The singer is pretty hot also. Love that long red hair of her's

Nah, the baby still takes her. Hands down

The rest of the band took their places as they got ready for the song to begin. Rose noted each of the dancers were all human but the non-humans were paying very close attention to the coming dance. To her left stood a male soldier. Based on his uniform, he was a robot pilot. To her right stood a male nurse. On the nurse's neck, Rose noticed a pentacle. As she was looked at his tattoo, he noticed hers. The two smiled at one an other. It actually made Rose feel more comfortable with what she was about to do knowing that she really did belong. This was not just part of her mission to gain an in road in to the Reich underbelly. With the last of the preparations done, the sounds started to fade. All Rose could hear was the pounding of her heart and the bells at her feet. 'This is it. No matter what, Rose you can do this. Have faith in yourself again' she attempted to reassure herself as the band motioned that they were beginning.

I have eye on the ten of clubs.

Where? I don't see him.

Walking along the back wall. Doesn't look like he will be making contact till after the song.

Okay I have him. It looks like the Queen of Diamonds doesn't like human music. Sitter, she is heading out the front.

It was Mich, the drummer, who started off the song, “Thrice the brinded cat has mewed!”

Then another band member called out to the dancers. "Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined!"

Rose knew that the last line would mark the beginning of the dance. 'Its now or never' she thought as she let go all fears and embraced the moment. A calm fell over Rose as she knew she could do this. The last line echoed across the floor as the storm started to build “Harpy cries: 'tis time! 'tis time!”. The lights were all dashed as a single spotlight filled the area above the dance floor acting as a full moon. A pair of last minute girls joined the line, one giggled as they took their place. Sic and Jenny started the song as everyone else joined along with them. “Round about the cauldron go,” Rose's test just begun.

The dancers started working around the cauldron in their rhythmic fashion. Each of the dancers sung loudly enough so that on looker could hear the words clearly “in the poisoned entrails throw”. With the first lines sung, some dancers were able to pick up the strange ingredients laying around the cauldron and tossed it in. The others continued to dance as the music filled the air. The cauldron started to bubble as white smoke started to flow from over the edges of it. Other smoke generators around the area started to add to the scene by filling the floor with white smoke. As rose approached the plate filled with coals and ambers she watched the dancers ahead of her leap across them with style and grace. Rose didn't want to push herself just yet so she mirrored their actions as she leaped across the fiery obstacle. Her skills in dancing was not great but her passion for the song and the moment helped push her own performance that much higher. Rose was many things but tonight her passion allowed everyone to see her heart as she worked her way around the cauldron once more. Rose give unto herself in to the dance which only adding more style and allowed herself to stand out even better. She was already starting to gather the attention of many observers.

It was in the timing and ability to know where you were which made this song so difficult. Each time a ingredient was called out, as the next line. “Skin of toad and spike of bone,” the dancers had to know if it was their turn to add to the cauldron. This added more dimensions to the song and dance. Luckily for Rose she was not within reach of any of the ingredients when they were called. She truly didn't think she could pull off both actions without messing up her attempt at the dance. Still Rose sung loudly with the rest of the dancers, “sharpened on an eagle stone” as they all danced around the cauldron. Some dancers were taking high leaps others were spinning and howling like banshees. Rose watched Jenny go over the ambers with a side slip that gave her an almost angelic appearance. Rose knew in that moment she had to impress Jenny as well as Sic. Rose started to plot as she danced ever closer to the ambers once more. Closer the ambers came as the dancers continued to mover around the Cauldron. Rose thought she had a good plan for crossing of the ambers. She had seen it in a video, and knew that it would work to serve her purpose. However a misplaced foot fouled her planned move and only allowed her to spring across the ambers slightly better than the rest.

Oh damnit, she almost had it.

Come girl, you can do this.

I have eyes on the Queen of Diamonds. She and the Ace of Hearts are leaving the area to the east.

Understood

Understood

Without any warning, the music came to a sudden stop as the dancers fell to their knees facing their cauldron. They bent down as if to worship the dark vile mixture in the cauldron. The storm now much closer as the drummer banged out the thunder and the lights flashed over head. Slowly the music returned as the dancers raised and lowered their bodies on their knees. They sung to the cauldron, “Double double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble, Double double trouble you, Bubble in a witches' brew” They waved their hands upward as if their own bodies were the very flames of the fire. The dancers, from their knees waved their arms and beckoned the flames higher as they sang to the cauldron. “Double double toil and trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble, Double double trouble you, Bubble in a witches' brew” Slowly the fires of the cauldron grew higher and higher as the smoke around the area grew thicker. Then as the drummer hammers the drum and lights flash signaling the storm at its peak, the dancers once more explode up from their knees as the next set of lyrics calls them around the cauldron once more. “Round about the cauldron go” the dancers took off once more as some took to high leaps in to the high. Once more they repeated the same lyrics from the first part of the song but the pace was much faster.

Think she will try that leap again?

I think so. Come on, you can do it.

As the beat picks up, the dancers moved in their seductive danced calling on the flames with their bodies while they continue to add the ingredients to the brew. Faster and faster their movements are demanded by the beat of the drum. Rose saw the ambers once more closing on her. Once more she attempted her flip. She made sure that her feet were placed perfectly this time as she vaulted herself in to the air and rolled on to her back over the Ambers. She rolled her head back and saw Jenny's eyes on her as she soared through the air. She cleared the leap with the appearance of ease as she started to land. Rose felt the weight of the galaxy wash from her in that moment nothing ever felt more liberating for her in this very moment. She continued her flip as she brought her legs back towards the ground. As she landed she felt the pain rip through her body as she could feel and hear the crunching sound of her ankle giving way under the poor foot placement. Rose might be an excellent spy, but she was not a professional dancer. Her desires and passion had pushed her body past its very limits and past her own skills.

Oh damn!

Hey Sitter, stand by we may have to call the mission. Baby just twisted her ankle

Damnit, what is she thinking. I told her to play it safe! What's going on?

She stumbled a bit as the pain crashed over her like some massive internal wave. Rose saw Jenny watching her, 'did she noticed the mistake?' Rose feared. Rose closed her eyes and by sheer force of will, she pushed the pain back to the darker places of her mind. 'Hold on to the moment, Rose. You can do this' Rose once more reassured herself. She refused to give in to the pain as she continued her dance with the others. She had hardly missed a beat and quickly recovered from the mistake, despite the pain surging from her now twisted ankle. Rose didn't let the pain slow her or hamper her ability to sing out the last of the lyrics. She followed the lines of the song word for word with out any further mistakes. The beat continued to speed up as the song played out. The last lyrics were song as the special effects storm raged over head. The drummer hammered the drums so hard that many thought they would break. The beat continued to increase as the dancers continued to dance with more elaborate moves and leaps in to the air. The lights flashed as wolves called out from the massive speakers.

She is not falling out of the dance. I am not sure what she is doing.

She is going to try the leap again. Got to love her lust for punishment but hate to be her doctor.

Keep an eye open. This could get ugly fast. Watch those targets and the messenger.

Over head, shadowy spectors started to circle as if to answer the desires of the dancers. Those watching the show from the sidelines seemed to watch as if they were locked in a trance set by the dancers themselves. Harpies from beyond this realm called out through the speakers with their laughter as the dancers continued to dance around the cauldron. Mich beat his drums calling for more and more speed in the beat as his sweat flew from his arms. Still the beat increased as the dancers crafted their way around the couldren. And once more Rose started to come up to the ambers once more. Her ankle screamed in protest to the punishing dance. Her will held its ground as Rose once more lined up for the flip. 'This time, I will get it prefectly' she promised herself. As the beat reached its peak, and the chaos of the storm raged above the floor, Rose sored through the air as if she had been meant to fly from birth. Her sideways back flip over the ambers was as prefect as any professional teacher would expect from their prize student. Just as if Rose had planned it this way, the music stopped just as she landed. Her arms streched out for balance her eyes fixed on Jenny's. Rose fought for breath as the crowds went wild with joy over what they just watched.

SHE DID IT!

Oh wow Captain, you have to see the video of that. Simply amazing.

Hold, The message was just delivered. I am getting the signal that she has the message

Okay hold your positions. Lets see what the baby wants to do next.



With Omnia's set over, Rose walked up to the bar with a slight limp. The man at the bar had been watching her since she walked in to the place. She knew him well, it was Staff Sergent Reosh from the Marauder. “I never noticed those tattoos before. What do they mean?” he asked her softly under the music of the next band.

It was Jenny who answer as she walked up from behind them, “Silly man” she said playfully, “They mean that by her relaying on what she knows and understanding her own abilities, that she would see her own improvements.” Jenny smiled, “Evolution over Knowledge and Potential?” Jenny questioned as she slipped in between Rose and Sergent Reosh, “Am I right?” she asked softly just over the background music as Rose nodded, “I have a message from Sic, you can dance with us any time Lady Dystra.” Jenny moved in and gave Rose a kiss on the cheek, “We are meeting after this band's performance for drinks. Join us” Jenny paused to look in to Rose's eyes, “please.”

Rose smiled at the kiss and saw that Sergent Reosh looked jealous, “I would love to but I have plans that I can not miss.” The disappointment on Jenny's face was clear, Rose added, “What do you think of breakfast?”

Jenny returned the smile, “Breakfast it is then. Till then, sister, walk in the light of the full moon”

Rose nodded and replied, “Thank you sister, we all shall enjoy the full moon till the coming of the waning moon.”

Jenny nodded once more and turned as she walked away. Rose turned to Sergent Reosh who just shook his head, “Thats it, I am going on more of these missions with you.” He said half playing and half looking around. “So what plans do we have?”

“Our offer has been accepted” Rose said as she pulled a piece of paper from her shirt, “I am meeting Joff by the water front in two hours” She explained while passing him the paper as she reached for a drink.

Great news, find out which of you two will be going with her so we can set up the over watch.

Reosh nodded, “The sitter wants to know which one of us will you be taking.”

Rose shook her head, “none. I have to do this alone.”

Absolutely NOT! You tell her that this is it. IT is way too dangerous for her to go forward alone.

Reosh looked worried, “The sitter doesn't like this plan. Its too dangerous.”

“Listen, I know Joff. He wont carry what he need on him. If he thinks its a set up, we get nothing even if you kill him.” Rose explained. “This guy is a snake, but one that I can handle.” It was her turn to look around. She knew that Joff have people in the club so she didn't want to be seen talking to Reosh. “Look you guys are just going to have to trust me on this one.”

NO, tell her I don't care what she thinks she has to do. We saw that the Ace of Spades did to those Reich Officers. Sorry but no. She will take one of you.

Reosh nodded as he got up from his stole on the bar. “The sitter still doesn't like this plan. But he will move and set up an over watch position.”

Reosh, I swear you will be on the shit list for years. You don't let her go on this alone!....Reosh!”

He turned to leave, “You might want to get that looked at before the meeting” he said motioning to her angle which is starting to grow in size. He turned to walk away as he made his way through the crowds. Sitter, she is going to do this her way no matter what we say. I saw that look in her eyes. She has this. Lets trust her.
