Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Akirapryde]

As the three pilots were in the mists of finishing their song, it was clear that these three were not professionals. The fact that they were slaughtering the song that they had chosen to sing only reinforced this fact. But that didn’t change the fact that they were having the time of their lives up on that stage. A pair of them were arm and arm as all three were singing their hearts out to a song that predated man’s colonization of the stars.

Near the end of the song, a group of four walked in to the lounge from a side entrance. There was a male in the lead who was heavily armed with a short barreled submachine gun that resembled a P-90. He wore an all-black uniform with combat harness. Directly behind him followed a young female. She wore a simple yet expensive white dress. Behind the first female was a male/female pair moving along the rear flank of the female. It was clear that they were moving in a protection formation of the young female in the middle. The two females in the group both wore simple hijabs.

For Jake, it was the woman in the middle that caught his eye. She was clearly of mixed ethnic origins. From the best he could tell, she was late teens or maybe early twenties. Her slightly browned skill revealed a woman used to the finer things in life. While her eyes betrayed a woman of innocents. Jake couldn’t help but noticed that when she walked in to the room, her appearance seemed to command the attention of everyone. Her confidence was transparent by the way she walked.

While Jake was watching the girl, Eric’s eyes were on the man in front. As the group walked in to the room, he scanned the room like a true professional. A strange behavior for someone who was traveling on their own ship. Eric noticed that the man’s eyes fell directly upon him. In that moment their eyes met as Eric saw the distrust in the man’s eyes. He made a half turn keeping Eric and his party still in eye sight. The man placed a hand on the girl’s shoulder and shook his head. He spoke something but the background noise prevented him from making out the words.

Not willing to be denied, the girl brushed off the hand as she replied with a bit of anger in her eyes. She wanted to be here and her own bodyguards were not going to deny her. Even in this behavior, something could be gained from it. She was not used to having this level of protection around her. While she too saw the party siting at their table, she didn’t consider them the threat that her bodyguards did. Or she simply didn’t care.

Behind her, Adrien saw the two guards bring up the rear. The two in the rear wore the same type of clothing that first man was wearing. The woman in the rear was armed with a P-90 style weapon with a side arm. In her belt was an all metal hand ax in the shape of a hatchet. The man next to her wore no obvious weapons. While the scene was playing out right in front of them, the pair in the back were watching the room carefully for any sudden movements.
