Oh,you again.
::The tone in her voice is almost one of relief at seeing the little-cloaked figure again.::
Hopefully, maybe, you'll be useful and give me some clues later on.
::She leans against the wall,deep in thought.::
Vector,huh?That'll be interesting. And it's quite hard not to doubt all of this...

Chaos woke up on the floor in the corner of the conference room. Seeing everyone around him he blinks.
" Hey whats going on guys? Did I miss something?"
He thought for a second.
" I had the strangest dream...That old guy...Doc I think his name is came in and told us the other group was on a suicide mission and we were goig to Vector..."

"Sorry to say Chaos." Jas said. "But that wasn't a dream. We're heading to Vector now so I suggest getting yourself prepaired cause when we get there, expect a welcoming party."

" Oh...well then."
He stood up and patted his clothes off and wiped his eyes.
" Alright, time to get ready."
He checked his swords and sheathed again then started to stretch a bit.
" Alright I'm ready..."

Edwin chuckled, "We all seem to have so little faith in the other group... If they weren't skilled mercenaries able to defend themselves, then they would have to be purely stupid to volunteer for a resistance group in the first place. My bet is with the former."
Edwin organized his bag and stood up.
"I'm going to find a vacant area on this ship. I'll be preparing potions and readying my inventory. Someone tell me when we're about to arrive at Vector. ... Or if you're mearly curious as to what I'm doing."
Edwin left the conference room and found an empty room at the end of the cooridor, leading out to the main hull of the ship. He set up his portable lab and began tinkering.

::Rainii had nothing to add, so she quietly slips out of the room,to wander the ship. She wondered how long it would take to reach Vector--and what would happen when they did. What were they walking into?
The whole situation didn't sit well with her. Nobody was really talking,which would cause a problem if--when--they had to rely on each other. But maybe it was none of her buisness,maybe it'd all work out in the heat and rush of things.
Rainii finds a window,big enough to see the view clearly.She spends a few minutes,staring blankly as the scenery below rushes by.
They'd reach Vector soon,that much she knew.::

Chaos laughed hearing what Edwin said.
" It's not that I dont think they havea chance it's just that like Doc said they were the distraction, and if all goes as planned most of the Empire's forces will be there and with as few of them as there are I dont think they stand much of a chance against a whole army."

Clerian spent his time alone, walking up and down an isolated passageway of the ship. He didn't like the fact that their team was just a distraction. He was meant for more than that. Distractions were for weaker members of the team who would be better off supporting the main fighters. Clerian was definitely not the distraction type.
So, to take his mind off of the disappointment, he remained in his solitude...thinking.
"An Empire..." he thought to himself, "Besides their superior firepower, their unity is their biggest strength. They're one huge Empire spanning worlds while we're just a bunch of strangers loosely tied together against them. They have more advantages than I think this 'alliance' gives them credit for."
Running his gloved fingers over the handle of his gunblade, he remarks, "Not a bad idea on their part."

"Well, I'll be training if anyone needs me. Just let me know when we get there." *Walks off and walks past Clerian, their eyes meeting for a second before Jas continues walking*

Edwin approached the window where Rainii stood staring outward. He joined her in her gaze.
"I finished my preperations faster than I thought I would so I thought I'd just find a place to watch our approach." He hesitated, then said, "So... I forget if you've mentioned it before... But what brought you here?" Edwin was oddly reserved. Not a mood he took often. He rephrased, "Why do you fight the Empire?"

::Rainii looks at Edwin. Oddly enough, she hadn't been asked why she was doing this--and now that she was confronted with the question, she wasn't quite sure of the answer.::
"I fight..."
::A myriad of reasons flash across her mind, and she has a hard time pinning down even one.::
"...to protect my city,for those who will be swept up in this against their will,because fighting all that is bad in this world has somehow become my profession."
::She smiles at Edwin.::
"And, my selfish reason, which is to prove to myself that maybe I can do this without them, although I wish I didn't have to."
::Rainii turns her gaze back to the window.::
"Why is it that you're here?"

:: Julie sits alone, for once too deep in her own thoughts to worry about Rainii. Her mother would probably have understood all this resistance organization stuff better than she did. All she knew was what she was taught -- she had no experience like Alyene or Laguna. Even Rainii seemed almost used to this kind of thing. ::
:: Julie catches that thought, and reminds herself not to get too caught up in comparing herself with her sister. Maybe she never would get used to fighting. But if she was going to find out, she wanted to find out for herself. Feeling a little less introspective after that realization, she wanders out into the corridors of the airship - she could still explore her surroundings a little bit, and maybe she'll have a chance to get to know some of her allies better. ::

As the stranger passes Clerian, the glances were exchanged. The momentary interaction, even though it was silent, broke the ex-SeeD from his meditative pacing. It reminded him that he wasn't alone and that he was still on the inside of a cargo ship.
The stranger was in and out in a second, though, so Clerian was left to himself yet again. Sighing, he took off his long jacket and slid his back down the cold metal wall, sitting himself on the hard floor.
"What am I doing here?" he asked himself. The question was rhetorical, of course, because if he didn't know the answer - no one could.
With that thought in mind, Clerian closed his dark blue eyes and sat still in the hallway.

(OOC- Sorry about the stalling guys...now the fun begins soon!)
:A speaker crackles over the intercom at the exact same moment the ship begins rocking:
"We're clearing through the Southern Continent's shorelines, just hang out, we're going to be landing shortly."

(OOC--I'm not sure why I wrote so much. I just kinda...felt like it. ::Rainii tenses up slightly at the anouncement. She felt prepared, as she normally was, but...There's something else in the back of her mind,bothering her, and she doesn't know what it is. It wasn't fear, she didn't think--at least, not fear for herself,and her well-being...but...Maybe it was fear, fear of death. Not her own, no, she'd stopped fearing that awhile ago. You had to, or you'd go mad. Maybe...fear of...:: Of Julie going the way of Infinity and Crohan,and Clerian having to go through it all again?
Exactly.::The answer didn't soothe her, as she figured it wouldn't. The only way she would be satisfied is if this was over, and they weren't here. She glances at Edwin,again, waiting for his answer, and just as quickly, formed one of her own. She would tell no one of these fears and doubts that plagued her, the ones she couldn't explain--the ones that would flare up, suddenly, waking her from her sleep, making her pace the room,planning,worrying. She'd never been like that before, not until recently, and it made her wonder:was this what they'd gone through, day after day,year after year? And now, was passed to her, making her their replacement? Could she even do it justice? Rainii's 'selfish reason' for fighting came back to her.:: ...which is to prove to myself that maybe I can do this without them, although I wish I didn't have to::She wanted to protect Julie, and Clerian, and everyone,if she could,prevent them from dying,so they wouldn't leave,she wanted to prove herself to two people who probably couldn't even see or hear her... And,most of all,she realized she just wanted to land in Vector already, so she could get to work. The more she worked,the less time she had to think.::

:The lights black out as another blast rocks the ship. Red emergency lights dimly light the ship and the speakers crackle in silence. Everyone on board can feel the ship dropping almost at an unsafe rate before slowing to a very rough landing. More explosions can be heard outside the thin walled ship and the echoes of footsteps throughout it as the soldiers unload create an overwhelming racket: *****NO MORE POSTING--GO TO APPROPRIATE SECTION IN SOUTHERN CONTINENT!!********** fftalesrebirth.proboards79.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=soco&thread=1185253131
