Old Man Draco (Zreame)

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

The haunted straights were something from myth almost and Willa had come chasing at the time a legend. It wasn't every day as she learned you found truth to something while she walked with her eyes flicking back and forth. The smg in its holster was more then enough usually but she had her DC rifle just in case, old model but reliable compared to some as she was seeing and slung over her shoulder. The sniper rifle the most worthwhile thing she had but needed distance compared to the flame or sonic shots her smg could have. That was why she was here though to keep improving and to keep making things bigger and better while she waited for the Representative from Armatech. Draco had recommended her as he had for many ranger things.

Zreame walked forwards dressed in formal wear, a suit coat with a tie, her swords both at her hip on the right side, you'd never see a Cernun like her without their bloodswords. A small serpentine trail of silvery smoke followed after her leading to a cigarillo in the corner of her mouth as she walked through the haunted straights. Draco had told her a client was here and since this was pretty much her first time doing something like this she thought she could at least dress for the part, though she had her revolvers inside the coat and the entire suit was armorweave should things go south. Her white hair combed back over her head and went into the suit, belaying the true waist length.

"Willa Isard? My name is Zreame Zeibitha I am the representetive from Armatech." She said as she eyed [member="Willa Isard"] and walked towards her as she finished her cigarillo and threw it away to the side.

Willa looked at the woman and raised an eyebrow for a moment before seeing the blades and then there was a smirk tugging on her lips. Oh this was good and she stood in the old model Havok suit with its armorweave and duraplast plates. Protective except her was ten times lighter then the others with her gravitational leveler and bracers while she was moving. "Yeah... I must say I wasn't expecting this." She didn't judge one by their outward appearance as most deemed her human despite her whole boneless thing and inciterating everyone with a happy go lucky curved bullet. Which she had on her back while she was moving. "I hope you have been to the haunted straights before because they are saying there is soemthing in the mines scaring away the miners."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame seemed a little oblivious when [member="Willa Isard"] spoke about the straights. "I can't say that I have miss Isard. I actually haven't spent that much time in this sector of the galaxy so I am a bit misinformed." Zreame admitted as she pulled out a datapad that also doubled as a hand held scanner, turning it on as it beeped a little to indicate it was on. "Tell me what is inside the mine that you require enough to brave facing this...whatever it is inside the mine that's scaring every one?" She then asked as her curiosity showed quite a bit on her face. The Cernun's tail was slowly moving behind her in a serpentine like manner as she studied the woman before her.

Willa looked at her and huffed blowing a braid of her hair out of her face. "I don't know what it is, I was called in from Vaynai because the ranger's know how to handle things... Then I got here and nothing. I mean the miners are in their houses but I walked through there for an entire day and night and nothing even tried to scare me. Then when I said I didn't find anythign there was another incident that night. I've been staying with the lighthouse keeper who said it was a ghost from when the CIS dropped trihexilon on the island.... but I am not finding anything. Draco is a ranger and he suggested help and you guys have better sensors then me."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame smiled a little. "Well then now I feel a little over dressed." She said gesturing towards her attire and her expression turned into a little sideways smirk that gave it away that she was joking before also taking out night-vision goggles and placing them on her head, or rather made them rest just above her forehead. "I have a pretty good scanner on hand I've used for looking for cortosis in mines so it should do well in the Haunted straights." She then said as she handed Willa the hand scanner for keeping as she undid a few buttons on her suit coat and moved her swords so that they were on either side of her hips instead of both on one side. [member="Willa Isard"] sure seemed decked out, 'must be hard to go through spaceports and the like' She thought a little to herself.

"Well depends on who is doing the cavity searches." She said it as the joke without breaking stride and her attention was on the scanner while she brushed a braid away from her cheek. "When i scanned I got nothing... which is a given with the deposits of stygium. It will play with your scanners but they were not detecting what usually comes with ghosts or reports. No cold spots, no rattling chains, no ghost trying to possess the local virgins so I could save them of their virginity." She smiled at the last one and was moving down into the mines as the old lighthouse keeper came. With fog rolling in behind him and he looked the two women over.... "Well now if you two ladies want you could just stay and I'll keep you warm tonight," Willa looked at him and shook her head stepping a little closer to the woman with swords just to get him off their backs while she spoke. "No I prefer my meat... well ribbed." She indicated the tail looking into the mine.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame smirked a little at the joke. "Oh I'm sure there are a lot of ex-virgins that have you to thank for a rescue." she joked right back and then followed [member="Willa Isard"] towards the mine. When the lighthouse keeper came she only teasingly smirked and placed one hand around Willa's hip. "I prefer my meat like this." She said with a smirk as she let out her split tongue a little while the hand holding the scanner did a 'shoo' gesture at the man. "Take it this town is full of those?" She then asked as she walked with Willa, pulling down her goggles so she could see better. The cernuns tail was swaying back and forth behind her, halfway in the same manner one would see a cat's tail as it stalked for prey.

"The galaxy has them." She said it turning around and walking towards the mine before continuing out of earshot. "But he has been stranger... more adamant in not investigating and actively trying to get me or anyone to stay away." That was what was getting her warnings in her head. He seemed like the one who didn't mind a ghost or have problems with it but everyone else did and in some places they were leaving. "He offered his spare room during the investigation and always seems to be around to see me or tell me not to go and keep looking." She she was guessing while moving into the mine and raising her hand. "So to me that means he is involved somehow or he is trying to make excuses to accidentally try and catch me when I am naked." She was thinking of ways he could be involved as if it was a ghost the cause of it... if it was a fake as the source maybe or assuming it was real... he knew what or who it might be."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame listened to [member="Willa Isard"] as she spoke or rather explained the situation to her while absentmindedly starting the scanner when they entered the mine. "Well it could also just be both? I mean come on it must be a little lonely living out here all by himself?" She then said as she glanced down at her scanner and saw the interference messing with it. "This stygium... what is it used for anyway?" She then asked as she walked up to one of the mine's walls and began tapping it with one hand before she looked towards Willa. "Can't say I've ever been in a mine before though..." she then mumbled a little as she skipped to get closer to Willa to walk next to her as she held the scanner up and began tweak it a bit to try and compensate for the interference.

Willa shrugged as she looked at the woman and had a grin on her face. "Stygium is great for cloaking devices and making some saber crystals. I was hoping to solve this mystery and bargain for some to make some armor plates." She was moving now and stopped as the scanner showed some paint on the floor. She touched it and looking without the scanners light the paint couldn't be seen. She was looking around and followed the arrow in the mine towards a split that led off into another direction while she starred at the woman walking. "And it conceals the island from sensors."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame placed a hand around her chin and hummed a little as she thought over the applications of such a metal in personal armor. "Hmm perhaps I could do the same and get a little bargain on it." She said with a wide smirk as she noticed that the scanners light revealed some sort of paint on the ground. "Let me increase the lights intensity." she said as she made the scanners light brighter and also made it encompass a larger space, revealing a large skull painted on one of the walls. "Either we have an interesting aspiring artist on our hands or this is a warning of some kind." She joked as she pointed at the skull on the wall to [member="Willa Isard"].

Willa looked at the image and her thoughts went to Zathra the artist who had her posing all atrisian style by the firelight and the thought cause her to walk into a wall as she rubbed her nose. That girl was going to be the death of her but ehhh what a way to go as Willa turned and raised an eyebrow looking at Zreame. "Pretty girl like you should easily be able to get a bargain. Your company I am surprised hasn't started developing stealth gear already makes me surprised." she said it while backing away from the wall lest she turn around and smack into it again.. it was hard to be a tough girl when you literally walk into a wall twice and ti is the same wall. She was looking it over through.... "But the image makes no sense I mean it isn't showing up in standard light you need a blacklight. I mean if you rigged something up with the lights so they switched briefly you might be able to." her thoughts were trailing off as she kept walking and looked along the walls.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame pondered what [member="Willa Isard"] had said as she walked along to follow the trails of paint along some walls and floor. "My, my miss Isard if I didn't know any better I'd think you were flirting with me." Zreame then said jokingly as she walked along the trails and noticed how absentminded Willa was getting. "I don't think the light bulbs here can be made into black lighting ones." She then said as she moved up to one of the light bulbs and inspected it and saw that she was right. Her tail had slowed down so much that it barely seemed to move at all.

She looked at her and moved to look at some of the light... "On a good day I would be, seem my type, strong, fierce and oh the things I would think to use those horns for... The jokes... or that tail." She almost shuddered at the thought. "I'd show you how flexible a vahla could be before even using the force." She had a grin on her face but was looking at some of the lights while she thought about it. There were some other things she found with the light while looking. "But I am trying to curve that, I made a promise and there is enough stigma with my people thanks to the sith.... Now this is interesting." She looked at it while going over to a section with a powerbox as she flipped the large switch and power came to the area of the mine just within the sight of the entrance. The lights going on to light it up and she moved to the light showing a second line connecting them as she followed it with the lights beginning to flicked on and off before one switched to a blacklight closer down away from them and showed the image briefly. "A dimmer to go on after you get far enough in." She grinned a little to herself while pulling the zipper down with some steam from her sweat on her skin. "Damn heat."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame listened and couldn't help but bite her lower lip a little at hearing [member="Willa Isard"] speak. "Well if you made a promise then at least I'll help....you...keep...it...?" She had begun to trail off as the lights came on and then fully trailed off as Willa pulled down her zipper. Zreame gave herself a little slap on her cheek as she looked away from the Vahla. 'Sheesh why does this alway's happen to me?' She thought as she began to follow the trail of lights as she cleared her throat a little. "Huhumm how about we follow the lights a little deeper into the mine? might find something there now that we have the dimmers and the scanner light on." She said though she didn't look at Walla at all.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Willa was moving as she nodded in agreement, she might be able to handle heat but she could still sweat and it was uncomfortable..... the cold she could be warm in but here in the mine where the air was hot and cry she was sweat all over in the duraplast armor. "Alright lets go and look, who knows maybe they found something more then stygium here and someone is trying to scare the others off." There was a look for her as she held the lights looking forward into the tunnel while she waited a few moments. "And thank you, never actually thought I would.... I am blabbering like an idiot aren't I?"

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame looked back with a teasing smirk towards [member="Willa Isard"]. "You kinda are but it's cute in it's own way so don't worry about it." She then said in a teasing tone before looking ahead and stopping as they came to a "T" section in the tunnel. The right one lead further down while the other lead a little way's up before curving out of sight. "Ok so what should we do now? and if you say split up I'm handcuff my self to you since that is always a bad Idea... I've watched enough trid-movies to know that much." She then said with her cheeks puffing a little and her hands crossing around her chest.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Damn she was going to suggest they split up and was thinking about their options now. The one heading down should lead the best results. The mine was always moving and expanding so down should be where they started or found whatever was around... Going around the corner though promised to not be in the stuffy, dry air that made her wish she wasn't going to have to wring out her tank top after this. "We should head down." She said it while looking towards the lower parts of the mines and then back up. "And I am certain those handcuffs are around for professional reasons only right?" That she said with a grin while walking and the lower section took a welcome blast of cool air. The mining equipment had to filter the air some how and large vents were bringing air from the surface while pulling the hot air out. Willa stood there for a moment letting it blow her short hair around and the braids while she reached out with the force to feel the mines. Stygium might be playing with their sensors but her force senses were top tier beginner's. "We should investigate this vent... it might be suspicious."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame gave a teasing smirk right back at [member="Willa Isard"]'s comment on the handcuffs. "Wouldn't you like to know~" She said before following her down into the lower tunnel and stopped next to her when the cool air hit her, letting out something that might be akin to a sigh and a purr or something as she just enjoyed it. The inside of her clothes were getting a little sweaty and it caused her hair, which was under the clothes, to stick to her skin a little. 'Note to self take a bath for a few hours after this little trip' She thought as she then nodded to Willa and followed her towards the vent. "How exactly do you find a vent suspicious anyway?" She had to ask as her curiosity took a little over.
