Old Man Draco (Zreame)

Willa gave a nod of her head in approval at the gear mostly because it was goo with this purpose... The swords possibly clinking together less so but she trusted the woman not to endanger them with miners. "Alright they are all heading out to some party, we'll have to be quick, quiet and leave things as we have seen them to be safe." She was looking at her wrist computer and the hackers friend was great for looking at and getting some of the security codes to the houses. Willa was moving when it was dark enough to the back of the barkeeps home while her computer sliced in an opened it.

Zreame walked along [member="Willa Isard"] and nodded when she spoke and gestured with a fingers zipping up her mouth and she then followed into the barkeeps home, silently moving inside it and looking around. With a gesture she motioned for Willa to move in as she held onto the hilts of her swords making sure that they wouldn't clank behind her while they investigated the house. It was dreary and smelt like booze, reminded her a little of home to be perfectly honest.

Willa moved in and stopped as she stood there, the shack if you could call it that had two levels and lots of clutter inside as she was looking at the staircase. Assuming he went with most ones she knew. The bottom level would be for food, entertainment and storage but the upper area for everything else while she was looking and it was a small dreary place not very big. She was able to move though carefully through it measuring her footsteps so not to make sounds while she was pointing with her hands to the small room with boxes and for storage. Upstairs her attention was drawn as she grabbed the stair and pulled herself up rather then try and not disturb the mess at the foot of the stairs.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame nodded and moved silently towards the small room with boxes inside it and crouched as she reached one, making a face as she pulled out old and dirty clothes. 'Definitely not this one.' She thought as she gently pushed it aside making barely a whisper of sound and moved onto the next. 'Bottles of bozze most of them are empty..' She confirmed in her mind as she began to go through the boxes one by one. She did however glance back and saw [member="Willa Isard"]'s legs disappear to the floor above from the stairs.

Willa was upstairs and looking carefully. She doubted things would be easy to find but she moved opening the drawers slowly to not make a sound before she was looking at toys... Then she was quickly closing it and going over to his desk looking at bills and paperwork. A small notice of construction for tunnels and a storm shelter caught her eye but given they were on an island where it could storm and break their houses she was guessing it was for that... Or was it? Slowly she snapped an image of it with her computer and was moving through the room carefully as she slid over the bannister and lowered herself to the floor dropping and looking at Zreame while she motioned for them to move outside. "I didn't find much of interest, some construction for a storm shelter under the bar but that seems like something you'd want to have."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame had went through boxes of old porn mags and the like and she was having the distinct impression that the houses resident was a grade A pervy old man or something of the like. Seeing [member="Willa Isard"]'s head pop from the entrance from the stairs she nodded and put every thing back to it's place before she moved towards the door they got in through. Listening to her she thought for a moment and then sighed a little. "Well then I guess we can go and pick another house and hope this isn't one of those third times the charm kinda situations."

Willa nodded in agreement to that as she was moving, careful in the dark to go for the next best house. The mines foreman who was in charge of watching all of them and she was pointing. "Knowing how somethings turn out... we'll go through all the houses and it would be the last one we skipped for some random reason." She smirked though walking to it and looking at the back door with an open window above it for air she jumped up. Pulling herself through and getting the lock so not to show the slicing equipment before she was heading down in a low crouch. "I'll look for his office you search the living area."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame followed and listened to [member="Willa Isard"], rolling her eyes in a joke at the housing remark. "True and it'll probably be like the village idiots house or something." She said with a smirk before she stopped and waited for Willa to open the door for her. Once inside she nodded and went of to look for the living area as she crouched against the floor almost on all-fours as she sneaked into the house. She reached the living room and began looking around, seeing a family portrait she stopped and looked at it for a moment before she kept looking around for anything of use.

Willa kept looking and there was some stuff from other miners who had left from the island or died. She was searching and found nothing really big until... She looked at the bottom of a boot and found a flek of aurodium.... Not damning but it could mean he was in one it while she kept looking and found a cloak and costume mask. It didn't looke very scary to her but in the dark maybe. Slowly and quickly Willa was moving with the flek in a small container from her belt and she had the costume with mask while getting out and pointing. "It might not be much and it might be a clue but we should keep looking."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame looked around and then found a what appeared to be a small spider droid. Looking it over she found a speaker on it's side as well as a light caster that cast a very eerie light. As she was looking it over she accidentally pressed a hidden button that exuded smoke from the bot's legs, causing her to take a step back and fall over onto the sofa behind her. At that moment when [member="Willa Isard"] came in she stood up holding the spider bot and then listened to her speak before she presented her own evidence. "Well this thing has a smoke generator and has some creepy lighting, might be something." She explained as she held the bot up which was the size of the average house cat.

"I think we might have a few more pieces but we should keep looking around. Never know what else there might be." There was a smirk on her face though as this was at least looking like a real thing which meant if it really got at them... she could shoot it. That made her happy and she translated that while getting outside and looking from the foreman's house to the water. "Assuming they were being careful and smart, they'd need to get the aurodium out of the mine and transport it... but taking it through the town to the port would be dangerous and risk exposure." She turned her head and was looking at the boats on the water near the lighthouse. "Unless hahaha they just went by boat. Would reduce the risk and they could go anywhere to meet a transport."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame listened and then nodded. "Not to mention they could go silently on a boat so they wouldn't have to wake the village at all." She then said as she looked out towards the docks and water. "But that begs the question... Were do they dock the boat to get the Aurodium on board it and were exactly do they take it to be shipped away." She then said as she held her hand around her chin while she pondered what to do. [member="Willa Isard"] was definitely on to something.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

That was harder, if they went on a boat they would literally go just about anywhere off the island... but they could at least look and see. There would have to be signs of people carrying heavy loads of aurofium as she was walking towards the mine. "Alright from here lets say they get it out, at night to not be seen." She was looking at the path around them and towards the ocean as she was waling and trying to imagine pushing a large cart. Repulsorlifts would make noise that wouldn't be wanted, the strain you could at least pretend not to feel the pain and she was moving along one of the paths. Lit by the moon to guide the way and see but enough dark you should be able to fit a cart while she got down to the water and stood there looking at the docks. "No boats but the wood here looks like it has been holding heavier things" She was pointing to the cracks and strains when something came. A flash of light and then there was something standing over them on the mountain not speaking but emitting a screech.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame followed [member="Willa Isard"] as she half crouched along, memories of hunting trips with her family during the Hyrellion festival on Cernnnos. She seemed like she was hunting as she followed Willa around once at the docks she seemed to smell into the air. "Yeah but given how much heavier it's a wonder it's still holding." She said as she crouched along the dock and ran her fingers over the wood over it. Her ear picked something up before she looked to the side and saw that thing standing above them, the screech caused her to jump for cover. "What in the hells is that thing?" She then shouted as she peered over her cover at the thing.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

"Hell if I know." Willa moved quickly to cover as it stopped for a moment and then was jumping down at them. She pressed against the rock as her smg was raised with the sound of the old style slugthrower cocking. "But I'm shooting it." She moved out of cover as it was coming at her and fired into the things chest getting some sparks, then it was falling over as the mask went away and it was human.... Or close to human as the chest was a mass of flesh, wires and smoke. Willa holding a light on the thing as she went down and checked for a pulse seeing it speaking. "Error error." She looked around searching with the force and her eyes while touching the back of the things neck to switch it off. "Human replica droid which would be a good way to move something heavy without hurting yourself.... but someone had to know to send it after us." Now she was getting excited, those juices flowing from being hunted and hunting a target while she rose up grabbing the thing. "We'll put this on the ship and look at it."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame nodded and went out of cover and was about to swing her swords at the thing when [member="Willa Isard"] fired her rounds into it's chest. "or that works." She half mumbled as she looked around while she let Willa examine the thing. "A replica droid? I thought those were you know illegal or something." She then said as she looked down at the thing and looked it over a bit before she looked at Willa again. "Well I have some scanning gear on board my ship should be able to tell us what we need and if that doesn't work we can always take it apart." She then said at the last bit she looked at the droid with an evil grin, she loved to take tech apart and put it back together just to see how it ticked.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

"Not illegal per say.... kind of vague at times but usually frowned upon." She was taking it to the ship and changed direction a little to get it to Zreames while she brought it in. "Though if you are going to have one out here they should at least look the part." She lifted the droid up onto a table to scan and took the mask off showing a young woman with black hair and storm colored eyes. Willa was looking at the rest of her and the mess of her chest while she was taking in the rest. "This one I think we would notice, for being on an island she is pale, very clean and looks more like a tourists." Willa was looking and got the back of her neck revealed while searching for wires to hook her up. "Should be able to playback to before she attacked us."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame helped [member="Willa Isard"] carry the droid and shifted when they moved to carry it to her own ship. She looked the droid over before she went to find a few cables to plug into the droid, her workstation was quite cluttered and she moved another droid head away from the middle of her workstation. "Not this one, not yet anyway." She said with a smile as she then dragged a few cables to the droid, handing one end to Willa to plug into the droid while she plugged the other end into the table under the droid. "All right let me get inside it..." She said chuckling a little as a holo-graphic keyboard appeared above the end of the table were the droids head was and she began tapping into it and then with a 'maestro if you please' gesture as the holo-graphic display moved to the middle and began to display the droids memories.

Willa plugged the droid in and there were a few things coming up. Thankfully though that most of it was stored in her head as she was pointing to the files and at what they had her programmed to do. "Looks like there are a few video files and directives. First one being protect the mine but they have no combat protocols loaded up. Second one is to scare away people when mining operations are tasking place." That had Willa looking more at Zreame as she spoke. "Okay so she gets turned on when they are mining, hydropicks won't make much sound but just in case. Is all dressed up and able to scare them away while they are working and later they retrieve it. With the celebration going on it is a perfect time to mine without being missed. Just say you were drunk and ducked out."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame nodded at that. "Not to mention once the celebration is over every one will be either too drunk or too tired to notice them ferrying the "loot" over to a boat." She then said as she began digging around in the droids memory files for a possible map of the mine. "Maybe it has a specific place in the mine it's supposed to guard more, if there is they might be there. Just hope they weren't smart enough to just designate the entire mine and never brought the thing inside it." She then said as she began tapping away at the holo-keyboard to look through the droids memory core.
