Then and now seeking out the future

[Inger Strömfire]

@Lucien Cordel

Seeking out what was to come was hard for Inger sometimes. It would be fate that have her in its grasp. It wasn't at all strange or her to get vision about her or her sister though the bonds they shared. It was another things to get flashes of face some she knew only by that face. Others she knew not who they where of yet or to come. It had this since it was to come, but just what would take place only time would tale.

Coming to stop as she enter the place she now called her home, among other things. It had been a long rode one that her master took great pleasure in shaping. Seeing what looked to be a empty slate to mold into his own weapon his own doing.

Still seeking more learning and knowledge from this one still it would be only time that he would run out of things to teach her.

Until that day came she would stand before each time he called her.

Lucien had summoned [member="Inger Strömfire"] to his Zaadja estate for what would be some of her final activities as an apprentice. Her abilities had been growing slowly in ability. Her communication had come leaps and bounds as well and lucien was even hearing talk that she was establishing a business, of course she still had some way to go however lucien hoped that the liberation that came with being knighted would act as a catalyst to her advancement.

He had left instructions for her to meet him on the rear balcony which overlooked an extensive winter garden. A poet might think he was being symbolic and soppy. He was most decidedly not, he just didn't want to smoke in the house. Cigar in his right hand he beckoned Inger out "I have been hearing much about you , this is good but I feel it's high time you joined me to see how I work " he said between drags of his cigar "I'm taking you to deal with an incursion in the tundra, I trust your willing to join me ?"

 

[Inger Strömfire]

Finding her eyes upon what has been came to known as her Master one that hadn't disappeared on her. Asking her to step out, which she did at once. Wearing once again a nice business looking outfit once again. Waiting on him to stop his enjoyment off his cigar, "oh ", she didn't want to seem to eager to go with him. To prove her worth in some way, to prove herself that she was growing.

It does sound like a great way to learn more, I think I might just join you.

Making her way around the rest of the way to sit down in front of him, giving herself a straight poster.

"Good, good" he nodded , slightly bemused that he had taken his prior comment as a request , it was most decidedly not a request ... Lucien gave veiled orders he didn't make requests. None the less such trivialities were irrelevant for now he would let infer continue in her belief that she was here by choice. Lucien threw the last remnance of his cigar off the balcony and turned to face [member="Inger Strömfire"] .

"There is a smuggling ring at play here on zaadja up until recently they paid me for leniency and I let the exist , the payments have stopped so now we are going to stamp them out. We hit their storage compound first then their transport hubs and finally their retail points " he would shatter them like glass firstly to send a message that no one on zaadja was big enough to defy him and secondly to give Inger a parting gift "Get yourself ready the transport leaves in twenty minutes" he concluded before pushing away from the railing and walking inside.

At the appointed time he was waiting by the transport, usually he would leave such trivial operations to customs officials and police but the operation seemed a good way to complete infers training.

 

[Inger Strömfire]

Always simple to the point but also one that knew when to act also when to hold back to gather the infromation one like herself would need to do battle with these that dare them think they can get away with not playing what was owe to her boss. This even got a more of a smile upon her lips. As if this would be a sit down and talk things out. No that had drawn the line for battle. Just what would they walk into that had remind to be seen.

The time that she had to get herself ready, knowing that she had to grab her bow and other things. Knowing that the last piece was her saber. Following herself up to the point of no return. That much would have to wait for now. As she bow and left. Finding herself light on her feet as she flew as if one need not have feet under her.

After all she wasn't like unprepared for these little trips no not her. Always with this one she needed to be ready that is what she was ready to go. Shaking her head at the fact that this would be to prove herself worthy of the next step of what every her Master had for her. By her old gods and goddess she would push threw.


Finding him waiting as she swiftly took her place. Looking at Lucien as she got a slight grin upon her face, "So how is your son doing now days.", what Lucien didn't know wouldn't hurt him keeping tabs on him.

Lucien nodded in acknowledgement as [member="Inger Strömfire"] arrived gesturing for her to get into the stealth carrier he'd had prepared. It would do no good to lose the element of surprise so early in the game. Once she was in he followed her and the ship took off he was about to brief her on the group but she blindsided him by asking about his son "oh Darien he's fine , I've sent him to intern at the zaadja board of trade so he's away From home for a week or so " Lucien didn't question why Inger was interested by his son , mainly because he didn't want to know the answer . A relationship between the two of them would only end in heartache.

The journey was quick and the ship soon came to land begging a hill overlooking the storage compound. Lucien handed Inger a pair of binoculars "Scout for a way in but mind not to engage without me I don't want to miss the fun, there is a speedy bike being unloaded should you need it" Lucien said dryly before ushering Inger out of the ship. Almost as if planned the pilot appeared with a cup of tea

 

[Inger Strömfire]

This brought a smile to her lips that Darien was good. Just why had she asked this very question was it just to feel the air between them or more. Shrugging this off as she had a task at hand. Even then she gave a nod to the fact that could feel the ship slow coming down. Coming down the ramp, listen to him before looking back over her should.

"Enjoy that tea", after which time couldn't help to know she was the scout. After which time she couldn't help but feel like she being watched or maybe that was just the viking coming out of her be aware of all around. After the art of scout was blending in that what she did pushing the speeder forward hard. After which time she could only do the same as she knew had to slow up as the traffic got thicker. Hiding her eyes behind those googles still ever watchful.

Now came the fun after which time she knew would have to watch that what she did finding a spot that look like she wasn't out of place just waiting to score. Waving her hand to some of the passer, those such weak minded fools. This trick was coming in handy.

After which time she sent back some data. [member="Lucien Cordel"]

 

[Lucien Cordel]

Lucien had just finished his tea when the data arrived from [member="Inger Strömfire"]. He read the report with a subtle nod. It confirmed much of the data he already had . Lucien supposed he would have to go and help, this was after all his mission. He therefore followed in Inger's path over the hill and down to the storage compound. He came to a sto just beside Inger

"Have you found a way for us to enter " he asked whilst he surveyed the walls. As Lucien saw it there were a few ways in but this mission was a test for Inger were she not nearing knight level he would have tasked the police with handling this rag tag organisation, he could have sent Inger along with some police but then he'd miss the fun that was one of the downsides of a cushy office job you occasionally miss the grit of a good raid.

 

[Inger Strömfire]

Her eyes slide side ways to his question. There was a few possibilities one being the straight in. If that would be the choice then she would have to where once of those outfits. This bring a frown to her face. After all what was still unknown was how many inside that needed to be played with. How every there was other possibilities one that wasn't as direct.

"How old are you feeling right now.", meaning would her Master really be up to the more physical of jumping from one roof to the next with out being seen or heard. "There couldn't be any heavy breathing to give us away.", then there was also the idea of jacking a few id and finding the back way in.

"It seem that those to have been getting themselves with spirits all night so don't know how good those to be in the back side." , raising an eyebrow to him. Finding something more of a slip with him then anything. "There was also, the idea of dressing like we are dealers, " not really like that idea for the fact that she would have to take off clothing which she was very found off. Being that she was use to keeping a lot of layers on for her taste when going to those special events to where those dress she wasn't so found of.

[member="Lucien Cordel"]

 

[Lucien Cordel]

Lucien would probably adopted to sneak into the compound in disguise, it was after all the far simpler method for getting right into the heart but Lucien couldn't let an accusation that he was old go uncontested. So he shook his head "we are taking the roof" he said throwing his jacket onto the seat of his speeder. He still couldn't believe he was being called old he wasn't that old.

"After you" he said gesturing [member="Inger Strömfire"] Forward he'd sooner she fell than him after all he might break. No she would find the best path she was more well versed in this sort of thing. That and he was testing Inger

 

[Inger Strömfire]

Taking off as she knew first was to get to the other roof, reaching out in the force in front of her letting it aid when she needed. Like that of a cat she went up and up. Finding herself looking over also getting a feeling of something more after all she had a eye for details. Waiting as she did about a second later there came to men walking on the other roof, looking over towards. This is when she pulled her bow from her putting on two arrows as she breathed in then as she slowly let it out.

Both went flying towards as it seem that both towards the same target it seem as if the wind took the one in another direction. Knowing it was someone at work not the wind but the force. As it found their way to let those that was awake no more would they be sleeping in the under world.

Nodding at [member="Lucien Cordel"] before making the jump with some take off landing softly as she went on towards the way the two had came. Before doing so not that she needed to cheek for life but to grab a key card. That what she did as she went walking onto what look like a bridge of sorts. After which time with the luck of the card, after which time.

"Well, it seem you are doing well enough for being behind that desk of yours.", taking off once more as if not to let herself enjoy this all. Working their way down not needing to keep any alive for answer. No they just needed to be cut off and put six feet under.

"[member="Lucien Cordel"] , you go this way I'll go that way we met up next floor for the real fun.", this was for herself just getting herself started that what she did, not wanting him to see her true nature one that enjoy the killing it made her feel like one of her people in this part of the mission.

 

[Lucien Cordel]

Lucien smiled as [member="Inger Strömfire"] ascended the wall. He may have chucked as well amused by the Vigour of youth. He may have kept the wall but he would float. Because Lucien was nothing if not a theatric. So he came to land next to Inger his cane in his right hand and a cigar poised lazily in his mouth. He watched as his tribal associate felled a pair of goons. "Quite impressive" he said before Inger rushed off again, the girl was showing off it seemed, it was rather quaint really. Not to be out done however Lucien was swiftly at her heels.

Flipping over from one to the next Lucien landed with the grace of a debutante. Spinning on his heels to send a shot of lightning in to a sentry. Too old ... His eye. He continued to follow Inger on her path of destruction, she had become quite capable under his teaching ... She still had a mouth on her. It seemed she approved of his skill level even if he did have a desk. "I'll have you know that before I got my desk I was a badass , in truth I still am but if you throw masters at all the problems it becomes boring " he replied dropping his cigar stub off the roof and continued growth toward the main building and he split with Inger.

Now he could have fun . Strolling along he eventually came upon a large room , a rec room of sorts. He stepped in passing his cane through the neck of the nearest foot soldier. "Good afternoon" he said to the remaining solders , he offered to allow them to surrender. The spat in the face of his generosity. So he pinned one into the wall with his cane which had sharpened its' self and went to town on the rest. In the end they were dead and his shirt was splattered with blood. He turned to the goon mounted on the wall watching blood escape him as the last vestiges of life danced in his eyes. "Look after my coat, I need to wash my hands"
