"Nyope! Nada! Zilch!" Jack exclaimed. Already he was looking around the cockpit in wonder and, perhaps, distraction.

Kalraevanda
Draenor, Lower City of Shattrath
The red woman quickly started calling the tower, scheduling a launch. Normally she wouldn't bother but with all the traffic, it would have been stupid not to.
She smiled as her vehicle came into view. The small craft, not meant for more than five was sleek, and gorgeously designed. Despite having a subtle profile, surprising for one such as herself, it was tooled excellently. Perhaps she didn't appreciate it quite enough, not having given it a name. But she certainly enjoyed it, and the luxury of being in and out where she pleased, quietly.

Both men watched the ship descend with widely different opinions.
"It suits you," Virgus noted with approval, eying the sleek design and colouration appreciatively. He did not fail to note, however, the lack of a name. Perhaps he should talk to her about that.
"How fast is it?" Castus asked, ever the pragmatist.

"Fast enough that you won't expect me to stick around for a fight," Kal stated, opening the hatch remotely and stepping inside.

"Well then, better make sure everybody's ready to leave because I'm burning sky as soon as possible," Ten grinned, starting to settle back into his more haughty attitude now that his encounter with the Templar was wearing off.
Character
: Felix Quinn, D3-S5
Location
: Argus, Mac'Aree / Templar Academy
Argus was a planet of life, unparalleled in natural beauty since Azeroth's destruction. Snow-capped mountain ranges, grassy fields, and the twin world trees came together into a picturesque landscape. The cities were no less stunning. Mac'Aree, the largest among them, was the peak of draenei architecture. Every wall, every building, was made of smooth lines and stunning designs, with crystals of various colors and shapes and sizes gleaming in the sun.
Compared to the draenic structures, the Templar Academy that sat in the city was a stark contrast. While it had some influential design from the buildings surrounding it, the academic structure seemed to have been lifted from Azeroth's silver skyline.
A human man sat on a bench in the Academy's courtyard, surrounded by fountains and gardens carefully maintained by the staff. He was relatively young, probably only in his mid-twenties, with wispy brown hair that fell in his face and a stubble speckled jaw. His form was cloaked in a brown robe and green eyes examined a datapad in one hand.
Deal is still on. Hold up your end.

"Well, I guess Ten got over his issues," Felix Quinn mumbled to himself, looking to his side at where a blocky droid sat. It's rectangular 'head', perched upon a stubby neck-like pillar above its rectangular body, spun to turn a single optic upon the Templar.
"<< templar Quinn = needs data? / D3 = data available >>" the droid, D3-S5, beeped.
"Yeah, looks like we're using it. Thanks for coming along, buddy," Quinn smiled at the droid.

"Good." Virgus noticed his brother was looking at him when he said such. He scowled somewhat, a look ignored by his bulkier twin as the pale figure moved up the steps and into the bowels of the ship. Still annoyed, Virgus followed.
Characters:
Mishka, Jack Pytheas Carter, Kasmed

"You would be wrong." Mishka eyed the creature. A pirate. She had thought so, but that he had been so blunt about it was highly suspect. He expected something from her. Either inaction or assistance, and she wasn't sure which would be best given. She decided to test him.
"I used to make a living hauling your kind in," she informed him sharply, gauging his reaction.
This time Jack failed to supress a squeal of delight. "Eeee! That means I get to use the intercom!" Snatching a small headset from the console, he hooked it over an ear and rotated the microphone so it sat before his mouth.
"Mhmm! Mhm! Haaak! Attention crew of the
Masallian Steed!
This is your captain speaking!" Jack smiled broadly and threw himself into the copilot's chair. Feet kicked up on the control panel he leaned back with arms thrown behind his head. "How ya doin'? We are now going to be making preparations to launch. Luggage is being stowed, equipment handled. So if everyone could please find somewhere to hold on while we leave the pressurized station that would be great!"

Ten paused, realizing most of his stuff was still on the Nagito. After a moment he shook his head and smirked, glad he wasn't a stranger to living lean. His hands flew across the consoles and the dormant systems of the ship hummed to life, including the engines.
It didn't matter how rugged or inelegant the exterior was, the vessel was beautiful inside. Ten had vast respect for ships, they were creatures he could naturally understand. He didn't take very long to adjust to the controls, and soon had a comm channel open with the docking authorities.
"This is the
Masallian Steed
requesting permission to depart."
He waited, holding his breath.
"... Permission granted,
Masallian Steed
."
Ten smirked, and with that, raised the ship off the ground and turned it towards the shield closing off the docking bay.

Kalraevanda seated herself snugly in the cockpit, taking a moment to revel in the seats. Then another. She giggled quietly to herself and started flicking on systems.

Opening her mouth to reply, Mishka instead instinctively grabbed one of the handles lining the ceiling as the ship shuddered and tilted with motion.
"We would like to remind you all that your comfort is our dearest wish. It really is. So refreshments will be dispensed shortly, and please tip your attendants. They accept credits, advice on their marital life, or allegorical tales of swashbuckling. Please buckle yourselves in, hoist up your pants, and hold onto your stomachs as we are now departing for outer space!
"We would like to remind you that Pythean airlines is not responsible for any lost or stolen unattended items. You will be reimbursed if we find out we can't sell them. Please enjoy your flight and thank you for flying Pythean airlines, the pithiest spaceliner available."
"Over and out." Making his own static sound, Pytheas removed the headset and flashed Ten a grin.

Virgus took a set beside the draenai and laughed aloud at her antics. Castus meanwhile filled a seat near the rear with a line of sight at the doorway leading in, arms folded and jaw rigid.

"I'll take you up on the refreshments," Ten mentioned, "if you're not scared of me drinking and driving."
He nudged the ship through the docking bay shield, the sudden change of environment rattling the vessel. Ten did his best to keep them steady as the ship ascended above the city.

Kal looked over her shoulder at Virgus as she started talking the tower, "Vessel SV23-T to tower, requesting clearance for launch. Over. "
The vessel lifted with enviable smoothness and was off within a few moments.

Perk managed to remain standing for most of the takeoff, only stumbling as the ship made its most violent lurches, but looking more annoyed than shocked at the motions.
R-120
Azeroth,
Durotar Barracks
"This is the droid we're sending?"
"Are-one-twenty has an impressive combat record."
"It has an impressive kill count! We've had to rebuild it three times!"
Voices bickered back and forth, R-120 processing their words at speeds faster than any human could. He stood at the ready, waiting the orders he had been promised.
This time was different. There was no crew, no test after his awakening. And now this bickering, the droid couldn't begin to imagine what was going on; mostly because robots have no imagination.
"If this is our best man for the job, I say we go back to looking at actual
men
!"
"To send a group would attract too much attention from the other governments, we're trying to be discreet about this!"
"Ahem." The droid suddenly interrupted, looking upwards at the gathered military and political personnel. "I Would Like To Personally Volunteer Myself For This Mission, If It Can Put An End To This Debate."
There was a silence for a moment, the assorted mortals hardly even considering the droid alive, let alone properly sentient.
"Very well." One of the Generals finally spoke up. "We are sending you to the newly discovered world of Thule. Alone."
R-120 nodded slowly. "Thule..."
"Yes. We are in agreement with the other government bodies to make no attempts to colonize the planet. Thus, you are going under the guise of a recon droid."
"And My True Mission?"
"To secure the planet of Azerothian colonization."

From the back of the ship Castus cast a look at the two in the cockpit. His eyes flashed on noticing how Virgus kept casting surreptitious glances at the woman beside him. Saying nothing, he merely burrowed deeper in his chair to wait.

"Hah!" Ten laughed at the quaking Pytheas. He held his own manic grin on his face as they left the silver spires of Azeroth behind and began breaching the planet's atmosphere. "We're almost to the fun part."
Character

There were two other contacts that Ten had left him with, aside from the mysterious 'P' who had secured their deal. Oddly enough the pale pilot had never given any way to reach
him
specifically, just his proxies. Still, Quinn brought up the two contacts on the secure channel.
"D3 upload the coordinates for K'aresh and Xoroth," he asked.
The droid beeped, "<< coordinates = uploaded ! >>"
Separating them out, Quinn then sent them out. He breathed, not realizing he had begun holding his breath. Things were finally beginning. He hadn't been sure what he was going to do after Ten nearly called off their deal, but it turned out to not matter in the end. Thank the Light.
