Bianca had turned to follow the Captain again after he had answered the question for them. "I haven't gotten to know everyone yet, though I guess that will change during the journey."

"EMI Locks set to Positive, Anti-Graviton Shields raised, Ready for take off"Finshed Bianca. "You do that" Said Anthony, kissing Bianca on the forehead as a Father would kiss a daughter. As Anthony walked down the corridor he felt a sudden Jolt as the ship took off. "So why are we leaving so soon?" Asked Sev, "Because I have people out for my neck" Replied Anthony, he contiued walking when he heard something on the loud speaker, a voice of a female, with a Heavy Chinese Influence. "This is Zi Won Il of the Northn Star Defiance, You will come with us or we will crush you". "Ignore that" Yelled Anthony, "Good trackers they are!,Get us out of here Bianca". Anthony ran towards his new guest. "We will have a small problem, if you could please hold on to something while we get blasted by laser fire" Said Anthony, he ran off before any questions could be flung at him.

Ths ship shuddered as it was buffeted by fire and Skylyn was knocked off balance by the assault. Cy's arm slid around the Companion's waist to keep her from falling to the deck. The shepherd held her, not tightly, but did not loosen his grip even as she found a hand-hold along the wall. His muscles clenched as gravity sought to tear them apart and send them hurtling to the deck as the ship accelerated through the planet's atmosphere. "I wonder if this happens often aboard this ship," Cy said to Skylyn.

She was grateful for the Shepherd catching her and helping to keep her upright. She felt secure in his grasp, though her arms sought to grab something to help stabilize them further. "I certainly hope not! If we can get to my quarters..." For a slight of figure woman, she had a deceiving amount of strength. She needed it too as they slowly made their way through the ship's corridors. Reaching the entrance to the converted fighter, Skye needed Cy's help to open the door that had swung closed in the rapid take off. Inside, the items she had purchased had been secured so as not to shift during times like this. All she had to do was drape around the various curtains to separate the different 'living areas' of the craft. She sank into one of the comfortable chairs, indicating the other to Cy.

He could feel the strain on the ship as the deck vibrated beneath his feet. Skylyn's quarters were lavishly decorated and Cy let his eyes wander around the room, taking in all the luxuries he had never experienced. "It's...very nice. I suppose I'll be sharing a room with one of the crew. Probably the big guy who seems to have trouble keeping his mouth from falling open when you're in the vicinity," Cy said with a chuckle. He studied Skylyn for a moment. "I suppose this is your..ah..place of business also?"

Skye had come into contact with all sorts of people in her travels. She glanced around the room, taking note of where the delivery people had placed her purchases. They had set up the bed for her, though she would need to reorganize it when she got the chance. At least nothing would go flying about. "It will be once I get everything organized properly. I've hired the craft so that I can have some independence from their ship and so that my customers won't feel uncomfortable in approaching me. My business will be conducted away from the Cavalier." ((Anthony - you might want to change your post coz we haven't gone anywhere as such ... the 'fighter' is still attached to the Cavalier and Skye and Cy are just sitting back talking))

Said Bianca, she started flying around in circles to try and dodge the bolts of energy directed at the Cavalier. "That fighter still has loaded guns, she can get them, and help us while Sev goes crazy over the turrets" Said Bianca, she turned her head to she Anthony wrestling with the turret controls, knocking Sev off, then pulling the trigger.

Monk Posts: 19 Group: Admin Member #70 Joined: July 22, 2007	"How..what..do they just approach you out right? Or does the Guild have specific guidelines for how and where and the manner in which business is conducted?" Cy asked before the ship shook roughly. At first he thought they had struck something, then the shepherd realized it was the ship's defense turrents coming online. He leaned to one side as the ship pulled in a sharp turn and it took the gravity dispensers a moment to catch up.

Administrator Posts: 419 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: September 27, 2005	Whatever was going on, whoever was chasing them, Skye hoped that Anthony and crew out ran them sooner rather than later. She didn't come on board to be put in danger and that seems to have been what had happened. She grabbed the sides of the chair, holding herself firm until the maneuver was completed before she answered Cy, "The Guild has a list of those that are black marked which we avoid. Other than that, each Companion has a list in which we keep. We advertise where we are going to be and it is up to clients to contact us. We screen who we wish to see, making sure no one else has black listed them. No one had previously black listed Lister and his profile had seemed fine. He will have a black mark now though." The last she added almost under her breath.

Monk Posts: 19 Group: Admin Member #70 Joined: July 22, 2007	"I've heard that there are those among the wealthier classes that can pay to have themselves removed from the list," Cy said. "Do you...are you ever worried that you'll be mistreated?" The ship swung around to the side. He found himself sitting on the edge of his seat. Cyriacus slid back into the chair and tried to calm himself. His hand went into the pocket of his coat. From within the depths of the coat he pulled out a worn pack of cards. With a dexterity that belied many hours of practice, Cy cut the deck and shuffled the cards back and forth in his hands.

"They would like to be able to remove themselves from the blacklist but they cannot. If they are placed on the list, it is for a very significant reason. One of those being mistreatment of Companions, another is refusing to make full payment for services rendered. It is like any other business." She paused, looking back at Cy as he shuffled the cards. "I do worry about it. I would be crazy not to be concerned that the next client might not be the most desirable of temperament."

Monk Posts: 19 Group: Admin Member #70 Joined: July 22, 2007	Cy nodded, he shuffled the cards back and forth while pondering an idea. "I don't like being cooped up on ships. I like travelling to other places but staying on ships leaves me restless, sometimes irritable..you will use this shuttle to move around. You have a freedom to move but you don't have security." The shepherd tucked the cards back in his coat. "Let me go with you. I can get out of the ship for a time. And I can watch your back.." The look she gave him made Cy aware that a refusal was on her lips. "I'll make myself scarce. I won't get in your way. I...I won't wear the collar. I know who I am without it. But if you need help, I'll be close by."

Administrator Posts: 419 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: September 27, 2005	"I..." Her words died on her lips as he added that he would make himself scarce. Skye didn't know what to think really. It wasn't what she normally did. It was true that she could sometimes do with some protection... but having that person be a man of the cloth... "I'll have to give it some thought. Maybe we could work something out. I can understand how you wouldn't like to be cooped up in a ship all the time" She felt that way herself. Having the relative freedom to go off for a time to work planet side and then meet up with the ship again later would be a blessing.

Monk Posts: 19 Group: Admin Member #70 Joined: July 22, 2007	He could sense the reason for her hesitation. "Now who is judging whose profession?" Cyriacus quipped. The ship slowed slightly. "I think I should check on my accomodations now...as much as I like your quarters." The shepherd stood to his feet. "Thank you for inviting me in," Cy said. He swung the heavy door open then exited Skylyn's quarters. Stalking through the ship, Cy was brought to a halt by a strong grip on his arm. "How friendly did it get in there? We were out here fighting and you and the whore were in there getting cozy." It was the big hulking guy. "Take your hand off of my arm," the shepherd replied coldly, "and don't call her that again." Sev's features got ugly. "Only the captain gives me orders preacher." "Take your hand off of my arm," Cy repeated slowly, his eyes locked with Sev's as he stared into the man's eyes. In his mind he projected what would happen to the man if he did not comply. Sev's eyes widened and his hand dropped to his side as he backed away from Cy. "No more name calling either," the shepherd added, his attention was drawn to movement behind him. He glanced back to find Skylyn there.
