"This is the corporate office of Ethan Verone. A large and light, well ventilated room in the corporate hangar on the station floor of Augnais VI - Moon 1 - Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Production. As you enter, you're greeted by skim-plastered whitewashed walls, with a deep red short pile carpet tiled floor. The wall opposite to your door is comprised of three huge vacuum sealed floor to ceiling windows looking out over the hangar floor below, where corporate hangar staff busy themselves cleaning and re-arming a battle scarred Enyo class Assault Frigate which bears the Veto Corp Emblem airbrushed on it's crimson armored plating, the call sign "Surge" similarly stamped in deep crimson beneath it.A large heavy repair scaffold surrounds the craft, with a seperate scaffold tower supporting it's forward "lance". Several welding and cutting torches can be seen at work repairing and replacing damaged plating and components as the ship glows in a slight green haze of frenzied nanites that surge across it's surface sealing breaches and imperfections in the outer hull and armor.In the center of the room stands a glass topped sturdy looking aluminum framed desk, the polished reflective surface adorned with several loose sheets of paper, two crystal tumblers and a sealed bottle of whiskey rest beside the paperwork. A touchscreen displaying a still image of the Veto corp logo sits on the desk and three typical silver steel, glass fronted filing cabinets stand against the left wall of the room, neatly stacked and filled with labelled data disks and holoreels, completing the room's matching furnishings. A high back black leather chair sits behind the desk facing into the room, A comfortable looking low backed black leather chair faces it, at an angle at the closer side of the desk." by Verone  [ 2007.01.20 02:26:40 ] Verone > /emote enters through the door, smiling broadly > Step into my office...

[ 2007.01.20 02:39:19 ] Two Ghosts > And thank you, both, for sparing the time to see me. [ 2007.01.20 02:39:43 ] Naphtalia > I haven't told Ethan a great deal.. I would like him to hear your story from your lips.. for some reason your story moved me and I was unable to put it in words..

[ 2007.01.20 02:44:25 ] Two Ghosts > I have deserted my home, all my previous loyalties. [ 2007.01.20 02:44:47 ] Two Ghosts > I am, you might say, living a lie at the moment ... [ 2007.01.20 02:45:20 ] Verone > /emote smiles, a look of intrigue in his eyes > howso? [ 2007.01.20 02:45:31 ] Two Ghosts > I am ... a widow ... thought I was never married.

I have no shame, save the shame I bear as a coward in the face of my lover's execution. [ 2007.01.20 02:48:15 ] Two Ghosts > /emote pauses for a difficult moment. [ 2007.01.20 02:49:24 ] Two Ghosts > /emote looks between the two lovers. [ 2007.01.20 02:49:27 ] Verone > /emote nods his eyes still fixed on the amarrian with intrigue [ 2007.01.20 02:49:48 ] Two Ghosts > Though it shames me also to say this ... [ 2007.01.20 02:50:26 ] Naphtalia > /emote keeps her eyes rested on the Amarrian [ 2007.01.20 02:50:27 ] Two Ghosts > My need is great ... my time is close, and the child that I bear will need a family ... it is for this that I search. [ 2007.01.20 02:50:59 ] Two Ghosts > /emote holds her head erect [ 2007.01.20 02:51:35 ] Verone > /emote glances to naph, before returning his attention to the speaking woman [ 2007.01.20 02:51:48 ] Naphtalia > /emote regards her quietly for a few moments [ 2007.01.20 02:52:23 ] Naphtalia > The ... [ 2007.01.20 02:52:27 ] Naphtalia > /emote compeses herself [ 2007.01.20 02:52:57 ] Two Ghosts > I bear the child of Joshua Kalina ... he will need more than just I can give him in this world ... he will need a community. [ 2007.01.20 02:53:10 ] Two Ghosts > I search for this. [ 2007.01.20 02:53:17 ] Naphtalia > /emote smiles > Could you tell us again, what you said earlier.. about.. Joshua.. about what you fight for.. and what you won't.. [ 2007.01.20 02:53:40 ] Two Ghosts > /emote flashes her eyes at Naphtalia [ 2007.01.20 02:53:55 ] Verone > /emote glances to naph, rubbing his chin with the his index finger in thought [ 2007.01.20 02:54:26 ] Naphtalia > And why you approached me.. of all people.. [ 2007.01.20 02:55:06 ] Naphtalia > /emote glances up at Ethan for a few moments [ 2007.01.20 02:55:18 ] Two Ghosts > I will fight for my freedom, and for that of our child and his father's heritage ... I will fight for all that my heart tells me is truth ... i spit in the face of the lies i have endured, and i turn away from everything that my heart disavows. [ 2007.01.20 02:56:08 ] Two Ghosts > /emote stops herself, considering Naphtalia's question. [ 2007.01.20 02:56:32 ] Naphtalia > /emote nods > I know it is painful, maybe I should have told Ethan, more of your background, instead of putting you through this again... my appologies.. *sits back in her seat and listens again* [ 2007.01.20 02:56:43 ] Two Ghosts > /emote murmers > Why did I approach you? [ 2007.01.20 02:56:50 ] Verone > /emote glances to the amarrian with a look of intrigue > tell me more about joshua, if you're able, elleanor [ 2007.01.20 02:57:00 ] Two Ghosts > /emote looks at her hands for a moment. [ 2007.01.20 02:57:11 ] Naphtalia > /emote glances up at Ethan and nods [ 2007.01.20 02:57:26 ] Two Ghosts > /emote looks up at Ethan, and then to Naphtalia ... [ 2007.01.20 02:57:40 ] Naphtalia > /emote smiles warmly at Elleanor and nods [ 2007.01.20 02:57:59 ] Naphtalia > He and Revan are.. of different backgrounds... [ 2007.01.20 02:58:00 ] Two Ghosts > Naphtalia ... I approached you because my heart spoke well of you, though I do not know why ... [ 2007.01.20 02:58:24 ] Two Ghosts > Ethan, I will not speak to you of Joshua ... forgive me. [ 2007.01.20 02:59:01 ] Verone > /emote smiles > i can appreicate the pain of the loss of a loved one, i have the pain of three... i'll question you no more [ 2007.01.20 02:59:28 ] Two Ghosts > /emote blinks and then nods solemnly at Ethan. [ 2007.01.20 03:00:12 ] Naphtalia > /emote shifts in her seat > Elleanor, we have exchanged messages, you said you had some more questions for me.. and you know I still have one question for you... [ 2007.01.20 03:00:37 ] Two Ghosts > /emote returns her attention to Naphtalia ... [ 2007.01.20 03:00:50 ] Naphtalia > /emote scratches her eyebrow glancing at the Amarrian [ 2007.01.20 03:01:20 ] Two Ghosts > Yes, I have questions ... though I would not question you, lady. As for your own question ... please ask. [ 2007.01.20 03:02:08 ] Naphtalia > /emote smiles > You know the question, whose answer you have been delaying.. but please.. ask me what you want.. In a family, we have no secrets.. [ 2007.01.20 03:02:52 ] Verone > /emote raises an eyebrow, a look of confusion on his face [ 2007.01.20 03:03:37 ] Two Ghosts > /emote leans forward in her chair ... she searches Naphtalia's eyes ... [ 2007.01.20 03:03:48 ] Naphtalia > /emote returns the gaze warmly [ 2007.01.20 03:03:56 ] Two Ghosts > I have two ... [ 2007.01.20 03:04:11 ] Two Ghosts > And they are hard, I think. [ 2007.01.20 03:04:29 ] Naphtalia > /emote nods [ 2007.01.20 03:04:56 ] Two Ghosts > Why did my heart tell me that you were the one I should speak to? .... and ... [ 2007.01.20 03:05:07 ] Two Ghosts > Why did you speak to me? [ 2007.01.20 03:06:39 ] Two Ghosts > /emote sits quite still. [ 2007.01.20 03:07:02 ] Naphtalia > I wouldn't dare to speculate on your heart Elleanor, but as to your second question... a few reasons.. firstly, the callsign you approached me with intrigued me, secondly you were pressing to see me wether I was recruiting or not.. I had to invite you.. [ 2007.01.20 03:07:25 ] Two Ghosts > You did not. [ 2007.01.20 03:07:40 ] Two Ghosts > Forgive me, but that is not the truth. [ 2007.01.20 03:07:56 ] Naphtalia > /emote looks puzzled at the Amarrian > It isn't... [ 2007.01.20 03:08:20 ] Two Ghosts > /emote smiles at Naphtalia, warmly, openly ... [ 2007.01.20 03:08:31 ] Two Ghosts > No, Naphtalia ... [ 2007.01.20 03:08:35 ] Verone > /emote scratches his head again, glancing to naph [ 2007.01.20 03:08:55 ] Naphtalia > /emote glances up at Ethan before returning her eyes on the Amarrian listening [ 2007.01.20 03:09:03 ] Two Ghosts > You were not bound to see me. Who am I? And who are you? We are worlds apart, are we not? [ 2007.01.20 03:09:13 ] Naphtalia > /emote nods > Yes.. [ 2007.01.20 03:09:55 ] Two Ghosts > And so, you did not have to invite me ... and yet you did ... that is a question. Why? [ 2007.01.20 03:10:15 ] Naphtalia > /emote sits back in her seat contemplating [ 2007.01.20 03:11:01 ] Naphtalia > /emote squeezes Ethan's fingers lightly with her entwined fingers [ 2007.01.20 03:11:02 ] Two Ghosts > /emote sits back also, placing her hands gently over her swollen stomach. [ 2007.01.20 03:11:41 ] Two Ghosts > /emote seems oddly at peace with these two dangerous lovers. [ 2007.01.20 03:12:17 ] Naphtalia > /emote speaks soflty > I don't know Elleanor... I just did what I think I had to do.. It wasn't like I... *frowns at her own words and composes herself* [ 2007.01.20 03:12:52 ] Two Ghosts > /emote nods slowly ... [ 2007.01.20 03:13:10 ] Verone > /emote still remains in a stunned silence, watching the exchange between the two [ 2007.01.20 03:13:15 ] Two Ghosts > *very quietly* I know, Naphtalia ... it was for me also. [ 2007.01.20 03:13:50 ] Two Ghosts > /emote looks to Ethan, and smiles to him. [ 2007.01.20 03:14:06 ] Naphtalia > /emote inhales deeply and lessens the tight grip on his fingers [ 2007.01.20 03:14:51 ] Verone > /emote glances to naph momentarily with a warm smile, before returning his attention to the exchange of words [ 2007.01.20 03:15:18 ] Two Ghosts > *again she murmers* we are all just children. [ 2007.01.20 03:16:43 ] Naphtalia > /emote sits quietly in thought [ 2007.01.20 03:16:58 ] Verone > i uh... [ 2007.01.20 03:17:12 ] Verone > /emote scratches his head, seemingly still lost for words [ 2007.01.20 03:17:28 ] Two Ghosts > /emote chuckles ... [ 2007.01.20 03:17:32 ] Naphtalia > /emote glances up at Ethan and smiles at him [ 2007.01.20 03:17:47 ] Two Ghosts > I don't know either. [ 2007.01.20 03:18:00 ] Naphtalia > /emote nods and looks back at Elleanor... [ 2007.01.20 03:18:41 ] Naphtalia > Elleanor... it is unique for a pregnant amarrian to ask a Gurista for sanctuary... We can't offer much in that regard and our life is a dangerous life... [ 2007.01.20 03:19:08 ] Naphtalia > It is also not something really a Gurista would do.. but I see something.. [ 2007.01.20 03:19:12 ] Two Ghosts > I understand that, Naphtalia ... but, I have become accustomed to danger. [ 2007.01.20 03:19:19 ] Naphtalia > /emote nods [ 2007.01.20 03:19:32 ] Verone > /emote rubs his hand against his forehead, seemingly deep in thought [ 2007.01.20 03:20:08 ] Naphtalia > /emote glances up at Ethan and looks in his eyes [ 2007.01.20 03:20:21 ] Two Ghosts > /emote also looks to Ethan. [ 2007.01.20 03:20:29 ] Two Ghosts > Ethan ... [ 2007.01.20 03:21:22 ] Verone > /emote opens his mouth, but no words seem to appear from it [ 2007.01.20 03:21:44 ] Verone > /emote sighs, seemingly confused [ 2007.01.20 03:21:54 ] Two Ghosts > You have the love of a strong woman .... I know what that means ... but, when he is born, my son will need ... [ 2007.01.20 03:22:23 ] Two Ghosts > He will need more than the love of a strong mother ... [ 2007.01.20 03:22:26 ] Naphtalia > /emote slowly rises from her chair and faces him looking him in the eyes affectionatly [ 2007.01.20 03:22:56 ] Two Ghosts > He will need role models ... he will need strong men in his life, also. [ 2007.01.20 03:23:34 ] Verone > /emote raises an eyebrow, his mouth still slightly open [ 2007.01.20 03:23:46 ] Naphtalia > /emote leans forward and whispers in his ear [ 2007.01.20 03:24:12 ] Two Ghosts > /emote perhaps regrets her words ... perhaps. [ 2007.01.20 03:24:24 ] Verone > /emote glances to naph, smiling slightly > i uh... i'm lost for words [ 2007.01.20 03:24:42 ] Naphtalia > /emote looks a big concerned at Ethan [ 2007.01.20 03:24:57 ] Two Ghosts > Such is the way of things, Ethan. [ 2007.01.20 03:25:34 ] Two Ghosts > But when your own sons are clamouring for attention, you better find words, and strong ones too. [ 2007.01.20 03:25:37 ] Two Ghosts > /emote grins [ 2007.01.20 03:25:39 ] Verone > /emote glances to the amarrian with a confused expression > what exactly, in... the most simple of terms are you asking here? I uh... i'm somewhat confused [ 2007.01.20 03:26:14 ] Two Ghosts > /emote sighs and again looks at her hands for a moment ... [ 2007.01.20 03:26:31 ] Naphtalia > /emote glances over her shoulder at Elleanor [ 2007.01.20 03:27:17 ] Verone > i uh... well, lets put it this way, i'm probably the bluntest person in the constellation right now... so, just uh... give this to me straight, okay? i'm ... pretty confused [ 2007.01.20 03:27:22 ] Two Ghosts > I am asking for a home for my son ... a safe place where I can bear him, raise him ... and a community of people whose hearts are true ... a people who we can both belong with. [ 2007.01.20 03:28:02 ] Two Ghosts > /emote smiles gently at Ethan's confusion. [ 2007.01.20 03:28:27 ] Naphtalia > /emote speaks soflty > She wants to join the Black Rabbits as a Gurista... [ 2007.01.20 03:28:38 ] Verone > /emote glances to naph with a raised eyebrow, a slight smile curling his lips for a second before fading > shit... i uh... [ 2007.01.20 03:28:44 ] Verone > /emote grins > ah, nevermind... [ 2007.01.20 03:28:54 ] Naphtalia > /emote grins with a smile of realisation [ 2007.01.20 03:28:56 ] Two Ghosts > /emote snorts quietly [ 2007.01.20 03:29:15 ] Naphtalia > /emote smiles broadly and kisses his lips [ 2007.01.20 03:29:16 ] Two Ghosts > /emote smiles fondly at Ethan, and then to Naphtalia. [ 2007.01.20 03:29:38 ] Two Ghosts > You are lucky, sister. [ 2007.01.20 03:29:50 ] Verone > /emote accepts the kills, still smiling, before he turns away for a second, glancing out of of the window as he mutters quietly to himself > holy fucking hell [ 2007.01.20 03:29:51 ] Two Ghosts > And happy, I see. [ 2007.01.20 03:30:16 ] Naphtalia > /emote smiles discreetly as she sits down unable to hide her amusement [ 2007.01.20 03:30:33 ] Two Ghosts > /emote stifles a giggle. [ 2007.01.20 03:30:56 ] Verone > /emote clears his throat, turning to face the room again as he straightens out his shirt collar, a slight smile on his face [ 2007.01.20 03:31:02 ] Verone > I uhhh...
