RE: Escaped Convict...

Leon watched the two head down the street from atop a roof next to the hotel. He mumbles to himself.

Leon: Guess I won't be hitching a ride through that spaceport.

He makes his way back to the ground and heads to the city limit.

Small cars and cargo transports can be seen zipping in and out of the city on occasion. He walks a ways down the road. He eventually manages to stop a farmer's vehicle. The driver is decked out in John Deere cap and overalls and has wheat dangling from his mouth.

Farmer: Where you headed, sonny?
Leon: Anywhere out of town.
Farmer: Monini sound good? That's where I'm makin' a delivery.
Leon: Yup.
Farmer: Hop in.

The farmer opens the passenger side door. Leon climbs in. The craft once again takes off down the road.

RE: Escaped Convict...

Roughly six hours later, Eruantion and Amonost head back to their ships and take the cloaks off. They meet back up in the street outside the spaceport.

Amonost: Well, I guess he's not coming this way.
Eruantion: Most likely not.
Amonost: So, where do we go in search from here?
Eruantion: Well, we still have twelve cities, and about fourty towns to check in. Not to mention he could be on a farm, or in the wilderness.
Amonost: Great! Just great!
Eruantion: Yeah. That's what I thought too.

After discussing their plans of action, they go back to their ships and get some shut eye for a few hours. After they get up the next morning, they have a quick breakfast. Then they are off to the next closest town for a quick search.

RE: Escaped Convict...

Two hours after hitching a ride with the farmer, Leon is now in hyperspace on a commuter flight to Flistna.

A few hours later, the ship lands at a small starport in Morganville, Teas. He disembarks and looks around town in search of a place to stay. He eventually finds a small inn that doesn't ask questions and takes cash.

He heads up to his room, placing the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. He opens his trunk to check all his guns and makes sure they're loaded and ready. He then lies down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to determine what he's going to do and piece together what little information he has about his framing.

He soon falls asleep.

RE: Escaped Convict...

After waiting and looking for another two hours, Amonost and Eruantion return to the Vansid spaceport, frustrated.

Eruantion: We had him and now he's nowhere to be found. That's... UGH!

Eruantion hits a wall.

Amonost: I get the feeling somebody else is getting that bounty before we are.
Eruantion: I'll hit StarNet in a little bit and make sure the contract's still up. We ought to see if anybody's leaving the planet or left recently.
Amonost: Sounds good to me.

They both head to their ships and lift off, soon exiting the atmosphere. Amonost switches on his sensors.

Amonost: Got a few ion trails here and there. None of 'em look very fresh.
Eruantion: He might've left while we were still looking. Check around a little more. I'm getting on StarNet.
Amonost: Okay.

Amonost turns away while Eruantion heads directly away from the planet at a leisurely pace. A little while later, Amonost's S2S crackles.

Eruantion: Good news. Contract's still up.
Amonost: Bad news is I don't see any fresh ion trails. We're on our own.
Eruantion: Again.

Amonost lets out a frustrated noise.

Amonost: I'm off to Sunset. I need a drink and a bed to sleep in. That convict fellow could be anywhere by now, I say we get another job.
Eruantion: This is our specialty. We can't let some newbs get him by some dumb luck.

Amonost shrugs.

Amonost: We've been hunting him for three weeks. We've had two whole leads and lost them.
Eruantion: Fine. I'll see if there's anything good on StarNet to get your morale up.
Amonost: You do that.

Amonost taps a few buttons on his control panel, kicks his feet up, and lets the ship fly itself.

RE: Escaped Convict...

Hours later, Amonost is getting a restful sleep on Sunset station. He is shaken awake. He groans and rolls over.

Eruantion: We just got a subspace communique from Aaron. He saw our man heading out of a spaceport on Flistna a couple hours ago.
Amonost: Flistna's a big planet...
Eruantion: More specifically, Morganville.
Amonost: We have a city?!

Amonost is suddenly wide awake. He jumps out of bed and begins preparing to leave.

Eruantion: I got us some tickets on a T5 headed out of here so we can make a jump directly to Flistna.

Amonost looks very happy, but quickly loses it.

Amonost: How much did that cost?
Eruantion: 140 tape. And you're paying half.

Amonost groans, pulls out his wallet, and hands Eruantion 70 tape.

Amonost: Wait... Don't you sleep?
Eruantion: Only when I have to.

They proceed out of the room and to the other side of the space station, where their ships are docked.

A few minutes later...

Amonost: You're really a robot, aren't you?
Eruantion: Yes-I-am-a-robot.

They arrive at their ships and fly them around the station to the C5 Galaxy they've bought a ride on. Within a half hour, they disembark and enter hyperspace.

An hour and a half later, the ship lurches noticably, indicating exiting hyperspace. The speakers in the cargo bay blare a voice.

Pilot: Alright, we're here. Get in your ships and keep 'em clamped, 'cause the doors are opening in four minutes.

Eruantion latches his helmet back on and hops in to his ship, verifying that the docking clamps are still enabled. Amonost does the same.

A few minutes later, atmosphere is drained back into the life support system and the doors open. They release the docking clamps and exit the ship. Eruantion says "thanks" to the pilot over S2S and they proceed to the surface.


Continued.
