Dulkor jumped, surprised for a moment... then absolutely furious, "What the hell! That was worth 6 million credits! How am I gonna explain this?!"

"I very much doubt it will matter very much. I have it on high authority that no one will be interested in buying that disk. " MAxwell said, with a grin this time.
"You fool..." The shadow man growled.
"Flattery will get you nowhere..." Maxwell said, wagging his finger... then suddenly, he was behind the shadowed man, holding an odd sword to his throat. Somehow, he was unable to escape the grasp. Never changing the smile on his face, Maxwell said simply "Now, explain."

"Explain what? All I did was come for the disc and you just wasted it!" he managed to shove the arm holding the blade away and slipped out of Max's grasp, turning back to face him.

Jenn watched both men through the reinforced impact plastic visor of her normal suit helmet and smiled to herself as she replaced both her knives and her hands wandered to the weapons in her thigh holsters...

"Dear dear..." Maxwell said, with a strange espression. "So then, you don't yet know it... what a shame... I'll show you, then!" with this, a cold cruel espession appeared on the mans face, as he again spotaneously moved, this time standing on top of a collapsed bulkhead 12 feet above.
"If you want to know the truth of things... I predict we'll be meeting each other again." With a grin and a snap of his fingers, he was gone.
"What the HELL?" the shadowed man growled, punching the bulkhead hard enough to leave a massive dent in the steel.

As the being known as 'Dulkor', the woman named 'Jenn', and Maxwell were in their little discussion, Aegis and the girl made their way towards the dock.
"There's a ship out there..." Aegis muttered. "How are you holding?"
"Still hurting a bit..." the girl replied.
"Sorry to have dragged you out like this," Aegis smiled. "Especially in your current condition."
"Relax, I'm alright," she answered, smiling back at the concerned Aegis. "If I lasted this long running, I can last the rest of the way."
"I could've carried you," he snickered.
"And if you did, I'd have to hurt you," she winked.
"Stubborn," he sighed, and the two made their way to the dock.

Dulkor shook his head, before looking out a nearby window.
The moon was getting VERY big.
"Shit... not enough time to get back to the dock..." he turned towards Jenn, "Er... Look, I knew we were just fighting and all, but I don't think I can make it back to my ship now with how much time that took, the military is getting ready to shoot this thing down."
"And? How's that my problem?" the woman asked.
"Look, I don't care about my ship but I'd rather not get killed here. I'm more than willing to pay you to help get me outta here."

The woman scoffed, but she somehow got a feeling in the back of her mind and sighed. "...Fine. No reason for me to be here anyway." She turned around and started running for her ship, not worrying if the man behind her would try anything.

He didn't know why, but for some reason Dulkor trusted this woman despite everything. He shrugged it off for the moment, deciding to think about it later, and just focused on keeping up with her.
Meanwhile in the dock, a small light turned on on the outside of his ship, and the airlock opened automatically.

After a couple of minutes of running, Jenn reached her ship. She looked at Dulkor, then at the door in the boarding tube. "I think you can jump that," she said, and fired her jump pack, propelling her to the airlock.

Dulkor nodded and took a running jump after Jenn, landing right on the edge of the hatch and following her in.

With Dulkor now heading towards Jenn's ship, it meant that no one would be around to see Aegis hack into the colony's hatch, and enter his ship. As the two marched in, Aegis turned back to the girl with a worried look.
"I know you have something about me carrying you," he said, "but I really wish you'd reconsider."
"You do that, I rip your manhood," she glared.
*sigh*
"Fine, fine."

As Jenn and Dulkor stood in the airlock, the door slid shut and sealed itself, then the faint sound of the boarding tube retracting itself could be heard. Jenn pulled off her jump pack and carried it with her out of the airlock.
The airlock opened into a spacious main-hall type location, which branched off to the left, right, and front. Jenn walked forward and stopped at a locker near the airlock. She opened it and put her jump pack inside, then started to undo her weapons holsters as she looked at Dulkor. "We'll be leaving as soon as I'm ready. I'm Jenn. You?"

"Dulkor," he said simply, now that Jenn could see him a bit better, there was obviously a bit of a reptilian snout sticking out from under his cloak, covered in black scales, "Thanks, I know you didn't have to let me come along, especially after what happened. I owe you one."

Something about this Dulkor made Jenn say "no problem", though she couldn't figure out what.
Jenn reached up and undid the seal on her helmet then lifted it over her head, sending a cascade of beautiful long brown hair down her back. Dulkor could see that her face was very beautiful - and slightly familiar - and that she appeared in her mid-twenties. Jenn hung the helmet up in the locker and undid the seals on her normal suit and began stripping that off as well, revealing a black tank top and short khaki shorts underneath. She hung the normal suit in the locket and started making her way to the bridge.
Dulkor could see that the way she naturally moved her hips when she walked was seductive indeed.
