*I point to the tall woman in the photo*
That's my mother.... I haven't seen her in years, but that's her.
*I set the album down gently and lean against a wall*
I don't understand....

*Scatty's eyes go wide*
Scatty: W-what!?

*my eyes are shut tightly*
You heard me. That woman in the photo is my mother, she left me years ago at one of the Iron Legions castles, where I was taken in as a squire. I was six years old and I remember that day vividly

*Scatty is dumbstruck*
Scatty: I- She- Left you as a squire? At six?
*She stares between the photo and Freya with shock, comparing the two women*

*I nod*
I was never told why, I was just dropped off at the castle and then she disappeared. The Lord of the castle didn't know what to do with me, but some of the Knights volunteered to train me in the ways of the sword. That was 20 years ago...

*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: I don't understand why she would leave you with.. unless.. who was your father? Was he human?

*I shrug*
I never knew my father, and my mother never talked about him. He's probably dead for all I know.

*Scatty sits down heavily*
Scatty: We've got to go though all the just... wow...
*Stasis bomb goes off so we can better plan this out*

*I shake my head fiercely*
I need some time to think through all of this, can I trust you to not say anything until I can work through all this?

*Scatty looks up at Freya then nods*
Scatty: Alright. If you want to talk about this then.. let me know. I can't imagine what it'd be like finding this out... I mean.. you're not even human...It's like Horus all over again..
*She sighs and stands up*
Scatty: Alright, I'll not say anything to anyone until you give the okay. But you can't keep this hidden forever.

*I nod softly but don't turn around*
I know...
*I then walk off to my room*

*Scatty nods and sits in the dark and dusty library aisle, staring at the picture of Freyja for a while and thinking*

*Maiev smiles, and pats Kara's head*
M: Star Wars. Good movie.

*Scatty closes the book and goes into the kitchen where she finds Aoife and sits and talks with her (not about Freya and Freyja)*


*Iris goes to visit Miritas for a little bit after kissing Horus goodbye*
*Horus goes to the bar*

*Zinogre eats, then prowls the forest*
*Lets out a roar*

*Maggie holds Flagg after they drilled each other harder then oceans 13 drilled the foundations of the building they were robbing*

*She jumps slightly at the roar and looks at Flagg*

*Black Hawk decides to go hunting, because that's what Black Hawk does now*
*He grabs his gear and heads out the door and towards the woods. Knowing nothing about RT, the scary dragon thing of Vanden's or any of the new dangers the forest offers*
*He wonder briefly where Billy is and misses his friend a little*

*Jake staggers back to the room.*
*Has some minor cuts, and hides a horrible burn to his left side.*

---
*Rita sleeps silently next to Izriel.*

*Flagg holds Maggie close, enjoying the moment.*
*Frowns at the roar, and sighs to Maggie.*
Flagg: Wonder what that could be...

*Denny continues shooting, unknowingly of her partners wounds*

*Zinogre roars again, then stomps off to find something to fight*

*Izy remains asleep*

*Maggie kisses Flagg*

Maggie: Nothing we need to worry about.

*Runs a finer down his chest*

Maggie: Who knew sex in the forest was so good?

*npc medics help Jake and patch him up and he goes back to his room /med bay depending on zk choice. Or wherever needs to be.

*Inside the box is a huge stasis tank, with a giant of a man inside*
*He's wearing what looks like a bodysuit but what is seen of his skin is covered in old burn scars, his head is shaved and the left side of his face has a almost joker like scar on the cheek, and one over the eye and a gash on his nose*



*Morgan nods*

*Dria pauses in the doorway to the kitchen to listen*
OOC:

*miners look pretty shocked and call in security who start sending reports higher up and isolating the tunnel*

*Gharn tries getting up and winces, but manages to limp out of his room and down the medbay hall towards the main room*


*Dria continues on into the kitchen*


*Morgan nods*
Morgan: Alright.
*He looks after Dria then lowers his voice*
