*The agent steps forward for the sake of not being inside Yarrick*
The fact that you are not afraid of guns simply shows how irrational you are.

*catches the clothes and her ears twitch slightly at Maiev's comment while she gets dressed*
Ready when you are, Kadan.

*terminator*

And you wonder why we have such a... Unique relationship with inquisition....

*drinks alw*
Agmar.. Il see you at hall now this over...
*walks off with heavy's footsteps"

*yarl*
Bar that way... Barracks nigh have room for you to sleep...

Med bay over there... Sisters very good doctors.

Try not to cause trouble lads...

*walks off after back to hall to oversee guns being racked and secured in a deep underground arsenal*

...

*Maria and marilania wave to folk who just enters room and offer greetings *

*Looks a bit uncomfortable at the emotion inhibiter, but doesn't show it cause armour and veil*
Mhm...
*Floats off to be with Lyr, who gets filled in on all of the details*

*Maiev finishes getting dressed, then steps up to Kara*
*Kisses her after going on her tippy-toes, and takes her hand*
M: Lead the way yo.

~

*Denny nods*
D: Good to hear.
*Hands Oy a slice of ham, while chewing on another slice*

*Rita stands off to the side with Dt.*

-----
Jake: Hey Thoth, mind if I come in and show you something?
*Still holds the rose, but has it covered up.*

------
*Oy looks over at Horus.*
Oy: Ello.
*He starts chewing up the ham.*

*returns the kiss and smiles before putting an arm around Maiev's waist*
Of course.
*walks towards the Baneblade while humming quietly*

*Thoth shakes his head and straightens his tie*
Thoth: Not at all. Come in, please.
*He stands aside and allows Jake into the strange world that is Thoth's room. It's the size of a gymnasium, completely defying even the loose laws of of physics present in the room.
All along one wall are pickled... things in jars, with cauldrons bubbling before them. In one corner is a handmade wardrobe next to a pair of queen sized beds placed end to end.
There are ornate circles drawn in chalk on the stone floor and several huge chalkboards covered in writing in a language that predates humanity.
Finally along the back wall there are several large (Even for Thoth) writing desks and a bookshelf containing a few dozen leather bound books.
The room is lit seemingly by nothing as there are no electric lights or candles or lanterns of any sort*
Thoth: Here, allow me.
*He waves his hand a fairly comfy looking desk chair appears a few feet into the air and clatters to the floor*
Thoth: Take a seat and tell me what you need

*I pull off my helmet and scratch my head, revealing the feminine face underneath*
*I have close-cropped flame red hair and emerald green eyes*

*Maria and marilania get up and walk over as marinlia shakes long blonde hair slightly stuck on cooler of a short sleeves shirt paired with a above knee skirt*

*maria*

So.. What brings you here
..
Dr Maria, medical...

*marilania *
Welcome to the room... After a tense start...
Marilania, princess if your formal... But I prefer marilania.

*Maiev hums quietly and leans against Kara's shoulder while walking*

*I look at the 2 M's with little emotion on my face*
I was assigned here to keep an eye on those Colonial agents.

*Maria notices a familiar pattern of scars as hair so short but not give away notice*

I see.. Well welcome.. I have a shift to cover so I must leave, duty calls.

*heads to med bay*

...

*marinalia*

Aye... I know what there like.... Be careful... And goodluck

*yawns*
Sorry.... Long day... 10km swim...
Goodnight.

*vanishes in flash and goes back to ship... Undresses and goes to bed naked as no one else ever see her on library *

Ooc goodnight.

*stops and knocks on the Baneblade*
Sebastian? Are you there? I'd like to have a word with you, if you aren't busy.

*Rita walks inside, and sits on the couch. She begins eating a MRE.*

-----
*Jake nods, and takes a seat.*
Jake: Thoth... you seem to know esoteric things, maybe you can tell me a little bit of this rose.
*He reveals the rose which starts to spread infectious happiness. He then sets it on the desk in front of Thoth, it glows with a red light.*
Jake: It... is important, I know it has something to do with the tower... maybe you would know?

*I lean against the wall and just stare into the distance*

*Maiev smiles and holds onto Kara*

~

*Amelia tiredly opens the hatch*
Amy: Hmm? He isn't here at the moment...

*nods*
I see. I'm sorry for bothering you, Amelia. Have a good rest.
*turns to find Yarrick*

*Thoth seems slightly startled by the emotions bleeding towards him but delicately examines the rose*
Thoth: Hmm...
*The examination continues for several minutes then Thoth hands it back to Jake*
Thoth: I cannot say for sure, but if I had to define this, it would be as a pillar. This... rose, holds a great deal of power, and were it destroyed, I would imagine a great deal of people would be killed by it. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

*Amelia nods, then closes the door and sleeps again*

~

*Maiev follows along with her hand around Kara's shoulders, and her tail in Kara's pants*

*Jake shrugs.*
Jake: I will.. but maybe I should leave it with you. Or maybe Nicholas, somewhere safe. The rose just hid somewhere in Denny's room really isn't enough.
*He places back on Thoth's desk.*
Jake: What do you think?

*Thoth clicks his beak thoughtfully*
Thoth: Perhaps a thoroughly warded box in the lockup... That may work, and it would probably be the safest place for it as of this moment... I will not keep it near me, that I can assure you, I dislike these... emotions it seems to bleed into those near it


*Horus finishes eating but Iris is still polishing off the last of her Kale Flakes (All natural!)*
Horus: So Denny, what have you been up to lately?
*Leans back casually and attempts idle chatter*

*I scratch the scar on my head and quietly observe everyone*

*Jake frowns.*
Jake: Denny and I seem not to mind the emotions. But alright, a warded box would be nice, what do I owe you for it?
*He delicately picks up the rose.*

*Razezos turns to Ori and retracts his visor, revealing a scarred, dark-skinned face*
Colonial Credits. Physical or digital. Gold is also possible.

*walks more awkwardly with the placement of Maiev's tail*
I mean when we were done with this, then we can do whatever you want. Not before, Kadan.


*Ori nods*
O: Gold. It is universal.

*Maiev smiles and doesn't remove it*
M: You're not going to make me remove it, are you?
*Keeps walking*

*Thoth shrugs*
Thoth: I do not enjoy emotions like others do. Regardless, you do now owe me anything, but if I may, I'd like to store the rose before anything else.
*Walks over to the wardrobe and steps into it. A minute later he comes back with a metal box capable of containing the rose.
He's drawing runes and circles on it as he walks back to Jake and opens the lid*
Thoth: Here we are. Put it in, I'd rather not handle that thing any further

Jake: Alright, thanks Thoth.
*Jake looks confused.*
Jake: Is it that bad? All I feel... is happy.. when I touch it.
*He places it in the metal box.*
Jake: Alright, thanks again Thoth.
*Jake sounds a little drunk.*

*Razezos nods*
I will consult my superiors, and return if the deal goes through. Thank you for your time, Ori.
*He walks through the portal-door to the Colonies*

*Thoth nods and seals the box then begins wrapping it in large amounts of steel laced duct tape*
Thoth: Exactly. I've no time for such trivialities. You on the other hand seem intoxicated by it, all the better to seal it off
