Mission: Session Two - Space Junk
Location: Cestus Station

The guards had told Park that they had found a real catch, something that he had probably never seen before. He took this as a personal invitation since not much phased him anymore. He walked down through the degrading station, stepping over fallen pieces of metal, rusted bulkheads, conduits that were hanging from the ceiling until he reached prison sector of the old Nor class station.

"So where is this thing?" Park looked at one of the guards who had a wide red mark across his throat.

"Last cell on the left, can't miss the piece of shit, when you are done with her I want my way with her." The guard smiled at Park, who in return spit in his face.

"Shut your hole." Park moved down to the end and gazed through the bars. He owed the gorn a drink, this really was like nothing he had ever seen before.

"You talk common?"

T'ali was still dazed and confused. She had no idea where she was or how she got there. She looked around frantically pushing herself up against the far wall. She tried not to cry as she didnt remember anything, her family, her home nothing. All she remembered was her name. She didnt know her species, nothing.

She looked up at the man standing before her.

"Who are you," she said in a strange language, "who are you, what is this place".

The room she was in was small and plain and what she could tell from the outside it was the same. Barren metal walls old and worn. She remembered water, lots of water. She didnt know where it came from or why but she knew it was important.

Her attention turned back to the man infront of her. She stood slowly, something telling her she shouldn't be afraid that he was the one that should be afraid. She didn't know where the feeling was comming from but it was there, telling her that even if she was afraid not to show it. So she got to her feet and eyed the man as if he was a predator.

Stamir smiled at her, a viscious, evil grin, he could sell this thing for huge profit to any of the slave markets, she'd be a prize to anyone. He tried speaking slowly to her and got slightly closer to the bars so she could see his eyes. "You.... did you eat....." he opened his mouth and made a motion with his hand. "Do you understand what I am saying." She may be hunanoid, but so far, she had only shown signs of being slightly above an animal, a caged animal, looking to strike out. "You my sweetheart... are going to make me a lot of money."

She tilted her head slightly watching him as he spoke in a strange language.

"What do you want," she said in her strange toung but doing the same movment with her hand, maybe thats how they communcated, hand signs. She paused for a moment thinking. She touched the bars then tapped herself on the chest, her hand touching the cold black full body leather outfit she wore. She then motioned for the door as if saying she wanted to leave.

Park looked at her for a moment, trying to figure out what this savage was trying to spit out. She was kind of cute in a primitive sort of way. Maybe he would keep her as his own slave, she pointed down again and he saw the small piece of clothing on the floor, it must have fallen off during the fight earlier, he picked it up and threw it casually back into the cell. On the floor was the mush that they had tried to give her earlier, most it wasn't edible accept for the slightly rotten apple. He picked it up and handed it through the bars of the cell. "Can't have you starving before I figure out what we are going to do with you love."

She looked at the food and turned away. She understood enough to know he was trying to gain her trust. She didnt know how she knew but she knew that this man wasnt to be trusted in any way.

"Fine don't eat. If you die I'll just have your carcass mounted to my bulkhead." Park tossed the apple into the cell then took a step back for a moment to contemplate what to do, what to say to this thing. Park leaned back into the bars one last time and looked at her. "You probably can't understand this since you are only slightly above an animal, but if you play nice, I'll make sure you aren't treated too badly... if you fight.." he made a fist and hit his hand and shook his head. "I'll let that guard that you strangled have his way with you, and trust me, that would not be pleasant."

T'ali kicked the apple core out of the cage. The smell filled her nose and it made her sick to the stomach. She had a very sensative smell and everything about this place was rotten. She eyed the man as his fist hit his hand and he shook his head. Alaya took this as an agressive move . Then with lighting fast rexlexes her thin arm shot through a gap in the bars and grabbed the man by the scruff of his shirt.

"Let me go," she said in her native toung throwing him backwards to the floor, she paused for a moment then fell back horrified, she didnt know what had happen or where that came from. The moment she saw him make an agressive mode her body moved instinctively.

Park slowly picked himself off the ground and brushed the dirt off of his coat. He slowly moved over to the bars, not close enough for her to grab him but enough for her to be able to see his eyes. "If that is how you want to play it, fine. You are going to die in there.. then I'll have my dog eat you." Park gave her one last look and then walked away from the cage. The guard was feeding his face with something.

/Snort/ "Heh can I play with her now?"

"Touch her and I'll let her loose." Park left the prison block, trying to decide what he was going to do with her.
