Mission: Session 4: The Humans are Dead...
Jones sat in one of the lower corridors of the Warden. Staring at nothing in particular, listening to the hum of the engines. Jan had done a good job making the old girl purr.
Other then the occasional rat scurrying around, he was alone with his thoughts.
A quiet beeping came from his pocket and with one last drag of the cigarette he was smoking, he tossed it towards one of the larger rats. He pulled the comm out of his pocket. On the screen was a logo of the trade guild which flashed to woman.
"Captain Jones, the winds of the east greet you." The woman bowed on the screen.
"The greeting is returned in kind with the smiles of fortunes." Jones smiled at the woman.
"I am contacting you in regards to your contract to enter Lagashi space. The appropriate paperwork has been filed with the office of arbitration on Lagash, there is only one small matter left that Ms. Abano wanted me to relate to you."
Jones rubbed his face, anytime Akiko reared her ugly head it meant trouble. "And what matter does the lovely Abano care to bring to my attention."
"Ms. Abano would like to meet with you once you reach Lagash, she would like to discuss your guild responsibilities, shall I make a reservation for you?"
"Please do."
"Alright I will send the reservations to you once I confirm with the mistress" The woman on the viewer bowed and disappeared from the screen.
"What the hell does she want now." Jones put the viewer back in his coat and headed off towards the bridge to confirm the contracts and let Bruce no where to fly to.
