The Job

[Zero]

The face of Lucas appeared near the mercenaries, but this time it had a stern look on it's face. A lot had happened and Lucas knew now that he had no other choice but to enact the stratagem the book had informed him might be required. So the illusion of him said. "Mercenaries, I have a job offer for you. A simple job. But I only need about 3 of you for this mission. And none of your new recruits, I want seasoned ones. Your job will be to escort a friend of mine to Elemora, protect him as he searches for some things and help him learn how to fight more efficiently. Also you will not tell him I hired you as a bonus." There was no trace-able magical signature as Lucas had learned how to suppress his completely so that it could not be detected by Interpol, their lackies or the Anrufe. Neither of which he was fit to run into at the moment in time.

"Whats the pay?" Johnny asked, eyeing the hologram. "And what're we supposed to tell him, if not that you hired us?"

[Zero]

"Make something up as to why you are with him. And 10,000 credits for each one. The person is the son of someone you worked for at one time, Rezick Dolos. However now his son needs protection since Interpol is after him and causing trouble that I have no time to handle on my own." said the hologram. "I am busy making the preparations for him to handle Interpol and the Black Guard at the same time simultaneously. "

"Like what? 'Oh, hey, I know you've totally got no idea who we are, but we know of a bunch of what'chamawhozits you might be interested on some planet, and we've gotta take you there for a reason we cant tell you'? Whats wrong with him knowing you sent us?" Keira said, appearing next to Johnny as he scowled.
"Keira, how long've you been right behind me?"
"Oh, past hour or so, I think. Something like that."
Under his breath, Johnny growled that she was a crazy-stalker-something-indeciferable.

"Look. Let's just say that Carl hates my guts. And would sooner impale me with the nearest weapon than talk to me for up to 2 seconds. I suspect he will head to Elmora. But I want you to make sure you are with him, and keep him safe from the elementals there. From the files Zane gave me they don't much like tech-crafts or those who don't use magic. But I did manage to get enough details on their clothing to form appropiate disguises for the three that will go. " said the lucas illusion as it waited.

OOC:Where did you get that Elementals dont like Tech users/non mages? They're just neutral, really. They dont necessarily like them, but they dont dislike them either.

"Hm, well, its not bad pay...Eh, sure, why not. Mind if we bring a fourth person along? She's not the strongest, no, but she isn't combat either. And seeing as, for some reason, Im always in a squad with Keira and Sam anyways, thats three already, so I just wanna know if we can bring the fourth."
"Yaaaay!"
"Damnit, Keira, just dont get TOO annoying, alright?"

[Zero]

(Way you treated WWB and my chars)

"Four then. But no new recruits. Seasoned veterans. I would advise you to intercept Carl on Duerme before he gets off planet, because his way of travel tends to be a bit hard to follow. Oh and also..." Elemental robes appeared near each of them, each one a different style of elemental clothing, modern. Lucas had went and bought these from the elementals. He had also added an enchantment to make the wearer seem like the elemental they were masquerading as.

"Arright. Now then, first things first, lets find Sam and Flora, see if they wanna go."
"Go where?" Sam said, walking in behind him.
"Contract. We're helpin' some person get some stuff on some world. We're a escort, I guess."
She shrugged, and said,"Cool. Lets go ask Hiro about using the Dark Heart. We'll need it, after all. Speaking of which, where is this guy we need to protect, anyway?"
"Some place called Duerme."
She shrugged, and the three walked off, finding Hiro. They asked about the Dark Heart, and Hiro said,"Sure. Just make sure you get a pilot."
"Yep. We're looking for Flora."
"Good thinking, she seemed bored lately. Maybe this'll cheer her up."
The three found Flora, wearing her green, floral patterned kimono, at the topic of the bunker, in what the Mercs called her 'Tower'. "Oh, Johnny, Sam, hello! Where's Keira? She's usually n-"
"She's close, Princess. I can feel it. Crazy invisible..." Johnny said, not even looking around.
"Aaaanyways, we wanted to know if you'd like to come along with us on a contract. Escort mission while he finds some stuff."
Her face brightened at the thought of exploring with some of her friends. "Sure, I'd love to go along!"
"Good, yer driving. Come on, we need to leave soon. Better get going while we can, heh."

The elemental outfits, an earth for flora, a light for Keira, a fire for Jonny and a dark for Hiro appeared near them. Lucas also materialized and sighed. "You four will have to drag him onto your ship likely. I doubt Interpol would be stupid enough to attack you here, I hope..."

Hiro looked at the robes for a moment, unsure of what they were doing there in front of him, and just kept doing whatever it is he was doing, considering he wasn't on the mission.

"Eh, I dont really think we'll need disguises. In any case, Im doubtful it'll matter whether we've got 'em or not. They'll recognise the guy we're protecting, no doubt, so if there's violence, well, you hired us for a reason. Besides, I never really liked red all too much anyways. If thats all, then, lets get going!"

[Zero]

"Alright." Lucas materialized a data pad with Carl's coordinates. "Go there and pick him up. I recommend sending the friendliest member of your team since he has suffered two losses in a single month or more, meaning he is unstable. When I tried to calm him he nearly sent me into a blackhole. He is like you in a way linked to his book."
