The MRB TP/Ornia Pt1-2

[coon.27@osu.edu]

Ornia looks to Mathias and nearly stands up as her ale arrives and is quiet
upset now "Look I realise you are doing your job, but by fidigeting over
who I am talking and drinking with only keeps you from your job!" she picks
up the ale and starst to down it rapidly and then loosk to Ilsabet a bit
with a look of appoligy on her face


The nearest Guard pales as the looks at the Harkonnen guards before
returning his gaze to Mathias.

, "My Lady, if I am not welcomed here, I shall go. It would be a shame as
well that one guard can mess up the complete relationships of two houses.
Especially since there has been many positive talks with Lord Valerian
lately.:



Ilsabet slips out of the booth. "Now I have business I could finish up back
at the embassy. If you still wish my company my Lady, you are invited to
come back with me."

The guard then moves slowly towards the exit and leaves. Mathias looks over
the Harkonnen woman for a moment and then steps back towards the bar.
 Ornia looks to Ilsabet and sighs a bit "I am sorry, but it looks like this
is not working out, maybe we can try and talk later?" she loosk annoyedly
at Mathias

Ilsabet turns towards Mathias, "If he wishes, he can come as well to insure
my Lady's safety. And to prove that the Harkonnen's do not wish harm upon
those of the Ginaz."
 has disconnected.

 Ornia sighs and then moves to Ilsabet and husg to her lightly whispering
to her something quickly and then pulsl back to look to Mathias "Pay the
Lounge for my ale and we will be going."

Mathias crosses his hands and then lets out a thin smile. "Very well,
m'Lady....as you wish...."

 Ornia says, "ok. Let move"
Ilsabet nods, "Certainly my Lady."
 Ornia stands up and then moves for the door and smiles to Ilsabet "Talk later."

Lobby -- Imperial Hotel (Kaitain)
Upturned lamps line the walls of the spacious room at regular
intervals bathing the room in a subdued light. A gold pattern of
lions runs through the deep burgundy carpet. Near the center of the
room a settee surrounds a marble fountain. Attendants are
placed throughout the lobby, waiting on the pleasure of the hotel patrons.

Circle of Stars -- Central District (Kaitain)
A tree-lined roadway opens into a similiarly lined cul-de-sac. Consuming
the whole back half is a large off-yellow brick building. In front
of the building, before the main entrance, is a pair of golden
lions, resting as they watch over all who passes. Several different
flags float above the main entrance and extend the length of the
building. In the middle of the cul-de-sac is a marble archway
sitting on an island in the middle of a shallow pool of water.

City Center -- Central District (Kaitain)
A 200-meter tall statue of a lion dominates the City Center. The
lion, rearing up on its hind legs and roaring toward the north, appears to
be made of polished gold. A narrow road passes under the statue and
directly through the small park surrounding the lion's feet. Around
that is a multi-lane traffic circle, with wide tree-lined avenues leading
to the four corners of the city... and the Universe.

enter staffcar
Harkonnen Staffcar
The soft leather seat can sit three comfortably and molds perfectly to the
form of the occupants. Tinted meta-glass windows help keep out the glare of
the sun and lights coming off the many building


 Ornia settles into the staffcars seats and crosses her legs and looks to
Mathias a bit "Please do not offer too much annoyance dear. I will see you
compensated for this favor."

. "Perhaps My Lady would like to try another vintage of Harkonnen wine when
we arrive?"

Mathias remains standing on the curb for a moment, his hands folded in
obvious concern. He turns to his guards, Speaking in Lear he says,
"............." He sighs and steps in the the car.
The limousine pulls away from the remainder of the entourage of guards as
soon as the door is closed behind Mathias.

 Ornia smiles just a bit and nods "I would not mind that at all." she loosk
to Ilsabet for a bit and trys to smile to Mathias a bit and reassure him.


It is a standard limousine, implements of Harkonnen indulgance located at
easy to reach areas within the passenger compartment. Tubes of powder,
brandies, and gels. The passenger compartment is closed off from the
driver's compartment for purposes of privacy of the nobles inside.

 Ornia says, "I knew harks were odd, but man they really kinky types it seems"
 Ornia blinks some as she looks at the assortment of things in the staffcar
adn then turns to Ilsabet "What is all the extra stuff for?" she asks in
curiosty.

 Ilsabet answers her question. She touches each of the containers nearest
her in turn. "To sniff for a euphoric feeling, to drink, and for sex."

Mathias nods as he surveys the interior a bit, "no...nothing for me...thanks..."

 Ornia laughs ajust a bit and then looks to Mathias "Go ahead if you wish
to have a drink." Ornia she smiles and then eyes Ilsabet "I presume you
would not use anythign but maybe a drink before you conduct bussiness?" she
then asks "Well I want to know more fo this Lady Zeliara you speak so much
of since we are in more privacy."

Ilsabet shrugs slightly. "As I am not of the Harkonnen line, I...do not
quite indulge in the same wa? Oh, you will most certainly enjoy her
company. She is quite...experienced...in a great many things."

 Ornia with a frown and then leans back as he looks at the road ahead.
 Ornia laughs "Well just a chance to meet her once would be intresting
enough for now." she seems to look out the window wounder how much longer
the ride will be.
Ilsabet raises an eyebrow. "I would think that the Great House Ginaz could
provide you with ample di will be a treat indeed, I'm certain."
 Ornia blinks "Well rightnow I am here and my brothers are off fighting."
she luaghs "Distracts are few and far between."

Mathias shakes his head, "I hope you some day realize the enormous
sacrifice your brothers are making. For all Ginaz...."
,
Ilsabet smiles at that. "I must agree with your guardsman, My Lady. I think
that they have earned themselves the right to call themselves 'noble' with
that action alone."

There is a very soft popping sound that seems to be coming from under one
of the seats.
Mathias leans foward and pops his head up, curiously.

An instant later, as if nearly by magic, the entire compartment is flooded
with a pinkish gas...a thick gas that obscures even vision. looks to
Mathias and frowns "If I could be there I would not be here, but I am here
on Kaitain as he has asked. While he is doing what needs to be done, I am
not just going to sit by idly and wait on him to come back." she sighs and
then loosk to Ilsabet "Would you say I am wrong...." she blinks and loosk
about at the popping noise and then to Mathias as if expeting him to have
some comment and her hand slipping to the shield generator she has in the
folds of her skirt
A raging explosion erupts from somewhere behind the vehicle, the sound
shattering to the ear.

With an obvious scratching of metal to metal in what is an obvious
unsheathing of a dagger, Mathias leans forward and cuts the throat of a
Harkonnen in the front seat. With the other hand, he pulls on the latch but
can't get the door open. Choking and coughing, he continues, again trying
to lean foward towards the driver but but does so unsuccessfully and falls
over onto the backseat.

 Ornia flips up her shield, but coughs a good bit from the gas "What is
this she screams!" and trys to locate Mathias." and then drops to a huddled
mass at the explosion, fear definatly takeing over

 Ornia coughs a bit more before she just falls to the floor as the gas
konocks her out completly, her shield haveing gotten up though.

The sliced guard can only gurgle and flay his arms around the front
compartment. The driver pushes a button on his console and the back
compartment begins to clear up, a vacuum in the works.

Another explosion bursts fourth from the sky raining shards of fire and
metal upon the area below.

The bloody man in the front seat slows down considerably, then stops moving
altogether. Blood is spattered over the seats in front, the windshield, and
the remainder of the separator between the front and rear compartments. The
driver gives a brief moment to inspect the back before he speeds up and
turns an abrupt corner.
Ornia 's body is shifted about in the back, her shield doing its job of
proecting her from a lot of the possible debis in the rear compartment, but
she does not stir or wake.
The locks on the rear doors click open as the vehicle comes to a stop.
Nothing can be seen out through the windows due to the darkness of the
place where they have stopped.
 doe snot move nor deos she hear the locks

One of the back doors opens and a shielded man peers in, a stunner in his
hand. His eyes focus on Mathius even as the opposite door opens and another
man peers in, his eyes focusing on the two women.

 Someone drags her limp form out, followed quickly by Ilsabet. Little care
is taken to make it a comfortable maneuver. Both will wake up with
abrasians and bruises.
Ornia 's shield finnaly goes off as her body is dragged and the dress she
wears is torn too somewhat.
The doors are closed once again, though the armed man lingers a little
longer as if thinking things over. In the end, he chooses not to kill the
guard outright...maybe later.

The limousine speeds away, light again filtering in through the windows.
The driver speaks into his communicator, "Alpha complete. Going about my
orders," he says, his voice bearing the accent of one who has never left
Marcinko.

The driver presses down on the accelerator, the vehicle picking up speed.
"Ahhh...almost over but for the crying, eh?"


The man behind the wheel wipes at some blood on the seat next to him, the
body having been removed at the stop. "Your sacrifice was a noble one, my
friend..."

 The driver presses down on the accelerator, the vehicle picking up speed.
"Ahhh...almost over but for the crying, eh?""

Mathias moves his head a bit and swallows hard as he attempts to breath
easy. He surveys the area for Ornia  but only sees the backseat in
disarray.
Mathias looks up slowly, realizing there is only a driver who can't see him
completely.

The driver seems content to drive at the moment, watching the road and
driving normally.

Quietly, and slowly, Mathias moves a little closer to the back of the
driver's seat and out of view.
The driver takes in a deep breath, apparently becoming bored since the
excitement has died down. "Now, what to do with you, dog," the driver muses
to himself.
With a piece of Ornia's torn dress, Mathias swings it around the driver's
neck and pulls the his neck back.Whispering in his ear his says "Now
Harkonnen pig....unless you don't want to be splatter of blood yourself.
Pull the vehicle over and stop..."

The driver makes a sick croaking sound as he tries to breath, one hand
coming up reflexively to try to loosen the grip of the thing around his
neck and the other hand making a desperate attempt to keep driving.
"Should....killed you, yo..."


Mathias leans foward a bit more and grips the material enough now to see
the man's face and attire. ....where have you taken her..."

"The Brotherhood will avenge me," the driver says as he speeds up.

With that moment of acceleration, Mathias loses grip and falls back onto
the seat. In a panic he reaches arround the man's neck with his right arm
while trying to reach for the steering wheel. "Stop this vehicle!" he
shouts.

With that moment of acceleration, Mathias loses grip and falls back onto
the seat. In a panic he reaches arround the man's neck with his right arm
while trying to reach for the steering wheel. "Stop this vehicle!" he
shouts.

The man seems to have no intention of stopping, in fact he speeds up to
such a degree that just trying to keep control of such a vehicle is
difficult. "I take you with me," he forces out through the pain of the hold
that the guardsman has his neck in...surely on the verge of breaking.

With his right leg, Mathias kicks part of the partition down. As the car
speeds up and hits rough terrain, he has difficulty getting into the front
seat. He then lets go of the driver and grabs onto the steering wheel with
both hands. "You want die! Well then....lets do it right! Mathias, now with
an angry look on his face, then with his left foot, pushes down on the
accelerator as well.

The driver's eyes go wide as he tries to jerk the steering wheel back in
his direction. "YOU MAD BASTARD!" he yells at the top of his lungs. Then
his eyes widen even more, focusing on something through the windshield...

The driver's will and courage toward martyrdom seem to have caved in
completely as the look of utter horror spreads quickly across his face.


Mathias looks at the driver, his eyes narrowed. He then switches abruply,
by applying the brake. Out of control the car swurves to one side. Mathias
then lets go of the steering wheel and delivers a blow to the driver's
temple with his right hand.

Letting out an abrupt and startled 'gah' sound as the hand hits the
sensitive part of his skull, his head careens into the drivers' side window
and rocks backward as the man loses consciousness and may very well be on
his way to dying. The vehicle, meanwhile, skids and begins scraping along a
wall, sparks beginning to fly from the friction of it all.

The vehicle slowly comes to a stop after hitting other parked cars and
buildings. Mathais begins looking through the drivers pockets but finds
nothing. After a few minutes of struggling with the door it creaks open and
now won't close. Mathias leaves the vehicle.
