Continuing and equally well-advised adventures

[tobeajedi]

[At long last, Vima and Rex have reached the next station. It seems like they've wound up in the countryside--there's lots of vaguely bluish wheat waving around the station, some buildings and shiny silos that look like a town.

It's hard to say if it's closer to Vima's time or Rex's time. Really, it all looks extremely innocuous. If someone went out of their way to build an innocent little farming community, this is probably the kind of picture they would paint.]

Hm... looks like we're in the middle of nowhere. [Vima puts on her train worker's vest again.] But I've got a funny feeling this place isn't as pointless as it looks.

Kriff it. I'm not spending the rest of my life in some off-planet prison, [ Rex swears, and wastes no time leaping into action. He prefers not to kill those whose only crime is technically doing their jobs so he switches his blasters to stun - but make no mistake, the moment he thinks that lethal measures are necessary, he's not going to hesitate to do what has to be done. It's been a long time since killing has made him squeamish and, quite frankly, most of the clankers he destroys are just doing their jobs too. It doesn't stop him from putting a hole right through their systems anyway.

A blaster in each hand, he takes his shot, shooting with the sort of quick efficiency that betrays his being accustomed to fielding much larger swaths of enemies than this. Shaking, a few of the guards crumple to the ground. ]

My blasters are on stun, [ he yells above the noise. ] Choose your fight wisely, boys. Let us go, and it will stay that way.
