The figure smiles - as least it looks like one. It studies the menu, apparently being slightly displeased by the lack of really solid food.
As the waiter returns a few words can be heard: "Rock. Capsuled radiation. Heat no. VOLCANO BAKEMEAT!!! What."
"Pizza is infected with dangerous bacteria. Health hazard."
Arif tries to study the figure with his optical sensor, but can't get a good read.
"But if the voice wants to talk, it can."
Arif leans in towards his friend. "What do you reckon of that interesting character over there?"
Maid of Time
"I dunno... Maybe it's a new line of android? It is about time the Sherri line got some decent competition..."
"But yeah, I can't really free her right now when there's people around... It might cause a scene..."
i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart

The stranger waits for his "pizza.

Greg looks appalled as he hears what Dominic does. "What the...!? You snitch!" he yells, pointing at him angrily. "Ya didn't have to tell him that!"
In his fury, he almost forgets Donis, and quickly looks back at her. "Really? Huh...well, that sounds like easy money..." he smiles. Then hearing someone else speak to him, he takes a break from his greedy thoughts. "Lemme get back to you on that."
He turns and looks at the guy with the metal ball and waves him over. "Hey. Come over here."

Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.
Arif thought that was a reasonable excuse. Perhaps his sensor wasn't calibrated to that type of android.
"O-Oh!" he exclaimed. "I see. Well, this place is a bit shit. I have a place on Amada Spaceport. Nobody'll disturb us there. You know... The one just on the outside of this star system? I'll rent a light craft and we can be on our way!"
He grabs his friend and leads him to the shuttle port, where he takes them to a parked light craft. It was sporty and sleek, and looked really cool.
"You ready?" Arif gave his friend the honour of operating the craft by transferring the ignition controls to his communicator.
The man comes over and gives Greg a warm hug, "You ok?"
"How long do you think Peter will be?" He asks Dominic.
He smiles to Donis.
"I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind."
Dominic switches his communicator to loudspeaker mode in response, shrugging towards Greg. "He's gonna find out either way. Might as well." He then speaks to the comm. "Status report." In the background, there is the sound of gunfire.
"Uh..." Peter looks up briefly, ducking again when the fire resumes. "There are 3 guys remaining-" Just then, loud booming footsteps echo throughout the large room, and a metal door slides up to reveal a 3-meter white bipedal mech with a pilot inside. "Oh, dear god. They have a mech." He says, rather unnerved.
"Oh, dear god, they have a mech!" Mitch repeats, but with his glee the two might as well be saying completely different things. "You take care of the other guys. I've got this." He pats Peter's back, before tunneling underground. He pops back up behind the mech, slamming his hands down to melt the surrounding metal floor and create a stream of lava hurtling towards the mech.
-Sigh- "Well, here goes nothing." He zips to a different barricade closer to the three enemies, before throwing a kinetic bolt that knocks one of them sideways so that two of them are almost directly behind the third, and all three are in a line with Peter. He follows up with a blurry sphere that hits the second enemy, exploding in an icy blast to slow them down.
The mech starts to sink into the molten floor, quickly and heavily damaged from the extreme heat. Mitch then charges forward, tanking the machine gun fire with his own barriers before swiftly ripping the mech apart with his psionic power. "We're clear over here." He says to Dominic.
Peter jumps over the barricade, his blade glowing with energy. He slaps aside the hand of the opponent directly in front of him as he tries to fire, making the pistol shot miss, before slashing repeatedly. The strikes seem to 'spill' over to the other two, acquiring similar, if not as deep, wounds as the main target. All three are quickly downed. "Might have to meet up at the hospital. I got injured a little." He says over the comm.
Dominic just listens for a while as the two finish up. "You heard them." He says to Chris and Greg.

Near Michael (No, not that one. Not that one either.)
Ana sways a bit in time to the music. She either doesn't notice Michael look or doesn't care.
After a while, Aur enters the market.

Amada spaceport; somewhere in the Markets
Michael continued to play away and complete his song, he drew a decent size crowd and had a little money thrown towards his performance which is always nice. He took a bow to everyone before collecting what money was put his way and counting it quickly in his hand before adding it to his wallet and putting it back in his duffle bag.
Letting the crowd clear a bit, people didn't ever stop for too long in the Markets; it is one of the busiest parts of the station. Bag thrown over his left shoulder and guitar on his back he moved over to the girl he noticed earlier.
"So, urm. Did you enjoy my performance?" He said to her after approaching, a little nervously. Certainly a different composure to the confidence had while performing.
"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Near Michael
Before the performance is over, Ana hands him some money.
When he comes over, she replies;
"Yeah, you seem pretty good for your age."

Michael nods, blushing just a little.
"That's always nice to hear and performing gets me by if i'm careful." He says a hand awkwardly rubbing his neck.
Praise was always nice to hear but always felt odd for some reason.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."
A young girl, about 16, suddenly ran in, and attempts to pick Michael (The guitarist)'s pocket, but, seeing as she was still running, fails miserably, and continues on, stumbling. A man runs after her, pushing past Michael and Ana, turning and talking to Michael for a moment.
"Hey, sorry bout that. She's a bit of a klepto... Here's some money, to make up whatever she stole" He said, handing out a couple bucks of cash.

"Yeah, I-"
-Suddenly, a girl thief!-
"Oh crap- Uhh, hey!"
Ana follows the girl.

Michael almost in a daze at the two of them running past takes the money and just nods. "Um- thanks... Shouldn't we like follow her?" He said in a confused tone then looking over to where the thief was running.
Funny enough Michael didn't have anything easily accessible in his pockets; most of his stuff being in the dufflebag including his wallet but he both didn't care, he needed the money and was also in too much of a daze to even realise that.
Seeing the girl he was talking to run off to follow, Michael does so as well. Not entirely sure what he is going to do but still.

The stranger eats his pizza, paying with money he lifted on the way to here.
The girl, whose name happens to be Ness, continues running until she reaches a vendor, which she then climbs on top of and starts running across the tops of other vendor booths. Because apparently that was the best way to not get noticed. Ness didn't seem to be particularly smart.
The man, Zak, ran after her. "STOP THAT NESS, YOU'RE CAUSING A SCENE AGAIN!" He shouts up at her. "For the love of..." He says as she starts climbing on the top of the booths.

"Uhm....." Ana rolls up her sleeve. Some inky black stuff starts generating around her hand and wrist....
Meanwhile, Aur is eating a space hotdog.
What makes these things space hotdogs anyway? They don't seem particularly spacey to me.
They're made in space. That's enough. Also, girl running over stalls two o' clock. Use me?
"Huh? And no, that's a waste of time."
Forgot to mention, teal text is Aur, black text is Vincent.

Ness shouts back down at Zak something unintelligible, but it's something like "you're not my real parent" or something to that effect.'
Zak suddenly pulls out his sword, and points it at Ness, ready to fire at her if it proves necessary.

"UHH"
Ana now has enough ink stuff to make a whip/lasso type construct. She throws it at Ness in an attempt to wrap it around her legs.

Ness trips and falls from a booth, managing to catch herself with her hands before she cracks open her skull.
Zak walks up to her. "Ness, what the hell were you thinking?!" He exclaims.
Ness glares up at him defiantly. "I'm old enough to make my own damn decisions!"
"Obviously not." Zak says, grabbing her by the collar and standing her up.

Ana approaches, not sure what to do.

Zak walks over to Ana. "I apologize for my... Friend's behavior. She is quite unstable at-" "SHUT UP" "...As I was saying, she can be quite unstable." Ness is still standing and grumbling behind Zak.

"Oh... I uh... I see?"
"Should I retract my ink? You seem to have gotten this handled..."

Dominic just shoots Greg an unamused glare, before turning on the communicator in the ear. As he does this, he listens in to Michael's music, though he makes no comment for now. He also gives a nod to Chris.
"How're you two doing?" He asks over the line.
Outskirts of Amada Spaceport, inside a warehouse
"We're fine." Mitch says, simultaneously relaxed and pumped up. He shoots a kinetic missile from his hand followed by a few rounds from his assault rifle, downing an opponent in light powered armor, before going back to cover behind a barricade. His face is a little bit dusty, and his own dark beige-grey armor is faintly glowing with thin red Tron Lines.
"We are not fine! We are very not fine!" Peter shouts frantically, blocking an electrified baton strike from another enemy with his blade. The pistol shot from said person bounces off a barrier surrounding Peter, and slashes him shallowly in the stomach before bashing with the blade's handle at his head to knock him out.
"I thought you said this is just going to be 'search and seize'!" His expression basically says 'what the hell have I gotten myself into?'. He then zips behind the same barricade, his barrier thinning as it takes a few rifle rounds. He checks his black armor tinted with blue highlights for any damage, sighing when he finds none, aside from the grazed bullet wound on the side of his stomach that he seems to have acquired earlier.
"Relax, your barriers are holding up fine. And it is search and seize. The 'get shot at by bad guys' part is unspoken, you know." Mitch replies, apparently used to this. Around the two of them, there are three fighters periodically shooting suppressing fire, while four more fighters are already down. One of the remaining three calls in something.
"Well, I'd like Peter to know that Greg's just gotten himself into trouble again." Dominic says while glancing at Greg again. He continues to listen to the music from afar, tapping his foot slightly.
"Who are these three people?" He asks Donis.
