Wait...even without the hat, I still have my really big gun IE: This one

And seeing as how it fires 13mm silver explosive bullets, I'd not touch the hat thank you very much...
and here is the next episode!
Mankowski walked down the hallways, nodding slightly at every fucking Agamemnon crew member that walked past him. Arrogance seemed to leek off them like smoke. He got to the shuttle bay and opened the door, using the key card Keller had given him. A technician who seemed more interested in the woman's buttocks he was feeling up, jumped as Mankowski walked into the room. The woman pulled her shirt down to cover her bellybutton, looking only slightly sheepish.
├óÔé¼┼ôCan I help you?├óÔé¼┬Ø The man asked, putting an annoying emphasize on help, as if it were an epitaph. ├óÔé¼┼ôYes├óÔé¼┬Ø Mankowski said ├óÔé¼┼ôI was just wondering if you've gotten this shuttle fueled?├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôYes├óÔé¼┬Ø The man said, still looking cross. ├óÔé¼┼ôGood├óÔé¼┬Ø Mankowski pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the man's head. The man's hands immediately shot up and his girlfriend dropped her pants, as she had been zipping them up. ├óÔé¼┼ôNow├óÔé¼┬Ø Mankowski said ├óÔé¼┼ôDon't worry. Just go out, find a storage closet and fuck there├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôBu├óÔé¼┬Ø The man started, but Mankowski cut him off ├óÔé¼┼ôFuck├óÔé¼┬Ø he said ├óÔé¼┼ôOr I'll kill you├óÔé¼┬Ø.
Joseph walked back to the room that they had been using to process the refugee's. Then an aide tapped the back of his shoulder and said into her ear ├óÔé¼┼ôYou're getting a call├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôWhat!├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph looked at Keller, trying to convey his pain. Keller just looked away, back to the refugee's who were waiting in line. ├óÔé¼┼ôIt's from SOL├óÔé¼┬Ø The aide said. Joseph turned around and stared at him ├óÔé¼┼ôI'll take it in my room├óÔé¼┬Ø. He walked out of the room, pushing past the aide.
Joseph turned on his computer set. Three face's stared back. On the right was a young man with silver gray hair, obviously dyed. On the left was another man, wearing a turban and wearing glasses. The woman in the middle of the screen had her hair parted to the left and looked like one of those icy bitch's who played the 'untouchable beauty'. Her green eyes stared through the computer screen and seemed to glow slightly. Joseph nodded to them ├óÔé¼┼ôCaptian-├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôWe know who you are├óÔé¼┬Ø The woman said ├óÔé¼┼ôBut I believe that is were we have the advantage├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôRight├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph said ├óÔé¼┼ôWho are you?├óÔé¼┬Ø.
├óÔé¼┼ôMy name is unimportant├óÔé¼┬Ø the woman said ├óÔé¼┼ôBut you can call my Cyanide if you really need to├óÔé¼┬Ø. Joseph wondered at the name choice, but the woman started talking again ├óÔé¼┼ôMe and my associates have recently discovered that our operative has died on Dantana's surface. Why has this come to pass?├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôMy boss?├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph asked ├óÔé¼┼ôHe's...dead!├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôYes├óÔé¼┬Ø Cyanide said, frowning ├óÔé¼┼ôHe should have told you about us├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôWell├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph said ├óÔé¼┼ôHe didn't├óÔé¼┬Ø. Cyanide blinked, looking as if she didn't quite believe him ├óÔé¼┼ôWell├óÔé¼┬Ø she said ├óÔé¼┼ôYou do know what your trying to accomplish, right?├óÔé¼┬Ø.
├óÔé¼┼ôNot really, no├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph said ├óÔé¼┼ôI just want to get paid├óÔé¼┬Ø. Cyanide frowned ├óÔé¼┼ôYou will get paid├óÔé¼┬Ø she said ├óÔé¼┼ôBut it will be greater then anything you could imagine├óÔé¼┬Ø. Joseph smiled ├óÔé¼┼ôI can imagine...├óÔé¼┬Ø his eyes darted down the front of Cyanide, not making any effort to hid the fact he was sizing her up ├óÔé¼┼ôQuite a bit├óÔé¼┬Ø. Cyanide smiled, leaning forward over the table she was sitting behind ├óÔé¼┼ôI have some instructions for you├óÔé¼┬Ø she said ├óÔé¼┼ôDoes your ship have biological regenerative capabilities?├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôI can grow organs, yes├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph said. ├óÔé¼┼ôCan you make a new body, with the following specifications├óÔé¼┬Ø. A string of A's, T's, G's and C's scrolled under her face as she spoke ├óÔé¼┼ôAnd then place a Class Four three ought two quant-con brain in the body├óÔé¼┬Ø.
Joseph balanced ├óÔé¼┼ôBut, mam├óÔé¼┬Ø he said ├óÔé¼┼ôWe don't have a Class Four three ought two quant-con brain!├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôWe'll send those spec's as well├óÔé¼┬Ø Cyanide said, still smiling ├óÔé¼┼ôAnd your ships can easily fabricate it, if you put in the right raw materials├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôYou can send all this data over a tac-con?├óÔé¼┬Ø Joseph asked, feeling a little overwhelmed by the new things that were happening. ├óÔé¼┼ôEverything you could send with a laser, you can send with a Tac-Con├óÔé¼┬Ø Cyanide said ├óÔé¼┼ôOnce you have these bits and pieces ready, send a message├óÔé¼┬Ø.
The signal ended. Joseph sat in his chair, still feeling overwhelmed. Then he pressed the button for the intercom and said ├óÔé¼┼ôCan you send some one from biologics and manufacturing down here?├óÔé¼┬Ø. Then he sat back in his chair and typed some inquires in his computer. He pressed a few more buttons and an extrapolation of the genetics's that had been sent to the computer form SOL. It came out as a young woman. It was Cyanide, in wire frame. Joseph closed his eyes and wished he had been slightly more polite to her over the tac-con.
The kid chowed down with a voracity that stunned Mike, who was used to eating with marines. And marines knew to put it away with all due haste. But this kid was practically shoving bread and cheese down his throat, making loud, moaning sounds of pleasure as he ate. Tipp sat down next to Mike. ├óÔé¼┼ôHey Mike├óÔé¼┬Ø She said, looking at the boy ├óÔé¼┼ôHow is our new family member?├óÔé¼┬Ø. The boy looked at her and smiled, his cheek's bulging. ├óÔé¼┼ôI think he's a surprisingly upbeat fellow├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike said ├óÔé¼┼ôIsn't that right?├óÔé¼┬Ø. The boy nodded, swallowing. He made a flurry of symbols with his hands. Mike recognized some of them as singe language, but he went by too fast for him to make good sense about it.
├óÔé¼┼ôAnyone know how to...do that stuff?├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike asked. Tipp shook her head. Then Mike realized that he was alone in the room with the others. ├óÔé¼┼ôWait!├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike said. He got up and ran out of the room. Tipp looked at the boy and arched her eyebrows at him. The boy smiled at her, grabbing some more food. ├óÔé¼┼ôYou really should slow down├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said. Then Mike burst back into the room, holding a pencil and paper. The boy shook his head when he offered them to him. ├óÔé¼┼ôCan you write?├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike asked. The boy shook his head. ├óÔé¼┼ôCan you read?├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike asked. The boy shook his head again.
Then he started to dance from one foot to the other, looking around. ├óÔé¼┼ôBathroom├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike guessed. He pointed down the hallway ├óÔé¼┼ôThat way├óÔé¼┬Ø. The boy smiled at him and ran off. Mike sat down again ├óÔé¼┼ôHe's a nice kid...I think├óÔé¼┬Ø he said. ├óÔé¼┼ôMike├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said ├óÔé¼┼ôCan...Can I ask you something personal?├óÔé¼┬Ø. Mike looked at her ├óÔé¼┼ôYeah├óÔé¼┬Ø he said ├óÔé¼┼ôWhat's the problem├óÔé¼┬Ø. Tipp sighed ├óÔé¼┼ôIt's Helena├óÔé¼┬Ø she said. ├óÔé¼┼ôAre you two not getting along?├óÔé¼┬Ø he asked, feeling a little worried. Tipp stared at him. ├óÔé¼┼ôWhat?├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike asked, feeling like he was missing something very obvious.
├óÔé¼┼ôNo├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said ├óÔé¼┼ôWe're getting along just fine...but I wasn't to get along...better├óÔé¼┬Ø she winked at him ├óÔé¼┼ôIf you get my drift├óÔé¼┬Ø. Mike worked it through after a few seconds ├óÔé¼┼ôOh├óÔé¼┬Ø he said. ├óÔé¼┼ôOh!├óÔé¼┬Ø He exclaimed. ├óÔé¼┼ôYour not jealous, are you?├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp asked. ├óÔé¼┼ôNo. NO!├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike said ├óÔé¼┼ôNo├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôRight, good├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said ├óÔé¼┼ôCause...God damn Helena is a fine woman├óÔé¼┬Ø. Mike nodded, wondering if his ears were red. ├óÔé¼┼ôI just wasn't to eat her up, you know?├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said ├óÔé¼┼ôShe's just so...so...so├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôNice?├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike suggested. ├óÔé¼┼ôYes!├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said, snapping her fingers at him ├óÔé¼┼ôYes and she just keeps giving me the cold shoulder. How did YOU get together with her├óÔé¼┬Ø.
Mike thought about it for a bit ├óÔé¼┼ôWell├óÔé¼┬Ø he said ├óÔé¼┼ôShe's not really that type├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôBah!├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp said ├óÔé¼┼ôAnyone is anything, given enough motivation├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôI admire your optimism├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike said ├óÔé¼┼ôBuy mine and Helena's relation was more of a love in the trench's. We just fell in love and held together through the campaign on Galvatrax. It also helped that she had a great sense of humor and amazing legs├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôDon't get me started on her legs├óÔé¼┬Ø Tipp moaned, her face mashed into the table ├óÔé¼┼ôBut I'm getting desperate. I can't think of anything else to do. Other then getting on my knee's and begging. Or drugging her food├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôWell├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike said ├óÔé¼┼ôbegging sounds fine to me├óÔé¼┬Ø.
Tipp groaned ├óÔé¼┼ôAre you sure we don't have any drugs or anything?├óÔé¼┬Ø. Mike thought for a second ├óÔé¼┼ôNo├óÔé¼┬Ø he said. Then the door to the room opened and Sarge walked into the room, holding a screwdriver. ├óÔé¼┼ôMike!├óÔé¼┬Ø He said ├óÔé¼┼ôTipp! The radio is ready...I think├óÔé¼┬Ø. ├óÔé¼┼ôAre you sure?├óÔé¼┬Ø Mike asked ├óÔé¼┼ôMaybe I should look it over├óÔé¼┬Ø. Sarge nodded ├óÔé¼┼ôFine, sure├óÔé¼┬Ø he said ├óÔé¼┼ôJust come on and try it out├óÔé¼┬Ø. Mike got up, but Tipp stayed behind, sitting at the table. Then she got up and walked after them, trying to word her begging in the best way possible.
Its short. So what? What are you going to do? Sue me!
I've got Arcanum to play...
