	McC: ………….. I see. *will wait till Deckard returns to ask much more – to the boy* And you repaired me? By yourself? You repaired Deckard? *realizes…* I'm sorry…I don't know your name yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mitham: *nods* My grandfather taught me. He was on the team that built Duke and the Scotland Yard team. After the Vorian attacked he joined the resistance fighters. Started teaching me robotic engineering as soon as I was old enough to hold the tools. *smiles over his shoulder at McC* I'm Mitham. It's really great to meet you. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	McC: *nods* The pleasure's mine, Mitham. *looks around the room* Is there anything I can do? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	*before Mitham can answer Deckard will arrive with PJ in his arms. The newly found BP is in deoerate need of a good washing.* Mitham: */grins/* Deckard! Look, McCrane's awake! *and then the body registers* Oh good! Now we just need go find Shadowmaru! *happy!* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

*At this point, Deckard needs a good washing too. He's crawled into the barn, pulling PJ with him, and was just turning to greet Mitham when he registers McC* M-McCrane! McC: Deckard! *last time he saw his team lead was lying dead on the trash pile he'd been dumped onto* *McC stumbles to his feet as Deckard pulls PJ in the rest of the way and lays him out, then stands. The two EMBRACE tightly, each burying into the other's shoulder. Neither moves for a long moment.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mitham: *smiles, studying them a moment before turning to work on Duke again. He won't interrupt.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	*After another moment, the two finally pull back, both trying to talk at once. McC dutifully quiets, and Deckard promises to explain everything he knows, just come with him to the junkyard. They'll find Maru together. McC agrees and the two turn to head out.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

*They'll find SM. As they reach the farm again, though, they'll spot a couple of men in the shadows moving towards the barn, lights inside announcing that someone (Mitham) is in there.* Man1: *sorry guys, you're /way/ too big not to notice. He /stops/ and grabs the arm of the other, staring at the massive shapes in the night. There's not moon out, or of there is it's covered by clouds, so all he can see are massive shadows. The BP will be able to make out the fact that they both have guns.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Deckard: ……….. */very/ low murmur to McC to hang back with Maru, then will approach a /little/, banking on the fact that, with the nightvision setting in the cameras that serve for his eyes, he can see the men a LOT better than they can see him, and they're not /expecting/ him to be a robot, so…* What is your business here? *and he's not being quiet – he's hoping Mitham will hear so he can slip out and escape if need be* McC: *crouches down, hunching protectively over Maru's body* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man1: Just checking on something... What are you, stranger? Man2: *starts for the barn again, moving sideways so as not to take his eyes off Deckard, the movement still manages to be "casual".* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragondancer515 2014-03-26 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Deckard: The one guarding this place. Sir, I can see very well where you're heading. I will ask you /not/ to move any closer. What are you here to check on? *they could be some of Mitham's rebel friends . . . or they could be in the employment of the Vorian* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man2: *slows, but doesn't quite stop.* Man1: We saw lights here. Man2: And movement, like someone coming and going. Man1: We're here to see what's going on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragondancer515 2014-03-26 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	Deckard: Yes, there are lights and movement, but depending on whose authority you're here under, I daresay it's none of your business. And sir, I will /not/ ask you again to /hold/ /your/ /position/. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Man2: *can hear the /frown/ in his tone* And what business is it of yours? Man1: *holds up at hand* Easy. .........My name is Terris Alderan, I'm here to check on a boy who lives in these parts. Man2: *from his body language he's shocked Terris has revealed so much!* But... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Deckard: *he'd not let himself hope, though he /had/ known that the man would be coming along sooner or later – the relief will be audible* Terris . . . good. Mitham said you would be coming by sometime. *over his shoulder* McCrane, it's all right. *slowly steps closer, hands up so they can see he's unarmed (though his size alone will likely have them highly defensive anyway) - once he's sure they can see him reasonably well, he pauses…and salutes* My name is Brave Police Deckard, at your service. Pleased to meet you. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Terris: *at ease just based on Deckard's reaction...and the name he says. McCrane. At the formal greeting...* Brave Police... *kind of...shocked* Man2: What? Really? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Deckard: *nods and takes another step closer, kneeling to speak with them more easily* Yes. And I'm sorry about my behavior. I couldn't risk that you were someone who works for the Vorians and would betray Mitham or the rest of my team to them. Please, come inside. *motions them toward the barn, then will drop to hands and knees to follow them in* McC: *will crouch down at the door, patient as he waits for Deckard to be able to turn and pull Maru inside, will let him speak with the two men first* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

socrowdedinhere 2014-03-26 08:25 pm UTC (link)

Terris: No, don't apologize. Your willingness to protect Mitham is greatly appreciated. Man2: Wait, the rest of your team is here too? *eyes the great shadow that is McC with Maru in his arms.* Mitham: *working away on Duke. He looks up as the others come in.* Terris! Aren! *hops down and comes over to HUG them both* I found them! I finally found them! They'll all be working again soon, I know they will all be okay. *he has to believe that* Terris: *HUGS and looks around* I'm proud of you, Mitham. Aren: *waling among the other BP, lined up and laid out. Notices that PJ is still a /mess/....as is Maru who they're just bow bringing in.* How long have you guys been here?

Deckard: *realizes he doesn’t wholly know, glancing at Mitham as he answers* A week? I don't know how long Mitham worked on me before he rebooted me. That first night, we went back together and found McCrane, Gunmax, Drill Boy, and my J-Roader. *he nods at McC, who nods back by way of introduction, then points at the other three* Mitham stayed here to work on McCrane while I went back and found the others. McCrane was brought around a little over an hour ago. *PJ is over away from the others a bit, where he can be hosed down without the others getting sprayed – he'll have McC help him get Maru over there too* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mitham: *nodnod* Found Deckard in the junkyard last week. We found McCrane about two days ago. They're actually not too badly damaged, frayed wires, evidence of small fire, probably some damage from time and exposure. *looks up at Terris* Is Nicolai back yet? It'll probably he two more weeks before I can get all of them fixed up on my own. Terris: *nods* Nicolai got back yesterday. I'll let him know you need help. *he's a hard looking man, gray hair pulled back into a short tail at the base of his skull, a nasty scar on his face, only partly hidden by a short beard. His eyes are different colors too.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Deckard: And I'm afraid we're of no help in that respect. All of our repairs and maintenance were done by the engineering teams that cared for us. *will pull out the hose and have McC help him as he starts getting PJ washed down* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	socrowdedinhere 2014-03-26 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Aren: *younger than Terris, maybe in his thirties, with dark hair and green eyes. He'll walk by DB, softly touching his head* Wow. I can't believe this. *a thought occurs to him.* You'll be helping us against the Vorian, won't you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

dragondancer515 2014-03-26 09:18 pm UTC (link)

Deckard: ………….. *nods, concentrating on PJ* Yes, of course. *he just…can't guarantee how /much/ help they'll be – his team's previous failure…/his/ previous failure…is still too fresh in his mind, like it just happened yesterday, as it may as well have, he's not had time to process everything that happened to him and his team, so he's not yet grieved or come to terms with it…and it's rattled his confidence /badly/* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Terris: ....I think things will go better this time. We believe we've figured out a weakness, but just don't have the means to take full advantage of it without what you can offer. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Mitham: They'll be able to help us. I believe in them. *pulls away to get back to work on Duke.* (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
