    Yeah, it was kind of a "Last ditch" thing


    Lucius

    The 'captain' sighs, though he's still smiling.

    Very well.

    He looked up, at the small picture above the table. That of a cosmic scene. Not art, just a pict, but still pretty nice.

    Tell me Bianca, have you ever been up in space? On a ship?

    Lucius

    The reaction of BIANCA to the idea of space was the final straw. Everything that's been happening since the raid on the truck had been getting Lucius stressed. This left him bursting out in laughter

    Ha Haha... No, Bianca. Not exactly

    Or...

    There's a gleam in his eye, as an idea seems to occur to him

    Y...es. Bianca, what sort of objectives do you usually get?

    "Find the target. Shoot the target. Stab the target. Recover the target. Protect the target from all hostiles. Cut as many targets as I can in under a minute. It's all in my mission files." BIANCA was confused now, she was clearly not used to this peculiar method of speaking.

    Bianca, do you know what the word "freedom" means?

    "Negative, Captain Lucius." BIANCA cheerfully saluted and smiled again. The fact that she was so happy despite not knowing would be quite disturbing to onlookers, but BIANCA was pleased that she could answer the question correctly, and as quick as possible.

    The navigator tries his uttermost to remain deadpan, and serious.

    You have proven yourself, and your next mission requiers no test results. Your next assignment will be long term. Your objective is to locate "freedom"

    The problem is it's unknown nature. It is not a location, person or object. Thus, this will be a wide ranging search mission, spanning massive areas

    You will be under my supervision, and rough guidance but you will be able to do, more or less, what you want.

    Any initial questions?


    He manages, barely, to restrain a smile.

    The navigator smiled at the question, with the air of one who is finally begining to understand how the game is played

    That, Bianca, is the question. Suffice to say, that when it is percieved, you should be able to recognise it. As should I, which is why I am accompanying you.

    You remember the second phrase I asked you? Complex abstract concept? That is what we believe freedom to be.

    The search area will cover vast portions of space. And, as we have no leads, our pattern will be random. Do you have any reccomendations as to places where we should begin searching? Anywhere one of the Doctor's described that you'd like to see?

    "That sounds...hard." BIANCA sounded worried for a bit. "But I don't know where. The doctors didn't talk about places, they talked about missions and targets. But I can't track a target like that without being taught how. Am I getting a new implant to help?"

    I'm not sure. Perhaps.

    And in that case, I'll be in charge of overall location. We'll travel the galaxy. You look out in the places we go to for freedom. That sound good?

    Look. I'm going to teach you a little technique for long term field work, Ok?

    If you lie down, and don't focus on anything, you can end up going to sleep without anyone else having to make you. It's useful when you can't get to anyone.

    You want to try it?

    Jamie, what sort of decryption do you have.

    Complete.

    Good. Firstly, can you analyze BIANCA's biology, according to this, see if a sleeping pill could but her to sleep?

    Yes, your medical equipment at home can dispense sedatives from multiple chemical families. Whether it will work on Bianca or not is up to Sicarius.

    Normal sleeping pills would have no effect. The potency of such a pill, to overcome her liver, would have to be pushing near a fatal dose, as well as losing potency given her kidney implants. If you can trick your autodoc into making a super-pill, it would knock her out for about 40% of the duration of regular high-strength sleeping pills.

    You can't have a super pill, but you can tell your 'doc you are going on an extended trip and need a 6 month supply of regular pills, and just give Bianca several days worth at once. Alternatively, you can put a skill rank in Medicine and use that plus your computer skill to coax the doc into dispensing drugs that are normally restricted. If you do that, you can also get it to dispense hormone suppressants too. Up to you.

    Oh, and give the poor girl a blankie!

    Or at least say it's like when she goes to cryo except for no tube. I can't imagine how comfortable sleeping in a flight suit with two knives, two pistols, and a sword strapped to your back can be.

    Lucius

    Lucius ponders for a while before ordering his Auto-Doc to dispence such pills. He then asks the auto chef to boil up a drink of hot chocolate, and additional flavoring, to counter the taste of the sleeping pills.

    He heads back into the room... to the sight of Bianca laying on the floor, in full combat gear

    BIANCA? It's...

    He sighed

    Field sleep is like going into your cryo-tube. You shouldn't do it in your kit.

    Here. Follow me


    He takes her hand, and leads her into the bedroom. It houses a picture of a large ship, with the White Knight across the prow, and a comfortable, single bed

    What the hell. I don't expect sleep tonight

    He gestures to the bed

    Lay down there. And drink this.

    He holds out the old blue mug of hot chocolate

    BIANCA

    "I forgot my gown." BIANCA notes absently, looking around. She ignores the dressers, intently searching the room for a locker of some sort. While she doesn't see one she's used to, there seems to be a high-capacity locker in the side, with many hanging clothes. She moves over to it quickly, not really noting any protests and looks over the equipment hanging there for her cryo-clothes, or for something like them. There was a hook, so she placed her gun belt, pistols still in it, on it. There was a shelf, so she placed her knives on it. There was nothing for her sword, so she merely leaned it against a wall, where it immediately fell with a rather loud clatter. She grimaced at the noise.

    Nothing in the high-capacity locker resembled her clothes, so she merely unzipped and removed her flight suit and hung it up neatly and undid the ties in her hair. Now dressed only in the barest of essentials, she grabbed the mug and took a big gulp. Lucius marks two fresh holes in her wrist from where her biomonitor had pierced her flesh in order to ensure more accurate readings.

    "Ow...hot..." She notes, but doesn't stop drinking it quickly, causing a little bit to run down the sides of her mouth. "And sweet. And a little strange." After she finishes the entire thing, as ordered, she lays down on the soft surface, which was much more confortable than the floor.

    "Now I just don't do anything?" She asks.

    I'll see if I can do something about that.

    He turns away out of politeness as BIANCA removes her flight suit. He smiles as she drinks, and tries not to notice the marks

    Yes, just lie down, and do nothing. Try to relax, and not to think

    He waits gently by the door, quietly watching over the young Bio-weapon.

    BIANCA

    She fidgets a great deal, unused to periods of inactivity and the caffiene inherent in hot chocolate. But the drugs work their magic, as they're designed to, and eventually she starts to settle down and drift off to sleep.

    In her dreams, perhaps she's in a field, or maybe she's reminiscing about a mission, or perhaps something else far more sinister. Who can say?
