When Takeyu saw where Misato was, the Taii gave a nod of the head and looked at the ID-Sol. "Yamatai Military," spoke the Taii as he slowly got up, being careful not to make a sound. "We are not here to harm you, please, cease fire and let's talk."
 
"Okay," the ID-SOL said, stranding up slowly and looking for Takeyu. "Sorry to bother you, but do you know anything about Lorath starships? I can't read the controls on this one over her and I didn't want to wake up the Occhestian in cryo unless I had to. Oh! The name is Six Four Tango X-Ray. You can call me X. I've been here for months, the only friggin' man on the planet. Excuse the IEDs...I thought the pirates would come back for their stuff."
 
Hmm...., Takeyu thought with a rub of the chin. "Misato, stay cloaked for now.. this soldier may be telling the truth or he could be a pirate just on the lookout," he told his fellow soldier and stood up from his hiding place, he disengaged his stealth systems, revealing that he was only ten feet from the ID-Sol. Glad I brushed up on my Lorath...

"The names Nayacesen Takeyu," he looked over in the direction of the Lorath ship and then glanced partway up at the sky. "So, by what you just said, there are possibly others on this planet. Joy. Although I can take a look." "Victory? Encountered an ID-SOL, man looks paranoid but was able to get him to stop firing and talk. Mines are his, he was apparently afraid that pirates would come back for their stuff, which makes me think that the Lorath ship is a pirate vessel. This also means that there are possibly more hostiles out here, so please keep your eyes peeled. Also, there is apparently an Occhestian in cryo according to this man."
 
Misato stood as still as she could. She wanted to add as much advantage to the active camo setting as she could. As Takeyu spoke to the ID-SOL Misato kept her weapons trained on the soldier. She knew that Takeyu's attempt could go awry at any moment.
 
"I'm the only one here," the ID-SOL said. "Can I hitch a ride with your ship? I need to get back to civilization. I can give you some of the stuff here in return."
 
As she watched she listened to the conversation between the ID-SOl and Takeyu, the idea of getting some of the stuff here perked her up. Maybe they could get some of it and the Sho'Sho' would let her keep some of it for herself.She sent one of the flanker Drones over to look at the ship that was there. She hoped the drone would have the right sensors to tell her more about the ship. She whispered into her mic she sent message to Takeyu, "Sir. I think he might be telling the truth, the drones aren't showing any more people around, ad Victory hasn't found anyone either."
 
"Hmm..." Takeyu rubbed his chin curiously at the request, it personally didn't bother him if this ID-SOL wanted a ride, and the soldier was stranded.

"Victory, get a message off the Eucharis please. This IDSOL would like a ride on our ship so that he can return to his people, he's apparently been stranded on this planet. He doesn't appear to be a threat, also, he's offering us some of the stuff here in return for us bringing him back with us."

"I don't think there would be any problems with you joining us, however, I'm curious how long you've been stuck here," asked the Taii, as he turned toward the direction of the ship and sent one of his drones off ahead to investigate it.

"He may be telling the truth, and I do believe him, however one thing to bare in mind when it's a small group like ours is to never take chances. We'll know for certain in time if he is truly an ally or a foe," Takeyu sent, via encryption, to Misato.
 
Another explosion claimed another drone as it passed the line of improvised mines set up by the Nepleslian warrior.

"I know the safe way," Six Four said, looking a little irritated. "Let's get what we need and leave, okay?"
 
Misato watched the ID-Sol offer the lead Takeyu towards the ship and around the mines. She didn't know what to do, stay where she was, or try to follow the two in wards. She opened another encrypted channel up with Takeyu, "Sir what would you like me to do, I would prefer to follow you in closer and through the mines, to the ship, then continue over-watch, but if you rather me stay out here I will."
 
"Lead the way," said Takeyu to the IDSol. "Continue to follow us," Takeyu said to Misato and eyed the area where the soldier was for a brief moment before turning his gaze to the IDSol
 
"Is there a safe landing area?" Victory asked over the comms network as she flew overhead, moving into the air above the clearing. "I see lots of palettes of stuff and cargo containers."

Six Four nodded, taking his new-found rescuer through a zigzagging maze of vegetation and out into the clearing where there was a bunch of stuff.
 
"Aye" she commed back, and slowly picking her steps to match where Takeyu stepped she made her way to the ship. As she looked around she saw all the stuff there was her, it was like Yule-fest hit again. she opened the encrypted channel again and spoke as calmly she could trying to hide her excitement, "Sir all this stuff here, do you think anyone one has claim on it?"
 
"The pirates..." said Takeyu with a slight smile as he walked through and looked at the items that were there.

"You should be clear Victory, there are a few open areas near these crates...." Takeyu said in his message to Victory.

"If I recall, you mentioned someone else on this ship?" Takeyu looked at the IDSol, while walking toward one of the pallets and looking at the items there.
 
"There are some Lorath people in cryo boxes. They're both slaves with control collars on," Six Four explained. "I left them alone. I mean, hey, one stranded dude is enough. I didn't know how to work the ship but there were enough supplies to survive on my own. By the way the pirates considered me part of the purchase whoever made. So I don't like them much. When do we get out of here? Is everything cool between Nepleslia and Yamatai? How is the Mishhu war going?"
 
Takeyu nodded slowly. "The war, at least from all appearances, is slowly coming to an end thankfully. As for relationships between Nep and Yamatai, I'd like to say they are ok..." his voice trailed off.

He stared at the ship with curious eyes, an engineers challenge to get it into the air and possibly out of the area. "Well, consider yourself no longer part of their purchase, as far as I'm concerned, you're a free man."

"Still though.. where are the pirates?" Takeyu asked, sending that thought to both Misato and Victory. "Our pilot should be landing shortly, once she does we can get aboard and make our way out... by the way, what happened to the pirates?" he asked.
 
"I haven't seen them in months. I guess whoever bought these supplies never bothered to pick them up," the man answered.

That thought had crossed Misato's mind also. As she slowly followed she opened an encrypted comm channel to Victory, "Are there any ships on sensors, I just got a chill down my spine. Can you make sure that there are no ships or engine exhaust any where near by?"

She sent new orders to her drones to start orbiting the area far outside the mined zone. Misato wanted to make sure that nothing was going to come sneaking up on them.
 
Victory landed the shuttle in the middle of the rows of pirated items, somewhat near the unusual Lorath starship. In a moment, she was standing at the shuttle's rear door. "There's nothing on sensors. If we want to claim some of these commodities for the Star Army, the Shosho can probably use them as bartering goods for to other star system. Frontier people have a life with a lot more unsatisfied needs than the citizens of Yamatai so they tend to respond well to free stuff. People come first so we should start by moving the slaves into the shuttle."
 
"Good idea," Takeyu said and looked toward the ship. "Plus, I don't want those slaves to remain here on this planet just in case the pirates return..."

He looked over at in Misatos direction. "Head into the shuttle, then decloak yourself and join us, I don't want to startle this ID-Sol into thinking you were with me the entire time."

"Six Four, exactly how many slaves are onboard this ship?" asked Takeyu.
 
"There's two of them," Six Four told Takeyu. "And, uh, one frozen head."
