Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung cocks an eyebrow at the orders, thinking momentarily about trying to extract more nuyen out of the situation. Then he recalls what he witnessed below, letting out a sigh of relief at not being the one carrying the 'organic sample'. His gaze reaches out to the unseen horizon searching for someth...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung wipes his forehead with the sleeve of his coat, anxiously glancing to the left and right before responding. Whole things gone to drek. Some kinda bio-weapon, yeah. Everyone on board was DOA, well, we found one survivor, kid in our custody; he's seen some shit. Some kinda whirligig activated dur...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung looks warily at the DSECD, contemplating what further horrors activating the device might require the group to face. He shrugs, quickly grabbing it from Achak. I'd say it can't get any worse, but that'd be a lie, eh? We're still alive after all. He attempts a half smile, but it struggles to sta...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung spins to face the previously unseen assailants who have descended on the group from the darkness. Recognizing his defenseless comrades as both the most vulnerable but effective in maintaining their combat superiority, he quickly closes on the closest threat. Having observed the effects of Reiya...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

The sheer horror of confronting the reality that has descended upon the crew finally imparts itself on Yung. For a rare moment he loses all of his pretentious composure and genuine terror flashes across his eyes, luckily obscured by his trusty glasses. Still, he falls back on his training, reacting ...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung shakes the awe of the barrage of fireworks going off around him. His gaze follows Achak's movements and bold posturing; he briefly purses his lips before sliding adjacent to the Amerind. He quickly unbuttons the cuffs of his sleeves before crouching slightly with arms raised in front of him, re...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung turns to face Javad, making his best attempt at a calm collected demeanor. Meanwhile his mind is mired in panic, racing through the multitude of times in the past few minutes where he should have spoken up. His heart is pounding, bordering on cardiac arrest. Secretly this is the kind of moment ...

Yung chuckles softly at the jibe. Wish we had the time omae.

Good idea to get him cleaned up though, maybe w...

Yung rifles through his satchel in search of a protein bar and some water. After locating the items he slowly sits down with legs criss-crossing. He unwraps the bar and breaks off a small piece before tossing it on the ground in front of Javad. He then slides the water over to him carefully, offerin...

His pace slows as he enters the power room, collating the various data feeds, both digital and physical into some kind of approach. The p...

Re: Run #3 - The Smoking Gunwale

Yung’s mind is adrift, lost in a sea of memories from time he spent long ago on a similar ship. Packed below deck with other refugees, escaping to a better life. At least I made it. The recollection takes him down a path seldom traveled; he remembers his parents. Perhaps they’re still alive, slaving...

Yung is somewhere far off in his head when the pungent smell assails him. His eyes wash over the room, reflexively losing focus as they scan the scene. He wrinkles his nose in an attempt to block out the smell, but it seems to saturate his sinuses through other orifaces. He closes his eyes but the g...
