Alice looks introseptive.
Lopez	I never got your name Miss?
Alice eyes focus on Lopez. "Sorry, my name is Alice."
Lopez	A pleasure to meet you Alice.
Alice	"Thanks. So you just arrived?"
Lopez	Yeah..got recruited while I was on assignment actually
Alice	"Recruited? So you are a new Traveller then?"
Lopez	define Traveller.
Alice	"It is a job description. A professional agent for the Guild who work in other dimensions."
Lopez	well then as a trasdimensonal Traveller..no... as a transgalactic traveller been around for a while now so yeah I'd be a new traveller.
The_Guild	Says the blonde Sianzi Bibobu, "You two are Travellers? Wow, how lucky are you? I'm only a dimensional liason."
Lopez	"A chain missing its smallest link is no more useful than a lump of Iron." - Heng Zion of the third Noro Dynastay
The_Guild	She looks at you with wide eyes sparkling. "Wow, no wonder you're a Traveller... you're so smart!"
Lopez	No...I Don't sleep...so I read a lot
Lopez smiles slightly
Alice 's head tilts to the side. "Useful thing. Sleep is a waste of time."
Alice	"So how long have you been a liason?"
The_Guild	"About two years now! I've been working in Br'gopak for the past eight months. It's SOOOO beautiful there!"
Alice	"So you enjoy the job then?"
Alice drums her lighters lightly on the table. She looks really hungry.
The_Guild	"It's alright. I mean, there's not a lot to do in Br'gopak 'cause they're not, you know, 'in the know', but they've got beautiful mountains for hiking in." Odd. This girl doesn't look very athletic. As if on cue, the waiter comes over with your big breakfast, delivering it and Sianzi's breakfast at the same time. "Here you go, m'ladies!"
Lopez has finished with the meat and is now moving onto the huge bowl of rice
Alice eyes widen a the feast before her. "Thank you good sir." She immediately starts eating politely but very quickly.
Lopez	You seem to have quite the appetite...if you don't mind me being so blunt
Alice	*munch* *munch* *munch* "I'm eating for two." ...
Alice pats her belly.
Lopez looks intently at alice for a second
Lopez	Ahhh yes I see. Congadulations
Alice	"Thanks. It's a pretty recent development."
Lopez	is that common among your people?
Alice	"My people?! No, not at all. My world has no magic or telepathy. She and I joined yesterday. May I ask how you detected her?"
Lopez	Sure...X-rays and Thermographics
Alice	"Hand. An organic talent?"
Lopez	Not in the slightest
Alice	"Cybernetic then?"
Lopez	Highly advanced...its a cultural thing...long ago before my people developed Faster-than-Light Travel the Quatroia or "Those who bring Justice" were sent out into the lawless lands to admister justice... when we wend to the stars we realized that human beings are very fragile beings aside from the odd Psionic...so we the Quatrioa or Star Mashall's underweat full Bionic Reconstrctuion to proptect our borders. over the years we've become a bit rare...but still there doing what we've always done...bring justice to those in need we're detective judge Jury and sometimes exicutioner and gravedigger
Alice	"Ah.... police." Alice's tone is neutral.
Lopez	in a sense. Police, Commando, Detective. all rolled into one.
Alice	"Interesting. I have never had a very good relationship with the police to be frank."
Lopez	*shrug* nither have I. I just do what is right.
Alice	"That must make for an interesting life. So why did you join here?"
Lopez	I got bored...there are only so many planets you can visit or murderers you can track down...so I thought this'd be the next logical step. in a way its really only one step if you think about it...I mean after you achive pan-galactic travel where else can you go?
Alice	"I agree. This does sound like a good step for you."
The_Guild	"Wow, so, like, you guys are already SO much more ready for this job than me. Gee, I'm never going to get to be a Traveller!"
Lopez	*shrug* you never know.
Alice	"Do you really want to be a Traveller? "
The_Guild	"Well, yeah! Exploring and helping people out and bringing everything together and protecting the multiverse, who DOESN'T want to be a Traveller?"
Alice 's expression suddenly goes angry and scare
Alice	d
The_Guild	"I'm sorry, did I say something bad?"
Alice	"Sorry. I'm having a little argument with my tenent."
Alice rubs the back of her neck.
Alice	To herself, "Damn... I should have set this up earlier."
Lopez	If I may ask...why a symbiote?
Alice	"Her linking is an experimental procedure. She confers telepathic capabilities but she can be very hard to control. I am worried that she might have consumed some of my memory."
Lopez	Isee...well I'm not one to talk about sacrificing one's self for power.
Alice	"I have no intention of sacrificing myself. She and I just need to come to terms with this." She smiles grimly. "I don't suppose either of you have any memories you don't want to keep."
Lopez	I don't think so...your friend might find my internal housing a...dangerous place to be.
The_Guild	"I... I do."
Lopez	and my cerebral cortex is inceased in a 3 cm plasmasteel housing.
Alice	"Wouldn't help I'm afraid. She feed telepathically." "You do?"
The_Guild	"I... there was this... back in... Do I have to tell you?"
Alice	"No, of course not." Alice's tone is very serious, "But I can do this for you if you are serious."
The_Guild	"I... I am." "What do I do?"
Alice	"Okay then. The first thing I want you to do is to write a letter to yourself about what is going on, that I am taking away a memory of yours, what you are doing recently, etc. You may lose some short term memories as well." "You can just store the information with the thinkers if you want."
The_Guild	"Alright." She stares at her plate for a moment, her brow furrowing in concentration. Then it clears. "Okay, now what?"
Alice	"Now we just need somewhere comfortable. Shall we step over to a lounge? We could do it here but it might be confusing afterwards,"
The_Guild	"Okay. There's a nice little parklounge a hub away from here." Sianzi finishes her breakfast quickly, and then stands.
Lopez	Excuse me....but would you be offended if i were to watch? I find Symbiotic relations to be facinating
Alice	As Alice leaves she stops by a counter and asks for some high nutrient food bars (or equivalent) and some fruit.
The_Guild	Sianzi looks at Alice, too. "Can he come? I might want someone to... hold my hand."
Alice	"Sure. What ever makes you comfortable."
Lopez puts down food and get up politly
Lopez	[BTW Lopez is a tall boy about 6'5" 6'6" not lankey but just slightly larger all over.
The_Guild	Your breakfasts are finished and you follow Sianzi to what is indeed a quie nice parklounge, lushly carpeted floors flow subtly into grassy hillocks surrounding beds of flowers and small fountains. Couches and benches dot the room.
Alice	[Alice is also quite tall for a woman. She stands at about 6'2" with a body type a bit like Maggie from ROD]
The_Guild	[Sianzi is more like Michelle, only thinner and a little less buxom.] She finds a couch covered in rosepetals and takes a seat.
Lopez sits down beside her
Alice sits down in a nearby chair and closes her eyes.
Lopez leans over and whispers somethig into Sianzi's Ear
The_Guild	Sianzi takes Lopez' hand and gives it a squeeze, smiling uncertainly at him. Sianzi starts speaking in a low tone. "There was this... this guy... I... I liked him a lot, but he was a real jerk...".
Alice	"You don't need to say it outloud if you don't want."
The_Guild	"No, no... I want to... for the longest time... I just wanted to be with him..." Tears glimmer in her eyes. "But then, this one night, we were at this party, and I got drunk and it was all my fault, but... but I told him I loved him, and he laughed...". "But then later that night..." And now the tears trace her cheeks, "He took me by the hand and led me into a room. I thought he... he wanted to... to talk, but... Jeth, I was such an -idiot!-...".
Alice leans back and closes her eyes.
The_Guild	"And I thought I wanted to, but then when he... he... and I knew I didn't, but he wouldn't stop, and I tried to scream but there was music and nobody heard me, and when he was done he just laughed again and left... And then he... he told everybody that I'd thrown myself at him, and nobody would believe me 'cause they were all his friends." She is crying freely now.
Lopez squeezes her hand gently
Alice	"Okay, I am almost ready." Alices tone is quiet and serious.
The_Guild	She cries for several minutes until suddenly, abruptly, she stops. With a sniffle she raises her head, wiping her cheeks. "Did it work?" Her voice is curious, devoid of any sad emotion.
Alice	"Do you remember why you were crying?"
The_Guild	"You were removing a memory, right?"
Alice	"Yes."
The_Guild	She thinks for a bit, then says, "I left myself a note, didn't I?"
Alice	"Yes. Go ahead and read it. Just take it easy for a minute."
The_Guild	"It's okay, I feel fine." Her brow furrows and she looks up at the ceiling.
Alice	"Okay then. We are going to be monitoring you for a bit to make sure everything went okay. If you notice anything weird contact me."
The_Guild	She blinks and her eyes go wide. "I was raped?" She immediately claps a hand over her mouth.
Alice	"Yes, you asked me to remove the memories and everythign associated with it."
The_Guild	"But..." She looks at you, then at Lopez, still holding her hand. "How can I live with knowing I was raped, but not by who? How..." She looks at Lopez again, and jerks her hand away. "Who?"
Alice	"It wasn't him. You only just met Lopez."
The_Guild	"But how can I know that? How can I trust anybody now?" She seems to be getting hysterical now.
Lopez	Shhhh..you trusted me to hold your hand when you were sacred. not every man out there did that to you. you have to build trust somewhere I wouldn't harm you Ma'am, its not in me to debase myself to that...that...king of thing that would take another being against his or her own will
Alice	"Do you want to know who did it? I can tell you that." Alice tone is still serious and calm. Somewhat neutral.
The_Guild	She smiles at Lopez, and, after a moment she takes his hand once more and gives it a brief squeeze before letting go. She thinks about it for a moment, then nods. "Yes, tell me who it was!"
Alice	"Miguel Roston."
The_Guild	She gasps. "Really?!" She looks excited for a second, then repulsed, and then thoroughly confused.
Alice	"It may take a bit to get used to. It was him and you hated him for it. It hurt you enough that you wanted me to remove the memory."
The_Guild	Sianzi rubs her head. "I... I have to think about this. I'll see you around." She gets up and runs off.
