“I have a tracking device implanted in Kika, so we are going to find her and … Question her. Find the strategic weaknesses of the base where Jack is being held, and then remove Kika as a threat. Once we have the intel, we are going to try to save Jack.” Odysseus goes to the forward controls, and stares out the front window at the planet and star field outside. “She can’t have gotten far. Scanning for fuel trails… It’s an older ship, so… There. Seven candidates. Two from Mars. One with a congruent fuel trail originating from a sector near the Keepers base… I have her! Still in the solar system, and my ship has twin ion-boosters, which means we’re faster.” Odysseus flips several switches on the dash. “Flux circulators … Fluxing… Ok. SAL…” Odysseus pulls down his goggles. “Punch it.” Odysseus’ ship takes off after Kika’s ship.

“We’re not killing Kika. No, she doesn’t get off that easily. Let’s roll.” Odysseus places a pin on Geralt, and they are teleported in a shimmering blue light to Odysseus’ ship.

((I’m sorry 🙁 That’s happened with me a few times too.))

“Geralt, if you ever want to see Rose again, you are going to help me. I know that Jack won’t die, but only God knows what Midzog plans to do to him. We cannot risk having him as an enemy. So we are going to find him, and we are going to get him back. And we are going to find Kika first of all. You’re the one who was so eager to protect her, so you owe me this. Unless, of course, you wish to never see Rose again? Do you understand me?” Odysseus’ hands stop shaking.

<i>Odysseus stands in the doorway of the room. </i>”We have to save Jack.” Odysseus turns to Geralt. “And you’re going to help me.”

(Ok. Revised.) <i>Odysseus stands in the room with Geralt, having heard everything. His hands begin to shake. </i>”We have to save Jack…”

((What do you need changed?))

<i>Odysseus shakes Geralt’s hand. </i>”I’ll tell you everything, but first, we have some business to attend to. I’ll catch up with you soon. For now, we need to get to Mars.” Odysseus and Geralt dissapear ina blue shimmer, as they are teleporter to Odysseus’ ship.
[Flash Forward]
Odysseus’ hands are shaking as they orbit Mars. “Ok, here’s the plan. My illness is acting up right now, which means I am on the brink of an episode, meaning that we are splitting up and it will probably be a bad day for a lot of OGA officers. I really hoped that Jack and Kila wouldn’t do something stupid, but they went to the heart of one of Midzog’s experimental bases. Which means that we have to save them. I’m teleporting you to the south quarter, and I’m coming in from the north. Good luck.” The two are teleported down to the planet.

Ozymandias steps into the room where Jack is about to be killed, looking at them from the balcony. He shouts, “Stop, Midzog. I must say, I am dissapointed. Do you have any idea how many hours I will have to take to explain this to the Council? If it weren’t for the fact that it would draw too much attention to me and that Jack was inside, I would have had this base bombed with all of you in it! It is not his TIME!” Sparks fly across Ozymandias’ armor in his rage.

((Chat turned on?)) “Yes, that was partially the reason for my strange behavior. And people might have died, because of my… Illness. Nothing certain, but disappearances in the same sector I was in, or witnesses. In essence, I don’t trust myself entirely. I keep losing time. So…”

“I’ve come to realize that the Keepers are more of a hindrance than a help to our cause, so I’ve left them. They lack purpose and conviction, and as a result I’ve lost my ace in a hole. As for why you, my purpose is threefold, two of the reasons being quite selfish. The first reason is that I failed to convince Rose and her team to join me, and I think that you might be able to convince them instead of me. I need them as assets; they’re almost as promising as the original Keepers, if not more so. Second of all, my illness has worsened. Recently, I’ve lost more and more time. A week most recently. I’ve woken up in strange situations, with no recollection of what was happening. And recently, I woke up with blood. I need someone to look after me, a caretaker, if you will. And someone to carry on my work should I prove… A threat due to my illness. As for why you specifically, I think that I can trust you. As I said, romantics like you are rare in the present world that we live in, but I think that we need more people like you. Basically, Geralt, I need you.”

“I figured as much. And as for how I tracked you, as I’m sure you’re wondering, it’s simple. Microscopic hyper-trackers injected into your blood. Some in drinks. Yours was in the injections I provided on the planet. I like to keep an eye on my assets. I must say, it is truly touching to see a romantic soul like yours in a world like this, even if it is out of place. I even happen to have a tracker on Rose…” <i>Odysseus coughs, staring wearily at Geralt.</i>
-
<i>Odysseus taps Geralt on the shoulder. Odysseus is clearly worn and tired. </i>”Hello, Romeo.”

Odysseus watches Geralt from a nearby rooftop, and continues to track him, pulling his coat around himself as the train pours down. “The poor man… He’s heartbroken. But I need him.” Odysseus swings down from the roof, following directly behind Geralt.

Odysseus wakes up with a jolt, as a silent alarm flashes on his viewing monitor. A massive OGA ship is moving above his ship. “SAL, cloaking! Now!” Suddenly, as Odysseus’ ship becomes cloaked, an entire fleet emerges. “What are OGA ships doing this far out…?”
-
(ok. Pre time jump story left)
Odysseus sits in his ship in deep space, monitoring the locations of each of his team mates. “Hopefully none of them will do something stupid…”
