((whee, I've got to catch up. I'll make up furniture when I get to my room XD I may or may not abuse commas in this post >__> ))
Ice was a bit behind everyone else, and she sprinted after Zari to catch up. Oh, wait, she's talking to someone or something, best wait a minute.. The paragon of manners, Ice told Zari that she was still willing to do something with her, whatever it was, she didn't know.
She heard noise, and someone running. Wow, first day or so and people are already going crazy o.O Undoubtedly someone could or was deal(ing) with it, she'd wait over here for the time being.

((And yes I know the doors slide open, but they have to slide in somewhere right? So the motor it slides by lets it slide by "invisible hinges". Thus Tirilia's post basically explained mine. I was posting towards you, Tiri. I accidently typed the wrong name in the beginning of my post, but I edited that.)) "What in blazes do you think youre doing?!"Good question, X... he thought to himself, What the heck am I doing? A drop of sweat ran down his face as he saw Zarah point her wrist at him, which must of course hold more toxins then an entire laboratoy had. Her snarl was definitely enough to make him flinch slightly, but he wasn't afraid in the least. He had faced worse than her. Lowering his gun now he noticed two other people come near and question him. They were the ones he had seen earlier near that cantina. One had a focused, laser pistol in her hand and the other was outwardly unarmed. Inside the room he could still see the raging anthro behind the crates. "I heard noises and expected the worse." X explained to the group. "After this afternoon's events you can't fault me for being cautious. You'd rather be blown up by a G26 proton?" X asked them as he holstered his magnum. His entire state was serious and he didn't mean anything funny by what he had said. Sarcasm was rarely ever used by him. She was just lucky he hadn't fired his handgun. She'd be one ear less and maybe have to get new leopard kidneys. This was definitely not one of his better days. He glanced over at the feline humanoid. "With the nosie you were making, Zarah, you could have been playing pattycake with a Mobile Doll for all I know." Shino said in a calm and cool tone.

Keng looked from X, to Zarah, to X, to the broken door, and finaly back to X. "You call breaking down a door being cautious?" she asked skeptically. "I don't know what dictionary you use but by my definition caution would imply a more subtle approach." it was now that she noticed the cadet badge sported by X, "Sir." she added, as this man apparently outranked herlowly merc. status. She payed no attention to the contents of her companion's room, it wasn't her buisness to be snooping in without invitation. Besides, even though she could see some of the leopoard-humanoid's weapons, that's all they were to her, some weapons and whatnot. She didn't know enough about the different weapons of the galaxy to label any of them. They were dangerous and you did not want to be hit or shot by them, what more did she need to know?
Guy, the delivary guy remained where he was, waiting for the OK and looking rather nervous. Having no clue what was going on.

And all of a sudden half the world had come pouring into her room! Half her luck that her armor is mostly under the bed and behind the tray.. her weaponry sets however lean against the wall for all to see.. many of them unique, one-of-a-kind long since removed from the underground market type stuff.
And then there was Keng.. The moment she had entered, it was too much for the automatically triggering darts.. too many unidentified people in the area, and it reads Zarah's speeding pulse like a doctor. A dart is instantly loosed towards Keng! Time slows for Zarah and with inhuman reflexes she slashes her right hand at her left, cutting open her own skin with very sharp claws. She freezes, unmoving.. her right hand trembles as it slowly opens.. the venomous dart sits in the middle of her bleeding palm.. It slips from her hand and drops to the floor, instantly beginning to dissolve and fizz into nothing.
"Are you mad" she says, it wasnt a question. Slowly she looks up, her eyes blazing. Her tone is quiet, still, shaken. Dangerous. "I could have killed you."
She seems to be genuinely upset by the possibility... too upset to respond to X's sarcasm.
Since when did you care if someone got killed?

"I heard noises and expected the worse," X said. "After this afternoon's events you can't fault me for being cautious. You'd rather be blown up by a G26 proton?" X sheathed his pistol, still talking. "With the noise you were making, Zarah, you could have been playing patty-cake with a Mobile Doll for all I know."
Hades suppressed laughter at the thought of a merc having a doll, letting his hand drift off of his own laser. "You call breaking down a door being cautious?" Keng said. "I don't know what dictionary you use but by my definition caution would imply a more subtle approach, Sir."
"Are you mad?" Zarah said, in a tone that clearly said ‘this is not a question’. "I could have killed you."
“Zarah,” Hades said, stepping forward. “Please answer X’s question.” He glanced around Zarah’s room, gaze pausing at the armour. That looks too darn familiar, he thought, frustrated. But where have I seen it before?

Zarah seems oblivious to Hades voice for a handful of moments, her blank stare set upon Keng... but eventually it fades, "What? What question? Was I playing with dolls?"
She steps subtly in front of the armor, blocking Hades view "Why would I answer a stupid question like that? Perhaps you ought to be asking our impolite friend here why he's so eager to barge down doors with weapons drawn, whilst refusing to lift a finger when faced with rampaging bikers..." She sneers at X "You call yourself a Cadet.. I call you a coward!" she returns a confident smirk at Hades, "personally Ive never known any sort of professional bomb-technician who makes that kind of noise.. have you?"

Amneiger was suddenly awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps outside his door. He managed to poke his head outside just in time to see a pair of security officers running down the hallway. What the...?
Amneiger followed the officers until they reached a corner, where they abruptly switched from running to walking. He could see a number of people - no, wait. These were the people he'd met earlier! Including that pilot. They seemed to be arguing with somebody in a room with a broken door. Amneiger decided to stay at the corner while the officers began to deal with the situation.

Hades looked at Zarah. "So, if you weren't playing with dolls, what were you doing? And X is a pilot, not a bomb technician." His eyes narrowed. "Or not that I know, at least. Both of you are hiding things. But then, so am I, though not as much as you. And please, could both of you stop insulting the other?"

Zarah moves away from the tray and towards the door, ushering everyone out by simply getting into their personal space. "A pilot who recognizes the thud of a hover tray settling on the floor, as bomb construction?!" she laughs.
"Your friend here", she says, speaking to Hades and motioning to X, "seems to have some hearing difficulties that really ought to be checked out...." her eyes burn for just a moment and her voice drops to an icy whisper, heard by no one but Hades "have you had a good enough look around my room now? Get out."

Once Zarah brought up the bikers again, X ignored her next words. How could she patronize him about those jockeys when her, herself never even lifted a finger till the fight was just about over? She ignored the guidance of the security drone and him. She had no respect for anyone else...and she insulted his rank. He had worked hard for his star that signified him as a Cadet Pilot. Usually he didn't give a thought to anyone who criticized him, but...
She really got under his skin.
"Your friend here, seems to have some hearing difficulties that really ought to be checked out....have you had a good enough look around my room now? Get out."
"Why don't you stop pushing air out of your mouth and listen for a minute." X said, putting a hand over her mouth. He held a finger up and then noticed the security guards coming their way. He didn't want another scene again. Especially since this crew had been ID'd by some Spacefleet officials earlier. X at least owed Hades for defending him and being kind in turn.
"I apologize for my actions. I didn't want something worse to happen to this station, while it just started a while ago." X admitted with his palm still over Zarah's lips. He leaned forward and whispered only so that she could hear, "Don't be so quick to react...when you have everything to hide." He took his hand off her face and back away. Security might think it strange that a shirtless guy was standing outside a busted-down door.

"Who ever said that he was my friend? I just prefer not listening to arguements, and though I could just go elsewhere, I would rather defuse the argument." Hades watched, slightly amused, as X shut Zarah up and backed away after a short speech. "You're hiding something," Hades said, softly enough so that only Zarah could hear. "And I will find out what it is eventually." He bowed, and backed up, ignoring the security guards.

Zari stuck her head out the door and grinned at Ice. 'Hi. You're lucky you didn't come earlier, Gak over here would have completely throttled you.' she said, quickly rearranging her room using telekinesis. 'Sorry 'bout that. Got called by an old friend. Hey, did you hear something? Lots of pretty wired emotions over there.' Zaha Miaowed, then sniffed at Ice's foot. 'Oh, calming down now. Okay, wonderful.'
((Ice, I presume you have a foot. For those who are Knights, this Zari has different abilities.))

((was the other way around shino your char didnt do anything til it was almost over dont worry bout changing it though)) A hand over her mouth?! How Dare he touch her! She feels her claws and fangs begin to lengthen in anger.. one fiercely clawed hand rests on his arm, the claws piercing into his skin right up until he lets her go. "Perhaps you shouldnt be so quick to judge.." she hisses back, her eyes narrowed. Her glare shifts to Hades and her scowl shifts back to a smirk, "We all have things to hide.. Mr Daman... You dig, I dig. Lets just be friends and love and trust one another huh?" she winks.. suggesting perhaps that her sources may just be a little better. Perhaps. "Besides, what would I stand to gain from blowing up my own home?" With that, she strides past both men, her fangs and claws retracted, and she blocks the drones from entering "There is nothing going on here except for faulty electronics. I suggest you get maintenance up here right now." "We heard reports of an excessively loud bang" "Metal doors tend to do that when they fall over. Mr X and Hades here can testify to that.." She glances at Hades with her sweetest smile, the drones also look between him and X.

Since he was standing behind a corner, Amneiger couldn't see who Zarah was talking to. However, he could hear her perfectly clearly. Yes, Zarah. Metal doors built, fitted and installed by the most technologically advanced organization in the vicinity of this planet just happen to "fall over" from time to time.
Amneiger needed to find out what happened here, but he didn't want Zarah to see him or realize that he had been there. He'd only get a chance to ask one of the other three before everybody went off in their own directions. He certainly was not going to ask X, which left Keng and Hades. So, if either of those two walked in his direction he would talk to them. If neither did, he'd just have to try to find them tomorrow.

“Only Mr. X, actually. I come here after the door…” he glanced at Zarah. “… fell down. And is that a challenge? You’re on.” Hades turned and strode back to his room. Zarah, if that was her real name, had more of a lead on him than he did on her. But he probably had better computers. Probably. Nothing was certain anymore.
((Amnei, feel free to have Hades walk past you.))
