It's a Long Way from Kurkiara, Now Isn't it? (Elsa, and Myself)

"You will be well supplied, Her majesty will be aboard you vessel in two hours. We will need you to dock at the Subjugtor's 23rd hanger." She handed him a chip with a hologram of where the hanger was relative to the hull. "As for Kona, She has been decommissioned. To many bugs need worked out, the implant on my brain was worn and I had to undergo a surgery for a new one. Kona will be back though, better than ever actually. Just tell Rei that Kona is going through updates and will better soon. her berserk nature is going to be repaired most of all." she stated.

"Hmm, I hope no one tries to lay a hand on my ship, that isn't my own mechanics. I've had to destroy small civilizations due to how many fights the thousands of Mechanics I have get into. They're rather possessive of the ship. However I enjoy that in a crewman. Shows their dedication." Siegmeyer replied, turning on his heel and starting to make his way back towards his ship. "I'll remember that, see you around, lovely." He called as he walked back towards his transport, and troopers.

Within the hour the ship was docked like asked, and Siegmeyer was waiting on the platform with at least a 100 of his soldiers. All armed and ready, guarding the ship, and making sure that no one who wasn't authorized to come aboard. After all, supplies turning up missing wasn't a good thing, and extra damage to the ship was only a good way to upset the mechanics more.

a few workers arrived to the dock where the ship was, "These are all the supplies, we can load them or you can, it doesn't matter to me." the dock officer said looking at his tablet with shiping orders on it.

At last The High Priestess approached with 5 honor guards. She stood in the middle at 5.6 feet, significantly shorter compared to her Vampir guards. the Guards were of a lesser class of vampire and had all had deep grey eyes. These ones were immortal but only to time, they were as fragile as a human in terms of combat without any rapid healing abilities. Unlike the High order and Priestesses, who were damn near immortal in almost every aspect. Kursten wore her typical purple outfit and black jacket, She believed that in order to be one with the people, you must engage with them on their level rather than making yourself superior.

She approached Siegmeyer lookingat him for a second as if she didn't know who he was. But then she quickly smiled and hugged him while on her tippy toes, "Siegmeyer, It is so good to see you again!" She left off and stepped back. "Why didn't you keep contact with us?" she asked with her head slightly turned side ways like a confused puppy.

"I had my reasons priestess. I resigned from Kurkiara years ago, no longer a citizen, nor a member of anything but the religion." Siegmeyer replied, he gave no response the woman's hug, always finding it strange to return contact with the Priestesses, unless given permission to do so. "Why the honor guards? I don't plan on allowing them to board. My men are sufficient, your honor guard would prove nothing more than useless to me. Aside from being bullet sponges for a few seconds." He commented, as he looked over the five men that had accompanied the Priestess. "Now then, shall we Priestess? You know much more than I about this operation anyways."

"The Prophet says I must have them at all times. But this time they were just escorting me." she said. Kursten was a rather delightful person to be around despite the fact that she sacrificed her family to finalize the birth of the Kurkairian Empire. "Are all the weapons on board my dear friend?" she asked him as they walked to his ship.

"Yes priestess, I had my crew members move everything aboard already. However I did not ask for weapons, only ammunition. But the extra firepower may prove slightly useful." Siegmeyer replied as he walked with Kursten, making his way towards the walkways that let up into his ship. "I must ask, did you seek me on purpose, or purely by chance?"

"Oh you are funny, the weapons are not for you, they are for the rebels. But yes a few of these supplies are for you." They walked up into the ship before she responded to his question, "I wanted it to be you. You are the only I know who can whip anyone into a dedicated military."

"Well then, Kurkira's military is in worse shape than I thought. You would think you would have generals, much more suited for this, rather than myself." Siegmeyer replied as he boarded his ship, and began to walk towards the bridge. However he made sure the Priestess was able to keep up for now, despite knowing how strong the vampires were. Due to his suit, was as strong, if not stronger.

"The problem lies with that their training would go noticed as Kurairian descent. Its all about the politics Siegmeyer." She said as they walked to the bridge.

"I never was one for politics. That's why I left with the men I did. I'm just an army for hire now, nothing more." Siegmeyer replied once more, walking into the bridge, he sat down in his captains chair once more. "Pull up a seat anywhere. Unless you'd prefer to be shown to one of the few empty rooms we have."

She took an empty seat, "well we are hiring you now my friend." she said as she pulled out a piece of paper. The paper had the seal of the prophet and on it was written a promise that the Empire will build Siegmeyer an all new ship from scratch to his liking and specifications. "I promise you wont be displeased my friend." she smiled handing him the paper.

"You have offered me something that I will not need. This ship is the only one I need, it has served well enough, despite its size. Keep your offer to yourself, I do not plan to replace this ship, until it is quite literally falling apart." Siegmeyer replied, leaving the paper in Kursten's hand. "Besides, while my crew is special forces. They don't handle change well, unless it's combat related."

"I see, well we can arrange something. Anyways go to these coordinates." She handed him a rectangular chip roughly the size of a credit card. "Once we enter the space around the planet, I will no longer exist on this vessel. ja? good." she meant that figuratively, for if the the RIS go word of her presence, they would attack on sight.

"Understood." Siegmeyer replied, slipping the chip into one the many slots in the main hub of the bridge. Soon enough Rei took over again, directing the ship off the planet, and towards the coordinates. "Rei, you asked about Kona for the past day or so. I spoke with Viola, she said Kona is fine, however her outdated hardware is finally going through updates it appears."

She sat quietly planning and scheming during the ships jump.

Soon enough while the ship was travelling, Siegmeyer stood up, and excused himself from the bridge. "Ladies and Gentlemen. It's been a long day, sound the call for everyone to get to the barracks. I don't plan on fighting with a bunch of sleep walking troopers." On his command, Rei immediately sounded a short blast, and it was easy to see that the men and women of the ship were on their way back to the assigned barracks. Siegmeyer was one of the only few who got a room to himself, however he had six others installed should someone of higher status need to stay on the ship.

Within the next few minutes Siegmeyer was in his room, it was rather bare, only containing a rack for his armor, a dresser, a bed, and a desk. Of course there were several little hidden items, like small pistols, and blades should someone break in and try to kill him. "Rei, please leave my room, and escort the priestess to a room, unless she makes another request." He spoke calmly, since he knew Rei was there to make sure he was alright, since Siegmeyer had never done well at night, after he had separated himself from the suit. However he was becoming stronger overtime, and likely would be able to completely removing the outside stimulus.

With that in mind, now that Siegmeyer was alone, he began to the task of removing his gear, first came his helmet, and three small tubes with needles attached on the inside of the helmet. They still dripped with an orange fluid, however the flow quickly ceased, after being removed from the main tank in the chest armor. Now came the hard task of removing his gear, the chest piece, which he tore off as quickly as he could. Of course when he set it down, he noticed that he was bleeding a bit heavier than usual from his chest and abdomen, apparently the new stimulus chemicals the doctors had come up with, had some rather adverse side effects. Of course Siegmeyer was quick to pick up a roll of bandages he kept in his room for this, and wrapped up most of his chest, and stomach. However there was still quite a good deal of skin showing between the too areas.

Rei quickly found where the Priestess was, and projected herself in front of the woman, "Kursten, I am here to escort you to your quarters. Unless you wish otherwise."

"I will follow to the room you have picked out, rei." She said standing up from the seat. She followed the AI's directions to an empty room with a similar lay out as a normal single bed barracks. It was not very large, a desk to the right and the bed to the left upon entering. Next to the desk was a closet for clothing and a view port on the wall across from the door. Kursten rolled her one luggage case up to the bed before closing the door. She turned around and made way to the case and opened it. Inside was a tablet and clothing, and several stainless steel bottles filled to the rim with virgin human blood.

She pulled out the tablet and set it on the bed before lifting up to dress to pull down her panties. Once she lifted her left foot out of the hole, she then lifted her right and put them in a separate pocket of the case. She took her jacket off and threw it over the chair that sat at the desk, then took off her boots and thigh high socks. After completely undressing, she put on a pair of panties and crawling into the bed where she would lay there saying a long drawn out prayer to herself before falling asleep with the Tablet stood up by her bed side.

"Dammit, Rei...get me a medic....and try to make sure that Kursten doesn't follow me. I'd rather not lose another pint or two of blood tonight, along with this bleeding." Siegmeyer said calmly, as he made his way to the door. Pushing it open he walked down the hallway now, towards the medical bay. However when the call he put into Rei went unnoticed, since she had busied herself with running the ship now.

"Dammit Rei, I need to install a damn comm link in my room, soon." He muttered under his breath, as he walked. It was easy to tell he had lost quite a bit of blood, and being separated from his usual chemicals didn't help much. Along the way he did bump into a few walls, and several doors, including the one that Kursten was staying in. However the force his body hit the door with, was not enough to even budge the door, if anything it made a loud thump at best.

"I swear....why did I agree to let the damn scientists, and medics do this to me?" Siegmeyer growled once more, he was moving rather slowly down the hallway. Considering the fact Kursten's room was only fifty feet way from his own, he was going nowhere fast. However he had a shot at making it to the medics before passing out. "Also need to install more cameras that Rei, has access to, so I can avoid death...I swear, I'm a military tactician, and leader....you'd think something like this would come to mind."

she awoke to the bag on her door, she was startled and drew her particle blade quickly. Once she realized it came form behind the door, she got up and out of bed only to throw on her purple and black jacket. It was long enough to cover herself and most of her panties. She opened the door with the sword still in hand until she noticed Siegmeyer not in his suit and struggling to walk. She deactivated the blade and stuffed it in a pocket as she ran to his aid.

"Siegmeyer! are you alright?" She said as her run slowly turned to a jog and then halting only a few feet before him. She could smell the blood... and see it dripping on the floor. Her deep purple eyes turned to a flat color. Her tongue now licking her exposed fangs. She about to lose control when she smacked herself and shook her head furiously, "Snap out of it," She said to herself. She approached siegmeyer trying to give him a hand, "Wait here. I'll got get the Medical staff!" She said trying to get him to sit down and wait.

"They're asleep. Leave them alone, you'll wake up the barracks. I just need to find wherever my damn scientist is." Siegmeyer replied, his voice still sounded strong as usual. However a little more strained as he walked alone. "Just need to scold him for the damn chemicals he put in that batch he used in my suit. Bastard nearly killed me." At this point it was easy enough to tell he was starting to lose focus, after all he had a vampire in the same hall as him, he was bleeding heavily. Yet he was playing it off, as if it was nothing more than a flesh would, and a damn human was standing before him.

"Also, wouldn't recommend drinking my blood. It could do one of two things to you, according to my scientist....make you stronger....or kill you. I don't know the numbers though on that one." As Siegmeyer spoke though, he looked down the hallway, and saw a man walking the other way, with a medical cart. "Be a dear, Kursten...fetch that man, I'm rather sure that's my doctor...maybe."

"Ja, ja." She responded before dashing off after the man. Her sprinting was enhanced by the vampirism making her physically stronger then what she appeared to be.

"Hey! Hey! I need your help!" She yelled out to him as she got closer. "Siegmeyer needs help! I need you to come with me!" she stated to him.

The doctor turned on his heel quickly, picking up a few supplies, apparently he already had anticipated this happening to Siegmeyer. The doctor himself was a little different strangely enough, instead of being human, he looked more canine, with black fur, and a set of pointed ears atop his head. "I knew I smelled blood, and heard someone talking. I just didn't think it was Siegmeyer." He commented as he walked towards the bloodied heap that was his captain. He bent down, and set to his work, striping the old bandages, and giving several injections into the wounds where he bleed from. They were meant to remove some of the chemicals from Siegmeyer's body that were causing this whole ordeal.

"Lieutenant Smith, thank you for being smart enough to know how to treat this.....lately these chemicals haven't been easy on my body, it's getting progressively worse." Siegmeyer said calmly, as he felt the bleeding start to slow, several alcohol covered rags clean away the blood, and fresh bandages wrap around him once more. Before he knew it though, the Scientist was helping him up, and gone a few seconds later.

"Priestess, I shouldn't ask this of a vampire, however I have more important things to attend to right now. Several soldiers have fallen sick, and I need to run. Please take Siegmeyer back to his room, and watch over him for a bit, make sure he's not going to die." The Lieutenant called out, and with that he was gone in an instant, already making his way out of the long corridor, and turning left.

"Come on Siegmeyer, lets get you to your room." She helps him up and takes him to his room to set him down on his bed. She may have been shorter than him but she had the strength to support his weight.

"Rest now.." her eyes slowly starting to turn again. in an instant she is back to normal after shaking it off.

Siegmeyer looked up at the ceiling from where he lay, then his eyes darted over to his gear. Such an evil creation, one that truly embodied how much humans lusted for power, yet one he relied on so heavily. He was likely to drop dead without it. "Priestess, my apologies for waking you, and likely sending you into a frenzy. Thank you though for your assistance...I don't know how I can repay you however. I have already obliged to join you in this operation. However if there is every anything else you need, just ask."

"no no you are fine, my friend. however i must run tot he room real quick... I need to umm go quench my blood lust really quick. It is over due after all." She walked through the door and closed it behind her and approached her room. Kursten opened her door and entered, she closed the door and spent some time leaning back against the door. her body swaying slightly as she approached one of the many bottles of blood. the bottles were a thin plastic so she could bite the side and begin sucking from it.
