Dawnbreaker: Legacies - Deleted Scene - Harrington's Return

[JA-394]

"Yes... but uh... the controls for the ship aren't compatible for other species..." Angel admitted, "You'll need me to be on the ship to operate it."

[Rattler]

"Eleanor's still out there," Sakura said. "And I am sick and tired of being told I can't go looking for her."

She took a deep breath.

"I've got a general idea of where she is, and I'm gonna go find her."

[Aeliss Novak]

"Four of the most dangerously powerful people on the planet are also out looking for her; you can't just run off without a plan." Erika said, apparently ignoring Sakura's complaint about people telling her what she can't do.

[Rattler]

"What do you expect me to do?!" Sakura snapped. "And I'm kinda the 'make it up as you go' type of planner at times."

[Tyler294]

"Do you wanna face Firehawk alone?" Tracy asked Sakura.

[Rattler]

"Do you want to leave a seven year old alone out there for Firehawk to find?" Sakura shot back, her frustration at being caged up again boiling over.

"What would you do if you were in my position Tracy?" she asked. "How would you like to be told to pretty much abandon someone, who you've been responsible for, to save your own ass?"

[Aeliss Novak]

"That seven year old broke four of a doctor's fingers without hesitation when he tried to stitch her up." Erika interjected. "Honestly, I'd worry more about you out alone than her. Being responsible for someone means being responsible for yourself first."
    "Besides, bad news might be pertinent." She glanced over at Kyle when she said this.

[Tyler294]

"How so?" Braddock inquired.

[JA-394]

"For one, the Advent alphabet has over a thousand digits, numbers, and symbols and no number system of its own compared to Basic's 26 letters and 10 numbers," she stated matter-of-factly, "That ship was built three centuries ago, before my ancestors had any contact with outside species. If it is compatible with other races, I don't know how to do it, and to figure out how would take a very, very long time.

"What I can do is use the master computer aboard the ship. It's at the bridge. You can surround me with an armed escort if you like. I'll keep you up to date on whatever you need me for. And one more thing - please don't take my clothes and my sewing utensils. Those are part of my heritage and I would quite like to keep them."

[Garyn Dakari]

"Yeah... the other bad news... is that Zin is dead." Kyle said in reply to Erika's prompt.

[Rattler]

Sakura recoiled in surprise.
"What?" she asked.

[Tyler294]

Tracy blinked again.

"How?"

"I see. You'll be expected to follow orders in how you operate the ship, then." Braddock warned, "Remember, you are a citizen, or were, rather, not an officer or politician. We will gladly take advice, but our decision is final."

[Garyn Dakari]

"Angel killed him. Or at least that's what Marissa said... which leads me to the one bit of good news, which is she woke up." Kyle replied.

[JA-394]

"Understood," Angel replied.

...

"I can get your men acquainted with the ship at any time. But I do have a question - are my friends safe from all of this?"

[Tyler294]

Tracy tapped the side of the bed with her good hand.

"At least we didn't lose her too..."

She closed her eyes.

"It's starting..."

"If you refer to the ones you called "the marked", then yes, they are safe. We are attempting to locate the nearest family of each of them in order to move them to safety as well. It would be helpful if you listed all of the individuals that you believe are being threatened." Braddock responded.

[JA-394]

"I've already listed as many as I know of," Angel said, then after a momentary pause, added with, "Just keep them away from me. My presence has ruined all of their lives beyond repair. If we're lucky, with that... thing... that was in the Urn now in the physical essence of a body, Harrington will go after it, and leave them alone."

She somehow knew those words weren't true, and it didn't take a professional to see it on her face.

Shaking her head, she said softly, "Maybe he'll come for me instead."
