Violence has been a huge outbreak in a lot of places so somehow Kat was not surprised to hear that Blandar was also experiencing the same thing. She wondered herself if they were trying to make this planet like Earth, maybe a little too much like Earth from the looks of things. A lot of things were starting to bother her, especially when the woman came on the speaker and told them that the government covers up a lot of what actually goes on here. This was a fairly new settlement; as the announcer said this place has only been up and running for twenty years or more perhaps, considering the voices sounded a little older than twenty years. Blandar itself, however, was discovered, from what he remembers from, class, about one hundred years ago.<br/><br/>Either way, it was still new. Sometimes people either take advantage of or dislike new things, depending on a number of things.<br/><br/>It was crowded as hell leaving the safe area and Kat made sure to stick close to Eric so she wouldnâ€™t lose him. Or lose any of her stuff for that matter â€“the whole crime thing put her a bit on edge. Once they got outside, she relaxed a bit however. Everything was soaked from the rain and people were out cleaning up the mess the strong winds had made. From what she gathered, the city was comprised of something like Victorian era architecture and what seemed to be mid two thousand and twelve technology overall as well and more modern style attire and atmosphere. Definitely a newer civilization, one seemingly thrown together, considering such technology was significantly outdated but two thousand years. Then again this might just be where they were located. Chances are this was a newer city and they probably couldnâ€™t bring all they wanted with them.<br/><br/>â€œYeah, that looks fine.â€ Kat gave a nod when Eric pointed to a motel close by. It was a damn shame the storm was going to come back againâ€¦ which brought her to a bit of musing: â€œIâ€™ll bet this storm is definitely manmade. What do you think?â€ She asked his opinion on it as well. There were just several things on her mind that didnâ€™t seem to be adding up, even if it probably wasnâ€™t any of their business to get involved with it. It still had her curious, and she couldnâ€™t help but question.<br/><br/>Prior to their trip, they had been given a card that was compatible with the currency used on this planet that they could use to pay for whatever as long as they donâ€™t overspend. The motel manager seemed reluctant to accept the cards at first, but payment was payment and he soon showed them to their rooms. One thing Kat found peculiar was that the managerâ€™s arm was bandaged and he seemed to have a cold. This only added to her suspicions of this violence thing; was this city ran by some gang? Somehow she felt there was more to this simple mission of detaining a drug smuggler.<br/><br/>It made her glad that she brought all she did.<br/><br/>When they reached their room, which was on the third floor, Kat claimed the bed closest to the window by throwing her bags on it. She may be a woman, but she only packed two bags to keep herself at least somewhat organized. Reaching for the bag with all her weapons and stuff, she pulled out her pistol and knife. She placed them on the bed. â€œPick one, if you want.â€ She told Eric. â€œIf you do, whichever you choose better come back to me in one piece once weâ€™re done.â€ Pulling out the brochures she had stashed away, she added, â€œAnd you might want to take a look at these, too. Do you get an uneasy feeling when you read them or is it just me?â€
