<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="color: #FF0000"> Raphael Leithausser </span></span></div><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #FF0000"> 'Geek' </span></div><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><a class="postlink" href="http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o793/Galvin_Fugazi/734f27ef-4950-4414-8d5e-a6e5aee4eaff_zpsf8ae4622.jpg">[ img ]</a></div><br/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Geek had lead the Princess back to the pile of parachutes and sat her down. He grabbed scissors, superglue, a baseball cap, tin foil and some cloth and sat down next to her. She looked at him when he started to cut triangles out of the tin foil and of the cloth. Catching her curious look, he grinned and placed the baseball cap on her head, adjusting it to her size. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Well, I fear someone may try to kill you, lady. By sending some signal to activate the breaker in your heart. If it is really a safeguard, then I guess that the control for it is wired into your implants in your brain, Freya. I would do so, if I had to design it. What I am making now is some shield for the signals. Incoming and outgoing. That’s the problem. Once we use that, they won’t receive any signals from you, so we have no idea how they may react then. We can’t use it now, at least not until we have ambushed the rescue party. And we need to ambush the rescue party, if we want to enter Ovia as free people.“</span><br/><br/>Geek could see that the idea of ambushing her own people didn’t sit well with the princess. He would feel the same, if he were her. But there was no other way. They just could try to keep the casualities to a minimum. Which would be risky enough already. Geek took the hands of Freya and looked into her eyes.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Look, Freya. I know that you believe that we could all march into Ovia and you could discuss it all out with your parents. But it will not happen. You can’t negotiate out of a position of weakness. Why should anybody grant you something costly, if he can have it for free? If you enter Ovia with us, then we all know that we will end in the Arena. What we know is, that your lower castes have no rights and that they are controlled tightly by your authorities. We don’t plan to storm the inner rings of Ovia. We will take the outer ring, make those weapon locking signals useless and then nobody can attack us, because the majority of your own military will guard us. And then we talk. We come from a planet, where we strongly believe in diplomacy. We had once been over a hundred countries and now they are all history. We try to find solutions working for all parties. But I agree that it is not working all time. Some people don’t want to listen. But your parents are safe, your nobles are safe, until they decide to attack us. Then we will fight.“</span><br/><br/>Geek saw that Freya was still not happy about the plan. He grinned again, giving her a wink.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Oh, come on. You can’t really expect us to walk into Ovia without having our asses guarded. I remember a Princess here, threatening to kill every single one of us some hours ago. Even if you can’t remember it. But you can ask everyone here and they will all tell you the same story. I know that it was your alter ego and that you probably wouldn’t have done so, but, hey, we don’t really know you. Why don’t you help me understanding you better, by telling me something from your youth. Before the hunting accident. How did you grow up? Do you have brothers, sisters, cousins? Or what do you like to do in your leisure time? What does a princess do in Ovia all day long?“</span></div>
