Early</span></strong></div></div><strong>Name</strong>: Braxton Early<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Captain<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Line, cargo bay, Shadow<br/><strong>Time:</strong>3rd of september, 2505, shortly after nightfall<br/><strong>With:</strong>Cassie, Mya<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>"Is all that yours?“</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>”No.”</strong>Braxton looked down at himself. There was no gaping, bleeding hole in him that he had missed over the adrenaline surge and thrill of combat.<strong>”Must be Sue’s.”</strong><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>"Where else are you hit?  Come sit down while I check you out.”</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>”This is no time to lay down! Come on, grab your gear! We have to find Sue!”</strong>Braxton told the medic and limped back towards the loading ramp. Cassie, the dock worker Sue had picked up, was crouched behind her mule, guarding the door with a…<em>crossbow</em>? Braxton moved up beside her and peered outside. It was a ruttin’ warzone, though the shooting seemed to be very one-sided. The dead and dying wore red union vests and they littered the streets and the landing pad outside where they had enjoyed free soup just moments ago. It was dark outside, but Braxton thought he could make out Sue lying between the bodies on the landing pad.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>"Cap'n what in all that's holy is going on down there? I've got the engine idling but I can rev her up fast. Just say the word? Soon's we got everyone back in the Line's belly we can break atmo on this backwater hell hole and be in the Black. Let them shoot each other full of holes if they want."</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>”Don’t take off! Sue’s still outside and I think he has been shot. I will lead a team to recover him. Get to the gunnery station and if anyone shoots at us, you blind them with the searchlight!”</strong><br/><br/>Once he had had given his orders to the pilot, Braxton turned to Cassie.<strong>”Want to earn some danger pay with your mule? My medic is going to need some cover to work, and later something to get my man Sue back inside.<br/><br/>And put away that silly toy of yours! The guys outside have machineguns and you are going to play cowgirl and Injuns with your little bow? Don’t you know how these stories always end?”</strong>Braxton asked.<strong>”Besides, they are the ruttin’ <em>law</em> in these parts even if they don’t act like it. Nobody shoot, even if you are shot at! Put away your pieces if you go outside! There is no point in fighting them and if they see us with weapons, they are all the more likely to shoot us.”</strong>Braxton ordered and put his own gun back in its holster.
