The 8 december... sheesh, i really need to get myself into this crappy thingy...After Gold’s decision to save Orion:
We kept walk for just a while more. Appareantly, it wasn’t that far to go as Gaia and I thought it to be. Perhaps time was just flying away… Perhaps. Tammer stopped by a building, pulled a card through a small box, pushed a few buttons and a click was heard that was followed by a low ’beep’. A door opened a few steps away from me and Tammer nervously looked around as to check that no one was close. He seemed to sigh in relief.
”Ok, guys..” he said, slightly frightened. ”We’ll only have one chance if we’re lucky, so you two has to do it quick! I don’t think I’ll get in trouble for this little ’accident’, but you never know, right?”
Gaia nodded, I just followed her movements. I was dealing with my thoughts in that moment, and they had alot to tell me. Tammer walked in with his gun pretty high. We sneaked after him. Well, the best I could sneak that is.
After opening a few doors and avoiding guards for a while, Tammer was getting more and more stressed and nervous. He seemed not to worry about us, more about himself. Obviously, his so called career was pretty importnant to him. Anyway, now he couldn’t let us down, and that seemed to trouble him. I walked as in a never disappearing fog, I only followed all the others movements and voices. That seemed to be quite a problem.
”Gold! Come here quick!” I heard Gaia hiss. I turned around and tried to find them, when suddenly someone walked right into me. I took a few almost dancing steps to recover my balance before I checked to see who it was.
”Hey, whatch where yer goin, ya little bug!” I heard someone say in a angry tone. I saw that it was a glukkon. Well, it was the strangest glukkon I’ve ever seen. And largest too. He stared at me with his orange eyes. I was wordless, trying to find the right thing to say. He looked at me as if he waited for something. But everytime I tried to say something, my tounge stumbled and fell over itself, making my words into small hummings and nervous small half-words.
”Well, get the heck outta here and do yer work, bug. I’m not here to watch ya tryin to explain stuff…” he growled. I suddenly noticed that his clothing wasn’t as good as all other glukkons clothes was, was this one just a security guard or something?
”Ehm…” I said. I planned to run away for a while but I changed my mind. ”Sorry, boss, but I think I’ve forgotten where I should be… Do you happen to know?”
He looked on me as if I was mentally changed.
”Sir…” I started. He interrupted me with a yell;
”What the heck did ya just say? ’Excuse me sir, but I…’” He said, turning my question into something stupid.
”What do ye think I am, a fecking school nurse or somethin? Now, go to your station, or you can get the hell outta here!”
I heard almost nothing of what he said, suddenly it was like a wind blowing through my head. It sort of made me doze off a bit.
”Well, boss…” I started, feeling my mouth and feeding tentacles almost live their own life. ”I don’t think I’m one of those… Well, whatever they’re named, I’m none of them. Now, would ya show me to my station quick, cuz I need some moolah before this month is over, ok?”
I didn’t understand a word of what I said, but I had this feeling it was this way a slig was supposed to speak. And right in that moment I think I heard a voice inside my head said something on a language I've never heard before.. I just smiled when I followed the glukk to my ’station’.
