Santiago "Neon Green" Verde's Story

Arriving in Wing City Spaceport wearing a t-shirt and shorts, quite different from usual attire, Santiago waited anxiously for Captain Grue. Santiago has never been in a plane before, let alone a spacecraft, so he was pretty nervous, which was a rare sight. His armor, a constant work in progress, was in a black duffle bag. He decided not to wear it, as wearing it to a spaceport wouldn't be the best idea, as it is the equivalent of driving a tank to work. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Grue was wearing a white leather coat and a purple shirt underneath with a yellow smiley face. Black jeans. Carrying a bag of miscellaneous clothing items from different stores, he rushed past random civilians to reach the waiting bay. Checking the picture of Neon on his phone, he scanned the room for the man with the duffle bag.

Approaching him, Grue spoke quickly and quietly as not to be heard by fellow civilians. "Neon, mate? I swear on my rubber aunt you better be the right guy." He shot a glance behind him, suggesting he was being tailed. "Walk and talk, kay? We're heading straight to my ship, just tell me everythin' bout the job on the way aight? Let's move like a pair of electrocuted frog legs."

"'Electrocuted frog legs.' , Eh? Nice analogy. I've got the gear in this duffle bag. Lets get goin'!" As he was talking, Neon absent-mindedly fiddled with a circuit board. It was at least a couple dozen years old, as it was made with lead solder. Placed in it were some lights and a some other electrical stuff. "You got your own spaceship? Nice. Let's get a move on, I still need to change into the...", He looked behind him to see if they were being tailed," ..suit"

"'Course I have a ship, you apricot nonce. Where's your head at?"

Two burly men in pristine business suits and shades walked among the crowd, standing out like sore thumbs. They carried shock batons and semi automatic handguns. They were looking for Grue as he was dealing with the lady who controlled the panels in this area. "Yes, yes. Number three, flaming decal, come on! Gonna miss the sales at Niihama."

The lady gave Grue a look of snyde irritation, before allowing them to proceed to his ship. "I got folks in there ready to take off. Expect the doors to shut behind you and then just hold on to something."

Looking back, Grue could see the men speaking with the lady.

"Shit!" He declared, "Sprint for it, bag-dude!" and started running for the ship as it's primary door lowered.

"Ah! Ah crap!"

Panicking, he fished a tomato sauce jar filled with circuits and speakers. Though intending only to disorient, the jar landed on one of the burly men's faces, causing him to trip and fall, as he accidentally discharged his weapon into his face. Ouch. By the time the jar, mistaken for a bomb, was spotted by spaceport police and the spaceport under lockdown, Neon and Grue were long gone.

As soon as Neon entered the ship, Grue shouted "We got our passenger!" and the doors shut as the ship leapt off the ground into Terran skies. Leading Neon to the lounge area, Grue inserted a record into an old fashioned gramophone and sat down on the recliner beside it. It began to play. The Captain took an extensive look at Neon, eyeing his bag.

"Not a bad trick you pulled back there." he said, "I'da just kept running. But I suppose you ain't a total apricot nonce." As he spoke, Grue was going his bag of high end clothes, and pulled out a crocodile scale jacket. "Worth it, in my opinion. I mean it's not like they were gonna wear it. And with a price tag like that? Only one buyin' it is some soulless twat in a floatin' space mansion." Standing up from his chair, Grue took off his white jacket and tried the crocodile one on. It was a couple centimetres short for his arms. In irritation, he threw the jacket down on the ground and shouted "Medium-large my ass! This is some twisted irony, right?

Resolving to forget about the stolen clothing, Grue finally addressed Neon. "Conditions. You tell me where I'm meant to be taking you. You pay half up front, or I dump you out and take whatever's in that bag. And I ain't landin' back on Terra to do so, bag-dude." Grue detached a small disco ball from his belt and twirled it around on his finger. He smiled at Neon and laughed like he had just pulled off a punchline.

"Half? That would be dishonest. Here, the whole thing"

Neon tossed Terra a little bag full of coins."You'll have to take them to the currency exchange, but it's well worth it. I didn't bother counting, I have some left over from the last time I... well, let's just say I have plenty for you." He studied a solar map, littered with red dots labeled things like "Midas bank robbery" and "Baguette mugging". He opened the 'New Terra: High Orbit' tab, and tapped the yellow dot labeled 'Soviet Moonbase Tchaikovsky'."See that moonbase? A group of scavengers stole some terraforming equipment. I am to recover said equipment. If you want to share the reward, you may come along, however, I ask you leave your crew onboard." He went to the nearby locker room to change into his suit, which was a Vintage US Military 2020 suit of full body armor, spraypainted black with neon fixtures, LEDs, and two chain whips, decorated similarly.

"I'll see you in due time, I'm fairly sure of it", Neon said before turning his suit on and activating his voice enhancer.

Time to kick ass.

Grue examined the bag of coins. They looked genuine, he just hoped that they were actually worth something. He had been swindled by well sounding folk before, and they had gotten a disco ball up their buttocks.

He listened to Neon as he gave his brief 'mission' instructions. Grue chuckled, "Not far at all, too easy." He yelled down the hallway to the pilot seat "Oi Rose! Just sent in new co-ords, no jollywhoppin'!" and lead Neon to the bathroom so that he could change into his suit. While in there, Grue continued to speak in a humorous manner, not taking Neon's words all too seriously.

"So vigilante work, huh? Hahaha... Nah, I won't judge ya. I admire the tenacity. The showmanship. First owner of this ship was a real dick. Slave trading, torture, a real unstylish gig. The everyman doesn't deserve that shit, ya know?" He sighed.

The ship was entering the moon's space. It was coming to a land. Neon exited the room fully suited up in his techno contraption.

Grue exclaimed loudly "Holy Hanukkah, mate! Full sci-fi! Yeah, I'm comin' with you. Gotta tell me what kinda scavengers we're up against, though. Need to know that biz." The infamous Captain grue holstered a laser pistol in its sheath. He swung what looked to be an M1 Garand on his back. Grue finally clicked his belt together, holding five disco balls and one shock baton. The doors open. Captain Grue was ready.

"The first owner of the ship was a hardened criminal, yes? No wonder I recognized the ship..."

Neon stopped reminiscing on exploits past and glanced over at Grue's rifle. "You can't fool me, Captain. That thing bares only the slightest resemblance to an M1 Garand. I do admire your appreciation over historical weaponry."

Once Neon and Grue were fully prepared. Neon switched on his vocal processor, which made his voice two times louder, occasionally glitch and jump, and a lot deeper to achieve a very intimidating voice. Grue thought it was tacky, and made sure to tell Neon that he thought so. Neon thought so too sometimes, until he realized that he could overtake a bandit base simply by willing them to, in some cases.

Grue hopped out first, followed by Neon. As Grue was ready to forcefully enter with laser weapons in hands, Neon stopped him. "Grue, g-go for that green-n dome while I take out the t-tr- bzzt- trash. Now, if you excuse m-me, tax dollars at hard work!" Neon quipped sarcastically as he detonated an EMP, which bathed the base in darkness. The red flashing emergency lights went on, creating a scary atmosphere.

By the time Captain Grue could say anything, Neon had already started slicing and dicing with his twin chain whips.

The Captain reluctantly nodded to Neon's instruction. While he would've liked nothing more than to blast at a couple scoundrels, Grue isn't out for bloodlust. Besides, he found it entertaining to explore a dark moon base. One for the bucket list. Behind him, Neon was already getting to work. "Showoff!" He yelled, before moving on. Grue held his handgun in his right and threw his left palm out in front of him, open. With a single thought it shone like a yellow torch which gave him vision as he headed around hallways for the green dome. He turned around another corner just as-

"Hey!" A scavenger shouted, his gun aimed at Grue as he held cover behind a crate.

"Waddup?" Said Grue, hand shining.

"Who are you meant to be?" he asked, genuinely confused.

"Oh. Uh... Gai Wither-Gahn. Tech chat."

"Gai Whater-what?"

PZEW as a burning laser shot flew towards his head.

"Sorry, I meant 'Guy with a gun. Take that'. Common misconception."

And with that, Grue would continue dancing towards the dome as his left hand shone through all hues of color.

As Cap'n Grue finally made his way to the dome, he saw Neon Christmas Wrapping the terraforming equipment.
"Oh yeah, did I say I was w-w-working for the Gov-mint or whatever? Heheh. NOPE! Here, help me load this crap on the ship. You can keep all the food, ammo, and g-gun crates for yourself. I'm delivering the equipment and your field report to HQ. Good work." A huge space ship breached the top of the dome, then dropped a ladder. "Later, Nerd!", said Neon, cackling as he rode away on the ladder with the Christmas wrapped equipment. In his wake, he left a Vinyl record and a holographic business card saying:

Santiago Verde.
New Terra: S-Colony
HQ. Be there.

Grue watched as the neon-lit whip-soldier paraded away on the ladder. He thought it was cheesy and beautiful, but was saddened by his choice of words. Nerd? What a gyp. That's like a movie star callin' some theatre student 'fake'. Nevertheless, Grue moved in to pick up the record and observed the card. How mysterious. The guy has taste, though. He then spoke into the intercom he used to communicate with his team.

"Alright, guys. I wanna have all y'all lootin' this place dry. Anything that looks valuable. If it looks like it has sentimental value... Well, that's gotta be a must have."

His crew got to work, filling boxes and dumping them in the storage bay of the ship. They would sell well for some more primitive markets, and Grue knew how to exploit this. Sitting in the rumpus room while listening to Neon's record, Grue examined the business card. He had no idea where 'HQ' was. How was he to know where to go? He certainly hadn't gone to the S-Colony before, and knew very little about it. Nevertheless, as Captain he figured it would be best to at least try to honour Neon's card.

Setting course for the S-Colony, Grue's ship lifted off the ground and headed towards the new location. He made sure that his ship was receiving communications so if his ship was detected any messages would be automatically received.
