"Well," said Cryer, "as I said, I was the sole survivor. So I grabbed my commanding officer's dropped maser rifle and pointed it at the toads and took them all out! Zap! Kapow!"

"What about after that?" Ayla asked curious. "What have you done since then? I'm sure a soldier like yourself must ahve many stories of adventure and travels you have done. I'd love to hear them."

Cryer's confident demeanor fluctuated a bit. "Well, as brave a warrior as I am, even I couldn't hold off a the entire toad fleet. I mean, I'm not Bucky O'Hare, after all."
Picking up the glass of banana rum again he took a sip. "Mmm, anyways after that those wart-covered scuzzballs took me prisoner and I spent quite a lot of time in one of their infernal slave camps."

"How did you get out?" Ayla asked curious.
It showed in her eyes she was truly curious, almost like a young child hearing a truly amazing story.

"Why, I was rescued by Bucky O'Hare, of course!" Cryer declared with a broad smirk.

Bruin chuckles at hares boasting.
"Careful lad, your ego is showin..."

"What ego? I dunno what you're talking about," Cryer chuckled.

"You know, I always hear about Bucky O'hare. What about his crew or the others who fight in this war?" Ayla said adn put a hand on Cryer's arm. "Such as you. SOmeone who has fought on the frontlines and lived through some of the worse stuff. At least allow me to buy you a drink."
SHe smiled at Cryer sweetly. At his table Damien groaned at Drake's remark.
"We're not going out." He grumbled.

Cryer froze up as she touched him on the arm, and he began to sweat as he started to realize he was apparently digging himself into a hole, considering he was almost literally making these "war stories" up as he went along. Nevertheless, he figured he could enjoy the company of a woman before he left Genus - which up until now had been his main priority after getting a drink to steady his nerves.
"All right," he finally said, smiling, "if you insist. Although something a little less jolting than this banana rum stuff. It's good for a quick buzz, but I don't wanna be slopping drunk or anything. Anyway, I don't believe I've introduced myself. My name is Alder-- uh, I mean Bartholomew Cryer. What's yours?"
He had gone under the alias of Alderon Kahill during his and Rusk's recent attempt to assassinate Chairman Warner, and was thus not too eager to employ it. Unable to think up a new alias, he was pretty sure that no one of consequence would be able to finger him based on his name alone.

"I am Ayla, pilot of the Black Quasar. I like your last name. It has an emotional sound to it." AYla said with a gentle purr in her voice.
SHe turne to Bruin.
"WOuld you please give Mr. Cryer a glass of the same wine i am drinking?" SHe asked and pulled out the simoleans.
Damien watched from teh table and mentally was totalling up how much she had spent.

"Why thank you," he said, and smiled, feeling unusually good. It wasn't every day a woman bought him a drink! As he waited for the bartender to pour the wine, he frowned when a familiar-looking fox entered the bar.
The fox was tall with a black crewcut hairstyle wearing a powder-blue business suit and a yellow tie. His name was Saul, and he was a regular lowlife smuggler and gunrunner despite his outwardly classy appearance and expensive clothing. He approached the bar, apparently ignoring Ayla and leaning in to whisper into Cryer's ear. Cryer listened intently and frowned as the fox leaned back up.
"We're ready to leave whenever you are," Saul said.
"Already? My, you do work fast. Anyway, I think I could stand to stay a while if you don't mind waiting on me," Cryer replied. Turning back to to Ayla, he added, "It wouldn't be gentlemanly of me to simply get up and leave the company of such a kind and cultured woman."

z"WHy tahnk you, Mr. Cryer." Ayla said smiling brightly.
SHe had seen Saul while Damien dealt with him, but didn't care. This Cryer was actually a nice guy.
"I hope I'm not keeping you from any important business." She said politely.
Damien looked over and saw Saul.
"Not now!" He whispered and raised his comm. "Drake, things might get hairy around here."

OOC: I'm hoping i remember Saul right. Wasn't he the one Damien mouthed off to?

"Whatever, pal, they're your simoleans, after all. We'll be in the hangar whenever you're ready," Saul said with a shrug, then turned and walked out. "Oh no, of course not, Miss Ayla," Cryer said. "I've just been making plans to leave Genus for a while." OOC: I think so. He and his partner MacGruder appeared a few times back when this board was still young.

Bruin pours the drink hare a drink, then goes back to listening, stalling the hare for time as he presses a com under the bar.
"Ahh... ya know, I think I've heard of ya... I seem ta remember a few UAC Gaurds in here a couple weeks ago, talkin' about a hare with the last name Cryer. Mentioned somethin' about a ((Rusk was a hedgehog, wasn't he? I forget)) named Rusk..."
Damien's com chrrps back.
"Sure... and I'm the son of Frith... you keep tellin' yourself that Damien.... As for it gettin' hairy, how bad is it?"

"Oh, uh, I'm afraid that name doesn't ring any bells," said Cryer. OOC: Close. Rusk was a groundhog.
