Katar laughed slightly at the remark and his facial reactions.
"Actually, Commander Shar and Master Oni Lance did a mission on Aldebarran and brought back this bottle of wine that tasted wonderful" SHe said after a moment of thinking. "I believe it was Mystic Tear or soemthing along that line, but i would imagine it would be expensive."
She smiled at him and wuickly read over the menu. After a few moments, she looked back at him and studied fhim for a few seconds with her eyes .
"You seem nervous. What's wrong?" SHe asked genlty.

"W...Well," Nass mops his brow with a handkerchief. "Th...the reason I prefer to live alone is after...after my last relationship was shot down in flames, so to speak."
He orders a bottle of Mystic Tear before continuing. "She was beautiful, but...every time I said something along those lines, I became her personal punching bag. She eventually ran off with some mercenary."
He mops his head again, and pours some of the wine into Katars' glass when it arrives before pouring it into his own. As he places the bottle back on the table, he nervously stammers "Forgive me for saying, miss, but I do believe you have beautiful eyes."

Looking on from afar, peering around some bushes, Cryer sneezed as his allergies acted up again. He sniffled and rubbed his nose, then spat in distaste. "Look at that," he said, whispering to Rusk. "Pathetic."
"What's pathetic?" asked Rusk, scratching his head on confusion.
"Them," the skinny hare snarled. "Look at how happy they are. Mingling and hob-nobbing, smiling and laughing. It makes me wanna puke."
"Y'know, you've got issues, Cryer," Rusk said, the groundhog raising a bushy eyebrow at his friend. "One minute you're thinking of backing out of our little deal with Sludge, and the next you're spittin' on a war memorial and and contemplating shooting some old creep you don't even know. What's with you, man?"
Cryer frowned. He wasn't entirely sure himself. He was certain though that whatever was wrong with him, it wasn't his fault.

Katar blushes again and sips her wine.
"Thank you. It is nice to have someone treat me like this, instead of a soldier." She said smiling at Nass.
She gently traces one of the roses with a finger and looks at Nass.
"I'm sorry to hear she treated you like that. She out to be shot for it." Katar said with a hint of anger in her voice. "A relationship needs humor and love to work. It sounds like she wanted total control over you. IF that is what she wanted, she should have dated an AFC or ASC."
She takes another sip and looks at Nass again, smiling.
"I like your lines and compliments. They mean a lot to me to hear them." SHe said blushing. "THeir some of the first ones i ever really got, from someone who means it."
She gently reches over and gently squeezes Nass's hand.
"Thank you." SHe said warmly.

Nass quivers slightly as Katar squeezes his hand, but tries his best to calm down. "You're welcome, miss." he smiles, trying to look comfortable.
There is a long silence between the two, until Nass speaks with a slight quiver in his voice. "Would...would you care to come back to my apartment, miss?" "That's it! You're dead!" his inner-voice screamed.

"Do you have a problem Nass?" Katar asked worried. "YOu seem to keep shaking and wiping off your brow."
She gently held his hand as she asked. HEr eyes reflect the worry in her voice. SHe smiles as Nass's question sinks in.
"At least you seem fairly forward with your questions." SHe said with a smile. "Any particular reason or just to talk?"
She smiled warmly to let Nass know she was playing with him and not taking insult to his question.

"W...Well," Nass blushed. "Just a talk really. Plus, you'd be the very first person besides myself to come into my home."
For some strange reason, Nass couldn't seem to take his look away from Katars' eyes, it was as though there was something Katar was hiding behind them. An emotion, perhaps? Nass just kept looking into them as though he were studying two magnificent diamonds.

Katar smiled back and nodded.
"I would love to see your place." SHe said as her eyes dazzled slightly.
She coughs and looks down at her glass. She picks it up and takes another sip. SHe then looks at Nass again.
"I get teh feeling you have a question, but almost seem afriad to ask it." Katar said smiling. "GO ahead and ask. Oh and Nass, just call me Katar. I haven't earned the title of Oni or Tenchi, so you don't have to acll me Miss."
She smiled again and took another sip.

"Well, erm, Katar. I do feel as if I have a question to ask you, but I can't figure out what that question is," he sips the drink, and then his face screws into a very serious look.
"This is the greatest drink in the history of...drink!" he says with a booming voice, still trying to sound serious. He then gets up and leaves some money on the table for the waiter. He then offers his arm to Katar. "May I, Miss K...ah, nuts!" he remembers what Katar said about addressing her.

* A cavalcade of black cars, bearing UAC flags, pulls up alongside the memorial gardens. The flanking security personnel form a protective cordon around the officials. The pavement facing doors of the lead car open and Fritz emerges followed by Kadaf, Bucky and Lance. Along with several other official they walk through the gardens to the Podium, seemingly oblivious to the flashing cameras and the gaggle of journalists. Fritz steps up to the microphone to give his unrehearsed statement, the others sit down toward the back of the stage... excluding Kadaf who remains standing *
"I've called this press conference today to allay any rumours or fears that may have arisen recently", announces Fritz, "Many citizens of the UAC may be aware of a communication loss with the member planet Warren... sadly... Warren has been recaptured by the evil Komplex...".

Masa looks up as the group marches in and her eyes widen at teh sight of Lance. She temorarily forgets she is standing beside Billions.
"Frell, he is here. I never thought i would see Master Oni Lance standing next to Captain O'hare." SHe whipsers in awe.
Meanwhile, Lance is sitting there listening to Fritz as he talks.
"I hope that Atlantis is doing well with the invasion, while i am stuck sitting here. Warren too." He mutters quietly as he waits.

Katar laughs at Nass's face as he stops in mid sentence. She takes his arm and stands up.
"I believe i know your qestion you were going to ask and yes, let's go." She said with a warm smile.

* Bucky looks over to Lance, not really paying attention to Fritz as all the available intel had been discussed in the earlier meeting *
"How bad is it? I can't believe they managed to seriously threaten Atlantis... your technology is decades ahead of anything I've seen", says Bucky in response to Lance's mumblings.
Fritz is still addressing the reporters and onlookers.
"... I cannot disclose much information but I can say that all non-planetary resistance has been quashed... a UAC frigate "The Valiant" managed to rescue many mammals and capture a toad slave transport ship..."

As all eyes were on Fritz and the podium, two pairs of hands suddenly reached out of the bushes and seized two uniformed Genus security guards, yanking them right off their feet and into the bushes with ludicrously cartoonish speed. A moment or so later, Cryer and Rusk emerged wearing their uniforms... and their sidearms in their belt holsters.
The hare and the groundhog nod to one another, then turn and go in opposite directions around the crowd, heading for the podium. Their pilfered uniforms allowed them to slip past the other similarly-dressed guards without much difficulty, making their way towards the small, temple-like banquet hall where parties and such were held. This was going to be pitifully easy.
As this is occurring, a guard captain appears behind Fritz and whispers something into his ear, telling them he found a small note addressed to the Chairman, and, as there was no suspicion of it being a bomb since it was not sealed in an envelope, the guard captain saw no reason not to give it to Fritz. The note read simply, "Meet me in the banquet hall. Important information about the plight of Planet Warren. Come alone!"

Lance looked at BUcky and nodded.
"That is true, but they used overwhelming numbers and our defenses weren't able to keep up. That's why we pulled our fleet back to our planet adn are attempting to drive them off.' He muttered.
He looked over as teh Guard Captain whispers in Fritz's ear.
"Hmm, maybe some good news finally." Lance muttered and pointed towards Fritz.
