Essex V

[Ryan Naismith]

"Good, I'll be sure to include that in the report." He says, beginning to make his way to the door, but he pauses as he reaches it
"The...criminals of Essex V are available if you need test subjects." He says, turning around

[Aconitum]

Acon stubbed out her cigar and stuck her thumbs in her waist band.

[The Magic Otter]

"Thanks... I'll inform you if I need them." She smiled and stretched a little.

[Ryan Naismith]

Miles smiled back at Deirdre, opening the door and seeing himself out. 

[Aconitum]

She smiled as the last of the crates were loaded onto the ship. Acon scratched the back of her head with the claw on her pinky and sighed. "Hurry it up, gents. I'd like to get this over with quickly." She hollered.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray was shepherded through the city, minus his tongueless companion. The tongueless prisoner had panicked and attracted the attention of a large predatory alien creature. Ray fought it off to the best of his abilities, but still lost his companion. However, the regular guards thought that Ray had snapped, and murdered his companion. He was brought through town, paws and ankles shackled, and stun batons within inches of his body.

[Ryan Naismith]

"Sir." One of his men called in "a prisoner came in without his companion. Orders?"

"What do you think happened?" Miles asked
"Personally, sir, I think he killed him."
"Proof?"
"No sir."
"Then count it as a strike on his record, nothing more, nothing less. But do keep an eye on him."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray was shuffled into his cell, and two heavily armed guards stood outside. He sat on the bed, and sang to himself, quietly.

[Khaki-Shepherd]

Ives waited for the guards to continue their patrol of the cells before he got up from the steel bed and walked over to the bars of his cell.
"New arrival, huh?" he spoke to the Racoon in the cell directly across from him. "What did you get locked up for?"

  (Name: Matthew IvesRace: Border collie
 Age: 19
 Reason for being on the colony: Ives was sent as a frontier guard, however shortly after arriving he was arrested for assaulting one of his commanders.
 Description: Still wears his guard uniform, though he has been stripped of his badges and rank insignia.)
 

[Rayleonarde]

Ray chuckled. "I've been here for a while now. We must have different shifts. They think I murdered my partner while on patrol." He sighed, and laid down. "Now I'm under high security, until they clear it up." Ray shifted, and looked at Ives. "You one of the penal workers?"

[Khaki-Shepherd]

Now i am, but I used to be a guard. Ironic really" He laughed, "...i guess I'm the new guy then"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked back at the ceiling. "Yep, you sure are. Welcome to the real suck."

[Khaki-Shepherd]

Ives sighed and sat back down for a few seconds, "Hey, one more thing..." he called out. "What do you think about the governor, when I was still a guard there were rumors going around about him overseeing experimentation on prisoners, is any of that really true?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "I hear lot's of things. I've heard of earlier penal groups running away, and creating sprawling cities on their own."

[Khaki-Shepherd]

"I guess it wouldn't be hard, once you get a few kilometers into the wilderness they'd never be able to find you again" Ives absently picked a stray thread on his uniform "Oh, I never quite got your name"
