That don't sound like a good thing, mate.

Getting killed rarely is.

I'm with you on that.

Getting killed by a kiffing idiot is worse though. By the Force he's stupid.

Your brother?

Hah! No. I wish it was that simple, then I could just tell mom and she'd smack him upside the head.

Murphy tries hard to distinguish which brother he is talking with.

Then...who?

*Oh right*

Kale, by the way. An old traveling companion who has all the smarts of my left boot.

Now you've ruined the fun. I am going to find a difference between you two.

How is your brother?

Good luck with that! :D

He's good. He found a kitten that has adopted him. It has no problem telling the two of us apart.

So it adopted him...Heartwarming.

Who's the traveling companion?

More funny than anything else. It's at the ankle attacking stage.

His name is Zhin-ja and he's, well he used to be a Jedi and now he's a Sith. And he's fallen in with the worst sort of Sith.

Why do you run with him?

I did run with him and then only because m'captain was hired by him. This was before he went all Dark Side, mind you.

I thought you were still tight. How is it that he's going to get you killed?

Trev' told you about how I've been disconnected from the Force, right? He's one of the ones who want to turn me into a planet eating monster.

Glad that there's still time to play with kittens.

Trever insisted that I not kill you preemptively. It would be convenient...Wouldn't it?

I think the kitten more plays with us.

Killing me preemptively? You think Trever has something to do with all this?

There is no evidence to support it. But I would not rule out anything.

Not in a matter of this scale.

... Trever would never do anything to hurt me. No matter how screwed up in the head he is sometimes.

He smiles. He doesn't really suspect Trever of anything, but the thought hadn't really occurred to him before this conversation.

And we've got no reason to think otherwise.

*Trever has fallen a bit and done some stupid things recently that makes Kale edgy when it comes to talking about his twin*

Good. *head shake* Sorry. He's just been doing some stupid shit lately.

Hasn't been himself? It's probably nothing.

No. He's been perfectly himself. Stupid fool is all part of it. *grins*

What are you going to do about...

Zin Ja?

I don't know yet. I can't get near him or else bad things will happen. Tobias can get near him, but he's ... well, we're not in a position do anything because we don't know what he wants.

I'd hate to see anything happen to you, ~~Trever~~ Kale.

*smiles* Thank you. *curious* How much of you is man and how much is metal?

He looks away and his voice becomes dark. It is several moments before he replies.

Not enough; too much.

*looks thoughtful* That could be useful... actually.

Murphy gazes off into the stars, silently. His posture is robotic; his expression is hidden.

I didn't mean like to use you without your permission, of course. That would make me as bad as the Sith. But, if there came a time that I did need help against Zhin-Ja and his master, you would be more effective against him that I would.

...That was the idea.

Heh. Sorry. Zhin-Ja's got me all upset. I'm not thinking straight.

I understand.

When the time comes, ~~Dial 1800 ROBOCOP~~ don't be afraid to call for me.

That and the kitten decided that mewing all night was a good and happy thing.

I won't. I'm not stupid enough to leave out allies in a fight.
