Victor stood in an alleyway in the Virgo space colony. A dead man laid before him, a hole the size of baseball in his chest. Victor bent over, bringing some dirt from the ground together using his hands, then cupping them over the dirt momentarily, a glow could be seen. Taking his hands away a flower remained, pedals glowing like Earths moon once did. Victor's investigation into this mans murder would now begin, samples around the wound had been taken and now he just had to hope for some kind of weapon identification. The computer's on his ship started their work. Cloaking the ship, Victor made his way out of the alley, his ship floating up so as to no longer be where someone could walk into it.

As Vendren walked down the streets of the Virgo space colony he pondered on where to find what he was looking for. It wasn't that easy when he barely knew what it was, let alone who he was. Therefore he wasn't quite paying attention to where he was going when he bumped into something as he passed an alleyway and fell to his back.

Victor looked down at the creature that had just bumped into him. a Mantavalian "Citizen, are you all right? You look confused."

"No, no, I'm good. Just trying to find myself." Vendren said as he stood up. "Nice to meet you, name's Vendren. I'm a mercenary. You don't happen to have a job for me do you, because I don't know where to find what I'm looking for, so I really need something to do."

Victor was silent for a moment. "Guardians work alone." His voice was dispassionate, detached. The suit made it impossible to tell his facial features or what his body build was and he was standing a neutral position. Reading him was almost impossible. "However, a man was murdered in that alleyway there. If you have information, or know where I can find information on the incident, I can reward you."

'He's a Guardian! That was surprisingly easy.' "Well, Mister Guardian sir, I don't know anything. But, as you may have noticed, I am a Mantavalian and for a...small price I can get you access to our spy network. The network will almost definitely know the who, what, when, where, and why of this murder. So, what do you say? Deal?"

Should it be that easy? "That could make things quicker, and likely more efficient. What is the catch?"

"It's nothing too difficult," Vendren said casually as he brushed some dirt off of his shoulder. After a brief pause Vendren looked back at the guardian in front of him with a small smile. "Just get me into the Guardians."

"That I cannot do." Victor begins walking in the direction he was going before they met.

"Wait, don't go," Vendren cried as he grabbed the Guardian by his shoulder. "I really want to join! Please, you can tell me I wouldn't be useful. At least let me travel with you for now and then you can observe my skills and decide later." 'I can't let this chance slip away from me.

"Do as you please. Just remember, I am a Guardian, not a babysitter."

"Awesome, so what do we do first? You still need to talk to the Spy Network?"

"Shortly; I need to see the results of an earlier sample I-" a scanner feed in his helmet informed him that the weapon was an unidentified bio-metal. "as it happens I will need their asistance at this time. I have a sample that needs identifying."

"Well, that is a simple task," Vendren stated as he pulled out a small holocom device and turned it on displaying the emblem of the Mantavalian government. "This is 72 of 6078 requesting use of the network in identifying an unknown bio-metal."
"Access granted proceed with scan," replied a voice from the holocom.
"Here just scan the metal and they'll tell you what it is," Vendren continued as he handed the holocom to the Guardian.

The device hummed momentarily as it scanned the bio-metal: "Similar samples have been scanned. It comes from a creature. Believed to be an Arcane Mutant. It is very dangerous, erratic, and unstable. Current whereabouts are unknown. Suggestions: seek medical advice if injured." "...Great. I'll check the nightlife, they sometimes have answers. They may even notice when something isn't right. they rarely react well to my presence though..." Victor looked at Vendren.
