"This is ridiculous," a deep male voice from a small, watch-shaped
computer strapped to Iria's wrist complained.  A tiny hologram,
consisting of two yellow floating cones containing a red sphere
floating between them, appeared.  "Another ten years are going to pass
before you two really begin talking.  Why don't I start things off?"

I'd wondered if Bob was still around.  Good to see he is.

Yep. Wouldn't be the same without good old Bob around. Zeirm didn't actually
have that large a cast either.


Sometimes Kei wondered what it would have been like to have met Bob in
person, before Zeiram had killed him.  Iria had shown her pictures of
the tall, dark-skinned, bald man who had been her and Gren's primary
employer before the Karma incident, an event that had changed
everyone's lives dramatically.  However, the two-dimensional
photographs failed to convey the true character of the man that had
given so much advice and assistance over the years.

If I understood things, Zeiram injured Bob severely, but he was still
alive when Iria put him in the lifeboat.  He might have survived if
Tedan-Tippendai hadn't finished him off.

Hard to say, but the injury was very bad. Could have been they merely took
advantage of the situation.


Bob 'cleared' his throat by buzzing static for the others' benefit.  "I
must say, Kei, you've blossomed into a radiant flower of beauty."

Considering their costumes, that's fairly easy to judge.

True.


money she had saved up to who was trying to kill her today, took
precedence over the past.  With the recent turn of events that forced
Kei to call Iria, the old fears clawed their way back to the present
and made their presence known, showing that they had grown in the dark
recesses of her mind rather than fading away like a memory over the
passage of years.

You already used 'as best as she could' in the previous paragraph.

Okay

 I
don't think Kei has to worry about leaving her mark on the universe.
Just follow the explosions.  :}b

Yes, well, she doesn't like to think of it in those terms. :)


"Given the trail of devastation and havoc that you leave behind, that's
a pretty bold thing to proclaim," Iria said.

Iria's no slouch in that department either.

She's not anywhere near DP level, though.


"Yep," Kei assured her in smooth, louder tones.  "She's a wild,
one-woman wrecking crew.  Now don't get me wrong, she's a nice person
most of the time, and a heck of an agent.  I wouldn't want anyone else
for my partner, and she's been cleared of all charges, too.  But the
main reason things get blown up around us is because she's recklessness
personified.  I can't begin to imagine the untold damage she'd cause if
I wasn't there to help keep her under control."

Ahh, yeah.

Kei: No, seriously.


"Meaning the two of you are so alike it's scary," Bob added.

He received a thump into the table top for his expert testimony.

I guess the truth hurts.  Him.

Heh.


Yuri drew closer to a familiar type of rifle.  "Hey.  This is a
Pogtaltion 776.  These were outlawed by the Uni-Gal Conventions
Guidelines at the same time the Barneyblast 'Love Me,' firearms were.
Only agents of an inner world military force, or special trouble
shooters of the 3WA, can use them.  And even then we have to fill out a
GGIL form in triplicate for each round we use.  That's why no 3WA agent
has used them in the last five years, since the 'Good God It's Long'
forms take at least a two hour minimum to fill out, and that's if
you're a speed writer."

Barneyblast 'Love Me' firearms?  You are truly evil.

Oui.



"Thanks to the miracles of modern medical science, they were able to
reattach her lips without a problem."

Though they were upside down.

Heh


"That's my Kei," Iria said approvingly as Yuri held her hand to her
head in mock pain.  She just hoped Kei was smart enough not to use
armor-piercing or exploding rounds, especially near one of the outer
walls of the station.  With the gun's rate of fire, those would
probably punch a hole through the two foot thick metal and then there
would be trouble.  Maybe there was still time for Yuri to grab a space
helmet.

A space helmet and a fanservice costume?

Sure, any fleshy looking areas can be explained away that the suit is also
tranparent. :)


Iria made her way over the master console.  Turning one of the machines
on, she was immediately asked a password for entry into the system.
"{Tokay :  Okay},

Oddly, that one didn't show up in my draft.

 Bob.  It's showtime."  She pulled a data plug from
her wrist computer and inserted it into the command terminal.

"She's wearing armor, Kei.  You're wearing a bikini."

She had a very big gun too.

Yeah, forgot about that. Would make sense after all. Hmm. Might have to
touch that one up,

Thanks for the comments.
