ON:

Sugo was exhausted. There activities must of surely produced a baby by now. Looking down at his lovely wife coming down in her bliss once more he sat up.

"Refreshment, sustenance. I shall order something my love,"

He was getting the hang of that contraption now. Pulling a robe on he was just about to engage it when the door chime went.

That he was not expecting.

He exchanged a look with his wife and pulled one of his laser weapons so it was concealed in his pocket. Tossing her a robe to cover her modesty and most importantly not wishing anyone but him have the luck and privilege to view her naked body, he went and opened the door curious.

“What do you want?” He levelled at the stranger.

Uldrag swiftly covered herself with the robe, rising from the bed and tying it closed. She also stayed out of sight, letting Sugo take care of this interruption.

Dragos took a good look at the way Sugo stood, noting the prepared stance he had.

"I have come to talk to you and your lady about a business proposal. However it wouldn't be wise if we conducted our talk, while I am standing out here, and what I offer could be rather beneficial for you and I. However seeing your state of dress, I have come at a rather...inopportune time. If you would like for me to come back in say an hour? I would be willing to do so." he had noticed a small amount of movement through the crack of the open door in his peripheral vision, but kept his attention fully on Sugo.

Uldrag had caught sight of the man through the crack in the door, she whispered to where only Sugo could hear. "Perhaps we should see what he wants."

Sugo squeezed her hand nodding. "We are on our honeymoon. We meet you in that ridiculous park "Reynolds" in an hour."

He wanted it out in the open. It was always safer that way, when you didn't know much about the assailant.

Dragos nodded, "Will meet you there in an hour." he responded, then left the door way and headed away. His demeanor of being rather alert.

When he was gone, Uldrag waited until Sugo determined it was safe, then when the door was closed, she commented. "That was strange, it was as if he knew we were here and not just a normal couple on our honeymoon. I am intrigued, as to what he says he can do for us. As much as I would love to continue our, time together." she smiled softly at her husband, "Something tells me, he might be someone useful."

"He needs testing as to whether he's useful and would be loyal my love," Sugo said. "He is going to offer something. Lets us hear him out but then devise a proper test."

Uldrag nodded, "I do agree, I do also wonder what he will be offering. However with how he has tracked us down, proves in some aspect he is rather resourceful." then she moved to get dressed for the meeting with this Dragos.


==An hour later===

Dragos was seated upon on one of the benches, perusing a book and seeming to be not paying attention to anyone near, but in truth he was paying attention to whom and what were entering the park and to those who departed.

Holding his wife’s hand and keeping a close eye out that this man was alone Sugo led them to him. “We hate this park and everything it represents. Jonathan Reynolds is no hero.”

"Another man's hero is another man's villain. It all depends on who is writing the history" Dragos remarked, after checking to see if they were alone.

Dragos stood up and gave a bow of respect to the two who had come to meet with him. His attention was also caught by the woman standing next to the man, her beauty was extraordinary. Noting the protective stance of the male, Dragos decided to concentrate more on the man, and not rivet his attention on that goddess, which was there.

Uldrag held onto her husband's hand, as this man paid his respects to her and Sugo. Then she spoke, her voice musical, and lovely to hear. "We would like to hear your offer, and your reason why you wish to do so."

"I tire of the pettiness of those that I have worked for, their constant bickering. Delusions of grandeur, they do not wish to be subtle all they wish to do is destroy all. Which isn't truly a good thing for profit and the good of those who live here." Dragos remarked.

Sugo snorted. "Sounds like plenty of folks I know. Why do you think we would be any different? What is it about us that you feel would be better to work for?"

"You and her, your lovely wife, are new around here. I've not heard anything of you destroying things in your path like an angel of destruction. " Dragos making his eyes focus more on Sugo, then he looked at the Queen. "I know how to read people, I do not see a lot of anger in you, you have an innocent look in your gaze, but also a lot of intelligence." he looked back at Sugo. "She is a rare woman, and you seem to be someone who doesn't want things to be the same status quo as how things are right now. I can help, I am willing to help."

Uldrag looked to Sugo, wondering what he would have the man do, for the test. "In your observations, uh, Dragos? You feel that we are a better bet than the others? The ones who are fixed to destroy things due to them being so ugly?" she asked.

Dragos looked at Uldrag, "Not all of them are like that, I do not think. But those who are bent on destroying others just in a royal tantrum I find them tiresome. You and your husband can mould things into a better fit for those here."

Turning his gaze back to Sugo, "That is my assessment and why I am offering my services, I feel I can help with things here."

Sugo cocked an eye at his wife. "We have some friends that did not make a shipment. Perhaps you could find out what happened. Word reaches me they were in the area the ancient planet was destroyed and may now be in custody with this "Federation" who insists on exploring. We do not wish our supplies and business with them to be messed up due to these people."

Dragos nodded, "I can find that information for you." the man already running ideas through his head. "And if I can work it out, get them free from their captors as well." giving a confident smile.

Uldrag looked at her husband then at Dragos, "If you are successful then we can talk more. However, I will warn you, if you can not do this without wasting your valuable resources, this deal will be null and void. You need to show that you have a good foundation for your organization. Otherwise, you will show that you are a weak individual, and we do not want someone whom is weak."

Sugo nodded in agreement. "Impress us then."

"Very well, I will proceed then." Dragos replied giving an confirming nod. "I will report when things are in motion and successful" He gave a respectful bow to both Sugo and Uldrag, turned on his heel and left, sending out a call to Sian hoping that she was able to recruit another angel.
