(Begin scene in Navigation Room) (Corey is on the controls while Amon
talking to him. Corey is in a light green Navigator suit while Amon is in
combat fatigues. Amon approaches Corey from the left side.)

Amon: Hey Corey!

Corey: Oh, it's Amon! Hey man, what's going on?

Amon: Listen that report you wanted on the Seraphim ship is in your inbox.

Corey: (concerened) Is everyone on your squad all right?

Amon: (reassuringly) Yeah, We're all healed up, now. Dax and Lon are all healed
up and Minnie and Cochrain are almost one hundred percent. Noticed I said, "Almost".

Corey: What ever you faced up against gave you one hell of fight on Seraphim.
I don't remember did we collect samples?

Amon: Yeah, tech department collected all that goo from all of that thing we faced.
Do you know we faced back there?

Corey:To tell you the truth, it looked nothing like we have faced in the past.
That was some fierce shit you faced back there. I still haven't talked to Taj
about the sample. Need to do soon, Captain said my report was due in like two
weeks. I was working on it in my room before my shift started. I'm tempted to
peek at it while I'm doing nothing.

Amon: Are you fucking serious? You're doing 'nothing' right now? You are driving
the McPherson. That shit requires utmost concentration and insane skills.

Corey:(embarassed.) Well, my dad was navigator for those transports during
the transports for the colonists. He had to quick in everything.

Amon: Don't be embarassed, man. Your Dad helped a just cause out there back in
the day. Those transports kept people alive during the planetary siege.

Corey: Before we glamourize my dad's service to the colonies too much, Need something?

Amon: (Defensive) Don't need a reason to talk to the man that keeps us alive during
our boarding missions.

Corey: (embarassed) Sorry. Not like it's been a stressful shift actually.
I was just getting started on my report when I rememebered I need to be in the
Nav room on time. Hate being late.

Amon: Shouldn't be so focused on navigation. Gotta remember it's all AI pilot.
that doing all the heavy lifting. You just figure the coordinates and shit.

Corey: Well, that's true.

Amon: Have you gone to counseling, yet?

Corey: (shrug shoulders.)

Amon: C'mon man, there are things a man shouldn't be bothered by. Things he need to
get off his chest.

Corey: I've been putting off my Seraphim report for awhile now and...

Amon: Just make any good excuse, hunh? Your Dad taught you better than that.

Corey: I've just been stressed out lately. This job is figureative taking a bite
out of me.

Amon: (puts hand on Corey's shoulder.) Listen, don't think you're alone in all this.
You're not the only one who does this for a living. There are thousands who are doing this
or have done it before. You can't let shit, like what happened at Seraphim, bother you.
It's happened many a time before Seraphim.

Corey: (looks back) You don't understand. Watching all of that combat and hearing the yells.
Oh god, the yells. I felt helpless. I want to fucking abandon my post, pick up the nearest
armor and get the nearest rifle and find where you were at and fucking blast that thing.
I don't give a shit if I have the basic of firearms qualifications. I'm not the type of
person who just sits there and fucking does nothing. FUCK NO! I gotta do shit, man
No man, there were other controllers telling me to sit down or face suspension.
I had to have someone tell me I was doing good with your squad with a Comm. Set
then with a rifle. BULLSHIT!(gets up) I was fucking furious with myself. I hate feeling
helpless. I was put in the universe to help the helpless. Not feel helpless myself.
It took the captain physically restraining me and threatening suspension of duties
to keep myself from that fight. All that while, there were still screams and gunfire
I had to compose myself for a moment before I had gave you orders to escape.
(gets angrier)I still absolutely loathe myself for not going into combat teams when I had the
chance. Fuck, I can't even stand myself now! I'm not even worthy of being in
your presence. How can I live with myself. I can't. I just can't/

Amon: (calm) I realize all that. But with your condition, in that situation,
you would've fucking slaughtered before anyone realized what was going on.
Look, Corey, those people were right. You helped out alot on that Comm. Set
than if you had a rifle. You have to realize, that if you hadn't been the one
that looked into the blueprints had formulated an escape plan, I would've been
dead. Everyone would've been dead. Listen, I'm going to talk to the Captain
about counseling services for you and maybe some prescriptions for your stress.
I realize you can't handle stress and maybe you shouldn't have followed your Dad's
career path in to Navigation. But you went what you felt you should and it helped
out alot of us in the end.

Corey: (settles down) Coming from you, that means alot. I really hope you do it.

Amon: (certain) I'm going to do it for you, okay?

Corey: Okay.

Amon: I'll just give a few minutes to compose yourself all right?

Corey: Okay.

Babuil City is a happenin' place, now.

It's kinda like a mullet. Only if it awesomer.

Home to a million people and more, it's busy place to live in. Like imagine New York, yet if it were smaller.

Awesome place to live in. Guaranteed party every Friday at someone's house. All drinky and drink and smokey smoke in someone's house.

"Work hard, Play hard" that's what they say in Babs city.

There are a couple of clubs in Babs of note:

Desmond Boulevard: Located in the southern district right by HyperActivity. INC. Serves all kinds of drinks and there's even a smoking bar in the back. DJ Samael K. He plays mean beats. Mainly open at nights. The shit really gets interesting on Fridays with ladies night. It's awesome.

HyperActivity INC: Located by Desmond. Same thing as Desmond but the food is greater and the dance music is played Locus OFG. He plays some mean beats as Samael. But his have more of an edge. Something you can lose your shit and absolutely dance till the cows come home.

The Good Life: This is where all the Bounty Killers meet. Not as classy as Desmond and Hyper, but for it's price it's pretty cool. Fights aren't tolerated inside of it, but they don't object to it outside in the back of the club. Criminals rarely fuck in the TGL, but when they do, they get beat the fuck down by the BKs. From my opinion, pretty cool place to bullshit with people in.

Those are among the clubs that are out there.

It all started because of goddamned warehouse and a backlot. Out in the outskirts of Babuil, as you take a right on 24th, go straight until you hit Vibero, then turn left until you hit the bad part of Babuil. You will know it's the bad part when you see all dilapidated buildings. Then go past the old bank three miles then take a left and then you see it. An old abandoned lot with a warehouse. This warehouse is where it all started. Where everything went to shit and then took a flying leap into the deep end. League of Assassins wants this warehouse to become it's HQ for Babuil branch. It was all going so smoothly for them until word got out that that LoA were going to set up shop there. Everyone with any importance: Mayor and Alderman started a reclamation project that redevelop the everything in the outskirts of the city. LoAs were pissed off. So they did what any criminal organization would do if they were pissed. They starting assassinating local government officials.
When it first happened, people began to be alarmed. But they thought it would be end of it. NOPE! The mayor, the Aldermen, any government official were killed by LoAs. It was happening with terrifying frequency. Squads of police killed guarding the politician. Paid bodyguards killed by these assholes. Everyone was talking about the life expectency of Government officials. It was then and only then, when The Declaration of Open Season. was announced.

You see, before the declaration, there was a secret war going in Babuil. Bounty Killers vs League of Assassins. Not many people talked about it because they were afraid to talk about it. There were many casualties among both sides. But, as it turned out, it was a battle of attrition. Until The Declaration of Open Season on League of Assassins operatives.

It will be a day celebarated by Bounty Killers and Law Enforcement operatives alike. For it was such a joyous occasion. and will always be.
It will always be weird to people to celebrate this day for some people, because people died in OPEN SEASON on both sides. But if you're BKs, you most certainly will celebrate this day. Why? Because for two reasons:

[1]BKs could Carry a Concealed weapon any where they wanted.
[2] They could detain and or kill any person (Within reasonability) thought to be with LoAs.

It was also season, for weird alliances. Like gangsters working with BKs because they were Anti-LoA.

KALISTO.

In an age of cybernetics, Kalisto is the last of the "Nautrals" in Gorin. The "Naturals" refering people who haven't been augemented by technology. "Cybernetics are for people who envy people with talents." basically describes her views of cybernetics. Ever since turning to crime, her talents have been used quite frequently. It has been said she can spot and kill a target from 400 KMs away with G-20 rifle. And let me say the G-20 is a sucky rifle that can only do 200-300 KMs. Although, she has modified the shit out of it. Like a modified barrel for longer reach. But she won't admit to it.

An assassin to the end, but she refuses to commit to the League of Assassins. For what reasons, She hasn't said. But, it has been said she lost friend to the League of Assassins. But again, she will not say what. For that reason, she has been at war with LoA for months. Killing at least 20 LoA loyalists in all the fights against them.

She has complimented on her attire on several occasions. She likes to dress for occasion, she has said.
She likes to wear optical camouflage when the occasion calls for it. But she mainly likes to wear black and green.

Although hunted by many BKs, she has not killed any of them. She has wounded them. But before they were carted off, the BKs and her have come to terms and nothing has happened to BKs ever since then. It is kind of weird, there's this odd 'respect' thing that she has for BKs. But that doesn't help that she constantly hunted by BKs and LoAs people.

She is very pleasant person to look at and be around (if you're not a target.) We cannot say what bars she hangs around in. But when you see her, you will never forget where she's at. Contrary to popular belief, she is not a 'Hobo Assassin'. She has home, but it's bombed & fixed so many times, she tends to stay at people's houses rather then at her home.

A somewhat philosphical person, but not really religious.

I will speak, briefly, about the League of Assassins.

They are nothing but scum of the universe. Gunrunners, Assassins, Terrorists,
Gangster, Sexual Predators, etc. They cannot and will not be reasoned. To them,
their morality depends on the money they receive. Ever since that incident in
Oberon, they are growing in number. Violent criminals are joining their ranks
in numbers not seen since Great Univeral Depression. It cannot be stated enough
how alarming it is for Universal Intelligence Agencies to see the numbers swell.
Their crimes are growing more heinous by the year. I could not have forseen this
crime wave taking over the fucking universe. It is, in a word, unreal.
You would think that criminal enterprise of this nature would be talked about ad
nausem by the pundits and the anchors. But no, they are no. People who talk about
the LoA are threaten with death and sometimes, they come through with these threats.
No, When people speak of the LoA, they whisper it, as though LoA are listening to
their conversations. No person in their right mind would ever associate with
them. But it's obviously that LoA are not thinking right in the first place.
I cannot help, but feel like someone from the LoA is listening to this conversation
I'm having with you. From logical point of view, this is impossible. LoA cannot
listen to every conversation. But I feel like this is happening right now.
Right now, they wanna set up shop in Babuil City. They have every other major
city on the continent in a death grip. It is obvious that they haven't because
the times they have tried, they have been stopped. It's like "Trial and Error"
they learn from their mistakes. This is a bad thing for us.
If there is one thing Babuil cannot afford is LoA hooking up with gangsters. This is horrible thing and it will not happen.

These parts and more make up Babuil City. It is kind of like New York City. Vicious criminal have infested these places and it's their job (Bounty Killers.) to clean it up. But to do it, you must use the CI (Confidential Informants) and other inhabitants to find where these criminals are and either find and capture/kill them.

But, in the universe I'm writing in there is a thing called a "Bounty-Killer". It's kind like of Bounty Hunter, but they are given the right to defend themselves if they find themselves under attack. Meaning, they can kill if they find they are in bodily harm. Okay, but so can Police Officers in real life. So what's the difference between a "Bounty-Killer" and a regular Bounty Hunter? A Bounty Hunter may defend themselves, but they cannot have firearms. "Bounty-Killers" are more proactive with firearms and can go after the most dangerous. I mean you send in Bounty Hunter if that guy has jumped bail. Some of them are dangerous. But when shit gets serious, you call in a Bounty-Killer. He's most likely to carry a piece and has gun training (Not like Bounty Hunters don't have any. BKs gun training are more rigorus.) Like a majority of Bounty-Killers are most likely war veterans. So killing for them is natural.

Bounty-Killers can either go alone or call in other BKs for help. They are also given a right to shoot when there is a crime in progress and after non lethal ways don't work. They also consult beat cops for whereabouts of their suspect. But they are heavily regulated. They are part of organization that helps the police get a handle on a new breed of criminals. This organization gives money for captures/kills. (Captures are worth much more than killing unless it specified that criminal must be killed. For your information, killing halves your money you would get if you were get that person.)

There is so much complexity around a Bounty Killer the more I think about it.
