If the behavior of the twins was something new, Claude might have gotten upset, but this was definitely not the first time he had been poked and stared at. "You like my armor?" he said to the twins. "It's a custom design." He was glad he had the extra pieces of armor on though. In the past some over-curious people had tried to take a piece of the fused suit off of him, only to find that it didn't budge.

" It's...shiney," Aras said with an overly innocent smile. " And it seems to match that most interesting MS that showed up in the hanger just after the battle." " Are you actually planning to drink this?" Sara asked, holding up the glass she had managed to slip from Claude's grasp.

"Yes, I am" Claude said to Sara. "Go ahead and try it. If you like it you can keep it. I'll just get another." He was curious how this strange woman would react to a drink with about five shots in it, but he also knew you couldn't really taste the alcohol with the other stuff in the drink. He looked up at Aras. "I had my suit customized to match my MS, Black Death. He'll be glad to know you think he's interesting."

Sara eyed the drink again, then in a single motion brought the glass to her lips and swallowed the entire thing, slamming in down on the bar. Her face went expressionless, but muscles bunched at her temple and her throat gave a slight spasm. Her eyes took on a shiney sheen. " Will he now?" Aras said, with equal amusement for her sister's condition and the conversation. " Well, always happy to make someone else happy with my attention."

Claude glanced over at Sara, amused at how quickly she had just downed the drink, then returned his attention to Aras. "Oh yes, I installed a simple AI program into it. It makes it handy for techs since the AI can tell them what's wrong so they don't have to do any examinations. Of course, it also took on its own personality. It can even move a bit. Simple walking or flying, but not much else." He glanced over at Sara again. "Maybe you should get her some help...that drink had quite a bit in it."

"She'll be fine," Aras assured him. " Her stomach may still be organic, but her liver is artifical. It can handle anything." On the other side of Claude, Sara shot Aras a filthy look, her body racked by a few supressed coughs that kept her from retorting. " So, what brings you onboard our fine vessel?" Aras asked.

"A contract with the Lanchester military actually" Claude said. "I'm a merc, but Lanchester gives me access to some of the best tech, so I usually work for them. It's rare to find a group willing to hire someone more than a couple times, so either I'm really good or really lucky."

Aras nodded, accepting it all easily. Sara coughed and finally managed to speak, in a tight voice, " Lanchester is good about that. I'm surprised they haven't offered you a permenent job if you've been *cough* hired so many times."

"Oh they have offered it to me. I just didn't want to accept just then. The offer's still open though, and with how this war is going I just might accept." Claude smirked a bit. "Oh, and you should probably find out how much is in those before you drink them" he said to Sara, tapping the empty glass. "I'm Claude Alain by the way, how about you two?"

" Aras." "Sara" the twins introduced each other one right after the other. " Raas," they finished together. " And I'll remember that," Sara said, pushing the glass away. " Now would be a good time," Aras told him. " If this ship is any indication to what kind of new toys the egg heads are thinking up, I can't wait to see what else we get to play with."

Allistaire saw the others sitting in the cantina, and sent a glass of whiskey over Sara's way. "Try that," he said, "it'll suit your stomach better." He cracked his neck and continued drinking. "Nice work as always, you three." he said without looking out of his glass.

Sara considered the drink warily a moment, then seemed to decide she couldn't do much worse to herself than she aready had and downed it. " Why thank you," Aras replied sweetly as her sister shook her head and blinked. John merely grunted an acknowledgement. " I was thinking, there is that really nice italian place back at Asgard, you know which one I mean right?" she said hintingly. There was in fact only one italian resteraunt on the Asgard platform, and it was a very pricey place to eat.

"Yeah, they've got that shell fish that gave everyone hepatitis," Allistaire said. "You wanna eat there?"

For once, Aras seemed taken aback, her mouth open slightly and her eyes blinking rapidly. " Wait, what? I don't remember hearing..."

"You didn't hear that? It was all over the news like 5 months back. There was a class-action suit brought against them. But if that's where you want to go, I dont' mind," Allistaire said. He kicked back his gin, which was quickly replaced with another. It didn't matter; alcohol had basically no effect on his nervous system; he just liked the taste.
