## Story

```
Sometime after the festival is over and Giovanni has perished... Beauregard approaches the Eye of Ishtar in an undisclosed area.

```

```
Beau:
*Knocks on the door.*
"You in there buddy?"

```

```
The intercom turns on.

Snively:
"...Sir, could you please step back? The door opens downward."

Beau:
"Oh... Uh, yeah."

The door opens and slides down into the boarding ramp.

Jack:
*Steps out.*

Beau:
"Hello there."

Jack:
"..." *Smiles.* "General Kenobi."

Beau:
"So it *is* still you in there."

Jack:
"Yup. I am the droid you're looking for."

Snively:
*Comes out and swaps a battery in Jack's chest.* "Yes, well. Some days I wish someone had traded you to some Jawas."

Beau:
*Gives Snively a questioning look.*
"Mind introducing me, Jack?"

Jack:
"Oh. Beau? This is Dr. Snively Robotnik."

Snively:
"You just love introducing me that way don't you?"

Jack:
"Hey, you're the sanest Robotnik since Gerald."

Snively:
"That's a pretty low bar."

Beau:
"Anyway... Are you going to explain why you 'died'?"

Jack:
"Um. Yeah... What do you know?"

Beau:
"Well..." *Gestures to Snively with the battery.* "...I know you've had some work done."

Jack:
"Yeah, full robotization."

Snively:
"Roboti***ci***zation."

Beau:
"F-full? You really went *that* far?"

Jack:
"Wasn't really my choice..."

Beau:
"Oh..."

Snively:
"You make it sound like you WANTED TO DIE?!"

Beau:
"Didn't he? Don't you?"

Jack:
"No. I just..." *Sigh...* "I'm better now..."

Beau:
"Well, I'm glad to hear it. Haven't had *much* good news lately."

Jack:
"So I've seen..."

Beau:
"You don't have to bother explaining what you think of GLACIA, I already know."

Jack:
"Yeah. You don't need to say it. I know I have no evidence to support my claim and I get it. No one else wanted to join..."

Beau:
"I believe you Jack."

Jack:
"I don't expect you to--What did you say?"

Beau:
"I believe you. More than that, I've seen it myself."

Snively:
*Raises an eyebrow.*

Jack:
*Glances at Snively.* "Um, can you give us a moment?"

Snively:
"Fine... I have some things to finalize with the hyper-go-on modules..."
*Walks back inside without another word.*

Jack:
"So. It was Vulcan..."

Beau:
"I can't say exactly how much he was involved, but he is most *definitely*, bad news."

Jack:
"Hate to say it but... I totally called it."

Beau:
"Yeah, yeah, you were right. Although I would've handled it a *little* differently. Nonetheless, I think it's about time we become partners again. What do you say, friend?"

Jack:
"..."
"You SURE?"

Beau:
*Sighs and puts one hand to his [head?] while extending the other for a handshake.*
"Just don't make me regret it, okay?"

Jack:
*Shakes Beau's hand, gripping really hard without realizing.*
*Then pulls him in for a hug.*

Beau:
(Oww!)
*Pats Jack on the back.*
"I missed you too, partner."

Colby:
"Well ain't this all nice and sappy. I thought I was gonna join some kind of ruthless pirate gang, not this knitting bee."

Jack:
*Turns out and pulls out his wispon blade, holding it against Colby.*
"That ruthless enough for ya?"

Colby:
"Cheez, someone got up on the wrong side of the power outlet..."

Jack:
"...Word travels fast in this town."

Colby:
"Nah, I's just dropping eaves."

Jack:
*Turns off his blade and it disappears into his hand.*

Colby:
"So, I've been thinking... For too long have I been a solo act and kept all my raw excellentitude to myself. So, I am offering to join your little posse or whatever it is."

Jack:
"It's not a posse. It's an order..."

Colby:
"Mm... Never was good with orders."

Jack:
"Neither am I."

Beau:
"I'm sure this'll go great then!"

Jack:
"Was that sarcasm I'm sensing Admiral?"

Beau:
"Have you met me?"

Colby:
"You guys aren't gonna be like this the whole time are you? 'Cause it's already getting old."

Jack:
"Well, I think you'll be better suited working with our most... violent member."

Colby:
"Hah?"

Jack:
"Which reminds me." *Presses a button on his temple.* "ROXIE! YOU FINISH YOUR HOMEWORK YET?!"

Roxie:
*Blows a raspberry at her dad and hangs up the call.*

Jack:
"I'll take that as a yes."

Colby:
"Just what kind of crew is this, anyway?"

Jack:
"Not just a crew Ricotta. It's family... Quite literally in your case."

Colby:
"I just threw up in my mouth a bit."

Beau:
"Hey, this is news to me too."

Colby:
"Wait, whaddaya mean my case?"

Jack:
"...Ritz Ricotta? Any relation?"

Colby:
"Uncle Ritz? Didn't see that one coming."

Jack:
"Yeah, well. We better get going before the feds find where I've parked..."

Beau:
"Fine by me. We've got work to do."

Colby:
"Yeah, if I found it it's probably not that good of a hidin' spot."

Jack:
"Right. Gentlemen? Welcome to the Knights of the Wind..." *Walks aboard the ship.*

Colby:
"Hey! Who're you callin' a gentleman?!"

Beau:
"This is going to be a long flight..."
