S3, 13 Growing Tensions (February 25, 2016)

My entry to The Insurgency's February Galactic Challenge.

Jakor had landed on Qoter to begin his mission to find and disband the Anti-Collective League. He had picked up a disguise to go about the streets looking for information.

This is Jakor’s disguise.

???: "You hear about this anti-Collective group?"

Jakor turned and saw some people conversing. He decided to inconspicuously listen in.

Alien: "The Collective has a whole hate group?"

Man 1(yellow): "This is serious. We are supposed to let them integrate into our society, but this group is still at war with them."

Man 2: "There has recently been vandalism and destruction of property, and all those reports are from Collective establishments."

Alien: "How do we even know about the existence of this league?"

Man 2: "They were present during the Collective war, and they have been sighted at the scenes of their crimes. It is said that they all have mismatched armor."

Alien: "They don’t seem stranger than those Collective creeps."

???: "Excuse me?!"

Alien 2: "I so happen to be part of these ‘Collective creeps'."

Alien 1: "Oh, pardon me."

Alien 2: "By the way, I own that store over there that will be opening soon."

Man 1: "Oh, really? What will you be selling?"

Alien 2: "You’ll see when it opens."

Alien 2: "Were you conversing on the Anti-Collective League?"

Man 2: "Uh, yea. What is your opinion on them?"

Alien 2: "I can understand how they were a help to you when we were at war with you, but that is over now. There is no reason for them to keep antagonizing us now."

Alien 1: "Hold on-"

Alien 1: "Hey,you!"

Jakor: "Uh oh. Who, me?"

Alien 1: "Yeah you! Are you creeping on us?"

Jakor: "Yo, waddaya mean, yo?"

Man 2: "You’ve been listening on us, have you?"

Jakor: "No way, yo."

Man 1: "That seems suspicious to me."

Alien 1: "What if you are one of those anti Collective people."

Jakor: "Really, now, there’s now need for this, yo."

Man 1: "You do look like one of them mismatched Leaguers."

Man 2: "I bet you’ve got an explosive remote to wreck this man’s business."

Alien 2: "Search him!"

Jakor: "Yo, hey! Stop, yo!"

Alien 1: "Now what is this that I have just found?"

Man 2: "That’s gotta be an explosive remote for sure!"

Jakor: "Yo, man, that’s just my ship activation key."

Alien 1: "Let’s just see about that."

\*click\*

And then, by gross coincidence-

(Explosion)

(note to self: should have added flames to wreckage)

Alien 2: "You-you blew up my store!"

Alien 1: "I did not know it would do that! It’s him who is at fault!"

Jakor: "Hey, yo, that was just a coincidence! That really was a ship activation key!"

Man 2: "Disguising an explosive remote."

Man 1: "You don’t have the rest of your leaguers to get you out of this."

Man 2: "You’re coming with us."

Alien 1: "Get him!"

Whack!

Man 1: "That guy’s got skills!"

Alien 2: "I saw him go into that alleyway."

Alien 2: "When I get my hands on him-!"

Alien 1: "Where is he?"

Alien 2: "I thought I saw him."

Man 2: "He must have gone somewhere else."

Man 1: "The streets must be protected!"

Jakor: **Interesting. Now to continue my search.**

Wump!

???: "Got you."

???: "You’re coming with us."

To be continued.
