"Yes, and it does cause issue.. The Ekero seem to understand and keep their distance, but others tend to crowd."
Dax arms himself with a low-energy firearm, and a set of blades, all of which he absorbs and hides within his bone-like internal structure.

Romando07

FangTheCat
"Naturally. Well, I am ready to go. Where to first?"

FangTheCat

Romando07

"Your choice, But first I recommend maybe checking out a place to stay. The Zace tower is a great place, secure and you can't miss it."

As they exit the ship, it enters a modified Void cloak, making it appear as if the ship is painted in much simpler colors, it hides the Golden accents as well.

"Walking would take a while, your choice between taking a vehicle most of the way there or not."
"Once we get close walking is simply the better option, as traffic is still an issue. Some people refuse to switch to automated vehicles, but I suppose I can understand."

Romando07

FangTheCat
"I have been sitting in my ship for hours, a little walking around wont hurt. Where is the Zace tower?"
he asks, exiting the ship.

FangTheCat

Romando07

"Right over there."
It's a fair distance away, but the Tower is clearly visible, nearly white in color with curved spires around the primary tower, which in itself is a massive tall spike, which almost appears to be the center of the city, despite not being so.

"Iru looks up for a moment.*
"We should have a few hours daylight, and even then we shouldn't need that much time."

Romando07

FangTheCat
"Great. Lead the way." he says, looking at the tower.

FangTheCat

Romando07
"Alright."
Iru walks briskly, once off the landing pad, they're immediately in the city.
As they come to a crosswalk, a wide road with lights, the crosswalk itself is lit in a dim red.
A moment later, vehicles stop in a near-perfect line, excluding the non-automated vehicle at the end. Each vehicle lights up with orange in the front, with once again the last one being a little late.

Iru beckons to the others and they cross.

All around them is a bustling city, yet somehow it feels calm, with little noise other than whir of the vehicles' engines.
Ekero, Sicuts, Supuls and the occasional Avoct on the streets with Ekero being of the greatest variety, some have restructured themselves to have significantly different appearances.

One Ekero has even lowered itself into a quadruped stance.

"Actual crime is low, but there's wannabe gangs that think they can do something."
"They still run away from the Enforcers, or modified Sentinels who help the city from reaching a tall shelf to stopping a robbery."

"Enforcers have VERs equipped, Void Emitter Rifles.. they're weaker than VECs and these particular ones are more like automatic tasers than rifles, as it's the only thing that's safe enough for all species yet even effective on Ekero."

"Dax, you remember when you were VERed because you wanted to see what it was like."
The Ekero nods.
"No vontrol over my body. I vust zink to a pool on the grund."

Romando07

FangTheCat
"Sorry to hear that Dax, must have felt bad. It's good to see crime being low though."
He tells Dax and Iru.

FangTheCat

Romando07
Dax nods, and the group continue walking.
"And that there is an Enforcer."

A relatively large digitigrade machine wielding a modified VER is walking slowly down the street, citizens don't seem to care that it's there.

A Sicut tries to get into a vehicle by unlocking the door, it fails.. then fails again, she sighs and the Enforcer turns itself abruptly.

Scanning Key Identification.
The Sicut holds up her vehicle's key; a silver-ish object.
DNA Match confirmed. Overriding Veraser Aerseer - 3K Lock.

The Enforcer's lights change colors rapidly before it shoves a small device into the vehicle's passenger side maintenance hatch. It's colors flash quickly before the Vehicle immediately starts up, the doors opening.

Lock Overridden. Veraser Aerseer computers updated. Primary Computers optimized. Subsystems Optimized. Security Systems Updated.

The Sicut hands her key to the Enforcer, who retracts it into his arm for a moment, releasing it once again.
Key Repaired and Updated.

The Enforcer turns away, continuing it's stroll.

"They do a lot, now hypothetically, if that wasn't her vehicle she would be warned and given the location of the vehicle that is hers. If the DNA in the key did not match her, or a direct relative or acquaintance of hers, she would have the key taken and her.. the equivalent of a smart-phone, scanned for people and conversation that the Key matches."

"A. The key would be given back. B. She would get the Key taken and be fined. or C. Assuming she ran away, would be VERed and arrested."

Romando07

FangTheCat
"Seems like an efficent system." He says, looking at the enforcer.

The Enforcer's head turns, scanning the area, it turns to Iru, Dax, and Umbrio.
Unregistered Civilian Detected.
The Enforcer has its weapon lowered, but moves across the street.
Please State your Name and supply a source of DNA.
Scanning.
Human.
Unregistered DNA.
Unregistered ID.

Iru waves a hand in front of the machine's monoeye, which is adjusting itself to see every detail of Umbrio's face.
The machine turns to face Iru, then quickly stands straight.
It creates a buzzing sound, some people look across the street but don't stop to watch.
ID Required.
The machine creates a short noise somewhat like a low bark or short cough.
Scanning Device.
Iru holds out her own device.
Unregistered Marked as Accompanied.
Carry On.

The machine turns its lower body first, then it's upper body, walking down the street once more.
"It knew who I was, but they know to stay quiet."

Romando07

FangTheCat
Umbrio curiously looks at the enforcer.
"Thats certainly useful. Will they remember me?"

FangTheCat

Romando07
"Yes, they will. But if you're unaccompanied or have no pass, which I can give you later, then they will require you to basically register yourself as a known person."

Romando07

FangTheCat
Umbrio nods and continues walking.

(Sorry It took so long, there's a lot more other than this, I'm just spacing it apart.)
After a short while of walking, the streets are relatively clear as the sky begins to darken, and from one of the alleyways between buildings come a small group of Sicuts, with several Supuls mixed in, wielding hand-made weaponry.. they turn to the group after chuckling to eachother.
"Spare some Ducats ma'am Spare some Ducats.."
The Sicuts looks past Iru to Umbrio.
"Ducats, sir? Or.. do you use credits? Any other valuables?"

Iru shakes her head, Dax's internal structuring breaks apart to reveal the weaponry he's stored. Dax pulls Umbrio back behind him and one of the Sicuts scoff.
"I thought you guys didn't like humans.. So Ducats or no?"
Iru turns slightly.
"Here we don't use galactic credits, rathe-"
"I Don't Ca-care about any.. Militavy Training you has.. have.. Ztay Back"
The Sicut growls, his grip tightening on his weapon, a metal bar which appears to be scrapped from a vehicle.

Romando07

FangTheCat
Umbrio seems deeply unimpressed with the Sicuts and Supuls. He remains quiet, but fixates his eyes n the leader, piercing him with his sharp look. He decides to let Iru and Dax do the talking, if there is any chance of peace, he cant help by talking, but he seemed ready to fight.

Romando07
A leading Sicut swings the metal bar at Iru, albeit clumsily,
Iru ducks flawlessly, landing the rod into Dax's gelatinous flesh.. stopping it completely as the flesh hardens, bending the rod slightly.
"Mizztake"
Dax grabs the Sicut by the face, pinning him against the wall, a foul-smelling stench rises as Dax tosses the Sicut as if he was nothing, the Sicut's face is seared, much of the fur and outer skin has been taken off, along with one eye.

Two of the other Sicuts charge, getting promptly and cleanly impaled by Dax's internal structuring, now protruding as blades.

Iru has moved her way back with Umbrio.
"This is what I mean, These degenerates roam the streets around dark. How long has it been since an actual robbery? Quite a while, actually.. Even untrained Ekero can take out a small group if they want to."

One of the Supuls growls, and as he steps forward, a claw impales him, along with Dax, from the alley.. The claw pulls the Supul away but Dax escapes with minimal damage, only losing a little gelatinous mass.

The remaining group turns to the alleyway and stare wide-eyed. Not too far away, an Enforcer turns the corner, immediately raising its weapon and leaping to the location, blue jets of energy spraying from its back.

Registered Criminals. Give yourself up o-
The small group are at the Enforcer's feet, trying to move away from the alleyway.
Higher Threat possible.
The Enforcer releases small arms which cuff the wannabe criminals, and it moves in front of the alleyway.

No Threat Detected.
. . .
Calling Assistance.
Another enforcer appears, modified.
Cuts Clean. They Will Survive.
Dax's blades retract into his body.
We apologize for this inconvenience.

Dax shakes himself, the hard biological plate that formed is now slowly deconstructing itself.
"Ztupid Zicets.. Ekero alvays vin."
Dax looks around the corner of the Alleyway.
"Iz ca-Clear"

Only seconds later, Umbrio would notice roughly 5 Enforcers in the immediate vicinity.
"They'll.. clean of up mess, let's just go."

The criminals are hauled away by the Enforcers, still looking wide-eyes into the alley.

As the three pass, Umbrio might see a looming figure, massive even compared to the Enforcers, covered in dim and tired-looking eyes. Chains bind the figure to it's spot.. The others don't seem to notice it, even Dax, who just looked through it.
"I'm.. Very Hunzgry now."

"So.. Dax.. we saw you get.. uh.. impaled by something."
"Hvm?"
Iru is still shaky, composing herself.
"Did you not notice? It took away the Supul."
"Zupul iz over there?"
Dax points to an Enforcer hauling a live Supul, fear-stricken to the extent he doesn't even appear to breathe.
"I.. Let's hurry up already."

Romando07

FangTheCat
Umbrio looks at Iru and asks:
"Excuse me, I believe I might be hallucinating."
He explains to Iru what he saw.

FangTheCat

Romando07
"Strange.. you saw what I saw too didn't you? The Supul and Dax getting impaled? But then we turned around and it's like nothing happened."

Iru looks back into the alleyway.. there's still nothing there.

"I think we should just move on."
"Yez. I agree."

Romando07

FangTheCat
"Strange indeed... I agree, lets move on."

FangTheCat

Romando07

Other than that occurrence, the rest of the walk seems somewhat normal, with Umbrio occasionally seeing a shadow moving lazily in the edge of his vision.. Iru seems to see something occasionally too, although at different times, she looks quickly to the side.. Dax seems to see nothing out of the ordinary.
