Dusty glared at her sister, Why did she always have to be such a pain?. She moved her glance to Anthong and smiled "Yes the Zanshatama case." She put her right hand on the desk and opened one of her folders and pulled it out, "We can talk about this now. I am sure my sister can wait." Dusty motioned to the chairs in front of her desk, "Please sit down." She sat down in her own and crossed her legs.

She smiled warmly back at her sister as she noticed the glare and walked over to sit in one of the small leather chairs, "I'm sure I can just move to where ever my sister is moving to. We could all live together again and be a nice happy family." She smiled and sat down in the chair. "So what is this case you all are talking about? Or would you rather have me leave to talk about it in private?" She turned around to look back at Anthong who was standing by the door.

A slight frown crossed Anthong’s face. He was obviously not impressed with the sisters’ rivalry. “As Ms. Zanshatama is still a minor it would not be prudent to speak of it in front of civilians. Please just forward the paperwork to my account, I will review it later and contact you with additional questions if necessary. I will contact Mr. Babek later.”
Anthong did not take a seat or move. “Do you require me for anything?” He tone was neutral as most would expect, but those accustomed to him would find the question odd.

Dusty pushed a small black button on her desk which made it turn black and go into a kind of 'sleep' but then looked back up to Anthong, "Well if you have to get back to work I won't stop you but I am sure whatever my sister has to say won't take that long. So you are free to stay and wait if you wish." She turned back to her sister, "What would you like to speak to me about Kiwi?"

Kiwi turned around in her leather chair and faced her sister, "Well I was going to ask you about whats really happening with Eastern Gate?" She motioned with her hand back to Anthong, "He began to sorta fill me in, but I want to hear it from a relative."
She cleared her throat and looked over to Dusty. "Now I heard that the Colonel guy left and hasn't come back yet...is he dead? Is he the reason Eastern Gate is closing? Once this Gate does close where are you going to go Dusty? Where are they going to put you?" She leaned forward in her chair. "I need to stay in space Dusty, you know why. You cant just go somewhere else without telling me. I am your older sister I am supposed to take care of you."

With a silent nod to Dusty, Anthong sat down. He made no effort to join the dueling siblings’ conversation; in fact it looked more like he was ignoring it completely. Anthong quietly flicked his gloves to life and sifted through various holographs and screens. Fingers flipped through the air, as Anthong busied himself apart from the sisters.

Dusty leaned back in her chair and sighed, she knew that in some ways Kiwi depended on her and thats another reason that Kiwi disliked her. "I can't release much information to you Kiwi. In fact I don't really know myself where they are going to put me once Eastern Gate closes. But I will tell you if I can where I am moving to once I know. Also Eastern Gate is not closing because the Colonel has not returned yet, it is closing for various reasons which I am not going to share. I do not know if the Colonel is deceased but I highly doubt it, I really don't know the reason why he hasn't come back yet." She leaned forward in her leather chair and looked intently into Kiwi's eyes, "I know you are here Kiwi because you believe you can easily get information out of me, but today is not the day to try. I have much work to get done and I really don't want to have to add you to the workload."

She frowned at her sister and slouched in her chair, she obviously wasn't going to get much out of her if she was being pissy about everything. She suddenly stood up "Fine." She began walking towards the door but stopped right the door would open for her, "I suppose I need one of you to bring me to the elevator." She said looking back to the two.

Anthong slapped his gloves and stood, but looked at Dusty instead of Kiwi. "I'll wait in my office. When you have a spare minute please stop by." He inclined his head toward Kiwi as he stepped out of the Dusty’s office. “A pleasure.” A few seconds later, a neighboring door opened and closed as Anthong went to his own office.

Dusty nodded to Anthong as he left and walked out of her office as well. She looked behind to see that her sister was following and began to walk towards the elevator, "It was very childish of you to come to my office and expect to get answers out of me just because I am your sister."
She sighed, she was so disappointed on how things had turned out with her sisters. Deep down she wished they were closer, but they never would be because neither side would be willing to change themselves that completely. "I do understand that you want to stay in space and not go back home. But you cant follow me around everywhere. Maybe you should start looking into other planets or get into a relationship with someone of Eastern Gate. I can't be your babysitter forever Kiwi."

((ooc: I'm combining my two people..cause its easier that way and I can fit more stuff. yay stuff!))
"Childish? Please Dusty...you aren't even an adult yet in my eyes. Don't talk like I am being the childish one. I heard earlier that you had to go to herb shop to get something for a hangover? A hangover Dusty? Come on what is wrong with you? I am the one that has to be a babysitter here." She angrily ran a hand through her hair as her eyes began to get glassy with tears "And Dusty you don't understand why I have to stay in space. You don't know what its like to love someone with all your heart and think you will be able to spend the rest of your life with them. But then some evil person comes and rips it all away from you." She wiped at the tears running down her face, "Unless you have the same thing happen you Dusty, which I hope you never have to go through. I'm sorry but you will never ever understand."
Dusty had already pushed the button for the elevator and it arrived soon after. Both women rode the elevator in silence most of the way and Dusty spoke again "I'm sorry if I upset you, I didn't mean it that way." The doors opened for the lobby and Kiwi began to walk away "Good bye Dusty." She whispered. Dusty nodded in return and pushed the Y button to go meet with Anthong in his office.
When the elevator arrived again on Dusty's level she stepped out and began to walk towards Anthong's office. As she was walking the security system became alert and the weapons appeared in front of her. "INTRUDER! INTRUDER!" What? She held her hands in front of the weapons "Hey! I'm not an intruder...this is Major McCleary. Stop!"

Anthong stepped out of his office as the alarm sounded, a pistol extended. He stared at Dusty a mere second before slapping his outer control panel. “Core! Anthong Sin: recognize. Cease defensive action Y level elevator block. Hold fire! Authority code: SinAlphaEyeDee, voice command recognize.” For a tense second the defense system held, but the weapons nearest the elevators suddenly pulled up and away.
“Major, enter the elevator and return to ground level. Catch your sister and get your ID back now. I will follow you after I cancel your clearance. Go!” Without waiting for Dusty, Anthong accessed the core system with his gloves, pulling up emergency screens. Unless Kiwi had immediately gotten the card to a hacker within the minute it took Dusty to return to Y level; the ID was now void and tagged.

Dusty nodded quickly and returned inside the elevator, I cant believe she would do something like this!. As the elevator landed on the lobby floor, Dusty ran out pushing through the crowd trying to get into the elevator. "MOVE!" She yelled and the crowd made a path quickly for her. She ran to the government doors, dodging civilians and other government workers along the way. The doors opened for her and she stopped for a few moments trying to scan the crowd to see her sister's red hair.
"Nothing. Damn it Kiwi." She knew her sisters had a room inside the galley, but didn't really know which room. She stepped to the side of the doors as she realized she was blocking the entrance. She pulled out her small holo computer and said "Computer." The lights turned on and it spoke "Welcome Major McCleary." Dusty sighed, "I have told you to call me Dusty but that is not the problem right now. My sister Kiwi GloryRoad McCleary," In response to the name the computer pulled up her information "stole my ID and now Anthong Sin and I are trying to find her and get it back," the computer tried to pull up information on him but it said "No information available." Dusty rolled her eyes "pfff, what a surprise." She looked down at her sisters information and found her room number and began to run in the direction.

Anthong had just stepped out of the elevator as Dusty took off running. He checked his pistol and leapt after Dusty. He may not have been as young as Dusty, but he quickly caught up with her as she fought through the crowds. “Your clearance has been wiped, do not return to Y level until I contact you again. And there is a warrant out for your sister’s arrest. You might want to find her before I do.”

She nodded to Anthong as he ran up beside her and slightly shook her head "We were never that close but I never believed that she would do something like this." She sighed and continued on her way through the crowd, "She has a room in the Galley, 014...so hopefully she has gone there. But if not we can search for where all the Estreans are on board now." She saw the Galley ahead and increased her running, hopefully Kiwi wasn't doing anything too stupid with her ID. Does she even know how much trouble she is going to be in?
