By this time, quite a crowd had gathered. The parking attendants sighed and slipped off as the commotion drew the attention of the law enforcers. They stepped over with their hands by their waists where Lex handcannons and Prova batons were holstered.

 

"Thank you sir." one of them nodded to Umbra as he listened to his words. The other cocked his head to the side as he surveyed the two Tenno in their scuffle before opening his mouth.

 

"So... are you two ladies done? Or will you be accompanying us back to the station?"

"I'll go with you officers." Urza called, the flames intensifying around her, getting to temperatures enough to melt ferrite. "You'll want to let me go now, before I start melting your warframe." Urza said to Umbra, reportedly still on the ground.((World on Fire deals tons of damage to warframes, they can't withstand ember's flames. But we can but it off to "She didn't want to hurt Umbr that bad.))

The two officers looked at each other awkwardly, seemingly vaguely surprised by Urza's response. They shrunk away mildly from the heat, though their personal shielding protected them well.

 

"Well, I'd rather have avoided that miss. But if your friend here doesn't calm down, we'll have to be talking over a spot of tea and crumpets in the holding room." one replied, gesturing at Rose. "Oh, and uh put away those flames if you please. If this kind sir here would graciously relinquish his grip on you."

 

Meanwhile, his partner crossed his arms and turned to Rose. "Are you ready to calm down, miss?" he asked her. "Or do we have a date?"

Urza stopped flaming, her warframe thickening as it changed to it's natural state, prying Umbra off her and tossing him aside, holding her wrists out.

"Cuff me officers. Let's go. I invited the attack, I want to press no charges." She said, standing next to the officers.

"Huh? Oh. Well, alright then." the officer replied, raising an odd-looking metal implement that released a loose coil of energy cuffs around her wrists. They were warm to the touch, but he ensured that they weren't tight enough to be excessively restrictive. After all, he did not seem like he really wanted to be taking her into custody in the first place.

 

"Hey Germs! How about this one?" his partner asked, pointing to Rose. The officer he called Germs beckoned him over. "Nah, her boyfriend there should handle her fine. Let's just bring this lady in for now." 

 

The crowd parted to make way for the officers as they escorted Urza to the nearest enforcer station near the Hangar entrance.

Urza looked at one of the enforcers,

"A station this big has to have some kind of jail, correct?" She asked, knowing the answer full well.

((Yes or no, either works, I just don't want you to think I'm forcing you to answer in one way or the other.))

"We do indeed." the officer replied as he led her to the counter in the station's lobby. He then removed her cuffs with a click of the restraining instrument that he carried, then tapped away quickly on the counter to produce a holographic form.

 

"Alright, just acknowledge here that you've been released and you're free to go." he told her. 

 

"That quickly?" the receptionist asked. "Why did you even drag her in here anyway?"

 

"Just breaking up a fight." came the reply. "And that's that now. We still have the rest of our break to go for, so let's just get this formality out of the way and we can continue our leisurely time in the Night Market. Without getting into any more scuffles of course."

(OOC: Was offline at the time. Either way, most of the things the fire can damage are internal, and there isn't much of that. Maybe warped support structures at worst.)

 

Rose sat on the bench and put her hands on her face. "I'm not in the mood Umbra..." She said before he could say a word.

Umbra sighed. "Until you said that, I wasn't going to say anything. Now I am actually considering never stepping foot on a civilian installation again if conflict is just going to follow me everywhere." The Ash sighed again. He was never going to be able to forget that mission.

"A bit anti-climactic." Urza chuckled, glancing around and shrugging. "Alright, have a good day officers, and you." She said, regarding the receptionist as signed the from and walked out the door.

Deciding that no-one was going to talk to him, Umbra decided to do something utterly and extremely random. Generating a holographic woolen plaid jacket, holographic denim jeans and a holographic woodcutters ax, he started strolling around the market, singing loudly.
"Iiiii'm a lumberjack and I'm okay. I sleep all night and I work all day!"
 

(OOC: Monty Pythons Lumberjack song. Sorry, couldn't stand the silence

And if you'll excuse me, I have to see someone about a parrot.)

After singing the entirety of the Lumberjack song (with Sudo playing the chorus) three times, Umbra decided to stop. It was fun, but it could get boring, and people tend to throw sharp implements at him when he does such things. Probably because they constantly suspect he's stolen something. Or maybe it's because those people are Tenno. Probably best not to dwell on such things.

He sat down on the nearest bench and started contemplating the mysteries of the universe, and a few other things too.

"Hey Sudo, what do you think is best in life?"

To hear the screams of ten thousand dying Tenno. You?

"Mozart and Beethoven."

((A good point though.))

Urza, now free, from her short term incarceration, smirked, turning right and walking away as soon as she was through the door, she had hoped to get at least as far as the jail, but the receptionist's computer would have to do. As she signed, she'd infected it with a virus, not breaking anything, but scanning all their records and files, looking for someone.

((I'd like to assume the night market would Jail someone who has no regard for tenno life, treats everything like it's a tool to be used, and goes around ripping up pieces of the market in order to use it as a material.))

Umbra sighed. It was quite boring.
"Ah, to the Void with it. I'm getting restless. Sudo, any bounties or raids operational?"
There is a raid on a Corpus facility on the Arcadia node proper requested. Quite the paycheck too.

"Sounds fun. Let's go!" Umbra said as he leaped off the bench and strolled off back toward the hangar. He had a good feeling about that paycheck. After all, the last mission was a veritable suicide mission. How could this one be worse?

Until local security is aware and actually have any grounds on which to take her in, they wouldn't.

 

The station's logs were easily accessed from any terminal, and easy to browse through seeing as the station actually had few troublemakers to detain in the first place. Medical and visiting records were held in different databases however, which were completely inaccessible from here.

The local prison block wasn't typically open to visitors, but a reception lobby existed, manned by a curt operator in a black jumpsuit. He looked up as she entered, then adjusted his collar and reached for his keypad.

 

"Your business here, madam?" he asked.

A door to the right clicked open as the receptionist processed her request.

 

"Follow standard checking procedures and surrender all armaments to the warden before proceeding to the communal cell." he told her, waving her towards the door before returning to his work. Inside it, a burly guard was waiting to escort the visitor to a room where she would be separated from the detainee by three powerful layers of force fields, but still have visual and audio contact.

"Why thank you." She nodded to the operator, stepping through the door and hefting her Opticor, the only weapon she carried, it was heavy, far heavier than a normal Opticor, and carrying it and other weapons would strain her movements past her ability to do parkour and the like.

A MOA was ready to receive her weapon gently with a tractor beam, and promised her in a cheery robotic voice that it would take good care of the gun. The guard next to it didn't seem so friendly however, giving her little more than a cold glance as he walked her to the room that had been prepared for her and the prisoner that she wished to speak to. The transparent force-field divided the room into half with both parties on either end. Small benches faced each other with the barrier between them, and a set of speakers carried sound across so they could converse.

Urza walked along, looking at a force field and sitting in front of it, looking through it to see a very particular butcher. Scarred and disgruntled, he looked at Urza through the shield.

"You. Different now." He croaked, unable to speak much because of persistent pain in his throat as he spoke.

"I'm actually not the same person I was." Urza responded, and the butcher shook his head, leaning close to the field.

"You. Seem different, you are different, but same. Older, but same person... Same soul." He told her, and Urza was stopped for a second, her draw dropping. She quickly recomposed herself, and smirked, shaking her head.

"You don't understand, I'm not Nata-"

"Natalia? No. You. Urza." He interrupted her, and continued, "And you seek purpose... Directive."

Urza, baffled, stuttered for a response,

"H-how do you-?"

"They call me insane. They say I crazy. They kill my voice, while trying to kill me, a fourth time. So they insane, I. Insane. You? Sane? No. I? Insane? No. I just see strings of life. Pluck, pluck, pluck. But You. Out of tune. I know more from. You carry reason. You carry story........" He said, needing to recover for a moment. "You. Urza. And your directive? Come in tune. Live. Love. Later, life say, 'need new' and cut string. And then, directive, fall away. Be nothing."

"Now you're definitely wrong. I can't die." She told him, slightly unnerved.

"Then you live still, life not yet cut string. But one day. You go too far, too far to be fixed, and the end." He said, now standing, heading back to his cell, not saying goodbye. Leaving a shattered, crushed Urza, se curled up, not sure why she was so affected, but then the reason came to her. 'She was immortal. But she definitely couldn't exist forever. Something would happen. She would eventually end.' This thought hit her like a train, and she wiped a year from her face. Staying in the room a couple minutes longer, getting composed, deciding to deal with it later. But something, a voice whispered in the back of her mind.

'You don't have to be afraid. You, we can bring out the ultimate armor, and we could never be hurt.' It assured her, and she freaked out a little, taking her weapon from the proxy with a wave as she left.
