The Spector

This was it, this was the moment he had been working towards for YEARS. The moment when he could get back the only troll that ever truly mattered to him. His Matesprite, Calmet.

"VECTOR!" The palmhusk in his hand trembled with his fear and excitement as he sent a message back to his contact: distantWorker- Ai found them. Violet right? distantWorker- ship #8375. It's not good. spirtualCarpenter- Omw spirtualCarpenter- Get out if you can

After a few moments of staring at the palmhusk his perpetual annoyance materialized behind him, making his presence known by shoving his face through Alacar's until Alacar could see the back of his glowing eyes. This, of course made the living man whirl around and physically slap the ghost using his ability to interact with spirits. "Ouch! Damn, I forgot you can touch me." "Yes well, perhaps you'll keep that in mind in the future instead of being a prick." "Ah but where is the fun in that?" The ghost pulled his legs up off the ground and sat criss-cross in the air, slowly rotating as he continued to speak. "So bossman, what did you need from your good ol' pal Vector the Spector!" Alacar pinched the bridge of his nose, if it wasn't for the joy of being able to see Calmet soon he wouldn't want to deal with this massive headache, but for them, he would do anything. "Do you know anything about ship #8375?" "I mean, sure! It's a ship, and its number is 8375."Vector smiled, now upside down and smug. "Do you know anything useful about ship #8375?" "Hey, those are both useful things, now you know it's actually a ship, and that the number for it is accurate." "V E C T O R....." "Alright man chill, look it's one of the common rotations for the doctor, and if the doctor is there you're probably gonna need some muscle because it's gonna be pretty packed on board if you know what I mean. Other than that it's a basic ship, I can give it a scout for you if you do something for me." Alacar hesitated for only a moment before agreeing. "Alright, what do you want?" "I want you to send a message to Feashe for me." Alacar's brows shot up, that was a person who was not easy to reach. "What do you want me to say?" There was a long pause from the ghost where he stopped spinning and went back to standing. So long was the pause that Alacar began to think Vector was messing with him again, but the dead man spoke and when he did he was much more serious than before. "Ship 8375 is actually the Empress's ship. going there is probably going to be your death, So gather an army, and make sure you have a way to get out because if you don't make it back I'm shit out of luck." Alacar debated how worthwhile it would be to be angry that Vector was planning on letting him go into his death, but it wasn't worth it, not if it meant possibly losing more information. "Also if you had a contact on that ship." The ghost continued speaking. "He's more than likely dead, spies don't last long on board, the empress has a way of smelling treachery, I think maybe literally.... either way, you're going to need to convince someone on board to help you or pray that she's not on board that day." "And if she is?" "Well then pray you didn't piss her off, then at least you'll die fast." With that, the sector began to fade. "But if you do make it back, then you can pay me back." Finally, he fully disappeared and Alacar was left to sit and think about how the hell he was going to raid the Empress's ship and live.
