Neeblestrix shouldered his way through the door into the shop, raising an eyebrow when he saw Kevin. He nodded and said thoughtfully "Ah, I guess you'll be wanting those guns...." He steped back into the storeroom behind the shop, near the stairs up this room. He picked out a black rectangular case and brought it in, hauling it onto the counter. He flicked up the latches and opened it, revealing a slender rifle, about as long as someones arm, a scope mounted on the top and a circular ammo drum, different clips with different symbols on them were located in various pockets around the case. He said aloud "This should suit your needs..."
The Hornet hung paitently from the clamps keeping him suspended next to the work bench... the old man, whose name he had yet to discover, was busy replacing a few wires in his knee, which was handy as they led to a part of his diagnostics system. If the old man could fix them up, he might be able to make the rest of the repairs himself... the boy, he had worked out was named Martain. He enjoyed when the kid came downstairs, his conversations with the old man about what he was were usually funny. the boy had a great imagination, one of his theories was that the Hornet was actually an alien envoy sent to negotiate with the govenor, but a misunderstanding had led to his spaceship being shot down, so he crawled to the farm house.....
Sadly, Martain was apparently caught up with school most days...
Meanwhile, a circular drone zipped through the city sky, the hologram of a large bird projected beneath it, closeing in on the residence of one Valentino Leone... It angled down, swooping towards the huge building below... It was shaped like a ring, a fan on the inside acting as an internal heliblade to keep it airbourne, 2 arms folded along the front of the ring, 2 legs along the back. 2 small thrusters were atached to the top of the ring to make it faster... The machines crescent head poked foreward, held out by a mechanical arm, two blueish eyes scanning the building ahead. The drone swooped intowards the structures roof, slowing and dropping onto it, legs poping out to full length, bending to asorb the impact, arms hunched up, clawed fingers clicking.... It glanced around before releaseing a satisfied evil giggle, one of its hands swiveling around and folding back, a small gun barrel pokeing out, silently firing a large pin into the roof before moving around to fire several more....
