After the fight was over, Roland was visibly calmer within just a few seconds, and after he took a deep breath there was no hint that he had been screaming in rage in battle less than a minute ago. As everyone else headed back to the ship, he walked over to Monsoon's corpse and stabbed him in the temple with his own sai. He did this quickly, as if he expected Monsoon to suddenly get up and start attacking, but the cyborg's body remained lifeless and in pieces.
Having made sure that Monsoon was really dead, Roland headed back to the ship. Rather than head inside, he leaned against the side of the ship so that he had a clear view of the World Marshall building. He stood like a statue in the rain, eyes moving ever so slightly as he looked very closely at every part of the building. He didn't react to anyone who walked by, although he did stop to watch as Dave attended to the fallen Dace.

I walk up to Roland while finishing putting my new cloths on. "Roland. Glad to see you weren't crushed by a flying vehicle."
[color=01A9DB]"What use would you be to me, robot?"[/color] Roland asked Dave without looking away from the building.
[color=01A9DB]"Aye. I wish I could say the same to you, but at least you recovered you recovered swiftly."[/color] Roland said, looking at X-9. [color=01A9DB]"Dace was not so fortunate."[/color]

"I'm a fully functioning worker droid. capable of lifting up to a thousand pounds, I am proficient in cleaning, repairing, piloting ships, have an encyclopedic knowledge, and if you have no moral qualms, I am capable of killing."
[color=01A9DB]"I would rather have you in direct danger than another of our Ka-Tet."[/color] Roland thought aloud. [color=01A9DB]"Very well, robot."[/color]. He reached into his satchel as if to find something with which to buy Dave, but instead produced a single bullet. He began spinning the bullet across his fingertips in an attempt to hypnotize the robot that probably wouldn't work.
Roland manged to sidestep Dave's punch, causing him to hit the ship instead. [color=01A9DB]"I beg your pardon sai, but if you wish for respect you would do well not to sell yourself as an object."[/color]
[color=01A9DB]"Very well, robot. But you do realize that none of us even possess the currency you are asking for, correct? "[/color]
[color=01A9DB]"I have gold, silver, and gemstones. Would that be acceptable as payment?"[/color]
After escorting your friends to the location of the mercenary HQ, you head off to make another delivery of cargo to the city of Damascus. When you get back you see the signs of battle and set down, getting a sinking feeling that the battle was hard won.
OoC: Yeah the time gets a bit weird there, but I needed a reason Shara didn't participate in the fight. Sorry about that, by the way.

"Shame. What happens to his ship then?" This other robot selling himself puts me in a bad mood, but I can't really fault him.
[color=01A9DB]"This other robot may be the only one who can pilot it."[/color] Roland answered X-9.
EMily came back in, her level of wetness from being outside was self explanatory.
"Gwen, do you want to head to the restroom in the ship to dry off?"
<color=purple>"Sure thing." Gwen went ahead to find it once more. She and her sister got to know the ship a bit more since their four day stay going back and forth between Shara's ship and the late Dace's.
"I'll be right behind you." She turned back to X-9. "How's your leg holding up X-9? Does it work alright?"
