Mass Effect RP: The Aegis Protection Firm - Full

[XxSummonerxX]

"You'll hurt me with it how? Hacking? Special programs written by the best man in the business (myself), extra armour, self destruct mechanism that overrides all programming that and look at him, he's a little puppy!" Wires bent over and scratched behind where Erebus' ears would be if he were a real dog.

 

[Laser Priest]

"Light enough for me to lift, and heavy enough to hurt you if you keep your mechs running around here," Santius said. "Look, I don't like these machines and I ask you kindly to keep them away from me before I have to disassemble them."

 

[Chicago Ted]

Keith:

"Try her now!" Keith yelled as he pulled his head out from an open panel on the inside of the Gauntlet.

Kryxus tested a few things in the cockpit, and soon enough, the engines came to life, giving off a low hum that said it was ready for take off.

"What was it?" Kryxus asked as he powered the ship down and stepped back into the cargo bay.

"Electrical problem," Keith said as he reattached the panel on the side. "Was causing engine three to just not start up. Still would have been able to fly her, but even Elcor'd be passing you."

"Good to know," Kryxus said as he opened his Comms up to Lux. "Lux, Keith got her fixed, assemble everyone, we're good to go."

Lux soon relayed the message to the rest of the company, telling them to get on the Gauntlet as soon as possible.

Terina moved out of the room quickly, heading onto the Gauntlet and sitting in a nearby seat.

 

[Laser Priest]

Santius slowly backed out of the room, making sure his eyes stayed on Wires' for as long as possible. Once he exited the room, he quickly turned and ran to the Gauntlet.

"I almost forgot how fun this is when Krogans aren't trying to beat you to death," he said.

 

[Athol]

Finishing his smoke, John stood and put his helmet on. "Kinda makes ya fell alive dosne it?" he said, look at Santius. Pulling his M-96 from its shoulder mount he muttered "Time to earn my keep," then jumped into the Gauntlet.

Paladin nodded in affirmation that he had heard, and walked into the Gauntlet. He found an empty seat and sat down, fiddling with the thermal clips he had strapped to his arm, which served the purpose of keeping his hands busy while his mind went over possible tactics, as well as loosening the clips to make it even easier to remove them if he needed to, in addition to checking for any that fit too loosely in their sleeves, and risked falling out.

He had overheard the pilot talking about the ships engine, Ethan briefly debated offering his help, one doesn't live with a Quarian for almost five years without picking up a few tricks. But he could tell by the hum in his ears and the vibration under his feet that any help he would offer would just be redundant. And since they wouldn't be breaking atmo, there was no reason to double check.

So Paladin sat back and waited for everyone else to board, Lux would brief them on what they would be expecting, and then, if there was anything to ask, he'd make sure to ask it.

 

[Viking Incognito]

Dregger trudged onto the Gauntlet looking disappointed. He had been anticipating a real fight after the rumors he had heard on the way over here and now all he had to look forward to was smugglers. If things didn't shape up fast he had half a mind to turn on these guys for the sake of a decent fight.

Raven waited as the rest of the company loaded themselves into the bay of the Gunship before walking into the cockpit to talk to Kry. "Our destination is in the Warehouse District, number nine to be exact. We going to commandeer the landing pad of one of the nearby ones and move in from there." Turning on his heel as Kry took launched the Gauntlet into the air, he made his way back to the loading bay and began his mission briefing. "All right people the smugglers are operating out of a warehouse in the district. We going to borrow one of the nearby landing pads for a few hours and move in from the ground. If the workers give us any problems we'll detain them for the duration."

Pausing momentarily to consider the teams, he continued, "Were going to divide into four teams for this op. I'll be leading the first rush team with Santius, Qulana, and Terina. Lux you'll have team two with Dregger, Paladin and Korat. Once the infiltration team completes it's objective we'll move in and take the smugglers." Turning his attention to the remainder of the company, he went on, "Esten you'll take Ocara and Sal and infiltrate the compound. Make your way to the security room and deactivate all their security so we can move in. The rest of you will hang back and guard the Gauntlet. We'll also need someone to run a distraction."

 

[Chicago Ted]

Esten:

Esten glanced up at the mention of a distraction. He paused for a moment to think before looking at Raven.

"I'll create a distraction, Ocara can lead the Infiltration," he said as his eyes started to skim over the weapons on the racks on the side of the Gauntlet. "I work more efficiently by myself."

 

[axle 19]

Raven stared back at Esten before nodding. "Alright Esten will run the distraction then. Ocara you and Sal will run the infiltration. Be careful, the last thing we need is another fuck up in enemy territory."

 

[XxSummonerxX]

Wires sprinted up onto the Gauntlet. "Hmph, I noticed you're using HGNT-65 Stabilizers. Did you think of using JRNT-98s? They're lighter and for a ship of this size with this amount of passengers it's plenty sturdy. Fairly cheap too, I could buy them on my salary, even after buying all my wine." Babbled Wires.

"Erebus! Up boy!" Wires shouted. He quickly turned on his eyes to Santius. "If Santius is mean, you can sit on his lap! Ok boy?" Erebus barked at this and settled on Wires' lap. "Attaboy"

 

[Chicago Ted]

Esten:

"Alright Esten will run the distraction then. Ocara you and Sal will run the infiltration. Be careful, the last thing we need is another fuck up in enemy territory."

Esten's eyes honed onto Raven's and narrowed. His body locked when the words ?fuck up? came from his mouth, and a feeling of anger slowly crept over him.

Does he think I?m some lone incompetent recruit? I?ve been trained by the STG. I?ve been doing this for years. I?ve been doing it without mistake.

His face contorted slightly as his mind continued to race over these words. Every way he interpreted them, only put him more and more on edge. Soon though, his expression dropped back to a more distant gaze, as he played over his plans in his mind.

I?ll show him perfection.

 

[lemiel14n3]

If Paladin wondered whether or not Verahl was still upset with him, he was pretty confident now. As he looked over his soon to be team-mates, a feeling of slight dread crept through his system as he saw the three Reptiles that resembled nothing more than huge scaly bulls.

His mind started considering this new information. Well, screw developing tactics, one Krogan I can lead, a team, I can aim, at best. All right then, best bet, stay behind, center if possible, no need to pass up a good shield. And make sure they don't get too caught up in the fight and dance on my face. I could probably work as support, maybe watch the rear as the Krogan charge. Thank god for drunk bets on the ranch, I've ridden a bull, and I know the same principles apply when wrangling Krogan. "Dear god, I hope I don't have to do that again." he mumbled under his breath.

 

[Athol]

Guard duty he mused, oh boy I can't wait...heh. Not suprising though I am an unknown, that and I managed to annoy the boss PDQ. Bringing up his omni tool, he made himself a reminder to talk to Verahl after the mission.

Closing his eyes, and leaning against the shuttles bulkhead, John started to mentally prepare. Assuming this whole thing dosen't go pear shaped, this should be a cake walk...famous last words right?

 

[Viking Incognito]

"Hey Paladin," Dregger called out, "Don't worry, we probably won't leave you in the dust!" He chuckled to himself as he checked his weapons. The confined spaces would be difficult for three Krogan to share but they made a good opportunity to focus his biotic powers. Those shelves would make great cover once he had knocked them over. He just hoped he wouldn't break them.

 

[The Zango]

"You guys better just hope Me, Esten and Sal leave you any hostiles" joked Ocara, fixing a silencer to his sniper rifle, collapsing the stock and taking the high powered scope off of the weapon, effectively rendering it a large, silenced, one-shot pistol, that he returned to its sling on his back.

"I'm ready, I got a rough idea of a plan" said Ocara resolute, after a couple minutes of silence.

 

[XxSummonerxX]

"It took you that long to think of a plan? And you call me stupid", Wires chuckled. "I would have thought of a plan way quicker if I WERE ALLOWED TO DRINK, but I digress."

"All we know about the opponent is that they are smugglers, and they are at the location. We should split into at least three groups and maintain a good distance, but not so far so that we can't see each other." Wires had suddenly changed from the joking "lovable" drunk that he usually was into the hardened veteran mercenary that he really was.

"We should have a biotic in each squad, just in case. It also makes capturing enemies easier. Throw them against a wall, knock em out. I'd also recommend having a sniper group of at least two people placed nearby, preferably from a high vantage point. If we're fighting street to street we'll have to be careful. If one group gets to far ahead it will be to easy to get ambushed. Maintain uplink at all times, and synchronize your Omni-Tool frequencies." Said Wires slowly, making sure every word was taken in. "If we reach a possible ambush point, radio me, and I'll send Erebus to your location. He can flush em out fairly easily, and draw them into our own ambush."

Then, the stupid foolish grin spread across his face. "I think I earned my keep for this one, I might be allowed to drink when I get back eh?"

 

[The Zango]

"Thats cute, except Raven has already stated the plan and since he's the one thats been briefed and he's ranked, I think we should roll with that one" replied Ocara pointedly, his good eye closed and his head resting against the back of his chair. His headache was pounding now and the intense babbling of the new Salarian guy wasn't helping it.

"Besides, your plan doesn't seem to acknowledge their security systems. I don't know the specifics, but I'd guess mechs, turrets and some kind of lock-down protocol, all of which will fuck us if we aren't careful. Perhaps you should listen to the briefing in future, instead of petting that... Thing" finished the Sniper, content that he'd vented the stress he'd uncharacteristically been building up lately.

 

[Viking Incognito]

"That isn't bad. But there's one big problem. If there is only one biotic on each team then they become the biggest target. That's fine for me but all the others might not be able to handle it. If the group is too busy covering the biotic to move ahead then the whole plan comes apart. I'd suggest you stay sober a while longer."

Dregger looked around at his surprised shipmates and said "What? I didn't survive centuries of combat by being a stupid berzerker."
