Jetta:
Only pain was keeping Jetta conscious now. Every time she inched forward, she could feel it piercing her. She couldn't tell how many of the shots had hit her. Had it been four or five? Could there have been a sixth? She couldn't tell where each wound was under the seering pain.
After what felt like hours of crawling along the alley floor, Jetta made it to the nearby dumpster. She turned around it, and propped herself up against the wall of it. As she held herself there, she slowly ran her hand down her shirt. As she lowered her hand, she could feel a set of distinct holes that had been dug into her. She pulled her hand back to see it covered in blood.
"Is this what they've let into Aegis now," she could hear the Krogan behind her proclaiming. He had been able to ambush herself and Qulana in an alley in Aegis territory. With him were at least two others, two Batarian from what she had seen.
The Batarians had followed them from the Elixir. Neither noticed until they passed a few streets, and saw that they were still behind them. Both shrugged it off as nothing more then a couple thugs, looking to make a score off of a couple unaware club goers. It was something that both knew they could handle. A flash of Biotics or a weapon was normally enough to scare them away. They continued to lead them on a few more streets, before ducking into a nearby alley. Each drew their weapon and waited for the Batarians to turn the corner on them, deciding it'd be better to get the jump on them first. After a few minutes of waiting though, neither had appeared. As they readied themselves to leave, thinking that they must have just lost track of them, a machine gun blared out from the opposite end of the alley.
"What was that?" the Krogan mockingly asked. Jetta didn't know what was going on anymore. "Speak up; I can hardly hear you over the noise you make when you're choking on your own blood."
"Who, who are you?" Qulana meekly said. She must still have been laying in the alley with the Krogan nearby her.
"Someone your boss shouldn't have pissed off," the Krogan said. Suddenly, a sickening crack was heard, as the rest of the alley fell into silence.
Knowing she hadn't much time left, Jetta did the only thing that came to mind. She opened her Comms, broadcasting on an emergency channel open to every member of Aegis.
"I'm hurt," she winced. "I'm hurt real bad. We were ambushed. Krogan and Batarians. We thought---"
Suddenly, the shape of the Krogan loomed over her, looking down on her crippled beneath him. Jetta tried to raise her pistol, but had it ripped away from her. The Krogan then grabbed her by the throat, and slammed her into the wall nearby. She could be heard cringing in pain, before the sounds of her gasping for breath echoed over the Comms. Holding her still, with his free hand, the Krogan plucked the headset from her ear, and lifted it to his mouth.
"I hope she made the channel open to you Verahl," the Krogan said, before letting go of a malicious and satisfied laugh. "I'm really disappointed in the new recruits you have here. They didn't even realize I was there until it was too late. When a Krogan is able to sneak up on you, even I'm a bit surprised."
The Krogan tightened his grip on Jetta's throat as he continued. She could still be heard in the background of his speech.
"So, I'll set the stage for you Verahl," the Krogan said. "You wronged me. Made me look like a fool. Then, you had your lackey remove me get me out of your sight. You do make a good lap dog though Lux, I wonder, you missing a few from your quad? Doubt I've seen a Krogan so whipped before. I told you I'd be back to take revenge on you. Did you think I'd just die off on the backs of these streets somewhere? I found a new, more powerful company. One which recognized immediately what they had in their ranks. We'll be coming for you, and Aegis, one by one, until there's nothing left. And then, I'll be sure to take your Revenant from your dead hands as a trophy to my success."
The Krogan dropped Jetta to the ground as he said this, and reached for his pistol with his freed hand. A final shot was heard over the Comms as the Krogan said his final words.
"I'll have you soon. Meer out."
