Mass Effect RP: The Aegis Protection Firm

[Chicago Ted]

Moloa and Lux scrambled out of their rooms. Moloa quickly grabbed something off the kitchen counter, and started to eat it as she ran up the stairs. She had her pistol and SMG already holstered and ready. Lux on the other hand was hopping on one foot, trying to stay behind her as he was putting one of his boots on.

Mayli came up the stairs, with weapons in her hands. She placed them by the stairway leading up.

"I have know idea who's is who's but grab whichever ones you own. I sure hope this is damn important enough for Verahl to start yelling at me to help out."

Lux finally got his boot adjusted, and grabbed a shotgun and a shredder from the pile. He quickly holstered them and ran up the stairs, trying to catch up with Moloa.

Ocara sprang out of bed with a start and had his pistol raised and pointed at the door when he realised where he was and who was shouting. He quickly got dressed, grabbed his gear from his footlocker and ran out into the common room to see everyone hurriedly preparing there gear and running up the stairs. "Yep this is just the thing i need a surprise mission and severe sleep deprivation." he said as he began to follow the rest of the company upstairs towards the transport

Sorry i wasnt on yesterday i was writing my post when a virus or somthing took hold of my pc but anyways Ted you are doing a great job and even though i lack forum RP experience i can say that without a shadow of doubt

 

[Chicago Ted]

No problem Big. I want commitment but I can understand that people won't be able to commit 100% of the time. It's completely understandable, don't worry at all about it.

Oh, and don't worry about the lack of experience. I think that both you and I are examples that even people who are new to this can do a good job.

Ver stopped and stood on the stairs for a second. He heard what Santius said, but it took a minute for it to click with him.

"Oh sure Santius, stay back, rest your head, ask Dray to make you a glass of nice warm milk. Think the Pack are going to wait until you feel better though? Think they'll wait for you if they start coming at us? We'll talk later. Get your gear and move out now."

Verahl wasn't in the mood to hear any of Santius's disapproval or his excuses. They needed to get a move on immediatly if they would make the the extraction in time.

"Calm down Santius, Ver wouldn't order us out like this unless it was a high value target so calm down we are already stressed from yesterday. The last thing we need is to be at each others throats." Raven hated playing peacemaker but if no one else wanted to he would help defuse the situation.

 

[Chicago Ted]

"The remains of Apex Company. I have no idea how, but Pack found their location. Got a call from Esten a few minutes ago explaining this. They attacked middle of the night, and took the whole company by surprise. Only Esten and one of his comrades made it out of their alive," Verahl said as the company were now starting to board onto the transport. "They were able to escape from their headquarters. They moved a few levels away, and are now holed up in a hotel in a housing district. We're going to land as close as we can, and extract them."

The company took their seats in the cargo bay of the transport, as Verahl gripped onto the railing and stood in the centre.

"Now, any questions?"

 

[axle 19]

"We wouldn't be going if we did not seek the survivors. Let's lock and load people," Raven spoke as he cocked the lever back on his Shredder and moved into a standing position.

 

[Chicago Ted]

"Raven's right, they are alive. To repeat, we're extracting two people, Esten and his partner. I'm confident they would have been smart enough to find a secure position before contacting us for an extraction, but none the less, be ready for any ambushes or an attack."

Verahl opened a crate in the centre of the cargo bay. Inside were a vareity of small arms.

"When we land we're going to split off into two groups. First group stays back with the Gauntlet, ensuring that she remains secure. The second will move towards the hotel and extract the two from their room and protect them as we move back to the transport. If we encounter anything, it'll probably be in close quarters fighting. Me, Lux, Raven and Sal will be group B. That means the rest of you, Moloa, Santius, and Ocara, will be guarding the Gauntlet. Anyone want to switch around their kit, do so now." he paused for a moment, quickly letting the company be able to process what they were just told. "Now again, any more questions?"

 

[axle 19]

"Exactly kid. Ver how are we going to do this? Fast and precise or slow and messy to kill as many pack as possible?"

 

[Chicago Ted]

"Fast and precise. We don't know their numbers, but hopefully we won't run into any. Any we do find however will need to be taken out. I don't want them finding the transport or anything they might be able to trace back to us or the headquarters."

 

[axle 19]

Raven moved toward the cargo door, "How far out are we from our target?"

 

[Chicago Ted]

Verahl checked his Omin-Tool.

"Four minute ETA now. Sit tight and get ready."

The four minutes passed quickly, and the transport landed in a parking lot they found a couple blocks away from the hotel. Verahl got out as the company split to their designated positions.

Verahl, Sal, Lux, and Raven made it to the hotel without incident. They remained vigilant of anyone out of the oridnary, but didn't encounter any Krogan or Vorcha wearing Blood Pack uniforms. I didn't mean that there weren't any though, as everyone stayed sharp.

Upon reaching the hotel, they realized how bad it looked from the outside. It had multiple lights burnt out on it and was in a state of utter disrepair. They went inside the lobby, and discovered that in this case, the cover was enough to judge by. The inside had a horrid stench to it, as pipes lay exposed, and graffiti lined covered the walls. There were old worn chairs in the corner and a desk in horrible quality sitting in the middle of the room. Behind the desk sat a human woman, covered from head to toe in a variety of colourful tattoos. She took no notice to them as the company walked down the hall. Verahl counted the numbers on the doors, before stopping in front of the one labeled, D17.

"This is it, let's hope we don't find bodies."

Verahl knocked on the door, and yelled at it.

"Esten?"

Some noise was heard behind the door, and it slowly swung open. Esten stood behind it with an SMG drawn ready.

"Good, you showed up."

Esten opened the door fully now. His face now sported a few new untreated wounds sitting overtop a layer of bandages he had gotten fixed from the crash.

"We must be moving now."

He walked over to the corner of the room, where a Sniper Rifle lay propped against the wall. As he crossed, he walked with a small, but noticable limp, as he tried to keep weight off his right leg.

A man was also present in the room. He sat in the corner, silently as the company entered. He held a shotgun in his hands and watched each of their movements carefully.

"Meet Basara. Basara, Aegis. Aegis, Basara."

 

[Xero Scythe]

Basara nodded his head in acknowledgement as the company filed in. There was a dead Batarian at his feet, the windpipe ripped out of the throat. It had obviously been dragged there, judging by the bloodtrail that started right at the door. Basara's left hand then moved forward and gleamed in the light. From the elbow down, his arm was covered in a midnight-black metal. Spikes shot out of the forearm and the fingers ended in monstrous claws. the claws were stained with blood. This apparently was what did in the Batarian. "Poor son of a ***** came in right as I was changing Esten's dressings. No time to grab a weapon. Guy drowned in his own blood." He said while pointing to the Batarian in question. He sighed and put away the shotgun. "Anyway, you guys I presume are Aegis?"

 

[sage42]

"That we are." Sal said nodding, not bothering to put away her SMG. "I'm Sal. I'd give you my full name but seeing as the Pack is after you two right now, I think we should get going, Your call boss." She said to Ver.

 

[axle 19]

Raven continued watching the door for any signs that they had been followed. He glanced briefly back at Basara,"I'm Raven." Returning his gaze to the front he said, "Ver the exit is all clear when your ready to move out."
