Mass Effect RP: The Aegis Protection Firm

[Chicago Ted]

Sal's appearance immediatly drew Dray away from Moloa. When she turned back to the counter to talk with him again, she saw him scurrying to the other end of the counter that Sal sat down at. She shot a dirty look at his back as she got up to talk with either Raven or Lux.

Stupid brat. Probably has a damn temple made out to her somewhere around here.

Dray, hovered over Sal when he reached her. He held his hands behind his back as he leaned a bit closer to her with his wide, goofy smile.

"Oh, you didn't sleep well did you Sal? I can tell, you lose posture when you're tired, it's your tell. Just like those little, almost unnoticible nods you give whenever you're silently laughing behind your helmet. Anything you want me to do?"

His words shot out of his mouth like puppies rushing to the door to greet their owner's arrival. He was thrilled to see her and talk with her again even though she had only been asleep a few hours.

Sal looked up slowly and blinked at Dray for a moment, Then what he had said registered. "Oh, Uhh If you know of anything that I can drink that can help me stay awake, I'd appreciate it." She said with a small smile.

 

[Chicago Ted]

He shook his head violently from side to side several times. He did it so hard and so fast that it looked like he would have torn it off of his scrawny neck. Suddenly his head came to a sudden stop as his big black eyes stared back into Sal's mask.

"We don't. Will be picking some up today though. Verahl's allowing me to go out and pick up food and supplies for everyone. I'll have everything we need for supper!"

Spoiler: OoC

Oh, and Axle, I'm going to assume that you've opened the envelope that Verahl had on his desk that contained the instructions, addresses, etc. I'll PM you the contents now.

Also, just going to clarify something right now in terms of Dray's actions. Imagine every simple action Dray does, such as shaking or nodding his head, to be extremely exaggerated. In this case, just imagine someone whipping their head from side to side so fast it's essentially a blur to your eyes. That's what Dray is like.

Yossar woke up groggily, tapping his stomach as he remembered yesterday's meal. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he got dressed and walked into the common room.

"Well, if you could get some clothes," He requested from Dray, "most of mine are well, inaccesible, arson and what not."

When he sat down he looked around, "Verahl's gone, huh, I guess he's a hands off kind of boss."

 

[Chicago Ted]

"Normally organizes the jobs for us. Didn't come along with us that often when things were normal." Lux said as he continued doing push ups, trying to match and pass Esten's pace. "Then again, he normally would joke about being 'half retired' when reffering to the company. He's pretty old after all, almost too old to keep throwing himself in front of harms way."

Raven leaned against the counter as he took in the members of the company, his team. Verahl was taking a lot of the heat for them and he would make sure everything else went according to plan. "Rather than waiting for Basara to get his ass up, I might as well begin. Verahl has put me in charge of you guys when he isn't here and right now we have three things to take care of," he said looking at each of them in turn before deciding to continue.

Nodding towards Sal, "Sal your going to accompany Dray while he gathers supplies for us today. Make sure nothing happens to him while he travels through Omega." Turning his gaze to Santius, he went on "Santius, you, Basara, and Moloa will be handling our fallen." Handing Ver's first envelope to him, he continued "Your instructions are inside of it as well as the location you need to go to. Be very careful with them Santius." Finally he glanced at those that would be working directly with him.

"Lux, Ocara, Esten, and Yossar are coming with me to recon our previous base. The important thing is to make sure it is still there. If we are lucky enough then we might be able to salvage some of our stuff from it before the Blood Pack moves in on it. Now does anyone have any questions?"

 

[The Zango]

"Yeah I got a question, why didn't you wait for me?"

Ocara walked out of second bedroom rubbing his eyes and stretching, he bore his trademark smile and jovial tone however, so his words would not be construed as angry.

He took a seat on the couch and looked at Raven, nodding approvingly as he did so.

"Good, so finally we're getting outta here and fighting back then? Great!" he continued enthusiastically, the past couple of days (barring the excursion to Afterlife) had been pretty slow and Ocara feared for his aim due to the lack of a range.

"So assuming the HQ is still in one piece, its Lux, you and Yossar inside. Me and Esten providing cover or something else? Whatever you decide I'm behind you... Boss"

 

[sage42]

Sal nodded at hearing her assignment. "Gotcha, it'll be nice to get out of here," She said "[sub]Especially since I won't be getting drunk this time round.[/sub]" She mumbled to herself.

 

[Captainguy42]

"Sounds good, I look forward my first mission with you guys." Yossar said, "If you don't mind, could we go over the chain of command for this little venture? For my sake atleast."

Yossar adjusted himself, getting comfortable. He knew he had to make a good impression on this mission, to prove that he was competent to everyone else.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Lux and Esten both stopped their work outs to listen to Raven's announcements. Once he was done, they both nodded and continued as though nothing had disturbed them. The plan was simple enough for both of them to understand with just a quick summary. The details could wait until later.

Dray eagerly nodded at the knowledge of who was being sent with him. He was worried that he would have been sent with someone like Moloa or Santius, or even worse, Lux. More time to spend with Sal just meant more time for him to be happy.

Moloa wasn't so happy at the news though. Handling the fallen seemed to her to be the worst job to be forced into. Her mood and voice changed from her normal cheery one to one filled with cynicism and annoyance.

"What exactly do you mean by handle the fallen?"

 

[Captainguy42]

"Sounds alright," He told Santius, before getting up.

"I'm going to suit up and get ready." He left the room and went to his bed where his armor was waiting for him along with his guns. He put his armor on one piece at a time before turning to his guns. Making sure the safeties were on he handled them with care before putting them on his armor.

 

[The Zango]

"I most likely rank as a bit more expendable than the guy who collects our trash."

"Thats pretty optimistic of you Santius" jibbed Ocara jokingly as he exited the common room and entered the bedroom after Yossar to suit up and generally prepare himself.

The clicks of his armour connecting and sealing were music to his ears, the familiar sound ushering him into his calmer, 'mission-mode'. He slipped his pistols into their respective holsters and checked his knives.

Present.

Finally he picked up Nag, the weight and heft of the weapon helped smooth the transition even further. Rifle in hand he emerged from the doorway of the bedroom and leant against a nearby wall, he was ready and waiting.

Ocara hoped that he could carve another 'no-kill notch' into his cool barrel by the end of the mission.

If all hell broke loose however, he'd have no problem heating it up.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Spoiler: OoC

Dray doesn't hate Santius or anything, don't get that bit wrong, he just likes Sal to everyone else. He sees you as being too sarcastic and pessimistic, just like how he takes offence to Moloa's teasing, and Lux, well he just fears Lux. It's not something he's done, it's just how he acts.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Moloa snatched the envelope away from Santius and began to read the instructions inside of it. She frowned as she continued it and lowered it when she was finished. She crumpled the paper in her hand shoved it back into the envelope.

"Let's just get it done with," her frustration was apparent as she started to head back to her room to prepare for the mission.

 

[axle 19]

Raven shook his head at what Santius had said, "I wouldn't look to deep into it Santius. Just make sure that the mission gets done," he said as he walked out of the main to begin his own mission prep. It's a good thing that the others accepted my position and Dray seems happy about having Sal go with. Moving through his room, he grabbed his heavy pistol, shotgun, and Shredder before moving towards the case on his table. Things are starting to look up aren't they, he thought as he grabbed his bowie knife from the case. Giving his gear a final check, he made his way back to the main room.
