"We might want to limit how many people we get involved, once 4-6 is out of the way that'll leave a power vacuum in that district. If two many people get involved there could be a battle to take control once it's gone. If I might suggest, don't ask for help from any of the neighboring districts they would be the first who would want to expand into it."

I have a question, does the Aegis district have a name? And does the 4-6 district have one to?

Verahl:

"We might want to limit how many people we get involved, once 4-6 is out of the way that'll leave a power vacuum in that district. If two many people get involved there could be a battle to take control once it's gone. If I might suggest, don't ask for help from any of the neighboring districts they would be the first who would want to expand into it."

Verahl heard Yossar as he continued to leave, but didn't respond. He was certain events were already be in motion from the other district leaders to deal with the 4-6 out though. It was the risk though, you couldn't claim it as your own without getting in someone else's way.

Lux:

"This whole damn station is stuck in a power vacuum already Yossar," Lux bluntly said as he walked towards the kitchen. "We'll probably wind up fighting everyone around us at some point anyways."

OoC said:
Sorry, forgot to respond to that question Captain. At the moment, no, the districts don't have official names. I'll work on that though.

" Not entirely Santius, if we foul this up we could lose everything as our rivals rush in to take the 4-6's territory once they're done for. If that happens we could get caught in the cross fire easily. Doing this so that doesn't happen will be hard, but if we accomplish that we could gain a lot. For instance I doubt those refugee's upstairs would hate it if they're saviors took over their districts protection, it would also reastablish the Aegis after what has been happening recently."

Ya, I feel like the only thing left to do is for Verahl to say the final plan and to then cut to us getting on the Gauntlet.

Ocara weaved through the semi-crowded Omega streets, since it was afternoon, there was hardly anyone out and the deserted streets almost made the place seem liveable... Almost.

After watching over them restlessly for a few hours, he had left Thayna in charge of the refugee's, giving her a quick explanation to cover for his absence, it didn't matter, she would know all about it soon enough, they all would. He had seen no reason to tell the company about it before, but now it was tied up with business and the company would need to know, perhaps it could give them a greater idea of 4-6's reach and possibly even provide them with an upper-hand?

He ceased those thoughts for a moment, wanting to focus on the job at hand and so, as he arrived outside of the small bar once more, he took a deep breath to calm his nerves and entered.

As usual the inside was a small room with dark red walls and a light that didn't seemed to be used for decoration, rather than an actual source of illumination, due to its constant flickering when it decided to work.

The room was barley big enough for the tables and the three booths that sat in its corners, making the place seem cosy and even intimate. On the left was a large bar, its surface would normally have various small bowls of snacks for the many races that frequented the bar, but right now the only snack that he could see were some Human peanuts.

Not a good sign.

Another bad sign was the distinct lack of non-Humans in the bar, usually an old Turian would sit in the far booth, telling stories of the first contact war to all that would listen, eventually drowning himself in booze before he really got on peoples nerves. But today it was different, only Humans sat at the tables and booths, all of them staring right at him.

Ocara was not worried however, having just come from HQ, he had not had time to un-arm and so, he still wore his full combat gear, making him an intimidating target for any would-be bigots.

"OC! I wasn't expecting to see you until later!" said a cheery voice from the open door behind the bar and a few moments later a cheery face appeared in the space, followed by a very nice body... For a Human.

She practically vaulted the bar and ran to Ocara, before giving him a long embrace, stepping back once they were done and looking at his face, concern in her eyes but a warm smile on her perfect face.

He smiled back at her as he spoke, not wanting to worry her.

"Lexi...We need to talk"

The bar suddenly fell silent, as the eyes of every patron in the bar locked onto them. Some bore looks of sadness, while others of anger. Murmurs started around the room as the patrons gossiped about what might happen to him.

From one of the booths nearby, a human rose. At his table sat another friend that now had his hand rested awkwardly at his hip under the table. The other walked towards Ocara, angered by his presence.

"The fuck are you doing here, Turian? Your type isn't tolerated here."

The human paused though when he got closer, stopping and placing his hand on his pistol's holster. He was staring at Ocara, looking him up and down, recognizing the colour patterns of his armor.

"Lexi, step the fuck away from this one," he threatened. "That Batarian send you here?!"

The other human now rose from the table, and started to move to the opposite side of the bar. Ocara could now see that his hand also rested on another holstered pistol.

As Ocara turned to face the Human, he cracked his neck slightly and used his other arm to move Lexi away from him slightly, if anything went down, he certainly didn't want Lexi getting hit.

He looked the Human in the eye, his posture was non-threatening, but his eyes were cold and he hoped that would be enough to get the Humans to back off, somehow he didn't think it would work, these guys didn't seem the type to back off, even when faced with a fully armed, armoured and experienced looking Turian.

"Hey now, I'm not trying to start anything, why don't you sit down and yall can have a round on me, alright?" he said, his heart racing, but his composure cool and reserved, he was not the kind of guy that started fights, he only finished them.

" Well Verahl, if were set on this, then I can go upstairs and tell the refuges the news." Yossar excused himself as he got up and began walking upstairs.

"Oh and three more things should I tell them they can't stay here, should I say we're doing this pro bono or not, and should I ask if there are any of them willing to fight?" He asked, stopping on the second stair and looking back.

"Not trying to start anything? Then why the fuck did you come here?!" the human yelled, starting to get more aggitated by the second.

The human screaming started to move towards Ocara. Each step he took was slow and certain, as his eyes stayed on the Turian to analyze even his slightest movements. The other approached the bar counter and climbed across it, placing it in between himself and Ocara.

"Now I'll ask you once again you bird brained piece of shit, why did the Batarian send you here?!"

Verahl:

Verahl looked down from the top of the stairs towards Yossar.

"Tell them we aren't doing it, and tell them they can stay for a while longer. Have Liz look into some housing for them in this district as well."

He turned back and passed by Ocara and Thayna as he walked into his office. As the doors shut behind him, he sat down in his chair, and opened up his list of contacts, browsing through for any other leaders that might want to strike the 4-6 down.

And just to make sure we don't get confused, there are two time lines occuring at the moment. One with Verahl and you at the base, and another a few hours later, at the beginning of the evening, with Ocara in the bar.

This guy wasn't going to back down, that was for sure. Some people just would not guess the message and tonight Ocara had drawn the short straw, it was time for action.

He noticed that the human was studying his posture closely, hoping to anticipate any moves he might make against him and while that might help against an untrained opponent, the technique wouldn't work against a Turian with training provided by the galaxies best military.

His face hardened and he shifted his weight to his rear leg, making it appear that he was posturing up for a kick.

The Human took the bait, his eyes snapped to Ocara's leg and he began to prepare for a counter.

'Oops, little mistake there'

While he was shifting the weight onto his back leg, he continued past the point that it could just be a mere kick and began to swivel his hips left and towards the Human, all too fast for the poor Human to recover from his failure and block the tooth-shatteringly hard punch that slammed into his face, the force amplified by his swivelling hip.

As the first Human dealt with the impact of a gauntleted fist smash into his face, Ocara noticed the other had conjured a pistol and was rapidly drawing a bead on his torso.

He dove backwards and the round tore into his shields, evaporating into nothing as he continued his fall, going into a roll at the end and coming up to a kneel, the bar separating him and his new shooting buddy.

He drew his own pistol and prepared himself, it appeared that the situation had just turned ugly.

The human fell from the blow, but scrambled on the floor before he even hit the ground. Blood was gushing from his nose as he tried to make it behind one of the booths for cover.

The other ran to the end of the bar Ocara was on, still behind the counter, ready to come over it and finish him. An occasional round hit the top of the counter as he tried to suppress Ocara as he approached.

Everyone else in the bar immediately took cover. Some simply covered their heads while ducking close to their tables, while others dove under to try and avoid the firefight.

The Humans were slowly closing in on him and if he didn't move soon, he'd be in trouble.

He steeled himself with another deep breath and he rolled right, through the suppressing fire and into one the empty booth beside him.

On the way he had taken a couple of impacts, two had been dealt with by his shield, but the third had penetrated and had smacked into his armour,embedding itself just below one of his chest flanges.

He poked his arm over the seat and began to return fire semi-accurately on his foes, having switched his eye to FLIR just before he rolled, he could now make out the blurry shapes of the Humans from behind the booth, allowing him to return some relatively decent shots at the blobs of heat he could make out.

Another round tore through his shields and grazed his arm, but he kept firing, hoping that he could nail his opponents and talk to Lexi, this was important.

The human in the booths ducked as Ocara began to shoot at him. He took a moment to reload, as the one behind the bar tried to move and flank him. He didn't even see the front doors open.

As he came around, almost ready to make his final few shots on Ocara, a loud and sudden boom was heard in the bar. His head split open, and stained the bottles behind him before his body collapsed onto the floor.. The other human watched as this happened, stood up, and started firing wildly at the corners of the bar.

The newcomer had taken his attackers attention off of Ocara for a moment and he decided to utilise his new-found freedom. He tapped a button on his omni-tool and then he was gone, his armours cloaking ability was now engaged and he was practically invisible.

Without hesitating, he vaulted the chair and ran towards the no terrified Human, before de-cloaking not a foot away from him, in time for the Humans eyes to bulge as he saw Ocara bear down upon him with the knife.

Once the last opponent was done, Ocara began to call out for Lexi, not worrying about the identity of his unknown helper, seeing as he already had a pretty goo idea who it was.

Yossar went upstairs and found the Turian who he had talked to before, talking to a very distressed Salarian.

"We've come to a decision, can I talk to you away from everyone else." The Turian looked at him warily, but then got up. Yossar led him just outside, not too far but out of earshot.

"Verahl has come to a decision, you are welcome to stay for a while as you find people to stay with and new homes." Yossar said, deciding to wait and see if the Turian would ask about their decision concerning 4-6.

Basara's at the base at the moment, unless you do something with him. Only Ocara is out at the bar right now. You can do what you want though, I don't really mind as long if you explain your actions. Big has cleared most of this through me already, and this is part of a plot I have working with his character at the moment that we developed a while back. Don't be afraid to come up with your own.

Esten:

Esten lowered his cloaks as the bar's patrons quickly ran out into the street away from the bar. He stood silently in the centre of the remaining chaos. Tables had been flipped, bottles broken, and blood spilled.

Unacceptable.

He glared at Ocara. The limited warmth they used to hold to him had now been extinguished, and replaced with cold distance and contempt.
