"You the cowboy?"
[i] One of the three people asked, his voice metallic like it was coming through a mask. None of their details could be made out with the cloaks and hoods, but they just..felt dangerous. [/i]
English
-
[i]"Take a guess," said JT as he looked over the trio's apparel and armaments. Two men in black cloaks and a woman, he would need to be staying at a fair distance to draw his only gun if they tried anything. [/i]
-
[i] The one that spoke chuckled, a happy sound, like he did it a lot.[/i] "I like this guy already." [i] They all shrugged their cloaks off and dropped them to the floor. Once they hit though, they burst into wispy shadows and darkness that dissipated into the air. A very Lance-like action.. The one who'd spoken was dressed in a sleeveless leather vest, with pants matching, leather straps and buckles on the thighs. [url=https://imgur.com/a/LOAR8]He[/url] wore a mask that covered his face, simple with glowing red eyes. His bare, muscled arms were decorated with lines of tattoos, no distinguishable design. He was short though, only around 5'8", more comparable to the girl rather than the male. The one on the other end was male, but that's all that could be deciphered from the armor [url=https://imgur.com/a/louFR]he [/url] was wearing. Form fitting and detailed, it gave him a muscled physique. Random orange and blue lights were glowing around his body, and the helmet he wore was blank except for an orange vertical slit on it. A sword, and a pistol were at his hips, very sci-fi looking and simple. The middle and final one, was indeed a girl, and beautiful. Flawless, tanned skin and long, flowing blonde hair. She had ample curves, but nothing ridiculous. The most interesting thing though.. was at least half of her was bionic. [url=https://imgur.com/a/xWySn]Her[/url] right arm and leg were replaced with metal augments that were master works of craftsmanship, JT could tell. Sleek and glossy black. JT's keen eye for synthetic body parts could also see her left forearm was synthetic, and so was most of her face, including her eyes. [/i]
-
[i]"No..." JT saw the shadows and the armour as a threat. Nobody wore armour to the Clinic if they wished to get augmented, and with his status as affiliated to Extryte forces, he snapped his right hand back as it folded around his forearm and a black blade shot out, about two feet long and razor sharp. He outstretched the tip towards the girl and looked at either of the three, and due to his draw time and practice, his hands were nearly untraceable. "If Lance sent you to kill me, tell him I'll see him in hell." [/i]
-
[i] None of them even so much as flinched, but the one with glowing red eyes chuckled.[/i] "Don't worry about Mr. May, he didn't send us. We've been told you were the man to come to for weaponized augments. So tada." [i] He said, waving his hand at the girl in the middle.[/i] "Our friend here had an unfortunate accident, and our employers aren't in the business of biological weapons." "I had the skin seared from my bones, and the right half of my body detached from the rest of my torso. It wasn't an "unfortunate accident," Revenant. It was an atrocity." [i] The girl said, not even flinching at the blade near her face, turning her attention to JT.[/i] "Whatever the price, we can afford it."
-
[spoiler]I advise not being as cocky with them. JT will actually assault if they make any moves against him, just a heads up. [/spoiler] [i]JT thought for a moment, without lowering the blade even for a mere second, as he considered what to do. They weren't the type he would trust, and despite knowing he had the capacity to take them on, he refrained from combat. "Bring her to the second augmenting chamber. Now."[/i] [spoiler]And let me just clear something up: In the fight with Lance, I had to go easy on you, as everyone does for testing. JT has since received numerous upgrades and I will not hesitate to actually do combat if anything happens. [/spoiler]
-
[i] The one the girl called Revenant shrugged and began walking, her following in line, and the other man bringing up the rear. They came to the door, and while the girl stepped inside, Revenant and the other one stayed outside. Revenant must have noticed something, because he spoke to his companion.[/i] "Easy, Ghost. She'll be okay." [i] The second man, now acknowledged as Ghost, doesn't say anything to Revenant but looks at JT and speaks through the mask for the first time, his voice a ghostly whisper.[/i] "If she comes out anything other than okay, I will kill you." [spoiler]Dont take that as threatening, just him being him. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I know. JT doesn't. [/spoiler] [i]"Touch me and I'll beat you to death with your boyfriend's legs," JT said as he quite literally meant his words. He had done stuff like that before. He led them to the second augmenting chamber and patted a steel bed in the centre of the room. "What'll it be today, ma'am?" [/i]
-
[i]The two men stayed outside, Revenant bursting into laughter. [/i] "Thats pretty funny. I like him." [i] Ghost said nothing, leaning against the doorframe of the closed door.[/i] ~~~ "Whatever you'd give someone who wants to be a living, revenge fueled weapon. Arms, leg, eyes, everything." [i] She says plainly, glancing at him up and down. [/i]
-
[i]"What limbs do you need worked on? I can make you from a perfectly normal human again to a weapon of war with your brain in a jar." [/i]
-
"I'd rather still be semi-human, at the very least." [i] The way she said it indicated she was obviously disgusted with the fact she had augmented limbs. [/i] "The metal arm and leg, my left forearm, and my eyes."
-
[i]"Fine, racist. Lay down." [/i]
-
[i] She does as indicated, resting her arms at her sides and eyes on the ceiling. The sooner she could be done with this, the sooner she could get back to plotting her vengeance on the one who'd done this to her. [/i]
-
[i]The Techno-Cowboy got to work on his job of augmenting the stranger, as a black wave of nanomachines swarmed over a mask, bringing it over to Eve as it was placed over her mouth. Soon her vision faded, and she drifted off into a miasma-induced sleep brought on by anaesthetics. When she awoke two and a half hours later, the Marshal had been done for a few minutes and the mask was removed when he did, the spare anaesthesia in her system keeping her asleep for a couple of moments. He was washing his tools, and as Eve awoke, she had noticeable changes to her body. The synthetic and real limbs looked completely identical on the surface, her skin squishy and hot as the other arms were, with the same colour due to her internal heat and the skin being replaced with a layer of shock absorbing gel beneath a rubberized coating of skin. [/i]
-
[i] She blinked a few times, sitting up and looking down at her previously metal limbs, now not being able to tell the difference between the real and fake ones. Her face didn't betray it, and she'd never say so..but it was impressive. [/i]
-
[i]"Since your comrades said money ain't an issue, I'll trust y'all. If your people lied, I'll reclaim your augs. Thirty five grand." [/i]
-
"What'd you do?" [i] She questions, not so much as flinching at the number. Obviously they'd been serious.[/i]
-
[i]Soon her HuD flashed as data was transmitted manually, giving her a complete list of the augs I PM'ed you. [/i]
-
[i] She blinked, the fact that she had a HUD now was slightly disorienting. Running through the list of them, she flexed her different limbs, deploying the weapons and putting them away. [/i] "They weren't joking..you are good." [i] A compliment, probably the only one he'd get from her. [/i]
-
[i]"Thank you. Now, get out of the chambers please." [/i]
