The man was drinking from a steel mug. He took a long sip before resting it on the table.
"...can I help you?" Said the gruff low voice.
English
-
"Yeah...you have enough time to stay here and talk?" Velinnea bluntly said.
-
He looked up. The man was attractive with his edged features. He had high cheekbones, and a blond afternoon shadow across his face. He had a large roman nose and Hard eyes. "Don't plan on moving. So I s'pose so." He answered.
-
The clone leaned into his ear, before asking, "Do you happen to have any information about these little drug rings out here?" She leaned back to her chair, relaxing a little bit on it.
-
He took a long sip from his drink before replying. "You're playing a dangerous game, miss."
-
"Well, if that dangerous game involves money...I'm in. Why not; taking over the businesses is our specialty." Velinnea replied, a smug grin on her face. She had used sarcasm in an attempt to get information out of him.
-
"And if you were smart you'd know this ain't any business you've ever seen." He replied gruffly.
-
"Would you rather prefer a synthetic species with some of the most intelligent minds available devastate this business in the span of a week? Because it's going to happen if you don't give me what I need." She replies, stretching the truth of the Geth a small bit.
-
"Be my guest." He stated. "But you've already been spotted. They know you're here and why."
-
"But they don't know who I am. Not even knowing about what's out there. If they're smart...they'd run like hell." Velinnea whispered, getting out of her chair. She had her hands clutched on her suppressed M-11 pistol.
-
Some men around the room noticed the movement, and the atmosphere became uneasy. However the loner remained in his seat, calm. "Then best of luck to you." He said, taking a sip of his drink once more. "OH SHIT!" Yelled Alex from across the room, which was followed by a gunshot. As Vel looked, she saw him with his gun raised, and the bartender who crashed into his stock of beers with a new hole in his chest... And a pistol in hand. Alex turned around, and the entire saloon was quiet. The men looked to eachother, then to the two newcomers.... That's when all twenty of them stood up and pulled out their .32's and fired on the guests. Alex jumped behind the bar for cover....
-
The two quickly jumped behind the cover Alex was in. "Well, this went south pretty quickly!" Velinnea yelled over the sound of gunfire, firing a few shots of her pistol toward some of those who were shooting at them. "Combat Drone online, move to stun mode!" Valeria yelled, an orange orb of sorts shooting bolts of electricity toward some other people. The faint sound of a rifle is heard in the background.
-
The balls electrocuted a few men, but they began to throw up tables to use as cover. Alex shot through one of the tables, blowing a hole in it and sending one of the men into the ground. "What do you want me to say?! That asshat drew on me!"
-
"I know; just didn't expect it to get this bad!" Velinnea yelled over the gunfire, as she threw a thermal detonator toward a nearby table. The sound of the saloon door had opened, as the Geth Prime walked in, shooting its Pulse Rifle toward as many bandits as the robot could.
-
"Ya! Kick some ass C3PO!" Alex yelled out as he fired another round off. One of the dusters sprinted across the room with a double barrel, and was running towards the heroes position.
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/14/2017 12:07:27 AMValeria was waiting at the edge of the cover they were in, firing two rounds of her Eviscerator toward the duster, before the Geth Prime stepped over the dead bandits he had killed, looking for anything else it could identify as hostile.
-
Alex popped up from cover, and looked around. "Okay...I think we pulled off that well! But...Vel. Where the hell did that guy go? The one you were talking too?" [spoiler]sorry could I get their names in spoilers again? Just need to know who's who [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]The clone/ Mandalorian woman who talked to that one guy is Velinnea (or Vel) The Geth Prime who bursted through the saloon doors was "Peacekeeper" (or C3PO, as Deity called him.) The Alliance engineer who has a drone and shot that one guy with a shotgun was Valeria. [/spoiler] "I don't know. One minute, we were talking about bandits, the next, everyone was shooting each other." Vel replied, kneeling done on one of the corpses, inspecting it for anything useful. "All targets have been eliminated. No hostile activity within the perimeters of this complex." The Geth replied.
-
"Well. Looks like he knew what was coming. I didn't find out jack, besides the fact that this operation is probably a LOT bigger then we expected."
-
"Right...so what's our plan?" Valeria asked, reloading her shotgun. "They are not aware of the advancements the Geth have. They may also not be aware of our allies. We could use the element of surprise." Replied "Peacekeeper", checking the rounds of his pulse rifle.
-
"On what? Air? We don't know where they are located and this operation spans the entire continent! No. We need more info and I think we just shot our way out of getting any from this place. C'mon. We should get moving. There's another town about ten miles from here..."
-
"Right...unless maybe we could just use the [i]Deimos[/i]. It's a ship armed with Thanix Cannons, probes for scouting broadcast signals...oh and has an armory for ammo and such." Velinnea said, the Prime simply looking at Alex. "Or, we could follow Deity-Leader's order and head to the next town...although we may run into a similar scenario." The Prime replied, reloading his Pulse Rifle.
-
"No." Alex said to Vel's plan. "As soon as they see something like that in orbit they could go underground or migrate or anything else. They need to think they have the upper hand. Then, we're gunna cut their hand off! Let's move people!"
-
They all nod, following Deity to...wherever they were going.
-
The ensemble exited outside, where Alex immediately stopped. "Well shit..." Standing in front of the group were fifty men, all with their guns aimed at them. "Don't move an inch!" Cried on of the men.
-
*They all had their hands up...except Peacekeeper, which was seemingly looking curiously at the men...although it was really sending a distress message...but not to the Deimos...*
