[b]Ghost peered out the window, examining the ship closer[/b]
English
-
In bold letters on the side of the ship, the words [b]NORMANDY[/b] could be seen clearly on it, as it was somewhat being heavily repaired. Closer inspection showed upgraded armor, technology, and the Alliance symbol proudly displayed on the ship.
-
Ghost: "Quite the vessel that Normandy. Even though it isn't the original."
-
"Yeah. Heard their old pilot and the AI still are there. Strange couple, they seem to be. A guy with Vrolik's Syndrome and a female AI..." Vel had said, as they had landed in their own hangar.
-
Scorch: "Wait... Couple?" [b]The Hunter snorted, laughing slightly [/b]
-
"What? It's just an AI and some guy with brittle bones together. Not like she's going to probe him or something." She responds, trying to stifle her own laugh.
-
Ghost: "You two are so rude..." Scorch: "You can't deny it's not weird..." Ghost: "Well... Maybe just a little."
-
They had gotten off the Deimos, the sight of different species mingling being clearly prominent within the area, whether it was an arguing elcor couple, or a bunch of humans, turian's, and asari all having a drink while the ANN (Alliance News Network) was on, rambling about the recent events that had gone on.
-
[b]Ghost took a listen on the news. Listening for any previous jobs he had taken part in.[/b] [spoiler]-Report the Blackwatch teams seizing a Eclipse ship with assistance from the Invictus -Report Capture of Cheryl Minx with help of Invictus -Report forged alliance between Batarians and Alliance due to Invictus crew - REPORT SOMETHING ELSE?? Not a game changing choice. More of a side thing [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Gotcha. [/spoiler] A male reporter was there, saying..."And recently, in the news, the Laliance seems to be completely after the newly revitalized Cerberus, which had involved defending both Demeter and Horizon from further attacks. As well, Alliance and mercenary operatives are to thank to stop a Batarian attack on the human colony of Terra Nova (the humans cheered at that statement), although the Alliance wishes to keep those involved private until further notice. Stay tuned for further updates." It then went to a commercial for Blasto 15: Blasto Saves the Council.
-
Ghost: "You hear that, Scorch? People actually care about the Mercs that fight for them." Scorch: "They cheered. How much does that mean?" [spoiler]+5 Ghost Confidence. Confidence are stats that obtainable by either Ghost or Noble. The one with more Confidence will ultimately be the one calling the shots for the crew (Which will expand, much like yours) further down in the plot [/spoiler]
-
"A lot. Mercs rarely help the Alliance, much less save people at THAT level" Vel had replied, looking at the people.
-
Scorch: "Huh... We're Mercs?" Ghost: "The good kind. With a code. But yeah, down to the foundation we're Mercs."
-
"Yeah. Come on; we'll have to go down to the Wards to get to the apartment." She says, motioning them toward a shuttle they could take.
-
Scorch: "Yes ma'am..." [b]The two entered the shuttle she had gestured at. [/b]
-
*The shuttle proceeded to make its way out of the Presidium and began to head deep into Legion Ward, hundreds of other shuttles passing by them. Casinos, markets,and shops lined the Citadel's Wards as they made their way there.*
-
Ghost: "What if someone recognizes us, tries getting an autograph?" Scorch: "No one's seen us on camera yet. I'd like it to stay that way Too..." Ghost: "Why's that?" Scorch: "Boss, we're a Merc crew. At some point, we'll take a job that may just be in the Grey area. When that happens, you'll see what people really think."
-
"Only person they've been able to get on camera is Jack Cooper. And that's because he went to Alliance HQ to get the quarians and turians to help us." She replies, veering the shuttle left toward their apartment.
-
Scorch: "See? We're safe!" Ghost: "Yeah..."
-
[spoiler]Think of the apartment as similar to Anderson/Shepard's apartment in ME3 Citadel DLC...[/spoiler] Stopping in a nearby mall strip, the three landed themselves on the edge of the strip, watching as different volus, elcor, Asari, turians, and humans mingled with one another. "The apartment is this way." She responds, motioning the group through the crowds.
-
[b]The Mandalorian and the Hunter followed her through the crowds, pushing through the people [/b]
-
This earned annoyed looks from some of those that they pushed, but nothing beyond such. Eventually, they arrived at the elevator, which Vel had pushed the button to one of the top floors. Once again, the commercial for Blasto 15 blasted into the ears of the people aboard said elevator.
-
Scorch: "Is it always this Jam packed??"
-
"Merrick said it usually was, specially during holidays." She says, as they kept moving up floors.
-
Ghost: "I wasn't aware today was a holiday. Is it?"
-
"It's the elcor's version of Christmas, some volus Independence Day, and the anniversary of the founding of Taetrus for the turians." Vel explained.
