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.
-
Scorch: "Great. So now we have to deal with an assassin, the council, and all the people that are here? Please tell me we at least have access to see the council. Maybe their security? So that we actually do our fúcking jobs?"
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 3/22/2017 6:15:33 PM"Probably. The Turian Councilor is the only one who believes us; he'll get us access to their security." She says, as the doors open, revealing a (apartment similar to Commander Shepard's apartment) except that the walls were darker, and had an additional bedroom and bathroom.
-
Ghost: "Quaint..." Scorch: "This should do nicely..." [b]Scorched looked around, seeing it more as a bachelor pad [/b]
-
"Can't exactly blame ya for liking the place; they poured every penny into this place...that wasn't from mercenary jobs." She had said, looking for the bedroom she'd temporary sleep in.
-
Scorch: "Wooooow... You really gonna play that card?" Ghost: "She already has." [b]Ghost patted Scorch's back, and walked into the kitchen while the Hunter looked at Vel [/b] Scorch: "Rude..." [b]He walked away, headed for a second room [/b]
-
She winks back toward Scorch as she saw the massive bedroom with a datapad lying on the bed. She picks it up and hits a button, an audio recording from Silsia playing. "Hey, Vel...heard you're going to the Citadel for a few days with Ghost and the Invictus guys. Hell, it happened right in front of me. You can be willing to use the apartment Merrick and I planned to use for our honeymoon..." Silsia explained, earning a long sigh from Merrick, which could be heard in the background. "We've reoutfitted the Deimos for you guys, and we've made sure you guys got a place to stay. Any credits you spend on the Citadel is yours. Try not to take down the place, Vel. See ya back on Tatakai!" The asari had said, before the audio recording ended. Vel chuckled as she laid on the bed.

[b]Ghost dug around through the fridge, trying to determine if there was anything worthwhile. Scorch jumped onto his own bed, knocking out instantly [/b] [spoiler]Timeskip or something?[/spoiler]
