She looked about for cover as she strained t hear the sound of the automatic weapon. was is the lighter more rapid army based squad automatic weaponry or the heavier former soviet block based heavier rounds.
"damn it... i cant tell if thats friendly army fire or more mercs... or worse. Lets move people keep your heads and eyes up."
Her ears twitched this was already going a bit sideways. military teams already inside and possible failed extra survivors, the god damned tit numbing cold. Her left ear twitched twice as hard. She saw warren crouch ever so slightly and begin to creep forward. good a point man. "Alright team, Warren take point, Mnajit your right behind him. lets move deeper inside. we are on a time hack people we need to get what we came for here. Everyone keep an eye out for that team. Wrath your with The White Queen. Shes the key to this mission. Keep her safe. Lets move people." She snapped a big bubble and drew an arrow to her bow following behind Warren and Manjit.
She took the mask with a huge frown. She didnt like the fact the others would be in danger if she took the mask but the deckers point was solid. She wasnt entirely sure what she could do against ingested poisons in the air, but she sould try. one of her spells 'had' an effect to help that she just hadnt really used it that way before. "Lets roll boys and girl we are on a time hack.... also im not driving... i dont really know how. so lets go." He clambered in the back of the truck.
"Which way is the entrance?" She called to the driver through the wind. She refused to wrap her arms around herself she could only imagine how cold the boys must be. it was best to get inside as soon as possible. She drew out her bow knocking an wrrow only partially shaking as the wind whipped through her jacket like she wasnt wearing anything.
the cab: "I see the way you keep sideeying me... im not her. so just get over it."
SHe growled at the soldier. "Some sort of magical defense system a curse no doubt. Shamenistic magic.... not my speciality but Ive read a book or two. I will do what i can to minimize the effect. Even with the storm picking anything up on your deck yet from this facility Queen?
The elven mage sniffed.... the kind of sniff that she she was highly annoyed. "Oh dear we will leave you horizontal alright. Like you Dwarven friend, his troll friend. " She concentrated just enough to let her hands both ignite into flame the precurser to the stream of fire she was about to spew forth. "I suggust you apologize to the lady who had the unfortunate duty to dig through the dwarves brain which is how we found you name... and then you will transport us instead... Is that acceptible or shall we see if the fish in the water enjoy barbequed human?"
She finally spit out hte bubblegum she was working on frsutration about something clear in her features... or the way she spat. She went to working on a fresh peice of the newly bought gum. her scowl evident. "I still think we ought to murder the dwarf at least nasty little maggot." She grumbled took a deep breath and finally nodded to Abiss. "Lets move people The queen is right times ticking... lets find this carmichael guy and use their ride..."
"That shotgun didnt look like it was going to shoot out hugs and kisses..." I am Karma. She kicked the dwarf again. She was not amused by his choice in waiting entertainment for a variety of reasons... "If im not killing him can you delete his copy of "Lost Princess Lust stories 2 please White Queen?"
"Who said i was killing him?" Her aim shifted south torwards the dwarwves groin. With a smirk she glanced to his friend and with a sigh let the bow go slack she did give him the hardest kick to the junk she could manage.... "F%+~ing elfsimp perverts." She muttered. If the dwarf only knew how close.... "Tie the loud one up or something i dont want them trailing us..
"Another team? No word just hiring forces? F&%%ing Johnson's." She concentrated a momnent undoing her barrier and strode up to the dwarf eyes glaring an emotion worse than hate..... Annoyance. "your crude uncivilized and you are lucky the smell of burnt dwarf is vile. what do you know of the facility..... speak now." She snapped.
"You did well to get what you could while you could. Do not worry. I shall forgo a mask. You will have to take one for sure. you are the key this mission. I just...." "If the unimaginable happens and i fall in this forsaken place i need you to email the information on this stick to Kaycenil Silverwind. the data is on the stick." Tatyana: The information on the infor stick is hardly that shocking or surprising to you. her 'little' brother is not her little brother, he is her illegitimate son with a high ranking official within the government of Tir Taingire. He is not aware of this fact at all. WHile the proud elf did not name the father in the information there were enough hints that a little research or inner knowledge of the goevernment of the elven nation would spell it out.
interior: Gnossimanthia considered herself a patient sometime okay person. this affront to her dignity. so close after the patient trying 7-11 clerk was too much. her fists slowly began to show the slightest hints of flame before the distraction of wraith walking back inside gave her enough distraction to take a deep breath. She glanced to the troll passenger in the corner. Still sleeping.
"Will someone please help our disfusting dwarf off this boat. preferably tossed over the edge. He is seriously deminishing my calm." She moved over to sit by Tatyana lightly touching her left forearm to let her know they were listening.
"You signed up to protect me and mine from whatever made the other team....teams? disappear. They didnt have ... or care to give a lot of information but they are paying great, we are mostly preparred. I asked for a bonus to rescured workers they agreed. So there is that, you will of course be cut in on that. We are getting in, getting the infor they want. " She nodded towards tatyana for that part. "and we are getting out as quick and safely as we can. As much as i love credits... team comes before survivors. I'm Gnossimanthia Silverwind. of the tir'tangi.... nevermind that. " She scowled. "I am called on the streets by the name of Phoenix.... I heal mostly... but dont think i cant or wont melt something into slag with fire if need be. This is our Decker The White Queen. Thats Wraith our guns, Abiss our... well lets call him muscle for now. Besides being errend boys not small feat in our town im not belitteling you i promise what skills do you have?"
"Ugh I swear men get more and more boneheaded by the day. Can you believe that guy Wraith? Alright my lovelies we have more ammo shall we get this show on the....." She paused eyeing the two new men in the bar. She hadnt expected really to see any folk really out and about...She blew a really big bubble letting it snap loudly in annoyance.
7 - 11: She let the poor loser keep the fantasy in his head for like four seconds after Wraith declaired business over. She adjusted her jacket back up covering her shoulders and covering the show.
"were runners dearie... ive a decker who could track down a sheeple in austrailia on the net. Keep it in the spank bank. I see my pic anywhere online i will find you... and not even the legendary phoenix will save you from my flames.... " She let her hand wreathe itself in flame the blaze making her eyes sparkle. as she took out a oeice of the gum she had bought popping it in her mouth. She brough her hand forward the flames just exstinguising as she pated the clerks cheek with a grin. "tootles!" Once outside she pulled out tapped her ear and brought up her phones list of folks to call.... "Thanks Wraith... remind me to tell missus wraith she has herself a gem. " She didnt know if her were married. he should be. He was pretty squared away for a humie. "Babe! hey biz came up... big time emergency with a corp lab. Teams put together it'll be chill. Dont wait up weather is terrible might not have coms for a bit..... Love you!. " She blew a kiss into the air and winked at Wraith. Damn Chummer if you could see my new girl she would blow your mind.... shes a yoga teacher......her legs go up to here." She held her hand up to her chin.
7-11:
She rose an eyebrow arching hi. She was actually used to such looks though they still disgusted her usually. still she was annoyed. "Then he can use my 2 as well.. and your 2 and how ever many more he wants to buy. you arent getting anymore customers tonight i can assure you. She paused making a slight face as she .... rolled her shoulders back just a smidgeon causing her cleavage to become a little more promenent.
Sge followed Wraith because she simply didnt usually need or carry much on missions. Her skills lay in things that werent... purchasable. If they ever made a mana restroting rootbeer or something she was in. Adjusting her jacket she grabbed a pack of original flavored bubble yum and a grape slushpuppy.
"Alright Boys and girls lets get moving...times wasting. make sure we got ammo that has ammo... I mean take waht you think you need and triple it, we will leave a cache at our ingress point. Queen keep doing your think see if you can get anything at all about that research facility or the teams who wnt in missing. I do not trust this mr Johnson one bit. ButHes prepared part of our fee already so we may as get moving." She took the credstick given to them by their employer and transferred it to a neutral credstick. which she took and transferred to her personal credstick. She was getting those pre-mission jitters.
She frowned only for a moment. He had given in way too easily. Either they were that desperate or they didnt expect to have to make a payout cause of failure....Both were worrysome. She glanced to her team looking for any signals they werent ready for this or needed more time. particularly Tatyana. If she knew the decker she was doing all sorts of drek hot shiny preem things to get more infor than mister Johnson was putting forth.... "Abyss, Wraith? you boys good on this? Queen? The motorbike okay?" She asked making sure to use their streetnames.
"So to wrap this up with a bow. You have no knowledge of what we are facing, its has killed two teams. and you want us to rescue anyone we can...." She smiled the chilling sort of smile seen on apex predators when she spot a chicken, on playboys when they spot an innocent farm girl, and on any dragon in the news.... ANY Dragon really... "your starting price is way to low and you already know that unless you are talking to other teams actively which is very bad form you will bump up the total by say 25 % There will be a bonus of 1000 credits per soul we rescue a paltry amount even if we save everyone for hte amount of tiem and effort you have probably put into recruiting and training them.... and finally so we remember to forget everything we see..... My crew will need new wheels when we get out.... say brand new Nodachi motorbike... the new ones with the postiron acceleration sleds in whatever color they desire... no bike for me im afraid i wan barely drice a car... which by they way the new convertable Sidewwinder... cherry read black leather interior...." She paused buffing her laquiered nails on her top nonchelauntly. "Times ticking darling as you said 2 hours 51 minutes remaining... and we can leave right now you would still have to try and gather another team."
"define team." She didnt really seem to bother with the credstick or check its amount. "are you expecting assets as in people to be saved or recovered or like most corps do you just wnat you precious facility back? She hated sounding so cold. She had once held desires to be a doctor to help the less fortunate. Politics and family desires had gotten in the way of that.
"She caused one of my favored cousins emotional pain... no less probably a game to her. She's lucky i haven't paid some desperate ganger to ruin her pretty face." Gnossie sniffed. She had indeed caught Abyss's dig about her ... exile from her home. That was high court politics and she wouldn't diverge that information freely. Especially considering the why in which she fell from grace. "Taty darling, do you know any other young deckers who would work tir taingir? The last one... that Beowulf fellow he told me the ball circuits security was tougher than he expected something about too much Ice for a ball. Wasn't worth getting brain dumped for fancy dresses." That wasn't the reason she wanted the ball circuit film... she wanted to keep an track on Kaycenil her little naive brother. Those she harpy debutante elven maids would eat him alive. She was pretty sure her team knew she wants "That" vapid and vain.
"Fraggin Skinslot.... Candi with an I.... Drek she makes us look so bad." Another obscenely gorgeous elven maiden with perfect blonde hair layered just right with fiery eyeshadow adn reddest lipstick created by mortal races painting on her lips said pounding her slim fist onto her own thigh making a slight face of pain when she did so. Her breasts were no where near as bounteous as the weather girls also they weren't fake so there was that going her her. A light cackle of flames formed on one of her hands for a moment before it extinguished... "My cousin Kaycenil banged her in the back of his hover limo once... she's had more lovers than I've had manicures.... and I've had a lot of manicures." She almost started to protest when the screen cut off. There was nothing she liked more than talking trash about the elven elite.... especially since she was no longer one of the kin. Her blood we perfect enough, just well... sometimes there were lines you shouldn't cross... and she had did a double backflip with a two and half twist over a couple. Gnossimanthia Silverwind... or just Simply Gnossie to most folk was once a high tiered princess of Tir Tairngire... until she was disowned and thrown out. "I bet those drekhead pixies in Tir' have some sort of magic wall up blowing this drek back up here into Seattle...... A#~#@+~." She muttered as Mr.Johnson started his sales pitch. Her ears tingled as he activated the noise dampening in the room.... this was some serious biz. Most of the work they had received the employee trusted the loud music to cover any snoops to be distracted by... to have paid to turn on the noise cancellation.... before a deal was even agreed to? someone didn't mind spending the cred. She drained her fizzy ginger tonic screamer and set the glass down looking the fixer in the eye... "You have us here... start the spiel." |
