[i]"You don't need common sense if you have superior firepower!"[/i]

Vella's features contorted into a disagreeable frown at the sound of Tiberius's scolding. However, she managed to hold herself from talking back; or rather, commencing with a full-scale rebuke; if it had not been for the spectres who had arrived in the room.

[i]"Finally someone I can relate to!"[/i]

"You in particular. Is that what they call fire discipline in the Lance of Light? You're lucky I don't have you court-martialed for nearly blowing this place to kingdom come. Were you under a rock during the war? The Geth are our allies now. All the Reaper-coded Geth have been driving away. You have better chances of getting hit by lightning than meeting one of them on the human homeworld for spirits sake." 

" ... "

"Yes, mistr,- ahem, sir!"

[i]"I take my previous statement back. Although I was in a coma for at least two of those months."[/i]

Vella considered taking personal offense by the spectre, if it hadn't been for her old habits kicking in. The man was a spectre after all, if spectres were even part of the military hierarchy; they were undoubtedly pretty high up! And harassing and shit-talking their subordinates was after all the norm for higher ups! So maybe this was just him doing his job?

Regardless, the spectres and their promise of glory and adventure would quickly overtake any other thought she had going on as her eyes suddenly narrowed on the two men!

“I wont lie. The job will be dangerous. The pay abysmal. We’ll be dealing with the worst scum that the galaxy has to offer, travelling deep into the worst reaches of space to complete the kinds of duties that people like us have nightmares about, and even if we do everything right no one is ever going to thank you for it. Hell, no one respectable is even going to know you done anything. . . ”

[i]"Is this man a mind reader? This is one of the best sale pitchers I've ever heard!"[/i]

"Sign me up any day!" Vella would promptly exclaim without hesitated as she hurriedly stepped forward, standing next to Tiberius as she assumed a more straight up posture!
"Vella Calixten Ophelia "Calisto" of the Lance of Light at your service! Dedicated Heavy Assault specialist! Just point me in the general direction of the problem and it will not exist for much longer!"

Vella added with a smirk, her face now suddenly having gone from her more jovial demeanor to a vicious grin, causing her war tattoos to suddenly take on a far more menacing appearance around her yellow eyes!
