Mass Effect: Underworld

Everything went to shit in a hand basket pretty goddamned quickly.
This operation wasn't what one would call smooth, it had been sloppy and the fact that they had not encountered a single casualty was a bloody miracle, well it seemed that way.
Giles was keeping an eye on what was occurring below, he hadn't gotten clear fully as of yet he needed a good visual on when to detonate the mines, that time was drawing nearer and nearer now though, Salissa's shield generator finally gave in from the onslaught it had endured, in theory that should have been her overwhelmed and killed in mere moments, however there was a reason why they were all picked by Spectres; they were no ordinary soldiers.
Salissa managed to escape relatively unharmed thanks to the Krogan whom had just beat his way through the ensuing horde that followed her, truly there were some headstrong glory seekers here, or maybe it was just a Krogan being a typical Krogan, losing himself in bloodlust and rage, apparently it was not an easy thing to control, assuming you actually wanted to control it.

As he watched Giles was performing a few potshots here and there, firing into the general vicinity of the horde, his main focus was the comms for when the call for detonation went out.
It quickly became evident what the Krogan was planning though, he was going to shoot the mines, Giles' eyes widened with disbelief, that would likely fracture the explosion, nullifying the purpose of why they were placed - the order they were placed in was to ensure maximum structural damage, so that all of it would collapse and crush the horde, the Krogan was literally mowing his way through the synthetic creatures in order to do it.
"You fool! N..." By the time Giles shouted it was already too late the detonation occurred drowning out his words and indeed everything else in the tunnel.
The chain reaction of the cain mines sent massive ripples of kinetic force outwards through out the tunnel, knocking Giles off his feet and pushing him back a few feet, Cain mines didn't get their namesake for nothing, each one of them packed a significant punch a simultaneous detonation of them only amplifies this.
Each of the further detonations being signified by a pulse, it sent a wave of dust through the old tunnels and blasted past them all like a sandstorm, pieces of debris flew through it at high speeds and caused his kinetic barriers to ripple every time one hit; it being the only thing stopping them from slicing him to ribbons as well as the rest of the team.

Giles tried to compose himself but he was blinded by the thick dust that clouded the battlefield, each haggard breath he took burnt his lungs and airways, causing him to cough violently; his rebreather was in his satchel that now lied somewhere in the thick soup-like mist, every sound was dampened, he seen the flashes of gunfire and flashlights pierce through the darkness, the fighting sounded as if it were happening from miles away, and yet he knew only a few steps would take him to that fight.
Then the order came through the comms unit "Giles! Now!"

As he suspected, not all of the mines went off... "Goddamned Krogan, leave the bloody explosives work to the expert..."
The air began to clear a bit when the sprinkler system went off, ancient yet still operational - as the musk began to clear Giles spat out phlegmy mixture of dust covered blood that made him question just how much shit was now in his respiratory system.
He didn't wait on ceremony however, not even to find his satchel - if those husks got out of the tunnel it was game over.
Inputting the command into his omni-tool Giles took a deep breath through the nose and prepared for the second wave of dust.

A small flash of red light could be seen illuminate out of the crumbling debris, the mines activated and then nought but a second later detonated.
Because the detonation of the mines was staggered and in two phases, the cloud of debris and dust this time was far more lethal, it flung pieces of rock and metal out the size of small boulders, some weighing anywhere from 1kg to 50kg and flying at fast speeds, anyone not in cover would be lucky to come out with nothing more than some broken limbs, something Giles had forgot to anticipate - when his barriers went off from a lucky miss, that would have removed his left arm he got down from his very disadvantageous position, rolling into a piece of small cover.
Everywhere on his body hurt, his clothing was covered in a coat of dust and in places had been eviscerated by shards of debris, cutting into his flesh and leaving behind a pock mark of green blood that oozed out in pulses; he wasn't aware if the second detonation had been a success but he could barely think straight at the moment, his wounds were quite severe, and the small bedrock of debris that had began to cover him didn't help.

After spitting another congealment of phlegm and blood out of his throat he spoke into the comms " A little help here..."
Not... a good start in terms of a mission Giles had concluded, he felt like shit and if he survived he would drink himself to sleep tonight. His situation was not helped by the fact that he could do little more than feebly push some bits of rock and chunks of synthetic body parts of himself whilst he waited for someone to help him.
This was compounded even further when he seen the glowing blue lifeless eyes of husk crawl around the cover he had used earlier; it appeared to be missing an arm and its legs, but it wasn't going to stop there.

"You're. Fucking. Kidding. Me!" With his free foot Gilvert kicked the at the Husks head, every time he did a spike of pain shot through his body, but was he hell being chomped on or something by this shit. The husk didn't like the fact that it just got a boot to its head and screamed hollowly before shifting a bit closer, timing the momentum of its shuffle and his kick the next one gave a satisfying crack as its neck went.

A sigh of relief escaped Giles' lungs, followed by another cough as he relaxed under his bed of rubble.
"Fuck, I thought the godsdamned Reaper war was a struggle, I'm never coming back to this planet after this..."

@PrivateVenturesYeah it was me who said that Ellis is on thin ice :P

|| Jake Anderson ||

✌ Appears to be an effective leader and soldier; as befits his N7 status. ✌
"One of the spectres that are our leaders, I've yet to witness much of his capabilities, although based on what I have seen it's not strange that he and Aegon have been placed together, both of them appear to be very capable leaders and commanders, if one not more lenient in conduct than the other, Jake seems a tad bit more laid back than Aegon but the difference between the two isn't desercanble as of yet, I look forward to working with him more directly in the future."

|| Aegon Partinax ||

⚜ He has my respect and reminds me of Vartak, my old Krogan commander from the merc group; I'll make note to stay in his good books. ⚜
"Competent, steel willed, commanding and daunting, hallmarks of the Turian race rolled into a single soldier and forger in the heat of the galaxies harshest battlefields, this Turian hs already earned my respect, for how much that is worth I do not know, but I wish to get to know him better in the comings weeks/months/years that we will work together, I hope he can tolerate the Artist...

|| Ravanor Rykarn ||

✌ Clearly less mature than the other Krogan, far more headstrong - capable warrior nonetheless. ✌
"Krogan are always a sight to fear and behold equally on the battlefield, they are hulking juggernauts of flesh and plate, typically encased in masses of armour on top of their natural defences, Rykarn embodies this sight of a Krogan easily, can't say much else about him yet.

|| Vella Calixten Ophelia ||

✌ She's a child... Yet somehow still manages to perform well - quite the conundrum this one... ✌
" Can't rightfully say how I feel about this one, shes extremely childish, and yet it's not exactly in a bad way, she's not cost the team anything as of yet, this group will certainly mature her, although that depends on who influences her - alternatively she might get even more childish; otherwise she seems a likeable enough person and a capable soldier, otherwise she wouldn't be here; her biotics are clearly impressive although she did use them to save Ellis for some reason... Either way there's definitely potential, and I look forward to speaking to her and interacting with her more."

|| Ellis Taevon ||

☠Got a special thermal clip waiting for this one. ☠
"I know how the artist acts... the world is a stage to him and whilst he may seemingly kill indiscriminately or with lust and joy, you can at least predict his actions; this man however, is not predictable... He's a liability and above all a former Cerberus scum (whilst Cerberus was not all bad at one time their actions have been inexcusable in the latter years), this... thing still has Cerberus roots, I can feel the hate in his words when he speaks to us Aliens. He may be quick to stab his former allies in the back, but you can never trust a turncoat - for how long before our backs become his next target? I will kill this abomination if he so much as steps one hydraulic foot out of line, the Spectres be damned."

|| Rayes'Xum Nar Yaron ||

☕ We have a Quarian? Wait... we have two?! ☕
"Don't know how this one will react to the Geth, otherwise I don't know anything about him."

|| Phalanx ||

☕ I'd like to talk to this machine, I've never encountered the Geth, in combat or person I thought they were hostile machines but it appears their ascension to a true AI has made them friendly. ☕
"True Ai are always a threat, the Reapers surely should have taught us all this harsh reality, the Geth are no exception - but it's to little too late now, they must break bread with the machines in hope of never repeating the mistakes of the past, I will try to do the same."

|| Rol'Naaris vas Vaepal ||

☕ Still wasn't aware we had Quarians here... ☕
"Not much to say other than I will hopefully get to know a bit more about him soon."

|| Tiberius Adarian ||

✌ Gunna enjoy talking to his belt. ✌
"Like the rest of the team wasn't tall enough, this Turian makes me look like a godamned Volus, one of the rare few Turians with biotics and competent at that, I'll have to speak to him after this is over."

|| Raik Skarr ||

✌ Another hulking tank of flesh, don't know much about him barring his fondness and aptitude at close quarters ✌
"A lot like Vartak in the way he fights, always a good sign if you fight like a Krogan warlord, hopefully I'll get to speak with him after the battle, see if he's up for a round of drinks."

|| Sicaria Velinian ||

✌ Don't know this one... ✌
"A member of the infiltration team I'm guessing, hopefully I'll meet them soon.'

|| Ja'Far Balak ||

⚜ Always liked Batarians, good guys, good fighters, and good drinking buddies - I can tell Ja'Far will be no different. ⚜
"He speaks a bit funny but otherwise this Batarian is a nice guy, knows how to work with explosives a bit, although nothing on my level, still its nice to have someone who appreciates the destructive art of them, looking forward to working more with him I know we will get on very well - I just hope the Artist is equally fond of him.

|| Salissa Fortia ||

⚜ An idiot or a damned hero, the two come hand in hand I guess, she has my respect - her drinks are all bought after this mission is over. ⚜
"Humans like to mess with their bodies it seems, intentional or otherwise - Salissa from what I have seen is built to operate on the vanguard, at the same time she can provide troop support though, the antics with the shield stopping the husks for one either way she's still alive and breathing so she's not entirely stupid, I'll buy her some drinks afterwards - actions as crazy as that deserve a reward when there's no corpse at the end of it."

|| Alria Vicrinus ||

☕ Who? Name seems like it belongs to a female, possibly Asari, but the second name is definitely Turian" ☕
"Haven't met her yet."

|| Ethan Sartiel ||

☕ Who? I thought that was everyone...☕

Mass Effect: Underworld

What the fuck have I missed?
It appears that Phalanx has just become a teddy bear/pimp with all his suitors.... >.>"

Mass Effect: Underworld

Yeah I'm gunna do mine tomorrow, looking forward to seeing them all :3

Mass Effect: Underworld

@Silver FoxAh... I written that after reading everything post-paddy day celebrations, probably not the best idea.
Anyway, I apologise if I came off as petty or childish, that was not my intent I promise you.

Mass Effect: Underworld

@DervishThat... Was not my intent when I stated that... I'm not shallow enough to complain about me not saving the day, I was meaning it from Gilverts perspective.
They're his bombs and he likes to do the blowing up bit, that's all I meant :/

Mass Effect: Underworld

I would have been severely annoyed had everyone blown my Mines up, and when I do my post Giles will have a few choice words for Rykarn >.>"
Nobody blows his stuff up but him; he's gunna make sure people learnt that pretty damn fast.
