[h2]Banha Akiyama[/h2] [h3]New York, Arcadia-1[/h3] [@Absolis] [@supertinyking] [@thewizardguy] [@Tyki] [@Flamelord] [hr] Banha was almost in admiration at Nova's leadership, addressing people he met only hours or, in some cases, minutes before. He nodded at the armour clad man, gesturing to the two Krogans behind him. They were both veterans of multiple campaigns against the Dominion and loyal to him until death. The twins were suited for the job but there were enough veteran soldiers in the group that they wouldn't be missed. As Nova spoke to the group about the dangers of their job, he also thought back to the potentials of the technology he gave them. The excitable scientist he had melded with moments ago is now sharing all the details to the head of R&D, babbling about science and other things that flew over his head. Whatever the telepath showed to him must've been millennia more advanced than their own, technology that they could previously only have dreamed of. The kind gesture gave the Batarian the confidence that allying with Nova wasn't the worst idea he ever had. As Banha gazed across the assorted group of people who have supposedly allied with Nova. He had no opinion of the crystal man named Stephen, a valuable asset with powers that seemed to come out of a crappy vid. Ruiko.... he didn't know what the point of Ruiko was. As she was being poked by the admittedly annoying Stephen, he pondered on what kind of strange magic she possessed. He didn't know what to think of the Rivard brothers, Absolis and Saber. Although they seem to befriend the creatures that "friendlified" his men, they seemed alright enough. [h1]KABOOM[/h1] 'Oh you are fucking kidding me.' Apparently, the world really loved explosions. As he looked up, the fiery explosion seemed to slow down. It seemed like he was on really hardcore drugs. And soon, it all came back to normal. Except there was no explosion in the sky and a writhing pile of reptilian aliens seemed to appear in front of them. A drop pod, at least that's what it looked like, appeared next to them. "[color=wheat]Please, Banha. Tell our new guests to behave.[/color]" Nova seemed strained, holding his head as he massaged a headache The reptilians formed into a rank and file formation, seemingly discussing what to do next. Banha hesitated to do anything, the possibility for hostilities to arise were high. He clapped his hands twice before whistling the first few seconds of Symphony No. 1 in E-Flat Major, K 16. Multiple medics, mainly Asari and Humans, ran up to his position and halted just behind him. Several Turians and Batarians surrounded them in a protective formation. Meanwhile, the pod opened to reveal a human male hiding in the pod. When he finished speaking, the Yakuza leader switched between the human and the group of reptilians looking towards him. 'Eating other intelligent species?' His head fringe scrunched up in disgust. 'What kind of sick bastards are these guys?' The Batarian almost had to stop himself from squeezing the trigger on the reptiles and mowing them down. He looked around in their little group, wondering what everyone else was thinking.
