Finishing up at the terminal she jogged down the stairs. It only took one look at Drono to know he wouldn’t be able to handle carrying around an unconscious body. Any other time Dex was sure he’d be strong enough but with the beating T’Raza handed him he was worse for wear. Rejoining down the stairs she quickly packed T’Raza over her shoulder then nodded for Drono to lead the way. 

A few minutes later they met with Tonka outside the building while he quickly cleared the way of enemies. Dex kept up rather well despite having an extra 75 kilos (165lbs) on her back. Her muscle and strength was primarily in her back and arms.


Thankfully the small group leaving the facility to secure their captives took one of the skycars. After doing a quick search for her bounty the Asari government was offering five thousand credits for her alive. A nice bonus for everything Drono and Dex worked for to take her down. 

Saying a quick goodbye to the others Dex watched their team shrink in numbers. Sincerely hoping their crew would remain alive to see this first mission through. It would have been too embarrassing otherwise. Dex could only imagine the conversation she’d have with Gal trying to explain her reasoning behind joining this particular crew after a spectacular failure to complete their first mission.

She shuddered at the thought of talking with Gal after ignoring him all day. He was usually a calm force of leadership but when ignored for long periods of time he could unleash a temper that would level cities.

The rest of the team cleared up their respective areas then regrouped at the mine entrance. Dex was invested with planning their next steps, providing more details as she combed through the data.

Tonka went onto explain the mine’s makeup and a good plan of action while the group’s attention snapped at the sniper shot. The resounding gunshots made for a ringing in Dex’s ears. Serena’s abundant cursing assaulted her hearing next, long strings of creative insults that could probably have been heard down to the end of the mineshaft with the way her voice was carrying. She was [i]angry[/i]. It wasn’t strange and to some degree Dex could understand, if anyone destroyed her arm or damaged it they would be met by a similar wave of fury. Though, she’d openly admit to not being able to match Serena’s creativity. 

Tanya asked who was up for killing snipers then Drono jumped at the chance to deal with them. Dex skeptically watched Drono load up the cart with all the explosives he could find, jury-rigging it with what he had. A pile of glue and wires kept what he collected together. 

Immediately shaking her head after he explained his idea she replied, “[color=007236]You can’t honestly expect with all that glue you used for any of the fuses to work. The charge can’t just be conducted-[/color]”

Watching the cart go barreling down the slope right into the midst of the snipers watching the series of explosions covering her ears hoping to stifle the ringing that had just dissipated after Serena’s drone being shot. It did little to protect her; a new wave of ringing rattled her skull.

The improvised distraction successfully smoked out the snipers blinding them from their advance.

Dex stared then sucked back in what she was about to say instead turning to the blue Drell with admiration, “[color=007236]Your new tag line should be [i]surprisingly[/i] effective, Drono. Good work.[/color]” Unaware of how loud she must of sounded.

Looking around at the possible choices she could make regarding moving the mission forward she decided to go with the technical. A krogan was a soldier to be wary of but a turret mounted on an armored truck fared better for survival. She was striking out of her comfort zone, knowing she would be better help supporting the vehicle than a fire team. Finding decent cover, her voice still carried rather loudly unable to hear most of what she said.

“[color=007236]Sending what my scanner picks up to everyone, allow me to point you in the right direction.[/color]” Dex volunteered to help pulling up her tactical scans.

The scanner found a couple snipers within their range. Her omnitool glowed orange through the haze of smoke, a few keystrokes later and the data was sent to the entire team. While they read the information she pulled off her own respective sniper rifle plugging a few shots in the one closest to Vellios weakening the batarian’s armor considerably.

“[color=007236]Let’s keep pushing forward everybody.[/color]” She said then winked at Drono, “[color=007236]Inspiring speeches can’t keep their morale up for long.[/color]”
