It was completely empty, but looking at such a empty space made him calm, allowed him to think properly. The only other occupant of the room was a Volus, sitting at a swivel chair as high as it could go, tapping at a keyboard. Said Volus turned to him as he stared out of the window. [color=fff200]" [color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]Haven't you got much better things to do now? That vid screen was giving me a...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]headache."[/color] Laurence looked at him as if he were stupid. [color=ed145b]"Because last time i checked, i don't need to do anything. If these people are as good as you say they are, we don't have anything to worry about. After all, any dipshit these days can fight off a Blue Sun attack force...how many was it again?"[/color] [color=fff200]"Two hundred... [color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] soldiers, mainly human and Turian, multiple gunships, and at least thirty... [color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] mechs. Not sure what kinds..."[/color] Laurence sighed, and banged his head against the glass of the window. [color=ed145b]"Well, we are completely fucked if they all happen to be YMIR's. Which i wouldn't put past the fucking suns these days. When Cerberus fell apart, they were the first to loot their graves..." [/color] [color=fff200]"[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]Ssssh."[/color] Said Saris Fen, looking at a nearby screen and chuckling slowly to himself.[color=fff200] "They are arriving, i must not have noticed when we were talking..." [/color] Laurence still thought this idea was utterly stupid, but even then, he was still curious. A man should at least know a bit about his cannon fodder. [color=ed145b] "They don't look like much. I cant even see any Krogan yet."[/color] [color=fff200]"Neither do you, out of your armor. Though I suppose Krogan might like the [color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] missing eye..."[/color] [color=ed145b]"Fuck you."[/color] Saris chuckled to himself again, as he watched each of the people on the screens. He couldn't tell if any of them were together, or even if they knew exactly where to go. He wasn't sure if all of them were here, but a quick glance at yet another screen told him he didn't have much longer to wait. He would have to do it now. A small hand reached for an intercom. [color=fff200]"Greetings, everyone!"[/color] a voice boomed out from comm units all around the port, enough for anyone inside to hear. [color=fff200]"My name is Saris Fen, i sincerely hope you are here for the offer that i...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] sent you several weeks ago. I speak to you now to assure you that this offer is real, and this is not a trap, trafficking operation ...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] anything, like that. However, i am at an impasse. It would not do for me to recruit you, pay you, and to watch you die before you can...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] do anything. I am a businessman, and must make sure that my investments are......[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]as good as they say. Because of this, and other... conveniences, i have devised a small test. Ten minutes away, a full blue suns attack force of two hundred soldiers with aerial support is heading to this docking bay. Certain...wanted individuals work for me, and it was believed they are...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] here. I have wished to burn the tail of the ...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]...the suns for some time, and this will give us all an opportunity to do so. This attack is highly inconvenient, but i suppose if it allows me to...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] test you, it will be a blessing in disguise. You will defend this place, and kill every single blue sun that you see. They...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] may be dangerous opponents, but i have every faith that you will prove equal to this task. If you wish to leave, you may do so. I simply advise that you hurry up. Until then, relax, you ...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] have ten minutes until the suns arrive, so load your weapons, ready those omni tools, and ...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] maybe learn the names of those you are fighting with. Whatever ...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]works for you. If you have any questions, i will be more than happy to answer them following this inconvenience. Good luck...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color]everyone!"[/color] Saris turned the intercom off, and stretched slightly in his chair, before holstering a paladin pistol he had kept on his desk, for some reason. Laurence gave him a hard look, then sighed. [color=ed145b]"Are you going to tell them you tipped the blue suns so they would come here?"[/color] Saris laughed. [color=fff200]"Not until the suns are gone, release that little tidbit of information, and they might get it in their minds to ...[color=0072bc][Hhhkk...][/color] shoot someone else."[/color]
