She listened to his case, before leaning back. [color=02fc5e]"You read my mind, kid."[/color] She popped in another cracker, levitating it into her mouth before putting the package back into her duffel bag. [color=02fc5e]"I hope Saris did his research on everyone, if he got someone like [i]me[/i] I'm pretty sure he at least did some searching."[/color] She sighed. [color=02fc5e]"But yeah, I feel like this party isn't gonna stand together if he plans on making this a permanent thing. A whole lot of people here don't seem like team players. I'm sure the three of us and a few others will do just fine, but I don't know. I just hope the pay is-"[/color] Lokea couldn't even finish her sentence as a merc smashed through a nearby wall into their fortified area, causing the asari to immediately raise her rifle and take aim at the source, seeing the merc fall through the ground. And then a huge hulking figure stepped on through, wearing some thick ass armor. She watched as the hulking figure stomped on the man's neck about four times until it snapped. She winced at that, not even wishing that upon mercs. Fuck. Flame broke the silence, and Lokea kept her rifle trained on Laurence. She immediately gestured for Ashton to remain behind her against the barrier wall while she kept her rifle trained on him, enabling her biotic abilities, her energy pulsing as she created subtle barriers around them. She simply spoke to Laurence. [color=02fc5e]"Are you here for Saris Fen?"[/color] She asked Laurence, aiming at his head, before turning to the kids. [color=02fc5e]"And will you two cut the chatter please?"[/color] Lokea asked, as more pressing matters were standing right in front of the three. She remained with the kids until she heard that there were gunships inbound with drones. She took a quick look at her omni-tool before speaking into the comms. [color=02fc5e]"Lokea to team, we have enemy aerial forces inbound. Gunships and drones. I suggest you all find a cozy place to hold out at, and arm anti-air weapons hot."[/color] She said before looking to Laurence. [color=02fc5e]"Name's Lokea Zhu of the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion. If you're here with us, I suggest you give us a hand with the defense effort. The less fire they can concentrate the better."[/color] Using her biotics, she tossed the dead merc out of the window into the hangar. She kept herself interposed between the two boys and Laurence as much as possible, though.
