[b][color=red]B[/color][/b]ack from the shortest party ever, the SRN team weighed their options. It didn't take long for them to reach consensus. They would raid the Tenth Street Reds' base with Outcast.

Attaching her rescue drone to her red thermal armor and strapping her arc pistol to its holster, Sevipia frowned at the prospect of Kysar joining in on the action. She admonished the prospect of him reopening injuries so soon. She recommended Kysar staying behind with Lizbeth, but he was insistent on getting his revenge. So Sevipia gave up and settled on "no crazy biotics".

At the same time, Lizbeth had returned from speaking with Saneamiento staff.

"You guys can take their van. It's got a self-driving VI." Lizbeth reported. She was also setting up a workstation at a holo-table. "No one wants to take the shuttle instead? Surely flying beats the road."

"And beats the mess when someone wrecks their van..." Lizbeth murmured.

"Right! So, Sevipia, I have your helmet cam linked." Lizbeth tapped the holo-table to bring up Sevipia's cam feed. "Anyone else? Real time tips are, well, real helpful in combat!"

"And helpful for your next of kin should you become deceased." Lizbeth added as if recalling a line from a script. "Had to say that, you know, SRN regulation."

[color=ffb302]“I’ll take it.”[/color] Amina sounded off flatly. Frankly she was looking forward to taking down an honest shootout after the debacle of slinking around shantytown.

Kysar smirked at Lizabeth’s remark. [color=800000]“At least the next team will have an easier time finding us if this all goes south.”[/color]

A curt chuckle was stifled by a sharp pain from his torso wound. [color=800000]“Patch me in as well.”[/color] He replied.

Accustomed to being observed by others, Nadara held no qualms about linking her helmet cam. [color=82ca9d]“Same here,”[/color] she said after Kysar.

Solveig raised a brow at the camera, saying nothing for a moment before looking at Lizbeth intensely, [color=662d91]"if I'm not pointing right... feel free to update me. I'll be out of the way."[/color]

As she often did, she rolled her shoulder just slightly. [color=662d91]"They won't know I'm there."[/color]

[color=0054a6]“The van would be much less conspicuous.”[/color] Zenn said plainly. [color=0054a6]“The shuttle runs the risk of us getting spotted before we get close. But with the van they wouldn’t realize what was happening until we’re driving through their front door! Uh. Not that we plan on actually doing that…”[/color]

The quarian nodded at Lizbeth’s request [color=0054a6]“I wouldn’t mind another pair of eyes behind mine.”[/color]

[color=007236]"Speak for yourself, driving through the front door is a hell of an opening move, learned that from the Orgon Raid a few years back,"[/color] Zenobia smirks, securing her armor in place. [color=007236]Also I call shotg-"[/color]

Nadara glanced at Zenn. [color=82ca9d]“If we do take the van, I call shotgun.”[/color]

[color=007236]"-DAMN IT."[/color] The Turian scowls. [color=007236]"Well either way I'm down with the van, rather not lose the shuttle after the first mission."[/color]

Nadara winked and blew Zenobia a kiss. It was always better to keep the wild ones on your good side.

Zenobia pouts in response.

"You can have the driver seat." Lizbeth suggested.

Zenobia gets a look on her face that'd put the fear of god into any rational person. [color=007236]"I'll take it!"[/color]

Zenn's eyes grow wide as he slowly turns to look at Lizbeth. [color=0054a6]"What have you done?"[/color]

"Don't worry, it's only...an honorary driver seat." Lizbeth tried to play it down. "The VI's doing the actual driving."

[color=ffb302]“Riding bitch with four aliens…”[/color] Amina mumbled just audibly enough.

Nadara shot Amina a look, eyes narrowed, but didn’t say anything. The woman was no better than the locals they ran into in Cerro.

[color=800000]"Got that bitch part right."[/color] Kysar chuckled as he checked the sights of his Mattlock. [color=800000]"Aren't you supposed to have all that fancy reaper tech in your eyes?"[/color]

Solveig reached into her pocket awkwardly, taking out a single jelly bean. The vibrancy had worn down and was slightly fluffy. As she listened to the conversation at hand, while she didn't pick up the nuances of Nadara's stare, she felt the pointed words of Kysar. [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/8173e5e8-5b29-4b6f-9b1b-d4f3e7b228c1.gif]As she ate the bean, she wondered if for once she wouldn't be the most socially unpopular one on the team.[/url]

Amina said nothing else, eyes straight ahead as she was not particularly interested in getting roped into an extended back and forth with a Turian.

"Ahem." Lizbeth budged in. "Van is ready to go. Good luck, team!"

"Oh, and Solveig," she added, "if Katya's out there, we'll find her."

[color=662d91]"I'll find her,"[/color] Solveig replied, before heading off to the van first, mumbling something about coffee.

Thankful the VI would be doing the actual driving, Nadara brushed past Amina, not bothering to excuse herself as she made her way to the van.

Zenn let out a quick sigh of relief. He knew there was a self driving VI, but he wasn't sure if the person in the driver seat could disable it. It wasn't even the idea Zenobia's driving that terrified him, it was the potential to have to pay for any damages.

[color=0054a6]"Sorry, Zenobia. Maybe you can drive the next one?"[/color] The quarian said, giving the turian a pat on the shoulder as he too made his way to the van. [color=0054a6]"Assuming it's one we can afford to wreck."[/color]

Zenobia shrugs her shoulders and leans back, kicking her feet up on the dashboard. [color=007236]"Is that how little you think of me, that I'd wreck every vehicle I get behind the wheel of?"[/color] She sounds jokingly offended.

Unlike last time, Zenn currently had both his pistol and sniper on hand, which gave him enough confidence to retort in a similarly joking manner. 

[color=0054a6]"Your callsign is Lunatic and you were moments ago in favor of using the van as a battering ram. I feel it's not too presumptuous to think you might get a little too wild if put behind the wheel."[/color]
