Mass Effect: The Face of Injustice

Hey Lucius, you think you could cut down the numbers on that security force? Overkill wouldn't have been agreed upon for the terms of the meeting. I mentioned before that both sides are meant to have limited security.

Star Wars - Scum and Villainy

Sirka nodded along as she listened to the hologram give the details of the job. The pay was definitely good; it wasn't something she could retire on, but enough jobs like it, and she would be set for life. A prison break wasn't something Sirka had done before, but if it involved getting into a fight, she would be right at home. The others could probably do all the other stuff they needed. Sirka knew her role, which was to be the muscle, and in this job in particular, that role would be even more important. This material their employer mentioned wasn't anything she had heard of, but for herself at least, she wasn't all that worried about its electronic-draining properties. Sure, she couldn't use her primary, but Sirka had no need of a blaster to be deadly. She would probably end up taking the job, but for the moment, there were just a few questions she had to get a better idea of what she would be getting into.

"Doesn't sound too hard. I can rip a stormtrooper's arms off without a second thought; I don't need a blaster. I do have a question or two, though. This, uh, thirty thousand you're going to be paying up front, and the hundred thousand after; that is each right? Also, do you know if the guards are going to have any guns that can get around the whole 'draining electronics' thing?" Sirka asked.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

I am pretty firm in its usability, even in a tight situation. My describing it as a warhammer was only due to me not knowing the right term. The weapon itself hasn't changed. It has an axe head with a hammer on the reverse, and a spike at the top, However, it could be used perfectly well in one hand as an axe, provided he gripped it near the top. Reason being is that the weight would be pretty much the same as a one-handed axe, since the vast majority of the weight is located in the head. Try just getting a simple hammer and experimenting with the grip. You'll see what I mean. Obviously, the longer haft would make it more cumbersome. There are certain ways he wouldn't be able to move it due to the long haft. And he could not have allies behind him while using it in this manner. Overall, polearms can definitely be used in close quarters with the right grip. It's not preferable over a shorter weapon, obviously, but long weapons don't suddenly become useless if you close in too much.

Of course, Ssarak probably won't be using his poleaxe anyway. It makes much more sense just to pick up the glowy axe and use that.

I would actually argue against that given what I know about historic fighting techniques. Polearms are actually fairly versatile. You can simply hold the weapon closer to the head and use it like a shorter weapon, just with the rest of the haft behind you. For instance, with a spear, you can hold it near the point and use it almost like a dagger. With a pollaxe, Ssarak could use it in a similar style as a one-handed axe, as long as his allies don't crowd too close behind him. The haft really doesn't add much weight at all, compared to the head. I wish I could show you what I mean, but words will have to suffice.

Ssarak is all business until the camp is cleared. I just need to know Alaira's reaction.

Ssarak might object to that out of principle, after they are out of danger, of course. Apparently, there is something in this camp that is important for our investigation. Could be anything.

I think I'll need to know Alaira's reaction before I can post, as Ssarak's response will depend on if she does anything crazy.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

One by one, Meesei set about handling the tasks she needed to complete before the end of the day. Sabine expressed her concerns over testing the poison in the vial, so Meesei decided to err on the side of caution. She still needed to test the vial, but they would need to do it in the most safe, controlled manner as possible. Meesei privately informed Carana of the need for a test with a sample of the undiluted poison, though Meesei mentioned nothing about the vial or where she obtained the poison. She did, however, mention that the test needed to remain a secret for the moment. However, they did not begin testing the vial immediately. Instead, Meesei allowed Carana to rejoin Sabine in observing the still-ongoing test which would confirm or deny the timing of the poisoning. The new test did not need to be performed immediately, and Meesei wanted to give Carana ample time to make all necessary safety precautions, such as gathering protective clothing and protections against dangerous fumes. For the moment, Meesei kept the vial, as she would need it to confront Harriet later that night.

The next task was finding guards for Harriet, which Meesei was able to do more openly, though she shared the true reason for this with no one. To Harriet, Meesei explained that, in light of the attack on Oswall, the lieutenants were not safe. Since Harriet was the accused, she was the one in the most danger of being attacked by a potential vigilante, so Meesei would find reputable individuals from each of the lieutenants' packs, including Harriet's, to protect her. She was able to find the first two in a reasonable amount of time, but before she could find the last two, they came across a scene which realized Meesei's fears on this entire situation. Two groups, evidently loyal to Oswall and Harriet, were on the verge of violence, which was something that had to be stopped immediately. A fight now, even a minor would, could spark greater violence later.

"None of you are correct, not entirely." Meesei shouted in her commanding voice as she stepped up between the two groups. "There is no use arguing this with each other. Your fears are understandable, and your anger natural, but instead of turning your claws on your brothers and sisters, speak your questions to me. From what I have heard, I am in a position to answer them all."
