He didn't have it. Dammit. Roadhog had originally hoped that Junkrat was dumb enough to have the treasure on him. Then again, the Junker proved to be smarter than expected. Now, he had to ask where he hid it; however, Roadhog heard some strange noises outside before he could say something. He reached for his shotgun and started to walk slowly towards the door while picking up an empty can of beans from the ground. Once he reached the door, Roadhog knew that there were unexpected visitors as they commented on the busted lock.
With the empty can, he threw it near Junkrat and kept a steady grip on the shotgun. One of the men rushed inside and immediately saw the tied-up rat. “Holy fuck!” he shouted loud enough that his friend rushed inside to investigate. The other friend also saw him, and both of their faces lit up, realizing that they found the legendary Junkrat. “We are so going to be rich after we find the fat fucker!” the man excitedly declared for the whole Outback to hear.

However, in their excitement, they never checked if Roadhog was still in the building. Suddenly, a single shot went off and struck one of the men. The other man’s face turned into horror as he saw his friend getting shot. Then, he saw the hog. Before he could even reach for his weapon, the bounty hunter’s hand was already on his neck. Roadhog dragged the guy towards the counter as his buddy was lying on the ground, slowly dying near Junkrat. He just asked one simple question, “Who sent you?”

The guy quickly answered, “The Queen! It was her!”

Roadhog didn’t buy it. He squeezed harder on the guy’s neck as he tried to say something before yelling it out. “G-Go…for a Burton! Go for a Burton!”

Roadhog’s eyes widen with shock and disbelief. The Queen really did betray him. He should have never trusted her, but he was foolish enough to believe that she was 'innocent.' He then squeezed once again until he said something else, “That phrase was used while talking about your bounty. Someone put up a decent reward for your body—alive or dead. The Queen thought that Junkrat managed to kill you hours ago and sent us to collect your lifeless body. Guess she was wrong about that. If you still don’t believe me, I still have information about you. Now, how about you-.”

Before he could even finish the sentence, Roadhog squeezed until the guy’s neck snapped. He was beyond words. Beyond anger. He wanted to break everything in this building. What he really wanted was to snap the Queen's neck. At the moment, however, he was focused on seeing what she knew about Roadhog. The dead guy with the broken neck was right about having the information as Roadhog found a file on him. He set it on the counter and started to read it. It was detailed his strengths and weaknesses, what kind of weapons he used, and what his motorcycle looked like. Without a second thought, Roadhog angrily threw it to the dying campfire. He didn’t want to know more.

Then, he saw that Junkrat was still tied up to the pole next to the other dead guy. Now that Roadhog was also a wanted person, Junkrat seemed like the only option to survive. He has been outrunning or killing other bounty hunters for a month. Plus, it was suicidal and stupid to return to Junkertown. No doubt the guards would kill him in seconds. He walked towards Junkrat and uncuffed him while saying, “Show me where the treasure is. Then, we can talk details.”

Roadhog went to check if the men somehow fucked his bike up. Thankfully, it didn’t even suffer a scratch as he inspected it twice. He turned to Junkrat and said, “Before we go, I have to tell you something.” Roadhog grabbed the Junker’s arm, got close to his face, and stated “If you try to fuck with me, you will die painfully. Got it?”

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

So apparently this is a thing. Recent push for the 51st state of New California. Fun stuff. New California Declares Independence From Rest Of State.

@IceHeart

'New California' is like #Calexit, Six Californias, and Three Californias. They are failed attempts to divide California for various reasons like property taxes, differences (like political) between rural and urban counties, splitting up the fifty-five electoral votes, and securing countries that usually go for either Democrat or Republican.

It will fail and California will still be together. Then again, who knows. 2018 might just be as crazy as 2017.

Roadhog listened to Junkrat as he kept on pulling the chain that was keeping the rat in place. He was making an unsteady deal with nothing more than "trust me." Only idiots fall for it. Plus, the rat bit him. When Junkrat was close enough, Roadhog grabbed his head and smashed against a counter. That was payback from earlier. And Junkrat fell to the ground and cried as his head was probably hurting like a bitch. However, the bounty hunter didn't care about the rat and quickly checked outside. It was already night time, making traveling on a motorcycle dangerous. There were probably already bandits outside, making traps for their next victims. Especially tourists who avoided Australia's guidelines about the Outback.

He went back inside Junkrat's hideout and reached for his handcuffs. Then, he grabbed the rat's left hand and cuffed them to a wooden pole. Roadhog tightened the handcuffs to remind the rat that he was finally caught. Now, there was just waiting until morning and getting him on the motorcycle. The building was left abandoned with parts missing, but some things from the past reminded. It took a bit of looking around, but he found things to start a campfire. Something to keep them warm throughout the night. Once the fire was started, Roadhog sat on the ground and looked at the fire. While looking at it, he started to think about what the rat said earlier. How he was willing to give him a cut for however much the treasure was.

It was the most likely response for someone to use to plead for their release. Roadhog’s previous targets failed to convince him. He had been a bounty hunter for years, so he knew what his targets would do to save their own lives. But, something was different about Junkrat. He had something that was so important that everyone in the Outback wanted it. The files, from the Queen, didn’t give a description of the treasure. However, he didn’t see it anywhere in this old building. It must either be long gone or buried in his pockets.

Roadhog stood up, walked towards the captured Junkrat, and grabbed his face to look at him. Then, he asked the question. “Where’s the treasure?”

Mass Effect Andromeda: Frontier

Yanagita Shunji

Name: Yanagita “Kirin” Shunji; Kirin; Qilin.

Species: Human.

Sex: Male.

Age: Thirty-three.

Profile: Engineer (only tech powers, 2 weapons).

Appearance: Yanagita stood 6’ 2” and weighted around one hundred fifty pounds with a muscular frame. He was always told that he looked and sounded like his father according to relatives. He always maintained a healthy body and often worked out despite his prosthetic leg. The prosthetic leg won't be noticeable whenever he is wearing his armor around, but it becomes very oblivious in casual wear. Beside the leg, there wasn't anything "fake" about him.

Besides wearing his armor, you might spot him wearing a professional outfit or the standard Initiative outfit provided to everyone. And he tends to cut his hair short since he spent time with the Alliance (Artist: Lee Yong).

Background: Yanagita Shunji was born a year after the discovery on Mars to Nakagome & Yamaha. They both were scientists who were trying to extract any remaining technologies from the ruins. That was why Yanagita was born on Lowell City. Once the Alliance had no more use for the scientists, they moved back to Japan and began working for them more often. Yamaha became a recruiter for the Alliance's science department to care for her only child while Nakagome directly worked for the Alliance. Nakagome was one of the scientists that studied the Charon Relay when it was discovered to reactive it. However, Yanagita barely remembered his childhood expected on the day that the First Contact happened.

Nakagome had been working with the Alliance to active any deactivated relays that they found. However, they met resistance when reactivating Relay 314. The aliens, which were the turians, opened fire on the fleet and destroyed all but one starship. Unfortunately, Nakagome wasn't on the lone starship and perished. Yanagita and Yamaha did not hear about the attack until the lone ship returned and learned of Nakagome's fate. Heartbroken and angry, she developed a hatred for aliens, especially turians and wanted the Alliance to keep fighting them after Shanxi fell. While, Yanagita was heartbroken over his father's sudden death, but he never truly understood what happened until he was older.

Yanagita struggled without his father during his time in middle and high school while his mother found comfort with Terra Firma, an anti-alien political party. Yamaha soon became a key speaker for the party and attended rallies to spread Terra Firma's message. She often got into arguments about alien influences on humanity with protesters; however, that didn't bother Yanagita until he got into high school. In high school, students quickly learned about his mother and assumed he had the same beliefs. Thus, he had to deal with bullying and mocking from everyone. It wasn't until his last year in high school that he wanted to prove everyone wrong.

In order to do that, he had to confront his own mother while she was giving her usual speech on the ninth anniversary of the First Contract War. Yamaha was stunned and embarrassed that her own son would proclaim his support of aliens and say it on the anniversary of Nakagome's death. As if it wasn't enough, a picture of Yanagita kissing a turian went viral days after the speech. It was such a big scandal that Terra Firma denounced Yamaha and discredited her as a member. She never forgave Yanagita for dishonoring the family name and ruining her only source of happiness. When he turned eighteen and finished school, she kicked him out and told him to never visit.

With nowhere to go, Yanagita went to an Alliance recruiter to join. He got basic training before being placed in a division apart of the Alliance Engineering Corp. His division was responsible for maintaining defenses of colonies located in the Skyllian Verge against pirates and slavers. Whenever he was on military leave, he attended college in Elysium to get a degree in electrical engineering. Thankfully, Yanagita wasn't on Elysium when it came under attack during the Skyllian Blitz. The attack made him angry towards the pirates and wanted to fight back. And when he heard of the upcoming battle on Torfan, he requested transform to the 103rd Marine Division. The chain of command approved the transform and Yanagita left for Torfan.

The Battle of Torfan was a bloodbath for the Alliance while a massacre for the pirates on the moon. Hundreds of Alliance soldiers were killed during the push towards the base. And thousands got injured, including Yanagita, who had shrapnel in his legs due to an explosion. It was his first serious injury that he got during his time in the Alliance. He never regretted the decision to join the Marine Division but it was a wake up call. Once he got his degree, he decided to leave the Alliance and move into the Citadel. However, civilian life was difficult for Yanagita to get back. The Citadel was too peaceful for a military man, like Yanagita, to spend his remaining life. And he didn't have many friends in the Citadel until he met Sertius Quintis. Quintis was a C-Sec officer that met with Yanagita during his break.

Both Quintis and Yanagita were military men at a point in their life and went to the Citadel to retire; but, Quintis joined C-Sec to keep himself busy. After some convincing, Yanagita applied to the C-Sec's Network Division. It wasn't as fun as being part of the Patrol Division, but he knew that his skill would be best suited to deal with E-Crimes. For three years, he did his job for the Network Division to the best of his abilities without question. His superiors were impressed with Yanagita and gave him pay raises. And Quintis became a great friend to Yanagita. Life was comfortable enough for Yanagita until the Citadel was under attack.

Yanagita volunteered his assistance to the Patrol Division given his time in the Alliance. His superiors accepted the request and sent him to temporary join Quintis' unit. Both Yanagita and Quintis were tasked with escorting citizens to one of many safety zones established by C-Sec. The situation was getting better with the arrival of the Alliance fleet and the destruction of the key starship. Until pieces of it began to crash down on the station. One of the pieces from the massive starship crash landed onto the safety zone that Yanagita and Quintis were in. They were trapped under rubble for hours until C-Sec finally got them out and transported to a local hospital. Yanagita' left leg had to be amputated due to it being seriously inflected, while Quintis lost both of his legs. However, both men got free prosthetics because of their actions during the attack.

About a year after the battle, Yanagita learned about the Andromeda Initiative while reading chat logs of a weapons dealer. He found out that the Initiative was planning on leaving for an entirely new galaxy. It sounded more exciting than working at a desk and he missed his time in the Alliance. Then he told Quintis about the Initiative, who was doubtful about the whole thing. He didn't believe that the technology was possible to travel to another galaxy. However, Yanagita applied anywhere despite Quintis' warnings. His Alliance background and engineering skills. Then, he tried to convince Quintis to also apply for the Initiative. The turian couldn't stand leaving behind Yanagita and applied.

Next thing they knew, both men were accepted onto the Initiative and quit their jobs at C-Sec. Quintis got to say goodbye to his family in Palaven while Yanagita went to Earth, hoping to see his mother one last time. Sadly, Yamaha didn't want anything to do with her son; instead, he wrote a letter as a way of moving forward with his new life in a new galaxy. Both friends went on board the Nexus to begin their six hundred rest. Once they were awakened, everything that they had hoped for came crashing down. Then, Quintis was banished for his role in the Nexus Uprising while Yanagita was considering following in his friend's footsteps. That was before the Ark Hyperion arrived and quickly joined the APEX program.

Even known his close friend isn't with him, Yanagita knew that he needed to move forward.

Personality: Being in the military has made Yanagita into a mature and strict person. He's the one person that would be honest about any given situation and then provide a plan to deal with it. And with being a military person comes at a cost. Whenever he is in the heat of battle, he gets excited and all of his worried temporary disappear. Even if he isn't in the front lines. Once he is back in the Nexus or anywhere civilized, that excitement is gone and replaced with fear and anxiousness because he can't predict the future. It won't drive him insane, but it does bug him. He would spent time on his omni-tool or sketch to distract his mind.

Drawing was Yanagita's hidden hobbies and produced some decent artworks. He tried to keep it a secret because of a bad experience while in the Alliance. The only people that knew about it were his mother, some squadmates in the Alliance, and Quintis. When he was accepted onto the Initiative, he planned on being more open with his hobby. With the chaos from the Scourge and the Nexus Uprising, he hasn't have the time to draw something without being interrupted to help fix a new problem.

Reason for being awoken from Cryo (Specific jobs, skills, and Initiative Application): The Initiative required engineers to fix problems caused by the Scourge. Yanagita was one of the engineers awaken because of his engineering skills that were highlighted by his time in the Alliance and his electrical engineering degree.

Equipment: Naginata Sniper Rifle VIII, Hurricane Shotgun IV, Nexus omni-tool VII, and Light Freedom armor VI (in the color and with the golden markings from the picture).

Powers: Tactical scan, Sabotage, Flamethrower, Invasion, and Energy Drain.
