Does anyone have any ideas? I really dont want to have to leave this one.
Saris and Laurence




Laurence had finally decided to put his armor on, after many irritated noises from Saris, who was still at his desk. During that time, he had zoned out the noises from the screens, preferring to make sure that his armor would hold, his omni tools could both work properly, and he hadn't picked up one of his deliberately sabotaged guns. He really needed a system for warning about that.

Even so, he hadn't been able to take much of his weaponry here from the ship. A cerberus harrier, painted black and modified with armor piercing and thermal clip extension mods, an AT-12 Raider shotgun, Batarian made (ironically) and an M-5 Phalanx heavy pistol. All of which...modified, to his own liking.

Saris didn't even look up from his work as Laurence walked past him towards the door. There were sounds of footsteps outside. Saris had locked the door, but he didn't fancy them blowing it open. There was expensive equipment in this room, Saris had spent enough money today.

Laurence raised his pistol, the omni-tool on his hand taking the form of a Batarian enforcement gauntlet.

Saris pressed a button, remotely unlocking the door.

Laurence kicked the door open with his foot, it swinging open and knocking a blue sun into a wall. Before the other five members of the squad could realize what had happened, a gigantic armored shape strolled casually through the doorway, and shot the stunned blue sun in the head with his phalanx.

The others opened fire. Two assault rifles, three shotguns, all aimed at a single target. It should have been a slaughter.

It was.

A jet of fire burst from Laurence's omni tool, enveloping two of them in a storm that burned clean through their armor, melting it to the also melting flesh inside. Laurence didn't even bother to deliver the coup de grace, instead strolling past the shrieking mercenaries, pulling his harrier and aiming it at his next target.

A Turian, female, tech armor indicating them as the squad leader. Despite being less then four meters away, Laurence's rifle burst missed her head, instead proceeding to strike them in the shoulder, tearing away tech armor, real armor, and flesh, sending the scaled arm falling to the floor, with the squad leader closely following, clutching a stump on their arm.

Laurence, like before, ignored her, and dashed forward, his gauntlet smashing into a merc's face and slamming it against a wall, causing his skull to come apart like a grenade. In a instant, he dropped his harrier and formed the omnitool on his other hand into a forked blade, which he drove straight into the chest of the fifth, and last of the mercenaries. He pulled the impaled blue sun close to him, trying to listen to the last, dying words, only to realize that the sun wasn't going to say anything with a omnitool through the heart and lungs.

Letting the corpse fall like a piece of trash, he looked around. The burning duo had stopped, evidently either dying from the heat or heart failure from the stress of burning alive. Perhaps it had been a mixture of both.

The squad leader was still alive, crawling towards her severed arm, which had landed about a metre away. Laurence walked over her, kicking the arm away, and sighed.

"Turian, before i kill you, i just want you to know. I'm the one you want, or maybe one of them. The anti-Batarian terrorist you were warned about. You could have lived like a queen for catching me."

He smiled under his helmet.

"But you fucked up. Threw it all away."

His omni tool once more took the shape of a flamer, and...

Shortly afterwards, Laurence realized he didn't really know his way around the offices. He had just followed Saris around for the day he had spent here. Briefly wondering if he should contact Saris for a building layout, and briefly wondering where the closest enemies were, when some random human blue sun thought he would be a hero, ambushing him with an omni blade. Said blade scuffed off Laurence's wrists, and, with a straight face, Laurence proceeded to grab the blue sun by his neck and, motors in his armor straining, smashed him into a nearby wall. He expected the merc's neck to snap like a twig.

He was wrong.

The wall almost shattered, the unfortunate merc going almost clean through it. Laurence stopped for a moment, processing what just happened, before climbing through the hole himself, pulling another small part of the wall down to help his armoured bulk get through.

"No wonder Saris got this place so cheap, did they build it with hardened vorcha shit?"

The merc was on the floor, half concious as Laurence walked up to him. Laurence stared down at the merc for a moment, ignoring everything in the room around him as he felt a small sense of deja vu, and brought his boot down on the blue sun's neck. He felt something struggle underneath his boot, and did it again. And again. Fourth time was the charm, and he felt something snap. He wondered if the merc had already been dead when his neck brok...

Oh.

He looked up, seeing several people that didn't look like Blue Sun troops. Not that it stopped him from resting a hand on his pistol. This must be the help. Two kids and the possibly STD affected Asari. He felt safer already.

He stood up straight, his boot meeting the floor instead of a neck, and waited for them to comment on his situation as people so often did.
@Zanavy

Im assuming its either bots or the people really want this to start again. xD
Saris and Laurence


Saris had left the security screens, checking something about the incoming Blue Suns. Laurence, being Laurence, didn't care. After much persuading from Saris, he had finally agreed to put his armor on. He was in the process of doing this when he noticed people talking on the screens. Not really caring about his armor as much as he should, he couldn't help but look.

What he saw surprised him. Children? Saris was hiring them now? Granted, they sometimes had useful skills, but they usually got in the way. Not to mention all that nonsense about how children shouldn't kill, or whatever it was all about.

The next two he noticed, on the other hand, intrigued him a great deal more. A Quarian, in some sort of yellow suit. Quarians werent usually good for hired muscle, so he wondered what Saris wanted with this one. Maybe they needed a ship engineer or something. After all, wasn't that what most Quarians were supposed to be good at? The other was an armored figure, most likely female by the...build of it. The armor wasnt something he had seen before, he would have to check on it later. Assuming she survived.

Finally, he noticed another few people on different screens. A green Asari? He had never heard of that before. Was it some kind of weird fashion that was going on at the present? Or did Asari turn green from disease or something? Ugh, hope that wasn't the case. He had heard of all sorts of unpleasant diseases Asari could catch. Mostly sexually transmitted ones. Being compatible with most races must have had its downsides somehow...

Batarian.

Laurence hadn't noticed the other alien there, so fixated on wondering about what made the Asari green. But then he saw him. Laurence's already pale face went a even lighter shade, and he found himself instinctively touching his eye socket.


"Fuck."


He knew Saris wasn't stupid, this Batarian was probably a well known mercenary or some shit. But if this...thing knew the bounty on his head...would he turn on the team? Take him to the Hegemony?

Laurence let a grim smile escape his lips as he imagined how that betrayal would end.

Realizing that they were talking about something, he turned on sound. Hearing what they were saying, he had to stifle laughter, in case he accidentally turned the intercom on. This six-eyed fuck had a bounty on his head too, that sounded like fun. Perhaps that could be useful if he did betray them after all. Granted, the Batarian handled himself well. Better than Laurence would have in such a situation. The walls were clean, for starters. And it turned out the woman in full armor got protective of the kids. How sweet. Unless it was sarcasm, it was hard to tell with the bad sound. They got to planning, and Laurence got bored, pushing his chair from the screens.

Saris was still looking at his terminal, typing something, barely looking up as Laurence lay back in his chair, clearly bored and completely forgetting about his armor. Until something on one of the screens caught his eye.

"...Saris, did you invite a Geth here?"

Laurence got up from his chair, switching the vid screen off and marching across the control room to the window overlooking the main hangar. 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.

" [Hhhkk...]Haven't you got much better things to do now? That vid screen was giving me a...[Hhhkk...]headache."
Laurence looked at him as if he were stupid.

"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?"
"Two hundred... [Hhhkk...] soldiers, mainly human and Turian, multiple gunships, and at least thirty... [Hhhkk...] mechs. Not sure what kinds..."

Laurence sighed, and banged his head against the glass of the window.
"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..."

"[Hhhkk...]Ssssh." Said Saris Fen, looking at a nearby screen and chuckling slowly to himself. "They are arriving, i must not have noticed when we were talking..."

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. "They don't look like much. I cant even see any Krogan yet."

"Neither do you, out of your armor. Though I suppose Krogan might like the [Hhhkk...] missing eye..."

"Fuck you."

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.

"Greetings, everyone!" a voice boomed out from comm units all around the port, enough for anyone inside to hear.

"My name is Saris Fen, i sincerely hope you are here for the offer that i...[Hhhkk...] 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 ...[Hhhkk...] 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...[Hhhkk...] do anything. I am a businessman, and must make sure that my investments are......[Hhhkk...]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...[Hhhkk...] here.

I have wished to burn the tail of the ...[Hhhkk...]...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...[Hhhkk...] test you, it will be a blessing in disguise. You will defend this place, and kill every single blue sun that you see. They...[Hhhkk...] 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 ...[Hhhkk...] have ten minutes until the suns arrive, so load your weapons, ready those omni tools, and ...[Hhhkk...] maybe learn the names of those you are fighting with. Whatever ...[Hhhkk...]works for you.

If you have any questions, i will be more than happy to answer them following this inconvenience. Good luck...[Hhhkk...]everyone!"


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.

"Are you going to tell them you tipped the blue suns so they would come here?"
Saris laughed.

"Not until the suns are gone, release that little tidbit of information, and they might get it in their minds to ...[Hhhkk...] shoot someone else."
