"You alright? He holstered his side arm. I didnt mean to offend or anything. Im sorry." he shook his head following her to wherever they were going. "Im jameson by the way, and you?" small talk for him came easy in the bar but outside the bar was sometimes a bit awkward and its been a while since hes been out on a mission. He stretched his mechanical arm out a small bit of whiring cam from its motors as he talked.

"Oh no, you didn't offend me in the slightest! I just don't know what the mission is that I'm excited for." Maria smiled. "I am Maria! Nice to meet you!" She examined his arm. "Mechanical arm? I've always wondered what it's like!"

Ooc: To be honest, the reason why I stopped posting for a bit was because I was a bit confused too, but my confusion is over xD

"Well its better than not having an arm or a leg, but if they break on the field your done for, i havent done any field work now for a couple years. Makes me kind of restless. Im always afraid of it but, whats the point of living your life in fear right?" he walked along and detached his arm from its metal socket to clean it one more time to be safe. "Do you wanna see it?"

OOC: Aye aye, S-G Ma'me!

Maria waved back. "There's Allison!" She exclaimed happily, a bright smile plastered on her face. She looked back at Jameson. "Yeah, I guess! Before my parent's died, or at least I assume, I was living in fear, but it's all in the past!" Maria's ears perked up again. "See the mech arm? Is that okay, I mean, I don't want to accidently break it or something!"

Alla came back a few minutes later with a visible med-pack and some extra bandages.

After Luciel's group was done with whatever they were doing, he stayed at the base, he knew he missed his chance to come along with Kiera and Xev, but Luciel heard there was another mission going on, so he'd probably join them.

I nervously swish my tail, back and forth as I speak. "What? No, no, nothings wrong, I'm fine. Why would anything be wrong? Nope all is well here. Nothing to worry about. Droplets of sweat cover my face as I struggles to remain neutral. Oh, hell, I say to myself, enough is enough. In a swift sweep, I wrap my arms around her, and kiss Ki, full on the mouth. My tail wraps around her waist and pulls her close as gazing into her eyes, I speak. I love you, Ki, I have always loved you, I just had trouble saying it,".

OOC: i am a bit lost. If you could pm me the recap or possibly assist me in where would be good to jump in.that would be lovely.

"Its not that fragile haha" he remarked, re-attaching thebarm he moved it around a bit. "He waved as well "hi there, so what kind ofbmjssion are you going on mate?" he gave a determined smile. Filled with confidence hebwould be able to preform, to hell with caution over some gears and motors, he may be a bartender but he will forever be a warrior. Although, the type of mission still was important, he took out his other ear bud so he could make sure he could hear her clearly. "Im jameson by the way" extending his hand for a hand shake.

"A pleasure to meet you, seems simple enough. When do we leave?" jameson hmput hisnhand in his pocket, "lets see, one quick reloader and 12 loose rounds, should be enough." he thought to himself, he hadnt actuall restocked munitions in a while, but eh in hus mind as long as he didnt get trigger happy he would have some to spare.

BASS awkwardly walked around the underground base. She looked even from a distance uncomfortable. She had only been there a few days and she was unsure how to interact with anyone and was scared shed be attacked. As she heard people talking she quickly ducked into a dark corner and sighed she wasent sure why she hid she just felt nervous. When she thought everyone had passed by she moved out of the corner quickly and slammed into someone. "Im sorry!" she panicked trying to stand and regain balance.

"Miss Ki, are you alright? I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. Did I do something wrong? Am I just too handsome, for you," I tease her, trying to ease the tension.

"I think we leave when everyone is ready. Plus, we need more members to go up with us, from my understanding." Maria replied to Jameson, ears twitching because she was happy to finally get fresh air.

"Whatever you say, Miss Ki. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Ki. I...Guess I'll wait for you to make your move, since I seem to be terrible at it," I say, standing beside her, and going quiet afterwards.

For a moment BASS flinched at her hand scared. She looked at her hand then for a moment confused. When she heard the concered tone in Allisons voice she felt even worse for bumping into her. She cautiously accepted help up. "I-im okay, are you?" she asked in a very soft tone.

Brutus entered the elevator and waited. When the elevator chimed he opened it up and walked out into a dark building and began scoping the place out. When it was all clear he progressed to the upper levels.

"Y-yes I am BASS" she said nodding at Allison. Her eyes glowed for a moment when she looked up and her ears twitched. "What is your name?" she asked curiously.

"Jameson, nice to meet ya." extending his arm out to shake her hand he put on a smile, a smile that had been practiced and refined behind his bar. Fake? No, alwaus sincere? No, but force of habit.

"I am Maria, and this is my older sister Alla," Maria said when she saw Allison looking at her, indicating she should introduce herself. Her ears twitched with wonder and excitement for the new member.

Alla nods. "Nice to meet you, I am Alla!" She gives a warm smile to BASS, the newest member.

I remain completely silent as I vanish into the darkness. What was I thinking? She must really... Ugh, I'm such an idiot, I think to myself.

Jake went around the underground base, looking for the members who were going to go out for a mission. He spotted Allison talking to a bunch of members, which probably meant a mission was about to begin. He slowly made his way over and waved at Allison.

"Hey Allison, I think Luciel wants to come with us," Maria said, pointing to Jake coming over.

"Go, Miss Ki, I'll see what I can do to distract them. I'll see you back at the base, once I have left them on a wild goose chase, or eliminated any that know too much. Go, I've got this," I say vanishing from view, and moving silently toward the soldier. Picking up some rubble, I toss it and knock down some boxes and debri, a few feet from the soldier.

OOC: should I jump back in by interrupting the guy?

As Ki grabs me and pulls me away, kissing me, I am taken back, but smile a little. So she does have feelings for me, well, I'm glad that it wasn't just one sided at least. Why was she so embarrassed before though? Thing would be revealed in time, for now we needed to move. I have a hidden entrance to the base through my chambers from a unlikely spot. I smile and kiss her back, my face growing red as I do. Still I am glad that my feelings a mutual. Using the shadows, I lead us away from the alerted soldier and toward our home as well as base.

BASS was taken off gaurd by Jamesons hand and flunched the lights around her speakers flashed for just a moment. She stared and cautiously touched his hand not sure exactly what a hand shake was. She then took a step back and looked at Allison "I could go with too. If thats okay." she said softly.

Maria nodded with alarm. "I think it would be better if you stay back and watch over us, Allison. You never know when a soldier could sneak up on us!" Maria smiled briefly, and ran up to the elevators, going to go through one of the exits to sneak up on the other side.

Alla looked at BASS, and smiled. "Of course you can come! We need all the help we can get!" After that, she ran after Maria, hoping to catch her before she went up to the elevator.

Jake nodded in approval. He'd gladly go. He walked to the closest elevator, and pushed the "Up" button, waiting for no one.

"Erm sorry in that dear, just trying to shake your hand." he withdrew his hand took the ear piece as he walked to the elevator. "Thank ye dear." he put his hands behind his back, he always had a bit of surprise feeling the cold metal fingers against his real ones. "bet it was the fake hand that scared her, better luck next time chap" he shook his head trying to shake off any internal distractions. "So just a few soldiers to deal with, then we come back grab some drinksm yeah?"

Within the shadows, I gently wrap my arms around Ki after pressing a series of stones in a specific order. The floor opens and we slide down a slide, toward my chambers, the secret entrance, closing behind us. I have yet to reveal to anyone, my past, but if Ki and I really love one another, she needs to know. When she asks me, I will tell her, but until then I need not think about it.

BASS took an ear peice and examined it her large cat ears flicked and she wasent quite sure what to do with it or if it would stay in her ear. The rims around her speaks flashed as she had an idea she hooked it to a little string and hung it around her large ear. She turned to allison quickly and pointed happily trying to get approval or possibly praise. She didnt realise yet but she was growing attached like a lost puppy to the first human who gives them notice.

Hawk had only stayed on the roof long enough to confirm their position through his scope. There was no denying that they could handle themselves, and there was no reason for him to keep an eye on them for now. Especially since the rooftop that looked strange was indeed a mirage, heat rising and playing with the light to deceive him. 'They'll be just fine. We should be able to meet up in a few yards even.' Hawk moved to the edge of the rubble and took a leap, clearing the gap to the next building.
Old, overgrown structures were hard to navigate, especially from an aerial perspective. Always shifty, misjudged. What may look sturdy might give way, and vice versa. The scout had trouble to this day with rooftop movement, but he needed to keep an emergency line of sight with his comrades. Hawk had also adjusted his course, wanting to rendezvous with them up ahead, and these building were ones he hadn't scaled much on his previous scouts. Short, stubby, long strips of wide open runway. He had to stay on course, one misstep could land him in some rocky situations.
It took little time for him to get into his new position, ahead of Kiera instead of beside her, respectively. 'They should be here by now... Whats taking those two so long?' he thought, perching and taking out his scope again. Looking through it, he traced his way back to the building he had previously seen them on. Still there?! And... Kissing??? "Seriously you guys? You couldn't wait until after the rounds?" He mumbled to himself and started to put his scope away. However, he spotted something that bothered him at last moment. One of the government dogs, back to him, staring at Kiera. "Dammit. Of course this happens." He groaned, ready to radio in just as Kiera and Xev started moving. "Just get somewhere safe you two, and be on your toes."
Alarms went off as he went into motion. The lone soldier still hadn't spotted him, which was a good thing. He sprinted on the rooftops, going along the very edges to keep a lock on the man. When he was close enough to jump, he whistled and jumped, knife drawn and poised at the ready. The soldier whipped around, arm raised as he was communicating, just in time for his chest to meet the edge of Hawk's knife, followed by the force of his fall, taking the man to the ground. He coughed blood and tried to speak, but was interrupted by the resonators on Hawks blade powering up, vibrating through to his vital organs. Hawk got up quickly, wrenching his knife from the mans chest and tapping on his communicators. "Come in Kiera, Xev. You guys better be safe." He spoke strongly, wiping his blade and going into motion again, heading toward the sirens and the faint sound of government movement. "I'm engaging the enemy, leading them away from our side of town. I'll keep them busy enough so everyone has time to prepare." His knife clicked as he hooked it to his belt, vibrations still on and clearly audible. "Keep radio silence. I don't want them tracing back my signal if they catch me..." He hesitated for a moment, reflecting on being caught. "Be safe... Hawk out." And with that, he switched off the power to his comms completely, running with only his own thoughts now.

OOC: hows that. I tried to catch up as smoothly as possible

"Oh right, sorry! I just got so excited that I ran off." Maria said with a sheepish grin. She took the ear piece and put it on her choker. It can't fit on her fox ears sadly. She made sure to keep a tight grasp on the other ear piece to make sure it doesn't fall to give to Jake. Maria made sure she could easily hear out of the ear piece, and talk, and then stood by the elevators, waiting for the others.

Alla put the ear piece in her ear, and smiled. "I kind of forgot about those! Thank you!" She then catches up to Maria and waits beside her.

Taking out my pistol, I fire a shot at a target symbol splitting the slide in two. My one leads to my chambers, while Ki's leads to the command center of the base. The two slides become tunnels as each of us cross scanners. As I reach the end of my tunnel and enter, my chambers, I walk over to my bed and lay down, placing my Berretta under my pillow as I fall asleep.

"aye thats good yeah." Jameson said giving BASS a thumbs up. he readied himself for what was to come. he cocked the hammer of his pistol back. waiting for everyone to get ready and to get out there. "whats the wait?" he moved around his metal arm, it always bothered him, maybe it was the wait, or the ghost pain of muscels that were no longer there. but it ALWAYS felt like it needed to stretch. but the feeling never went away, or if it did, it would only come back a few hours later. he held the pistol in his metal hand, the real issue was learning how to write again after getting the new hand. it was a very embarrassing ordeal, but at least now he has fine motor skill with it again.

"Yup, I am here," Maria replied. She scouted the area, looking to see if Jake was anywhere, but it seems as if he disappeared. "I can't find Luciel though."

"loud and clear!" Jameson said into the headset, "this is a simple hit and run with these scouts right? nothing too major." Jameson felt a small twinge of doubt enter his gut, as he felt his cybernetic arm he felt a little more fragile than he should. he knew that the arm could take a hit far worse than a real arm, same with his leg. Situations upon situations went through his mind as he awaited an answer. an almost dread like feeling crawled up to his heart. He tries to wave it away, and while it works, he still feels just a little sting of doubt.

"I can hear you" BASS said softly. She had been staring at the thumbs up from Jameson for quite some time she was unsure what it had meant but she assumed it was good. Lights flashed around her speakers a nervous white color as she waited. A soft hum of music echoed through her as she tried to relax.

Little does either of them know, I am watching them nearby. After resting as much as I possibly could, I left the base, slipping into the shadows and away. I may have messed up with my confession with Ki, but she and the other one are comrades f mine, so, I will not leave them. With a silent click, I am ready for action.

Hawk rounded a corner, cutting through a old shop building. He stopped at the threshold and peaked out toward the sound of the sirens to survey the area ahead. 'Three more scouts coming to aid their comrade. Sorry to tell you hes dead guys.' He twisted a dial on his chest, activating the speakers on him slowly. Music began to play quietly, the low drum of base shaking up dust around him. The soldiers stopped, their interests extremely changed to the intricate sound. They came closer, and one peeked around the corner. He was met by the barrel of a gun. "At ease soldier." Hawk said with a grin and fired, grabbing the body by the collar and throwing him against the other two as he jolted out of the building. The soldiers barely had time to react, one dropping his gun and the other shooting into the air as the body hit her. Hawk was on them at once, putting two bullets in the clumsy one and gripping the woman by the throat. "Tell me what mission you are on. How many are being deployed just now." He questioned in a gruff voice, the tip of his knife pressing against her chest.

I move in closer, using the darkness to hide my presence. My deep, dark midnight blue eyes glisten in the dark as I watch all that is going on here. I sheath my Berretta for now, ready to draw it at a moments notice. These are my friends and I will not allow any harm to come to them.
