"Harley...but I go by Tranquility or Tranq for short. My expertise? I don't have an expertise....I guess I'm just muscle in some ways. I'm an adept."
Short and simple....she took the hand, merely giving it a dead fish shake before looking away, her tail swishing and swaying, thumping against the leg of her seat a lot.

Four-Eyes sighed as he rolled into the compound. While he did managed to get Bishop's stuff at Angel Falls and the Crime Mall (short of the pistol repair kit and the electronic kit; those were his, and he'll let the Limey know.) the little escapade back into the Cascades turned a little sour, despite being a success.
First Captain Bridges wanted to know just who wanted some sample, which led to one Edward Fox, Professor of parazoology at Seattle U. How did he even find out about where the Times's article was witnessed, he'll have to verify himself.
The Drive to the location was quick but a bit harsh (mornings are hell), and a few flesheaters have decided to make residence in the dirt pit, even going as far as adding a plywood roof to it. with the numerous body parts present, it was somewhat logical. The firefight was quick, what with Cold fury's moves with his machine pistol and good forest cover...but again, Four-Eyes lost, yet again, another brand new woodland camo jacket he just bought mere hours before.. At least the shotgun blast wasn't hurting that much. He needed a few days of taking it easy..perhaps spend fixing his damn Uzi that jammed on him..again.
At least he did get a few new contacts; cold Fury was an idiot, but he had connections. Errant was a Mage (always good, especially now) and nightshade wasn't just some pretty face; from her arsenal of knives she carried, she knew how to handle herself.
He drove back home for a shower and clean clothing, then made a stop to the Crime Mall for a urban camo full suit and some flashbangs. Bishop's tab was now 5200 Nuyen, including 500 extra for Four-Eyes 'cause he did all the work. Bishop's gear in his trunk he drove to the 'Commute' (worst name ever for a corp) and got inside, his jammed Uzi slinged over his shoulder, his new damaged woodland jacket and the firearms kits under his arm. This will help distract from the slight hurting sensation he gets when he breathes.
He just pushed the door inside to get bishop, like he'll carry all of his things inside alone, only to land on a dwarf talking to some freak with elf ears, grey skin with red stripes and a tail, a freakin' tail. It was somewaht exotic, but the damn wind panels on the side of her face was a mood killer. His hand jerked to his Deputy. "Who the hell are you two?"

"...new hires."
The dilated eyes jerked to the man when he came inside, but her ears were not just elven but actually seemed to prick up ever so slightly when he talked. Her nostrils flared for a moment before she grimaced.
"...and you smell like you've been in the wrong side of the city."

Four-Eyes' eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses. The woman had no magical itmes nor was using magic. The Dwarf was also plain.
"'Been to the only good place in this 'plex, just happens that it smells of sulfur a bit...You the one that met with bishop huh? He saw your shootin' skills yet?"
((Oh yeha btw..5800 Nuyen for all the stuff..now pay up Bish!))

"No he hasn't." Bishop cut in as he walked over. "I just sent you an email, did you get it?"
"This is Tranq - our new physical adept. I was just starting to put her through her paces when Meg cut in singing her praises - the decision was taken out of my hands. She's no worse than Five, at least..."

"Haha...got that right..damn poser...what a waste of good humanity that was..but ehhh...nah didn't looked at it really" He puts the kits down and showed his the front of the camo jacket he was hauling around; the front seems sherreded. "I was kinda busy dodging shotguns shells y'see..and I got your stuff in my trunk too..comes to 5200 Nuyen. got it all short of the electronic and pisotl kit; I got one of each, so yu can use that 'cept if you want some to call your own.....so 'Tranq' huh?...'guess we'll have to test run you, I don't want dead weights."
((Btw, this is a 'The Next day' kinda deal..was goen for the whole evneing night and morning...))

"..if it makes you feel better, I'm not getting a lot for this contract anyway...so you're paying for what you get."
Tranq stared at them both but remained silent for the moment as she watched.

"Oh great, cheap hired help..just how much are you paid anyways Tranq?...Wait don't answer that, I don't wanna know... anyways, if you did the tour, got rooms and food here, so at least you get free rent and hot food free...not all bad, got to see the good side of the deal in this...Look at me; 'bouth this here jacket this morning and 2 hours later it was ruined...sure it still cna be used, but not so muhc in public, and I don't have doctors and nurses trying to put my guts and everything back where they're supposed to be."
He takes a drag off his mentol smoke " 'Could be worse, 'least you're not whoring yourslef to some weirdos who's got some fucked up furry fetish or somethin' to make end's meet..."

Tranquility stared and now her eyes narrowed to mere slits like her pupils as her focus was on Four Eyes. If the girl had claws, they likely would be unsheathed...anyone with a clue could see her muscles tensed as if she were going to spring at the man. The tail lashed around, back and forth as she looked straight at the man...before she finally just closes her eyes and leans back against her seat...as if trying to maintain her calm.

Micro listens gratefully as Illiya explains what Micro can do and his new magical energies. I could learn a spell to save some money that would help. Micro thinks as the mention of learning spells pops up or I could just jump into getting my ally... No I think that will have to wait for more power to focus out a decent one. Micro does his best to think out his plan as Illiya give a guide to him, at the end of the conversation he gets hit with a question. Then does his best to respond with the truth as he knows it well trying to respect Megs privacy but still letting Illiya know what is happening.
Well I haven't seen any new parasites since the mines with the bug incident. If you have any info on a location of some I'll see if me and Four Eyes can get a team to look into them, but if I do happen to run across any more I'll let you know for sure. As for Meg dealings with Aztechnology I'm not to sure what is happening I know she doesn't want to deal with corps and tries to keep thing private, I do my best to do the job she hired me for and stay out of the big politics of her company, I'm only there for security. Sorry I can't give you more then that. Micro wonders why Illiya wants to know Micro doesn't want a comment in the newspaper about Meg and her company to come from him but at the same time he doesn't want to up set Illiya. Right now Micro only heard the Aztechnology corp name mentioned but wasn't really interested so is not sure what it was all about so he is not really lying.
Micro decides it is best to get on to the meta plane quest soon so he will have to set up some security for his meat shell well he is out. Thank you for the help Illiya I will do my best to put it to good use hopefully the next time I run into a nasty you are intrested in about I'll be able to come out of it less shook up then some of my last ones. Micro shakes Illiya's hand and gives her a bow then proceeds to get on his way. Give one last farewell as he leaves I'll see you later Illya.
Micro get on his Blue Bike and proceeds to drive back to Megs on his drive he can't help but think to himself. Illiya is a report I'm going to have to do my best to respect Megs privacy since she is my boss. I will do my best to help Illiya out with info on the strange but I'll have to let her know I can't talk to much about Meg's corp if it is brought up again, Job etiquette and all that
Micro arrives back at Megs a short time later. I hope telling Illiya Meg is trying to stay away from corp influence was not a big no no. Great boss, mentor dilemma. Micro parks his bike and enters the tent to see who he can find to help him out with his astral travel with security for his body.
As Micro walks into the galley he notices 2 new faces talking to Four Eyes. Ok who are the new guys, and wow I've never seen a Surge in person before only the info from text books at school. After Micro notices the Trang he looks over at the dwarf. Well lets see if this dwarf is taller then me too the last one was but he was a bit tall for dwarfs. Micro stands 5'2" with a brown pony tail, a black long coat and shades. I hope Four Eyes can deal with the Surge I know he has a bad time with Elves lets see how this goes.
Micro listens to the conversation then extends his hand to the new guys Hi there I'm Micro welcome aboard. Then turns to Four Eyes and bishop and asks If eather of you have the time I may need someone to watch my body well I leave it behind for a bit.

He looked at Tranq tensing up, then simply lcosing her eyes and leaning on the wall
Hit a string there it seems..
He took anohter drag, before tlaking, but this itme he was actually being serious "...'Hope Meg pays you to act when shit gets thrown your way, I'm not intrested in having someone who doesn't do anything when on security details; I suppose you're on trial period now..let's start with basics."
He reached into his urban camo jacket pockets and took out a pisotl an Ares Light Fire 70 and the mathcing silencer. "Meg might be all no fighting, but since it seems I ahandle the security side of things, I wanna see what you can do. Bishop, 'think you,re good for some sparring with Tranq here? I wanna see that adept power workin'..and how she handles a piece. too....you got your own Tranq..right?"
((OOC: Wrench, you'Re free to jump in too..just that you weren't online at the present moment those posts happened..))

“You’re the social type, aren’t you?” Wrench said to her with a friendly smile. “Regardless, hopefully it’ll be fun working with you. Otherwise this job is going to be long and boring.”
He looked up as the man with uzi and gun kits came in. “I the hell am Wrench. New rigger. And you the hell are?”
As he looked at the byplay between the second arrival he looked up. “Electronics kit? Whaddya need? I've got some toys.” And then grinned. “You are definitely the people person of the group aren’t ya, Mr. Smiley?” He didn’t plan on getting in the crossfire when Harley and this guy went at it. He wasn’t a combat type but he wasn’t backing down. “And yes, I damn well intend to call ya Mr. Smiley until I get a name.”
He looked up at the final newcomer. He stood up, his 5’ even stature coming just under the other’s. “Looks like yer not the low man on the totem pole no more.” Shaking the extended hand warmly, he responded. “I’m Wrench. New rigger. Oh, so Mr. Smiley is called Four Eyes. Nice to know.”
He reached into his own tailor nicely tailored long coat and pulled out an Ares Slivergun. “I’m not great with it; I’m passable. I’m always in my drones anyway. Which reminds me, I need to get some eyes in the sky. Outside of the no-fly zone of course. So what are your areas? She's an adept. And I'm guessing Micro's a mage.”
He looked around. “Anyone running point on this job? There are a couple holes and weaknesses I’ve noticed so far. And I haven’t been here too long. Figure we should do a sit down for that. Once we get various bullshit outta the way of course,” he added with a grin. Tense? Yes, but that was what made it fun!
Ooc: you guys posted fast; was offline for a few hours…
Oh, if anyone’s char has knowledge of combat vehicle sports, there’s a good chance Wrench will be recognized. PM me or Wolf if so.

Bishop turns to Micro. "How long are you planning on being out of town for? I have some work to do on my rifle, so if your place is comfortable and quiet you can count me in."
Once Micro had given him some more information, he joined back in on the discussion with Four-Eyes.
"Gear first, then sparring. We've already done that dance once and Meg was satisfied, but I'm interested in knowing what might happen if we aren't interrupted - after all, it's not every day you get to kick a adept in the backside."
Moving closer, he lowers his voice as he says something privately to Four-Eyes:
"Might want to cut down on the trash talk - she uses a bow so I'm sure I'll know who it was who shot you in the back, but at that point that won't be much use to you, now, will it?" He pulled away and smiled disarmingly at Four-Eyes.

Fake ID: 5[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] Store's credstick reader: 3[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
The credstick reader beeps as the clerk finishes punching Henri's order into the terminal in front of her. "Thank you Mr. Levin. That should be with you in three days, you can pay the remaining balance on delivery." Henri mumbles his thanks and leaves the store quickly, heading back to his small apartment.
After a quick call to the 'landlord' of his safehouse to make sure they knew he was still alive and weren't letting anyone else use his place, Henri hops the maglev to within walking distance of the big top. He identifies himself to the patrolling bots and makes his way to where the crew seems to have set up an ad hoc HQ. Upon seeing the dwarf and the...whatever the frag it was, he rolls his eyes. "More FNGs? Someone going to introduce us or not?" While he waits for a reply, Henri takes the liberty of reading both their auras.
Perception:[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] Aura Reading:[dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] ROS:[dice=6][dice=6][rand=521355280023599474300974507390951773763710709571633293332190031066]
