Vulture practically clung to her escort as they made the precarious walk across the dented hull, each faint creak or pop of the old, rustic metal caused the decker to jump slightiy in terror, already preparing for a long fall should the decaying structure decide to fail on them. A prospect that...
Jace gave a slight chuckle. "Might not be mysterious, but you're definitely interesting, a merc with two living parents and a decent childhood's a hard thing to come by, yaknow? Not everybody gets into this kind of business just for the love of it, and definitely not for the pay." she grinned...
The engineer's place was surprisingly quiet as Khalida came back out of the shower, giving her plenty of time to get acquainted with her journal. The samples she had on hand were numerous and fairly potent, no doubt there was something she'd be able to do with them, if the need ever arose...
Kaia nodded gently as the woman spoke, she really did feel for Khalida, she could hardly imagine being so far from home. New Demeter was Kaia's entire life, she'd grown up within these walls, rarely ever passing beyond them, and if she had her way she'd probably die here too. A lot of the...
"oh trust me, I won't be shooting" she retorted smugly, as if that was supposed to make matters any better.
A sharp gasp escaped her as she felt that hand grip her thigh, the two of them suddenly toppling over, dangling upside down from the nearby cable as her visitor began to inch his way...
Kaia's place was... admittedly not much to write home about. It was a nice-ish little abode built out of a bombed out building, the foundation already cracked and slightly sunken into the sand, giving the floor a slight unevenness to it. There was working power, though, hooked up to the town's...
Kaia gave a faint chuckle, deflating somewhat as the tension in the room seemed to dissipate. With a dismissive wave of her hand she made her way over to the couch, slumping down besides Khalida. "It's nothin', like I said, I just wanted to help. I've seen way too many people die out there in...
The raven haired woman stumbled backwards with a wide eyed look of surprise, gasping sharply as the knife whipped up just inches away from her throat. She quickly lost her footing, falling on her ass and just barely managing to save the plate of food in her hands. "H-hey! Watch where you're...
Jace chuckled faintly in response, giving a mock salute. "Yes ma'am~ I'll be on my best behavior" she teased, waving a hand to the bartender for yet another drink. Luckily, the raven haired woman wasn't in danger of blacking out just yet. She'd only just gotten started, sitting in that nice...
As Khalida began to occupy herself with checking through her belongings, another door opened creaked open from behind her. She could hear the heavy footfalls of steel toed boots before a voice spoke up from behind her, a deeper woman's voice, coarse and rough. "Oh, you're awake" she said...
The vast expanse of desert stretched out for miles in all directions, the sun gleaming off the sand causing a shimmering heat haze to hang in the air everywhere you looked, giving the Frontier a sort of dreamlike appearance as the landscape shifted and distorted faintly. When no other humans...
Kaia Levandi
Kaia hails from the town of New Demeter in the Scorched Frontier, where she works as an engineer, maintaining the important infrastructure that allows humans to live out in this hostile wasteland. A vast, hellish desert, the Scorched Frontier had taken the brunt of the fighting...
The decker looked at him with a mix of confusion and a slight bemusement. "Climb on... to your back?" she trialed off, as if not fully understanding the command. She hardly had the time to process the display as the goons below were just about finished interrogating the dumpster, so she did as...
Jace acknowledged her superior with a curt nod of her head, breathing a sigh. "I know, I know, I'm just bitching" she chuckled. "If I don't let this stuff out somehow it's just gonna stay inside and eat at me, yaknow? I'll forget about it by tomorrow, just let me soak in a lil' self pity till...
Vulture could feel her heart sinking down into her chest, could feel the sudden spike of her own pulse and the resounding tremor of her nerves that came with it. "Shit!" she exhaled, speaking in a harsh yet hushed tone. "You're fucking with me!" a hollow accusation, but it gave her time to...
The Black Flag, Aurora Space Colony, Pleirs-Trides Lagrange point L2
Prasinos Sector, Corporate Space
May 9th, 2684
The Black Flag was a dingy little hole in the wall, sequestered away in a less than reputable part of the Aurora space colony. The bar was hardly impressive by any stretch of...
Compared to the man in front of her, Vulture was practically nothing. She stood at a staggering five foot six with a rail thin frame, the corpo staple diet of coffee and synthcoke apparently suits her new lifestyle just fine. Her outfit, which wasn't too much of a deviation of the norm, could...
The pulsing, thrumming landscape of Cyberspace stretched out indefinitely in all directions.
A veritable wasteland of information as far as the eye could see. The nukes that'd sparked nearly a century of war had not been kind to the infrastructure of the first net. Server rooms, transmission...
Artillery hailed down over the battlefield, causing the earth beneath them to tremble from the weight of the supportive fire as Jace struggled to keep up against the three frontliners. Though it became apparent rather quickly that they were avoiding any direct fire with the Steel Talon pilot...
Jace braced for impact as the swordsman's alpha crashed against her shield, tearing through and hammering into the armor plating beneath before Jace had the chance to back off. She cursed under her breath as her display lit up with errors, the left torso missile rack was offline and she was...
