Xiuhcoatl was thankful for her mask, otherwise, her face was red with a mix of anger and embarrassment as she listened to Aesir retort back. It was clever to hide any perceived insult under a careful and measured tone. It didn't help that the king had also sided with the Varangians in this...

It took all of Guizhong's focus not to squeal with delight at the feast before her. Exotic foods of all sorts laid before them. And who wouldn't want to try such unique cultures? While the kingdom certainly tried its hardest to sate her tastebuds, nothing could truly beat the real deal...

Although her visage hid any reactions to the statement, she did flash a sly smile at the sorceress. Cihuacoatl. "If you are so concerned, Cihucoatl, initiative is always a desirable trait especially when enacted independently." Eztli understood hierarchy. One could even say she was the model...

The Turquoise Serpent tossed and writhed in her bed. She dreamed of home. The humid jungles. The echo of busy streets. Anger and laughter. The dust and dirt sticking to her robes. In some ways, Zarim was similar to her home. But Teotl's seat of power...that was only her last home wasn't it...

Larsen had to agree with Barnes. She was being unusually calm about this situation. It wouldn't do good for her cover if she started acting like she wasn't a starry-eyed rookie. Then again, this wasn't your average situation. Adjusting the cam, she sighed and gave a knowing smile to Barnes...

Larsen had been admittedly quiet. She was still with Barnes, having joined the SRG as Marine reinforcements. All the while, keeping herself appraised of the reports. ONI research station. Admittedly, the clearance might even be beyond her if she was honest. But a spy embedded in the ranks to...

Larsen analyzed the results of their suppressive fire and while no Covies were struck, they were taking cover. In it's own way, Larsen had to give it up to Barnes for at least doing something that mattered. Her expectations were usually set low despite an otherwise shiny disposition. Positioning...

Sometimes an impasse hurt worst than a defeat. In defeat, there was certainty. It’s what guided wars. The illusion of certainty. Certain of one’s capability. Loyalty. Values. What you were laying your life on the line for. Certainty was a rare commodity right now. The enemy was pushed back, but...

"When we're done, it's going to be their blood all over that wraith." Jackie chuckled, ducking and firing from her position. "We gotta be ready for suppressive fire for that Jackhammer, Barnes! Steady your shots, don't waste it!" Jackie was worried. If the Wraith decided to fire at the...

"Just hold tight Barnes! Be smart!" Jackie took a cover position, firing with the ODSTs during the intermittent pauses of plasma. This was a large push, and the Wraith was going to mow them all down unless someone had a better idea. If this was a straight fire fight, they'd have advantage. But...

"I don't know Barnes, UNSC is still a better career path than what I had back home. You call these rations bad, I'd say this is passable with a capital P." Jackie started munching on her sandwich, a smile forming on her lips. Rolling her eyes as her partner once against trotted the fine line...

Pvt. Larson smiled at the mention of being a lifesaver. "Awww well, ya' know how it is! Can't leave my partner hanging!" However, that smile quickly turned into an "Barnes! C'mon!" Jackie turned red. "You know better than to piss those ODSTs off. That's the second time this week I busted you...

Jackie Larson had one thing going for her as a combat camera specialist: she was not Barnes. Although she wasn't as noisy as Barnes, Jackie made up for it by being easily distracted by whatever MRE was being distributed, who was getting what, what gossip was there, and her own self-proclaimed...

Charlotte rolled her eyes at Dean’s orders. “My helmet is ALWAYS on, sir.” As Paige stepped on the gas, Charlotte was already loading in a magazine into her weapon system, peering out of the window. "Paige, the team is heading from this direction, we should cut them off. And for once I regret...

Charlotte had to crouch to avoid hitting her head on the roof of the van, a silenced M6C/SOCOM in her hands as she waited for further orders on extraction from Dean. Meanwhile, her partner on this current endeavor, Paige, was holed up alongside her, equally cramped. "Eager to show off for the...

As Cade scaled the scenery, her mind went back to the tap and nod that Reb had given her for good luck. She wondered if perhaps she should have returned the gesture. After all, Cade was nowhere near the compound itself. She wasn't going into a firefight. If anything, she'd be shooting from a...

Cade didn't mind the fall. For her, it was a moment of meditation. Where she was by herself and had the ability to therefore act herself. She hummed a little tune as they descended, the giant pods accelerating towards who knows what. The jolt of the rough landing was less than desirable. But by...

"Fireteam Mercury" Perspective, she found was always an alluring factor in determining strength. She'd only grown taller as time went on, and after extensive training, she'd never truly gotten out of the habit of just silently...watching everything. Although nowadays, she found it more amusing...

Cadence turned when Sasha offered her thanks, and gave a small nod. The man was on the ground, whether he had been hurt beyond repair or not, it didn't matter. He was no longer a threat. That was the victory. That was what they were taught. Even if Cadence found herself wishing for the end of...

Cadence on point. Heaving a small sigh, Cadence nodded and prepared herself for the course. The wall was rather easy for her. Not a lot to scale for someone of her height. However, by that time, she noticed Sasha dipping in and out of the poles and maneuvering like an agile cat scurrying through...
