Mass Effect RP 2

"So you kick ass for your job, and then on your downtime, read about kicking ass?" he said jokingly. "One of these days you're going to hit an ass-kicking limit, you know that right?" he said with a grin, leaning on the wall.

"I don't kick that much ass." Una said with a shrug. "Plus, there's something refreshing about the villains in these things." She put the book down on her desk, leaning back, if she was going to be distracted in her highly important job, she could just as well get comfortable.

Kate was at a total loss for words. So she just said nothing. It was exactly what she needed, to hold someone who she loved and who loved her back.

When she sat back up, tears had streaked down her face.

-Jeko sat down at his coumpter, he was still trying to cope with being told he will die, but he figured that it was more important to stay on top of things, maybe get a last mission in, and he checked his emails-

Dear Captain Irehu: Here are the omitool upgrades that you have asked for, though it took a lot of strings to pull to get them, i think you will find the newest feature to be, quite exciting

"Oh please, we blew the gates off an Earth mansion, stormed a terrorist base, took down a cult... We kick plenty of ass." he said, counting on each of his fingers. He glanced down at the book, intrigued. "How'd you get a hold of that book, anyway? I barely ever see honest-to-god, real paper anymore," he said.

"Some sort of promotional deal, I think." Una said. "Rano wouldn't shut up about it. I've got the sequels in digital form, though. There are limits to the novelty."

"Is it something you'd recommend?" he asked, quite seriously. He hadn't read a good book in... years. It wasn't like he didn't have the time, either.

Thank you Kelmen, say hi to the boys for me, ok. I email you later ok, we need to talk.

-Jeko sent off the message, and sent the omitool upgrades to his teammates, each with a new combat blade to there tools-

"Right, lets go see the crew for a bit i guess"

Una hesitated. "It might not be your bag, they are kind of..." She stopped, searching for the right words, there was subtlety here she had to portray. "Garbage... Yeah."

Jordan, at this stage, now truly felt bad for Kate. For now, he just sat there. She needed someone to lean on, and he'd be there.

Finally entering the Med-Bay, Lucas looked around. There was no sign of Marik, just a Turian and Salarian whom he didn't recognize on the beds. Thats odd, he thought. Marik wouldn't leave these guys alone, would he? His eyes came to rest on the door to another section of the Med-Bay, closed. Lucas stepped forward cautiously, not wanting to interrupt anything if Marik was busy.

"... Marik?", he called out, slightly. "You there?"

Deimos chuckled. "Ah. I see. I'll take your word for it, then," he said. Switching topics, he said: "Must be nice to have something to just put your brain on autopilot for a while. Distractions from all the utter mayhem that's been going on lately," he said, crossing his arms.

"I remeber it clearly like it was yesterday. I remember 11, John, Dad jumping in front of Elizabeth when he saw my scope. I remember putting the lethal bullet in him."

Kate shuddered at the thought.

"And then I tracked her down. I chased her into her home. It was run-down and it was a mess. If I'd have stopped to think I might have felt sorry for them. And then I brought the house down on top of her. That was my twelfth kill. Mum, number twelve. Just like me."

That confirmed it.

"You were brainwashed? And killed your parents? Holy fuck."

"Yeah, there's always that." Una said. "It's been crazy lately, haven't it?" She rubbed her forehead, ever since Elysium, things had been more complicated... or maybe that was just her, her mind had been a bit of a mess since Elysium, so maybe that was it.

Marik vaguely heard Lucas call his name, bringing him out of his stupor.

Putting on a smile, he opened the door. Sure enough, there was Lucas.

In a falsely chipper voice, he said, "Hey there, Rook! What can I do ya for?"

"That's the worst part of it. I hated them. I wasn't brainwashed. I just had half of the information. I wanted them dead and I didn't know there was anything else to it. I wanted my parents to die by my hand."

"That's an understatement," Deimos muttered. "Not to mention we're opening our doors to hire complete psychos, apparently. Ship life is kind of starting to grate on me," he said honestly.

"I just came to... speak with a fri- What were you doing back there? Something wrong?", Lucas asked, jumping to another train of thought. Marik wouldn't be in a closed room while patients were there, would he? Wouldn't he keep the door open in case? This seems like a bit of a long shot...

Jordan was completely speechless and he held Kate tighter.

Holy fuck. Holy fuck. Holy fuck.

"Two in a row, too." Una nodded, she had to agree. "Then again, you hired me at some point, and I turned out ok... so maybe they'll work out somehow." She smiled slightly, it was somewhat uncertain as to if she was joking or not.

Marik chuckled. "Not at all, I was taking a break. I guess I have just been working myself into overload lately, I guess." His subconscious scoffed at him. As if, failure. "I mean, I just saved that turian from a serious poison, been keeping him and the salarian stable, and then Una brought in an engie who thought it was a good idea to try punching out a turian! Funny how that stuff stacks up on you."

The Doctor quickly scanned his patients and was relieved that his absence hadn't allowed any harm. Well, at least you protected the criminals, loser... Looking up, he said, "So what did you want to talk about, Rook?"

"Nah, you're great, Una. Hardly a fair comparison," he said with a grin.

Jake have had been watching Lucas in the sim room through the consoles and smirked "I see our psycho is actually pretty good." He inserts his own settings and enters the Sim room. Around him a labyrinth takes form and Jake can hear various alien noises around him. He goes hunting.

"I'm great now yeah." Una smiled a little. "Thanks to much hard work by myself and others to make me into the warm and cheerful person I am today." She reminded herself to rein in the sarcasm a little, at least as long as she was talking about herself.
