Skyla nodded. "Yes. Harbinger. He controlled an entire race called the Collectors... well, before I blew up their base, anyway..." Skyla hadn't known the Doctor for more than a few minutes, but she could already tell he wasn't going to like that...
My RP site. Please feel free to join!"..." The Courier's words actually made the Empyrean soldier freeze with shock. "Wait, what?" Seeing as it was the direct approach, the woman wouldn't exactly be able to not get it this time. "...Are you serious?" Her look of disbelief was evident on her face. "Why? I'm not good..."
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected."I doubt they even knew about it. I was working with a group called Cerberus at the time. Keyword is with." Skyla emphasized the word. "Anyway... The leader of Cerberus wanted me to keep it, yes. He thought they could use the technology in the base against the Reapers. I thought it wasn't worth it. Horrible, horrible things happened in that base, and I knew we could fight and win without it. So I blew the place sky high." She turned to Xigbar. "They were kidnapping colonists, putting them in pods and-" Suddenly she stopped, took a deep breath, calming herself. "They liquefied people. They liquefied them, and used the genetic material to make another Reaper."

My RP site. Please feel free to join!The Doctor slips into a phrase Shepard would know very well. "Tell me more about Cerberus."
"Cerberus? Why does that sound familiar?" Xigbar mused before continuing," Sounds like they didn't like having it gone." Not that it mattered to him anyway, but it make him curious.
Having heard what happened to the humans unfortunate fate, Xigbar stated " Wow, and I thought the experiments from my world were bad."

[DATA LOST]Cletus was disheartened at the Gunner's shocked expression before she asked about the reasons behind his feelings.
"Well... yes, you are Metaluca. You're fantastic. You're beautiful, you're the most intelligent person I've ever met, you have this air about you, and... it's just hard to explain, okay? This... this is part of the reason I'm having trouble coming forward about this. I have no idea how to phrase any of these confessions properly."
...and that's terrible.Picking up a rock, Snake Eyes threw it into the air. If it continued on the trajectory that he had worked out, it would land on the opposite side of Rey from Snake Eyes.
He cancelled this maneuver before performing it, seeing as Rey had moved. Sneaking up behind him, Snake Eyes planted his knee into the back of Rey's, placed an arm around Rey's throat in an attempt to cut off air supply and head butted him in the back of the head for good measure.

Shepard sighed. It seemed they (or at least the Doctor) hadn't heard what she had said about the colonists. Oh well. "A human-centric organization... A terrorist group, actually. A well-funded terrorist group. They think the Alliance is too politically centered to stand up to the other races. Really, Cerberus is just..." She shook her head. "And no, they weren't happy about the base being gone. But I was happy with the choice I made. What happened in that base was awful. Before I knew it, they would have been trying to build their own Reaper. I wasn't about to let that happen."
My RP site. Please feel free to join!Rey grunted when something suddenly grabbed him from behind, planting him on his knees and starting to choke him. He grunted, keeping his death grip on the photo he'd just been looking at, and for just a second wriggled futilely, but then immediately twisted as best he could with the headlock on and started trying to land elbows into the gut of whoever was attacking him, reacting out of instinct from his wrestling days rather than trying to use any of his weapons or powers.
Easing back into life one step at a time"He's called the Illusive Man. I don't even know his real name." Skyla looked at the Doctor again. "That's probably not very far off." She shakes her head, sighing.
My RP site. Please feel free to join!"No... I'm none of that. I'm just something that is a flawed reproduction of the original." Metaluca stated with a sad smile at Cletus. "And thank you for telling me... But I don't love you back." This was said direct and to the point. "I'm sorry." The apology was truly heartfelt, as the Gunner told the Courier exactly what she thought, her body language apologetic. "You should also get back to the castle."

Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.Rey wobbled somewhat in his position, obviously rocked from the hits, but he stayed upright, more or less, reaching back and scrabbling at Snake Eyes' face with his fingertips, accidentally dropping the photo to the ground as he kept struggling to try and get loose, though definitely weakening the longer the hold was on.
Easing back into life one step at a time"Care to elaborate on that?" Skyla couldn't help but notice that had been a very unclear question. She also laughed slightly at the remark Xigbar had made, she couldn't help it.

My RP site. Please feel free to join!"I'm... sorry to hear that." Cletus returned the sad smile before beginning to set off. He turned back fairly quickly. "I'm just going to say one thing before I go. As... well, hopefully we can still be friends. You need to stop judging yourself against whatever the original was. You're your own person. And you need to remember that."
With that, the courier headed off to the castle, dejected.
...and that's terrible.

Snake Eyes, unperturbed by the lack of response, went to initiate plan B.
It was evident this "Rey Mysterio" needed rest.
Walking up to the Doctor, Snake Eyes quickly signed "<Rey Mysterio needs rest. I shall be knocking him unconscious.>"
Then, using shadows for cover, he quickly snuck up behind the wrestler, waiting for the right time to strike.
