Garian saw the flamethrower person and aimed his gun at him, he made a quick precision shot at the tanks on the Krogan's back before ducking into cover, hoping he had hit it. While in cover, he reloaded his gun and prepared himself for another attack.

Yuuko quickly entered the elevator, and pushed the top floor room before manually closing the doors. Better not have any passers-by. Once the doors were closed and that familiar but somehow ever odd feeling of the elevator starting to go up it her, she let out a big sigh and slumped with her back against the iron wall. Anthony and here usually had this routine; he'd make the bait, she'd make the shot; but never before had they actually lost sight of one another like this. Moving from one building to the next, probably taking only six minutes at most, felt like ages to Yuuko. She'd never admit it that bluntly, but now that her family was gone he was all she had. And, she allowed her to think, all she'd ever need. Her cheeks blushed slightly and she quickly straightened herself out with a frown; showing weaknesses could be deadly to an assassin. Who knows, maybe someone was watching through the camera in the elevator and noticed her frail state.
With a suspicious eye on the camera now that she had thought that, she heard the soft blimps of floors coming and going. Blimp, eigth floor. Blimp, ninth floor. She had stopped counting at four already, knowing that the elevator itself was perfectly able to find the roof. Instead she tried to picture the scene before her; looking through the scope of her rifle, seeing the mark standing on the balcony no doubt vividly explaining Anthony why he was a big dog and how he had gotten his money so fast. In those kind of circles, it was always about money. Then, as her scope would be zeroed on to the man's chest, she'd give Anthony the sign. a second to allow him to cover his ears and look the innocent, before squeezing a round. They'd rendez-vous in front of the Marquis hotel, the one Anthony was in, and together they'd make their escape. 'If anywhere, that's probably where the shit will hit the fan' She figured, knowing it would be quite chaotic for Anthony to get out of there. She trusted him though.
She looked up as the door went open, and she arrived at the top floor. Now all she needed to do was to find the maintenance door leading to the roof...

Claire coughs as she breathes in some smoke. "Come on, you shouldn't stay here. Let's keep moving." she says.

Coughing Tu'Vak nods begining to walk up the train.

Josephine nodded calmly to Jessie, her face remaining neutral.

"It's one of the most appealing cathedrals I've ever had the fortune to step into." she said sentimentally and remaining quiet from thereon. It seemed that favorable opinion would be the answer to Jessie's question. The young woman surveyed every facet of the interior with great intent, admiring the age that had long bronzed the old stone and gently-sculpted metal decorations. The stained glass windows, too cast somber rays of light over the pews for pleasant effect.

She paused at the head of the cathedral, seeing a man dressed in robes stepped down from the altar. She nodded her head.

"Hello. I'm Josephine, and this is Jessie." she introduced herself, indicating to Jessie as well.

"Your cathedral is very well kept." she complimented.

Ravier gripped Saeko's hand with his right hand. Looking up to her beautiful face.

[Zender_Solarheart]

"Aye sir." Jon replies, then continues: "We encountered unknown hostiles on Klastas II, piloting mechanized vehicles...powerful ones, too. Fighters, rockets, tanks, rail cannons...we threw everything we had at them, but it didn't even slow them down. The Mass Relay was destroyed so that they couldn't use it against us...but if we went back there right now, I think we'd find a ball of fire and glassed land where it used to be..." Jon's voice grows grim with the memories...those things hit them like trucks, and all the artillery they had did absolutely nothing to them. Hell, even a battleship got scrapped by those weapons...

"Be that as it may, however, I wouldn't put it past those things to find an alternate route to follow us with. Whatever they were, they attacked us unprovoked and without warning...and I get the feeling they're gonna try it again. If so, we need to be ready for them...I haven't seen tech like that since the Vikings were running wild..."

[jayjaycaps]

Argo slammed his fist onto the table. Grabbing a shotgun from underneath the desk, he pumped it once and smiled at the sound it made. He loved that sound. The sound of s freshly pumped shotgun, and a soon to be dead body. He stormed out of his room, and heard the ongoing battle around him.

"Krogan! Arm the turrets, and grab your guns! Crush the intruders, or I'll crush you!" He braked at the few Krogan not doing much around him. He ran with them, up to where most of the fighting was going on. Ducking around a corner, he peeked around, trying to get a better view at his targets. He smiled again, the feeling of adrenaline and blood lust seeping into his veins.

@Ikechi, In a Harpoon Pod outside of the planet Soulas Das-Nobu -- Crash course towards a shuttle.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Susan held close onto Emile, hearing how the assassin used blades and moved fast so she should probably stay back while he engages him or her in close quarters.. And that they have to be careful where they shoot since it's a shuttle with civilians on board nonetheless, an assassin merging probably between them.. Thus 'melee' being the best form of engaging the situation.. Huh, weird.. Was the arm of his around her waist now a bit lower?.. No, couldn't be.. Unless.. Yeah, he was capable of that.. Oh how she hated the harpoon pod now..

Then Emile so 'worriedly' let her know that the pill had three possible side effects.. Well, he said that the side effects were Increased Libido, inso- INCREASED LIBIDO? What in the skies?.. Oh that son of a moon.. But focusing again on the 'possible or actual side effects' now, they could be Insomnia, arm cramps or Increased Libido.. She better not get that one, or else.. Worst nightmare for her, right there.. Wow.. But he chuckled anyways! Wow! If any head is getting ripped off, it's his!..

''If any head is getting ripped off.. It's going to be yours if those pills have any side effects on me.. Can't you afford any proper pills? I know you have the money.. Grinning clown..'' Susan muttered the last part, getting squished tighter against Emile as they were about to 'crash' into the shuttle anytime soon..

-I'll leave the 'crashing' entrance up to you, eh? I guessed Susan wouldn't be rolling around and shooting any assassins like if she were any kind of Special Ops! x3-

You see one or two guards around calming people down, themselves looking scared like a cat in the middle of a street.. The power was truly dead.. Screams came from one side, probably a worried woman.. Everything seemed to go in slow motion when.. (Sorry if this post seemed short, I'm depending on Emile's next post a bit~)

Your efforts to shoot at the Krogan's tanks on his back bore a few fruits.. Although you're not sure if you hit the tanks in reality or some metal somewhere on his armor.. Nonetheless, a couple of your 'teammates' pick up the idea and begin firing on him, making his job seem as dangerous as it should be as he's the 'high-priority' target now.. Alas, somebody gave his tanks a good hit!.. Making him shake and roar wildly, trying to set the whole runaway a blaze before beginning to ram his way towards them.. *A good shoot towards his helmet is made and the infuriated Krogan fell onto the hard material of the runaway.. Blood splattered everywhere.., now's the chance! Onwards!..

To Argo's avail, these 'attackers' weren't your everyday 'friends'.. No. They looked and were professionals, deadly and efficient merc's or troopers from some.. Organization..

His fellow Krogans around him roared as well and joined him in battle, a couple moving along the battlefield with her heavy machine guns as others had assault rifles or even shotguns.. From what it seemed, the enemies were circling them up on the runaways while a main force was pushing forward on the ground, where most of the Krogan forces were holding their positions with great strength.. If the enemy conquered the runaway and circled them, cover would be no good or highly ineffective.. On one side however, the most toughest of them all had already taken over most of the left runaway, laying heavy fire upon his left flank while the right runaway was.. Having it's deep troubles still.. Where the turret tower was located.. Which would soon fall if they kept up the pace.. Argo's sister was somewhere between the roars and bullets, pumping her own bullets into an enemy trooper's face..

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The insides of the train shuttle begin to creak as Tu'Vak walked further into the train.. Smoke and pale air filled his lungs, fire lighting up the hallways as if they were in the wreckage of a shot-down shuttle.. Before they'd get onto the next 'wagon', the automatic sliding doors are a bit cracked but jammed.. Sparks slightly popping out of the edges as it seems they will have to force their way through.. Claire would feel a wave of dangerous warmth around them, assuring them that staying inside would guarantee their deaths.. Or not being careful too..

Saeko didn't glance or look downwards at him, she simply helped him get up on his feet before giving him an 'awkward' hug, patting his right shoulder before she settled off to keep working on their food..

''Control yourself, Ravier. If you simply have a hard time at doing so, then find a way to get rid of your desires. But no more staring, agreed?'' She had said so maturely but so.. Soothingly? No. Calmly? Maybe.. Her voice was one that was hard to decipher, but it was soothing to hear nonetheless, even if she was naturally a bit grim thanks to being a Solitaire.

Meanwhile, she was now leaning forward again while grabbing something else from the fridge..

Jessie's spirit lit up as Josephine found her 'surprise' most appealing, smiling and silently mouthing 'I did good!' to herself, most happy that Josephine was having a great time.. After all, she was the only thing she had around.. And the only person she has found willing to teach and instruct her about the biotic powers she had.. Although not as impressive as Josephine's own, with the proper training and practice they could be as impressive as well..

''I am the Jar'suuvenah of this sacred cathedral, I appreciate your compliment. My name is Chedraou, I'm glad to see the splendid visit of you two stunning figures. Did you know that this Cathedral has stood for over a thousand years?'' Chedraou said with a smile, being an 'alien' species which had a very 'calm' and pacific view of things.

Admiral Hackett seemed quiet as Jon explained and informed him of the situation.. Eventually clearing his throat and letting out an undetected sigh..

''That whole sector is gone, Edge. The destruction of the Mass Relay was a disastrous event. I doubt these unknown hostiles you speak of are left alive, but until now we know nothing of them, so they might be intact and finding ways to where they're headed. We're managing the situation as we're speaking, but the Alliance Navy needs you at top-flight to work on some leads. However, I've restored and authorized your Special Ops gear when you arrive. It has been upgraded and such, as I've heard. Do you have a means of transport to leave at once for Accelerator Station?'' He spoke firmly and with authority, such as many have mentioned when speaking about him.

Aye, but.. Would Jon leave Sally here?.. He needed to rescue her.. It would be considered inhuman if he did such an act.. The poor girl.. What was she going through right now?..

Cell Number #14, Secret Complex within the famous Underground 'Club', The 'Vivid Rose'.
Sally's gear was stripped of anything that was military, leaving her with the outfit alone without any gadget to help her in her current state.. She had been given a collar, sticking firmly around her neck but just enough to avoid any chocking or neck pains.. It could shock her with a certain device the handler known as 'Champ' had, which had been activated numerous time as she had rejected to put on a dancer's outfit.. Less go out to dance erotically or sensually for the 'Boss' himself.. The boss was growing impatient, which at the moment Champ was busy shocking her until she squealed for him to stop..

After almost passing out from an hour of electrical shocks (She had been shocked already numerous times before, meaning she was already weak in her endurance against them.), an exhausted and defeated Sally Blue begged the handler to stop, that she would do as told if he would stop torturing her.. She changed into the sensual dancer's dress (Think Slave Leia's dress from Star Wars.), eyed lustfully by the handler before he made her lean against the wall.. Trying to hold himself back from raping her ass before knowing that his Boss would have him chopped apart if he enjoyed the gorgeous girl before he did.. He closed her cell and went to torture another slave.. Sally sobbing quietly against her simple prison bed, muttering 'Jon, where are you?.. Jon, save me.. Please..' against the pillow's rather soft materials.. She hoped for him, that he would turn up and rescue her from this low-life establishment and criminal group.. What had she done to deserve this?.. 'Jon..' Sally Blue mouthed with tears running down her cheeks as she cried herself to sleep.. ... .... .....

Yuuko's mysterious maintenance door was up above a couple of steps, leading outwards and onto the roof..
(Not really much to post to, but there will be after you start getting serious on the roof! :3)

The maintenance door Yuuko was looking for was up above a couple of steps and, after checking to see that no one was watching, she snuck through and walked up to the roof. First thing she did was check for any oddities that might've came with people coming up here since she and Anthony had set up shop here. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so far, so she simply grabbed a piece of wood lying around the roof and barred the door with it. Next she walked up to the railing and found her guitar case, housing her Mosin rifle. She unpacked it and fitted the scope to it. A final check for any weapon flaws that might cause jamming later, she kneeled down behind the railing and got herself situated. After locating the balcony slightly below her on the other side of the street and using her scope to find the target, she pressed on her in-ear microphone and whispered with her sweet voice "Ready for lightning, bring the thunder"

[That_One_Guy]

Garian looked at his squad and pointed towards the Turret, "Come, we are almost there!" He said and then rushed ahead, gun blazing at anything that moved that wasn't human.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Haze ignored everyone and made her way to the engine room to see if she could start them again

[thealchemist]

Tu'Vak coughed as his lungs filled with smoke before looking at the jammed door. "Son of a...." He muttered and turned to Claire. "The door is jammed. Should we force it open?"

[napsii]

Josephine couldn't help but smile. Smiling was odd for her; it had never quite complimented her demeanor, but she liked to as much as she could. It helped to defeat the sometimes reverent view of others towards her...like she was some sort of haunting figure with the constant indifference smitten on her face.

Chedraou's greeting was amiable. She was always fascinated by alien culture. Her tribe had been salvaged from the scraps of normal human society, but time and time again as she explored the galaxy it was found that they had more in common with most alien species than they did with the humans of Earth (which, ironically, she had never once visited but seen many times in photos and videos).

"I did not, actually. That's very interesting. The stone and metal here feels aged...I assumed it was ancient." she replied, looking around.

"We're just visiting as well, but thank you. Jessie insisted that we come here before we return to the hotel." she added in reference to his calling them "stunning". Not very often she was described like that; it made her feel warm inside and she couldn't help it.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire coughs. She looks around for another way to escape. "Are there any emergency exists? Like a window that punches out or some thing on the roof?" she asks as she looks around.

[Reaver]

Emile counts down quietly before impact. He kisses Susan's head before whispering "Don't die on me here because I will never forgive myself." He holds her tighter as the pod rams into the shuttle, puncuturing the walls and before sealing the hole up. He pulls out his shotgun and punches the control pad, opening the pod to the shuttle. As he walks out of the shuttle, scaning the room with Susan behind he yells towards the guards "I'm here on offical buisness. You are carrying a highly dangerous assassin responsible for the death of multiple diplomats. We must find her and bring here down by any means." He looks around at all the civilians before sighing "Listen you guards stay here and check everyone's registration pass while me and my partner go down to the Engine Room to make sure the power stays dead until we're ready for it to be on. And who knows we might split the bounty with you guys." He starts walking towards what he knows is the engine room from the blueprints downloaded from his AI."Susan get your pistol out and be ready for anything." He looks around at the shadows checking every cranny for a sign of a assassin. "ASSASSIN come out and fight me in battle. Just me and you with our blades, what do you say? If you kill me we'll let you go." He pulls out one of his knives while replacing his shotgun with his uzi. "if he doesn't show up I'll just leave and blow up the whole ship" Emile thinks as he walks down the hallways always making sure Susan stays behind him.

The Green Anchor seemed dead.. Just like the rest of the space around The Apis.. That's when a sudden escape pod launched from the dying ship.. Preparing to land on the planet below as a solid beam blew the ship apart.. Flying debris bouncing off the Apis..

((Apologies for the delay))

Cursing to himself for his foolhardieness, Julius gunned the engines of the Apis once again, causing the small ship to surge forward and away from the now-obliterated wreck. He didn't trust his sensors, what with things appearing out of nowhere and vanishing again, so instead set course at full speed for the nearby world. He punched in a trajectory along which the escape pod was travelling and tried to predict where it would land. His ship wasn't designed to pick up life pods with any degree of haste, and with a potential battle-situation, haste was most certainly required. He's just have to pick up his contact on the world below

[Zender_Solarheart]

(Oh, it is REALLY personal now.)

Jon's reply: "Unfortunately, I do not. The ship I escaped in was shot down by a local criminal organization, calling themselves the 'Olive Moons.' I met a friend of the pilot's along the way, but we're currently stuck in a shelter, after dodging death with a sniper. They also have the pilot and one of my Lieutenants held prisoner...and given the information they know, I can't just leave them here." Truth be told, Jon has other reasons to rescue Sally, aside from simply her knowledge of sensitive info...it's not the kind of reasoning he can put into words, but he knows it's there...

"In either case, these 'Olive Moons' clearly have some notable supplies, given that they could fish out a rocket to down our craft with. I'm willing to bet they have some spacecraft available, as well. If all goes well, I should be able to kill two birds with one stone. As for your own troops, I recommend you keep them ready on the more crucial systems. There's more for us to consider than just some upstart gangs with big guns, after all." Jon knows the risks he likely faces, going in to rescue Sally and the pilot, and he wishes that Spec Ops gear was on him right now...but for that same reason that he can't put into words, he's unable to simply leave them hanging, especially the Lieutenant. However, he can't let Hackett know that; despite them being of equal rank, nobody said that Hackett can't file a claim of being "emotionally compromised" against him...

Ravier went to the table and sat calmly. He looked down at the table to make sure not to stare.
