<span style='color:green'>"Thank you."
*heads off to the mech, to put the survival pack in place. Before stowing it, he removes the pistol and places it in his pocket*
"Just to unbalance the odds in any fight I get into."</span>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>*Is still working on mech.*

*Takes a break, then uses cellphone to call whatever bank is in charge of his money. Tells them to move the money to another, anonymous account he opened years ago. At the same time, transfers 900 to the shop owners account.*</span>

<span style='color:chartreuse'>The account transfer was succesful, turns out he had 500 still lying about in his old account.</span>

*Scans the computer screen in front of him until he reaches the computer upgrades*

"Alright! THe good stuff! Gimme uhhmm... a level 5 radar/scanner. Always helps to know what you're gonna go up against."
</span>

Bill_Door

<span style='color:green'>*heads back to the shop to meet up with everyone else.*</span>

P-Khan

<span style='color:gray'><u>"ah... let's see"
*checks out the upgrades*
"I'll have the survival pack, a level 2 repair system. Saving for a new mech..."</u></span>

*Turns around and see's Bill coming towards him*

"Hey. So whaddaya think of the place so far? Anything liable to get us killed?"
</span>

Bill_Door

<span style='color:green'>"I've not seen enough of here to say, only just put my survival pack in my mech"</span>

<b>Spark, last time I ask. Are you going to start getting this game playing, or do you intent to keep running at a one-happening-per-week pace?</b>

343_guilty_spark

<b>Was waiting for P-khan, oh well</b>

<span style='color:purple'>[The bar was very busy, people rushing in and out, he orders a beer and looks around for anyone who might be looking at, no one approaches him.
'This is going to be hard.'
He wonders around looking for anyone in GAC uniform but sees no one.]</span>

xect

<b>Yeah, know the feeling. But waiting for those who won't show up doesn't work. Because spending a day waiting for someone might help him, but the rest of us have to wait. And the more you wait, the more dead the thread becomes, leaving you to wait even longer.</b>

<span style='color:chartreuse'>*Still working on mech*</span>

343_guilty_spark

<span style='color:chartreuse'>A man walks into the hanger and waits for assistance, you've seen him before but can't remember from where, he may be a old customer that used you regulary, or a person that you have worked agasint alot, he sees you watching him and faces you, he is also under the same impression, he shakes his head and looks away.</span>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>*I let it be and keep working, trying to remember who the guy is.*</span>

<span style='color:chartreuse'> The man approaches you and asks.
"What is your name sir ?"
The voice seems very familiar, he may be a old customer.</span>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>"Depends, who's asking."

*Looks behind him to make sure Hank is watching.*</span>

ZeroByte

<span style='color:chocolate'>*Picks up his upgrade kit and heads to his mech. Along the way, Zero passes a Reach with a menacing howitzer hanging over it's chassis, waiting to be installed. Pausing for a while to marvel at it's firepower, he continues on to his mech with his upgrade. Getting on walker access lift, Zero opens his walker's maintenance hatch and starts upgrading his mech. As he works on removing his old radar, Zero wonders if he could jerry rig his old radar into some kind of electronic weapon.*</span>

343_guilty_spark

<span style='color:chocolate'>The system was installed fine, the old one fryed up in a test you did while trying to convert it.</span>

<span style='color:chartreuse'>
Hank has gone of somewhere, the man approaches you closer, you can make out a pistol underneath his shirt.</span>
<i>"I think i hired you regulary once upon a time, do you remember Mr.Rillok ?</i>
<span style='color:chartreuse'>Yes you do remember him, he was head of a gang that you nearly destoryed, this guy doesn't seem to know this yet..</span>

<span style='color:chartreuse'>*Tries to look calm, looking around for other people he knows in the workshop, making sure to catch the attention of anyone he can trust to cover him*

"Yeah, remember that. Sorry, but I'm not available for the time being. I'm only here to work on my 'chine. Or would be, except this cutter is giving me problems."

"HEY HANK, NEED YOUR HELP OUT HERE!!!!"

*Prepares to attack the guy if he pulls his gun.*</span>

343_guilty_spark

<span style='color:chartreuse'>No one else in the shop can be seen, Hank comes running in, a crowbar in his hand looking around for the threat, only seeing the man looking at you as you are some sort of nutcase
"What ? Did you cut yourself or something ?"
He lowers the crowbar and approaches the man.
<i>"You are the owner yes ? Well we have some mechs that need repairs and i was wondering if we could book a work up in 5 days ?"
Hank nods and writes it on a calendar on the wall. </i>
[COLOR=chartreuse]The man pays him in advance and walks of, just before the hanger door he gives you a hard look and reaches into his pocket and pulls out a note book, he opens it and flicks around, he reaches a page and goes wide eye, he looks at you then the book very fast, before putting it away very fast and startingto run, he trips up by the hanger door and falls over.</span>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>"Calm down Hank, calm down. I don't believe I told you I was hurt. However, I do believe the blade on the cutter needs changing, it's getting dull"

*Whispers:*

"Plus, that guy back there probably wouldn't mind killing me if he knew who I was. It's not like I'm the most popular guy in this place."</span>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>"Oh, and by the way, that reminds me, do you think you could set me up with a decent handgun? Something with good concealability. Preferably non-metal"</span>

<i>"I'll have a look in the back mate."

A woman walks through the door and looks around for someone, she is wearing skimpy clothes and a innocent smile when she sees you.
"ooo a mystery man, would you like some company?" She says seducily while putting her arm around you.</i>

<span style='color:purple'>He is about to give up when a man approaches him.
"Save the code phrase we don't have alot of time, we must get out of here."
"Excuse me ?" Sparks says in a confused way.
"The UEN are about to try their seismic tanks out on this ranch, we gotta get out of here !" He says urgently.
"Prove it."
The man grumbles and pulls out some pictures of large dark objects approaching a ranch, the ranch hes in.
"See!"
"Oh crap." Sparks whipsers, he gets up and jogs out the bar, the informative follows. He runs towards his mech and clambers up into it before accessing the team radio channel.
"GUYS WE GOT INCOMING, LETS GET MOVING NOW!" He shouts down the radio, he switches his mech on and gets ready.</span>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>"Sorry missy, no time today"

*Keeps cutting mech armor, hearing nothing at all.*</span>

343_guilty_spark

<span style='color:chartreuse'>
She looks dissapointed at the reply, seeing she won't get any buisness here, she leaves the hanger. The cutting seems to be finished now, Hank comes back in and asks you.
"Ok the painter is up, while thats charging up you can help me finish the controls, im about half way down, just the damn radar and legs that are playing up."</span>


<span style='color:purple'>His radio isn't picking anything up, the informative is inside the mech with him aswell.
</span>
<i>"Get your team ready and get going !</i>

xect

<span style='color:chartreuse'>"A few different shades of shining silver grey. And I'm probably going to be using the precision painter too, since it has to be done well."

*goes to help Hank get controls to work*</span>
