"Ah, an underground bar for mercenaries! Sounds awfully exciting! I've never been in one before!"
*Adrian's mood suddenly deflats a bit*
"Oh, right. Underground bar...for mercenaries."
*He then looks around confused and asks a question*
"I don't know about you guys but I'm starving. Not too sure about how the local government really deals with situations like this either. Do they come around and pick us up...or what?"

Demiguise · February 2004

*finishes tinkering*
"that thing cant be fixed so nothing good is really gunna come outta it"
*walks over to the window*
"looks fine now, i just want something to drink"

Bill_Door · February 2004

*Colin nods*
"Yeah, living it the past ain't going to help today."
*Hears Raziel has just arrived*
"Eh, Bad timing or what? Anyway, spacelag really sucks. My advice is just to tough it out. Pity we don't have any military grade coffee around here. Doesn't taste nice but its certainly keeps you awake."

"You wouldn't last 4 seconds in a merc bar !"
'Poor guy would be full of bullet holes in seconds, heh funny thought.' He stretches his arms and walks to the front door.
'You don't think Joeys has been bombed do you ? Nah, that place may be a run down dump but its tougher than titanium, probably cause its most likely got titanium in it while it was beind made.' He opens the front doors and looks outside to see if the world has ended.

Demiguise · February 2004

*gets a wee bit bored and pulls out his Pda and plays around with it*

Bill_Door · February 2004

"That depends on whether the local mercs are a bunch of yobs or a bit more disciplined"
*Colin goes over to the spot he stripped his weapon and lies down*
"Now, just keep it down. Some people may want a nap"
*He closes his eyes and appears dead to the world. His LMG lies next to him*

Daza4 · February 2004

I might join later when i get home from school

Khaim · February 2004

*Raziel lays his head back against the pew again while closing his eyes*
"Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe a nice round at one of the bars around here once the bombs finish dropping, maybe I can pick up a new job at the merc bar too."
*Raziel rests his arms along the back of the pew and tries to sleep until the bombs finish dropping*

PFCNublar · February 2004

*He watches as some of the others start to fall asleep*
*Adrian breaths out a sigh as the sound of bombs dropping in the distance echos still*
*Turns himself to face the entrance into the church, keeping watch*
*Reaches into his fannypack and takes out a pack of salted crackers*
*Takes a quick look at all of the sleeping mercinaries*
"Hehe...they don't look all that mean, especially when they're sleeping like that. Bunch of bloody angels."

Bill_Door · February 2004

"Been too damn long since I was last called an angel" Colin remarks to himself

Demiguise · February 2004

*goes to the pew and lays down*
"night night"

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

He smirks as they fall asleep knowing that he rob them in their sleep, he sits on a pew and waits for everyone to fall asleep.
'Like taking candy from a baby.'

Demiguise · February 2004

"i heard that!, i sleep with one ear out and one eye open..."

Sparks, yes there's planes. We're at a HIGHER tech level than today, same world as yours. With mechs, spaceships and of cause planes. Plane tickets are pretty cheap, but shuttle tickets could easily take some time to get.

Demi, you can do just about everything if you can do it, if you get what I mean. Get the money for a vehicle and someone will more than happily supply you with one, provided they have one for sale of cause <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Seems the bombs have stopped dropping now, nothings been heard for a while

Bill_Door · February 2004

*Colin quietly sits up, his back against the wall*
"...Ah... The calm after the storm..." he whispers with a sliver of a grin on his lips, "...never could sleep through it."

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

"FECK !" 'There goes some extra cash.'
"Well gentlemen it has been a interesting stay." Looks at Wyzak coldly then continues.
"However im thirsty and need a beer so if you'll excuse me i'll be on my way and i hope for your sake." He points to Wyzack.
"We never meet again."
He walks out of the church door giving them no time to say goodbye, his rifle slung on his back behind his coat, he feels his treasures and walks of.
'Well that was fun, time to get drunk and get rich.' He walks in the direction of Joeys bar.

Khaim · February 2004

*Raziel slowly stretches on his pew and gets up, walking to the door*
"Well, I'm guna be taking the same road as him, need to get a new contract here to get some cash for the next planet-hop. And Colin... Good luck, you sound like you could use it."
*He flips a coin out of his pocket to Colin and then follows Sarlex out the door, heading for Joey's bar, talking to himself under his breath*
"Well that sure was interesting... Going to have to keep my head down at the bar to find a new job for a hacker without getting my head taken off by a merc... But hey, where's a better place to find the lawless needing a favour than a merc bar."

Bill_Door · February 2004

"Thanks mate. Pity I don't have any comms equipment left, otherwise I'd tell you to call me if you need any help."
*Colin pockets the coin*
"Best be going soon..."
*He sits there, watching over any people still sleeping*

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

Crap he was being followed, he turned round to see it was one of them from the church.
'Ugh better speed up other wise he will start talking to me.'
Sarlex broke into a light run for Joeys bar, it wasn't far now few more blocks and he was there.

Khaim · February 2004

*As he sees Sarlex run off he frowns slightly*
"Damn, now how the hell am I guna get to that bar..."
*He continues walking the same direction for a few more blocks, if he can't find it by then he asks a passerby about the bar*

PFCNublar · February 2004

*Adrian quickly finishes off the crackers and pockets the empty wrapper*
*Claps his hands together to dust off any crumbs and wipes any off his mouth*
"Well, Colin, I'll be taking a short walk around the immediate area. See how bad the surrounding area's been bombed and if any government agencies are around looking for survivors. Get some semi-fresh air too."
*He then unholsters his pistol to reload it with a live magazine but keeps the saftey on before holstering it again*
"Ought to be back running if anything goes wrong <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />."
*Adrian then takes his first few steps out of the door and around the church*

ZeroByte · February 2004

Looking over to Colin, Wyzak asks, "You want to go over to Joeys now?"

Demiguise · February 2004

*he wakes up and goes to the door, pulls out his pda and thinks*
"hmmmm.... i think i am gunna need a new Graphics card, and several main components for this hunk of junk to work"

Bill_Door · February 2004

"Why not? I haven't got anything else to be doing."
*Colin gets up and walks over to Wyzak, his LMg slung on his back*
"Lead the way."

Demiguise · February 2004

"hey where are you going? i am going with ya too"
*follows*

343_guilty_spark · February 2004

He opens the doors to Joeys and walks inside, he makes his way to the bar keeper and says
"Hey, like a pint of kell please." Making sure only the barkeep heard the 'kell' bit and waited for a response.

ZeroByte · February 2004

Looking at Demiguise with misgivings, Wyzak says "Well... if you want to, but I do not think it is your kind of place. We're going to a mercenary bar, you don't look like much of a mercenary to me. You can follow us, but I will not be responsible for anything that happens to you there."

Cautiously opening the door a bit, he takes a look outside before opening the door fully. Motioning to the others with his head to follow him, Wyzak goes out of the church and grimly looks at the destruction the bombs have cause.

Now that he's outside, Wyzak sees the full extent of the damage. Once beautiful, Warszawa now stands in ruins. Far off, Wyzak hears the anguished cries of people who have lost their loved ones in the bombing. Nearby, a pool of blood is the only thing that marks where a man once stood. The park where Wyzak was to have met his contact is now a collection of muddy craters.

Solemly, Wyzak vows to himself, 'I will make them pay back for what they did to my country'

Bill_Door · February 2004

"You're making it sound like a dive... No wonder you have a low opinion of mercenaries"
*Colin follows Wyzak outside, and looks around.*
"They were definately careful to hit everything. Looks like a lunar landscape. 'Just a decapitation strike', my arse. Only idiots use carpet bombing to assasinate a person. How'd they know they got him if there isn't anything to find?"
*Colin sighs*
"I smell an ugly war coming"

Demiguise · February 2004

"thats why they carpet bombed though... he could have been anywhere..."

Bill_Door · February 2004

"So know they don't know if he's alive or dead. He could be vapourised by a bomb or alive and still plotting their downfall. All they've acomplished is to annoy a whole load of people. You can't be telling me thats a good thing"
*Colin shakes his head*
"They didn't learn from the US's mistakes in twenty oh two, or a half dozen more recent attempts. The way I'd do an assasination is huge amounts of intel, locate the target, infiltrate a man or a team of men to his postition. Then use a sniper to remove his head or a smash and grab raid to kill him and extract with the body if possible. Don't count a man dead until you've seen the body... and in this age I'd want a DNA sample just to make sure. Hairy, I know, but the only way to be sure."
