Tasi watched the rapid goings-on silently from his little spot- Though at 'Zion's final statement, he finally spoke up, slipping down from the bar to stand beside Roman, rifle resting over his shoulder and stance generally just... Lazy. Bored.

"For as many credits as you claim to be able to give to us, I would be willing to overlook the slight of this little... 'Test'."

He nudged the mercenary's fresh corpse with a toe, looking rather distasteful of the body.

"As long as we're given assurance that we won't be made into cannon fodder like these poor fools, that is. I'm happy to shoot people for credits, but I have no love for intentionally dying in their pursuit. Kind of makes the whole thing pointless, wouldn't you say?"

BOOMSTICK ready to spit death at target that look wrong at Kronn. Listen to holo explain job, understand the chance for kills is high. Is excited.

"Want to know, what we expect to face?" I ask.

Sienn stopped in the doorway. She stood frozen for several long moments, fighting to make a decision.

Would it really hurt to listen what he had to say?

If the last few minutes had been any indication, it probably would. But, the mercenaries had easily fought off the assailants, and unless an entire platoon of those black-armored mooks arrived, she would be just fine...probably.

The Asari then realized something else. How did this...person...know about her dream of becoming a spectre? It wasn't something she shared with really anyone, especially not her fellow mercenaries. Maybe she told an old Eclipse while member drunk in a bar, but except for her good friends, which she had very few of, and her mother, she wouldn't share her childish dream with anyone. Maybe this person was reading through her personal messages or notes somehow? Another thing she would have to look into.

Sienn gave a long sigh and turned back.

Jek shook his head, partly in distaste for Thornton's execution of the prisoner, and partly in disdain for Zion's offer.

"Don't presume to know me, Mr Zion," he said. "I don't want back into the STG. Matter of fact, after Dalatrass Norlis was finally exposed, they asked me to come back: full reinstatement, promotion, pay rise, the whole package. I said 'no': that ship's sailed."

He gave the hologram a small sneer.

"Looks like your information isn't as good as you think it is."
