Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers

Things were not going well at all. As the magnetic holds were lifted dozens of more C-Sec officers poured in. Had these guys been on standby? Or maybe they realized the destructive potential of this ship and couldn’t afford to let it take off. It really didn’t matter the reason, they were there and they had begun advancing on the ship. Jason was doing his best to lay down cover fire, but he couldn’t even get 3 shots out before his shields would be downed, forcing him back to cover.

“Where is Ekrom? We need to move NOW!” Jason barked at the Merc over the gun fire.

“Right there, and he’s got a hostage.” The Merc pointed over to Ekrom charging his way through the crowd. When he reached them he handed the hostage over to the Turian and yelled for Jason and Lysia to get on.

“Lysia, its time to go!” Jason yelled over to her. There was a problem though, a storming party of about 5-6 officers were making a charge on the ship and they were nearly there!

If she made a run for it, they would just beat her there and then there would be no stopping them even if they did resort to killing. Taking a deep breath, she took a risk jumping from cover and immediately sending a shock wave their way. The ones without shields were sent flying and the others were stunned long enough for her to get a running start. She didn’t make it far. A well aimed sniper shot ripped through her shield and went right through her left shin.

Lysia fell to the ground in pain. Jason almost immediately hurdled over to run to her, but was grabbed by Ekrom and pulled back. He wanted to fight him but Lysia looked and then and shouted, “JUST GO!” With much hesitation, Jason nodded and headed into the ship with Ekrom. There was no way to get to her without risking everyone else. The last thing they saw were the previously stunned officers surrounding Lysia placing her under arrest.

As they entered the ship Jason slammed his fist into the wall a screamed, “GOD DAMN IT!” He had never left a man behind before. Never.

Well I guess I'm next up to post then. My laptop is still in the shop so I apologize for any misspellings and other issues as I'll have to do it on my phone.

So what should we do about Lysia?

Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers

Really sorry to hear that :'( but I understand and wish him a fast recovery. Is there anything specific you'd like us to do with Lysia or should we just have C-Sec arrest her and leave her fate open?

I'm sorry to say that my laptop screen broke today and until I get it fixed I may not be able to post :'( If it holds the RP back too much I'll try to do a short one on my phone. (Which is what I'm using to write this.)

Oh I didn't mean anything with that. That was just kind of a "We don't have much time" statement. Sorry if it looked like I was rushing you, you guys take as much time as you need.

Jason made sure to take note of where everyone took a stance for a tactical appraisal. Lysia took a position with much better cover, but she had a longer distance to run to the ship. He couldn’t help but return the courteous yet slightly flirtatious smile. Jason’s worries were relieved when Icarus commanded that no C-sec officers were to be killed, now the only casualties they’d have to avoid were their own. She then headed straight into the ship, which at first would have seemed like a cowardice thing to do. But looking at it from a tactical approach, 3 would be enough to cover the entrance while providing the minimal amount of people they’d need to evacuate. Had she stayed out they would have only slightly more fire power but an evac extension of about 10 seconds minimum plus another body they would have to cover for. Overall it was better she stay out of the fight.

Not even a second after Icarus closed the airlock, a squad of C-sec plain clothes officers appeared from the hallway. One of them screamed for them to lay down their arms and surrender, this was followed by the Turian opening fire sending the officers into hiding.

“I had a clear shot on that guy and I had to fire over his head. This no killing thing is bullshit!” The merc yelled over the rapid gun fire.

“Hey, think of this like a game! See how close you can get to the target without hitting it.” Jason said back as he jumped from cover to start his round of suppressing fire. “If it’s too hard for you, you can head back into the ship and get that other Turian out here. I mean, it was her order, plus she’s probably a better shot anyway.” The Turian gave him a low growl but didn’t retort.

Jason kept up the pressure but soon his gun overheated forcing him back into cover. As he ducked he peared to the side to keep an eye on the officers. Just as luck would have it an actually armored and ready squad was making their way to aid the plain clothes. “Shit we got enemy reinforcements incoming. Your boss better hurry up with those locks!”

Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers

Oh no no I'd just collab with you if that were the case. I'm talking about the guy Jason is next to. He's just an NPC but @WittyWolf made him so I'm just making sure I can use him.

Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers

Okay, so should I post then? If so I may need to take control of the C-sec officers and that Turian merc. That cool with you guys?

@WittyWolf

Anything is possible ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@WittyWolf

I guess we'll just have to see how the RP goes. Who knows? Maybe Jason will be able to turn Ekrom and his gang into a more respectable group like bounty hunters or something instead ;)

If you guys want maybe get together and do a collab for the next post. Would be pretty cool to see fight between you two. Maybe Ekrom is trying to release the magnetic locks but has to get through Aaron first. (Or a switch off where Ekrom releases them several times just to have Aarom turn them back on right after XD )
