Distress Signal: Bandits Attacking a Mercenary Ship

So. How does one get on this ship..?

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

That I do.

@superservo27

You have a ship...

A ship that travels in space...

Jhin has... an itch...

An itch that needs scratchin'

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

I'm still here.

Realistically, I wanted Jhin to find his next gig while he was at the bar...

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

Jhin sighed. Seeing as Miri kept her barriers up, he lowered his weapon. "This is becoming a farce. I understand that one can have an avatar in this world that resembles nothing like how they are in the real world. I chose not to do that since I have nothing to hide. I am who am I, What I am.... You two, I'm not so sure. A blue-haired woman who speaks as if she knows exactly whats going on with anyone, while shooting with blatant disregard to others. A Draenei. Those only theoretically exist in video games. Seriously. This is getting more and more out of hand by the minute. You, blue-hair, I don't know what you're after or even who you are. Right now, I don't care anymore. Yeah, sure, I know a guy. Why wouldn't I. Miri, I. I don't know what to think of you. Your kind exist in video games. Sure, there are aliens and such all around now. For all we know, the blue-haired one isn't even human."

Sighing once again, taking a sip of whatever is left of his whiskey. "I'm logging out. I hope we, all four of us, can meet again, and under different circumstances. Until then, goodbye."

With those words, Jhin opened up a small screen, and proceeded to log himself out...

Steady breaths came from Jhin. His hands unwavering. Aiming down his sight, he noticed that the blue-haired woman had stood up. The barrier Miri had put up is keeping the fire from actually being on the blue-haired woman.

"You better hope her shields hold up." Jhin said in a monotonous way. He wasn't about games right now. She had opened fire first. For all he knows, this woman in front of him is a cop of some sort. Whatever agency she works for has an agenda. Sure, her logic was that death would boot a user out of the virtual world. But still, there are other ways do achieve what she wants to do.

"Who the fuck are you and why are you here? You sure are packing a lot of heat for just visiting the bar..."

Sure, Jhin was being hypocritical. He himself was carrying. He knew why he has to, but not her. He doesn't know why she was carrying as well. There are very little chances that this blue-haired woman was in the same line of work as he was. People come and go from his world, but he hears about all of it, in a professional standpoint.

"Miri, you better pray to whatever gods you pray to that your shields hold up. As soon as it comes off of her, I'm putting a bullet between her eyebrows."

Jhin ain't playin no games. His pistol was still fixed on his target, ready to fire.

If Maestro doesn't reply in about an hour, I will so we can keep moving, whether it is to end the interaction or carry it on.

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

I think Maestro.. He posts and then I will.

Yeah I don't know. This just went from 0 to about 60 to about 1000...

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

His kept his pistol aimed at the blue-haired woman while Miri spoke. For a moment, he pulled his arm back so that his arm was bent at an 90 degree angle, clicking the hammer off the firing pin.

Now, some background on his weapon.

If one was the classify it, it would fall into the revolver category. Six round chamber, seven rounds total capacity. Not his usual weapon of choice but more of a personal protection detail. Aptly named The Virtuoso, Jhin has heavily modified this weapon as well. A typical Smith & Wesson Model 500 has a muzzle velocity of about 2000 feet per second and an effective range of about 165 feet using .50 caliber bullets. By custom-milling the interior of the barrel and giving it a smoother, more precise finish, Jhin is able to extend the effective range to about 500 feet. Using Frixion Prime technology, he altered the firing mechanism and bullet construction to increase the muzzle velocity to 3000 feet per second, rivaling that of a .416 Barrett. Needless to say, getting hit by this is like getting shot with a sniper rifle from 1/3 the distance away...

Just as he was about to speak, Jhin was interrupted by a loud bang. Maestro had previous put his hands up to defend Miri. The blue-haired woman just shot the android in the face. Instinctively, Jhin turned to where to shot was fired from, not waiting to check on the android or Miri. Seeing the blue-haired woman tumble over the bar for cover, presumably from him, confirmed his suspicion. Seeing a barrier go up above the blue-haired woman raised another suspicion in him. Was Miri in on this? Why would they plot to take out a seemingly harmless android...

His thoughts were interrupted, again, by a loud noise. This time, it came from the android. Of course it wasn't dead. It can't. It would just shut off. In any case, Jhin had to deal with the blue-haired woman, who is still armed and considered dangerous.

Spotting the bottles of alcohol behind where she was located, Jhin fired off two shots in rapid succession. With his off hand, he pulled out a lighter and lit it. As his bullets tore through the glass bottles and the wall behind it, Jhin threw his lighter at the outpouring liquor, lighting it on fire directly above the blue-haired woman. Taking aim at the bar itself now, Jhin emptied his chamber in a horizontal fashion starting from about 3 meters from where the blue-haired woman initially rolled over the bar all the way to about 3 meters on the other side. As soon as his chamber was emptied, he ejected the magazine, took out another, flicked it into the chamber, turning it several rotations with his left thumb and pulled the hammer back down, readying to fire again.

He uttered not a thing during these past 30 seconds of action...

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

While he was sitting back and just letting the conversation go by, pondering about his next job and all, the blue-haired girl had to reach for a weapon.

She had to pull out a weapon...

In a flash, Jhin had reached into his cloak and pulled out an ornate pistol. The hammer was pushed down and ready to fire. The muzzle was pointed at the blue-hair woman. He noticed that Miri had put up some sort of protective barrier around herself. She had claimed that the shield will cause a projectile to ricochet. To have it ricochet go directly back to the shooter, either Miri is bullshitting or the shield is something special.

In any case, Jhin spoke to the blue-haired woman. "I'd advise you to put that away. You're not the only one here that know how to use a firearm, I guarantee you that. Also, I'm under the impression that if you die here, your real body dies. Now, today seems like a bad day to die. Lets just all step back, and walk away from this, yes?" Jhin's voice was calm, but stern. He was emitting a threatening aura, but has it contained enough that he doesn't seem insane...

*The Space-Bar ~ A Virtual Tavern ~ Always Open*

This is turning to be quite exciting lol.

A gun has been pulled and not by Jhin either.
