Isaac awoke with a jump. He did that sometimes. His sleep was rarely satisfactory. That was part of his life though. Not only did he have to be alert and a light sleeper if he wanted to survive, he was also plagued by the nightmares of all the dark shit he'd seen over the years. It wasn't exactly pleasant, but he was used to it by this point. He sighed, rubbing his eyes and pulling on a vest, realising that he had work to do today, then proceeding to spend around an hour preparing himself for the day ahead. Hopefully it wouldn't be a long one... a quick trip in to Vorcha town, then out. He'd dealt with Vorcha before. They were unsophisticated, a minor threat. He could get in and out if he did it cleverly.
After having suited up in his old, chipped, black armour, Isaac set out towards the co-ordinates that Ticus had given him. It was quite a way away, he had to take transit there, and the transit didn't go directly to the Vorcha area, so he was forced to walk some part of it. By the time he reached the entrance to that sector, it was pretty much midday. It wasn't a problem, since he had several hours before he had to meet with Ticus.
The first few minutes in Vorcha territory were oddly quiet. He then discovered an unsubtle amount of Vorcha corpses as he progressed through the tunnels. Someone had been here recently. He also noticed a Human body, which surprised him. It was fresh. Less than an hour old. It was still warm when he leant down and searched for a pulse. But there was no pulse to be found.
He did encounter a few Vorcha, around two dozen - as even if someone had been here, this particular area was quite open and had a large population of Vorcha. But their small numbers meant that he passed through them with ease, killing each one as if it were a simple chore. He chuckled to himself as he grew closer to the Infirmary, noticing that he had enough clips for his assault rifle to kill around five times the amount of Vorcha he just had.
Isaac looked down the street. He could hear something... gunfire. An explosion. It didn't sound like Vorcha - and it wasn't. He was now about three minutes away from the Infirmary, but in the area surrounding it, there were people - dangerous looking. Isaac spotted a Batarian, who was facing off with a freakishly large Turian. He was pretty sure he also saw a human who was in cover nearby. As soon as Isaac turned the corner and caught the group's attention, he got a target on his head. "More?!" he heard the Turian bellow, who pointed his rifle in Isaac's direction. Isaac quickly dived behind the closest cover available - a small crate, avoiding a shot that would have likely put him out of action had it hit him.
"I guess this might be a little bit more interesting than I thought," Isaac laughed breathy in a manner, a soliloquy to himself. He never backed away from a challenge. He relished it. It gave him a chance to look even better in front of Ticus. His orders had been to take out anyone that stood in his way, and he was willing to do exactly that. He wouldn't feel guilty. After all - they shot first. He dipped his head out from the side of the crate to line up a shot, just in time to see the Turian lining up a grenade launcher towards him. Quickly, he slid out of the way and found himself a point of cover behind a wall, narrowly avoiding the grenade that proceeded to destroy the crates he had been behind. Maybe this could prove to be a challenge.
Taking a sharp breath, he turned around and unleashed his pistol to fire two bullets the Turian's way... one in the head was enough to silence him. There were at least two other hostiles, though, so Isaac had no time to celebrate his kill, quickly returning to cover and waiting for another opportunity to shoot. The thing that was bizarre, though, was that none of them seemed to be working together - all shooting at one another. Isaac considered leaving them to kill eachother, waiting until he could enter easily, but he decided it would be more fun to get stuck in.
