Collateral strides through the mall parking lot back to his bike. His stride carries both an arrogance and a weariness. His back is hunched, but his eyes burn brightly with anger and resentment. I hate the fragging crime mall. Not much work for an ancient glok these days, and it's nearly impossible to sell homemade explosives when there's a guy three booths down who's practically giving away the good plastic stuff. Don't know why I bothered to show.

A couple human lifters are lurking in the general area of his scorpion. I wonder if those ujnort have got any yen on them. Wouldn't be hard to take it from a couple of pinkskins who weren't even born when I first shook someone down for money with only a knife and my hez.

<@Collateral [Kilroy] Hoy Chummer. Heard you might be looking for a little work?>

Kilroy. Looks like those lifters are off the hook. Alright, gotta respond, but I don't want to seem desperate. I am desperate. It can't seem like that. Just stay calm.

<@Kilroy [Collateral] Hey 'roy! It's been too long, my friend. I'd be interested in a job, if you had something in mind that would suit me. Even if it doesn't exactly suit me, I'm a modern-day jack-of-all-trades, you know?>

Zion looks up a local coffin motel that is close using a google search on his com. once he finds one he looks to Aeryn flips his visor on his helmet up and showing the search results to her says "well here is one, we can rest a while then head out to the meet." with that said Zion puts his com back in his pocket and routes the location with driving directions and heads off toward the coffin motel with Aeryn in tow.

The team is already in place and Ms Johnson is wanting some additional Muscle who knows how to keep collateral damage to a minimum... For some reason your name came to my mind when she said that.

<@Collateral [Kilroy] Most of the team is new. The spell slinger is a kid I've not dealt with before; A reformed wizkid. You know how hard it is to find mages for hire who don't fancy themselves prime runners. The driver is a local smuggler. She has a solid rep working for the syndicates. The muscle comes in the form of a street sam I've imported a number of times over the past few years who recently relocated to the Puyallups more permanently and a member of the Ancients who is looking to expand his horizons and become a free agent. The last one is a concern, his rep is less than solid.>

With a thought, Collateral starts up his scorpion and climbs on, stashing his things in his saddlebags. A pump shotgun sticks out of a crudely made holster on the back of the bike; not something the star would be pleased about, but the star don't make it this far in the puyallups much. The bike drives off, blowing past the two lifters loitering in the lot. The wind blows through Collateral's graying hair, putting him at ease.

Work at last. Maybe I'll actually get some sleep tonight. It's been a while...



Friday April 24th, 2070; 03:41:10; Collateral's Doss

Dylan's vision blurred. He couldn't tell if it was the alcohol or the tears that slowly filled his eyes. 'I've got nothing left', he thought. A mirror laid on the table with only a few traces of white powder. He was coming down now, and the mirror only served to mock him. He felt the coldness of steel against his temple. He desperately wanted his finger to squeeze the trigger of the gun that was pressed against his skull, and end this mockery of a life. But he couldn't. He couldn't. 'Why won't you let me do this?', he asked, warring with a part of himself. Somewhere inside of him, there was something that wouldn't let him end it. Something that kept him going. If only he knew what exactly that was. He let the gun fall to the carpet, and slumped back in his chair.

Things can't get much worse than this.

Aeryn secures a storage unit to crash in for the night while Zion awaits Collateral's arrival. She gets a 20x10x6 unit so they can fit the bikes in as well. The lot has a port-a-potty to facilitate biological needs and there is an outside faucet for water. A pair of old mattresses lie on the floor of the storage unit.

Traffic is fairly consistent on Main street given that it is a Saturday night, but the coffin motel is not the destination for the vast majority of those out tonight. Finally, Collateral rolls up on his scorpion.

The burly ork swings one leg over the side of his bike and neatly steps on to the ground. In a word, he looks old. He must be in his late 30's, which is nearing the end of an ork's short lifespan, and his hair is graying and unkempt. He has a thick beard, also graying, and slightly darker skin than the average ork. There are bags around his eyes and his cheeks are drawn. Except for something in his eyes, a hardiness, you'd think he was fed up with living. You see a gang patch on the back of what looks to be a relatively new armored jacket. It displays a sylized ork standing on a pile of human and elven corpses, holding the severed head of one of the humans triumphantly. The ork in front of you doesn't look like your typical ganger, but the patch is incongruous.

Callow? What is this ujnort talking about? The new kids are even more paranoid than the last batch.

"Nah, call me Collateral. You can call me Theo, I guess, but few do. I don't think that you told me how much money we'd be making on our shift."

Collateral flashes a big grin at you, as he pulls out a pack of cigarettes. He sticks one in his mouth before offering you one, arm outstretched, smile still plastered on his face.

"alright Theo, my name is Zion i had to make sure you weren't some drek trying to hi jack our load tonight. nice to meet ya" Zion reaches out with one hand and relaxes the other at his side. "come inside and ill fill you in on tonight."

Collateral sticks the pack of cigarettes back in his armored jacket before firing up a butane lighter and placing the end of the cigarette in the flame. He nods and smiles at the elf, shaking his hand firmly and then moving to follow him towards the dilapidated storage shack. Collateral's cybereyes take in the surrounding area, looking for the other members of their team and checking the area for threats. He strikes up a quiet conversation with Zion, careful to keep his voice low but doing his best to sound jovial. He was never very good at sounding jovial.

Collateral keeps pace with Zion as they head towards the storage unit. As they stop in front of the unit and Zion finishes explaining the details of the run to Collateral, he puts his cigarette out on the side of the locker. He nods at Zion when he finishes speaking, a nod of understanding.

"So basically you guys just need me along to help carry the damned thing and make sure nothing goes wrong. Sounds good to me. It'd be good to be rested for the mission and the drop. I'm assuming that since you didn't tell me, you don't know what's inside. That's standard johnson procedure though, gotta leave the gloks in the dark about everything."

Sleep does sounds great, hope you don't snore?" letting a small smirk show on Zion's face as he sends a copy of the file to Collaterals com via text message. Zion closes the door behind Theo and then lays down with all his gear, using his jacket as a pillow and keeping his ingram tucked against him with the safety on but ready to use if anyone breaks in or if he hears anything unsettling. " be sure to set your alarm i dont want to have to pull wake up duty say around 0410." with that said Zion sets his alarm on his COM to go off at 0410 giving him a loud bugle call long enough for him to get up and not be sleepy and time to get a quick breakfest or soycoffee and raise the dead ork if he dies in his sleep.

His eyes quickly sweep over the two shadowy forms slumbering on the matressess next to him. My back is fragging killing me. There were only 2 matressess in the unit, and rather than have to sleep with one of the elves, he had spread out his jacket and some clothing on the ground to make a terrible makeshift matress.

He nods a greeting at the female elf as she says his name.

"Well, I can almost always eat, but I'd be fine with just a coffee. I don't mind riding my bike alongside the other transport, but Harley-Davidson Scorpions are not known for being particularily stealthy."

A spell rippled through the center of the pack and three of them are removed from their bikes by the team's gunfire before they could even react to the spell. As they realize they were under attack, the remaining five take action. For whatever reason, all five accelerate away. In a flash, the rear two gangers accelerate and pass the front three. The closest rider of the five (still on his bike) goes from 30m away, past the team and 60m down the road. The rider shot by Aeryn is not moving while the two shot by Collateral are trying to crawl away. Both appear to be in pretty bad shape, though not yet dead.

As the gangers all seem to flee, Aeryn lowers her arm, no point in kicking those who are already down. Even with her own gang background, she was never a friend of random violence.

With the threat of the situation dropping a few notches all of a sudden, the elf also begins to realize, that they did not even know whether the gangers actually were out for them and to cause trouble. But weren't they all?

Aeryn holds action unable to find a target she feels threatened by.

Zion seeing that all the gangers scattered, watches awaiting action flipping his visor on his helmet down."that was fast."

Collateral shoves his shotgun in the hoster on the side of his bike and turns to face the team. "These guys are members of the Kohai. They're basically lap dogs for the Yaks. Here's hoping the Yakuza don't take offense to this. We should probably let the rest of them go, and we should definately not stick around to see if the yakuza show up." Collateral speaks matter-of-factly, like he doesn't really care about possibly making another enemy. He stubs his cigarette out on the side of the storage container.

Zions seeing everyone relax a bit stuffs his ingram in his jacket and looks to the others. " sounds like a plan lets get the ride and get to the pick up".

"Yep. Time to move on."

Aeryn hops back onto her machine and races off towards the parking place, leading the others. She considers taking a few extra twists and turns out of sheer paranoia, but with their destination just down the street, that would probably be a bit much.
