"Thanks," he smiled again. "It's been great having someone like you to talk to, something of a kindred spirit, you know what I mean? Really relatable, easy to talk to. We've barely met, but I think I've had longer conversations with you than I have with anyone else on the team."

He took a sip of his coffee. "You paid for the room; I'll pay for the coffee. What do you want?"

Capt. Lutra was sweating from the fires that had been started but he hastily reloaded and shot at the retreating soldiers. His side ached from the bullet impacts.

-----------------------

Alfred returned with his order of tofu strips.

"While we're waiting, anybody up for arm wrestling?" he asked, taking a sip of water.

Dr. Zanasiu chuckled. "You're kidding, right?" he asked, eating a tofu strip.

Zachary shook his head. "I am not arm wrestling someone who can throw a f---ing cement mixer through the air!" he said.

Alfred then turned to Cobalt Squad and Aisha. "Any of you want to try?" he asked.

"Thanks, I too feel the same way, easier to talk to and what have you" Shakila replied back with a rather content smile "And if you are insisting on it, then I'll just have a cappuchino"

(OOC: I think that's how you spell it XD)

Coporal Stern directed his thoughts to Shelton only <Alright. I'm directing my thoughts only to you now. What's your position and what is the situation? Tell me and I'll be over ASAP.>

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1244 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:32:53 AM

Shelton waved at the waitress, who signaled that she had heard.

<Shakila and I are just drinking coffee at the local shop. It's a short walk down the street from the hotel.>

"We may be joined by Corporal Stern shortly," he told Shakila. "I just got a message from him."

MrDrake · **Reply #1245 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:36:14 AM

"Stern? Oh yeah, Aimee's friend" Shakila mused some as she waited for her coffee to be bought over.

Once it was bought over, she put some sugar into it and stired it in before taking a sip of it with a bit of a purr as well, looking over to Shelton with a smile "Thanks again for the coffee, much appreciated indeed"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1246 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:43:50 AM

"No problem at all," smiled Shelton, still trying to figure out how he was going to pay for it, as he had no money.

<Hey, Stern? When you get here, you think you could slip me...> he glanced at the prices and did some mental math, <...$7.25? Under the table, on the sly?>

MrDrake · **Reply #1247 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:56:32 AM

Aimee meanwhile, was having a bit of a snoze in the hotel lobby for the time being, pretty much, just bored, that, and thought it would be nice to get some more shut eye as well, that, and hopefully that will also help her remember more of her friend, Hailey.

***

Jayden on the other hand, got another phonecall from his boss to tell him that his partner was now on their way "Yes sir, but who is it sir? I understand sir" he gave off a sigh as he closed his phone and looked to Neville "Apparantly my partner is on the way now, but still no word on who this person is and what have you"

Serris · **Reply #1248 on:** April 13, 2010, 12:54:42 PM

Neville nodded. "As long as he can help us, I am fine with it," he said.

He then passed by the coffee shop where Shelton and Shakila were. Several people were in the coffee shop as well.

"Well, Jayden, up for some coffee?" he asked.

--------------------

Cobalt Leader shook his head. "Hell no!"

"Perhaps we can watch the Schutzhund competition?" Spc. Crota suggested. He was reading the newspaper.

(OOC - There will be some "background" info on what exactly the Schutzhund competition entails in the Darwin's Soldiers universe later.)

"Aisha finished her fries and got up from the table and stretched " whenever you guys are ready to go, I'm ready to to head out..' She said to the others..

Noname · **Reply #1250 on:** April 13, 2010, 06:39:49 PM

Corporal Stern ran over to the coffee shop, and slipped exactly $5.00 over. <I don't have anything else smaller than a $20> He told Shelton, communicating mentally at a close range.

"Nice to see you here, Shakila" Stern added verbally.

MrDrake · **Reply #1251 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:41:32 PM

"Hello Stern" Shakila replied back to him as she drunk some more of her coffee.

***

Jayden gave a nod back to Neville "Coffee is always good" he spoke as he walked into the coffee shop.

***

Meanwhile, Aimee was still fast asleep, unaware that everyone was in town. As she slept, more of Hailey came back to her. What Stern told her, was true, in a sense, but not quiet either. She did like guys, but would not go after them either, being a bit too shy too as well. One could say that she was a little odd as well, as she would also look at other girls in the same way as well, even asking Aimee for some advice, to which Aimee would just shrug it off, not sure on what advice to give her, as she herself, wasn't the best person to ask about love in general.

The way that Hailey would like both guys and girls didn't actually bother Aimee at all, to Aimee, Hailey was just her friend regardless, she didn't care about it, just liking her for who she was.

"Hey, Stern." <Thanks,> Shelton sent back gratefully. At least he could pay for Shakila's cappuccino.

He took another sip of coffee, noticed Neville and Jayden, and waved at them. "I forget, what's the cop's name again?" he whispered to Shakila.

MrDrake · **Reply #1253 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:19:11 PM

"Jayden, he's FBI remember" Shakila whispered back to Shelton "But as far as I know, he's on our side, otherwise, by now, FBI would be all over the place and on the news and what have you about what's been happening as of late"

Noname · **Reply #1254 on:** April 13, 2010, 08:42:01 PM

"What's this about the FBI?" Stern asked, curious. "I think I ought to know, given the stakes that our mission holds."

Serris · **Reply #1255 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:07:49 PM

Alfred threw his trash away. "Let's go see Jayden about getting our gun licenses," he said.

Zachary nodded.

"Cobalt Squad, we're leaving!" Dr. Zanasiu said.

Spc. Crota put the newspaper down.

Dr. Zanasiu and his group headed out of the food court.

---------------------a

Neville paid for a small cup of espresso and some biscotti.

He sat down next to Shelton and grabbed a newspaper.

"So Shelton, have you heard of the United Schutzhund Clubs of America? They're holding a Schutzhund competition in Culeston in a week or two," Neville said.

The Crimson Squad couldn't discern between the captain's bullets from the others when they ricocheted around them. They quickly exited the door, but not before Erin unloaded her API rounds into the consoles, sending shrapnel across the bridge, downing two more enemies.

The surviving mercenaries tried to follow, but one of the consoles exploded in front of them.

----------

Ariol remained out of sight as Deathwind began moving down the hall for the bridge, where he had sensed the Pelvanida experiment used her psionic powers again. Ariol picks up his radio. "Security leader to lab. Deathwind remains at large and has proven itself as a liability. Send a Dragonstorm weapon to dispatch project Deathwind. Oh yes, kill Dr Tsang... It's his work that project Deathwind is tearing up this ship..."

----------

Mallard & Eron were quick to put down the threat and entered the reactor room. They quickly placed the charges they have left and exited the room...

MrDrake · **Reply #1257 on:** April 13, 2010, 10:31:44 PM

"Oh that, just that Jayden there is FBI, that's all" Shakila replied back, sipping her coffee some more.

***

Jayden got himself a coffee as he took a sip of it, already having a small headache from his boss telling him what to do, something he didn't really need at the moment as he took a seat on a nearby table as he rubbed his forehead some as well.

Serris · **Reply #1258 on:** April 14, 2010, 02:45:29 AM

Head of security on the Surrounded Sea was John Cade, a colossal Bison.

He radioed one of the scientists in the lab. ""

------------------

Capt. Lutra hid underneath the console until he was sure they were gone. His fine captain's uniform was tattered and burnt but his armored vest saved his life, at the cost of several broken ribs.

He staggered over to the intercom and radioed Ariol. "Ariol-" he coughed, making his ribs burn. "this is Capt. Lutra, the bridge has been compromised and I am injured," he said.

He slid back underneath the console.

------------------

Dr. Bailey walked into the coffee shop where Shelton, Jayden Cpl. Stern, Shakila and Neville were relaxing. He ordered a glass of hot green tea and a small hazelnut torte.

"So what's up for now?" he asked, sipping the hot tea.

"Just looking forward to the Schutzhund competitions," Neville said. He was still reading the newspaper.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1259 on:** April 14, 2010, 03:19:28 AM

(OOC: Was John Cade supposed to say anything?)

"Getting a bit of relaxing in, before everything goes to hell again when we infiltrate Dragonstorm," Shelton finished his coffee. "Whenever that is. Was James thinking of doing it today or tomorrow?"
