[In terms of locations, the following people are at the Archius: Jordon, Dolosus, Isaac, Kr'fernir, Otso, François, Tussor, Pyrovik, Byron and Zach; Jeb, Colin and Lemmy are at the docking station; Yanim, Lion and Dwan are with Roughrider and everyone else is outside of the bug cave.]
[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;47510030]"Yashta! [Hell yes!] You are good pilot, Lion. No bullet hit us in flight."
Only then did she notice Dwan sitting in the roughrider, to her surprise. Lion ordered him to man the rear gun, giving him cover as he approached the wrecked truck. Until they were sure Perra had no backup plan, Yanim decided to remain at the controls of the dropship.
She radioed Jeremy. "Captain, we just put stop to Perra's truck. Lion is moving to capture her, but there still is a question of how to transport queen's carcass. I recommend to order the Archius to crash location so it can do job of winching the wreck into the hangar."[/QUOTE]
"Good Idea, go ahead and order them, I am a bit busy here with Viper so I can't right now." Jeremy said
He then walked over to the destroyed ship and sat down next to Viper.
He pulled out a cigar, lit it and put it in his mouth.
"Viper, don't you fucking die on me, that's an order." Jeremy said.
Colin walked closer to the man to prevent himself from having a shouting war.
"I don't suppose you know who the Captain of this ship is, do you? I've been looking for a client and my best bet was to come look at these ships." explained Colin.
Colin decided to not tell him about deducing it from assumptions and luck because he would have looked like an absolute fruitcake.
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47510052]Lion approached the wreck, holding his rifle with the steadiness of a robot. He tried scanning for lifesigns however the heat from the wreck made that impossible.
He was only a few meters away now, closing in. The tinted windows made sure that noone could see through.
Lion walked up to the door and ripped it up.[/QUOTE]
[quote]Lion carefully examined the room as he ripped off the door with his bare robotic hands. He noticed no lifesigns appeared in front of him, Perra was nowhere to be found. Lion looked back around to try and find the Queen's carcass. What he found next never thought she could do such a thing. Perra's injured state left her such a bruised and dirty mess, it wasn't even funny. She raised her hand, in response Lion and Dwan raised their weapons until they realized she was holding some very deadly plasma charges.
"You see this assholes? Dura Shock Plasma Charges. That's right, you'll start shooting and this entire queen bitch will explode with me. Maybe this whole truck blows up given the state it's in right now." Perra said as she found it hard to breath.[/quote]

"Na, I'm just ringing the doorbell and asking for a job"
[QUOTE=Pezgod1;47510301]Until now, Arthur had been in a near catatonic state, following the team but doing almost nothing other than staring at the fleeing truck, thinking about Perra's betrayal and looking at the downed Sanghvi. The outside world was a bubble, and he wasn't in it. Until now.
The other truck flipping over snapped Arthur very much out of this state. He looked around, at the entirety of the crew panicking and going to shit around him. His attention then turned to Iska's actions concerning Viper. Arthur leapt out of his seat and began running behind to Lion, but not before whipping out his comms and sending a quick message to Joseph.
"Joseph, I need you and the lab ready immediately when we come back. Viper has fallen in the line of duty and we need our best doctor to save him. Get onto the databanks IMMEDIATELY and begin looking up Sanghvi biology, quick as you can." His attention turned to Lion, flames in his eyes.
"If we're killing this cunt, I'm taking the shot. I got the crew involved with the slimy bitch, I'm getting us out."[/QUOTE]
"Ja!" Joseph said as he immediately ran off to get the nearest transport back to the ship.
"This is Varn Merner calling any Boome Marines with transport in the area. We have wounded, repeat, we have wounded." This went on for a while, eventually Varn gave up, but he left the transmitter on just in case. He made his way to Iska and Viper.
"Anything I can do to help?"
The Sanghvi was compete awe, looking that instead of finishing her off. The soft-carbon picked up her broken body and carried her out of the dark frozen caves to the top side of tundra and sat her down near some wreckage that was still warm. Viper stood there seeing several soft-carbons walking and gesturing to her, most likely saying something as well but these words fell on deaf ears. Nevertheless the injured Sanghvi tried to respond to them by nodding her head.
"Why, Perra? Just... Why!" Arthur said, pacing around the beaten up traitor angrily.
"You've burnt my crew [I]and[/I] your crew, for what reason? To take the entire prize yourself? You must of realized that we would catch up to you with ease, especially with you on your own. And now you threaten to fuck us all by killing yourself and destroying the queen? You should understand how flippant and suicidal this action is. Consider this; our original agreement would of made you rich in your own right, instead of being hunted down like the greedy little bitch that you are. Even then, you could of fucked over your crew for the full 10 million credits, and had a staunch ally when needed." Arthur stopped pacing, gritting his teeth and aiming at Perra's head.
"How about this? You get up and disarm yourself [B]right now,[/B] and you can still have your share all to yourself. We will leave you be, and that is a true promise."
Perra could only chuckle but the extreme pain between her ribcage made her cringe in pain. "You're not the only crews I've managed to get away from, a couple of small time fuckers like you will only get in the way. I'm on the run and I intend to get all those credits to hideout."
She spat out some blood on the floor as an insulting gesture towards Arthur, still holding the charge.
"Big fucking girl, aren't you? You don't think I'm not big time? You're wrong, honey. I used to work with a lot of criminals back on Earth, when I lived in Europe for a time. When they took scores and bullets, I patched them up. They needed loyal and expendable soldiers? I cloned them. They needed to take out their enemies? I created biological agents and poisoned them. I've killed world leaders with these sort of attacks. Don't think for a second that I wouldn't find your hideout and do the same to you. I will gladly shoot you in the face right now if you don't take my deal." Arthur stated bluntly, his mouth slowly forming into a smile.
"You know why? Because any other way, you are fucked. I collected more than enough genetic material back when we killed the queen to create another one. I kill you and remake her as a clone, we'll take all of the credits without so much as batting an eyelid.
So, what's it gonna be?"
Perra stared bluntly at Arthur, daggers glaring at him like saucers. "Whatever your point is genius, you have no idea what trouble I'm in, what kind of organization is tracking me down is bigger than systems combined. A lot of direct influence, a lot of contracts. A damn NGO Superpower that's been tailing me for a year. But I guess my big score fuckin' failed big time while yours is up and running."
"Get ready Arthur because your crew will probably suffer the same fate just like any other average space vessel. You win. But I'd rather die than to go to jail you son of a bitch!"
Perra clenched her teeth and with a press of a button, activated the charges.
[I]A cracking boom went up through the sky, as Perra activated her charges. She exploded in a mist of blood and guts, gratuitously spraying Lion, Dwan and Arthur, as the truck behind her exploded as well.[/I]
"Fucking... god damn it. I knew this wouldn't end well. The moment she offered this job to us, I clocked her as a little off. Alright... Lion, Dwan, let's take a look at the queen's body. See if we can still use it." Arthur states to both other parties involved, stepping over Perra's corpse and looking the Screecher's body over.
Mini-Roll Critical Success![highlight][10][/highlight]: [quote] The matter of savaging that Screecher Queen unnerved Arthur to hell and back. Then they found it to their utter dismay. Wait. What was that metal thing? Arthur examined the metal cage like structure inside the blown up truck and found it all dented. "Durable frame I'd guess." Arthur stated, he noticed the amount of saliva spewing out of the cage. He widened his eyes and used a tool nearby and opened the damn thing like a kid opening up his birthday present. He saw the dead Queen fully intact, protected by this armored cage.
"My god... It's all intact since they loaded it up." Arthur was awestruck by this miracle. They were able to get their share of the profit now that their worries were over. They did it. This was a mission to be celebrated on.[/quote]
Arthur couldn't help but let out a series of maniacal laughs at the sight of the intact queen. The mission was over, and the crew stood to take the entire prize.
"AHAH! HAHAHAHAHA! We.. we can still salvage it! She died for nothing... A satisfying ending if I've ever seen one. Alright everybody! Let's get this queen bitch ready to claim our prize!" Arthur shouted to the rest of the team, signalling them to begin transferring the queen and cage to the roughrider. Before this however, he pulled aside Lion and Dwan, giving them a stern talk.
"If it's not obvious, I would appreciate the rest of the crew not finding out about my past in any capacity. I think this prize is more than enough to keep your collective silence. Got it?"
[Looks like it's a big motherfucking payday, boys and girls.]
"If it's not obvious, I would appreciate the rest of the crew not finding out about my past in any capacity. I think this prize is more than enough to keep your collective silence. Got it?", Arthur told Lion and Dwan.
Dwan was a man one could trust with secrets. "Don't worry Arthur, your criminal past is safe with me. You always have make sure you have trustworthy people know about your past, just like me.", Dwan says, not realizing what he just implied.
Iska noticed Arthur shouting at the truck in the distance.
Before leaving she looked over at Viper and sighed.
She was in good hands so Iska walked over to the queens truck. Arthur instructed her to begin unloading the queen for transport. While opening up the side hatch she looked over to Arthur and asked; "What happen to Perra?"
"I'm glad you understand, Dwan... more than I thought you would." Arthur replied to the dwarf, giving him a knowing smile.
"It's always nice to see other people in the life, if you know what I mean. We should have a drink when we get back to the ship. I'd love to have a little chat with you." Arthur said, as the rest of the crew approached. His demenour completely changed, flipping back to his seemingly normal smile and personality as Iska questioned him about Perra.
"She killed herself. Told us she was on the run from the police, and that if she couldn't have the payout, no one can. Tried exploding the queen to pieces, but failed to take into account the materials protecting the creature. She was a fool. Looks like our split grows larger, haha!" Arthur stated with glee, taking into account the five members of Perra's crew still alive.
"I'm glad you understand, Dwan... more than I thought you would.", Arthur told him with a knowing smile. Dwan, having realized what he had implied, grows nervous.
"It's always nice to see other people in the life, if you know what I mean. We should have a drink when we get back to the ship. I'd love to have a little chat with you." Arthur said to him. Dwan knows that he simply can't refuse such an offer, as they'd be celebrating a victory and, if he refused, people would suspect him of something. "Sure...", Dwan said in a toned-down sarcastic tone. He has to find a way to avoid talking about his past, but he knows Arthur is going to be insistent. He tried to think of a plan as the rest of the crew approached.
Bubal followed the trail where Perra's truck crashed at, seeing it blown up. "Work of Archius yes?" Bubal asked as he watched the vehicle from the distance. "Perra human scum, disrespect Rigel and all clans."
Dwan walked over to Bubal. "Don't worry, she's dead now. She will not disrespect Rigel anymore.", he tells him.
"Of course, truck in flames." Bubal stared straight at the Archius crew and bowed before them and raised his arm, turning his hand into a fist. "Thank you." Bubal said.
The remaining men on Perra's team took off their helmets and prepared to salute them all.
Hearing about Perras demise and the crew larger split, Iska let out a hearty laughter. She noticed Bubal talking to Dwan and walked over. "Karogu shtuka malkan as tasak" [dumb bitch blew herself up], Iska said, smiling widely. Bubal let out a chuckle and lifted his closed fist to her. Iska and Bubal bumped fists and began unloading the queen while talking about how they'd spend the prize money, what a bitch perra was and most importantly, how wasted they would get when celebrating the victory.
Lion looked at Arthur i awe. "My god you must've been the crazy-ass doctor that turned those martian separatists into green blobs. Trust me, your secrets will be kept safe with."
Lion inspected the cage before opening the comms.
"Alright everyone, we can definietly airlift the cage out of here. However, I strongly suggest that we secure the cage untill our wounded are safe. It's your call Cap."
Lion begun starting up the Roughrider. He motioned for Yanim to initiate boosters, to help reduce startup time.
When Yanim heard the explosion, she looked over her shoulder to find a jet of debris and pink mist escape the cabin of the truck. Lion and Arthur were standing nearby, but unharmed, while Dwan was still at his post. From her position, their conversation was too muffled to understand, but it wasn't hard to figure out that Perra had just offed herself. Others were beginning to arrive as well, and as the cargo block was torn open they began to celebrate. Yanim slid back into her seat and smiled. Obviously Perra had no backup plan and the queen was secure.
Lion took his seat while the others began to load into the Roughrider. He asked her to warm up the boosters, and so she placed the turret in standby and took the backup piloting controls instead. The mission was winding to a close and she was finally beginning to think about her share. The only question that remained was the wellbeing of Viper. Yanim had heard the radio chatter about an injured crewmate and deduced that it must have been about the security chief.

[ Docking station, yeah. I'm there now waiting for someone from the crew. ]
Jeb noticed two people outside the ship. Even though they had been there a while, he only now noticed because he was deep in thought
edit: [I wonder if this is where my character can become involved]
