"Quiet down, boy. This cat has more intelligence in its right paw than you have in your entire body. When I experiment, I experiment to create beauty and a better quality of life for all involved. When you do it, It involves the patient killing himself after the operation, or dying on the operating table. Insult my work again, and I'll see to it that you wake up missing an eye." Arthur spat to the kraut.[/QUOTE]
"HA! Did you forget who is ze vun who invented ÜberCharge? Deployed in more zhan 200 Terran military combat with a 99.9% success rate! I've graduated from my class vith [I]egregia cum laude[/I]!

Joseph laughed while showing him a picture taken many years ago

[Welp, I'm finally out of school, I'll post something later today.]
Arthur look at Joseph's picture and laughed.
"Two things are clear; you clearly have talent with photoshop, and you certainly have a sense of humour, the latter being quite rare on a German. You need only look at Varn, Sledge and Snufflebuns for a glimpse into [I]my[/I] talents. Have you even [I]seen[/I] my experiments recently? Wait right here." Arthur rushed into the science lab, wheeling what was clearly a body covered by a white cloth into the theatre.
"You may remember that I acquired a number of test subjects from Mr. Saw some time ago. Well, let me present to you the results of my attempts at a human-dog hybrid.
Arthur threw off the tarp carelessly, covering Sledge's unconscious body and revealing the monsterous creation beneath.

"TOP THIS YOU GERMAN FUCK, AHAHAHAHA!"
((Oh my god this is the best surgery scene ever :v:))
Having cleaned his cup, Dwan wondered what was happening outside of the bar. He decides to work on his languages and pulls out his copy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Languages". The book doesn't really teach languages per say, but it does teach one to pick up similarities between multiple languages. Though, this comes with the inherent flaw that words don't always mean the same thing in other languages. He's reminded of the time he once called an female alien a "gourge-slobbering bitch bag" when he tried to tell her that she has food in her teeth. Needless to say, what happened after resulted in Dwan barricading himself in a restroom stall.
"[My name in Dwan. My job is bar tending. I like quick fucks.]", Dwan says, trying to speak in Yanim's tongue. "That was pretty good, I think.", he says to himself, thinking that he said he doesn't drink alcohol.
Varn had finished watching the wrestling program. Lots of boring matches until the main event. "Glad I didn't give money for that." He looked at his PDA, no new messages. He still had time to burn. He looked around to check if anyone was coming and switched the channel. "And now, back to "All my galaxies" On the last episode, Rachel fell down a Sarlack pit, which left Sarah the only inheritor to Titanium inc. John is still in a coma and his evil twin is still on the loose." Varn gasped and exclaimed "Oh no!" And continued to watch.
Viper stood still as dread fill within the empty room, thinking over all the experiences Viper had have with soft-carbons. Most were quite negative due to the Sanghvi's limited understandings of the soft-carbon's emotions and their vocal commutations, all of witch is fairly alien to Viper.
Nevertheless, Viper felt that the experience with Iska was straining on Viper's mind. Felling that Iska would have an strong feeling of resentment towards Viper, due to the Khergian's warrior culture and pride.
Although, Viper feared that the Sanghvi's sight could enrage Iska. Viper couldn't rest otherwise as it wighted heavily on Viper's conscience.
Viper then begin work something that Iska could find value in as an find to help further Viper's apology. The blade that Iska used against the Sanghvi's shell during their fight seemed to have an sentimental value to Iska.
The memory give Viper an pause for an moment, the feeling of helplessness in Iska in face was disheartening but Viper press on to find components and tools needed to rebuild the blade that was broken within the fight.
[Uh, I think Iska repaired the blade a few pages back. But you could always make her a new one.
On a side note it's 13 fucking days left in the military. And guess who got promoted to corporal?
Thats right, this guy right here.]
[From Character perspective, I would say that Viper wouldn't know but I already knew that you had rebuilt it. Also congrats on the promotion.]
Viper finished gather the materials need and an few tools donated by Lion and begin to designed the holo-print of the weapon Viper had in mind for Iska.
The weapon's blade was to be fashioned after an ancient Terran saber, only an tad longer then the combat knife that was used by Iska before.
Viper looked over the old severed limb, most of it was blasted blacked by the plasma fire that ripped it off in the first place. With the only thing was value being it's talon.
Still sharp and ready for used, the talon was too damaged to be reattached though any surgical procedure, instead of letting rot in a stasis chamber.
Viper started to tear apart of the the lower part of the arm and had the talon removed for the blade of Iska's new knife.
Sharpen with an plasma cutter to an point of perfection, the rest of the blade was cut down to fit the holo-print. The handle was made from several miscellaneous items around room.
The grip was made to balanced and strong, Viper could't tell if it's uncomfortable or unwieldy due to the limitations of an Sanghvi's claws but was the blade was made to interchangeable at any rate.
After finishing work on the knife, Viper had the implant locate Iska's location within the Archius. Taking an moment to relax before walking over to engineer section of the ship.
In 30 mins, a mechanical gate in a heavily guarded room was shown. HarkArk security was tight, anyone could pop up any second by now. The guards reacted as the gate suddenly activated.
"Incoming teleportation from the network. Coordinates are identified Ma'am." An operator turned to Major Greene as they observed below. The teleporter was opening a wide gap for at least two groups to come out.
The first to appear was Harken Saw looking dapper as usual, adjusting his tie as some workers pulled up large mechanical crates using lifters. Two soldiers guarding a man in a coat stepped up, scowling at the sight of Harken Saw. Major Greene suspected her superior would come but not Harken Saw. He was unexpected. She walked down the room and performed a formal salute at the Lt. General.
Greene's soldiers immediately noticed the presence of the Lt. General and dropped everything they were doing just now. "Lt. General on deck!"
"Lt. General Brigg." She said. Brigg gave her a nod.
"Major. I take it that Archius XI in under your watch as of right now correct?" Brigg asked her, staring at her with such demanding tempo.
"Affirmative."
"Lt. General may I interrupt your conversation with this Major? I believe that I should ask her many questions about the crew that ported here two weeks ago." Harken Saw intervened which earned him a tempting look from Brigg.
"Glad to, [i]sir.[/i]" He said with displeasure. Harken Saw gleamed and turned to the Major, coughing for a bit until his was ready to speak. "Now Major uh.. Greene. For the two weeks have you checked the Archius for any problems? Any concerns you might be aware of?" The Masked man asked with certainty. She felt inclined to answer but worried also seeing how she was in front of her boss.
"Since they've ported here they have captured a live Crimson Soldier. When we came down to greet them the captured soldier committed suicide, causing an explosion in medbay. We attempted to help the injury as quick as possible but the Science Personnel denied it. Today, we've interrogated a synthetic from the Lunar Children." Major Greene explained, earning herself a staggering disappointing look from Brigg.
"Hmm, Lunar Children? Just small time thug terrorists. But a live captured Crimson Son soldier? I admit I'm rather impressed with them as they managed to capture one, but they are extremely dangerous if one exploded the med bay that far. Now where are they?"
Harken Saw asked as he looked at his surroundings. Major Greene didn't know what to think about him after meeting him personally after the first minute. He seemed to get straight to the point.
"The Archius Crew is located within the first floor." She answered.
"Right, lead the way Major. You too Brigg." Harken Saw gestured as his groups moved to the first floor.
Pippin, having found neither Herc or Sledge for that matter, returned to his bunk and started playing music from his personal computer.
Lion was monitoring security feed on both Archius and the station itself when he spotted the large group arriving.
He opened up his communicator. "Captain, we're about to get some company. I'll head down the ramp and greet them."
He then quickly jogged to the hangar and then down the ramp. He stood with his arms behind his back, waiting.
Yanim was about to reply to Lion when he suddenly jumped up and excused himself, saying something about a "large group" in the landing bay. She was curious, but was unable to run or jog, so she decided to take her time and pack some food to go. She bagged a few of the [URL="https://cookingwithcaveman.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/red-onions1.jpg"]delicious apples[/URL] she had been eating and then slowly made her way to the lift.
"Welp, time to put a show on then." Jeremy said as he heard Lion pick up a large group that was supposed to be here. He went out towards the ramp and saw Harken Saw, Kira, a General fella, and a bunch of soldiers moving at a slow pace.
"Made it in one piece I see?" Harken Saw asked as he saw the Captain of Archius.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that. I think I know what you're here for." Jeremy assumed.
"The sphere? Yes I suppose that is right I'm here for but I also wanted to check your ship Captain. A Major told me that there was a captured Crimson Soldier that caused quite an interruption." Harken Saw explained. Jeremy sighed and thought of Kira. His only choice was to allow Harken Saw come through.
As Yanim left, Iska followed suite.
With a false sense of confidence, Dwan left the bar to get some grub in the cafetaria. As he entered, he noticed Lion, Iska and Yanim leaving. Wondering what's going on, he starts following them.
Pippin had too much energy just to be lying down. He decided to get up and walk around and saw the group leaving the ship.
Varn's comm lid up, it was one of the new people major Kira send. "Uh, sir. Mr. Saw is on the ship with an escort. You might want to be next to the captain for the inspection." Varn turned off the TV and made his way to where the group was.
Lion extended his hand towards Saw. "Pleasure to meet you again Mr. Saw."
He the noticed the officer next to Kira and decided to greet him. "Lion, Senior Enforcer and Chief Weapons Technician aboard the Archius. Former SDF marine."
He extended his hand once again.
As the Viper begin walking though the halls of the ship, many members of the crew showed an sense of fear of the Sanghvi. Making Viper very nervous as the crew members made sure to get out of Viper's path, straying out of eye contact.
Viper's Implant show an that large group was gathering outside of the Archius XI, Harken Saw and his Privateers mercs.
Unsure about of the situation, Viper was hesitant to visit the rather large group waiting outside of the Archius XI. Most likely preparing to walk in and check on their rewards that the crew worked so hard to gain.
Yet, still feeling an strong sense of responsibility for the Archius XI along having doubts about Harken Saw and his men. Viper made sure to walk over to the edge of an gathering crowd awaiting within the hanger bay as the rest of the crew was readying for their visitors.
"Of course, to tell you the truth I'm a bit relieved." Harken Saw shook his hand, while finding Jeremy walking out. "Captain, good to see you. Hope you weren't wasting all your time digging that sphere. Hah." Harken Saw said but just earned some stoic emotion. It took a while for the businessman to process until he realized that the Captain wasn't laughing. Harken's disappointment left him frowning but lightening up.
"Not for the mood, right. But the sphere looks fine, hopefully your crew didn't waste all this time just to realize it might be empty." Harken Saw walked up to the large sphere, observing it's strange material as Jeremy felt a tingling sensation he wanted to punch Harken Saw in the face right now.
"What do you mean it might be empty?" Jeremy asked him, letting out a frustrated voice towards his boss.
"Well to put it in perspective imagine if someone already got it. But then all this time it wasn't there because he was simply too late. All that failed effort for nothing. But however that's commitment and motivation to start that hunt in the first place Captain." Harken Saw walked up to him and stared face to face.
Harken Saw turned his head towards the sphere. "You'll be surprised how much us Humans are willing to go out all the way for desires."
The Captain's urge to punch him was increasing ten fold as his crew efforts might be futile.
Varn was a bit behind the rest of the crew. By the time he arrived the captain was already talking to Harken Saw. He did notice something strange though. Viper was standing by the edge of the group. Varn walked next to Viper. "I'm glad to see you again. How are you doing Viper?"
As Viper begin to move an bit closer forward to get an better view of Harken Saw and co. Varn walked over to the Sanghvi as started to get an full view of his ballistic mask.
Viper was unsure if it was an simple mask for concealment of his personal identity or an disfiguring scar from one of his under the radar dealings gone bad.
Maybe something more, an implant that is part of a array of advanced cybernetics with a intimidating, featureless face to shield it.
Viper was caught off guard by Varn's presence, Viper looked behind to look at him and attempted to think of an respond to his question.
"Adequate." Viper said to Varn with an low, quiet voice to not gather any unwanted attention elsewhere within the crowd.
"Good to hear." Varn continued to talk in a hushed voice. "Take as long as you need to recover. I've been keeping your spot warm for the last several weeks, I can keep it warm for more. That is, if you wish to return to your previous position." After a short pause he continued. "I'm sorry, probably shouldn't talk about that part of the job for now."
Viper stood for an moment to think over the offer of coming back to head of Security, Viper felt a sense of confusion as Viper felt that due to the episode within the bridge would have gotten Viper an discharge from the ship, let alone being able to resume the job.
Nevertheless, Viper felt that Varn was unsuited to position. Due to his contractor nature, witch is, while dependable and well trained, still answering to the higher authority of his employers.
"It's quite alright." Viper said back to Varn, taking an minute pause. "You may need to speak to captain, if you plan on keeping your position as I feel that I would be...an risk in my current state to resume." Viper said with worried voice.
As Lion heard what Saw said he clenched one of his robotic fists. "Sir, I can assure you that the sphere still holds the piece. The pile of corpses, the fact that it had a protective energy field alongside some sort of barrier for my sensors all prove this."
"Suit yourself. By the looks of things, I'll be your head of security till the job is done. After that, I don't know, maybe I'll stay, maybe I'll go. One of the benefits of being a solo operative, you can decide what to do most of the time. " Varn noticed that the conversation between Saw and the captain wasn't going to well by the look of things."I'll have to cut it short. It was nice talking with you. If you need anything, just call. Take care Viper." Varn did a salute and left to meet up with the main group.
He stood next to Lion and greeted the officers. "Current head of security and representative of the Boome marines, Varn Merner."
Harken Saw let out a chuckle that would tear boulders apart. "Smart you are. Very reliable I see, I wouldn't have come here anyway if that wasn't the case." Harken said as he watched the sphere in place. He placed his hand inside his left pocket, pulling out something that gleamed with glossiness. The orb was sitting on his hand as he nodded to himself this was the deal.
Everyone observed him in motion as he found the setup in front of him. He laid the orb in the holding area. Watching as the relic did its magic. With no less than a min the relic opened with shutters exposing the 2nd piece of the Oracle. Harken Saw brightened his face and carefully pressed it against his palm, grabbing it.
"What? But the riddle said." Jeremy exclaimed
"Riddle? Pfft, ancient mumbo jumbo always deceives you into believing you need to do something in order to get it. The Kauzen have a fond humor is what that tells me."
Lion began analyzing the inside of the sphere before turning to Saw. He touched the smooth metal with his robotic hand.
"Sir, I'd like to have your permission to keep the sphere. The construction appears to be very durable... Juging by the composition of the material I'm fairly sure that I could replicate it into armor and weapon designs."
"That won't be necessary enforcer." A voice interrupted them. The Lt. General appeared before them. "This sphere will be seized by HarkArk Privateers for other research purposes. What you had in mind for other designs will not be needed." Brigg said.
