The Flotilla

[Entaru]

Nero felt himself blush under the helmet.  Fortunately for him it was UNDER the helmet, so it went by unnoticed.  He readjusted the K.O.ed Marine over his shoulder and followed Ryn along the pipes.  "This may seem a bit rude, but what were you thinking when you tried to catach the Admiral?"

[Shenzii]

She stopped walking then slowly started up again. "To be honest with you... I wasn't. It's actually a bit hazy." She hoped she didn't sound crazy, but she was sure she did. The truth was was that she really didn't remember much. It was all a rush, something she did out of her gut feeling. She turned to Nero. "I'm not crazy... I promise."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orris put up with Ryia's talking until he heard several rounds being fired off at one of the ships. "Please stay here..." he quickly said before heading towards the sound of gun-fire. One marine was wounded, while the other four were behind cover, firing on quarians who were inside a rather plain looking shipment vessel.

    "Whats going on?!" he said to the nearest one as he himself dove for cover. "We asked if we could look at their crates for stow-aways, then they answered by shooting our private in the leg. We just got out of there only a few moments ago!!" Orris growled at the thought before firing a concussive round at a 'Quarian', since some were still fighting even though there were tears in the suits they wore. "Unless you guys like fighting more than your suits, I'm guessing that these arn't your kin..." he mumbled while ducking from another salvo of gun-fire.

[Entaru]

"Don't worry, I believe you.  It takes one to know one and I'm still trying to figure you out, so there's no way you're crazy."  Nero laughed a bit at his own joke as they continued down the pipe.

[Yugian]

(Stillz alivez. Just waitins.)

[Shenzii]

Taryn blushed. Thankfully it was hidden. She continued down the piping. It came to two pipes that split in different directions. She smiled and went down the left path. Something seemed familiar, which helped her choose her way.

[Entaru]

Nero looked down the pipe curiously as Ryn walked down it.  Looking to his omni-tool, he nearly fell off the pipe again except this time in surprise.  She had chosen the right path again.  Okay, now that's just ****** up.  Nero shook his head in disbelief as he followed Ryn.  This place was a maze and yet she had gone down the right path before Nero even had a chance to check...twice.  He'd have to talk with his superiors about her when all of this was over.

[Shenzii]

Taryn continued to lead. "These pipes go on forever!" She laughed. She wanted very much to remove the silly suit. It was so heavy and she was getting hot.

[Entaru]

Nero smiled under his helmet and looked back at his omni-tool.  "We should be on our way out shortly.  There's a disposal access that should come out right next to our ship."  Nero felt his cargo stir on his shoulder.  The strring was quickly stilled as Nero jabbed his finger into one of the Marine's pressure-points.  "We better hurry...this guy ain't gonna be out mu-" Nero was cut off as he heard the sound of gunfire down the tunnel.

[Shenzii]

Ryn looked at Nero. "I think we may have some company." She looked ahead of her. "We're really close... I think we can make it..." She waited for Nero to respond.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orris had apparently been the deciding factor in the fight as the fake Quarians were now down from seven to two still-living members with only an additional casualty on the marine's side. Normally humans, since they exibit no true affinity for 'otherwordly' powers, would have surrendered by now... they're probably trying to hold out until the rest of them come back... too bad they'll die before then. he took the one on the right out with an incendiary shell, leaving only one "Quarian" with a pesky shield entrenched near the ship entrance.

[Shenzii]

Taryn knew the shots were not because of another incident. "Nero, we need a plan..." She looked at him urgently.

[Entaru]

Nero grimaced, his mind back on the job.  "Don't worry, I'll deal with the Marines.  You take the package and keep them from getting on the ship."  Nero put the KOed Marne down and sprinted for the exit.  He looked out of the disposal unit and saw the ship under attack.  He growled to himself as he looked at the attackers, and prepared himself.  Then, all at once, three of the Quarian marines dropped dead as he Reaved the group. 

Cerberus now had the advantage of numbers and position.

((No one jeapordizes Nero's success rate))

[Chrono Blackwyng]

A plume of fire at the entrance of the ship signaled the fall of the last defending "Quarian" shortly after the three marines fell. Orris hopped over the crate he was hiding behind, and was looking around for whoever took out the marines. Ryia was still at their ship, but she was getting edgy, wanting to go into the fight but also knowing she was the last thing that kept their ship from being hijacked.

((Only if it jeapordizes Orris' survival rate...))

[Entaru]

Nero, still hidden, threw his voice so that it seemed to come from everywhere. "Leave...you are hopelessly outmatched, Taurian.  Unless you want to share the same fate, I suggest you proceed quietly back to your ship."  Nero's voice was dripping with venom.  Ths mission was supposed to go quickly and quietly and some rookie decided to start a firefight halfway through the mission.

Nero had passed the point of ticked off and was surpressing rage at this point.
