The Flotilla

[Shenzii]

Taryn eyed it for a moment. She smirked and downed the drink. Being a human had it's advantages but those advantages could cause a problem. She put the glass down and shuttered slightly.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orris quickly drank down the glass, anticipating her to shake him about. She didn't disappoint; "Come on, you deserve as much credit, I wouldn't be back in time for this, or might not even be alive if you didn't come with!" Orris groaned as he got off the stool and followed her through the crowd, who was somewhat curious as to why she was dragging that outsider with her. She walked up to the Admiral and pulled Orris close to her. "I can't take all the credit, Orris did at least half the fund gathering for our gift, and kept me alive through it all!" "Is this really necessary? I just want to enjoy the festivities without a shoot-out..."

Sadly, Orris would not get his wish as he was halfway onto the stage, and clearly visible to anyone who would bother to look.

[Entaru]

Nero was caught off guard as he spotted the Turian making his way to the podium with the Quarian who had been called up.  "What is a Turian doing here?  To be called up there must mean something important."

[Gabag]

"Who are you Turian? how did you meet this girl?" the Admiral asked, asking for many of the assembled in the room.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orris looked away before speaking up. "The name is Orris, I met her while on mercenary work, she saved my life in a cave system we traveled through, and I ended up leaving the mercenary work to stay with her and... help her get the starship we arrived in..." "Orris, seriously, stop being so freaking passive, you helped me many more times than I did for you!"

[Shenzii]

Taryn turned to watch what the ruckus was about. A turian was up on stage. She cleared her throat and decided to move on. Her mission had yet to be fulfilled and this attraction gave her the perfect opportunity. She bumped into what she thought to be a Quarian and proceeded onward. Little did she know it was another human.

[Gabag]

A couple of the Quarians in the crowd cried in outrage. A turian, in their Fleet, not to mention a Mercenary at that. If this Turian was anything like the Blue Suns or Eclipse, he would be shunted out an airlock immediately.

" Settle Down, All of you! Now I know we're unaccustomed to having Non-Quarians on board, but he assisted a member of our people and helped us get a new starship. His mercenary work is not cause to judge him. And this week is supposed to be full of celebrations, not shunning an outsider! Said the Admiral, trying to regain control of the giant Quarian mob. The small Marine detachment began to go through the crowd to calm down the loudest of those outcrying against Orris.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"He ga-" she was going to yell back at them, but Orris grabbed her and she immedeatly stopped yelling. "Yelling at angry mobs is the last thing you want to do..." he mumbled, and was dissapointed at their reactions when their cries magnified at the sight of him restraining her. Seriously, I'm not even wearing mercenary armor and they're yelling at me to 'go back' to the Blue Suns...

[Entaru]

Nero grunted as a "Quarian" bumped into him.  He began to weave his way through the crowd, trying to see if there was anything to cause a distraction in the crowd.  This was supposed to be a low casualty mission, so he couldn't just drop an EMP grenade and grabb the Admiral in the confusion.  He had done it before with good results but the number dead from malfuctioning envirosuits severely cut his paycheck...so no point trying there. 

He would have to wait until the Admiral was done with his speech...unless.

Nero...you are just too terrible.

I know, aren't I...

Nero prepared himself and shouted so that the whole crowd could hear.  "HOW DO WE KNOW HE'S NOT A TERRORIST!  FOR ALL YOU KNOW THEY BOTH COULD BE!!  SHE COULD BE LYING!!"  Nero quickly ducked into the crowd so he could not be found.  The crowd began to become even more unruly. 

They didn't trust the outsider...and why should they?  Terrorists always struck during some big event...

...he should know...he was one of them.

[Shenzii]

Taryn made her way down the alley way. "There must be a back way to get to the Admiral. He isn't invisible." She said to herself as she began to scale a building, over looking the crowd.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orris turned to the right and tried to get himself and Ry away from the scene, because he knew if more accusations like that flew about, he would probably turn hostile and make the situation worse. Even if I'm being defensive, they'll shoot her and myself on the spot for drawing a weapon... "If you don't mind us doing so, can we get a back-door exit before the guns get pulled out?"

[Shenzii]

Ryn watched as the Turian and Quarian made their way to the exit. "Ah, there is my entrance. I need to make this quick." She pulled out her knife, hidden inside her suit, ready for use on her arm. "Let's get this over with. When should I bring him in?" She asked hitting the intercom placed in her helmet. "Bring him to the alley next to the pub and opposite of the bank." A voice responded. "Alright. Be there within half an hour." She turned the headset off and readied to attack. The admiral walked out with the turian and the girl. "Damn, how am I supposed to get past them..." Ryn growled halting her leap. She watched as the quarian talked to him. They began to walk off, the admiral alone. "Perfect." She dropped down with a light thud. "Sir, I need you. It's urgent." Her voice was perfectly toned. She waited for his response.

[Gabag]

The Marines in the crowd noticed this new arrival by the Admiral with interest and made their way over to him. After all, Quarians usually don't drop down from nowhere to speak to a man.
"SETTLE DOWN PEOPLE, SETTLE DOWN, THEY'RE FRIENDS OF THE QUARIANS!" The Admiral began to shout before he heard the thud and turned his head towards the new comer. He was sure others saw her too and they did. The woman they were looking at was very unusual. No alarms were ringing, so everyone was safe, no new messages on his omni tool from any of the Captains or Admirals. Something was amiss.

"A strange way to request a face to face Ms...? I won't feel right going with some stranger, Quarian or not." He asked, waiting for the marines to get there quickly.

[Shenzii]

"I don't mean you any harm. I had to come as soon as I could. Please, come with me. I think there is some trouble over by the bank." She stayed towards him. Taryn's voice quivered in false fear.

[Gabag]

"I never got your name... and we Don't have a bank, at least not on this ship, besides the Marines will be here shortly... wouldn't you rather like some security in law enforcement accompanying you?"
A couple of the marines now made it to the Admiral, and sat back watching the exchange
