[Hawk132]

Ryker sighs due to the potentially deadly shenanigans his colleagues are doing.

Once Sharp gets in, drive to the delivery location.

[ATHATH]

Get in the van, and reinstall my firewalls. Be on my guard, and shoot any screen that has a knight on it several times without hesitation.

[Pancaek]

"Sharp! Quit wasting time and get in the van. I believe I had informed you this was a time sensitive job, this is no time to fool around with your tablet."

Ken calls out from the back of the van. Sharp gets in and Ryker turns the engine on. They set off to the delivery point, with Ken attaching mods to the weapons. He adds the underslung launchers to the assault rifles, along with scopes. Meanwhile, opposite from Ken, Sharp makes sure all of his firewalls are back up. He subconsciously rubs his robotic arm, ready to shoot the annoying little ghost the second he sees him.

In the drivers seat, Ryker is listening to local pirate radio station as he's driving to the destination. In his pocket, Yuurei is optimizaing his firewalls. The drive itself is uneventful, the gps software leading him through an optimal route skirting the industrial zone. He's slightly suprised when the corporate plot turns out to be a dilapidated office building with an equally old and abandoned workshop hangar building. A man in a labcoat stands near the gates of the workshop and waves at Ryker to go inside. Ryker parks the van just inside of the large workshop. A Truck is already parked there, with another man in a labcoat working at a laptop and a man in a business suit waiting around. A makeshift fireing range is set up along the lenght of the hangar. The man in the business suit pipes up first.

"Ah, there you are. Right on shedule, too. Very good, if you would be so kind as to unload the merchandise on the floor and open them up, we can begin the test and get this over with."

[Stirk]

Well that was quick and painless. I'm sure nothing will go wrong from here out!

"Alright. I am sure these quality weapons will withstand whatever test you put them to."

Start unloading the van.

[Hawk132]

Van unloading is go!

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Begin looking for fancy sprites worthy of a hero also hide self from view on the phone I'm on.

[ATHATH]

Sharp remains vigilant, and attempts to locate ATH's position.

[Pancaek]

"Alright. I am sure these quality weapons will withstand whatever test you put them to.", Ken says as he and Ryker begin unloading the van.

"I'm sure they will be satisfactory. Do step back back from the crates once you're done unloading them.", The man in the business suit responds, with a smile that is much too perfect.

Sharp, meanwhile, attempts to locate where Yuurei has escaped to. Through some clever tracing, he manages to conclude that the little ghosts jumped into one of the devices on either Ken or Ryker's person. Yuurei hides himself in a not often used part of Ryker's cellphone's memory, and looks up a new sprite for himself. He manages to find one. Sprite artwork has gone a bit out of fashion since people can play vr games simply by pluggin their brains directly into a pc, so it's hard to find good sprites these days.

Spoiler: sprite (click to show/hide)

Once Ryker and Ken finish unloading the crates, the businessman signals the scientist. The scientist taps some things on his tablets. The side of the truck begins to open up upwards, revealing a row of humanoid forms attached to a central wall. Though they are humanoid in form (two legs, two arms, head) they look nothing like actual humans. Their heads are just rectangular blocks with a variety of sensors and antennas. Their torso and limbs are bare gunmetal grey metal, covered with armoured plating. When the five inside of the van power on, they jump down in a robotic, jerky way. The scientist taps some more things into his tablet, and the five robots make their way over to the crates. Each takes a different sort of weapon, checking it over and loading in a fresh magazine.

"As you can see, we'd like our newest project to have some live fire testing. It shouldn't take long."

Ken realizes that this is the reason the corp was so eager to get their hands on his weapons. Developing anything for military purposes is a very strictly regulated business, allowed only for governments and legitimate pmc's.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Use new sprite because shovel knight is amazing and secondly try and type a message to ryker that he would receive have said message say "Ryker!!!!?!,Sharp Tryed to murder me after he threatened me and I hacked his brain and i showed him pictures as retaliation!

((in the spirit of moving things along, tiny update ))

You make Ryker's cellphone vibrate, with your message coming up as a notification should he look at the screen

[Stirk]

"Interesting. As far as I am concerned, we never saw them and the deal never happened. We will be gone the instant you finish testing and payment is confirmed."

Still going off without a hitch. The combat-bots are interesting, but nothing that changes the deal. Its not like my business is particularly legitimate, glass houses and all that. It would certainly doubly explain why the augments weren't even considered, even if it wasn't a prosthetic company, they are hardly going to need those kinds of weapons here. If they are just using it for testing, that is too bad. It likely means they won't be repeat costumers, they have enough weapons to be done testing whatever by the time they wear through them all. If they do go into combat, and are successful, I might get another shipment or two to them. In any case, this job is done. Once I confirm payment, of course. Chances are once we drive away, we will never see them again even if we wanted to. Can't leave without knowing the money is where it should be.

[Hawk132]

Ryker pulls out his phone to see who messaged him. Once he sees it was from Yuurei, he quietly (so as to not disturb the deal) tells him this.

"You kinda had it coming. Hacking brains isn't usually met with approval."

He then goes back to bodyguarding.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Another message appears.
Actually he tryed to kill me first I hacked his brain in retaliation.

[Hawk132]

"What I saw was trying to shut you down for a few seconds. Not deleting you."

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Message
What I said was "I'm invincible nothing can kill me" or something along that lines and he said something along the lines of "this could" and he didn't turn me off I'll tell you he left me in a black void of terror!
