((Okay, thanks.))


Kirloc taps the corner of her flexipad, and it begins recording.

"I suppose I'll get this over with, then. I'm Kirloc, and for now, all any of you need to know is that I'm here to make sure that we do not deviate from the projected mission. So long as we all stay on course, we shouldn't have any problems with each other."

"Sarn Bloodedtooth." His(?) voice was a mechanical rasp, emanating from somewhere within his helmet. A pad popped open on his wrist and he typed some info into it,then nodded once and closed it.
The helmet and possibly the face behind it turned to look at everyone else, then he resumed gazing at the table, lost in his thoughts.

Dariush swept the table with his gaze, listening to the Minolian speaking. He habitually checked the knife hidden near his right hip and stood up from the chair, giving a sharp nod.

"Dariush Shass-Ra. Defended Mussalim against Paerlian invaders for half a year. The only survivor of the Caervolian Massacre. Commanded the Val forces during the conquest of Ur-Hamash. You may have heard of me. Nice...", - and here he swept the assembly with his gaze again, "...to meet you."

Judging by the crew's impassive faces, none of them have ever heard about Dariush, his feats or even the places he named. Not much surprise there. The Val sat back in his chair, scowled and prepared to listen to the rest of them.

"I remember fighting at Mussalim. If I recall correctly, I lost one of my troopers to a road bomb there. You wouldn't have happened to have been the defender’s commander at that time, would you?"
The armored figure was suddenly, as far as you can tell, staring intently at the Val.

Dariush's relaxed scowl transformed into a piercing glare upon hearing the Praelian's words.

"I distinctly remember saying just now that yes, I happened to command the defences. Has the fur obstructed your hearing, my dearest friend?"

With those words, the Val's hand slowly crept to his right hip where he kept his closest knife.

Elipsis uncrossed her hands, smiling disarmingly.

"Gentlemen. If we're going to bring up the past, I played both sides of that particular conflict, and profited quite nicely, myself.

What grudges you pursue when you are not on duty, are of no concern of me-but as of now, you are on duty, and under my command.

If you two would prefer to tender your resignations to me, in pursuance this personal matter, I'm sure our new employers will be happy to accept your 'retirement'..."


She lent the last word a certain weight-she could have said 'execution' in the same tone naturally.

"I'm no friend to you, Scale-brain. The only reason you won at Mussalim is because your kind was too slithery to come out and face u-"

Sarn heard the captain speak and shut up. But you get the feeling he's muttering into his armor as she does so.

Kirloc twitches her tentacles in irritation, and pointedly looks away, now facing towards the as-yet unintroduced crew

"Hildamesh Gregorium. Surgeon by training, and soldier by... circumstance. I... I have heard of these conflicts. We have obviously all proven something to be here today. I think that is what matters for now. Forgive me. I am not one for... nevermind. Captain, you can count on me. I have nothing left to lose in any case. "

Dariush's expression immediatly transformed into that of absolute impassivity, only his thin eyes betraying any emotion whatsoever.

"I don't have the slightest idea as to which grudge you are referring to... Captain."

((Gah, those dark colors are unreadable on the dark forum theme.))

Wow. This is amazing from the start.

Erm, sorry if I messed up the Backstory by adding some other details and elongated it, hope it won't hurt.

The loudspeaker in the room turned on and you could all hear the voice of a young man.

"The Tycheros is waiting for you on docking level 3 in bay 4. This is a very important mission and there is little time, further information can be found on the captain's terminal on the ship."

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

Elipsis stood up to her full height-four and a half foot plus nothing-and motioned for the crew to make ready.

"See you on the bridge, gentlemen."

then she walked out with her hands behinds her back.

Dariush followed the captain with a grunt.
