Mercenaries for life

[Jinksa]

First day at work for the MERCENARIES TM.


You are a usually a crew of two going from mission to mission, doing what ever is paid to whom ever. No backing from a mission. No mercy, or of course no pay.


You are a rookie. Nothing more, nothing less lead out for first time by a senior member of MERCENARIES TM. towards your first job. Are you ready for it or....you will return back to your planet in a box....WITH NO AIR HOLES.

 

[Jinksa]

Start of a glorius ADVENTURE!

​

You wake up in the Ship floating through space. You were sleeping for about 2 days due to the long journey and the space warp which allowed your ship to travel from galaxy to galaxy. As you wake you start to remember what are you and where you have boarded this ship.


You wanted a adventure and leave that piece of rock called mars and so you Did. You Joined MERCENARIES TM and co. They trained you for a month but quite frankly you got nothing from it. Still you got a free bed and a bunch of other stuff(which they probably picked up from a pile of corpses.) And now after CHEATING on your pass exam your off with a veteran for your first mission, which was kept a secret until you reach your mission. You have boarded the SS Dust Bucket....A nasty looking crap pile of a ship, but never managed to see your crew mate.


You are now currently in Room 4 of the lower Deck, the bedroom section, in bed waking up. (You describe it) and are hearing the slightest of whispers across the room, or the loudest of Screams on the Upper Deck.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao awoke in a narrow, low bed, one that had seen better days more than a few days ago. She distastefully pulled aside some musty smelling blankets that had kept her warm for her prolonged rest, and slowly sat up, gingerly resting her feet onto the cold, rust spotted floor. Cai Jiao shivered a little and slipped on a pair of socks, her tiny feet taking an instant dislike to the cold.


Once her feet were dealt with, Cai Jiao rose out of bed and staggered to the attached bathroom, turning on a sink inside and splashing cold, slightly orange tinted water onto her face. She shook her head a little, rising to her full height and stretching her arms to the sides before turning her torso from side to side, cracking her back each way.


It was only when Cai Jiao had finished working the kinks out of her body that she listened hard enough to pick up the sounds of a voice on the Upper Deck. She quickly exited the bathroom, pulled on her shoes, grabbed both her pistol and wrench, tucking both into their respective places on her pistol belt, and made her way upwards, walking with a bend to her knees, hunched over a little to make less noise. She peeked around the deck apprehensively and listened again, trying her best to pinpoint the location of the generator of the noise.

 

[Jinksa]

You exit the room to find your self in the mess of a kitchen. It seems someone here had a fight with the fridge. The Fridge won since most of its content is placed and wrapped in cold bags bough from ship cooler juice. The fridge its self emitted a A nose cringing smell.


You hear more clearer the noises from the stairs up where you noticed a blue glow similar to a hologram bloom.


WHat you meanWHAT I mean!.....-a stomp was heard. - I told YOU! Billy-Mo cheated us!


You noticed a few more doors around the kitchen, one of the doors was open and showed a broken up engine and a hole bunch of broken tools around it.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao ignored the in-shambles kitchen area, wrinkling her petite nose at the foul smell. She scaled the stairs quietly, drawing her pistol and pointing it at the ground cautiously. She then took cover in the door frame atop of the stairs, peeking into the room.

 

[Jinksa]

As you came up to the stairs and peeked up you saw the Comm room of the ship. A long oval tabble with a Holographic image speaking. On the other side Was a rather large(not muscular or fat) man with only padded pants and black T-shirt With a small MTM in red on the sleve. He looked pissed and annoyed. On the hologram is your employer. A old white tattooed olmar By the name of Clarence. Strangely he seemed more amused then pissed unlike the other guy.


They continued to speak:


Dear friend, Kosta chill man. You are a professional.


PROFESSIONALS ARE NOT GIVEN THE WORST SHIP YOU CAN FIND ON MARS AND A ROOKIE WHO EVEN DOES NOT KNOW YOUR NAME!


Ta,Ta,Ta mr Kosta. Don't raise your voice or the little one will hear you.


I DON'T CARE EVEN IF FACKING URKIN HEAR ME! YOU SET ME UP FOR A HELLS MISSION JUST TO SEE IF THIS NEW GREENHORN HAS THE STUFF OR IS ANOTHER LOST FILE IN YOU "MISSING CASES" CABINET. AND BY THE FREEZING RINGS OF JUPITER WHY PICK THIS SHIP FORM ALL OF BILLY-MO'S ONE!


The hand crashed down on the table blurring for second the image.


Yes, I set you up...Only cause you BROKE MOTHERS SHIP! DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD THAT WAS YOU LUNATIC.


The emotions exchanged, Now the big guy was smiling and the commander was a angry. Kosta smiled like arse and said smoothly:


Oh come on! You still angry after that little piece of love boat. I said i was sorry. Who was suppose to tell me that some girl can go ballistic over such a little thing as ...


The commander cut short the doubtful reply.


I DON'T CARE KOSTA! HERE IS A NEWS FLASH! YOU FINISH THIS JOB PERFECTLY. RETURN THAT CRAP TOSTER IN TIP TOP SHAPE AND DON'T FACKING ALLOW THE ROOKIE TO DIE OR YOU ARE GOING ON THE STREET WITH ALL OF YOUR CREDITS GOING TO ORPHANS WITH KIDNEY PROBLEMS! OVER AND OUT!


With that the message ended. Kosta sighed hard as shook his head deep in thought.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao let out a sigh of her own, tucking her handgun back into it's holster. She tucked a few errant strands of her long black hair behind her ear, swinging her narrow hips a little more than absolutely necessary as she walked to the end of the oval table, resting her hands on the edge of the table and leaning on them. "Sounds like you're in trouble." she remarked quietly to her comrade, looking him over skeptically. He looked to be a bit old for mercenary work, and seemed to be less musclebound than most.


"But I'm in the same ancient, rusted, piece of shit boat, I suppose." she added, diverting her gaze to the hologram projector.

 

[Jinksa]

The Mercenary turned to her with a something between a grin and a thrown:


Well good morning to you. For a minute there i though you were in cryogenic sleep. Well lets get things rolling with what should have been done first.-he extended his bearly hand(both harry and bulky)-Kosta Din of Mercenaries TM. Glad ta meet ya recruit.Hmmmmm....you seem a bit buffed. What did they feed you in boot camp, bloody meat and raw eggs?


After Cai replied suddenly from the Hologram projector on the Table. popped another image. A single red glowing dot. A British calm and collective accent called back:


Ahhhh, I see That the other meatbag is awake. This is glorious.


Kosta Jumped a bit, but then he calmed down:


And that is the reason I did not go to bed. Cai, meet our sheeps AI Hall 9001.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao gently shook Kosta's hand, her own light brown hand much smaller than his, though her arms were almost as thick, and almost purely muscle. She shrugged, taking a step back and frowning as she looked over to the hologram projector once more, having turned her attention to Kosta during the handshake. "A pleasure, I'm sure." she said grimly, also started by the AI's sudden entrance.

 

[Jinksa]

Ok with that out the way here is the Job.... He pulled a hologram keyboard and entered a order.


Hall diapered from the hologram and in his place came three objects. A planet, a schematic of a city and what seemed a 3d projection of the outside of a nightclub. Suddenly Hal's voice started to ring through the intercom once again:


This most marvelous temple of flesh is called "Wings". A Urkin exclusive adult meatstick place....Our employer has hired us to "Pick up" his by product of loin bulge.


Kosta sighted yet again as he pushed a few commands. Suddenly over the three images came a flat image of a young Female Urkin( a lean tall and gray skin humanoid with feather fluff instead of hair and eyebrows). She was lean with gray silky smooth skin, while hair plumage and bird like eyes( a big black dot with white edges). She had human features , but she was for sure not human and actually the first Female Urkin you have seen.


Our Chip brain friend meant, This girl ran of from home and joined a Strip club of all place to crash in. Now her mother the old hoot is paying a big loopass stack of money for her return. Preferably with all her nice feathers on her and not a single box on her door step. - He started yet again to dig deep in the computer database- I got no idea what is a Urkin strip club and its illegal so we are going in there blind and on a "non so friendly planet".My plan: Bust in, shoot everything which is not the girl and get out before the army get there. Do you have any better ideas.


Kosta dragged the holo keyboard across the tabble so you can observe all the information you got at hand.


OCC: This is a Hard INT test due to the house being out of the city planing and the photos are flat images.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao eyed the Urkin distastefully, caring little for non humans. She listened passively to the story, frowning deeply. She shook her head, checking on the location and build of the target building. "I'd say we split up and go in different ways. I'll go through the front, as a customer, and see if I can spot our target, just to make sure that she's actually there. Then you can go through the back with some heavier weapons, and we can work towards each other, so she can't run away."Cai Jiao suggested, looking back up at Kosta for input.

 

[Jinksa]

Kosta nodded to that:


That's seems legit. At least we won't scare her this way. And it seems you have read your homework. The Urkins are a matriarchal society so you will be seen as more superior then in there...But that means you have to leave your gun with me.-He started to pocket him self. After a second he pulled out a shifty looking Health shot- Here take this. Hal added a chemical which made this a sleepy potion...without saying anything to me. For some reason I think they will allow you to carry drugs.


You hear the laughter of the computer. Kosta grunts as some embarrassing memory jump back to him.


He goes back towards his weapon rack and picks up a Riffle(think Aliens Riffle). He double checks the solid bullets and clicks the reloading machinery and said:


Once you find the girl ring me to knock Softly . You could use the distraction to drug the bird brain and drag her in the darkness away....Can you do that?

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

"I can hide it anyhow." Cai Jiao replied, sticking the shot into her own pocket. She looked herself over quickly and shook her head, glancing back up at Kosta. "I will, but looking like this, it'll be a miracle if I can even get in without setting off alarm bells." she added. "When's the last time you went to a strip club in a jumpsuit?" she asked.

 

[Jinksa]

Last Friday? It was these strange planet of half humanoid-half spider things....I went there just because I have seen much of this galaxy and those dance moves were ....Phenomenal . And you are right, you can not go in the firms Jump suit. Lemme check on something...


He went of towards his room which was on top deck and tussled a bit with a pile of clothes. He finally came out with something less appetizing then the jumpsuit. It was the Shortest pink skirt ever, it looked like a head strip, a bra with pink hearts for cups and what seemed a green leather jacket(which cover the jumpsuit marks.)


Sorry...This was a punishment for a bet I lost. I had to wear these back base for a entire day while playing pool.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao took the outfit from Kosta with a shrug. "It'll do." she said with a sigh, not exactly relishing the idea of appearing in public in it. "Who knows, I might even find somebody rich enough to let me quit doing this shit." she mused, setting her wrench, pistol and toolkit on the table. "You'd better have those for me, in case something goes wrong." she said simply, walking towards a closet to change.

 

[Jinksa]

He shook his head. He did not expect her to take the outfit, but what ever. As long as she is not going there with a target on her back. Sadly her target has moved somewhere else.


He leaned by the pole of the door where she went to change.


Do i look like the engineering type. For hell sakes I can't fix a warp sake fridge. ...Oh and sorry for the smell....I was forced to wear that once.

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

"That doesn't mean that you can't carry them for me." Cai Jaio replied tiredly, pulling off her jumpsuit and slipping on her new outfit, looking over herself and crinkling her nose a little. She zipped the jacket up halfway, stepping back into her shoes and opening the door. She took two paces out, feeling ridiculous. "And I'm going to work on that the moment I get back." she decided, trying to steer conversation away from her clothing.

 

[Jinksa]

You look better then I wore it...-commented the big man not being impressed by the suit SINCE HE WORE IT.(don't ask how he got in the skirt)


Kosta picked up the wrench and pistol and at that time Hal called:


Calling Bumpo the clown, and the dear lady with no clothes, Planet ahoy.


I really need to install Windows 97 over him....At least the ship crashing would be better.-he cursed and then turned to Jaio.-Raddy to party?

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

(I'd like to say that I woke up my family laughing at that. It was great.)


"Ready as I will be." Cai Jiao said reluctantly, cracking her small knuckles. "You sure you have my back?" she asked in return, prepared.

 

[Jinksa]

He clicked double time the riffle with safety on.


Don't worry. Its not my first time busting whore dens.....but usually is not on duty.


-------------------------------


It took a hour to land on the planet.


The planet is self was polluted and overcrowded. The air was muck green, the streets black from the fallen ash from the refineries. Even Cai's suit became a tone darker. On the landing pad they had no problem since, there were many human traders who were carrying a delicacy to the Urkin from Terra. Earthly apples.


You took a hover cab towards the club.


Neither the cab driver or the police stopped Kosta to ask what he is planning with that riffle due to him following the Warrior code of the Urkin. Aka Every Urkin with a weapon to kill.


You arrive at the club and noticed something odd. Even though you were going into a whore house, only female Urkin were going in. A body guard was at the front collecting fees. He looked miserable. Kosta looked at him behind the alley as a few Urkin Kids (almost tall as Cai, but still around 5 year old) started to play around you.


Well here is the hard part. You must get in, but we got no credits to our name. Can you try and charm him?


For seduction Roll a Average Cha Test. But if you find a right way to address the bodyguard, you will get -5 to the roll(you need to get equal or lesser to your own CHA)

 

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao did her best not to frown, as she was surprised by her neighbors in line. All were women, contrary to her expectations. She shook it off and nodded, touching up her hair and approaching the bouncer, staggering a little, as if she had been served too much to drink. She put on a smile and rested her tiny hands on his wide shoulders, leaning into him a bit, looking up at the Alien. "Well aren't you too handsome to be standing outside all by your lonesome?" she said sweetly, slurring her words together a bit. "How about we go in for a drink or two?" she suggested, gently trying to tug him towards the door.

 

[Jinksa]

The guard looked at her like she was from another world, and indeed she was....

The guard Shrugs you of and give you shoo signal.


Scram pinky.


Apparently your charms did not work on him. Why not out wit him(same test difficulty but with INT )

[Lucya Kunzenov]

Cai Jiao sighed, wringing her hands. She leaned in once again, her face now grim. "I need your help." she pleaded. "One of my friends is in there, I need to see her." she begged.


 
(Can you delete those, my internet derps sometimes.)

 

[Jinksa]

(occ: I rolled for you a Int test, You got 5 and that is way below 17. You pass it with flying color. You needed a lower dye.)


The guard looks confused .


You...got someone inside waiting for you....Jeezzz. I don't want to be pecked again....Just go and dont tell anybody.


You entered the club and Earned 6 xp.


The club was dark and clouded with opium clouds and .....apple juice. Gallons of apple juice. For the Urkin apple juice is the equal of vodka. You could see many working girls....servicing other girls of the Urkin Kind....some of the working girls were even human. But for now you did not see the target.


Then suddenly from the stage with loud music came out the girl you were looking for dancing in what is a very skimpy thong and two-party streamer covers for the ......AHem.


She seemed to enjoying to be stretching her legs to present to the crowd all of she has. She was just having a blast. If you wanted to get close you must punch your way through a crowd of of Urkin girls who are two heads above you.


(occ: Roll 1d30(hard POW test if the result is lower or equal to yours you pass.)
