*The person standing next to the supervisor takes the comm now, his face is masked except for his chin and mouth, blonde hair coming out at the top*
Masked Man: How can we know she is alive Ronin? Since verification over a secured comm link is next to impossible how about you start thinking something else instead of conning us.
*Behind him a younger woman is waiting and listening to the man sent from their employer. *
Masked Man: Since you have men dying we want one thing and one thing only our dead. Then you have a trade, we aren't all scoundrels after all. You will meet us when you see us. I will make sure of that. In 5 hours at least.
*The comm channel ends..*
Masked Man: Leave it open for 5 hours and accept a destination.
*Hawk closes the channel and turns to Kira.*
Hawk: Damn, they're good!
Kira: We don't really have a choice.
Hawk: We do only have one body to take. Central Park?
Kira: Open area. Lots of high-rise buildings around.
Hawk: You do the exchange, I'll watch from a roof.
*Tara A's face flashes with a hint of anger before Sam rests a hand on her shoulder.*
Sam: She's my daughter too, Tara. Try to talk to her. You may find you have more in common than you think.
Tara A: Whatever.
*Sam walks over to the comm unit. Tara's face comes on the screen.*
Sam: Tara. Thank you for--
Tara: I've got training in 10 minutes. You've got that long.
*For 10 minutes, they talk about Tara's life, but Tara continuously shuts down before they get any where far. That's fine; Sam wasn't expecting to rebuild that trust in just 10 minutes. After Tara signs off, Sam turns to see Tara A looking disapprovingly at the terminal, even angry.*
Tara A: She is so ungrateful.
Sam: A lot happened, Tara. It's difficult for her.
Jacob is soon going through some tech he's found in the building and begins tinkering with it. He finds it relaxing alone for a moment letting his mind wander.

Jacob: odd. Roland engage cloak let's see what they wanted and what they are actually up to we could use some good intel.
*OOC: That's right he wasn't on that station so he has no idea what they actually do. If you want I could PM you the details or show it here or at least bits of it. Should be an interesting thing to develop for others.. As I am sure they have little idea. *
*OOC: PM sent since I know Ryan won't be able to stomach it. So lets only have Jacob be gone for a little bit and have him come back different in some way...*

*OOC: I am going to enjoy this little bit... and answer some questions to Northman's goals..*
*Hawk closes the channel.*
Hawk: You gonna be able to take her on your own?
Kira: Enhanced strength, not weight.
*Kira picks up Weiss' body with ease.*
Ronin, if 19 shows up... don't step in. I need to do this.
Hawk: I know.
*Kira walks out and starts heading for the meeting site.
5 hours later, after multiple stops to use rubble for training bags, Kira arrives at the park. She put Weiss' body down as she sees the bodies of the S31/D.I.S. agents that the platoon and Sabre Squad killed, as well as Weiss' victims (minus the RAO trooper). She looks around, taking in the surroundings. She watches the roofs of the high-rises, knowing that she won't spot Ronin if he's there or not - he's too smart for that.
She sits on a piece of rubble as she waits for the D.I.S. representative to arrive.*

Muffled voice: Lets make this nice and smooth.. No trips..
OOC: Just checking, is Hawk with them or did they leave him at the park?
*Kira wakes up in a cell, quickly taking in her surroundings. She then remembers what happened, and her rage returns as she slams her shoulder into the forcefield, getting knocked back. Unphased and uninjured, she tries again, with the same result.*
*OOC: No they left them there... Both of them.. I actually had something else in mind. Something more devious.*

Muffled voice: Lets make this nice and smooth.. No trips..
*Kira stands up, taking a slightly aggressive stance, making a point of showing that she means business.*
Kira: I didn't come with a helmet... why don't you take yours off too, and maybe show me the medical supplies...?
*Kira sees the number '19' printed on her armour, and the aggression she shows increases as she takes a step forward.*

My men are coming with the supplies as getting through the ruins is tough from time to time.
Helen: See. No reason to be jittery. Now go on folks collect our dead...
*As they move forward, and take the corpses they part ways and disappear around the corner. State of the art armor...*
Helen: So sister don't trust me?
Kira *resentful*: 'Problem'?! 'Trust you'?! You tried to cripple me!
*Kira puts her hand on the hilt of her knife, looking at Helen with near-rage.*

Thats enough ladies. There is no need for it right now at this moment.
