Eira could feel her own body relaxing at the sound of the music. She felt more energized and less tense. She caught herself humming along to the song as she worked on her patient, noticing the injured person was also starting to relax more. It was easier to keep his blood inside of his body, and he seemed to be healing at least some of his more superficial wounds and internal damage.
"Thanks, Tobias. That should keep him stable for now. Where'd you learn to play like that?"
"We're mercenaries. Not heroes. Not today." Eira said, finishing up administering medicine to Silas's fallen friend. "We were never here. That means you were never here. You'll need to come with us back to our LZ."furrygamer793 wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2023 10:34 pm “Where did you procure such as this?” Asks Silas as he gripped the drink handed previously. “You foreigners, you’re freedom fighters, heroes, like… him-” He pauses, thinking of a better way to say it, “No not that fellow, just ignore that last- take me with you.” He finally manages

Eira nods, then turns to Jenny. "Mind finding some kind of sheet or blanket we can get this guy on so we can lift him onto the gurney? Think I saw some tarps covering crates outside."Legotron123 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 7:56 pm "I can always carry them." Kolt volunteered, making a mini forcefield gurney to show what he had in mind. "Might be less strenuous on them than having them walk."

The vulture yelped and moved the toy gun to intercept the knife, causing it to embed into the plastic water tank. The kidnapper stumbled back, then yelped again and dropped the gun when Corp swiped at his belt level. He quickly drew a knife of his own...Welsh Halfwit wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 3:52 am Corp spun down low, turning back towards the pair and releasing one of his knives from the spring loaded rig. He hoped it would look like chance that it impacted the toy weapon and dug in hard enough to, potentially, knock it from the Vulture's hands before he stepped up with the other knife ready to strike, slashing with an attempt to 'cut the buttons off' the enemy's trousers and, maybe, draw a little blood.
The vulture ducked just in time to avoid being clobbered in the face by the weapon. He raised his knife in preparation for a close quarters fight, but didn't look too enthusiastic about his odds.Welsh Halfwit wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 3:52 am Sarah rolled her eyes and, heading for the Coyote, extended her fighting pole to bring it across the side of his head.
The vulture's enthusiasm wasn't helped when his partner, who had been in the process of raising his weapon, was hit by a stun round and dropped to his knee. The second shot sent him sprawling out onto the ground in a daze.Hlaoroo wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2023 7:51 pm As the fighting begins, Cailean draws and readies his energy pistol. With Corp engaging the vulture, Cailean decides that he'd rather face Insignia again than the mouse's wrath if he shoots him by mistake. Instead he takes aim at the hyena-like kidnapper and snaps off a bolt of energy big enough to stun most creatures. He hopes that his afternoon of training with Sarah will be enough that the shot will land somewhere close to the kidnapper, and soon fires off a second shot, just to be safe.
Conall remains away from the fight for now. His weight is on the balls of his feet and he stays in a ready stance, his sgian-dubh in his right paw and his dominant left paw ready to strike with a lightning-fast jujitsu move if necessary. He keeps his head moving, alert in case anything tries to sneak up on him that he won't hear coming.
The vulture, now alone with only a knife against six armored opponents, decides the odds of him winning this fight are very slim. He turns tail and leaps into the air, taking off. Evidently, his wing-like arms were not just for show. As he flies, he shouts into some kind of communication headset.
"We've been engaged by unknown mercenaries! Tor is down and our vehicle is destroyed! Send backup to 443rd and Orichalcum!" the vulture called out.
"Well. That ain't good. I think we just generated some heat..." Recon grabbed one of her shock batons, pulled it back, and hurled it at the vulture. It struck him right in his right wing, sending a shock through his muscles.
"AAGH!" the avian shouted, then fell from the sky and land with a thud in a pile of trash.
"We're probably going to get some company soon. What's the call, Corp?" Recon asked.

"Ain't got time for that. We can drag their ugly mugs back to the LZ. Gadgeteer'll keep 'em in line until we get back, but we've got to follow that truck as soon as we can. Them eggs are fertile, taken by force. We're treatin' it like an abduction, so it takes priority." Gear explained, slinging his gun back over his shoulder and offering a hand to Hannabelle. "Ready for a jump?"Welsh Halfwit wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 3:52 am "I am NOT shooting people in the feet or hands," Hannabelle complained, tongue in cheek. "It's so cliché." She glanced at the captives. "We gonna do 'good merc, bad merc'?"

Each of the mercs slumps over at Liz's touch as her power stuns them and stores their form for later. The last merc starts drooling on the stoop just as the door bursts open, breaking through the wooden planks nailing it shut. The moment it is open, the frilled reptilian woman bursts out from the door, recklessly running past Liz and Lewis towards the street. Desperately, she turns her head up and down the street, trying to somehow figure out where the truck went.Legotron123 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 7:56 pm Liz shifted back to her original form, taking one of her gloves off and tapping some of the mercs to acquire their forms for later, starting with the tentacle faced one she slammed into the ground, before moving onto the blue skinned humanoid with the broken arm. While she did that, her son walked over to the house's door and used a mid-power line on it, trying to force it open without ripping it off the hinges.
Without saying anything, she looks down at the skid marks on the road where the vehicle took off from, then bolted down the street. Once she reached the end, however, she collapsed onto her knees. She couldn't tell which way it had gone from there, and she buried her face in her hands. The woman started to sob in despair.

There was silence on the radio for a while. It was to the point where Hivemind thought nobody was responding. He thought something might have happened to the person who made the call.Welsh Halfwit wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 3:52 am Cherry took a seat and the headphones and listened to the transmission and the frequency and the general location it had come from on the planet and sighed. This was going to be trouble. She was going to have to send without the comm system so the planet sensors didn't pick it up. She closed her eyes and thought hard. "This is Cherry Seena. Your call was heard. If you asked for help don't speak. Just think 'Yes' as hard as you can. I'll hear you."
Then, the radio broke silence, and a voice spoke in a low hiss. "Yes."
