Space E-war

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica, seeing the explosion, says, "Thanks."

[UndeadRaptor]

"No problem," the mercenary replied as he got up, before offering to help Jessica up aswell. The rest of the group soon got up too, before beginning down the tunnel to get to the next room they were in earlier...

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica gets up too. See looks around before reloading her rifle. "Well, I tihnk this would be a good tiem to get a move on," she says.

[UndeadRaptor]

The merchants soon reach the end of the tunnel, before they begin moving debris away from the door to the next room. Once they finished, they went back into the large area, before looking around in case any enemy units were still in there...

[dinoman666]

The room they were in previously was now empty, but it wasn't likely to stay that way for much longer. Morleon spotted the merchants enter the room via security camera again, and snarled. "If you want to do something right..." Pulling out his Locust SMG, he started towards the room, with a number of his remaining Eclipse Troopers with him...

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica kept her guard up, while searching through some of the crates. She holstered her rifle and drew one pistol in case of attack........

[UndeadRaptor]

Dylan grasped his rifle tightly as he began moving to cover in case of an ambush. Most of the other mercenaries did the same, but a few of the merchants searched the crates for anything useful...

[dinoman666]

"And so, we finally meet," Morleon said, stepping out of the door in the corner of the room. His Troopers poured out of the room and set themselves up all around the Captain, in cover with their weapons pointed at the merchants. Morleon's face was grim and serious. He raised his Locust in his right hand and the golden necklace in the left. "All this trouble, and for what? This little piece of jewelry? You can't possibly be Cerberus, because it's obvious you're too idiotic! I feel no remorse for killing off so many of your men!" He tapped a couple switches on his omni-tool with a long, slender finger. "Let's see... at least 40 men dead, if my calculations are correct. You sent a godd*mn army in here, and you've lost almost all of them! And you think we're monsters!"

[UndeadRaptor]

"Yeah, well seems YOU were to greedy to give both that and the ship back!" Dylan shot back at the Eclipse Merc, while his own men took cover and aimed their weapons aswell. "Also, if we're so idiotic, how could we have managed to bring down about over half this facility back there?" the merchant soon asked, his weapon getting aimed towards Morleon's head...

[dinoman666]

Morleon shook his head. "You could've just taken back your little ship if it was so important to you, and none of this would have happened." He looked around at the merchants. Their numbers were about even with his own now. Good. "As for my men, rest assured they weren't the only ones. Eclipse is far more powerful than you can imagine. When the higher-ups find out about this, they won't be happy with you. And, of course, I have other friends in... high places..."

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica aims her weapon at her foe. "Yeah, well, you won't lvie long enough to tell them."

[UndeadRaptor]

"Who said we wanted JUST the ship?" Dylan asked, a slight smirk on his face as he said his words. "Just hand over that necklace you have there, bud, and this'll all be over. Got it?" the lead merchant soon said while the rest of his men slowly lined up shots on the enemy merchants...

[dinoman666]

Morleon looked at Jessica and grinned. "I'm afraid you're too late for that." He began pacing casually back and forth, ignoring Dylan's demand. "Tell me, have you ever heard of the Collectors?"

[Godzilla Forever]

"No. But the name sounds eerily familiar....."

[UndeadRaptor]

"Maybe," Dylan said, before adding on, "give us the necklace, and you might find out, you don't, and we'll kill you. Simple as that." The merchants began cocking their weapons while keeping their aim on the Eclipse Mercs the same as they prepared to shoot...

[dinoman666]

Morleon rolled his eyes. "Do you really think that'll work, human? You're a worse bargainer than I thought. I'm a Salarian, fool. My species isn't well-known for being stupid." He turned back to Jessica. "You must be new to the Terminus Systems then. They're a race of slavers, essentially, with incredibly advanced technology, far beyond yours or mine. Outside the Terminus Systems, such as in Citadel or UNSC space, they are considered a myth." Morleon smiled grimly. "Trust me when I say that that is not the case at all..."

[Godzilla Forever]

"If they are real, why have I never seen a ship of theirs when I patrol this area?"

[UndeadRaptor]

Dylan's finger began squeezing the trigger tightly, but not enough to fire off a shot, as he said sternly, "just hand over the piece of jewelry and we'll leave you alone. We're incorperated with a large faction that can bring you and your organization down within a few days, buddy..."

[dinoman666]

Morleon glared at Dylan. "You underestimate Eclipse. You can't just waltz into the Terminus Systems and try to stop us. It doesn't work like that. Now, enough interruptions. Can't you see the nice lady is curious?" he said, waving his hand at Jessica. Turning to her, he continued. "Their homeworld is not in the actual Terminus Systems. It is somewhere through the Omega 4 Relay. Unfortunately, any ship that goes through does not return. I'm guessing the Collectors don't like visitors..."

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica smirks, but doesn't lower her weapon. "I wouldn't want visitors either if I was stuck partnered with a paranoid thief with a big gun........"
