Speedy Louis looked around and took in the sights of what was going on. "Come on guys, lets find ourselves some ladies to make happier then they could otherwise be. I know a place called the 'Den of Liars' with the best poker tables this side of the Mississippi River. After this bit of R&R we can easily catch us some bandits." Louis took a quick dash into the town waited for his new friends to join him.

Looking around at everyone else, Skai shrugged and followed after Louis. "Sounds good to me."

Well, this was as good an idea as any. Matthias safed his rifle in its case once more, and walked after Louis and Skai. Good thing too, he thought privately - today had nearly tapped him out in terms of energy; he'd need to take it easier in future. If the undead chose now to strike, he would have been at a low ebb - and that was unacceptable.

*Looks at everyone walking into town* Meh! Why not. *Begins walking into town.*

As you enter the city of Newtown the air is cool and calm and the world seems right. Speedy Louis heads off to the left as the city gates close behind you. Suddenly there is a whining noise of lots of jet engines in the distance getting closer. Suddenly several squads of SAMAS fly over the city. The powered armor suits split into squadrons and begin patrolling the skies. Then IT comes into view. A trio of immense behemoths, Deaths Head Transports. The transports head towards the center of town then begin landing.

You get a vague look as it seems the three transports are the first wave of CS troops. Over the next few minuites the Coalition troopers begin to spread over the city and more transports land. All in all you would guess somewhere between three and five battallions of CS troops with full PA and Robot Vechile support are on here in this city as guards for the release of this Juicer Cure.

Then it dawns on you all. A squadron of Dog Boys with their Psi-Stalker are bearing down on your location with great zeal and looking intently at the four of you as if they mean to have a deep and meaningful CS style conversation with you.

Rolling his eyes, Matthias removed his helmet. "Oh, lovely. This looks completely innocent and friendly."

*Takes a arted leg stance almost as if seeming to expect a firefight. Not drawing his weapon yet, he looks at the coalition troops with utter disgust in his eyes* Hey Matthias... you take the headcase, i'll take the poodles? *Lets out a deep laugh*

Giving a sidelong glance to the black armored figure with them, Matthias shook his head. "While they have so many friends in high places?"

The lead Dog Boy stopped and began to sniff the air. Then hastening his pace up to Matthias and Skai. "You!" Pointing at Skai "What is your known level of Psionic Power?" With corporal's bars on his shoulders and chestplate the other Dog Boys seem quite submissive to him. The Psi-Stalker, signified by his spiked helm, sits back from the engagement with his plasma cannon saftey unhinged visably.

"Be careful Bowser!" The Psi-Stalker adds. "I sensed that too. There maybe an invisible mage in the area!"

"Minor, what's it to you?" snarled Skai, hands on his hips, within easy reach of the HE grenades on his belt. (Activating Alter Aura to disguise his psi level)

The large humanoid Malamute sniffed the air again as the alter aura power went into effect. "Since this town is under the protection of the Coalition States there is no need for me to explain myself to you." Walking away the dog boys seemed annoyed, sheathing their vibro-blades and clicking the safties back on their laser rifles. Dashing down the street soon after they reach their Psi-Stalker the dog boys are quickly out of sight.

Releasing a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, Skai moved his hand away from the grenade. "That went rather well I think."

I agree...they are no better than the machines Archie kept sending at us. Intelligent, but easilly fooled if one is prepared. So this bloody town is now under opressi...oops, I meant protection? Man...I need that drink now. Think I may need to go somewhere else for a job.

Shaking his head, Matthias watched the Coalition patrol fade into the distance. "Jumpy bunch, aren't they? Well, since it appears we've attracted Coalition attention, there must be those among our little group they don't like. Interesting. Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I could use something alcoholic."

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:17 am

"Agreed. I also suggest we lay low for the time being and come up with a plan on how to deal with this....situation. Now whereabouts would that drink be?" Skai said, looking around at his surroundings.

DracoGuard2002 · Post by **DracoGuard2002** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 2:26 pm

Yeah. Maybe a stiff drink will help. *Starts looking around for a place to get some alchohol.*

Speedy Louis quickly waved his new friends over as he jauntily walked towards what appeared to be a drinking establishment a couple of blocks down. The SAMAS patrols made two more swings over the city before settling down to guard posts around the city center and walls. The establishment, entitled "Death's Favorites", looked to be a Juicer bar. As Louis waved for his compatriots to come over the bouncer, moved to intercept Matthias and Skai. "No Squishies allowed."

"Theyre with me my brother." Speedy Louis interjected and the bouncer waved his hand towards the door. Inside was a den of iniquity. The Juicers of all kinds in the bar were in various states of intoxication. The dancing girls on the stage glowed with beauty as they performed fully nude for the rowdy crowd. Lewd acts between them involving several phallically shaped items were common. Of the eight girls on stage there seemed to only be one avoiding the somewhat sensious orgy going on between the others. She was more off to the side, gyrating to the beat while spreading her pussy lips for an astounded Juicer to look on.

"Damn" he muttered. "Still a virgin an' a workin' here. Why is that?"

Though Matthias glared right back at the bouncer for the "squishies" comment, he did nod in respect to him as he walked in after Speedy Louis. He looked impressed as he took in the scenery, his senses telling him volumes about the place.

"Charming. Well, this'll work," Matthias said as he sat at the bar, ordering himself his favorite drink: the Engine Melter.

He drank it now more for nostalgia, as it didn't have anywhere near the effect it once had on him. It appeared his career choice had its negatives as well.

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:14 pm

Just shaking his head at the comment the bouncer made, Skai walked into the bar. Lust, hate, pain; all of these washed over him as the aura of the place broke over him like a tidal wave. Reigning in his senses, Skai steadied himself against a table before making his way over to the bar, parking himself next to Matthias. "Something cold, wet, and fizzy, other than that surprise me." he said to the 'tender. "So, Matthias was it? What brought you out this way?" Skai asked, eyes roving around the bar, noting where the exits were and taking stock of all it's participants.

rhoenix · Post by **rhoenix** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:28 pm

Though silent for a moment, Matthias eventually replied. "Aye, it's Matthias."

He was silent for a moment more, sipping his drink, tasting each subtle nuance of a drink he once simply pounded down with the others in his class. He was deciding, as part of his experience and training made him not trust easily. Of course, most from Atlantis would say this, but Matthias' profession was a special case.

"I came out this way because I heard there were undead problems near here," he said in a low voice, before finishing his drink.

If Skai had heard of the True Atlantean Undead Slayers, and their relentless destruction of vampires and other supernatural horrors, he'd understand what it meant. If he didn't, which was more likely, then Matthias could rightfully and simply claim to be a mercenary with a favorite target.

"Barkeep? Another?" he asked, paying up the credits as the drink was presented. Because of his job, he tended to travel often, making opening bar tabs a bad idea, in general.

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:50 pm

Staying silent himself for a moment, he accepted his drink from the barkeep which turned out to be a Rusty Nail judging by the color and odor of it. "Thanks, how much do I owe you?" Paying out the amount requested, Skai took a long pull from his drink and let out a sigh of relief. Twirling his drink around in his hands he finally replied in just as low a tone "Hmm, interesting. That would explain the bug then." Having noticed the flaming sword tattoo on Matthias' left wrist and jiving this new information with it, he had a pretty good idea what Matthias was alluding to.

As Speedy Louis ordered for himself a pitcher of Draught beer and raised it to guzzle it down a Mega-Juicer walked up. "Why did ya let a couple of Squish in my establishment. I bet that one cant even take a punch of mine!" With a point to Matthias he reached out and grabbed Speedy Louis by the shoulder. Moving by him he stared into Matthias' eyes. "Take off your armor. I am going to give you a love tap. If it hurts I win and you two leave. If you dont hurt then I loose and you have free room board and women here on me..."

Though Matthias was about to reply to Skai's comment, the big, twitchy Juicer interrupted. Staring into his eyes without blinking, Matthias slowly got to his feet. "Fine by me, cupcake. You do what you gotta do, and then I'll do what I gotta do."

With that, he began removing his armor, a surprisingly swift process, revealing his underclothes, which consisted of a tank-top, and thin pants. It also revealed the many tattoos on his body, all of which were masterwork. "Let's see this love tap of yours," Matthias said in a low voice.

Standing off to the side, Skai leaned against the counter and watched the spectacle with amusement. "This should prove interesting." he murmured to himself, hand resting on his SMG just in case things should go badly.
