"How does a million credits and a favor from me in return sound?" She asks somewhat seductively.

[spoiler]I got none. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Got it. Just...one more event before you kill some jellyfish.[/spoiler] [i](The night before the attack, 11:00 pm)[/i] Liara and Shila were both overlooking the city, as their armies prepared to face the terrorist threat head-on. Anti-air cannons had been set up on the higher floors of the spaceport, as well as snipers and additional troops. The two women looked toward JT. "We're ready for tomorrow morning, when it happens." The Shadow Broker had said, inspecting her Acolyte pistol. "Master, she told us that the Alliance will be arriving within three hours after the initial invasion with a full fleet; are we ready for this?" Shila had said, cleaning off her sword.

[i]JT was sitting on an old rocking chair of wood on the roof of the building they were staying in as he watched the endless activity of the city buzzing below. He held a cigar between his left thumb and index finger, having just blown out a ring of smoke. "We're ready."[/i]
-
"Right...check your weapons. If we survive this...I might just visit this 'Dojo' that is talked about so much around the Galaxy." Liara had said. "Also...got some help before the hanar managed to lose comms with us." Liara had said, as about 25 Krogan or so appeared through a doorway. They had recognized JT, and ran up to him. "JT!" They yelled out. [spoiler]BTW, these were the same Krogan you rescued from Tuchanka.[/spoiler]
-
[i]"Welcome to the party boys - You men ready?"[/i]
-
"YEAH!!!" They all screamed. One could be heard saying, "When I get back home, I'm gonna find myself down ryncol and drink every last drip of it!" "Well...the Krogan seem to be excited." The Asari had said, somehow sliding next to JT while he was distracted with the Krogan.
-
[i]"Yeah, they're a rambunctious crowd. Slap these guys onto the front lines and god damn will I feel bad for the sorry shits they're against." [/i]
-
"Considering you went against a bunch of them, I'm not surprised. Them and Geth Primes are similar to the tanks within our societies. You could consider that Alliance Sentinels, or Cerberus Atlas mechs are like that, but them? They're made naturally that way." Liara had said, passing him some sort of new gun.
-
[i]"Yeah, well tanks and tanks work well. Like Tigers and Shermans," JT said as he analyzed the weapon with curiosity. [/i]
-
It was somewhat very similar to a reflective silver .357 magnum, except six lone thermal clips laid within what would be six .357 rounded bullets within its chamber. "The tech specialists and I helped create it. Consider it a thank you, if you live through this." Liara had said, her smile growing. [spoiler]NEW WEAPON RECOVERED (You can call it whatever you want, but this is the militaristic name.) M-43 Python- [i]"Who says old can't be new?"[/i] An updated version of a .357 magnum from 20th century Earth. Contains 36 thermal bullets (6 per thermal clip), and is considered the descendant of the M-6 Carnifex Heavy Pistol. However, firing the gun can cause temporary severe recoil, with firing it continuously slowly degrading the accuracy by some degree. However, it provides much more damage than its predecessor, and can rip straight through armor without the need of armor-piercing ammo. [/spoiler]

[i]"Oh god this is Clint Eastwood's wet dream... Thank you Liara, serioudly this is the best thing I've gotten in a long ass time," JT said as he holstered the gun in his duster, stowing it in an empty inner holster on the jacket. He always had a few pockets and holsters in case he found something cool. "You should come hit me up sometime after this all, might be able to give you a gift or two in return. And for once I'm not cracking a sex joke, this is worth a bit to me." [/i]

"I am. In two weeks or so, multiple representatives from the quarians, turians, Krogan, and Alliance are gonna on Tatakai. They may seek to set up outposts across the area. I may be able to hitch on one of their rides and come see you then." Liara had said, standing up, and seeing the skies. "But for right now...we need to worry about the hanar. We'll discuss the rest of that conversation later." She had replied. [spoiler]Timeskip?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yeah[/spoiler]
-
[i](10 hours later...)[/i] Everything was silent. Almost no one was in the main hangar of the spaceport, say for a few cloaked Asari. They had three hours to hold the entirety of the terrorists until they got Alliance reinforcements. First, the sound of a bang. Then another. And another. Gunships containing hanar started jumping into the area, as the AA guns managed to take a few of them out. The rest of them were landing nearby, armed with three, four, five, even six pistols. While three of the said hanar slowly made their way down a long hallway, Liara, JT, Shila, and 3 other Asari commandos were in cover at the end of it. "Ready?" She whispers to JT.
-
[i]JT had stepped into his suit of armour, not the bullshit one he used to mosey around the Dojo but his actual canonically set armour, which was plates of steel and ceramic over an exoskeleton suit. He had the revolver in his duster and a large number of his regular weapons with him, only this time he carried a G11 Chainsaw LMG with his hand reaching into the back of the gun like an extension of the arm, whilst his left hand was holding a grenade launcher. Needless to say, he was prepared. "Ready when you are."[/i]
-
"Ready master." Shila whispered behind him, armed with a borrowed M-3 Predator Pistol. The five stepped out of cover, the hanar barely getting a reaction time...Liara, and Shila started shooting with their guns, while the two commandos used pull to lift two of the jellyfish in the air, while the one was being shot at.
-
[i]JT would use his state of bulkiness and firepower to slowly progress into the crowd, spraying down any Hanar he saw in a hailstorm of bullets. Each target was lit up in red in his eyes as his arms automatically pointed to them, even without looking, in a case of basically aimbot. [/i]
-
"Holy crap, ma'am...why don't we have one of those?!" One of the Asari replied surprisingly. "Because they aren't even out on any markets as of now. Council rules and all." Liara had said, nodding to JT to push up.
-
[i]JT would stop firing and press ever onwards in silence, mostly because he was maintaining a 'Silent badass' vibe, which due to being completely out of character for him normally he was unsuccessful in. [/i]
-
...That proceeded to almost be ruined when the door in front of him opened, revealing three hanar...all armed with shotguns. Two on each of them. They proceeded to fire as many rounds as possible, a convienient cover right next to him.
-
[i]JT immediately jumped behind cover and started taking potshots with the grenade launcher. [/i]
-
Considering it was close range, he would've gotten hurt, somewhat. Two of the hanar had died, while the third ended up being slashed into four via omni-blade and samurai sword. " Are you alright, my master?" Shila asked, Liara seeing if the hanar breached somewhere else.
-
[i]JT was a type of madness that was calculated; His armour had a layer of shock gel underneath to absorb the force of the explosion and his plates tanked the shrapnel that hit it. "I'm good." [/i]
-
"Good; most of the other teams seem to be fine, for the time being. They said the hanar are landing near the main part of the market district." Liara had simply commanded, pointing to a door on the other side of the room.
-
[i]"So Liara... How much destruction can we cause?"[/i]
