A Rebirth

"No...I couldn't...."

Shi: propaganda. that really varies from world to world.

Aequitas: Are you sure?
______________________________________________

Asim: Oh.

"i'm sure. thankyou, but its your money, you earned it"

Shi: that really surprises you?

Aequitas: Well, okay...But if you need help, I'll do what I can.
_____________________________________________

Asim: The Consortium hasn't really had a lot of contact with aliens...aside from the orks.

"I...really appreciate it"

Shi: orks. those fuckers are everywhere
Nicole: everywhere?
Shi: apparently imperials did a study one time where they found out that every part in the galaxy has, will or did have orks in it at somepoint

*Aequitas just smiles.*
_____________________________________________-

Asim *sarcastically*: Lovely...

she smiles back

shi chuckles

*Aequitas finishes eating and goes to turn in his tray.*
____________________________________________

Asim: I wonder if the Consortium is fighting the Imperials right now?

she does likewise

Nicole: who knows...*sighs* Anna's gonna be on the front lines if Plumo hasnt got her yet

Aequitas: So...where are ya headed next?
________________________________________________

Asim: As odd as it may sound...maybe she'll be safer there. Plumo may not go after her if she's close to the front. To many potential witnesses.

"no idea"

Nicole: I hope so...

OOC ok now that I've taken the time I can answer earlier about what I said
1) the point I said that is the Necrons providing a lead to our converted friends here if enough information is disclosed to them
2) no the Necrons won't actively look for those two unless prompted by the right 'people'
3) it's just a nice little tidbit in the story

Aequitas: Personally, I'm going to head back to the barracks and get some sleep.
___________________________________________________

Asim: Yeah....


OOC:

@Fae: Interesting....very interesting...You may want to talk to Gor first though. I know he has plans for Nicole.

OOC oh I know

"alright, I wont keep you. It was great to meet you"

they get to a food place
"question, do you two eat?"

OOC:

@Fae: Then I see no problem with your idea.

IC:

Aequitas: You to.
___________________________________________

Asim: No. Plus, it's not like we have mouths.

"by the way, what squad are you with?"

Shi: fair point

Aequitas: Epsilon. You?
_____________________________________________

Asim: Yeah. Get what you need. We'll keep an eye out.

"Theta."

"will do"
*he goes over and talks to the stall owner. the two have attracted the attention of a vespid who's watching curiously*

Aequitas: Oh. Well...take care of yourself.
________________________________________________________

*Asim watches right back.*

"you too"

it cocks its head

*He smiles at her and parts ways with her.*
______________________________________________

*Asim looks away, but keeps it in his field of view.*

she goes back to the CO

Nicole: *quietly* what is that?

*He's still in his office.*
____________________________________________

*Asim shrugs.*

*door knock*

she looks at it

CO: Enter.
________________________________________

Asim *whispering*: Careful, I'm not sure it if it's okay with us staring or not.

she enters

she looks away from it

CO: Private Kotrev, is there something you need?
__________________________________

*Asim looks around the area.*

"Sir...I'd like to request a squad transfer"

*not much special*

CO: A squad transfer? What brought this on, private?
_________________________________________________

*Okay....He stays vigilant.*

"personal reasons sir"

Shi returns
"lets get moving"

CO: "Personal reasons"? Private, unless there's something going on in your current squad that I should be aware of....
______________________________________________

*Asim just nods and follows him.*

"Permission to speak frankly sir"

on the way back they hear footsteps on nearby rooftops

CO: Granted.
___________________________________________

*Asim begins looking around.*

"no one in my current squad likes me sir. and we both know that does not lead to good team work"

Nicole also does worriedly
Shi:...shit

CO: And why do you think no one in your current squad likes you, private?
________________________________________________________

Asim: Yeah....*He tightens his grip on his pulse carbine.*

"I'm...not normal sir."

nicole pulls out her pulse pistol

CO: Excuse me?
________________________________________

*Asim starts looking around for any kroot.*

"My autism sir, they cant seem to be able to get along with me due to my unusual behavior"

five kroot drop down, three in front, 2 behind

CO: Are they discriminating against you because of your...condition?
___________________________________________________

Asim: Shit....Back to back?

"I wouldnt say discriminating...just that me being different...creates a bad atmosphere to say the least"

Kroot: well well well, thought you could get away from us eh?

CO: And what makes you think that changing squads would rectify this? Why have you not sought treatment for your...condition?
_______________________________________________________

Asim: Well, given the fact you hadn't shown up in forever, yes.

"I cant afford it sir. and...because I've made a friend in another squad sir."

"Well looks like we gotta make you pay" *he goes to raise his gun at asim but innstantly get shot in the face by Nicole*

CO: Firstly, if you had informed the proper medical professionals about it, the military would have covered it since you're on our payroll. Secondly...I'll consider approving your transfer then if you've found people in another squad that can accept your condition, but I want you to get treatment for it. Is that understood? I know some of the effects of your condition, and I don't want people under my command getting hurt because of it. Do I make myself clear, private?
__________________________________________________

*Asim looks at her, surprised.*

"yes sir *she salutes*"

before the other ones can react she keeps firing on the ones infront of them

*He returns the salute.*

CO: Before I dismiss you, what squad are you intending to transfer to?
___________________________________________________

*Asim spins around and points his carbine at the ones behind them.*

"Epsilon sir"

they're raising their rifles, but not fast enough

CO: Very well, private. Dismissed.
_____________________________________________

Asim: Didn't want to have to do this....*He opens fire.*

"thankyou sir"

they go down before they can aim

CO: Dismissed. And remember private, I expect you to get treatment for your condition.
_____________________________________________

*Asim lowers his carbine, shaken.*

"Do you know who I should talk to sir?"

to his surprise, Nicole just looks angry
