Hive Warfare! Part Duex

"Gave em a chance to walk away. Shot at us instead."

Kerak: "You think they coward. No coward in gang. Coward weak. Gang no weak."

"There's a difference between bein a coward and just bein plain stupid."

Kerak: "Like man who threaten kindred and think he live? Like man who think he can steal from gang?"

*chuckles* "Bigger gangs than your lot have come after us before. They're eatin' dirt now."

Max: “Then we’d best a move on before Kerak does our job for us”

Kerak: "Only few of you. Must sleep. I know scent now. Can find, will find. Burn down building you sleep in yes? Cook meat inside tin cans."

Akira: "Aye. I want to shoot something." *she walks faster.*

he chuckles
"You haven't got a clue do you?"

Kerak: "I seen like you before. Think gang problem. Stupid. Not see problem." *he points up* "Up. Up is problem. Up that hunt kindred."

"Oh I know. I'm workin towards that. You lot can keep doin your thing just fine. But keep treadin on normal people and I'll keep makin life hard for you."

*Max keeps pace with relative ease and starts fiddling with his sidearms, making sure both pistols are in position and ready to be drawn at a moments notice*

"Need money, guns food more people, need to kill the up people. We same goal yes? Stop up people killing here people."

*akira flicks out the cylinder of her pistol, checking its loaded.* "All six chambers."

Max: “12 apiece with 24 on the belt”

"Not while you keep hurtin normal people."

Kerak: ".... you come talk to boss yes? She have better words than kerak."

Akira: "plenty enough to kill some dumb cunts."

"...I'll think about it. Guessin she's comin this way."

Kerak: "she come to where bodies. But not have kroot nose. Not find this place."

"Alright. You can contact 'er?"

Max: “Enough To Kill anything”
*It isn’t long before they find Rhossin standing over the bodies*

Akira: "Cept maybe a space marine. Or a tank."

Kerak: "Yes, one run to her. Two stay here. Make sure you no run yes?"

"Works"

*kerak caws, and the green male runs off. The smallest, they notice.*

"Clever."

Max: “Bullet to the head, and for a tank? Get close and see if they open a hatch”

Rhossin: “There you are!” *She walks toward the pair, her footsteps echoing across the alley* “4 dead. 2 veterans and 2 Juves”

Kerak: *cocks head*

Akira: "I think Itd bounce off their head... I have eyes rhossin."

Max: “Get his helmet off first. Thank you Rhossin, make sure the bodies are dealt with. We don’t need disease spreading”

*Rhossin nods and points in the direction Kerak went*
“Kroot went that way”

*akira draws her revolver, and walks off after the kroot. With a final scowl at rhossin.*

*Rhossin ignores Akira entirely, and looks straight through her before doing as ordered*

Max: *Once they’re out of earshot* “Remind me again...why do you hate her?”

OOC: Make it up if you want!

Akira: "I don't."

Max: “Hmm...”
*The round a corner and the Kroot comes into view*

Green kroot, who's name I have decided is Ruk: "Come, find who kill men. Tin men want talk."

Akira: "... just lead us."

Ruk: *clicks, and leads them*

Max: *Follows Ruk*

*they arrive back shortly*

*upon their arrival, the lead guy gives a mock salute*
"G'day"

Max: “And you are?”

"Name's Ned. Guessin you're the bosses."

Akira: "I am. Guessing you're who's responsible for four of my people being dead."

"That'd be about right."

“Why did you kill them?”

"Stole from innocent people. We were just returning those funds. Gave em a chance to walk away, they shot at us instead. So we defended ourselves."

"So you robbed my men at gunpoint for tax money. And gave it back to the people who agreed to pay it in the first place."

"Agreed is one word for it. Threatened at gunpoint, beaten out of in more than one case. Money they needed to not starve."

Max: *Exhales slowly* “Money they agreed to pay. Money that goes toward keeping them safe.”

"That's the thing you don't seem to get. They aint safe so long as you fuckers are screwin em out of their food money. Ever bother taking the time to see what payin you lot costs em?"

Akira: "gotta break eggs to make an omelette. Sucks, but it's gotta be done."

"Not the way I see it."

Max: “Would you rather I left them for the other gangs? I’m sure being forced into slavery is a much better option than paying us a little tax”

Akira: "We're no fairytale, but we're sure as hell better than some."

"*chuckles* oh I know that. Others are learnin. Bit by bit. We can be very persuasive."

“Pointing a rifle at someone tends to have that effect”

Akira: "Thing is though. I ain't having you slow us down. Too close now."
