*Before Paduk could do his third knock on the door, Jean opens it and raises an eyebrow giving him a bit of a disapproval look then it quickly changed into a questionable one upon noticing the crate in front of her* Goodness Paduk, first of all #1: I’m not going to kill you! #2 How the heck did you manage to pass this through security? You do know…[Read more]

*While Paduk was running his mouth, Jean had left the door open and went to the kitchen to serve herself some orange juice. Once she was done, she put her glass on the dishwasher then heads back to the door. Jean did not pay too much attention to what he was saying but her curiosity certainly hit the peak the moment she saw the yellow helmet…[Read more]

* The helmet was ludicrously heavy for being something a person had to wear. The right side of it had a massive impact fracture running up through the eye. A gold double headed eagle sat proudly on top the crest. * Oh so now you want to talk, typical. If you had answered door last time you would already know and I wouldn’t have to be here. So w…[Read more]

If we thought you wouldn’t recognise it, we wouldn’t have brought it. Again. * Paduk leant against the wall, still dripping wet from the rain. * Maybe it isn’t. For someone it wouldn’t fit you’re awfully interested suddenly. I’m thinking you know more than you are saying. Let’s suppose we found an old bunker, what would you say then?

Again meaning when Baird dragged me and Cole here with a locker full of crap but you didn’t answer the door. * Paduk said sarcastically before continuing * Oh sure, we all carry paper and pencils everywhere to tell write little notes to strangers explaining why we were disobeying orders. It’s favourite pass time. * He mocked before getting up and…[Read more]

// Kind of need to. But thank you.

// I hope he’s just been busy playing games.

// Kind of you. Thank you. Work buried me alive and still sort of is but the really bad part is behind me for now.

// A long process of sleep while full of food does sound nice.

// Hey buddy! You ok? We know it’s rp and we’ll let you know when we aren’t having it. So no worries. Haha

* There was a reason The Gear looked at her strangely. No one was allowed to enter or leave any COG positions. * Urr I’m sorry miss but I don’t think anyone is after you. * The young Gear said in an uncertain and slightly higher pitched voice before being relieved by someone a little more familiar to Jean. * Stand easy brother, I can handle thi…[Read more]

It has been some time indeed miss. I’m pleased to see that you look no worse for it. * Tai thinks carefully about what he says since it is monitored. * A loud thud could be someone with their hands full trying to knock. I’m sorry for the trouble you have been through but no Gear has been permitted to leave for quite some time. Are you sure it was…[Read more]

You surprise me miss. None of your friends dress like that? I thought at least two did. * Tai watched her closely then looked around at his surroundings. * I see no threats as of yet. This lockdown is reactionary, not preemptive. It seems our hospitality was not to everyone’s taste. A pity, the hospitals were benefiting greatly from our aid.

* Tai tapped his ear then pointed upwards. He knew what was going on but couldn’t say anything because Control monitored and recorded everything Gears said. * I do not think it wise to be here at the moment. Miss Urd has put the COG on edge and I would hate for anyone to push. * This wasn’t what he wanted to say but all the he could. His hope was…[Read more]

I would expect no other result from you. Reason and compassion seem to be your forte. * Tai nods as he shakes her hand. * A pleasure miss. Stay safe out there and never jump to conclusions. * He says as parting wisdom before leaning through the passenger window at the front and handing the driver some very crumpled notes. * This fair is on me. *…[Read more]

// So he was once a sweet and innocent young lad. aww

No noise inside, door is locked, she is not here.

Man I have to agree on this one.

This was all waste of time.

Then why even agree to this.

Chance to piss off COG and check UIR frequency still works. Come on, let’s get this back before someone notices.

// Love you too my dear friend!! 🥰

// oyy we love you too! Just keep on bribing me with booze and parfait!

// we’re grateful for you too!

* The Gear leads to get a closer look at the badge and nods then disappears behind the gate to open it. As it slides open it reveal a squad of four Gears in black armour waiting on the other side with Lancers in hand. * Come with us. Do not deviate and do not touch anything. * The lead Gear said very sternly with remarkably little personality. *

* Two of the Onyx Guard walk in front of her and two walk behind. It takes some time just to reach the entrance to the building itself as they cross a former parking lot that is now a motor pool. Every Gear they walk past, of which there is a great many, stops and watches with great curiosity. The entrance to the reclaimed building has been…[Read more]

* The door slides away and leads to a large office area that has been stripped out except for one chair in the centre of the room and a desk with chair at the far end. Inside several more Onyx Guard were lining the edge of the room. Behind the desk sat a man in noticeably more ornate armour, with dark black hair and a fine moustache. A large…[Read more]

* The man behind the desk opened the book, showing that it was blank inside, pulled out a pen and began taking notes. * I am Colonel Walker, I will be conducting this investigation into destruction of government and military property, conspiracy and potentially the solicitation of an assassin. I will be taking a personal log of the events today…[Read more]

* He writes everything down very calmly and doesn’t seem impressed in the slightest. * Every piece of information has its value in helping establish your character. * Paduk scoffs. * COG loves their red tape. * Walker clears his throat and begins the investigation proper. * So miss Urd, I trust you can recall the incident that we are i…[Read more]

I’m sure you remember the extreme conditions that facilitated our arrival. Wild and destructive weather patterns, monsters crawling out of everywhere a body could fit and huge energy spikes. Several probes, drones and notably artillery rounds were launched towards the epicentre of the chaos. Not a single one was able to reach its intended t…[Read more]

* Paduk almost smirked. * Baird and Cole, maybe, but I had been away for weeks before then. Besides, I don’t take orders from you. * He said referring to anyone outside the COG. * Miss Urd, the Coalition of Ordered Governments, is, the legal authority. The only time destruction of our property has ever been understandable has been in times of c…[Read more]

Ha. You think COG cares? * Walker held up a hand to signal for Paduk to quiet himself. * Likewise you do not have the authority to destroy military property, yet here we are. * Walker quietly gave the briefest of chuckles. * You couldn’t possibly afford it. But cost is not the issue here, it is intent. Private Paduk here I believe confronted you a…[Read more]

So you are saying you can afford to manufacture materials that aren’t found naturally in this world, hire and pay the wages of the smartest minds about since we didn’t feel it wise to bring them here, pay for the construction of a manufacturing complex then finance it and give it a work force of paid employees. That’s before any work begins. You s…[Read more]

See, not thirsty. * Paduk scoffed putting away the water bottle. * Continuing to take notes Walker clarified. * Rika, you say. She is who I referred to when I said soldier, the assassin was reserved for whoever you sent after Paduk. * Walker opened a draw on his desk and started rummaging. * She has no authority over us, I promise that. So what…[Read more]

Pathetic. I told you she’s a coward. * Paduk grunted to Walker. * Powerful is the word I would choose private. Powerful and hostile. We shall have to be cautious in future. You three. * He pointed at some of the Onyx Guard in the room. * Reinforce the defenses and secure the perimeter. * Paduk began to leave the room. * This was a waste of time. Y…[Read more]
