[SRP] Black Sun

[Haylie]

Paula immediately rushes up and plants her foot firmly on Claudia's back, then makes to rip the helmet off her head to see her face, one hand holding her rifle against her back.

"Who the hell're you and why're you trying to kill me?!" She's panting heavily and soaked with rain, but this woman's pissed. It's obvious, even from the sound in her voice, that she's ready and willing to pull the trigger of her rifle the moment she hears an answer she doesn't like.

[Harri-chan]

Her hand had just closed around the pistol when the foot presses down on her back, driving her chest into the ground before her helmet was pulled off, dark brown curls of hair spilling out of it to hang down against her back. As she lifted her head, the rain splashed across the pale skin of her pretty face. She looked as if she were in her early twenties, with dark brown eyes, high cheek bones and pouty red lips.

"If I was trying to kill you, you'd already be dead...", she smirked. It didn't take long for the rain to soak through her hair, and just like Paula she was out of breath. "Go check my gun... it's set to stun, you're worth nothing to me dead... Paula".

[Haylie]

Paula paused, but only for a moment. Without taking her eyes, or her gun, off Claudia's back, she says, "Bendak, check the gun. I've got to hold the perp."

She wasn't sure what authority she had over Bendak, but she didn't see much reason for him to argue. She was slowly catching her breath as she spoke to Claudia, "Commander First-Class Dackers to you. How do you know who I am? My dossier's classified three times over. While I'm at it, who hired you, how did you get here, and what exactly do you want with me?"

[Knight Errant]

Bright heads over. "DACKERS!" He pauses. "Nice job. But I hope for your sake you are as confused as you sound. If you concealed something that would cause a danger to the mission, you wouldn't have to worry about assassins, because your ass will be MINE."

[Zoey]

Stryker keeps his distance between the two waring ladies, glad the squirmish is over. He looks around to check if Miss Assassin lady brought more friends, but it didn't look like it. "Looks like we got our reason for why communications were cut" he said looking at the woman.

[Harri-chan]

Claudia rose to her knees in the middle of them, cringing as the rain started to trickle down her neck, and into the battered body armour, although she chuckled and shook her head as Paula began making demands. "I'm not like you. I don't follow commands like some obedient little puppy dog". Her dark brown eyes looked up at them, over Bright, Bendak and Stryker. "That's what you all are! You get everything handed to you on a plate without working for any of it, as a reward for being good boys and girls, huh?".

[Haylie]

Paladin aims a swift jab at Claudia's forehead. Quite frankly, she'd had enough of this bullcrap.

She grabs hold of the neck of Claudia's armor and yells in her face, "I'M asking the questions here! I wanna know what you want with me and I wanna know NOW!"

Upon being accused by Bright, she looks at him with fire in her eyes. "... WHAT?! You think I would bring an assassin here?! Are you BLIND?! SHE fired at ME! I wouldn't hire an assassin to kill myself! How would I hire her, anyway? I've spent the past I don't give a damn how long asleep!"

[Zoey]

Stryker walks up to Paladin. "Cool it, Miss PMS" said Stryker with a casual face. "Did you even check if what she said about her ammunition was right? Instead of screaming our heads off, lets get our facts straight. She didnt hurt you or any of us or anything so I dont see much about being angry when obviously she failed".

[Evra]

chris walks up to the group looking at paula standing there seemingly emotionless behind his visor as he look around "you know not to sound to smart but wouldnt we be better off interregating her inside so we dont get a cold or something i dont feel like giving away my position by sneezing cause we decided to play in the rain ..."

[Brnin8r]

Bendak, who'd just suffered another blow to his ego, had long since gotten up after being flat on his face. A good thing too, as the grenade that had detonated in close proximity to him had merely grazed most of his armor and dinged it around his legs, though he knew for sure there was at least one piece of shrapnel that had scratched, pierced, or embedded itself into his leg. Despite that, he wasn't about to compromise the mission right at the start. He growled and stood up, walking over to the bounty hunter, assuming that if she wanted to she could kill him as he did, and that she could recognize if he got a hold of her, she'd have a broken neck. He crouched down by the assassin, his helmet guarding his pained look, running his hand around the gun just inches away from it locating the setting dial. "She's telling the truth Paladin. You're a live animal to her..." his helmeted face glanced to her, "...as well." he jokingly added. Though no one could see his face, everyone could tell he was smiling.

[Harri-chan]

Claudia's head snapped back as she was punched, and it obviously hurt, as she winced and groaned, trying to lift her hands up to clutch her forehead before Paula grabbed her by the neck and yelled into her face as she knelt upon the floor. Her brown eyes looked up for a moment, and then around at the others, as some seemed to make some rude remarks towards Paula herself, while another suggested they get out of the rain, and her smirk returned when she heard Bendak's comments towards the one they called Paladin.

"Look at you, you're all pathetic. I don't care what you -want- you spoiled little brat. You don't get everything you want out here in the real world... ", she snapped, and suddenly sprang up at the other woman, aiming a punch of her own for the underside of Paula's jaw.

[Knight Errant]

Bright: "Dont be an IDIOT! THATS NOT WHAT I ASKED! I asked if you left out anything in your file that would cause someone to send an assassin after you. If so I'm going to nail you to the wall so hard your feet wont touch the ground." He growls.

He snaps around as Claudia leaps at Paula, rushing forward and tacking her to the ground. Soon, she feels the cool tickle of a combat knife slit through the neck joint of her armor. "Believe me when I tell you... our mission would go alot smoother with you dead. So go ahead... give me a reason, you scum."

Claudia manages to catch Paula's jaw even as Bright tackles her. She takes a step back, clutching her jawbone and working it a few times to make sure nothing's broken.

Stryker walks up to Paladin. "Cool it, Miss PMS" said Stryker with a casual face. "Did you even check if what she said about her ammunition was right? Instead of screaming our heads off, lets get our facts straight. She didnt hurt you or any of us or anything so I dont see much about being angry when obviously she failed".

She smooths her hair back. "Pardon me, Majesty, if I'm a bit miffed at being SHOT AT. It's not something one takes kindly to."

"You're lucky we're on the same team, Bendak, or you and your smart ass would still be in the cryo bay."

Bright: "Dont be an IDIOT! THATS NOT WHAT I ASKED! I asked if you left out anything in your file that would cause someone to send an assassin after you. If so I'm going to nail you to the wall so hard your feet wont touch the ground." He growls.

Paula's just barely keeping her cool, speaking to her superior. "No, sir. I'll thank you not to insult my intelligence like that. I've double- and triple-checked my file a dozen different times to check for corruptions, I know it all by heart at this point. Nothing's changed recently."

[Harri-chan]

Her concentration was entirely on the other female, the elevation of returning Paula's punch with one of her own short-lived as Bright slammed into the side of her, sending her right back down onto the wet ground, her body armour grinding across the floor, ripping away even more of the black paint. She fell quite still when she felt the knife pressed against her neck, and her brown eyes looked up at Bright for a moment before glancing back to Paula with a snort...

[Zoey]

Stryker walks up to the Assassin, looking down as he puts an arm into his pocket. "Hey princess. I suggest you play nice if you value your life. Got it?"
