open Mercenaries

[Uri 7]

Sitting on her haunches, the dark cream pony pressed her right hoof against the bump on her head. Oh, it really hurts a lot. Dizzily she opened her eyes and screamed when she found two gun barrels pointing at her. Immediatly she jumped onto her hooves and bumped against the wall, her eyes blinked to adjust to the darkness of the enclosed room. She didn't know if she should be considered luckless or not when she escaped one death just to run into another. "M-my name is Coral Coves. You see, I used magic to teleport to here, so I didn't mean it! " The fatigue in her voice wasn't hard to miss. "P-please don't kill me!"

[jdor11 91]

... seeing coral bump her head in to the wall again simon put the guns down > definitely not a huge threat< simon thought, "well seeing how your not a... terrible threat, that and the fact that your remind me of someone, i will let you live... but question did you say you went through a magic teleporter?" simon said in a curios tone

[Uri 7]

"Uh, thank you?" Forcing a guilty smile, Coral looked around to make sure the person was talking to her. The caution she held toward him vaporized once she realized he probably didn't know that much about unicorns. "A magic teleporter? What's that?" Letting her guard down, she took her time to rest from the running she just had. "We unicorns have magic. And with the right spell and practices we can do anything, like teleporting to anyplace you want. " Proudly she pointed her horn in the air, until she noticed cinders covered around her muzzle. "Mm, normally the caster should have a clear image of where they are going, but I just...flashed."

 

More at ease now, Coral got up to watch the human with interest. "Who did I remind you? "

[jdor11 91]

"hmm? oh umm no one important to you." simon said in a casual tone, "well seeing how you have no where to go at the moment how about you stay here? there is another pony working for me, he should be back soon, i have to warn you though he is... different."

[Uri 7]

Coral hang her head dissapointedly when no name was given, but immediatly stared up when she realized what the person was suggesting. "You mean... you are giving me a job?" She murmured, the bump didn't even hurt anymore. My cargo ended up turning on me, so I definitely lost my job. Jobs were scarce these days, especially for a magicless unicorn like her. Too overwhelmed to think she agreed without even asking more questions. "Ok, I'll do it! I'll do it!" For a person that she just met less than five minutes, she thought he was pretty nice and generous, even thought he owned a few... dangerous guns. Maybe those are just collections. I did intrude his rooom.

 

Cinders flew off her pink/orange hair when she shook her neck to be more formal. "Let me introduce myself again, I am Coral. Before I almost got eaten by my cargo, I was a Transporter, making sure the clients' stuffs are delivered safely from one point to another. " She beamed. "Nice to meet you, boss."

[jdor11 91]

"nice to meet you coral, my name is simon, i am glad to hear you are willing to take the job, although i truthfully don't really know what misson's i could send you on... unless.... can you... i dont know... transport supplies to a certain location with just a picture?" simon said a little excited

Pyro walked into the base sat down, he pulled out his lighter and started burning his magazine. "Command, who is this?" Delta asked Command, "This is the newest member of your team, he's a bit of a pyromaniac though." replied Command. "Good to know." Delta responded, he walked to the bench and sat down.

[Uri 7]

"On it, boss." Confidently Coral saluted and trotted away to the door, then did she think about what the objective meant, pausing. Turning toward Simon she lightly clicked her hoof at the ground, confused. "Transport supplies with a picture? Uh, I am not sure how I can do that. Also, is there any apartments for rent around here? Where are we anyway?" The more she observed the surroundings, the more she felt like this place was an underground dungeon. Is this where he lives? I hope there are more than this room.

''Heyyyy Buddy! Now that we've gotten to know each other.. I can have the Flamethrower?'' Splinter said while reaching for Pyro's Flamethrower.

[jdor11 91]

"oh yes right i guess i should explain to you the situation, i am simon leader of a secret mercenary group, my goal is to help the world anyway i can, but lately i have been having a bit of trouble with a different mercenary group, who has recently destroyed my base, so we had to move everything here, to my older base. also if you are going to join i will need to run a few test's simple medical test, also i would encourage you not to cause to much trouble? i will also show clone 550 show you to your room." simon said in a tired voice " 550?! where are you?" simon shouted

[Uri 7]

"Mercenaries?" Casting Simon a sympathizing look, Coral knew how it must feel to lose home. Should I really join? I heard of it before, but it doens't sound that bad. As long as she got pay, she didn't think she can't do this job. Besides, causing troubles weren't what she prone to do, at least she thought she was. "Sure. When do you want to start?" Coral shrugged casually and looked toward the entrance with craned neck, expecting an band of five hundred and fifty person to show up. "Uh, it's okay. I don't need that many people to show me around... Do you have any vehicles?"

[jdor11 91]

"what? oh! no no no, i am calling for my clone assistant, his name is 550, although he is not showing up at the moment... well anyway, yes we have vehicles we have a few helis here and there, as for the testing, we shall start right now! follow me please" simon motioned for coral to follow him walking out the door he lead her through a long white hallway that looked as if it belonged in a hospital, simon as he was walking radioed Z, "Z statues report, how is the misson?"

[Uri 7]

((When you say clone 550, does it go like five-five-o? Or five hundred fifty?))

 

"Oh~ For a moment I thought you have an army of five hundred and fifty people. ...Do you?" Coral nodded in understanding, surprised to see the white walled hallway as she followed behind Simon. Not totally a dungeon. Did I even have the magic to teleport myself to an underground facility? "Did you build this place?" Somehow the designs suggested her that it might be the leader's favor. "Is there anything- Oh, sorry. Go on." Seeing that he was on radio, the dark cream pony stared back the way they came from.

[jdor11 91]

simon put the radio back in his pocket and waited for a answer, "i used to have a army of more then 1000 clones but no not anymore... you sure ask a lot of questions you know that?" simon walked up to a steel door and opened it "in here please," simon said almost emotionlessly, they walked in to a small room with a chair in the middle and a few medical supplies, "sit in the chair and wait for a few seconds i have to get some thing's. simon left the room with coral waiting (also you pronounce it as 5 50)

[Uri 7]

At the sight of the steel door, Coral wasn't sure about the purpose of it, but she regarded as the leader's taste. Despite her antcipation, the room looked like fairly normal, like a common medical bay with supplies. The clones she expected to see were nowhere in sight. It was possible to produce clones, but only for the rich ones who can afford and need organ transplantation. I thought clones are outlawed not to be use for military purpose. Again she casted Simon a sympathetic glance. Does he live here by himself? Coral sat down on the chair, wondering what the tests are all about.

[MrL0LZ 866]

''Heyyyy Buddy! Now that we've gotten to know each other.. I can have the Flamethrower?'' Splinter said while reaching for Pyro's Flamethrower.

 

Pyro goes to burn the tip of Splinters hoof with his lighter, then goes back to burning his magazine.

[jdor11 91]

simon walked back in to the room pushing a cart, on the cart were beakers and chemicals, there were a few other electronic devises that coral did not recognize, "sorry about the wait i had to get a few thing's before the testing, now i know this may look scary but do not worry no harm will come to you other then a shot or two." simon said in a calm voice

[null123456 759]

''I think that's a no..'' Splinter said while frowning.

[MrL0LZ 866]

"Refrain from stealing personal equipment." replied Delta.

[null123456 759]

''Okay, Okay!'' Splinter said while shrugging.

[Uri 7]

"Wow, that's a lot of stuffs you brought. Uh, thank you? " A cart full of electronic devices and chemicals was convincing Coral that this place was some sort of former secret lab or something. Hesitately she tapped one of the beaker with her hoof, watching a couple of bubbles rose up to the surface of the chemical. "A shot or two is scarry enough. " She mumbled in reply, shuffling nervously on the chair and debating whether she should refuse or not. Well, it should be okay if he said it is okay. "They are safe, right?"

[jdor11 91]

"completely safe no harm will be brought to you, these are just special chemicals used for medical purpose's" simon said confidently, simon then mixed a few chemicals together and mixed them in a small test tube, then grabbing a I.V. that was connected to a machine and walked toward coral, "show me your arm please, this should only take a secound

[Uri 7]

Watching Simon mixing the chemicals together reminded Coral of bartender blending wine. So many chemicals. It looks like he's done this before. Is he a doctor? The confidence she heard in Simon's voice made her felt that she didn't have many options. "Alright." Reluctantly Coral stretched out her arm in front of her, turning her head to look away with her other free arm covering her squeezed shut eyes. "So did everybody else before me take this medical test, too?" She mumbled.

[jdor11 91]

"only Z but he was unconscious then he doesn't even know he got one, you and Z are... special." simon said, he then put the I.V. in and turned on the machine, "now this may tickle" simon took the chemicals and plugged them in to the machine, "if you feel a little dizzy of have a hard time concentrating don't worry that might happen, nothing bad will happen though, now you stay here as i go bring back some data" simon grabbed a tube that suddenly poped out of the machine after he pressed a button, he then walked out of the room again with the tube

[Uri 7]

"Z was unconscious? But you still-still... " Coral frowned as she started to feel dizzy all of a sudden, blinking uncomfortably at the light that looked brighter than seconds ago. Her arm felt numb enough now to ignore the piercing needle and the cold chemicals. With her eyes opened now, she inhaled and exhaled slowly to shaken off the sick feelings. What was in that ? "Uhh... " Even if Simon told her to do push ups or whatever, she could hardly think let along not staying where she was. "Uhh... That was... the worst shot ever. "
