*Vi'car put away his rifle, and turned to Jack:*

"Ha ha, I have no qualms against Humans, regardless of involvement in the Relay 314 Incident. Although I will admit that you are a...feisty species."

*Vi'car smiled and turned as Sam and Jimmy came out of the Durandal.*

“Well it seems you guys had no problem completing my little test, I hope there will be no hard feelings, I just needed some reassurance that I was not getting myself into a situation I will regret.”

*Vi'car drew his pistol and tackled Jimmy.*

"You! You sent Krogan after us?! I should kill you right now, who the hell do you think you are!?"

Sam drew his pistol as well, training it on Jimmy.

"A Goddam TEST?!?!?! You wasted lives on some kind of TEST? First, where do YOU ge off testing US? YOU don't even outrank ME, much less putting the CAPTAIN in danger. Give us one reason why we shouldn't ether let the Turian blow you to bits; or throw you in cryo, ship you to Earth and court martial you. And it really better be a good one, because you wasted lives, genophage or NO genophage."

As the Turian tackled Jimmy, his helmet and winnings flew through the air and bounced in every possible direction.

“God damn”, Jimmy said as he struggled to get to his feet.

“Why don’t you guys go cry to someone else, I don’t know about you guys but I like to know what I am getting into when I take on one of these bulls**t assignments the council is always giving. If you don’t look out for yourself these days no one will.”

“As for all of your empty threats, I will take them with a grain of salt. And as for putting the captain in danger, I am sure she is a big girl capable of handling herself. Speaking of which where is she? I need to speak with her.”

"Yeah yeah, give us that crap shpiel later. I know how it goes 'wah wah whine moan no trusting people blah bored blah test a new crew blah.' Captain, Ma'am, I'd like to grant Vi'car permission to blow this man's brains across the deck. Or do it myself, not too picky. At least turn him in to C-Sec for questioning. And I hear that a couple of the Turian investigators are EVER so gentle with their cavity searches..."

"Do you know HOW many alliance regs and Citadel laws you just broke? If we put this in a report you'll never see combat again unless some one invades a prison colony. You'll be left on the back end of Alliance space until your GRANDKIDS are admirals. At the VERY minimum, you're looking at conspiracy and attempted assault, which is 5 years minimum in an Alliance jail. And it wouldn't take a JAG lawyer three seconds to spin this as mutiny or treason, which have a sentence of life in prison or DEATH! So you BETTER come up with a better reason than that one."

Sam never lowered his pistol, keeping it trained on Jimmy's head.

(OOC: Seriously. Court martial is about the only option open here, and 5 years in jail. But Commanding Officers have a choice to administer a punishment themselves rather than turn them in, but if it is too light, it can be protested and reported to the Judge Advocate General [JAG(military lawyers)] for appropriate punishment.)

*Vi'car held his pistol level with Jimmy's face.*

"That is your answer? Never in my life have I heard anything so idiotic, save for a drunken Salarian I know. The Council does not create joint task forces every day, and nothing about this mission is routine or "bullshit", as you say. Do you have any moral reserve? If it was not for the Commander rushing us out, I could have easily shot someone back in Chora's Den. You are a danger to this crew and the Citadel as a whole, and I am alerting C-Sec to your actions. Try to stop me, and I will kill you."

*Vi'car accessed C-Sec via his omni-tool, but never took and eye off of Jimmy.*

"They should be here shortly, I would stay where you are if you want to see trial.*

*Vi'car smiled.*

"Except that my Omni-tool as been recording everything that has happened since the Durandal arrived. So I'm afraid that we have all the evidence that C-Sec could ever want."

*Just then, the dock access lift arrived, and six Turian C-Sec officers stepped out. The noticed the standoff near the Durandal, and rushed over, weapons drawn.*

"Alright, everyone back away from each other, and lower your weapons. We just received word from a Vi'car Innortalis that the fight in Chora's Den was an attempt on Systems Alliance lives. Where is Vi'car?"

*Vi'car put down his weapon and addressed the C-Sec officer.*

"I am Vi'car. And this Human *points* just confessed to staging this entire affair to kill myself and the other Humans."

*Vi'car copies the recorded conversation to the officer's omni-tool.*

Jimmy laughed coolly, as he turns to address the C-Sec officers.

“Good day fella’s, Jimmy Boone Jr., glad you got here in time, this Turian was starting to get a crazy look in his eyes.”

“Regarding the Krogans, I really have no clue what happened. I was talking to one of them, an accomplice of mine, in Chora’s Den about a new order I had received. No details obviously.”

“That Krogan right there”, Jimmy said as he pointed to a lifeless corpse, “told me he knew all about it already and that he heard the crew chosen wasn’t the right people for the job. He claimed they were too soft. That’s where our conversation ended and I headed up to The Flux to try my luck before we head off to wherever they are sending us. Witnesses from Chora’s Den will attest that the Krogan and I sat at the bar the whole time, which is not a place any sane man would be discussing the things I am being accused of.”

“As for confessing to this crime, I made an ill-timed joke which offended everyone and got me centered in the sights of oh, maybe three or four guns. The extent of my guilt ends there, as it was simply a joke and nothing more.”

The C-Sec officer Jimmy addressed with an understanding face began to inspect the Krogan corpses.

Sam brought the turret read outs up on his omni tool.

"You forget we record gun-cams? And confessions are admissible in all courts and irrefutable in a Court martial trial. No lawyer will buy your joke idea. You'll be in for some trouble. Not to mention security tapes from the ship and anything else we can scrounge up. As well as the assualts in Chora's Den...my Uncle back on Earth is a JAG lawyer. You have a mess of trouble, and at the very least a discharge without honor at your feet. not to mention your joke causing problems for the politicians who will discharge you to cover their rears."

Sam keyed his omni tool and activated a comm channel to the embassy.

"Even if you're not going to jail, your career in the Alliance is done."

(OOC: A lot of this has to do with the existing US military regulations, which Mass Effect is based on. And politics, well politics is politics. It's a constant. I have been leaving an out, I'm not doing this as a personal thing. But this is really how people would react to this sort of thing. And as I said, the Captain has an out. She gives a punishment that is fair, and it works out without a report on record or anything. But you chose this intro, and well...)

Jack was pissed off now, he walked over to this 'Jimmy' fellow, "Soft? I didn't see a single Krogan at the siege of the citadel, and me and probably these guys too fought for 13 hours before it was over, non-stop gunshots. And I'd liked to see him say that he's soft to us when he's fucking dead!" Jack shouted. The C-Sec officers looked up but weren't concerned. "I don't like this guy already, but if the captain doesen't press charges AND he's gonna come with us, he'd better stay away from us. Screw this I'm off." Jack said pointing at Jimmy. Then clanking all the way back to the ship and inside, then walked to Mako and started to repair it.

John never strayed his gun from his target. He waited there untill C-sec had arrived to take him away. After wards, John had gone back to his quarters, and tried to relieve the stress of the day. He had always found solice in cleaning his weapons.

"Maybe you should ask that twat!" Jack said stressfully pointing at Jimmy, "He made us panic, put us all in danger, you in danger, that's like mutiny. Sunuvabitch....." Jack explained. Then he took his helmet off and put it on the floor and looked at her. "If this is the other crew-mate, I wan't him to stay the hell away. No talking to me or annoying me. I'm pretty sure the others would agree to that...."

Name: Casey Shelton Black
Age: 26
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 75 kg
Rank: Master Sergeant
Race: Human

Appearance: Young, with sharp features, and short-cut, light-brown and slightly curly hair, and emerald green eyes. (Caucasian). Lost his left arm in combat and now has it replaced with a cybernetic one. Armor is speckered green.
Specialization: Soldier

Service History: Black grew up an orphan in South Africa. His parents died in an airplane crash, and the young boy found himself alone in the Kalahari desert, with a broken leg, and no hope of surviving. He crawled for three days until he came upon a rebel camp, and was taken in as a child soldier in exchange for food and roof over the head.

When he turned sixteen, the civil war ended and the rebel movement turned in their weapons. As a result, Black was left not knowing what to do. He got a chance to join the Alliance Military, and did so, seing lots of action against space pirates on border planets. During his latest mission his transport was shot down, and he and his fellow soldiers were captured and tortured by pirates. During the torture his left arm was cut off.

When he as the only survivor was later rescued by marines, his arm was beyond saving, but it was replaced by a cybernetic one to allow him to continue as a soldier. It looks like the real thing, though, and few people know it's not. However, due to his past which he has not yet overcome completely, Black is mentally scarred, and is prone to excessive violence from time to time.

People would describe him as a loner, a good soldier who cannot stand bigotry, and is haunted by his own memories. All he think of these days is doing his job as a soldier, and protect the people on the human colonies. The thought of being pulled off active duty scares him more than anything else as he doesn't know how to live off the battlefield.

Weapon: HMWA assault rifle




Black stared down at the arm dispassionately. Moving it he felt a slight tingle where the cybernetic arm joined with the real deal. The pain was worse, though, the arm hammering with it so much he barely cared to move it at all. The doctors had said it would go away with time. It didn't really bother him, though. What did bother him was what would happen to him now - he had heard rumors of other marines that had lost limbs in battle and had them replaced by cybernetic ones, only to be shipped off to do desktop duty for the rest of their careers. That thought scared him more than anything else.

He was free from duty for now, free to roam the Citadel until orders were given. But Black wasn't in the mood for tourism. He had too much on his mind - whether he was going to be allowed to stay in active duty, or if they would put him on desktop duty. The thought of living a life as a pencip pusher wasn't his dream of a future career - fighting was all he had done for the most part of his life - first as a child soldier in Africa, then as a member of the Alliance Military. It was all he was good for. And it was all he wanted to do.

The nurse felt on his cybernetic arm, and asked: "How does it feel? Does it still hurt?" He looked at her and shrugged, as if he didn't care. She noticed it, and explained: "This arm is about ten times the strength of your real arm. It isn't going to prevent you from doing your job - on the contrary." He slowly clenched the fist, and grimaced as the pain struck him again. It wasn't the arm in itself, but rather phantom pain of his lost arm - the body had not yet gotten used to having a cybernetic one. It would probably last for another few days, if the doctor was right, before the body adapted to its presence.
"I'll get by." He muttered.

Suddenly, a cadette entered the med bay, and looked around. His eyes fell on Black, and he approached, moving up into attention: "Master Sergeant, sir. Your transfer orders have arrived." Black reached out and took the piece of paper the cadette held, then waved his hand for the man to leave. As he opened the orders, he looked through them and grunted.

"The Durandal, huh?" He said with surprise. It was one of the most high-tech ships in the Alliance Navy. It was an odd thing for a maimed grunt like him to be transferred to such a ship. Not that he complained, of course. He wanted nothing more than to get back to the frontlines, and once again feel the scorching heat of war burn in his face. Crumbling the paper in his right hand, he stood up, grabbed the bag with his gear and threw it over his shoulder. "I'm off." He said. "Thanks for the fix-up, nurse. And the painkillers." He added with a grunt before leaving. He ignored her protests about him needing rest, and instead, headed for the docking bays.


(OOC: I'll have him arrive at the docks in the next post, when things have calmed down a bit.)
