Snippet #1844769

“All be good 'n well we'all survived, introductions inside. Please?” The Australian was shivering to his bones, as he was doing even before the drop. Why not a tropical island, or at least some place neutral, like all hidden bases were?

Heh, Kai took a few moments to observe the crew he was going to work with. He had already taken note of the serious-business boss, and the cold second-in-command. The others were more then jack's of all trades to him at the moment. Because he couldn't be arsed to figure out who had what kind of job on this mission, anyway. That the majority were all upbeat and excited about this whole thing was enough.

One of the females in the group had even asked if they'd be getting a second jump like this. “But without ta shivering cold, heh.” After everyone had calmed down from the rushing jump, And of course checking for any, Swiss-Cheese-to-be holes. they'd be preparing themselves to enter the base.

“Wow, maybe next time I will refrain from sneaking up on you.”

“Yes, ye'd be better off I'll wager.” Kai retorted, his expression both shocked, and surprised that near-violent reactions were already present. ”This ain't a best start, is it?” He questioned himself, gently glaring at his own hands, that had gone to a vague blueish colour from the cold. “Oi, I'll wager it'd be warm and cosy down 'ere.” A hinted tone in his voice, Racket wasn't probably the only organic life form that needed a good warm-up.

The old scientist, who had introduced himself as Dr. Helix, walked back to the entrance. The boss, and his second-in-command following behind him. “I better be keepin' my bloody distance from 'er. Don' wanna end up with a dagger in me face.” Kai stated, softly, but just loud enough for anyone nearby to hear him.

The base was, least to say, amazing. Everything appeared to be planned out into the littlest of details. Defences, both organic and artificial (Turrets.). The doc even mentioned they'd stacked on provisions should the group need 'em. Though Kai would take his chances with the devices he had brought.

“Everyone be lookin' at us weirldy. We some kind o' showcase er somethin'? I feel like a monkey...” Both the general who was guarding the vault door, and the female hacker, Who Kai thought had quite the lovely appearance, I might add. were examining the group like a suspicious package that had just arrived.

“So this is the group, I guess it'll do.” The woman stated rather bored, if not unsatisfied with the appearance of the SWORD members.

“I'll be doin' my best ta change yer opinion, Love.” The technician retorted, he was the best damned technician they could find in the whole world, of course! Or else he wouldn't be here. Same went for the others in the group...

Introduction time, it seemed. So, the lovely hacker lady was called Lilian, Kai'd remember that. Dante, was the name of their leader. Well, he had that 'Leadership' appearance going on, seemed to have lots of experience with leading groups as well. They'd be in good hands.

The cold, and lets us not forget 'One-who-greets-with-knife-to-yer-face', was named Ava. “Yep, she be on me 'Keep-yer-distance' list.” Kai whispered to himself...

Guess it was up to him to introduce himself next, no? The technician stepped forward, a bright smile forming on his face as he gave everyone present a two fingered salute.

“Ta name be Kai Crosshaw, Racket ta everyone I work with. Best damn'd technician on Earth, pleased ta meet ya all!” He gave everyone his wide smile, before taking a step back to his original spot and listen in to everyone else introducing themselves...
