OOC: Guess I'll intro you, M3tal... BoT: *Leon looks over some of the papers he's holding, tossing some away (mainly because they have perverted things on them...)* Leon: Wait here. I have a call to make. *Leon pulls out a cellphone, and dials in a number.* ???: Yo. Leon: Leon. ???: Sup! Wanna 'nuther hitman? Leon: Need your merc. ???: Which one? Leon: The Caged One. ???: It'll cost ya. Leon: Name your price. ???: 15K in adavance, and another 15K when he comes back. Leon: Not worth it. 7.5K each way. ???: 10K each. Leon: 16K total, 8 in adavanced or bust. You know how good of a customer I am. You don't want to lose me. ???: Fine, fine! He'll come tomorrow. Leon: Today and I'll tack on a 1K bonus. ???: Done. *Leon ends the call, and puts way his phone.* Adam: Who was that? Leon: You could call him a business partner. Sometimes I get a man that wants a job. Sometimes I have a job for that man. Otherwise, I sell him to my... partner. Adam: Slaves? Leon: Mercenaries.
(Corners Adam and Leon in dark alley) Io: Freeze! Leon: What the fuk?! Adam: (Points gun at Io) I go, you go. Io: Lowers gun slowly Leon (Quietly) What do you want? Io: I just saw you kill a man ruthlessly. Adam: We- Leon: (interrupting) And you're here to get revenge? Io: I'm here to find out what you're doing. Who are you with? Leon: We're Mafiosos. Happy? Io: Yes. Do you need a runner? Adam: Eh? Io: Want me to work for you. I need a job. Leon: Uh, we don't usually recruit guys like this... Io: I don't usually ask. Leon: One wrong move. One. And you're dead. Capisce? Io: Yeah. Adam: Who are you, anyway? Io: Cage. Io Cage. Leon: So you're the infamous Io Cage? (looks him up and down) I would've expected a little more...class. Well, I was meaning to contact you anyway... Io: I have trouble finding work. My reputation doesn't help. I've killed too many of my bosses. Leon: And...what's stopping you from killing me? Io: Fear. Adam: I don't believe that for a second. Io: I won't kill you. Any of you. Leon: This is too good to turn down. I don't trust you, Cage. But I will accept you into the fold. You take orders from all of us. I'm also blaming any unknown deaths on you, Capisce? Io: (smiling) Capisce.
OOC: Eh... You were a merc... I called your employer... now you escaped?! Does that mean I don't need to pay you? You were the Caged One... BoT: Leon: Fine. We'll each need these for the next 'job.' *Leon hands everyone a headset complete with a targeting screen/night vision/thermal vision screen hidden inside the pair of sunglasses that the headset is attached to. He then hands them each wrist display screens (like Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell).* Adam: Just wonderin', what exactly are we gonna do, boss? Leon: Infiltrate the S.W.A.R.M. building. And don't call me boss. Adam: I thought you owned the place. Leon: I do. but I want to give the Shadow Soldiers a lesson they won't forget. Okay, the sunglasses/headset system runs on its own battery, so don't worry about that. It's got a life of 2 years. See the small cable? *Points at the one hanging off the left end of the sunglasses.* Hook that into your wrist pad. *Hooks them up.* Now hit the thermal, nightvison, or targeting screen buttons to get whatever effects. The wrist pad can also fire a 'Controller.' The controller uses radio waves on the nanoscopic scale. Use them to activate/deactivate the Mechs.
OOC: Fine. I won't need to pay him... BoT: *Leon and Io take Adam's Ferarri, while Adam takes his newly acquired Ferarri F50 down to the S.W.A.R.M. building.* Leon: WHo's a good sniper? Io: I am. Leon: Fine. see climb the building next to the S.W.A.R.M. building and get set up. Adam, you're with me.

Io: Lucky? Fuc'k, I don't believe it! Norton Foot! I haven't seen you since my California days! Wuttup? Lucky: Nuttin much, you? Io: I'd have to kill you if I told you, sorry Lucky: (chuckles)Tell me. Io: Can't. Boss'd have my skin. Lucky: Remember back in Cali? Io: How could I forget? Lucky: Remember how you trusted me? Io: (playfully) Shut the fuc'k up, Lucky Lucky:(stubbornly) What are you up to? Io: Fuc'k you. I just joined a new group. Mafia down here, did you know that? Lucky: Do I look stupid, Trent? I thought you were a mercinary? You've got a real employer now? Io: Mmm. How's TBA? Lucky: Don't change the subject, Cage. Io: Listen, man. I got picked up for once? Okay? I might be able to scrape together enough bling to live now. Okay? Lucky: (sounding hurt) I just wanted to know what you were up to. Io: Sorry Lucky. I can't tell you much. I hooked up with some new guys, though. Big guys. Lucky: Hmmph. How's Jenny? Io: (shortly) Dead. (checks watch)Shit, gotta go. See you around. Lucky: See you.
Leon: Who are you talking to, Cage? Io: My old friend, Lucky. *Leon gives Lucky a look over.* Leon: Hmmm... Lucky, tell me, how'd you like to earn a salary of 10K and upwards? OOC: This is assuming that Lucky is in the same area we are in... if you read my post, that is.
OOC: of course i am .... BOT: Lucky: What are your "specialties" needed? Leon: What do you have in mind? Lucky: Well, seeing how im well...lucky (winks)...i think that i could be used for scaming and other similar instances Leon: Hmmm.... Lucky: well?
Leon: Fine. You'll be Io's back up. Here. *Hands Lucky sunglasses/headset and wrist pad, briefs him on the uses.* Right people, let's move out. *Io and Lucky split off from Leon and Adam, heading for the building next to the S.W.A.R.M. building, which happens to be a weapons manufacturing factory...*
OCC: I'm backing up to when Leon was giving out gear (As they get together gear) Io: Great. When's my first paycheck? Leon: I'll tell you that once we've pulled this off. Io: That is, if I survive Leon: Wouldn't have hired you if I didn't think you were up for it, son. Io:(Chuckles)Know why I killed my last boss? Leon: No clue Io: He didn't pay me enough Leon: Point well taken.
Adam: I dont trust him that much bo' errr Leon Leon: hes a good merc, but i dont trust him that much either... If you see any thing fishy you tell me aight'? Adam: sure boss... err Leon*mutters to himself "Gotta remember..."* Adam: ok so how we getting in?
Io: So, what are we doing? Lucky: To tell you the truth, I have no idea. Io: Hmm, let's go back and ask them. Lucky: Sounds good. (They head back to ask)
Leon: You boys don't know what to do, huh? Everyone else: No. Leon: Adam, stick with me. We're going through the 'Underground.' Io, you and Lucky haul yourselves up onto the weapons manufacturing factory, and set up a sniper post. Don't worry 'bout weapons, they'll have plenty weapons in the factory. Just try to be subtle, okay? Adam: Just wonderin', bo- Leon, what's the Underground. Leon: The Underground is an illicit hideout for all kinds of scum. Stick close to me, and don't fall for whatever the prostitutes say... even the pretty ones. We can navigate close enough to S.W.A.R.M. to bypass any sensors that the crack squad from Shadow has placed... hopefully.
Io: Get it, boss. Er, I mean Leon. Lucky: So, do we open fire on anyone who comes out? Leon: That's the general idea, yes. Adam: Do you have silencers? Io: Yeah. Lucky: What's our signal to come into the factory? Leon: You'll see. Io: (Heading away) Come on Lucky, lets get a front row spot.
Leon: Adam, c'mon. *Leon opens up a manhole and climbs down.* Adam: Uh... Leon? You realize that's to go down to the sewers, right? Leon: Yes. Adam: So... Ah! *Leon pops out, grabs Adam's hand and pulls him in.* Leon: Follow me. *Leon and Adam head away. Low music can be heard.* Adam: Sounds like a carnival. *Leon and Adam turn a corner. Facing them seems to be a huge village made of junk material. Prostitutes can be seen, and gangsters too. Some are playing craps, whereas others are playing strip poker, poker, or blackjack.* Leon: Follow me, and don't listen to the prostitutes... Adam? Adam: Hey boss! Can she come with us?
Io: Come on Lucky, up here (Climbs up narrow steel ladder to rooftop. Junk has collected on the tar surface, whirring machines visible.) Lucky: Oof - here, grab this bag of suplies Io: (grabs bag) What is it? Lucky: Guns. Io: I've got my gun (fondly pats sniper rifle) Lucky: Alright...(Looks around) Lets get over there. We can see all the exits into the weapons factory. Io: Yeah, alright. Lucky: So, aim to disable, not to kill? Io: Yeah. Yeah, sounds good. (They crouch down and begin loading their sniper rifles, setting up scopes and infared goggles, so on)
Adam: hey i gotta come down here after this Leon: you can do hookers all u want when you aint on the job... But tay away from Sally... Shes mine Adam: ok... so... where to now Leon: just follow me, and get your eyes off her tits , ya know they aint real Adam: real enough for me
