So which one of you will be setting that off?
They stared at me with a blank expression, no space for sarcasm in her majesty's service,huh. I placed the IED into a hovering trolley and bought it to the colonel.
As soon as we leave you will be setting that off, don't fret you shall have ample time to leave this station before it is decimated.
Our payment ?
He pistol whipped me on my bruised cheek
Your payment are your lives,any funny decisions and I will execute you both.
I had no choice but to accept the disrespect, with their experience, gear and numbers there was virtually no way I could take them all even with Raphael and the key to this station.
With my bleeding cheek I answered- very well sir I shall inform my partner about this and we'll get the IED(Improvised Explosive Device) prepped before your departure.
I walked toward Raphael bent down and whispered- you fucked up big time there is no reward,we barely escape with our lives and will head straight into another station with Persus soldiers this time without the extra firepower.We're fucked in every possible way
Raphael replied- listen we head to next station in a hijaked civilian craft and station hop till this can't be traced back to us and lay low on a low profile system.
Suddenly this guy becomes rational and develops critical thinking,but what are these guys planning, do they intend on going from station to station destroying everything in their path until they run out of IEDs or get killed?
They seem to be too important and well equipped for that. But why tangle my self in intra-galactic affairs when I could simply hijak a civilian craft with a decent load and stay decently comfortable for a while.
Raphael dashed toward the colonel and knelt
before him, I pledge myself to the Kassandrian Empire SIR!!!
Was this a plot or was he well and truly seduced by the greatness of her majesty's empire , mind you I've only know this guy for four months.
Sir I know of your plans, the next station is a major choke point in the Edobo highway system of the Persus republic you plan to destroy this station so you can buy time and prep yourselves to fortify yourselves in the next choke point.You can use our help sir, we were able to single handedly take down twenty troops with rudimentary weaponry, we could be great assets.
The colonel immediately pointed his pistol at Raphael's head- how are you aware of our plans , are you a Persus spy ? No matter I will execute you and carry on with the mission.
Sir if I were a spy and made aware of your plans I would simply have a brigade waiting for you here and would have swiftly eliminated your squad
Then why the fuck do you know our objective
Sir my friend and I have lead meaningless lives as mercenaries and would love nothing more than to be part of something bigger, is that too much to ask?
