Vasedir was not programmed to know fear. He simply waited till the reploids got in enough to see him and he grinned, pointing his buster at them. "You cannot kill a ghost." Vasedir jumped high as he could, not very high yet considering his current functions, and faded to the top of the building. Vasedir knelt at the center of the roof and waited. Fading in and out was not easy when he had to do it this much. Vasedir turned on the commlink again. "Like I said sir, ghosts are immortal. I know you hate reploids and i'm sure my employer would love to see you in person because of it." Vasedir grinned again as he shut off the commlink. Inner betrayal was the best kind.

As Jason rounded the building, he immediately opened fire. Too bad for him his prey had vanished, and instead of shooting the 'bad guy,' he shot several of his allies. He immediately began yelling. "What is WRONG with you scarp metal?! You let him get away!" One of the reploids, quite offended by Jason's action, blurted back with "Why'd you shoot at us?! There was no one here when we got here!" Jason stormed over and grabbed the reploid who responded by the neck. For a human, he was surprisingly strong, lifting up his comrade with ease. He stared into his eyes, absolutely furious with him. "You will NOT talk about to your Superior Officer! Is that understood soldier?!" He threw him on the ground and shouldered his Speed Chain. At that moment could be heard V001's announcement. "Like I said sir, ghosts are immortal. I know you hate reploids and I'm sure my employer would love to see you in person because of it." "Surround the building!" He yelled. This reploid was getting on his nerves, and he was determined to find him and destroy him with his own hands. "Don't let him escape! If I see any of you screw up, I'll use you for target practice!" Several reploids scurried off with injuries, but out of the 10 of them, they covered the building, keeping an eye out for any and everyone. They were both scared and annoyed from Jason and the intruder, ready to shoot either of them. Meanwhile, as Vein watched from a distance, he noticed something on the roof. He looked very carefully to figure out what it was.......Was it a reploid? He couldn't tell from most of the humans panic as the last announcement spooked them all the more. They all started forming behind him, as if Vein was some sort of massive wall. He held out his hand and asked for a Speed Chain, which several humans were willing to give him. Taking one, Vein carefully aimed at the object, hoping to shoot it down. Since he was a reploid built for fighting, his aim was fairly good. He fired a round off (6 shots, 1 power), hoping that at least one of them would hit the object.

Vasedir heard the round go off but was too slow to activate fade. Even if he did where would he go? Only one shot got him but it hurt. The shot pierced his shoulder. Vasedir grimaced and held his shoulder, it may have been weak but it had hurt. Vasedir frowned and stood up, staring at Vein. He turned on the commlink in anger. "You cannot kill a ghost Vein, my target specifications indicate what you are. Why would reploids serve under a lowly human that does not even like them? Are we programmed slaves or are we free spirits?" Vasedir pointed his buster at Vein, not shooting it off but aligning it. Vasedir kept the link on. "I am not a maverick but a bounty hunter summoned bya certain 'Junoir' you might know. Should you offer me a bigger pay I might be tempted to help you." Vasedir didn't expect negotiations and wanted none. He would eliminate the humans last and the reploids first with the exception of Jason.

Vein smirked, satisfied that his shot hit its mark. He used his own Com-link to communicate with Model V001, the same one he used to rally the soldiers to the tent everyday. "Junior, you say? Well glad to know that hes still out there. If you're not a Maverick, why don't you come on down and we'll talk it over?" Vein knew that the Hunter wasn't going to comply with that. He had dealt with types like that before.
Hacovich 'Junior' had eluded them for weeks, and they were unsure if he was still alive or not. The biggest weapons dealer in all of Lucrain had caused trouble with the Neo Arcadian Army, equipping lowly Mavericks with State-of-the-art weaponry. If they captured this guy, it would be their first link to finding Hacovich and taking him out.
Vein knew what he needed to do and hoped that Model V001 would bite his bait. "I serve both humans and reploids, V001. I do what I want because I've mad ethat decision for myself. You could do the same as well."
Knowing full well what Vein was doing, Jason pulled out both of his daggers and began scaling the wall. It was quite impressive that he was piercing through the building: something no ordinary human should be able to do. Jason mainly used his right arm to scale the building.

Vasedir snorted and turned away from Vein, he was not a fool in any way. his audio receptors already had picked up Jason's working. Vasedir went to the back wall where Jason was and pointed his buster down. "My mission is to eliminate all targets. Should I take thememories of my reploid targets that is but a bonus. Back off or be eliminated."

OOC: Time to take advantage of some unknown details _____________________________________________________________________________________ Jason looked up to find a buster pointed at his face, a sight he would of rather not seen. A couple of reploids who were watching Jason scale the building pointed their guns at the enemy, ready to fire as soon as they got the chance. Jason, who was about halfway up the 3 story building, hung by his daggers and smirked. "Well well, Tin Can, nothing gets by you. Too bad this did!" Jason, who was right over a 2nd story window, kicked through it, landing inside the building on his back without his daggers. As soon as Jason was out of sight, the 4 reploids who were watching immediately opened fire on V001, each firing off a round.

Vasedir's eyes widened as Jason went out of sight. He pulled backwards and was narrowly missed by the rounds. Vasedir stayed in his backwards position for a second before standing upright and going to the only exit onto the roof. "Possibility of escape, slim to none." Vasedir pointed his buster at the door and deployed the dagger to be ready. His face remained in a frown as he backed up enough so that the dorr wouldn't hit him if it was busted open.

Jason's back slammed onto the 2nd story floor, successfully dodging V001's attack. He quickly got up and dusted himself off, pulling out a Standard Buster from inside his jacket. It was a hand-held buster, used only in emergencies, which was what Jason was now in. He didn't have his weapons, and he had left the Speed Chain he previously had on the ground. If he was going to get the upper hand on his opponent, he had to sneak up on him. Jason couldn't go through the roof door: that was too obvious. If he hoped to surprise his opponent, he would need to find another way onto the roof. Still devising a plan, Jason ran up onto the 3rd floor, looking for anything he could use to get onto the roof. The building was previously used for storage, containing boat supplies and several parts. Being on the 3rd floor, he found alot of old, unused equipment that was long forgotten ever since Lucrain was invaded by Mavericks. To his luck, he found a small harpoon, which was only about 2 feet long in the middle of the room. "Perfect." With a clear shot to a closed window, which happened to be right above the window he entered from, Jason ran with all of his might at the window, breaking through the ancient glass. As soon as he broke through, he stabbed the harpoon into the ledge with his right hand right above the window, using it to slingshot himself onto the roof. With his buster in his left hand, Jason immediately fired 2 shots from his gun, aimed at the first thing he thought was an enemy. "You're mine!"

Vasedir was in shock, he had not considered this possibility. Struck by both bullets Vasedir knelt, keeping his buster in his hand. "So, this is how you plan to end my life? You who can be so much more, who can destroy more mavericks just by allowing me to give you information." Vasedir was not sure if he was telling truth or lie, but he knew he needed time ot recover. "Let me live and I shall tell, and show, you everything."

Jason smirked, as both of his shots hit their mark. He started walking over to the reploid, buster still pointed at him. "Well, reploid, you're willing to betray your employer? Just like that? C'mon, I know you're made of tougher stuff than that!" He was tempted to kick the reploid, but kept himself from doing so.
Jason began to circle his catch, toying with his prey like a cat with a mouse. He began to talk again, giving his opponent time to recover. "Information on more Mavericks? I doubt you know anything about their whereabouts. You were hired, remember bolts for brains? There's no saying where you could of come from." He stopped circling V001, now in front of him with his back facing the exit. "And besides, I'd much rather play with you first before I retire you. Now get up." ---------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, Vein wasn't just sitting around doing nothing: he was planning his own tactics for capturing the reploid. He rallied about 10 of the human soldiers together, deciding that the best tactic was to take him by sheer numbers. He walked over to the reploids surrounding the building, and ordered them to lead the assault to the roof. They entered the building, approaching the stairs on the first floor.
They would need to hurry to catch up with Jason, who was more than likely on the roof by now. ____________________________________________________________________________
OOC: I'll make this a little more interesting and sort of give your character a countdown. For every post I post after this, the group is going to advance one floor, so you pretty much have 3 more posts before you're pretty badly outnumbered.
Can you make it out alive? well find out pretty soon.

Vasedir shakely stood up and inserted his memory recoder into a jack at the back of his helmet and downloaded all memories recorded in it to his memory banks. "That was my memory recordation device, I stored all irrelevant memories, like that of the maverick's new base, inside till now. Now all of it is in my core, kill me and you will not be able to gain it without an access code only my creator knows." Vasedir smirked as he moved to the opposite edge of the roof, the one he had not been on before. Vasedir put his buster to his head. "I will not be made a slave to any d**n human. Junior is merely a source of pay for me. If I deploy my dagger now it will kill me." Vasedir did not know fear, and he did not care if he died. Someone would recommission his body sometime out of curiosity.

Jason frowned. He was unsatisfied with this reploid's response.
He had expected 1 of either 2 responses from V001: rise to his feet and be defeated by his hands, or beg for his life and be destroyed. He put his buster down, still keeping it in his left hand just in case V001 decided to do any rash.
"What? Thats it? No fight? No begging? Just like that, you're willing to sacrifice yourself? Fine."
He put his buster back into his jacket pocket, approaching V001 with no intention of fighting him. He wanted to fight this scum bag, but if he wasn't going to fight, he had to take the rational solution. V001 appeared to know some information about the Mavericks in the area, and Jason was willing to bargain with him. "You know you're beat, so I trust you won't do anything rash. In that case, let's talk."
Jason sat on top of an AC unit, crossing his legs as if he were at a negotiation table. "To start, I'd like to know how much he paid to hire you. It couldn't of been much, but by your performance, I'd say about 1,000z." Jason was trying to tick off the reploid, still eager to battle him for any reason. "How much would it cost us for you to tell us what you know about Junior and the Mavericks?" ------------------------------------------------------------
Jason's backup had no idea what was going on, so they continued to proceed to the roof as fast as the could, now on the 2nd floor. A couple of reploids left the party to retrieve Jason's lost weapons. Jason would be aggravated if he found out his weapons were retrieved by reploids, which was exactly what they wanted to do. While Jason hated the reploids, Vein treated them like family, giving them breaks, extra privileges, and new weapons when he could. If Jason tried to give the reploids a hard time, Vein would stand up for them and they would go away satisfied that they ticked off their leader without consequence. ______________________________________________________________________________
OOC: We may be having a new member join our group, if you don't mind. It would be a Neo Arcadian, so you'd have one more opponent, depending on what you do with the negotiations.

Vasedir did not move from his position at the edge, keeping the barrel of his buster aligned with his head. "I was to be payed 2000 zenny for this assignment. I did not anticipate so many foes. My pay will start at one hundred zenny above my beginning price and go up from there." Vasedir kept running through the different memories of the underground lab and others. He was an excellent bargainer.

Noon appeared at the harbor realizing how late he was for the job. He approached the building slowly not knowing if guards would try to apprehend him or not.

OOC: Ah shoot. I thought I was giving you 3,000z for this mission, not 2,000z...oh well.
I'm not very good at bargaining, so forgive me if I misunderstand what price you're going for. _______________________________________________________________________________________
"...So you want 2,100z just to start?" Jason paused for a moment, cringing at the thought of paying off a reploid for more money than he'd like. He was hoping the price wouldn't rise too much, but so long as he got the information, thats all that mattered.
"...Alright then. I'll only agree to pay you if I think the information is worth that much. If I think you're not giving enough information for the price you want, then we will not hesitate to exterminate you and find the Mavericks ourselves." He smirked a little, hoping to use some psychology against V001. "It wouldn't take us long to find the rest of the Mavericks anyway. At the rate we're going, I predict this whole place will be liberated in less than a month."
He put his hands together, looking into the reploid's eyes. His smirk had left his face. "Now where's Hacovich hiding?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Junior was worried. 'Valued customers' in the area have been keeping a watch on Model V001, and the situation he was in didn't look good. All his Intel could give him was that he was somewhere on the roof of an old storage building by the harbor with no means of escape. It was a good thing his other hunter, Noon had come in.
Originally, Junior hired 2 Bounty Hunters, just in case one of them couldn't pull it off. He was going to give the job to whoever showed up in Lucrain first, and it so happened to be V001. Now that he was in trouble, Junior sent in Noon for backup to help the trapped reploid. Of course, with the need for 2 reploids, V001's pay would be cut in half to 1,000z.
"If they don't come through, then I'll have ta do it myself..." ____________________________________________________________________
OOC: I know I had told you 2,000z before, Noon, but I thought the pay was 3,000 instead of 2,000. I do intend for Vasedir to get more than that, because this mission definitely deserves more than 2,000z.
Now there are 3 of us: post order is important. Let it be Me, Vasedir, then Noon. Someone else might come in as well (oh boy), so we'll work out the order again when he posts.
