Log

At the same time, RSX was working with community leaders, a Fox Girl and a Herm Collie, about what was happening and how to best go about keeping their community active and alive. RSX officials weren't too keen on losing a stable area because Zypher wanted thier shiny things.

In the woods themselves, a small group of Promethians keep and eye, wondering exactly what is going on, but not willing to let themselves be seen just yet. Jumping into a small war between Zypher and RSX would not be wise.

Miranai herself stands with the Prommies, though quite a distance away. Her colors, glowing, and size would be a dead give away to their location, and she didn't want that.

Syn was standing about with the Zephyr agents, her hands gently holding onto the binoculars that had been offered too her, her claws being surprisingly gentle as she looked out over the village. The bat-girl wasn't one hundred percent sure what they were really after out here, but she did know that whatever it was the company had wanted, the group wanted it badly. So Syn, thinking very little as she usually did, awaited to see the events before her roll out and hopefully prepared for whatever may come.

Siyu tries to work a knot out from his shoulder, a cape of forest camo, more appropriate in color and thermal tempreture of the forested area then his normal desert camo. The short, 3 foot 10 kangaroo rat keeps the hood up, and just watches. Used to sitting for long periods of time and waiting, he's not bored, just trying to keep all of his lithe body limber for when he has to run. Expecting to have to break into a sprint at a moments notice. Occasionally digging out a monocular, checking the suns posistion so that he doesn't flash a glare, spotting around the cabins, giving a look and then putting it away again.

Standing over by the Prommies is of course Angus, but he's never really seen eye to eye with his comrads there. He was tapping his foot impatiently, wondering what Zephyr and RSX were up to this time. "So Mira...think they will be foolish enough to attack?" He asks, taking a step away from the other prommies as he checks his equipment.

Miora stood next to Mira, although she was smaller she didn't want to be a giveaway, wearing her usual glasses, satchel and scarf along with a simply shirt and knee length skirt. Her paws clenching to the handle of her first aid kit, glancing to Mira every now and again. Although at Angus's voice she glances back. her tail giving a little wag at another familiar face. Quickly looking to Mira in wait. Hoping she wasn't going to get in the way.

Syn was standing about with the Zephyr agents, her hands gently holding onto the binoculars that had been offered too her, her claws being surprisingly gentle as she looked out over the village. The bat-girl wasn't one hundred percent sure what they were really after out here, but she did know that whatever it was the company had wanted, the group wanted it badly. So Syn, thinking very little as she usually did, awaited to see the events before her roll out and hopefully prepared for whatever may come.

Dio had heard a few rumors about the previous expedition over at the village, but not the full report. The full word wasn't available to him, but what he heard certainly wasn't good, especially for PR. Taking a pair of binoculars for himself, he peers into the village and soon tosses it upon the floor with a small crash. "I refuse to let this situation dissolve into barbaric shooting," the semi-formal wearing feline declares. Picking his shotgun off the floor, he straps it to his back and gives his suit a good tuck. "Even if we don't manage to get what's in there, I shall partake in a more diplomatic solution."

Dio is given an interesting look from the senior Z Agent, "Look, our bosses say they want what they have, and if we have to shoot up a few mutants to get it, so what? Maybe get some interesting times with them too." A few of the others rub their hands together, a few others their cocks. "Keep your 'morals' to yourself Agent, and we can all come back with quite the profit." Says the Mama Borno. "Now, here is the plan, we will sweep in, try to offer then some more crap for their server. Hopefully the RSXers haven't put in their heads just how valuable and useful it is."

Meanwhile, the RSX agents continue to work inside the small almost village, pointing to verious things and locations. Seems they are busy trying to think up a plan.

Chance, the lead for the Prommies looks over to Miora, Angus, and Mira, "Lets just stay low for now, we should be ready to help our brothers and sisters, I doubt either Z or RSX has their best interests in mind, but, you never know. Be ready to spread the word, and if it comes to fighting, ready to fight." Says the Herm Latex Fox.

Siyu lifts up the monacular again, "Movment from the Zephy...it appears as if they're going to head in soon..." he reports. "For now it looks like RSX is building up a response. Depending on what RSX wnats to do, Zephy will be exposed on the way up to the village." he offers a brief summation, lowering the monocular again. His ears give a little flat as he pulls the hood back up.

Angus perks up his ears as he turns to the Fox. "It's Zeyphr and RSX going at it again, of course they are going to fight." He mutters, then he catches Siyu's warning and he draws his revolver. "Well, looks like its show time." Smiling he gives Miora a wave, before he steps forward a little and finishes preparing.

"Morals?" A low growl begins to bellow within the lion's large chest as a hand reaches back to once more unstrap the shotgun on his back. The grip upon its handle grew in intensity with a power that could nearly turn coal into pure diamond. "Because shooting up the place worked so well last time, did it? Perhaps the rank of senior agent means senior in the mind," he growls, voice becoming more intimidating as he approaches the agent. "Bloodthirsty isn't how Zephyr should be running things. Profit, sure. Greed, sure. But at the expense of an innocent village? You're not fit for your position or business. A TRUE businessman would see the value of PR and happy customers."

After a deep breath, the lion takes a short moment to cool down and lowers the grip on his shotgun. "Trading is fine as well, but forcing it is not. If trading fails, we should instead opt for researching what's within together for the benefit of out society."

Syn was still scanning over the village when she heard the small arguement going on behind her. The bat seemed to be...a touch displeased with the actions going on as her steps made it very clear. her claws rasped over the ground for but a few moments until her free hand moved to gently grasp the lion by his shoulder, moving to turn him around towards her as she simply spoke," Vell vhen you ladies are done vighting, vere is an entire village to deal vith. Now come on, ve vill try to be peacevul vor as long ve are able. There ist no zense in useful vighting." the bat rasped on, her sceptre still on her back as she turned towards the village, actually daring to be the first one of the group to take a step forward.

Miranai looks to Siyu, then to Chace, "If.. if there is fighting I'll be ready." she says squarming slightly from her heat and rut, but has herself under control. Chace looks to Angus and over to Siyu next, "Just keep observing for now.. and.. wait, what is happening now, Siyu, keep eyes on them, and do we have anyone or anything able to listen?" Shi asks.

With a plan in mind some of the Zypher agents move in, a few stopping at Dio, "The bosses say take it, by any means needed, and these aren't exactly our 'customers'. If we can work out something that is in our advantage, we might take them for all they have, but for now, they have only one thing we want, and we are going to take it." Says the Momma Bronto, before heading down.

The RSX personal watch as Z's walk up toward them, "Hello there, partners, just trying to work out some ideas with our friends here. Seems they have told you a few times they aren't interested in trading with your for their server, so why are you back?" they ask.

Siyu is new here in the Prom camp so he won't make any sort of first move, he'll just report what he sees, "They look like they're all armed, we were supposed to try and offer a solution, but I don't think there's any sort of solution to be had when everyone is packed with firepower." he turns back, "Should we wait and just prepare a report of what happened?" He takes a breath and shakes his head, "My ears are good but not that good..." he'll take out a stilt tripod and set up the monocular, setting it so that it's pointed towards the meeting of RSX and Zeph. Getting ready to try and watch, "If anyone can lip read, you can use my scope, but otherwise I don't have a clue"

Miora watches allt he action going on, feeling her form shiver a bit in nervousness but stading firm next to Mira, looking up to her and nodding as she was ready too. The medic husky not one for actual fighting, but having quite a few ways to heal and support her allies that were there. She wasn't very good at lip reading, but if no one else could she could give it a shot, she was usually a decently good study. Her ears pinning back a bit worriedly as she waited for anyone else to step up for the task first.

Regretfully, Dio lets out a heavy sigh and puts the shotgun upon his back again. There was no use in in-fighting, and perhaps a trade or deal could be struck. "Very well," he replies with a sarcastic tone. "We'll see."

The lion strolls up towards the village with the others, waving at the RSX members and dipping into a short bow. "Good day," he says as he rises. "Are you sure they don't want anything for it? Anything at all?" The lion rubs his chin and thinks for a moment. "Would you perhaps allow one or two of us to inspect this server? It could even be under gun point if you desire to make things safe."

Syn found herself coming to merely stand within a small bunch of Zephyr agents, her hands crossing beneath her chest as she allowed herself to just slip in with the others. When Dio decided to be a nar-do-weller and try to strike a bargain with the people, the Zephyr bat moved to approach them, her eyes sweeping about the RSX employees that had been gathering before them," Und ve could even offer you each a blow avterwards." she mocked, her eyes cutting over to Dio as she nearly glared at the man, her gaze almost able to burn a hole straight through him.

Siyu begins to muse a little bit, "So...this village has a data server...they're under the protection of RSX...." he'll think aloud, "Zephyer wants it cause of the tech involved, they tried to strongarm the village, cause it's what they do. RSX doesn't want Zephyr to destablize...does the village want to actually keep the technology? It seems as if it's like RSX and Zephyr don't want to lose face in this..." he keeps thinking. "If the village is willing to trade the server...maybe the solution is a neutral 3rd party. If the village trades the server to someone else. RSX can say they defended Zephyr off their turf. If we promise to trade the server to Zephry, they get what they want, and they'll just leave. So maybe. Everyone gets what they want, and goes home..." he realizes he spoke the whole plan outloud, and blushes a bit, turnining back to the others, "Is that right?"

Angus frowns, but holsters his revolver. "We will play it your way for now, but as soon as I see someone starting to wave a gun around I'm intervening." He gives the Fox a glare, before he walks up to the monocle and takes a look. He couldn't really read lips, he just wanted to see!

The lead Z agent watches as Dio and Syn try to open negotionations, but the 'mayor' of the place, the herm collie, steps forward. "RSX has confirmed what we thought all along, that without our server, we'd be just as our scouts who leave the protection of the outermost layer of the 'bubble' are. Weakened, hungry, and with out the needed resource this... Mako you call it, to keep our other machines running. For the good of our community, the computer is not for trade." The RSXers nod along with hir but the lead Z agent looks less then happy, "Look, we can trade you other machines, maybe even move you into the city with us. Have you thought of joining our company?" The RSX agents look again to the mayor and hir aid.

Meanwhile in the prommy camp, Chace watches with the monocular stand, "Miora, you are a Z agent, what do you know about their tactics? And Brother Angus, you spend a lot of time with Z in their tower, what do you know?" shi asks. Mira ponders for a bit, "Maybe we should go talk, and see what we can do or offer?" She nuzzles into Miora tightly, "What do you think Siyu, Angus?"

Miora shakes her head. "I will admit I heal some of their troops and play medic from time to time. But I have never really done any missions for them outside healing some troops at their base. I know nothing of their tactics. I am more a nuetral party." she states calmly. A bit worried at what may happen here. her tail tucking at being useless for the moment. "Sorry, but as far as tactics and how they operate in a fight I know nothing.

Siyu earflats, "I really don't want to go down there. It's not our fight, I don't know if we can do anything to help, don't even know if they want to give it up. Frankly I don't think they'll care about shooting outsiders if they're shooting each other..." he looks back at the Fox in charge, "Do you know anything about their server? Is it just somthing they keep or is it important to them?"

Dio looked down at Syn with a curious expression, eyebrow rising in a clear sign of his confusion. "I'm curious about your motivations, ma'am," he says, letting out a small cough to clear his throat. "Personally, I'd rather have a good relationship with the village and allow them to keep the server while we get some researchers to look over it. If you don't agree, then perhaps we should discuss the issue now before it's too late."

Listening to the village leader speak, the lion seems quite surprised at just how dependent they are on the server. There's no way they could take it now, at least from a moral standpoint. "I see. I thought the bubble here was simply a lucky find. We shouldn't move it. So how about this!" The lion claps his hands together once and puts on a smile before negotiating. "Your village seems quite happy here and I doubt you'd like to move into the city. Instead, perhaps you could give us rights to look over the server and derive research from it while under observation? I think this is quite fair."

Angus smirks. "They are pushy, and they don't enough a Prommie blowing up their stuff. I only trust a few Z agents, and there is a reason for it....But then again, RSX don't really like me either...for reasons." Crossing his arms he eyes both parties, tapping his foot upon the ground impatiently as he waits to see what happens.

Syn scoffed as Dio seemed oh so hunky doory about making sure that everyone here was going to be happy and healthy. Syn didn't seem to think so as much, and the irritation in her eyes probably said so, so without much else for her to do, the bat found herself merely leaning back yet again, allowing the Lion and the RSX to talk it out, for as long as that might have lasted.

The Mayor thinks about Dio's request, "Well... letting you look at it might not be a bad idea." The RSXers seems a bit shocked about this, but can't really say anything other then, "Are you sure that is a good idea?" The Mayor nods, "Sure, we let you look at it, didn't we? And you seemed to only be concerned about keeping us up and going, this Lion seems to share that." The Momma Bronto can only smile, "Of course, so, who should go... Dio.. Syn, I think you two should go take a look." The Aid waits for the two before showing them to the cabin that has the server in it.

Meanwhile Chace listens to everyone, "It might not be our fight, sister, but we need to be on the look out for brothers and sisters who need our help and haven't heard our word yet." With the moment going on, shi makes a wake, "Come on, Miora, Brother Angus, Sister Siyu, come along, Sister Miranai, stay here and watch our backs." Mira nods, giving Miora a few more nuzzles and hugs.

Siyu nods a bit, "Brother..." the short rodent mummers, but he'll stand slowly, letting the camo cape drape over him, picking up his bag, and taking down the monocular and putting it away, getting ready to head down.

Miora looks a bit worried about going without Mira but nuzzles and hugs back to her before following Chace out. Her tail tucked and ears pulled back, staying near Angus as she felt nervous. Her form shivering a bit and her hands clenching tighter on her medkit. "Alright, lead the way." she says with a slight shake to her voice.

Angus perks his ears up and turns to Chace. "Alright then, time to get to work." He chuckles as he walks up next to Siyu and pats them on the shoulder, efore he starts heading down.

"That's correct," Dio confirms with a solid nod. "This village has the right to live here and be happy, and I'll do what I can to preserve it. Perhaps everyone can benefit from what data we can find off that server." Giving a thumbs-up to the bronto, he follows along with the aid and straightens out his suit again in a fashion-conscious manner. "I think we got off on the wrong foot ma'am," he speaks to Syn after becoming satisfied with his 'grooming'. "Please accept my apologies."

Siyu takes a breath and he'll adjust to make sure the heavy knife is still there at the samll of his back, "Right then, let's go..." he mummers, his bag packed and he'll slide inline with the other prommies

With some of their members allowed access, the Momma Bronto gives Dio and Syn a few more instructions... that is til shi reconciters with Syn, "Actually, you stay back, John, you go with Dio." Then whispered to them both, 'I don't care how you do it, but get that server out of there then. Studying it won't mean shit, it is the same thing we have back at base, just making more mako then usual. Get it, and lets go.' shi says before giving a smile to the Mayor, "Don't worry, we will make sure nothing happens." The RSX personal look less then convinced, "Remember our offer though," says their lead, a human with a fox tail and ears, "In exchange for some crops and the right to have recruitment drives here, we will deliver munitions and hardware to help with rebuilds." The mayor looks like shi is rather happy with RSX's offer, even more so because it didn't involve their server too.

Chace is the first on scene, with everyone else shortly behind, "Hi there, now, we couldn't help but hear what was going on, and we'd like to have the chance to have our Word heard as well." THe leads for both Z and RSX look a bit less happy.

Angus gives Miora a reassuring smile as he walks up to the rest of the group, but under the surface he was sweating a little. He wasn't comfortable around any RSX or Zeyphr troops after what happened last time he was in Oregon, so he was making sure to hang back just in case they got a little tense...

Dio scoffs at the whispered instructions with a short and sharp laugh coming from the side of his leonine muzzle. However, he keeps his comments to himself and instead grows a small grin. "Ah! The Prometheans. And not only that, but a few familiar faces. Good day to you," he greets, taking a deep bow in his typical fashion. "I'd love to chat, but I have an appointment I'm afraid." After a short wave, Dio heads over to the aid's location where the server is located. "Thank you for bringing us here. Mind if we head in?"

Miora stayed near Angus, seeming a bit worried but overall not much changing, she glanced to the two groups, not sure what to expect form any of them. A small part of her wanting to disappear, but she did her best ot stand her ground for the time being and not faulter too much.

The aid brings Dio and John into the server room, then waits outside for them to be finished. John immediately gets to looking it over, the Alley Cat trying to figure out how to disconnect it from the generator without it being obvious, "Maybe we could take both Dio, what do you think?" He asks.

Chace looks to the Momma Bronto and the human-fox. "So, what can we do for you, Mayor, we'd like to chat about our own little community, New Dawn, and the progress we are making there, Brothers Siyu, Angus, care to help me out?" Shi says smiling. The Fox eared and tailed human shakes his head, "Thank you, but I'm going to go make sure that that.. Dio and.. John aren't..." but the Momma Bronto stops him, "Now now, let me mean do their work won't you?" Looking over to the Prommies, "Humm... that.. Coyote..." Shi says, but then smiles, "Zypher would be happy to hear the word of the promethians, maybe we should get the whole town out here to listen?" Then looking to Miora, "You, why aren't you over here helping us? Get back in there and help Agent Dio, Agent Miora." Shi says, rather commandingly.

Siyu ohs a small bit, and he'll unflip his hood to show his soft face, "Well...we're working on ressurecting the alternate energy projects. Right now we're starting to really get the lights back on, so to speak, using a number of potential alternate, renewable sources..." he offers a little of what he knows, still new there, but not quite sure what to say. His voice soft, and small, to fit his stature.

Miora looks to Chace then to the other leader giving her a command she figured perhaps she could be more use on the inside than here, silently moving past ot catch up with Dio. Her tail tucked and ears folded back as she rushes after Dio, catching up barely and giving a small nod. "Hey Dio." she timidly says, glancing back at the others, she was a nuetral party overall. Not sure what was about to happen here.

Angus glares at the commanding Z officer, frowning as he takes a protective step towards Miora...before she follows the order. His ears perk up when he hears something about a coyote, his eyes shifting about as he shoves his hands into his pockets. "I'm a Biotech Engineer, so I got nothing sadly."

Dio watches the alley cat work and starts to shuffle a bit behind him, unstrapping his shotgun and pointing it as his back. "I have another idea, John. Do you think you have the authority to wipe a village just for greed? You can honestly live with that? Well, I'll tell you what I can live with, and you won't be the first to experience it. Not by a long shot. Move an inch or talk and not even the bubble will save you."

With his other hand, the lion uses his communicator to file a mission report to the person who gave out the mission. "This is Zephyr agent Dio, reporting in with some important information about the server. It appears the village swears to destroy the server if it's moved. Moving this server is near impossible and any attempt can result in catastrophic loss. However, they will allow us to do research on it as long as it stays. Suggest updating mission objectives to reflect that we're keeping the server here."

Waiting for a reply, he doesn't turn back to Miora for the time being, as he couldn't take his eyes off the cat.

Looking back to Dio as he holds out the shotgun, John raises his hands, "Hey now, the boss says get the server, what are you doing?" Then listening to the comm, John growls a bit, "What is wrong with you, don't you want this pay out?" He asks. He looks over to Miora, "Hey! Husky, help me out here, you want to get paid, right?" He says. The communication Dio gets back is hardly one he'd want to hear though.

Outside the mayor thinks abou this, "Sure, we can hold a town meeting to listen to the Promethians." The Momma Bronto looks much happier about that, and the fox tailed human can't help but sigh, "Alright, just hope your men aren't..." the look from the Momma Bronto makes him not finish, not wanting to start conflict just now, and instead sitting down to wait for the meeting to start as canines of all sorts come out of the various cabins, Foxes, wolves, huskies, collies, sheepers. Chace smiling, "Well, we bring the word of pease and living off of what nature has given us. We have been given a gift, sent back to the ways of nature, or closer to them, and we come to help teach control..." Chace looks back to Siyu, thankful for helping convince everyone to let this happen, "Now, Brother Angus, if you'd like to deliver a short speech about the joys of living off of nature?" he asks.

Miora blinks to the man who talked to her, then to Dio trusting him more she shakes her head at him and stays behind Dio. "I trust him more than you... and money isn't too big of a deal to me." she says calmly, following behind Dio carefully, glancing back every now and again to make sure they weren't being followed. Still holding her medkit in hand she followed behind Dio, looking up to him. "Anything I can do to help?"

Siyu gives a faint blush at the look, his cheeks and his ears turn a slight pink shade, but he bows his head, swishing his wide hips with the rest of the group, taking off the cloak and letting it rest on his shoulder, sitting with the others, smiling, and trying to look friendly

Angus blinks, now in the spotlight. "Well um....Living off Nature is actually a lot better for everyone, it keeps the enviornment clean. Not to mention it's a lot easier to live off the land then to kill it with the waste from powerplants....Not to mention that some pollutants that are given off can actually cause your nanites to malfuntion..." He comments, looking around as he tries not to sweat....

"Get down on your knees, John," Dio growls, raising the shotgun to his shoulders to aim directly into the feline's center-mass. "Think about your actions for a second. About what a monster you are, just for a bit of cred." The lion spits on the ground and growls once more at the transmission he received. "Thank you my lady, it means a lot to me that you're on my side. Whatever happens... Just make sure they don't get this server."

"This is Agent Dio reporting in again. I've been told this server is wired to blow and fail if it's moved. RSX doesn't seem to be aware of this, but I'm afraid I was caught and a villager told me as such. He ran away, but made sure to tell me that there are many with the power to destroy the server at any time. It seems they were prepared for this, sir. Time to cut our losses and move on to the next best thing: researching the server. It's this or no server, sir."

Siyu leans back a little bit, and he looks over to the fox, "think they'd be up for any sort of trade, maybe some gear or scrap, just to at least know we have supplies, and can always come to use for stuff. I have a bag full of some things." he tugs on his ear, "Wonder if they brew..."

Coming in late to the party, Arano marches in without his characteristic armaments, wearing just a t-shirt and jeans. While he doesn't look it, he was here on business, but he was told that it wouldn't look good to walk in all heavily armed as it could provoke a scene, besides: he can surely cause plenty of damage with his claws (nevermind that he much preferred the gun, but orders were orders). Walking in, he saw what seemed to him a rather tense situation, he wasn't sure what was going on, he just knew he was sent here to provide backup to Angus and Siyu in case things got messy (NOT make speeches of course). He nods politely to the group, including the familiar lion zephyr agent and steps up next to Siyu (what with Angus occupied) and whispers to her, "So... care to give me a quick rundown on the situation? Things seem... tense..."

Miora nods and goes past him towards the server. Decently good with computers and hoping it involved that more than anything else. Hoping Dio would be ok by himself. She had a small plan but first she needed to start studying the server, as Dio had recommended. Not sure what to expect, just heading down the direction that the server had been told it was located at.

With a replay to Dio, and Miora looking at the computer John doesn't seem too happy, but the shooker is the Momma Bronto clapping at the end of Angus' speech and coming to to check on things, and seeing Dio pointing a weapon at John! Shi points hir heavy beam at the lion, taking a step in as the aid goes to check out the speeches herself, "Ok, what is going on in here, unhook that thing and lets get going while they are distracted listening to the prommies." shi says, and doesn't look like shi will like a 'no'.

Lots of clapping after Angus' speech and Chace comes up to continue, noticing Arano joining them, "That is right, we advocate minimal technology, but with the advances made with the nanites we can easy do the work of ten or twenty men ourselves! Why have a machine do what we could do better?" Shi asks, then, looking over to Siyu, "Why yes Brother, why don't you come over here and talk about some of the things we cn do to help!" shi says, smiling to Angus' speech.

Angus gives Chace a nod, smiling as it seems that he hasn't made a fool of himself. Walking over to Siyu he pats them on the shoulder, muttering something about checking up on Miora to make sure she is okay. Then he walks into the scene that was going on near the server, hand resting on his revolver as he clears his throat and glares at the Momma Bronto. "Hello there, something the matter?"

Using his communicator, Dio begins uploading the logs of the conversation to somewhere special, where the knowledge of books are soon to be kept! "Don't worry," Dio chuckles, moving his aim a few inches subtly to the side to aim at the server. "I got what I wanted." And then, the lion began to laugh. A good hearty laugh that nearly brought a tear to his eye and brings up a communication channel for another report, talking loudly for anyone to hear. "...just wipe them off the face of the planet if need be. We can cover it up later, besides when all the Mako we could get out of that thing, no one will care or notice one small settlement missing... is what they said. I've uploaded this communication to a very secure server where I have someone that would gladly upload it for all to hear," he smiles, no longer bluffing. Now was the time for true blackmail. "Can you imagine what your agents would say if they heard this? That they're working for bloodthirsty savages that would wipe a village? No matter what happens here today, you'll lose. Kill me, and you lose. Take the server, and you lose. And I'd hate to toot my own horn, but my mission history would demonstrate that I'd be quite a loss if I quit the company. Take the best option. Leave the server and research it like the rest of us, or lose."

Miora looks over the server quickly, researching it and trying ot examin it as best she can without moving it, although at the sound of the bronto she eeps and stands infront of the server shaking her head. You'd literally have to go through her in order to even touch the thing as she stood there, her legs shaking but she didn't want these people to get hurt.

Siyu nods his head as he'll walk up to the villager and he'll pull out his large big. Bag looks larger then he is! The short 3 foot 10 kangaroo rat will lay out nanites, vials, scraps, pretty much everything a packrat could collect. He just smiles a bit, and lays them out, "It's not much, but it looks like you don't get near the ammount of scrap and supplies that a full city canprovide, I can trade some simple stuff...I have to ask, do you have a still?" he strokes his chin. Liquor being a very good currancy of apocolaypse.

Siyu he is of course ignorant of anything going on in the server room

Arano doesn't seem to get any response and just shrugs it off, not liking being ignored but doesn't care about the slight to his ego. He just shrugs and follows Angus, and then he sees Dio, and some unknown momma bronto... pointing a heavy beam weapon at... oh hell no. Getting ready for a fight, Arano marches up to the creature, and decides to dust off an old classic, and with a tap of her shoulder, he says, "Excuse me," as she turns he launches a fist right at her jawline, scales making contact with skin and doing... nothing... "I pictured that going VERY differently in my head..."

Listening to Dio, the Momma Bronto was more then pissed, then looking over to Miora as she guards the server, "Some agents you two are, why don't you join Prommies or RSX if you are more concerned about ACTUALLY rebuilding for these worthless..." A tap on the shoulder and a punch to the jaw that is absorbed the the dino's armory hide. Then a sharp look, "John, get up, we're going. But... we'll be back." SHi says stepping back outside, "Sorry folks, but we are getting called back. We will come back with an even better offer, but for now, we will send people down to take a look at your server, research it a bit, like we said, for now, though, back to take a look at home." Shi says smiling wide and walking back toward their transport... leaving Dio and Miora behind, brining Syn with hir though.

Meanwhile, Chace claps at Siyu's demonstration, but the mayor says, "No, we don't have a still.. but.. maybe we can all talk something out." Shi says looking to the RSX agents and the Prommies. Chace smiles a bit wider, as does the fox-ish RSX leader. Chace then goes to check on Angus, "Brother Angus, everything ok there?" shi asks, unkowning of what just happened.

Siyu earflat,s he was looking forward to get drunk, but he'll lay out most of his scraps, "Ya, it's dangerous of course, dealing with ferals and figthing, We try to help them, but most of them are too far gone. Ferals can go back to normal folks like us but it's...it's hard. Very hard...but. I'm getting off track. If anything looked good that you wanted, I can offer it for anything you're willing to trade." seeming more itnerested in gainining a good standing, and at least openining up a Prommy contact here in the village then getting a good deal

Miora sighs a bit, feeling relaxed as the bronto and the other guy leaves, returning to researching the server, looking at what she can and trying to figure out as much as she can without moving the thing an inch. "I dought this town would survive very long if at all if Zephyr moved it... Maybe a few months at most if I had to guess..." she gently poked around the machine and jotting down little notes in a small booklet she got from her satchel./

Angus watches the Bronto as she leaves the room, flashing her his teeth as she walks by him. "Everything is fine Chace. No problems at all." He answers as he takes his hand away from his gun and starts to relax. "Miora, I do believe you are correct. And thanks for your help Dio." He offers Dio a smile, then punches Arano in the arm. "You moron, next time don't be so foolish. Aim for the groin or the gut, don't be dramatic and try and take their jaw. That only owkrs in movies!"

As the bronto leaves the cabin, Dio spits upon the floor and lowers his shotgun, strapping it to his back with a heavy breath. "That was close," he comments, moving to a wall and letting out a relieved sigh. "Please accept my apologies. I put a lady in danger for my own vendetta. But thank you." The lion begins to chuckle and then pushes himself off the wall. "Thank you for helping me out. There's a lot of work that needs to be done and I need to have a good chat with a few people."

Arano frowns a bit at Angus, "I think next time I'll just use my claws," he says as he tries to shake his fist free, "I wasn't expecting her to have an iron jaw, honest!" He then turns and says, "So... I feel like I missed a bunch, somebody want to fill me in? I just saw a friend at gunpoint and reacted... next time I'm bringing my rifle,"
