Just doing her part... [OPEN]

Nov 07, 2011 23:46

Who: Commander Jane Shepard and YOU.
What: Shepard goes out to for an odd job and is confused by the outcome.
Where: Starts in the middle of Zone 6 and then she's somewhere between there and the warehouse in Zone 3 at your leisure.
When: Sometime Monday evening.
Warnings/Notes: Brief mention of a gang-shootout and then weird niceness. Anyone is welcome to run into her at any point when she's on her way home/back to the client that requested the job being done.

She tosses the wrapper of her candy bar in the trash and changes into her suit. Shepard has been picking up odd jobs around the city to earn credits and she’s heading down into one of the lower zones to scope out the numbers of a couple of the gangs down there.

It’s easy an trip, even on foot, but as soon as she crosses from zone 5 into zone 6 her hand drifts to her weapons and keeps it close in case she needs to draw it in a hurry-she’s not taking any chances. The trip is uneventful until she hears gunfire and she draws her assault rifle without the slightest bit of hesitation. The weight of the M-76 Revenant in her hands is comforting. It hasn’t failed her yet and she checks the clip before she rounds the corner.

Two sets of people and some smaller mechs are having it out, each emblazoned with one of the two gang signs she’d been shown. The first person to catch sight of her stops shooting, nods in her direction and slinks off down an alley. Shepard frowns, pausing at the entrance long enough to be sure that he’s actually disappeared before she crouches behind a wall and assesses the situation, counting who she can see.

Hoisting herself over the wall she heads closer and suddenly, everything stops. No one is shooting; several of the rival gang members even shake hands and laugh together. None of which makes any sense for people who had just been out for each other’s blood.

“What the hell is going on?” she demands of a nearby guy, who only shrugs as everyone disperses and leaves a confused Shepard standing in the middle of what had been a shoot out. She just shakes her head, at least she managed to get the information she came for and she takes a moment to type it into her omni-tool before she heads for home.
