My lady, I would happy to be the first volunteer. I am a first class swordsman specializing in quick deadly attacks and most importantly the stealth and speed you asked for. My training as a swordsman comes from being in a surprise attack squad which I lead. I am a ventriloquist capable of making my voice come from many different directions at once to confuse my foes. As a skeleton I'm incredibly light weight and do not have much to slow me down, and I am quite difficult to kill. I can move without making a single sound, and if by the slightest chance it was possible for someone to spot me, they'd likely mistake me for some form of nightmare.
But my lady, I'm a bard! Making jokes is my job! Yohohoho!
I would like to help though. I approve of taking down these murders and you seem rather capable, and I already know I'm capable in the aspect you were asking for. I'm sorry if my manner offends you, I just like to keep things light hearted.

[Take it in stride Samus, it takes all kinds.]
A Bard? I've never met a bard.
The foes we're looking at are likely three in number. At least one is extremely strong, at least one is extremely quick and skilled at bladework, and at least one is a talented marksman. At least one exudes an aura of cold, that leeches energy and interferes with any kind of powers you might have.
What can you do, Mr. Bard? I need exact specifics so I can gather the appropriate combat data.

[She gives Brooke a long, slow blink. It was only fair to be answering his own questions as well, but some of them were...weird.]
I'm Samus, Samus Aran. Where I come from I'm a Galactic Bounty Hunter, the best in the Galaxy. [Said with no small amount of pride.Currently I work at the...ugh...Major's Club as a bartender. I work there on Sunday nights, so unfortunately I'm not free

[Brooke smiles, or what is the closest you could call to a smile when you have no face. He hadn't expected her to be so open with him considering he was a talking skeleton who had just asked if he could see her panties no too long ago. So he felt very much like he could trust Samus, although even if he hadn't trusted her, he would have likely helped anyways. The smile was because he was glad to know he wouldn't likely be back stabbed. Then again it's not like he had much of a back to stab.] Yohohoho! Sounds like this Major's Club is a rather distasteful place to work. I assume they must either, pay well, you don't care, or you're simply desperate for funds. Have you ever thought of working at a musical store? Yohohoho

[This is her head spinning a little to try and absorb all the information flying at her rapid fire from a Skeleton's rictus grin. She nods slowly as it sinks in, pursing her lips in thought.]
At the moment we don't have much of a team sadly, only about four of us total, maybe five if I include an operator, so the reality is I'm not sure if the plan is feasible. We could patrol with a small number, but at that point we're relying primarily on luck...not something to be relied on.
Ah, Samus is fine. So do you meet a lot of genetically altered cyborgs?

It does sound like a somewhat undermanned operation... but perhaps if we only try taking down one murderer at a time, using one person as bait, we might accomplish something. Of the volunteers do we have any skilled trackers?
Well to be honest I travel around with a cyborg, although he's not genetically altered, and right before I found myself here my entire crew was defeated by one super powered such individual. His name was Kuma, and he seemed rather unstoppable... well actually, even know he seems rather unstoppable.

I don't think the murderers attack separately, though I could be mistaken. From what I've gathered they attack as a trio, using their individual skills to create a whole greater then the sum of it's parts.

I didn't think that they would likely get along, most people of that ilk do not from my experience. Perhaps I might be able to come up with some further assistance. Many members of my crew have also found their way to Siren's Port, I may be able to convince them to join in our efforts to bring them down. At least then we'd have nearly twice as many people who's abilities I can vouch for personally.
More or less. I happen to be a pirate.
(ooc: something tells me the whole pirate thing may not go over well with Samus >_>)

[A pirate. That's just spectacular. One of the few people willing to help her in this thing and he's a goddamn pirate. Her voice cools several degrees, not quite freezing but definitely frosty.]
No reason to bring your crew into this.
I actually find that criminals tend to stick together for protection. When things go poorly they can sell each other out instead of taking the heat, using the ones around them as a shield.
[That might have been a subtle dig at pirates and their crews.]

[The bard winced at her cold voice, remembering how some people definitely disapproved of pirates, and this wasn't exactly the best thing to put on your resume. However, Brooke went almost just as cold when she suggested that his friends could not be trusted.My lady

Would these eyes lie to you? Oh wait, [The skeleton leans back in his chair and laughs] I don't have any eyes. Yohohoho!
Allow me to introduce myself my lady, my name is Brooke the bard, and it's an absolute pleasure to meet you. May I please see your panties?

What kind of foes can we be expecting here?
