#Miner'sRespite - November 14, 2014

Jason nods a couple times. "Full force." he repeats, "Should I have Jasper double back to pick us up once Jelvan and the others are safely at the spaceport?"

Vasquez considers this briefly before nodding and checking her omni-tool.

Jason pokes at his omni-tool once again as he paces around the room. "Alright. Message sent. Looks like Kim already responded. Says she'll be there ASAP."

Vasquez raises an eyebrow. "Really? Good, we'll have to find a place for her to set up."

Jason nods. "Hopefully we can avoid a fight... With our luck, though?" he snorts, "I'm not counting on it."

Vasquez lets out a grunt. "Things gotta go our way sooner or later." She checks to make sure they're not out of time yet, omni-tool screen projected in front of her.

Jason continues to poke at his omni-tool for a few moments before lowering his arm. "Was that... Optimism?" he asks, sounding surprised, "I didn't think you knew how to be optimistic. Are you feeling alright?"

Vasquez offers a rather joyless smirk. "Not like Redrock could do much worse, right? We were struggling before our base got blown to pieces."

Jason glances around the room with a genuine smirk, in contrast to Vasquez' grumpiness, "But at least we were struggling in our own bed. But hey, on the plus side... I've got more booze than I could ever hope for just down the stairs."

Vasquez ignores Jason for the moment, and turns back to the crate after a moment's consideration, grabbing some extra equipment which she puts in the armor's storage compartments.

Jason 's omni-tool beeps and he raises his forearm to check it. "Steve says he's got a shift downstairs." he says, peering over his omni-tool's interface, "Do we want to pull him for the day, or leave him here?"

Vasquez looks ahead in silence for a few seconds as she thinks. "We'll bring him. The Respite can manage for a while I'm sure. This shouldn't take that long - one way or the other."

Jason nods and begins typing out a message. "Sure thing."

Vasquez turns to her computer again as if she's realized something. She locks it down with whatever security Renala has been able to provide.

Steve exits the back room of the Respite and glances around for whoever is bartending at the moment. (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna is currently bartending and has for most of the day. She's current pouring a drink for an asari customer.

Steve steps towards Va'ynna and gives her a slight tap on the shoulder. "Evenin' Va'ynna." he says. (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna doesn't notice him at first, and tenses up at the tap on her shoulder. She turns towards him. "Um, hey Steve," she says. "How... how are you?"

Steve gives a shrug. "Can't complain. Sounds like Redrock has some things goin' on that require my attention. I'm gonna have to duck out for a couple hours. You have my contact info in case anything goes wrong?" (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna nods, glancing towards the terminal closest to her. "Yeah, but..., um, what... what can go wrong?" she says. "Are we... in danger?"

Steve stares at her for a moment before casually shaking his head. "Nah, don't think so. Just sayin'. I don't expect ya to need me, but if ya do, shoot me a message." (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna frowns, and nods again. "Okay, but... please don't be longer than you need to," she says. "And... um, take care." She pauses. "Is... Jason also leaving?"

Steve gives a nod. "Of course. I'll be back before ya even notice I'm gone." he says, "Yeah. Him and the Chief are supposed to meet me out front. Shuttle is comin' to pick us up." (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna glances towards the door. "Have... you told D'Inea?" she says, fidgeting a bit.

Steve gives Va'ynna a look and raises an eyebrow. "I'm only steppin' out a short while. No reason she needs to know. Right?" (Jason_Wolfe)

Steve sighs, "That's why you're gonna contact me at the first sign of trouble, right? I'm just headin' over to the spaceport. It ain't too far. I'll swing right back over." (Jason_Wolfe)

Jason finishes up on his omni-tool and lowers his arm. "Alright. Steve is gonna meet us out front. We should be all set, just don't shoot him." he says before tilting his head to the side and shrugging, "I mean... Try your best. I know these things are difficult for you."

Va'ynna is quiet for a few seconds, looking a little nervous. "But you're... leaving for hours," she says. "She... may notice."

Vasquez shoots Jason a sharp glare before moving away from the desk and exiting the room.

Steve gives a loud sigh. "Fine. Is she around today?" he asks, sounding somewhat frustrated. (Jason_Wolfe)

Jason snickers to himself as he follows Vasquez out of the room. "Just sayin'..." he mutters.

Va'ynna nods. "She's in her office, I think," she says. "She... hasn't said anything about leaving, though."

Vasquez starts moving down the stairs, armor clanking. Her mood looks sour from the comment. When she reaches the bottom of the stairs she glances at Steve. "Briggs, let's go."

Steve glances over at Vasquez. "Gimme a sec, Chief. I gotta let D'inea know I'm takin' off." he says before shooting a glance at Va'ynna. (Jason_Wolfe)

Vasquez nods, not pausing on her way towards the exit.

Jason continues behind Vasquez. He gives a smirk and a wave to Va'ynna. "Hey, V!" he calls out loudly as he follows towards the door, "Keepin' busy?"

Steve pushes through the door and heads towards Aylena's office. Upon reaching it, he raps his knuckles against the door a few times and awaits a response. (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna nods, and looks like she's about to say something, but he's far out of her earshot before she can get to it -- she's not a very loud talker after all. She gives a wave, though.

Aylena opens the door a mere few seconds later. She's dressed in a dark-green shirt and dark-gray cargo pants -- not really what one would expect of someone just 2 years short of seven centuries. "Hello," she says. "What is going on?" A video feed can be seen on her screen, which may explain her question.

Steve sighs and steps just inside the room. He leans against the door frame and gives a shrug. "Not really sure. Redrock has some shit going on, I'm gonna need a little time off tonight. Shouldn't be more than a couple hours or so. Shouldn't be a problem, right?" (Jason_Wolfe)

Vasquez exits the Respite, taking a look around for any sight of Jasper's shuttle.

Aylena frowns. "Why didn't you let me know earlier?" she says. "What's going on, and could it concern Miner's Respite?"

Steve crosses his arms across his chest and rolls his shoulders. "Didn't let you know earlier because I was just told about five minutes ago. No idea what's going on. I highly doubt it has anything to do with the Respite but-..." he shrugs, "..hey, ya never know, right?" (Jason_Wolfe)

Aylena nods. "I take it I have no say in this then?" she says. "Go. Tell them to come by and give me an explanation tomorrow." she moves over to a sturdy locked cabinet near the entrance and starts typing in a code. "Well, I can see to the security here while you're gone," she says, "but I expect you'll still be on call."

Steve nods. "Va'ynna has my contact info. I told her to let me know if I'm needed back here." he says with a sigh, "Trust me, I don't have any say in this either. I just do as I'm told, Aylena." (Jason_Wolfe)

Aylena finishes unlocking it and picks out an armor undersuit. A Carnifex and a Katana can be seen in the cabinet. "I see," she says. "I'll talk to your employers about it. As I understand, they already had something they'd like to talk about."

Steve nods. "Well, that's between you and them. I'll be back as soon as I can." he says. He turns around and heads back out without awaiting a response. (Jason_Wolfe)

Jason exits behind Vasquez and takes a position against the wall to wait for Jasper. "So did you contact Rellis? He willing to negotiate?"

Vasquez shakes her head. "Not yet. We still have some time. I'd like to get to the spaceport first."

Steve exits through the door behind the counter and gives Va'ynna a scowl before silently making his way across the bar and towards the exit. "Evenin' Jason." he says as he exits the building. "Chief." he adds. (Jason_Wolfe)

Va'ynna is a little taken aback by his scowl, but she keeps quiet as he passes by.

Jason gives Briggs a silent nod.

Vasquez nods at Steve, looking a bit embarassed for a split second before focusing her gaze ahead, looking for Jasper's arrival.

Jason pushes away from the wall and takes a few steps towards the shuttle. "Well, let's get this over with." he says as he grabs one of the handholds and pulls himself into the shuttle.

Vasquez heads towards the shuttle immediately, entering and walking up to Jasper, steadying herself with a hand on the ceiling grips - the machinegun prevents her from sitting comfortably.

Steve climbs in behind the others and takes a seat near the door. "So... Any of you wanna tell me what the hell is going on?" he asks. (Jason_Wolfe)

Jason takes a seat across from Steve and begins to harness himself in.

Jasper glances over his shoulder at Vasquez and offers a smile. " 'ey Chief. What's the word?" he asks as he remotely closes the shuttle doors. (Jason_Wolfe)

Vasquez gives Jasper a nod. "Take us to the spaceport." She then speaks without looking back at Steve and Jason. "We've been asked to set Jelvan free. We're going to demand compensation for the destruction to our base before letting him go. I want a heavy armed presence to make sure they don't try to break him free again."

Steve nods a couple times. "Of course..." he says with a sigh. He shakes his head, "And who is Jelvan?" (Jason_Wolfe)

Jasper | "You got it." he says as the shuttle begins to ascend. (Jason_Wolfe)

Vasquez grunts, gesturing at Jason while looking through the virtual windows.

Jason shrugs. "We had to nab him for a contract. Not much else to say. He had information that our employer needed." he nods towards Steve, "Remember the whole incident at the Respite? About Rellis? Well, Jelvan is his brother. And, as you could probably guess, Rellis is none to happy about it."

Jason nods a couple times. "Well, hopefully we can settle it all today and get working on rebuilding the office."
