So This is What We've Got To Work With, Huh?
The man known only as the Elusive Man sits in his chair on the other side of the holographic relay projector, his features wreathed in shadow except for two glowing emerald green eyes. He watches young Cyrus navigate the controls of the Cerberus Ship Normandy II and admires the fact that the kid can handle it. That was good. After two billions credits worth of technological developments and upgrades, someone had best be able to fly that ship.

"Cyrus, you'll be under Urdrex's command while you two are recruiting the rest of the team. Don't take any unnecessary chances, you two. Find the people in the dossiers and get them to Omega as soon as possible; we don't have time to waste. Another colony has just been hit and if we don't do something about this soon, the rest of the universe is in a lot of trouble.

Are we clear?" the shadowed figure asks, sitting back in his chair.

Rex Stewart is having a bad day. A really bad month.

His sister is...yeah. She's also dating a Lord.

The girl he wants to date has no clue he's alive.

His mother is still pissed at him for not telling her his sister got kidnapped. Oh, his sister got kidnapped by some jerk who wanted to breed with her, and managed to beat Rex's ass six ways from Sunday.

Oh, and did he mention that he hasn't had a good fight in a week? All of these things blend together to push Rex to break his vow of sobriety (not that he's a drunk or anything, but still) and he tells Sam to start him up with a round of shots, passing the bartender his home phone number.

Rex is on his eleventh beer when the Krogan--why is a Krogan here?-- walks in.

And he's asking for Aleea.

Now, Rex could keep quiet, say nothing, and just let this pass. In fact, it would probably be smart if he did. But Space Case's dad sent her here to keep her from whatever crap was brewing on Rann. Krogan are mercenaries of the highest order.

And really, when has Rex ever done the smart thing over a chance at fight. He stands up, takes off his coat, and looks at the Krogan.

"She ain't your type. She doesn't do scales." he says, to the shock of everyone in the bar.

	"Well lookit, here. We got ourselves a comedian." Urdrex says, taking a step or two into the bar. Everyone can see the hardware he's carrying and people start backing away and moving around him to get to the door. "I'm guessin' you know her, funny guy? Or do you just stick your nose where it don't belong whenever you feel like it?" Urdrex asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A little bit of column A, little bit of Column B." Rex says, taking another sip of beer. By now, the bar has cleared out with the exception of Sam, Rex and Urdrex. It seems that Rex is the only who wants to mess with the Krogan on this night.

"How about you turn around, get back in whatever jalopy you came in, and float your big alien ass back to whatever planet you come from. Tell your boss that the woman is off limits and leave it at that." Rex says, downing the rest of his beer.

Normally, anyone who talked to him like this on ANY planet would be dead by now. But Cyrus told him not start any fights, as did the Boss Man. He could paste this loser faster than a vornskyr could chew down a Tavar, but it wouldn't be fair.

"Look, Earthkid. You've had too much to drink and it's affectin' your brain. I'm gonna go against my better nature here and take your advice. So you have nice night and I'll find the girl myself. Thanks for nothin', shtakrilath." Urdrex says, turning to go.

	"The girl is still off limits, Krogan. Leave her be and you won't get any further trouble." Rex says. Urdrex keeps walking to the door. "Hey, I'm talkin' to you, jahstrikath!" Rex says, using a curse than any Krogan worth his salt knows. And finds to be deeply offensive. (Reply to this)(Parent)
