Bred to Serve

[Aldrea945]

Rachel flicked one ear toward the rat, very aware of his presence.  However, she never looked away from the Sabor Tooth.  Even with the sword less than a foot from her, she didn't flinch.  It wasn't a rarity, after all.
 
"Rachel.  Meeting," she said.  Her speech wasn't the most elaborate, but it worked.  Mission coordinators prefered things on paper, and didn't appreciate back talk anyway.  This cat, if the armor was any indicator, would likely understand.

[FurryJunky]

Blinking a bit in bewilderment he dropped her sword to his right side simply retaining his impassive gaze on her, a deep set of blue. Blinking once he tore his gaze away and lifted his sword, sheathing it back from where it came. "Was it-" Pausing through the sentince he frowned lightly, not knowing if it was a male or female, therefore not knowing how to lable this individuel. "-That person, who came to you too?" he said lowering his tone a bit to what would be normal of him, thought it still was deep reguardless.

The sewage smell was turning Kayato's stomach. She could still smell it even through her cloth. it stung at her eyes and she was starting to get dizzy. She remembered smelling something like this before, it smelled like.. like... try as she may she could not place it. Kayato started using the slime covered wall as a support to keep herself upright. She heard the voices but kept going, maybe these were the ones who sent the note..  She needed to get out of the sewers as soon as possible. Katato felt her hoof  collide with something and she nearly lost her balance. she stood completely still afraid to see what it was.... it was squishy and sounded mad.....

[KittKat chunky~]

The wind pulled at Katka's jacket with chill grasping fingers, whipping the loose end of her scarf. Breath fogging before her she grasped the steel cable, currently the only thing holding her above certain death, the wind buffeted and pulled. With gloved hands she reached for a second piton, unreeling a length of cable and securing it to the steel hoop set into the wall of metal that rose above her. She fumbled, cold steel biting into the warmth of her hands, tugging on the cable until it ran taught. Above and below her others did the same, spreading out across the length of the great steel rail they moved like ants. Already those at the farthest edges of her view were obscured by mist, rolling in over the treetops to accompany the sheets of rain that poured down to patter off metal surfaces and worker's jackets. She suppressed a shiver and hauled herself up to the next iron rung, staring up at the huge rail above and the darkness of a long drop below.



"Wind is picking up!" Even Rosoyov's deep ursine voice struggled to be heard through the constant howl, his blue eyes roving over the length of the Mass-Inertia track and the workers who clambered over it with an anxious appraisal. At his side the wolven officer followed his gaze and then turned to him, one gloved hand clutching the railing that ran the length of the steel-mesh viewing platform. She narrowed her eyes against the seething rain and shouted back. "Can your workers finish the repairs in time?" At this Rosoyov nodded, the bear folding his arms across a broad chest. "Yes, they will get your work done in time for the next High-Speed train... I can count on them for that much."

[Aldrea945]

Rachel simply flicked her ears as a yes.  She never once looked away from his eyes, unblinking.  She had gotten a report from an unknown associate, disguised as a cargo report, that mentioned no names.  The date and time were written plainly, and the place was only a small photograph in black and white.  At the time, she'd assumed one of the Captains had sent her a mission, but that pretense had dropped when she'd tried to fulfil it.  Still, curiosity was a tricky fiend, and impossible to catch without feeding.
 
She again flicked her ear in the direction of their newest companions.  "Rank."

[Luke White-Heart]

As the day progressed, Luke remained in the surveilence closet. Master would be coming for him in another few hours, and he wanted to make sure he had sufficient data to present to Master. After Master debriefed him, Master would take him to the "special room", for some "rest and recuperation", as Master called it. But, as Luke sat there, in the sweltering, tiny room, he glanced at one of the security feed monitors, and saw a Fur walking through a hallway, unaccompanied by an Owner or guard. Luke frowned in frustration, reaching for the telegraph to the guards, and requesting the escapist be brought to his Master's office. Master preferred that no one knew how intelligent Luke truly was, so Luke pretended to be a mute. He didn't mind; he rarely had anything to say.
 
Luke stood in his Master's office, staring the escaped Fur in his frantic eyes.
"What wrong with you? You traitor to own RACE!" Luke frowned, then shook his head and walked away, leaving the guards to take the Fur to Euthinization Room.

[FurryJunky]

Tilting his head off to one side he stared at you a few seconds, returning her left hand to rest on the hilt of his sword, each digit of his paw flexing lightly as if expecting a fight, almost a yearning for one. One last time his eyes would flicker about until he looked down at his much covered feet. Looking back up he rolled his shoulders saying, "Lorenzo, First division personal bodyguard to Human counsel member Etiee Kehhlo, class one..." Frowning at the end of his rather long winded rank it did give off just how dangerous he was, and how much of a risk he took, as for human counsel member did not just get any ordinary body guards to follow them, and having one he must of paied so much for, go stray, would also say something abut the whole furry race as a whole. Dipping his head some he righted his head, almost towering over you before she nodded towards you. "You?" he asked in return, asking for your rank as well.

[Aldrea945]

Rachel's response was unflinching, although it was also a bit hard to hear.  "Assassin.  Army.  Class two," she said.  Her gaze was a bit unnerving after a few minutes, something that seemed to conflict with her comparatively small stature.  Her clothes didn't seem to match the weather either, being that it was something akin to a black leotard and weapons belt.  Her boots had been left at home.

[Aldrea945]

(Uh, is anyone awake?) A flash of light came to their right, a nyga lantern.  Few used them anymore due to their tendency to shatter when too hot or cold, so it likely wasn't the army.  Rachel narrowed her eyes, wary, as a person in hood and blank mask stepped into their view.  There was absolutely nothing that could be made out about them, save their average stature.  When they chuckled, it was low and high and level.  Like that of thousands of beings instead of one.  "Thank you for coming.  We have much to talk of," it said.

[Kaya]

Kayato flinches away from the light, nervous of the newcomer and the oddness of their voice. things were changing to fast for her liking. She stumbles back and falls into the sewage and groans trying not to vomit. ew... this is so gross .. who are all of these people? why the hell did I even think about coming here...

[Ventus Fall]

Ratface waded through the stinking water to get a bit closer to the cat creatures and the newcomer.  When he saw a wolf-horse like creature stumble into the water, causing a ripple effect. He saw the disgusted and worried look on her face and decided help her, eventhough it might put him in danger.
He swum towards her and made sure she saw him, so she wouldn't startle.
"Need help getting out of the water?" He asked her, almost whispering.

[FurryJunky]

Lorenzo stood there motionless as he turned off towards the direction of the light. Almost at once his pupils dilated as he took in the shape of this person. The hood was the very same he saw before, so this must be the one... Blinking once his eyes then darted behind him, giving the other two a sideways glance before looking back at the masked stranger. Running his thumb along the piece of paper he held he simply turned his body in her direction and waited a bit unpatented while the others gathered themselves up from the much. His anxiety was quite noticeable by how his tail twitched behind him, a shaggy thing it was like one would find on a wild wolf, as well as how he gripped the paper in his left hand.

[Alison Marie]

Alice made her way through the labyrinth of the sewer tunnels in a cautious manner. worst idea... ever... master is to be angry upon my return... the though of future events startled her. she paused her walk and put a paw to her collar and tags. a small chill ran down her spine. though she enjoyed the cheerful jingling of the tags on her collar with each movement, she knew they would undoubtedly be her downfall if she ever had to hide.
i could turn back... no one would know... i shouldn't have fallowed kaya.. i think im lost.... covering her nose with her other paw, she cocked her ears down the sewer tunnel listening for voices. the odd smells of the sewer made it impossible for her to track kaya by scent. resuming her careful walk through the bowels of the city above, she rounded a corner abruptly running into a group of furs. "o-oh my... a-apologies..." lowering her head, she caught sight of kaya. upon seeing her, she ran to her side "we are going to be in trouble later... aren't we?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka shivered, pulled the fur collar of her jacket up against the wind that roared past the steel girders of the Mass-Inertia rail line. A strand of her hair fluttered loose, the air buffeting  back and forth, she reached a gloved hand up and tucked it back under her Ushanka cap. Shivering again she gripped the wrench again, the cold of the steel biting to the bone even through her thick gloves, she glanced up to low rain-laden clouds racing overhead. To either side of her, and further down, other workers moved along the line slowly, replacing the worn bolts that held the rail in place...






"Get your workers off that line, immediately!" The wolven officer gripped the railing against the pull of the wind as she shouted, one hand thrown up to cover her eyes as rain lashed down over the platform, Rosoyov turned to her miming that he couldnt hear. She cupped her hand around her muzzle and shouted again, fighting to be heard over the storm "The one-oh-five high speed carrying a shipment of weaponry is early, due any minute! Get your workers off that line!"






Rain, cold and lashing in great deluges that poured over the steel structure of the rail-line soaked Katka, sodden and freezing. She shivered, gloved paws fumbling with the rappel line, she looked up from her work. Something was wrong. Visibility was poor, fog rolling in with the pouring rain, but even so she could no longer see the other workers on the line. A tinge of uncertainty, she pulled down her scarf, quickly scanning down both sides of the titanic steel rail, clinging to its side like an insect.


Slowly a hum grew in the steel under her hands, vibrations slowly growing until the whole rail-line reverberated and hummed. Hanging by her harness Katka's eyes widened, the wrench dropping from her grip to fall away into the darkness below, clattering off the girders and struts. She fumbled with the rappel line, the uncertainty growing into fear as the shaking of the steel underneath her grew steadily to a roar that drowned out even the wind.

[Kaya]

She looked up a bit startled and nodded holding out her hand. She tried not to lose what dinner she was given as the water ran out of her fur.
