Malachi's finger tapped on the arm of the seat. Every other moment he went back to staring at his watch. He tapped along with the long hand's small ticking. There wasn't a lot else to do except wait for someone to say something or do anything. Any moment now…
Throwing a glance over at Fray, his head shook. At least there's the new "friend" of his, oh how terrific. He couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke. "Possibly, if I make out of this; we'll see.", he winked before noticing Kate.
His attention couldn't help but go over to her. She defiantly looks like she's getting irritated at him and Fray. It's slightly amusing if you have to ask him, but now's not the time for it. Oh well, he dragged out the fun of an argument for an inappropriate amount of time in this case. Maybe the Animga will get use that skill later on; it gets even better with the telepathy for sure. "Just get on with it Raikov so I can know what tools should be cleaned.", Malachi sighed,"Also I'm done for now."
Kate let out a short chuckle, every bit as sharp as her laugh. Her truly amused laugh sounded like it came from a different person compared to these grating, metallic huffs of chuckles. She ignored the condescending manner in which Alexander spoke to her (and a sometimes the others as well), though it chafed her a bit. Once it was clear the argument was over between the two, she relaxed an infinitesimal amount.
"Yes, thank you for your obvious concern for this," Kate sighed, voice piercing as knife and slathered with a good dose of sarcasm. "Anyway, I'm assuming you all choose to accept, then? And no I won't kill you just for refusing, I'm not cruel. I already gave a brief explanation of the mission. The first thing that we would do is sneak over the border into Valeria, then we would have to find these labs. I have a rough idea of where they are, but I would need someone with either hacking or mind reading capabilities to figure out exactly where the labs are, as I'm sure you're all aware that the exact location is a highly guarded secret. Then we would break in, download their mainframe, steal one of the experiments, and attempt to get back to Nova City in one piece. Clearly, I don't have much of a plan besides the basics, but once I get a team together then we can finalize things. All you have to do today is tell me whether or not you're willing to join."
Kate surveyed the group before her, those in question seeming to get more and more ragtag with each minute. It wasn't like there was any better choices though. Everyone here was adept at what they did, and anyone better would have attracted too much attention anyway. This was not something that Kate wanted people to know about. She had done her best to maintain a certain aura of mystery for the most part. She just hoped that she was putting her faith in the right people.
"If you say so, Your Highness," Fray drawled, leaning her chin on her hand. "You sound like you have it all figured out. Will we all have to listen to you? 'Coz you should know by now that that's not gonna happen. I usually work alone. I'm not a team player." She smirked mildly.
"Also, how much are we getting paid?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. "Because I heard nothing about money. Of course I'm in, but I want to know if we get money. I work best if I'm motivated."
She hadn't come to make friends. Although, the Amigna was fun to banter with, once this was all over, she would probably never see him again. Not that she cared. Friends were useless.
Kate was annoyed, but then again, that was a feeling she was used to. She pursed her lips, wondering if this girl had even listened to a word that she had said. "Yes, you'll have to listen to me, even though that's clearly hard for you. I don't care if you're a team player as long as you don't get yourself, or the rest of us, killed. And I already told you exactly how much we are being offered. Six billion dollars, which split evenly amongst us is one billion apiece. It's enough to set you up for life, yada yada. Does that work for you, princess?"
Why not join? There's nothing else to do around here. The plan seemed pretty straight forward although sounds like there are some gray areas to it; but it's all part of the amusement, right? The Aminga bit the inside of his lip; well amusement is not a way to put it. At least there's some use/benefit to the mission. He wondered who's brain he's going to explode this time.
Malachi kept his head down staring at the floor while listening to Kate and Fray. Such as waste of time and words; that's coming from himself. Just get over it and give in. What else is there?
Lazily, he raised his hand. Might as well add some reason or really just anything to this. "Alright, I'm in.", Malachi announced," I guess everyone else here is too since no one is objecting except, well I don't know what She-Wolf is asking for over there. Plus, what other idiots could you go to?"
Kate smirked at Malchi, the warmest expression she had shown these fools so far. “Well, sounds great to me,” she responded. “You are just the idiots I was looking for. So are there any further objections?”
(sorry thought i responded to this already)
“You know there’s not.” Lika sighed, running his hands through his hair. “So let’s just get on with it.”
The way he saw it, the sooner it started, the sooner it would be over, and the sooner he would have his hands in the money. Although, this job would be good change of scenery from his usual work——work that usually involved him being alone. Might be good to have others around him for a while, even if at least one of them was an insufferable egotist.
"Unfortunately, I can't think of anything right now," Fray sighed. She stretched her hands behind her head and leaned back in the chair, popping her joints. "So if I do have any objections, I'll be sure to let you all know right away." She smiled slightly, but it wasn't a warm smile. "In case you all were worried."
Straightening, she propped her chin on her hand. "When do we leave?" She asked, sounding bored. "Because I'm bored."
