Slade found himself a place with Vick and the @SwordOfSalbog, which had expanded to a peacekeeping force with funding from the krogan. The faction would get contracted to quell insurrections and explore unknown space...while making a hefty amount of credits in the process...
Simon Slade remained neither a hero nor villain. He was simply all business with a penchant for adventure, and his thirst for both never waned - but his intentions, along with the rest of society, had changed as well.
Slade felt like an intruder of sorts as he walked the C-SEC HQ halls. In another time, all of these people would have either arrested or killed him on sight, but that fact didn't worry him now.
He found her: @_FifthCircle was sitting in a chair, hands to her lips in thought...
@_FifthCircle Malak couldn't take a joke to save his life.
-He cleared his throat, stood, and holstered his weapon-
From this moment on, I'm an honest man. Got given a second chance. Don't know if Malak deserves one, but there's a good guy underneath all of that, somewhere in there.
@_FifthCircle -He stone-faced her with an ugly expression, one full of mischief, then pulled the trigger as fast as he could. Before Bea could react, a thin stream of water spouted across to her knee from the barrel, slightly dampening her pant leg-
@_FifthCircle I followed him around, saw everythang in those Archives.
-The barrel emerged further-
He wasn't exactly my friend, but...he deserved what happened to him.
@_FifthCircle -Slade took a chair nearby and scooted it across from hers and sat. Inconspicuously, the barrel of a hand cannon emerged from his side, hidden underneath his coat but in clear view of her vision-
Malak was a bit of a bitch, wasn't he? He failed, I can see it in your eyes.
@CSECJensen@GraveSpirits@CoolDoth@VigilantScarf@BoomClants -Slade bent down to pick up his hat and slip it back on his head. He raised his arms and backed toward Cujo's entrance-
Hey now...there's a lot of trouble into just arresting one guy in this situation, dontcha think? How about I just walk away, we never see each other again?
@GraveSpirits -He found a shank buried in the neck of a dead guard and pulled it. With blood still fresh, he swiped two fingers to clean the physical blade and marked his helmet face with it-
@GraveSpirits -Slade pulled the riot helmet off of the guard and slipped it onto his own head, automatically positioning himself as the impromptu leader of all the inmates-
SECURE THE EXITS! GRAB THEIR GEAR! WE LEAVE /TODAY/!
@GraveSpirits -The cell doors clicked and slid open. Simon stepped out along with the other inmates. He cocked his head at a drell wearing shades across the room, then inspected the guards. They all turned in confusion, and then it hit him-
RISE UP, MY BROTHERS!
@GraveSpirits First, I'm gonna eat a cheeseburger. Then, I'm gonna get me a pretty lady to share some booze with. And after? Well, next up is letter G of my A to Z "get rich quick" scheme list.
