"That's me", Felix mumbled to none in particular as he heard his name mentioned. He was aching to get started. "A proper investigation once more. Let's see if you still got it in you, old timer"

A slight drum roll on the bartop marked his exit from the Hall as he strolled casually to the Bazaar to do a last-minute stock-up.

[Dutch Thriceman]

Loud, clanking, footsteps can be heard from outside. With a complete disregard for it's surroundings the mechanical humanoid enters the hall, on what one might call it's 'face' a disturbingly human expression rests, a sort of look of smugness one might say.

An obnoxiously loud mechanical voice, originating from the Adamite, begins to speak.

Greetings fleshlings, I am designated B 3 R 5 - 3 r k, but you friends might call me 'Bers' I have come seeking employment.

Some whispering voices can be heard coming from somewhere in the hall.

"Oh no, you've got to be kidding me! What is one of these things doing in here! I know right, can't the staff kick the bloody clanker out! It looks damaged..."

Felix strolled through the Hall, content he had still been on time for the signups. Noticing another new face enter the premise, he walked up to Aysu.

"That looks like a potent cocktail you're drinking there, miss", Felix said smiling, pointing at her pink drink.

"Ah, mostly sweet and fizzy." Aysu laughed. "Though if there is more of a kick to come I'll enjoy it! Hopefully won't put off my aim when the tech comes to fetch us for the job." She heard names called and gave a wave to the people leaving.

[The Legonater]

After having long since drifted from the conversation, Soren was startled to see someone refer to him. 

The over-eager gun lady and the elf monk... okay, this could work. Soren grabbed his pack and immediately set out for the docking wing. 

[Kintobor]

Hearing her name, Zaria finishes her drink and gets out of her seat. "Boreal? Better pack in layers." She grabs her belongings and heads for the market.

"I've told ya lot before, I'm just mindin' the bar, bouncin' ain't in the job description."

Thorvald eyes the Adamite,

"Sorry about 'em, if your lookin' for Roddy, he's out back in the gym. Otherwise I'll take your order if you want somethin'. Jobs can be found posted to the mission board, though the first two just shipped out."

Coming out of one of the old guess rooms. 

Are, are you sure someone called us M.I.L.E.S. As she gave out a yawn. 

/// Yes, Polaris. I believe it was the bar tender. 

So, we are spouse to fine this Quaarm person, at some White Knight headquarters?

As the two head out the door. Polaris just looks at "him" but M.I.L.E.S. speaks up. 

/// Greetings fellow synthroid. I figured I would be the only one of our type around here. I am know as M.I.L.E.S. and this organic is Polaris Ursaring. Unfortunately we have to be going soon but I hope we will be able see each other later. 

 

[KotZ]

Varen sees he's been selected for a mission. "Well, time to go get ready." He exits the hall.

[Classic_Spaceman]

". . . grab my rifle, refill MedSpray system, get tea. . ." 
Yelana had just run into the Hall from the Library as she overheard someone whispering.

"Okay, WHO the hells just said that?!" 
Yelana turned to the Adamite newcomer. 
"I'm sorry about that - 'Bers', right? I have a mission, so I can't chat right now, but just know that when I'm here, you can talk to me if you want to. Bigotry's stupid and it makes no sense - Yet, here we are. Anyway, I have to go - I'll see you later. Oh, and my name's Yelana Fennix, by the way."

Bers turns his faceplate towards the Chimeran

"Roddy? Name not found in database ... Order. Processing. This unit would like 1 of your strongest of liquors."

Some of the mercs start laughing "Ain't it a lil' early to start drinking buddy?"

"Please do not worry. Friends. This unit's subsystems are powered by alcoholic distilliation."

 

Bers stares blankly as mercs start leaving the hall

"It is all. Right. See you. Later. Yelana Fennix..."

The smile on Bers's faceplate grows even larger

"Processing new friends in database."

"Oh, figured you were friends of his. No matter, strong stuff comin' right up." The Chimeran pours a finger for the Adamite from a dusty brown colored bottle. "That stuff'll clean your insides from top to toe. I'll leave the bottle 'case you're interested in more."

"Oh don't ya worry, you're in the company of perpetual day drinkers around this place. Rooms upstairs if your lookin' for a place to ever lie down."

[Kintobor]

"Alright, Enson, pink and bubbly, and the chef, just got word from Rachel. You're to meet her at the outside entrance to her office around the back of the hall whenever you're ready. She says to take your time getting ready."

Enson was not given to impatience, but he was beginning to feel a bit put out by things. After having gotten lost in the maintenance hallways he'd spent several hours blundering about trying to find an elevator, and when he finally did find one it had taken forever to arrive.  And now it was taking forever to reach its destination - a remarkable feat for something that could only go up and down.  As the elevator muzak slowly drove him mad, he settled into a leaning position against the wall and tried to block out the occult droning, hoping Rachel wouldn't mind him dropping in - literally - with another problem for her to solve.

[Peppermint_M]

"Hey cool." Aysu drained her drink. "Time to put this to real use." She hefted the rifle.

Bers sits there for a while before ignoring the small glass and reaches straight for the dusty brown bottle, it's contents get poured down in a single go. Afterwards what seems almost like an audible mechanical burp can be heard.

"This unit thanks you. Chimeran friend. I will recharge then, please alert this unit once Friends return."

The scratched up Adamite walks upstairs, it definitely seems to be an older design, yet it's behaviour juxtaposed as fresh and green as a grubsnots baby. As if only just recently awakened with sentience and emotions.

[Waterbrick Down]

A rather agitated Ornithun walks into Heroica Hall with a bulging briefcase of documents. After a brief conversation with the bartender she claims one of the tables, martini in one hand and briefcase in the other. Emptying the case's contents and organizing the main folders within, she downs the martini in a single drink before ordering another.

"Now lets see ten form G's, a couple delta reports, two Pluvvon filings... gonna need another drink..."

[Dutch Thriceman]

"Hmm, sensory units detect a new arrival a the hall."

Bers exclaims from the room he's recharging in, without delay he rushes out unto the upper level balcony, with a complete disregard that normal people would take the elevator or stairs he hops over the railing dropping down into an open space in the hall. A loud audible thump can be heard and nearby furniture and clutter trembles a little. As onlookers give the Adamite some annoyed and angry stares he exlaims to them;

"Fear not friends, this Unit comes equipped with impact dampeners!"

His speech slightly less robotic then before his retreat into the upper room, and nolonger as obnoxiously loud. As always completely oblivious to his surroundings Bers walks up to the new arrival;

"Greetings new Friend, I am B 3 R 5 - 3rk (pronounced B - 3 - R - 5 - Three-Ark) but my friends call me Bers! I have arrived at this 'station' looking for work. Inquiry, who is new friend?"

A massive giddy smile displayed on the Adamite's faceplate. Excited at something new happening in the hall and the prospect of a potential friend, Bers had afterall already approached every other patron and merc in the hall, who all in larger or lesser amounts of politeness told him to scram off.

"I see you are enjoying a refreshing beverage new friend, Chimeran friend please another of your brown bottles for this Unit!"

Bers shouts over in the direction of the bartender who's name he still does not know or ever considered asking. As he takes a seat at the Ornithun's table.

"Ah yes, Bers... Bers... Bers... ah got your initiation form right here..." The Ornithun shuffles a few papers around, "Name's Kreri, and yes the martini does take the edge off a little after the office. That was quite a jump there."

"Oh, this isn't a new form. This is from when you registered with the Hall. It has all your pertinent information. Got to keep all this stuff sorted for legal purposes of course. Don't want a repeat of the Rashiran incident."

Ber's notices the form he filled out when joining Heroica.

"One of the first sets of Heroes, alpha group, agreed to a contract on Rashira, a moon of Hi-Pluvvon. They decided to operate outside the normal procedures and didn't get sign-off on the mission by the Guild first. Things went south, the heroes ended up getting stuck with stolen artifacts from the Pluravvian government and now are currently serving a ten year prison sentence on the Imperial homeworld."
