then kicking the wall

God. What a mess you are.

shoving you back forcefully
so you fall backwards onto a stack of hay or straw

I may just have to dedicate some of My time to seeing that you're whipped into proper shape.

striding out of your stall, closing and locking the gate

and laying Renee's crop on the table near the barn exit

heading home

Kendo looks confused by your question for a moment. Then he snaps his fingers and pulls up a display of the World Breakers. 12 heavily armed, heavily borged out, highly trained mercenaries decked out in bleeding edge armor and weapons.

"The brain in the box didn't kill anyone. These guys did. No one's ever gotten to Maximo before. Our bounty hunters never even laid eyes on him before the World Breakers laid them out."

Not 1 cyborg, Mr. Fenix. 13 cyborgs. All deadly.

Echo Fenix asks for reward clarification, and Mr. Kirkpatrick is so giddy and happy to provide it. If he pulls this off, he'll be Junior Manager of Negotiations and Financial Advising.

Finger snapping. The reward levels pop up on the holoscreen:

-Platinum Untouchable. Any current bounties on a participant are called off and any future bounties on them will be refused.

-Diamond Crosshairs: Order a hit on a specific target at no charge to the participant. The Guild will make a full-faith effort to ensure this target is destroyed regardless of cost and loss of life. If one kill team fails, another will be sent in its place.

-Golden Reliquary: Order the acquisition of something specific by The Guild to be delivered to a participant. This can include data, a physical object, or a person.

"These apply only to people who take direct, physical part in the Self-Delete. No risk, no reward. And only one reward per person." There's a bunch of TOS in small print below the reward text.

C'mon. Sign on. Do this for him. He wants a bigger office with his own bathroom.

pout...

Commercial
Jesucristo...

Echo just stares from behind his screen. Lips thin. Mentally glued together to hide words he doesn't want to speak out loud.

Take on a heavily guarded, heavily armed, heavily trained combat cyborg, hold him down, rip out his brain, and then keep the brain alive until it's delivered to Militech.

This would've definitely been one he went straight to Maul with.

To IRIDIA's text...
::Haven't heard from him in a while but I'll check. We're going to need Eir for the medical end. Perry has advanced cyberware experience.::

A look over to Peregrine P. Olveira when he asks for a follow-up. If Haven's going to kill Echo for this, he's pretty sure Briar is going to kill you for this. Call it a hunch.

Are you sure you want to hang out with Cool Guy Echo and all His Rowdy Friends?

"Specify the payout. What do we get for pulling this off? And who gets it?" Again, Mr. Cool Guy Fixer Who Does This All The Time on full display.

goodnight

I have to run

eyes roll back
temples pound as you shake me like a ragged doll
not wanting you to see me cry. but the tears flowing

then the crop slashing pale white skin
snorting
trying to jerk way
her body reacting before her brsin

Sounds like things are progressing nicely. Enjoy your time outdoors to the fullest. It's already too humid here for the most part.

stepping in
grabbing the bit in one hand
and shaking your head violently by the bit

slashing the crop alongside your hip

You've certainly got a boatload of attitude, don't you!

Commercial
It isn't that he isn't ride-or-die, but wants clarification. The explanation has him nodding, satisfied with it for the moment.

God, is Briar going to kill him for doing this? It would help keep them safe. And he can help with the 'ware.

"What part of the brain in the box has caused the 17 bounty hunter deaths?"

Commercial
…and couldn't help but slyly go right back on her gesture, low cinnamon eyelids peeking open slits to get a look at General Kurtz's file, though the light behind her irises made it so a subtle peek was anything but.

Don't. React. Don't react.

Former NUSA general doing dirty work back in… what might have been Maul's back yard, for all she knows. Atrocities and war crimes like it was a hobby, only to end a career and what… just continue the same except now simply for the love of it?

He was sick, sick in the worst way possible.

Don't react.

IRIDIA withdrew the smoke from her lips and stared down into her lap instead, preparing to back up Echo's impressions… hers?

::We're calling in every favor imaginable for this one. You still talk to Dylan Cadd?::

Sent to Echo Fenix in private, over a flick of her eyes in his direction.

nostrils flaring
fear taking my tummy
as Maitresse offers control of me
never having seen a woman like you here

~mmmm certainly
handing you my crop

all yours

swiveling around
catching only the tail end of that display
reaching for the bit and then slowing my hand down
eyes to you

May I?

giggling
~see what I mean
and oh by the way
she is available to buy

laughing

Sees its reaction to Keisha
shakes its head violently
~eyes down now!!!
