This was the last place Zira wanted to be after the rather unenjoyable experience last time facing a man named Drake White but since she was the only one available from their group who was familiar with the area she was the ideal choice. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, the Firebird using her telepathy to track them down.
"This way."
Performing another lunge across rooftops, the Firebird continued until she saw an old large building up ahead and came to a stop. Hearing groups of people's thoughts coming from inside as she smiled to herself.
"Clever. They're hiding in plain sight."

Kira snapped awake as an alarm went off on his computer. He had put these triggers in certain places and the best part is unless you knew where you were looking for them , you wouldn’t find them. Even then finding them wasn’t guaranteed. He quickly brought up his laptop as they worked their way closer and closer. He grabbed his jacket as he ran out the door. It might be a false alarm, but then again it might be real very real. A scout could easily report their position back. Kira quickly hacked into one of the cameras outside catching a glimpse of Zira just setting there. He finished tugging on his jacket. Damn, how did they already get this close? Kira wondered. The Isafaro government would never be able to track it back. He had caught onto their routine. He set the source back to itself. As far as it would appear nothing out of the ordinary was happening with their equipment. Should he warn Imai? She clearly wasn’t regular military if she was with them. No by the time he got their now he would be too late. He took a sharp right landing him at the entrance of the base, but he didn’t go outside yet. Instead he waited inside putting away his laptop away, hooking a video fed to something else. He would be able to see if she went away or stayed there, a stern look on his face and ready to grab his gun if the need arose and waited. One thing he did know. She was studying the entrance a lot more then he was comfortable with. ______________________________________________________ A little light begins to shine,

Zira was not alone. A single companion, silhouetted in the moonlight, leapt across the rooftops mere feet behind her, allowing her to lead the way. Sparda was one of the few people who had not been here before, so Zira's prior knowledge of the area - and of their foes here - was guiding him.
When the Firebird came to a stop, so too did he. He looked down at the large building across from them, feeling a number of faint auras within.
"They'll have early-warning measures in place to keep them one step ahead of any investigation," he mused openly, examining the structure for entrances other than the front door. "It's a safe bet they already know we're here." |

Zira Firestone was already in the crosshairs of Kragen's sniper rifle as the ex-soldier was on duty prior to the alarm going off notifying them of the intruders presence. He held off his fire for the meantime until either one did something to warrant a .50BGM to the chest. Neither one of them looked to be a part of the Isafaro military or any special task force that Kragen was aware of which more than likely made them a third-party affiliate here and in the ex-soldier's mind that made them more dangerous. Some times the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. Kragen remained unmoved at his snipe post keeping an eye on the two until ordered otherwise.

Kragen weren't the only person stalking the intruders through the unyielding eye of the sniper's scope. The turian rebel was too with the M-29 Incisor in hand, slowly going up and down the right-hand side of Zira's face and shoulder before moving over to the male. Noticing wardrobe and hair before anything else. The last time the rebel revolt encountered someone with a strange attire they proved to be less than human but the more experience they had with the supernatural the more prepared they were to deal with it. With his com-link still open Garrus spoke barely above a whisper in order to report back to base. Garrus Vakarian
I have them in my sight. Awaiting orders. |

"Tell me about it. They have two snipers on us already."
There was no concern in her voice, indicating to the observers in the area that while she knew there were weapons on them she weren't the least bit concern meaning she could either handle them or was just flat out crazy. The former was true of course but they had no way of knowing that.
"Think they'd take our word for it if we said "we come in peace!" as amazingly cliche as that sounds? I rather not get bullet holes in my outfit."

Kira studied the screen. The more he looked at it the more apparent it became that they weren’t for this world. He had hoped they were just stopping. His thoughts were racing, much faster then anyone elses around the area. Just go away. he silently thought to himself. He didn’t actually want to want to fight or have to detain them. Just please leave. he silently thought. So far however they seemed to just be sitting there, but that didn’t mean Kira wasn’t exactly ready for them, but he hoped it would just blow over without inncident. He knew their were others out there that had already marked them, but he hoped they too wouldn’t have to be used. He silently checked his knife and gun again making sure both were ready if there came a need for it. He did make one change. He changed his clip. He silently waited as he heard Garrus speak. So he was out there it seemed. He hoped the guy wouldn’t take a shot at them. ______________________________________________________ Key: Person to post next Song: Fields of Hope by Rie Tanaka Notes: Thoughts; Dialouge |

"Hmm..."
At first, this was the Dark Knight's only response to Zira's suggestion. He too was aware of the snipers watching them; it hadn't taken him very long to pinpoint their heartbeats, and the whispered report coming from one of them had not escaped the part-vampire's notice.
"Comes down to how paranoid they are," he chuckled simply. "We obviously don't look like the Vulture sent us, but they'll probably think that's just to induce a false sense of security. We'll likely need to prove we have no affiliation with the General..."
He stopped for a moment, glancing at Zira. "Or am I just overthinking things?" |

Compromised. Somehow this woman was aware of their positions leaving them at a disadvantage should a fight break out. How? Many different scenarios ran through the ex-soldier's mind but there was no way to tell for sure unless they engaged the target. "Kragen to base," he said through the radio, "they are aware of our position. I repeat, they are aware of our position." The ex-soldier stood up, the DSR 50 still in hand, and began moving away from his current post.

“You have permission to engage the enemy,” replied 201 into her radio. “It's only fair since I'm currently staring right at them.”
201 lowered her radio, currently standing thirty-two feet behind Zira and Sparda on the rooftop the two were currently occupying. After putting the radio away she reached down towards her gun holster on her waist in case she needed to draw her pistol and start firing.
“If you want to prove you're not a threat to us now would be a good time to start.” |

So they discovered their location and to make matters worse 201 engaged them on her own. Garrus wasn't sure just what this human was capable of but he knew from personal experience it was never a good idea to engage any enemy on your own no matter your own skills. He quickly stood up from his post and headed to the rooftop of the building he was in. Once on the roof the turian rebel gave himself a running head start before leaping off the building and landing on the one next to it in a roll. This was a process he repeated until finally reaching the destination of Zira, Sparda and 201. With his weapon raised, Garrus stood to 201 right not letting his guard down as he addressed 201 latest act of bravery. Garrus Vakarian

Zira never got a chance to reply to Sparda as 201's voice led the Firebird to turn around and face her.
"Well aren't you just the cute little ninja."
Spoke Zira sarcastically. Admittedly though if it wasn't for her six sense as a demon she wouldn't have heard the human sneaking up on her to begin with. Noticing that 201 was reaching for her gun, the Firebird spoke up again:
"Yeah that's not going to work. Listen if we wanted to kill you guys we would have done it already."
Rude but truthful. Before the conversation could go any further though Garrus showed up after a bit of roof hopping. Well he was fast considering he had on all that annoying looking armor on. There were no Turians in her world so Zira was making first contact with a new alien species.
"Hi. I can tell your partner," Zira pointed to 201, "isn't all there so inform your Commander that we mean you no harm and wish to speak to her. Under her terms if that makes her feel better. Look..."
Zira took out her guns and sword and dropped them on the space between them and the rebel members.
"Unarmed."

Kira silently swore as 201 not only gave them permission to engage them, but as well also announced she was right next to them. He still had his only com so he heard the entire conversation. He had a long time ago, put down his laptop in a safe place before running out of the building. 201 what was going on in her head at the moment? It took a bit longer then he had wanted, but his speed did help. No doubt the others would be moving to. Although how Zira knew of the snipers remained a mystery to him still. Although that was for something later. He emerged on the rooftop opposite them. A short run and a small jump and he was on the same one as them. His hand instinctively over his gun as he caught the last part of their discussion. Until now his entire way up here had been silent. ”Unarmed doesn’t mean anything.” he said quietly. That would be the first sound he made coming from behind them, his voice might not show anything, but that didn’t mean his eyes didn’t. They softened. At least they were making an effort here. He only hoped that 201 would realize that as well. Hopefully things wouldn’t have to go much further than this. He hadn’t been expecting to see Garrus here as well. It seemed they both had the same idea in the end. ______________________________________________________ Key: Person to post next Song: Fields of Hope by Rie Tanaka Notes: Thoughts; Dialouge |

“What's the fun in that?”
201 looked back to Zira, the one that called her cute. Yeah, no. She didn't swing that way not even after a few drinks. She didn't like being excluded in the matter she was either.
“I'm in charge here so whether you like it or not direct your attention to me.”
Her eyes looked down to the weapons but as Kira so politely pointed out as he approached the scene, it meant nothing. Still, 201 motioned for Garrus to take the weapon lest Zira changed her mind and reclaimed them for battle.
“Anything you have to say to the Commander you can say to us here and now. So talk.” |

Kragen joined with the others, HKG3 rifle in his hands aimed at Zira and Sparda while he took his place opposite of Garrus next to 201. He eyed the weapons and then through body language told Garrus to remain cautious after he was motioned by 201 to grab the weapons. The ex-soldier awaited to hear what kind of explanation the others would give to support their claim that they were not their enemy. War has left the man torn and unable to trust many people. Even if the others decided to trust them it would take more than words to convince him of anything.
