Criminal Elements

Cetea had mostly remained silent as she kept pace by Azumi's side. It wasn't out of shyness, she had no desire to speak to any of these strangers extensively until they proved themselves an asset to her group's cause. It took some restraint to keep her objections about letting these people accompany them quieted, part of her silence came from the respect she had for her commanding officer's decisions. Still, there was still a part of her that was restless, agitated, almost fearful of the reprocussions that came from trusting this plan to so many outside of the Order.

These thoughts were interrupted once the club's music grew faint and eventually died out once they made their way down the stairs and through an automatic door. Their walk down through a narrow, dimly lit hallway was met with various hisses from the pale and grotesque faced Vorcha that sat along the hallway walls, and Cetea largely ignored them. "I should look into a helmet..." She muttered, then she held her breath upon finding a pair blue armored and helmetless batarians making their way past several stores occupied by small crowds of humans browsing through a holographic catalogue.

"There, we should keep our distance and see if we can follow them to a more [i]isolated[/i] area. Though it would be wise to spread out." Cetea whispered at Azumi, before breaking off from the group and moving through a crowd of varying human males and females walking beside her group. All the while Cetea kept her eyes fixed on the two batarians who seemed to be conversing as they moved towards the market's exit.

[i]They're going to the Slums... How fortunate.[/i]

Azumi nodded, looking back to the group remaining after nodding to Cetea. She had a frequency to reach her on anyway. The woman motioned to the others, for them to split up into groups of two. With two fingers, she pointed to each pair. Zero and Lieutenant Hawkeye to take a route on the batarians' right. Cheryl and Kalas to take the left. Isaac and herself to take the back and monitor.

Isaac was less than enthusiastic, but whispered to Cheryl. "Be careful. Can't kick my a** if you get caught," he said. "Plus, someone hs to keep him in check." With that, they continued forward a bit, avoiding some crowds, but nothing important.

Kira spoke into their radios, all who had them save Riza, anyway. [i]"Don't ask who I am, just know I have the contact frequencies and beacons on all of you, so make sure you don't screw this up."[/i]

Azumi rolled her eyes. Encouraging as ever.
