| 1 | - | 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. |
| 1 | + | To Riza's irritation at half the group vanishing, Cetea could only feel a twinge of worry. Azumi's tone of voice did little to mask her anger, and it wasn't like the sergeant to abandon a mission unless it was absolutely necessary. Whatever had happened was not good, and Cetea was half tempted to leave Omega right then and there in order to help her CO. [i]No. She can handle this, this is my mission. I need to be some sembiance of a leader here...[/i] She took a deep breath and pushed thoughts of Azumi's departure out of her mind. She didn't have a helmet, so she couldn't give any words of encouragement. This was probably for the best though. |

| 3 | - | 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. |
| 3 | + | Walking to the end of the alley, Cetea was meticulous in scanning the area. In the excitement, she had lost track of the two Blue Suns mercs. Though finding them was only half the problem, they needed a plan. "Understood, Zero. This will not be complicated. We will follow them to the Slums district, which is sparsly populated. There, we corner and incapacitate them without causing grievous harm. We will interrogate them at the same time, with one of the two being used to pressure the other into giving us the information we need about Vido's next 'meeting'. Afterwards, we silence them both so that our plans remain secret." She was silent for a few seconds. "...And Riza, you followed us of your own free will. We did not force you to come, and not once did we even consider asking for your help. It was your decision to have a part in our business, and you are free to leave us at any point. [i]I[/i] for one would prefer that this mission be handled by just Zero and I, and if you prove to be a liability, it will not be your decision whether or not you accompany us any further. I hope we have a clear understanding on this." It was surprising to hear herself talk in such a cold and calculated manner. It seemed that the Order was changing her in more ways than one, for better or worse was yet to be decided. |

| 5 | - | "There, we should keep our distance and see if we can follow them to a more isolated 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. |
| 5 | + | Then she caught a glimpse of two men in blue armor who had just turned a corner, past a batarian standing on a podium. "There, stay close." Cetea whispered, leaving the alley with quick but measured footsteps. |
