Claude fires Matt for asspulling.
Lol'd.

          Chalk walks into his quarters, walking over to a panel on the wall, opening a built in safe-like locker, removing his mask and quickly taking another mask out and placing it over his face, inhaling sharply and allowing the suction to keep the mask on his face.  The mask quickly fogs up, shrouding his face.  He then walks over to a holo-board inside of a small lounge area.  He taps a few buttons on the board, and slides some things across.  A screen projects itself on the wall, and Chalk looks up, examining it.  He hums quietly to himself, the sound muffled behind the mask.  He then taps the screen a few times, and sighs to himself, standing for a moment, a dial tone ringing through the room.  He walks away, the board disappearing but the screen remaining there.  He begins walking around the apartment.

The phone in Claude's HQ Rings. Claude picks up the phone.
"Hello?"

"I understand you have a contract open...?"

"I understand you have a contract open...?"
"Indeed we do. What is your price?"

"What exactly am I looking at in terms of manpower?  Firepower?  What is the location?"

It was a bloodbath. Both Southern and Northern blood was being sprayed everywhere by the barrage of bullets and lasers and paper airplanes. Even normal looking people got a taste of the action, grabbing whatever lost weapons they could find and firing at anyone that wasn't familiar to them. This was like D-Day all over again. The Northerners ended up busting out the big guns, and by big guns I mean explosives. Each explosion took out a chunk of the Southern crowd. Well I wasn't doing anything productive, so I rushed down into the depths of the ship, searching for an armory. The one I found was completely ransacked, aside from a few guns on the floor. The best I could find was a poop bolt-action sniper with about a dozen bullets. It was better than nothing. I rushed back up to find the Southern crowd quickly decreasing in size due to the explosives. Lucky me, I could see the men wielding the explosive launchers from where I was standing. "Here goes nothing..." I muttered, lining up a shot on the closest target. I fired. A quarter of a second later, blood flew out from the new opening in his head before he fell. The Southern crowd, now not exploding, managed to gain quite a bit of ground when the man was taken out. Confident with my ability to hit people standing still with explosives in the head, I readied my second shot.

"What exactly am I looking at in terms of manpower?  Firepower?  What is the location?"
"You're looking at 50 men, 1910-20 Tech, location is near the big burning wreckage of a resturant, a newspaper factory."

"You're looking at 50 men, 1910-20 Tech, location is near the big burning wreckage of a resturant, a newspaper factory."
"Ah... the South.  Hrmph.  No problem.  As for the price... fifty men, say... .45 ACP... perhaps, three hundred?"

"Ah... the South.  Hrmph.  No problem.  As for the price... fifty men, say... .45 ACP... perhaps, three hundred?"
"Deal."
Claude's gang begins to rob more stores.

          Chalk nods, and walks back over to the screen, pressing a button and hanging up without another word.  He then goes to his private quarters, and removes his exoskeleton, climbing into a pod like device and connecting several pipes to the ports that his exoskeleton "plugs" into, and closing the pod.

I kill more people with my laser rifle.

I leave because I SUDDENLY GET FIRED BY GOD

I fired my second shot. I was confident I was going to hit my mark, but the wind must have caught the bullet. It grazed his shoulder, which forced him into cover. He was still firing off explosives, but now I couldn't hit him. "FFFFFFFffffffff."
I go for the third, and last explosive wielding Northern person. I fire off the shot. Right in the side of the lower torso, which made him jerk his arm as he fired an explosive off. It landed almost dead in the center of the Southern crowd. Today just wasn't my day.

          Chalk jerked awake the next morning, panting slightly.  He calmed down and disconnected himself from the pod and getting up.  He put his exoskeleton on and walked into the lounge, pressing a few buttons.  There was some shuffling above, and Chalk went over to the safe-locker, opening it and removing his mask.  He took off the one he had on, and put his tactical on after placing the other in the locker.  He then left his quarters and went to his roof, where  his pilot and guard met him.  "You two got the breifing?" he asked.
          "Yes, sir." they said in unison.
          "Good.  Let's go." Chalk then said, and they boarded the transport, which took off moments later.

Both groups were visually decreasing in size. I had no idea how many more would be behind the walls, could be thousands. I may have gotten myself into a situation I wouldn't win. I threw down the rifle and ran off to the control room, hoping that I could get the ship out of here.
