At the words from Vega, Darion couldn't help but clench his hands to prevent himself from knocking Vega flat for spouting such nonsense.  Upon first meeting with the weapons dealer, he had thought he would be a man that he would like.  But seeing his begging before, and the words now, he was pathetic.  Of course Firas beat Darion to anything he had planned to do to vega with a punch.  Darion just grinned watching Vega fall to the ground.<br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">“One man who is more skilled and more well equipped than even the people you supply.  If you can't realize that, then you are not worth talking to.”</span>was all he said, before falling inline with the others for the shuttle, and the flight back to the ship.<br/><br/>...................................................<br/><br/>Darion stood to the side of the CIC, dressed back in his much more comfortable jacket, cargo pants and boots.  Finally happy to get out of that damn expensive suit, that really didn't work with him.  He had kept the rifle to cannibalize later, having hid it in the shuttle.  Some of the things could be useful at upgrading his own personal rifle, especially the Thermal Clip efficiency for his.  He hated the rare overheats he got that required repairs.<br/><br/>But that didn't matter right now as they were going through the debriefing, and Darion listened to everyone elses statements on what happened.  He really didn't have much to add when it came to him.<span style="color: seagreen">“My estimation of that assassin's skill is that he is, or was N7 trained.  He was too good.  Any of us alone he would have put on the ground as fast if not faster than he bested Ashana.”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">“And as Firas said.  He was supplied by someone with access to more tech than Vega or Cerberus.  Without me and Firas firing at him at the same time, he could have killed us before we even dented his armor...  I am never going on a mission without one of my Hellfire grenades again.  I could have countered that tech with those low tech grenades.”</span>he stated, thinking the shields would mean nothing against the heat produced by those grenades.<span style="color: seagreen">“I think the outcome would have been the same even if Cerberus hadn't interfered...”</span><br/><br/>he went silent after that, giving his own guesses to the situation.  Kala in the meantime stayed as far from the rest as possible, standing close to where Taseer was.   When the captain addressed her, saying they should thank her for the advantages they had, she just blushed.  She hadn't changed out of her basic cloths since the whole incident.<span style="color: sienna">“Well... umm... from what I saw... he was doing hacking that shouldn't be possible as fast as he was...  I know of nothing that can hack that fast...  I don't know how he did it, and I couldn't figure out without his omni-tool, or a few hours to completely investigate Vega's tower's security, with full access to everything.”</span>Kala said, not sounding completely confident with the attention on her, but telling the full truth from what she had seen.  After that she fell back to the wall, trying to get out of anyone's notice.  She had nothing else to add.  She thought that the assassin had known someone on the council was weird, but didn't have an input about that at all.<br/><br/>Darion watched the feed about what happened in that entrance hall and just was baffled, especially when the information that he was council showed up.<span style="color: seagreen">"That is what I saw happened, but how would council know him?  The only human with that level of skill that the council should know is Shepard... and that was not Shepard...”</span>Darion said for a moment, that is the most he knew.  Shepard was the only N7 human that Darion knew of that was personally involved with the Council.<span style="color: seagreen">“What the hell is going on?”</span>this was all a bit much for a soldier with very little experience with intrigue and black ops missions.  This seemed to be turning out to be that kind of mess.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
