At least his question got a reaction from everyone.  This needed to be solved sooner before it boiled over to blows, or shooting in the ship.  That tension was obvious with the looks between each other  and the captain of the ship.  Kala actually felt like the tension in the air was thick enough to cut with the dullest knife possible to find.  she actually shifted a bit where she stood, squirming a bit because she was an outsider that would probably get left if it was decided.<br/><br/>The reply from Mickey actually got a grin from Darion at the audacity of speaking up to a commanding officer.  He didn't say anything as the speech went on.  After he was done, Darion couldn't help but give a little clap for a short moment before going quiet and watching the captain like Ahsana and Firas.  At least it didn't look like the captain was angry with what Mickey said, and his blatant disobedience.  Interesting, but at least the captain thought about it.<br/><br/>Kala looked away when she was mentioned, but didn't say anything when Taseer mentioned her.  The Asari was correct about her.<br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">“No, I have no plans of selling you out.”</span>Was all Darion said in reply to Shira's question.<br/><br/>After that he just listened as the captain spoke, and grinned at the circling each other comment.  That was a good one, and when he thought about it, made sense and did seem like what they were doing with this group.  Then he listened to everything else until his turn came.<span style="color: seagreen">“Yeah, I'm in...”</span>he paused and grinned again, before speaking up.<span style="color: seagreen">“Plus Sorv came up with a good reason to stay around if nothing else.”</span>he was referring to his comment about Ashana's ass of course.<br/><br/>After that he fell silent again as their speaking continued about following in the tracks of the assassin.<span style="color: seagreen">“Well, past the very good chance of getting extra holes put into us, I have no good reason to not go after that guy.  Ashana stole my chance to get up close and personal with that assassin.  I'd love a chance to kick his ass.”</span>Darion agreed with everyone else.  Round 2 sounded good.  And he knew what he was saying was empty bravado that he couldn't backup against who that assassin was, if his earlier estimation of the assassin's skills were correct.<br/><br/>Everything about their finances and their lack of payments so far came up, Darion groaned a bit at being reminded they weren't payed.<span style="color: seagreen">“Fuck, that's right, noone was payed yet for any of these jobs.  I was thinking of getting a little of that money to buy some explosive components.  I could have put together some plain grenades, or flashbangs for all of the ground team for use on our missions.  I didn't see anything but the supplies I brought for my own in the armory.”</span>he grumbled out loud as well, thinking something like that would have been very useful during their chase of the assassin.<span style="color: seagreen">“I don't have nearly enough to even maintain my supply of my Hellfires.  Let alone spare any for repair equipment the technicians need for the ship, or purchasing new guns at all.”</span><br/><br/>At all this talking about money for repairs, and equipment Kala seemed to squirm where she stood a little more and tried to make herself appear as small as possible in the corner near Taseer.  In her mind she was arguing if she should speak up about the credits she had kept in her pocket after the incident on Illium that got her stuck here.  She hadn't returned the chit, and had kept it hidden with all her other things.  Her problem was she still wasn't confident that they wouldn't turn around and shoot her at her first mistake.  She didn't want to give up her only bargaining chip if she did make a mistake that pissed them off in some way that made them want to shoot her.  That money was the only thing that she could use to make her disappear.  Of course if she wanted to stay unnoticed, she wasn't doing a very good job of it.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
