"if you are scared, feel free to wait here. I didn't ask you to come after all, and well they might sell you into slavery or just kill you. As I said earlier, these are not nice people which is probably why I get along so well with them." She pushes the door open without a further word and vanishes into the cavernlike storehouse her heels clicking on the worn floor, truth to be told she was far more nervous then she let on. The message from her contact that he had just the mech she had specified for such a prize really could only mean that he needed something in return. And considering the type of people they where the prize would be rather steep, it always was.<br/><br/>"ahhh Lady Miyoko, a pleasure to see you as always." the man steps out of the shadows wearing a cheap suit that does little to hide his growing gut, the two men that follow are clearly bodyguards judging by the amount of muscle moving under their clothes and the blank look on their faces.<br/><br/>"Spare me, you said you found a raven that fit my specs?"<br/><br/>"oh in deed, but first... I have a message for you." He takes out a hologram and turns it on, a short flickering appears before a young Kuritan man appears above the holographic projector. Clad in immaculate clothing that speaks of a vast fortune he seems to regard the recipient with a stare that is totally devoid of life. Miyoko hisses in surprise and takes a step back at the image, someone she clearly knows very well.<br/><br/>"hello sister dear, you didn't think I would just let you wander into the barbarian countries without keeping an eye on you now did you? Don't worry, father is dead. I killed him well.. I was about to say a few days ago but I do not know when this message will reach your ears, so well... he is dead. And no my hold on the family isn't strong enough to lift his banishment of you, but you will serve my needs much better where you are anyway. Lets face it, with these so called clans invading who knows when I will have the need of a mercenary and her contacts. But I must say the reports of you just being holed up and being all depressed isn't making me happy, snap out of it! Stop acting like some lowly Steiner! Now I heard you needed a new mech so here she is, I ordered the techs to remove the launchers for a missile defense gun instead. All the wiring structure is renovated and she will serve you well sister dear.<br/><br/>Now, well... you know what you must do."<br/><br/>With that the hologram flickers off and she is left feeling dazed, she looks up at the three thugs with a little sad smile on her lips.<br/><br/>"yes brother.. I do."<br/><br/>"So it is true then, huh.. well I for one am looking forward to this. Your brother is an odd man to give his sister like this."<br/><br/>Exactly what the deal was Janos perhaps will never know but the meaning is quite clear by the hungry looks the men give her as she leans down to move her kimono aside to expose a long leg, then with a quick tug she draws the monstrous handcannon and it roars out as the first barrel empties out and one of the bodyguards comes apart in a welter of blood as the high explosive round impacts into his shoulder and tears his entire side apart.
