Ouray Inn (iRP)

[shemkel]

Ronnie was listening to Sonya carefully. He wasn't surprised really. The girl sitting across the table seemed dangerous to him since he first contacted her by neural net. Pulling out a battlecruiser right out of her pocket was something he was expecting. Kind of. But a battlecruiser isn't exactly the type of ship xenos would use. And Ronnie wasn't sure if it makes any sense. Yeah, it could deal some serious damage to whoever they would attack with it. But it would get destroyed by Liberty Navy very fast. Mhm... maybe the Order could help about it? They have that cloaking technology, they use it on Osiris class which is even bigger than libertonian battlecruisers...
But still... one shouldn't use a flamethrower to light a cigarette.
"Battlecruiser, huh? That's quite a ship. But what would we do with it? You surely know that using it against any Liberty assets would make all the Navy hunt for it. I'd give it twenty four hours of life at most after that... And unless we'd extract the crew somehow, they'd all die probably..."
He filled up Sonya's glass and - as there was almost no booze left in the bottle - he emptied it in one shot. He looked around for the bartender but couldn't find him. I hope Ava will come soon and bring a bottle with her... he thought.
"So let's leave the cruiser where it is now. And let's focus on our targets. I know we both want to cut the LSF's head off. And it's not an easy task. I'm sure Leroy won't risk hanging around in a guardian... Capturing him, even killing him, will be really difficult. We could try to do it - by deception - and it's where your cruiser could come in handy. But the question is - what then? If we will risk many lives to achieve it, I wouldn't like it if he was replaced with another cheap, corrupted bitch as him. Do you have anyone that could replace him?"
Ronnie leaned back inhaling with the cigar smoke and exhausting a large, blue, aromatic cloud.
He was pretty sure that Sonya knows she can't take over the LSF. Mhm... does she...?
