-Sup fleet network. If this is your first experience with ECHO Casting, don't be alarmed by the rudimentary, semi-holographic video you are being presented with. It's just how the thing works. It ain't pretty, but it will get the point across.-

Greetings. After a conversation with Ensign Navarro, and conversation among ourselves, myself and my fellow Vault Hunters have decided to make our services available to the fleet at large. There are a few words to describe what we do. Freelancers. Odd jobbers. Mercenaries…

Don't forget badasses. -Time for the small redhead to chime in.-

Let's be honest here, we're all pretty much amazing at everything we do, ass-kicking included. So if you think about it, this kind of a great opportunity for you guys, our faithful ECHO subscribers!

-Whoops, old habits die hard.-

I mean, potential clients, or something.

POTENTIAL REPAIRMEN OF THE MEAT BICYCLE!

-And then there was that guy. Who seems to just flail himself around when he speaks. Well, speak’s not a good word for it. Scream is.-

Right… all of that… Anyways, we are offering ourselves for private security, fetch quests, walking your dog, anything you can think of. We’ll do it, if the price is right.

COME ON DOOOOOOOWN! YOU’RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT! YOU SHOW US THE GREEN AND WE’LL SHOW YOU OUR MEAN.

-The redhead looks at him, then back at their audience- Isn’t this guy great?

Now, I realize that some of you have never even heard of us before. So. Hello to you, my adoring new subscribers! I’m essentially the greatest engineer ever. See this arm? -Gaige lifts up her left arm, which is entirely robotic.- Built it myself after I hacked off the original.

How freakin’ metal is that?

It’s… pretty metal. I mean literally metal. Ahem. -Maya awkwardly clears her throat.- I’m Maya. Hi. Uh… I’m a Siren? So there’s that. I can do cool… Siren… stuff… -And obviously still lacks experience with addressing a crowd-

AND I’M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAAAAAIN!!! [Close enough…]

And that’s Krieg. Say hi Krieg.

I’D RATHER SNORT A KNIFE INTO MY BRAIN!

O-okay, well… um… Yeah. That’s us. Vault Hunters for hire.

-Maya quickly kills the feed before things get even more out of hand.-

[[ ooc: blue is Maya, orange is Gaige, and red is Krieg. Replies will come from all three, some threads may be jumped around in. And a reminder that people cannot hear Krieg's [inner voice], so have at them! ]]

[Wow these people get busy fast. Flashpoint wonders if this is just an entrepreneurial side business or if it counts for the fleet's 'duty-time contribution' or whatever that slag is they were on about. Also that thing with the arm really is metal, sounds like something she'd do. However, all those questions get shunted into the queue in favor of the number one most essential top priority issue.]

He did not just say poop train.

[Firm denial right there. Because it's bad enough that humans don't have a clean burning fuel system and produce organic waste...but do they have to fraggin' share it everyone? GROSS!]

[fuckaccuracy]

You're damn right he did. It's kind of his thing.

[poop_train_conductor]

DID I STUTTER?! DO I NEED TO SHOUT IT AGAIN?!

[Please don't.]

[blight_phoenix]

You get used to it.

[mookwarrior]

[ In response a smallish robot holograph pops up, and starts asking questions. ]

So... are you guys always this zany when you talk to us?

[ The voice is that of the supply officer guy. ]

[fuckaccuracy]

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over how kickass we all are.

[care to try again?]

[blight_phoenix]

Oh! Jim! Um... Well, I mean, I wouldn't use the word "zany", but... Well, I we DO call Krieg "psycho", so...

[poop_train_conductor]

ZANY?! THAT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS WACKY! WE'RE SERIOUS BANDIT MURDERERS!

[video]

[driftlock]

How 'freaking metal' am I then?

[Because he'll see your arm and raise you his whole body. ]

Kind of moron cuts of her own arm?

[Deadlock: on the fast track to the diplomatic corps, obviously.]

Re: [video]

[blight_phoenix]

While you are, indeed, quite metallic, sir, I would strongly advise against pissing Gaige off.

[video]

[fuckaccuracy]

Lame. You're not the first douchebag robot I've met.

And look, it wasn't even that big of a wound. Barely went halfway into the bone and it wasn't like I really needed all that blood in the first place.

No big deal, right? I could've just treated it and gotten back to work. Or I could've built myself an awesome metal arm.

[fonewearl]

[Freelancing is a viable option here? Good to know, since Mirys isn't sure yet if she'd want to deal with the military, or even the militia for that matter. She's damn near certain that she'd be more-comfortable with working on her own, or maybe with a small group, but—

But then Krieg opens his mouth and introduces himself in a way that only Krieg can, completely derailing the Newman girl's train of thought for a solid beat or two by slamming into it with a whole different kind of train.



... Where was she? ... Oh, right. Freelancing. She should look into it herself, at the very least so she'd have something to do and hopefully not find herself being dropped off in the middle of wherever else come two months from now.]

I know you're fishing around for clients and not for help, but is anyone there gonna object to some extra hands? I did some work along those lines back where I'm from, and I dunno about you, but I don't feel like competing for the right to stick around here.

[She has a small feeling that she'll be kicking herself for this somewhere down the line.]

[blight_phoenix]

Well, there is usually six of us. So I'd think we can use the help... What are your credentials?

[fuckaccuracy]

Sure, knock yourself out. I'll probably need someone taking the leftovers while I'm out on stuff that's actually important.

[Gaige, that's not nice.]

[wizardsaregodtier]

[This takes a great deal of mental processing to convert, but Aibghalien churns it through and comes out on the other side with what he believes to be a relatively solid conclusion.]

You are what my lands would refer to as 'adventurers', or a very close facsimile thereof, then?

[fuckaccuracy]

[Welcome to vault hunters. And Krieg.]

That's a really, really less awesome way of putting it, but sure. You can call us that.

Re: [Video]

[blight_phoenix]

Yeah, well... Close enough, I guess.

[crux_npcs]

...Not exactly what I had in mind, Maya. But points for being unique?

-Ensign Navarro

Re: [text]

[blight_phoenix]

It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, either, but that's generally what happens when you add in the chaos factor that is Gaige and Krieg.

[plotblackhole]

You already know what I seek. I should reiterate that I will pay well for its acquisition but I'm not contracting anyone in particular.

[He really only addressed one person but the others are welcome to question in. Shu really doesn't mind explaining a second time.]

Re: video;

[blight_phoenix]

Trust me, my eyes and ears are seeking out any bit of info with regards to that. Nothing so far, though.

[video]

[knowdeathknowglory]

[There's a very pretty man on-screen. He's dark-skinned and wearing altogether too much neon makeup. His eyes are blue and phosphoresce slightly. There are six blue dots of the same colour surrounding his eyes (two on his forehead and two under each eye). His face is in a dissatisfied grimace.]

Eurgh. The loud one is horribly crass. Can't you shut him up, darlings?

[video]

[fuckaccuracy]

You're joking, right.

[It's a pretty shitty joke, if that's the case.]

/filtered to the vault hunters/

[phaseshifted]

...Krieg made it here too? How many of you are there?

/filtered/

[fuckaccuracy]

Far as I know, just us four. Hey, at least they have some good taste in who they bring.

[stimpakaddict]

[Well, two of these lot looked like Fiends, which was a touch off-putting, but they seemed to be... Friendly, somewhat. Maybe the word Gina's wanting is sociable? Not-strung-out-on-chems-and-murdering-anyone-that-isn't-one-of-them. Though she has her doubts about the shouty one.

However, the combination of their appearances and their occupation prompts a question.]

...Vault hunters?

[blight_phoenix]

The term doesn't make a lot of sense outside the context of our corner of the universe. Here, we're basically just odd jobbers/guns for hire. But I can explain the etymology, if you're curious.
