[b]Anumi, mistaking it for a tribe of savage natives, ducks into the undergrowth and watches cautiously in the shrubbery.[/b]

-
[b]A voice is heard behind you, and it speaks[/b] "Don't move"
-
[b]Anumi flushes pale. How'd she let that happen? She was out of it. Her senses were off... She waits in silent anticipation, not moving a muscle.[/b]
-
"Now, you're going to tell me why you're stalking our peaceful settlement before I feed you your teeth"
-
[i][u]"I just s-stumbled upon i-it. I honestly meant no h-harm."[/u][/i] [b]Anumi quivers in fear.[/b]
-
"Alright, fine, I'll believe you" [b]he says, walking beside you, his body covered by a black cloak, and his face concealed in a shadow the hood casts. [/b]"Names Hunter. And you would be?"
-
[i][u]"Mad Hatter. Merc Corp. What is this place?"[/u][/i]
-
"A settlement, friend of mine runs it. We're holed up here for a few days until we can get the hell off the planet"
-
[i][u]"Right. What are you doing here in the first place? This planet isn't very friendly."[/u][/i]
-
"That's the point. HQ sent us down here as a training exercise"
-
[i][u]"HQ... You must work for someone big..."[/u][/i]
-
"Fireteam November, yes"
-
[i][u]"The Fireteam? Do you know a man named Lucien?"[/u][/i]
-
"Yeah, he's one of our doctors, why?"
-
[b]She lets out a sigh of relief.[/b] [i][u]"Thank goodness... I'm not too late... Listen, be careful around him... He's unstable... I'm going to call in to my superiors and get him out of here..."[/u][/i]
-
[b]A black hilted, blue bladed sword forms in his right hand, and he presses it against your throat[/b] "I will not have you touching any of my settlements soldiers, are we clear? This also includes calling superiors"
-
[b]She flusteres and shivers.[/b] [i][u]"You don't understand... You don't want him in your camp... It's for his good as well... Please, understand..."[/u][/i]
-
[b]He pulls it away[/b] "And why should I trust a mercenary over a soldier, hmm? Humour me"
-
[i][u]"He's god damn broken... Literally... You never know who you are talking to... He's killed a lot of people... Things you wouldn't expect from someone like him..."[/u][/i]
-
"I have noticed this... Erratic behavior. You got any rope? I can knock him out and extract him here, if you want?"
-
[i][u]"Don't hit him! That can cause him to change!"[/u][/i]
-
"Who said he'll notice? I can hit him so hard he explodes, but I'm only knocking him out. So, shall I?"
-
[i][u]"No! I can get him to come peacefully. Trust me, we are on your side."[/u][/i]
-
"Fine. So what, I lead you in the base to him?"
-
[i][u]"No... I'll drop by later. I'll get him out... I can be persuasive."[/u][/i]
-
"Fine." [b]he says, and he walks in the settlement[/b]
