"How should we do this? Just ask "hey, are some resistance fighters here?"" Flake asks
"What else should we say?" Kyron asks
"New faces...you're here for one of two things, and it d*mn sure ain't for looking at the sights" An older woman smokes a cigarette
"Oh, ma'am, can I ask you where the resistance is?" Clara asks
"Give it up, ya f#cking pieces of corporate dogs" The lady rolls her eyes
"Ohhhh, you're talking about the two corps, right?" Carry asks
"The hell else I'd be talking about?" The lady asks
"I don't know, maybe the cute puppy store" Kyron steps closer to her
"You think you're a tough guy, do you?" The woman puts her hand on a katana on her back
"Oh god, I'm so scared, you know, I don't think I mentioned how good you look, you don't look a day over 60" Kyron takes out a pistol
"ALRIGHT, NOW, WE DON'T WORK FOR ANY COMPANIES-how about we start over, my name's Flake, and we're here to look for the resistance, help them out, then maybe have them help us" Flake gets between the two
"Yeah, if you help us out, you'd be doing nothing but helping everyone, back on our planet, we've got the leader of this whole invasion trying to take over our planet" Clara adds
"Oh really? Okay, what's the guy leading all of this's name?" The woman asks
"Ultimas, he's one of our friend's brothers" Carry answers
"You actually know his-okay, where are you from, where is he?" The woman starts scrolling on a phone-looking device
"Earth" Flake explains
"So maybe you're telling the truth" The woman raises her eyebrows
"Can we just get some help from the rebellion?" Clara asks
"Maybe, we've still got our own problems, one of them involves getting back some robots, and another involves waiting for some companies to decide who's on our side or not" She states
"Not a no, what's your name?" Kyron slowly puts his gun away
"Carmel, just think of me as a spy for the rebels, don't worry about being conspicuous, everyone here is with us" She reveals
"Great, Carmel, nice to meet you, Carry is the blonde, Clara is the one with glasses, and Kyron is the odd one out" Flake explains
"Just you four?" Carmel asks
"Nope, we've got a bigger group, a lot of them went to check out the weapons you guys got, any way you could tell us where to find the rest of the rebels?" Clara asks
"Maybe, you know, we could actually use some new people, Bioware and Gears might not know you guys and you could infiltrate their place, let us get an idea on who the goodies are, also we've got a more...serious problem" Carmel plans
"The robots?" Kyron asks
"How did you know about them?" Carmel asks
"We do our research" Carry smiles
"Well yes, mainly Aphrodite and Demeter, they've been taken away to Gears, the weapons company" Carmel explains
"What about Hermes?" Flake asks
"That's a bigger issue, he's nowhere, we can't find him, but neither has the companies, which is...okay" Carmel answers
"Alright, so our best option is to wait, I take it?" Clara asks
"Yeah, you know what, just...I feel like I can trust you for some weird reason, I don't get it, but I'll show you our base, c'mon" Carmel starts walking
They start walking toward the bar
"Wait...do you hear that?" Clara stops
Shouting and broken glass come from inside the wooden bar
