Escape From Remnant: A Tarkov X RWBY Crossover

Chapter 59: Et Tu, Brute?

"What in the name of the Virgin Mary..." was all Peacekeeper could let out. All four men had just completely overwhelmed and berated him with their story in remnant. The device had worked, it did work, the concepts in that folder weren't mere gobbledegook but an actual real thing, especially when Texas showed his prosthetic arm. They could be faking it for sure, but what would the men genuinely gain from doing so?

It was too elaborate, and they all were corroborating each other's stories for it just to be a ruse and the information about another lab...Peacekeeper paused to collect his thoughts.

For one Peacekeeper knew about the other lab, there are more than those two laboratories that Terragroup operated out of. There was one under the resort in Shoreline, one way far out north from Tarkov city, and god knows how many more. Now, knowing about what went on inside and the location was a completely different story altogether.

"I know. It's fucked and crazy at the same time." Texas backed up, all the men had now sat down in front of Peacekeeper sitting in front of his half-eaten steak meal bringing over chairs to sit as they retold their story to him.

"And Ubel and Boris died before all of this shit could happen. God if those idiots...fuck..." was all Peacekeeper could let out overwhelmed by all of it.

"I mean we came here to fix it all. We need to get to that other lab Katya mentioned." Texas leaned over looking at Peacekeeper sunglasses to sunglasses and started to drive his index finger up and down on the makeshift table motioning each word he spoke to add emphasis to the point.

"We still need to get the girls back too." Akula drew attention to the girl's plight. They had been through enough of this hell and they needed to go home.

"Alright listen here. I can give you all the information about the suburbs lab. But...there's a risk. Terragroup knows, if I give you this information everyone could die and god knows what else they'll drag in. Family, friends, girlfriend, boyfriend...Everything I have will be on the line!" Peacekeeper states out loud to the men professing the great risk involved in continuing. There was something just off about everything he was saying, sure it was an excellent answer in that he's willing to give up information but it was too willing. Like surely he would be fearing for his life just like in the text message too right?

Akula noticed this and knew either he had ulterior motives or whatever he was getting out of this was enough to gamble his whole life for more than a gambling streamer on kick.

"Wait wait wait wait wait. You're telling us all these risks yet you're just willing to give us the information like this? I was expecting something more." He accused out loud.

"My benefactors promised me something, I can't describe it... It's beyond this world...if I die in this quest, it goes to my family. I saw it with my own eyes, the briefcase..." He had the picture of the reward in his head. He could remember the day that he had seen it, how he decided that even if he died in this mission it would continue on and his family would get it.

"Brother, you high or what?" Texas responded, seeing the way he spoke of it. One would think he was speaking about some Indiana Jones movie relic by how much he revered whatever it was.

"Look do you want the information or not?" Peacekeeper snaps following the attempted incrimination and Texas throws his arms up giving up on pursuing whatever Peacekeeper got out of this.

"Alright alright just give it to us!" Floridaman cut physically with his body between Texas and Peacekeeper to prevent anymore conflict from potentially hampering their chances of getting the information. To him this all was pointless, he was already willing to give the information and every single trader in Tarkov had some sort of ulterior motive at the end of the day. It was just a thing that came with the trade.
