Helix Operatives: Creation

Feral Rodeo: Theon

It was later that day as Theon and the others were gathered for dinner in the dining room. The six sat at the long table, dining on a meal prepared by ARBDTE.

"Man, this is good. I forgot how good real food is," said Venic, quickly eating everything in sight.

"Yeah, being broke sucks," said Char.

"Aren't you dating the richest Anthro in the world?" Asked Venic.

"Yes, but my parents aren't exactly rich. I mean, I used the Anthro College Program to get an education."

"Argh, those things are a jokes and bait. They lure you into get a degree, no one will hire you, you can't cry foul because you were practically given the degree by the college for barely any cost. Then you can only sit in cardboard boxes in alleyways or run down apartments selling your body to cameras."

"I sold mine to much less."

"Damn, Theon, you got fucking lucky."

"Can we not talk about that?" Asked Theon as his eyes shot to him.

"Yeah, even though I used that same exact thing," said Divine as she played with her figners.

"Sorry but it's true," said Venic with a shrug.

"Well... It is..." chimed in Rose. "Hate to say it."

"Yeah, and if you go into a useless degree..." said Char after swallowing a bite.

"Like female dance therapy?" Asked Divine.

"Gender Studies is also useless," stated Rose.

"Well yeah. Just about anything that's not a STEM field or medical is useless now," stated Char.

"Actually, I hire all of those degrees... Some just wind up working at cleaning the floors. Of course, if it wasn't for that damn law that said that it's illegal to not have a Sinderlo working for you at all and if you don't you'll get shut down and... Fuck it, just fuck it all," said Theon with a sigh.

"Da, Universal Laws shit in Solva too," said Zeillian as he took a drink.

"Yeah, why are there different countries and flags if we're all ruled by the same Empire and Emperor?" Asked Divine as she talked with her paws.

"I don't know. Fucking Sinderlo logic," said Rose as she waved at the air.

"Bullshit everywhere you look," said Venic as he gestured with his glass. Their phones went off, each vibrating to a news update.

"A truck just blocked a major highway bridge leading out of the city and the drivers are armed, shooting just about anything. Sinderlos of course," said Venic with an eye roll.

"Looks like your first operation back," said Theon as he got up from the table. "Let's go." They left the table and hurried to the armory, ARBTDE keeping the remaining food warm.

"Alright, new armor and equipment to play with and another face on the roster," said Inferno. She was wearing a black head cover and an urban MARPAT tail cover with the black tail rings keeping them together underneath the cover. She had black ear plugs in underneath a large urban MARPAT helmet with a bullet resistant glass modified to fit over her eyes and muzzle that was tinted to block light. She had on a long sleeved urban MARPAT jacket with two pockets on the arms and the United Republic flag was stitched onto the right side of the jacket with a grey shirt underneath and a pair of urban MARPAT cargo pants. She had on a pair of brown steel toed boots and brown weighted gloves on her hands with her UND under her right glove. She had on a brown MTV with arm and groin protection along with brown knee and elbow pads. She had a brown leg holster on her right leg and a series of ammo pouches on her belt with a sheath on the right side of her belt. She had a grappling hook attached to her belt and the hook held onto the belt in the back. She had a Bowie Knife in her sheath, a few M18 smoke grenades on the other side, a modified M17 pistol in the holster, and her modified Mk. 17 Mod. 0 in her hands.
