"So basically you need me to attack a camp of those cyborgs to get some parts they stole from you, so you can get to work on curing a virus that doesn't affect my kind, but kills humans very easily." Xanthiana did not exactly like the way this plan was going.
"Well we did fix your car and give you medical care Ms. Roeyka." Eren was correct, the challenger had been saved, some front end damage but nothing too bad, and she claimed they had upgraded the engine, so she did technically owe them as much as she hated to admit that.
"This sounds like a little bit of extortion." Elly tried to plead differently, but Xanthiana told her to be quiet, she didn't like being forced into doing anything, especially since that's been the only way that she'd been having to do business since she arrived in Paradise.
"Well working with us does have its perks." Eren lead Xanthiana to Top-Notch's armory. There were a lot of weapons there for the very few employees Xanthiana had seen working for Top Notch. Eren withdrew an assault rifle and a pistol and set them on a table, then she pulled up a utility belt of sorts and some body armor.
"This will go a long way to making things even."
"Rifle and pistol are burst fire three round bursts, they use nano technology to tip the bullets with a little something extra, acid for the rifle, fire for the pistol, be careful their barrels can overheat. Body armor is standard issue Erep with some functionality increased for your ego device to harden impact zones and potentially stop a round from making it through. And finally the belt, its got a personal defense shield, limited rechargeable battery though, so you can't withstand sustained gun fire, but it should be able to help you get to cover."
"Well I have to say working for you guys is a lot better than working for the ereps."
"Private sector usually is Ms Roeyka. Collect your gear and get moving, the virus is spreading and you don't want to see what it does to people."
"That bad?"
"Hurry and you'll never have to find out." Xanthiana collected her gear and some ammunition and made for the Challenger.
"Elly pull up our objective I want to be back in time for dinner." And with that the Challengers engine roared to life and Xanthiana got back to work.
