Outside New Paso
Near the New Paso entrance to Sub-Harenae
“You sure this is the place?” asked Roger.
“Yeah,” replied Mark. “This is where that PHU guy said we'd meet.” He turned to Roger. “You have the package?”
Roger showed him. They waited for about ten minutes when a mutant walked into view.
“Freak!” shouted Jeremy, the third member. He shot at the brute. It pinged off his armor. The mutant chuckled.
“I thought you might try that,” he said. “You USRC types are so judging. Give mutants a chance.” The laughter died in his voice. “Especially if they're helping you get something that belongs to you.”
Jeremy lowered his gun.
“What do you want freak?” spat Mark.
“I'll let the words pass. I'm here for the package.”
“You? I was expecting someone else.”
“No. I'm the one who radioed you. Now, do you want in or not?”
“Very well. But this stays between the four of us, understand mutant?”
The beast grunted. “You didn't tell anyone, did you?”
“No. Roger, Jeremy, and I are the only ones who know about this.”
“Good. Cause I can tell if your lying.” The mutant turned around. “Follow me.”
