Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nemesis was exhausted mentally to a point where she had only slept for four hours in three days time. "You should sleep more" Mad hatter muttered in her ear. "That's why you're getting worse than me, that's a bad sign....A VERY bad sign. If you're coming up with methods of killing before I am, we have a problem."

Nemesis rolled her eyes at the bird "Do I need to keep you outside tonight?" She snapped at Mad hatter, irritated at his snide comments. She wasn't in the mood for it. She had more personal investigation to do tonight, and she had 3 days of research to do before she had to do a most likely failed surgery she was going to have to preform on an elderly woman with dementia. A cerbernetic brain?!?! How the hell is one going to take out the person's brain, make another one with all the neccisary chemicals, and make sure the person lives?? Why can't the family just let the woman live the rest of her years and just let her go? People just don't know how to cope with death.. Nemesis had a feeling that she was going to have to witness these people learn how to very quickly when she tells this family the news that there was nothing she could do for the woman. She straight up told them when the people and the woman asked for the presedure so be done "There's a 10 to 5% chance of survival here..I'd reccomend you do not go under this. It' something I have not done, it's something according to my records no one has succeeded in, and I honestly think you should try to just go to a doctor and get medication. I'm a cybernetic surgen here.. I don't know if I can do this" The family said "BUT WE WANT HER TO BE WHAT SHE ONCE WAS! SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER US! SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHO SHE IS!" The daughter of the elderly person cried. "People age" Nemesis did everything she could to persuade these people.. Dumbasses... was the only word she could use to describe these people.. At least she got them to sign the contract that if things went wrong she couldn't be reported.. This was their choice, this womans blood was going to be in their hands even if it'll be in Nemesis' hands literally..

"It would make no difference" Mad Hatter said "in doors, outdoors it's all the same. I don't go very far either way."

"Because you're lazy" Nemesis remarked. "You spend more time on my shoulder than you do in the air.. I'd kill to have wings..My body can't hold metal otherwise I'd insert metal wings into my back and fly if I could." She finished her last beer, paid the bartender, and tipped her nicely. She headed out the door. "So, while I was working this morning, what did you come up with for tonight Mad hatter?" she asked the raven.

"I say we leave the situation of last night's murder alone until something else happens since we found out he was worthless, but I figured you knew that..I say.. we find some prey!"

Nemesis looked at her claw and smiled at the raven. "I was thinking the same thing.... any research you found over the city?" She asked...

Mad Hatter laughed that sounded like a wheeze when they got back to their house. "This man, main crack dealer of the city I recently found his quarters.. but he doesn't deal out of them.. he goes to the same alley we found the hookers that night," he said. "He's been doing business for years, I flew into his house, and even found his residency lease, he's been in this town half your life.."

Nemesis smiled, "and you found he got a new shipment today?"

Mad Hatter laughed again, "He almost caught me as he was bringing it in,lucky I can fly faster than a man can walk."

Nemesis laughed again, "Perfect, what time should we do our services to the town?"

Mad Hatter thought for a second and looked at the clock "If a drug dealer gets away from the police as long as he has, he does it late at night, so I suppose we do our business at the late hour of 2 am...You should start sharpening that claw, and your scythe, I'm sure he's got bullets.."

Basil was walking down the street towards a pizza shop, hands behind his head, and his rhino hardy close behind "the gall of those jerks, signing me up for this, im a rhino corps officer dammit, not some run of the mill cop, not that there bad, just...ugh"

Hardy laughed "well thats what happens when you piss of your partners, maube you should be a bit less agressive here." usually a walking rhino would make atleast some loud noise on concrete, but they were trained to be quiet for feild purposes, well not when there runing.

Basil laughed "oh, your one to talk about aggressive, anyway, lets just get something to eat, the commander wasnt at the station, so we cant exactly do much there yet." he walked into the pizza shop, his cybernetic eyes hidden behind sunglasses, noticed the commander of the chasm city police siting with others his eyes also recognized, being a rhino corps officer can mange to be useful sometimes, he'd looked at there profiles and pictures, his cybernetic eyes memorized the info among the other things they could do.

he walked over to the table and looked at the cheif "well as odd as this is going to sound, im the rhino corps officer that was stationed here in the chasm city police department, if you havent looked at the files yet, there should be another copy sent to your computer." his eyes averted to the pizza, and he snatched a peice up "sorry, im starveing, im good for it." he rolled the peice of pizza up and ate it in one bite, which really wasnt bad seeing as he was as big as he was.

Hardy looked at him "you know that wasnt what i ment when i said be less aggressive."

Basil smiled with a small laughed "oh im sorry, i didnt mean to show disrespect, i said i was good for it, how about next time foods on me. things are run differently at rhino corps, im just use to it."

Hardy nodded as shai said hello to them.

Basil palmed his forhead "oh wow how stupid of me, not everyone gets to read someones files, let me introduce us." he stood out hands behind his back one wrist in the other hand and legs apart "basil vivek, rhino corps officer." he stood normally again "sorry habbit." he pointed to hardy "this here is hardy, my partnered animal...ummm yeah probably best if noone but me calls him fat." Hardy gave a glare at basil before basil finished speaking. "yeah the last guy was holding a gun to hardys head, and still managed to end up hanging upside down out a window by his horn, crying." he laughed.

Basil smiled takeing the peice of pizza that was slid accross the table and basicly feeding it to hardy, he could get it himself, but that would invovle his leg going on the table, and then the table going through the wall on the opposite side of him. "Rude, please dont think of it as being rude, think of it as a compliment, you beautiful ladies have such great taste in food that not only did said food attract another, but to the point that the other had to help himself to it. now i can see that my actions offended you, so please accept my most humbled appology, i couldnt bare to stay on the bad side of women of your caliber, it would tear me apart."

Hardy sighed "here he goes." but when Raya refered to him as fat he rumbled slightly towards her, he was better at dealing with athority than his partner, but still being blatantly called fat after specifically being told it would offend him, and when he had done nothing wrong.

Basil looked to raya more specificaly "oh yes i may be no superman, but with a cheif that seems so promiseing as you, i believe you could shape anyone into a superman. even me, with as many faults as i have." he sighed "im sorry, my own wishful thinking draged me to do something rude, i had hoped that maybe if you disliked me you might be able to send me back, but now that i think about it, that was stupid they would never accept that, i just feel out of place being sent here, it isnt what im suposed to be doing, no offence to you or your officers, you all have amazing records, and do great work."

Cyprus looked over at the bartender and nodded at him to get his attention. "Two beers please." He stood there and waited, eyeing the people in the crowd. Some young girl, to young to be in here, was doing some very interesting things with her body. Cyprus turned back to the counter. Some things he just didn't want to see.

He grabbed the two beers, layed down a twenty, and walked over to an empty booth. He set one in front of him, opened the other and put it on the opposite side of the table in which Aries quickly hopped up and grabbed it. "slow down there seabiscuit." Cyprus said with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah." Aries muttered as he sat down on the bench, his front paws on the table. watching him drink was hilarious, since he'd have to grab it with his teeth hold it with his paws and then tilt his head back. But never spilling any, that would be a waste.

Cyprus grabbed his beer, took off the top, and took a nice and slow drink of the cold draft. Tasted like crap, but then again, he'd always preferred wine. he sat there for about twenty minutes, slowly drinking his beer until it was empty. "Allright, lets get out of here." he said as he stood up yet again.

"But i like it." Aries said as he looked at the crowd of people. That girl was still doing things that would make her father cry. "There's soo much i could do."

Cyprus noted the look in Aries eyes. "Duly noted. not coming back, now get your bum off the seat and lets get some pizza." he said as he walked to the front door. Aries slid of the seat with grace, don't know how, but he managed, before slowly padding over to him.

"Come on, maybe i'll let you go back here. Scare some people." he said as though it were an extremely tempting offer, and to Aries, it was.

"Oh yes..." Aries siad with a wolfish grin before they both walked back into the night.

{( couldn't really think of what to write. ah well... )}

It was that time.. 2:am, Nemesis had everything packed up, amonia, first aid kit, gun, cell phone, in her bag. She shook a little as she prepared herself for tonight's work. She was nervous, but she knew that if she continued to be nervous there was a higher advantage for things going wrong. If things were to go wrong in anyway there could be many risks, being caught, death, or getting injured too badly. Death was the last of her worries of all these actually. She never cared if she went down during any of these said missions.

"You know if you keep piddling around he's going to run out of his stash and get away you know, from anything or anyone, and we're going to have to wait for a while till he comes back with another shipment..Don't you want this to be his last?" Asked Mad Hatter. He was always the one to make her work faster, she was scared honestly, but to tell him that would make things worse, and he knew how to make her more nervous. This was a game to him.. He loved to mess with her head, this was his idea of pregame work. She tolok a pill that she found in one of her cabinets, and lit up a cigarette as she was cloaking herself up, putting her glove on her real hand. She was ready, no turning back now.

"Alright captain Smartass, we're ready to hit the road," she sneered at him, annoyed with him basically being a pain to her. She hated it when he always prompted her on a mission she knew she had to do, working up the guts to do all of it was hard enough. Mad Hatter perched himself on her shoulder again. she locked up her house, and she set fourth for the streets.

Her face was hidden very nicely under her hood, she had her scythe tucked under her cloak against her back very neatly so no one could even see under it, it just took one cut of the string when she needed to with her cyberclawed hand. She kept walking into the slums of Chasm City, waiting to see the familar place of which they saw the rich man. She saw many hookers pass her by even on the way there. A strip club she remembered it was in the middle of, and an unoccupied building that had been unoccupied for several years. She looked at the alley, and it really did appear to be a big underground pharmacy of Dr. Feel Good right there. There were not only hookers but different kinds of men giving a bigger, stronger looking man money, and he would give them a bag of white rocks.

"Do I need to say that you found the target?" Mad Hatter asked Nemesis, as he flew off of her shoulder. "Stay behind the corner here, I'll let you know when this batch of customers leave, this won't be his last, so you're gonna have to do this quick when I come back and say go!"

A knot formed in Nemesis' stomach, she was terrified that all of this was going on.. She had not done anything like this, pretend to be a customer, and just snipe him at close range. Everything that she had done had been an ambush and they were all certainly dead. This man had a pretty close chance at survival considering that this probably wasn't the first time he had been attacked, a man that did business such as this. Right before Nemesis got too lost in her own thoughts Mad Hatter was back. "Go!" He snapped.

Before thinking she crept across the street into the alley where the man stood alone trying to look as nonsuspicous as possible, too late for that in his case with Nemesis. The man gave her an odd look "Whatcha need?" he asked, he was a bald big man that stood at about six foot.

Nemesis was so confused by now as of what to do.."Play along for a couple minutes," she thought. Whatcha got? he opened his coat that had several narcotics pills, coke, rock, what he was selling plus more. "You have quite the collection" said Nemesis looking at everything pretending to be interested. [b"]I do too.."

The man raised his eyebrow interest. He put his hand down his pocket, Mad Hatter was ontop of the fire escape above them. He knew she wasn't fulling him, he knew the man thought she was an undercover cop by now.

"Oh Really?" inquired the man.."In what? You in the market too? Let me see? Before Nemesis could get her scythe out the man moved forward and pistol whipped her right across the left eye. As soon as that happened out of sheer pain, rage, and fright for her life, Nemesis took her claw and forced it right into the man's hand with the gun, and put her gloved hand over his mouth as he was screaming. The claw went right through his wrist.[

Nemesis showed her face to him "Haven't your parents ever told you it wasn't nice to hit a lady?" The man's eyes were so wide with terror he didn't know what to do. Mad Hatter came down from the fire escape and went right into the mans eyes to make sure he couldn't see anything anymore. Her face was his last sight.

"Congratulations sir, your last sight is death," She got out her scythe and did the town her service. After the man was what she wanted him to be after she collected everything. With only pool of blood, his stash, and his skull behind. She looked at Mad Hatter and showed him her eye "No blood of yours on the scene, just you, take the gun though, has your DNA, we're gonna have to recycle that, soak that b***h in acid, then we can scrap the metal for surgeries.I didn't think you were gonna make it.. I need a bath.. and you need to stitch that wound up he got you bad! Can you even think straight?"

Nemesis was breathing heavy after all of that grinding they were at the surgery center now. "No, not really that was insane.Let's go home.. I gotta go to the bookstore tomarrow after I'm done at the art studio.To do that stupid brain research!"
