Without hesitation 013 and the soldiers had entered the shuttle and took a seat. With 013 taking a seat opposite of Sam, all the while holding onto the seat. 013 was beginning to regain his senses for the most part, but his wound was still nasty. Thankfully one of his soldiers was already at work removing the bullet from his shoulder before promptly putting a temporary bandage over it from their small emergency first-aid kits. It wasn't anything overly special to treat the wound, but with how tight they put the bandage on, it will at the least slow down any bleeding. All the while 013 was clenching his teeth as the bullet was removed. All the while holding onto the chair with his other uninjured arm/hand.

The man looked at the little girl, who was quite obviously the redhead's younger sister. The little girl's comment gave him a small smirk on his face due to it being... somewhat humerous. Either way he looked up at the red headed girl before looking at the resume's.

"Hm. I see. Well let me look through the computer real quick." He said as he stepped over to the small computer off to the side, as he did he began typing... Presumeably to see if there were any openings for the young lady.

Oddly, the green man didn't seem to be paying too much attention, as the moment Koi had opened the manhole cover, he had already jumped in. As such he didn't hear or notice Koi's quick observation. Seems like he might just be one step ahead of Koi, even if he doesn't mean to be.

Alex gave a small smile and a nod at the two as they were getting ready. "Wait jst a bit longer then." He said before turnnign his gaze to Jenny. "Catch." he called out to her before tossing his little pane of glass too her. He knew someoen with her reaction time wold probably be smart and fast enough to catch it with her mind and not her hands. he then went across both front windows from one side to the next, cutting out 2x2 squares in the windows. Each time he'd cut out a square he'd toss it back to Jen until she hand enough to cover the three of them up. "This should take care of any pesky infrared censors." he promised. "A little trick Staler taught me."

"Let's. Railgun's probably waiting for us back at home.", Jenny said as she followed Alex. Meanwhile, Jason looked at his water, then Alex and Jennifer, then at one of the store counters with a small box of gum. He took the juicy looking gum and placed into one of his tac-vest's loops before giving his answer.

"Alright, now let's go.", Jason said.

Koi quickly and lightly followed behind Bandit as they approached the sewer hole. Koi deftly lifted the lid and dropped it quietly at the side of it before scanning around a bit to make sure they weren't being...

A blur of motion passed Koi's enhanced vision, vanishing quickly as the blur darted across the rooftops above, too fast for even Koi to fully register it's shape. Dangerous, likely non-human, Koi thought quickly. Their eyes narrowed imperceptibly again before they leaned over slightly to Bandit.

"We's bein' watched. Act natural, but ready yourself for laters. I's got bad feelin'." Koi whispered quickly before they gestured towards the hole before speaking normally again. "After you."

Alex was hoping for an actual answer this time, but he wasn't too disappointed when Jason didn't tell him. "Fair enough," he said taking a moment to tilt his head to one side, then the other, causing it to crack and loosen up. "Just one more question." The boy said as he turned to the window of the shop. He took one finger from his good hand and placed it at the top of the glass window, using vector manipulation to move his finger down and straight through the glass, cutting it like a knife through butter. A two by two square o glass fell off of the window and into Alex's hand before he turned back around to face Jenny and Alex. "Ready to get out of here?"

Jennifer quickly began to put the medical supplies back into the case, all while intently listening to Jason and Alex speak. It would be interesting to hear Jason's answer to Alex's question, maybe even reveal something personal about this mysterious soldier.

Meanwhile, Jason was rather quiet about the question he had been asked. It was a rather personal question, yes, but he also did not know what he should tell Alex other than what he knew wouldn't jeopardize his family. Finally, he looked back at Alex.

"I guess we'll find out sooner or later.", Jason said.

Alex took his now bandaged arm and moved it around a bit, doing your basic moments to see if anything hurt. "Feels better already. Thanks Jenny." he said before finally standing up and getting off the counter he had been sitting on. "So." he said making sure Jason was paying attention. "What is it you're after? Freedom? vengeance? a revolution?" Alex asked, hoping Jason would be a bit more open to conversation now.

"True...", Jason said as he looked down to his water bottle. Now that he thought about it, he may have been injured too from when he launched that spear from his back. Because of this, Jason reached behind himself and felt around the area. The skin was exposed, but fortunately it had completely healed. He then pulled his hand away to see if there was any residual blood left over; none. Seemed he had healed on their way to the station, a rather convenient ability. He could use a drink of water though. The others could tell he was thirsty, but he seemed hesitant to remove his armor.

Once Jennifer had the bandages, she began to unravel them and wrap Alex's wound. It was done flawlessly, and thanks to them being self-adhering bandages, she didn't even need to tie it off or use a safety pin.

Alex actually seemed to be enjoying himself, despite the pain coming from his arm and the topic being a rather sad and annoying one to hear. "Psh, tell me about it. I've seen mall cops who employed better tactics." he said before taking another drink of his water. He gulped a bit of it down and then poured a bit of it on his head, letting it run down his back and chest. "But hey that's good news for us right? The weaker our opposition, the easier we get what we want."

Jennifer paused just a short moment for Alex to regain his bearings before she continued. After the wipes, she pulled out some antibiotic+soothing gel and put a streak of it onto a sterile wipe. She then gently and evenly laid the wipe onto the wound before spreading the streak out with pressure and finally busting out the bandages.

"Nope. From what I saw, there was not even a single injury. That, and they somehow managed to lose their tank from the get-go. Probably one of those crummy T-210's. Again, it would have been smart to keep driving. They could have gotten away... I'm not really complaining. I'm glad I was able to escape so easily, it's just that I expected more from them.", Jason responded.

Alex had been ignoring the pain from his wound up until this point. But the sudden sting from the alcohol touching his wound "AnnG!" he winced from the pain, gritting his teath for a moment as he got used to it. He didn't lose pace though, he kept talking with his new acquaintance while his arm was being treated. "did it at any point occur to them to fire the machine guns on their tank? I know the IP soldiers are fast and all but any half decent soldier could have killed at least some of them... Hell Jenny here could have killed all of them." he said seeming almost in disbelief at what he was hearing. He recalled a couple of the soldiers showing good gun control, which he respected. Had he misjudged them?

"Only if you say please. It's gonna sting at first though.", Jen teased as she began her work. First off, she took some antiseptic wipes and began cleaning the area, wiping away the blood around the wound and finally gently dabbing the wound itself. It would have stung, but not quite as much as it should have thanks to Jen's careful hand.

"None. Considering how quickly they took it, they must have run straight in.", Jason said.

Alex took a small break from his conversation with Jason to look over at Jenny. "Be gentle now." he teased before taking a drink of water with his good arm. "So you're telling me they didn't use any land mines or C4 or any type of trap. They reviled their location and attacked the tanks head on? Did they at least have some kind of cover? Sand bags? a riot shield, anything?" Alex asked, expressing his own passion towards the matter. Although he hadn't intended this, it seemed he found something he and Jason could see eye to eye on.

"None... Well, they did take out the tank and some of the soldiers, but the soldiers didn't really put up much of a fight anyways. They had every opportunity to sweep the treeline with the tank's .50 cal or their own guns, but they were taken by surprise. You should always expect to be attacked when on a convoy mission. It's called preparedness. Don't even get me started on their tech.", Jason said as he looked at his hands, almost visualizing how their defeat must have been like. It seemed that Jason was a little passionate about how they failed, how they should have been able to defend their convoy.

Meanwhile, Jennifer now had an opportunity to actually look at Alex's wound, and it looked nasty, far from fatal, but it really looked like it hurt. The exposed flesh made Jennifer wince just a little bit thinking about how it must have felt, but she was not about to let a little blood get in the way of her treating it.

"It's not bad, but it looks ugly.", Jenny said to Alex.

"Clearly." Alex responded agreeing with Jason's assessment of the situation. "Can't imagine why they'ed send a bunch of green horn soldiers to transport someone like you. The mission was doomed from the start. I bet you didn't any help from the IP soldiers did you?" Alex guessed as he took his good hand and lifted his now bloody sleeve so Jen could do her work. It seemed the bullet had grazed his arm, reeking off some of his skin in the process. There was bruising around the wound and it seemed the tissue under the skin was sore. Luckily it didn't seem any of the muscle tissue was missing. Alex had been trying not to show how badly this hurt, but Jen and Jason would have been able to see in the moments leading up to this that his arm was consistently bothering him.
