After Party

[Sasha Santhe]

Sasha sighed as she looked at the device in front of her. It didn't work. She let out a sigh. It actually did work of course, after all she designed it, however it had been improperly stored and her assistant set up the power supply wrong despite his instance that he knew what he was doing. An attractive body and pretty face could only get someone so far and she fired him there on the spot. Another big sigh escaped her lips. At least she tried the device before her presentation. That would have been unacceptably embarrassing. Even more embarrassing than requesting her presentation be delayed.

The Solar Ionization reactor, the smallest her company manufactured and the tiniest she felt comfortable powering the device, was being pulled along on cart by a diminutive asteromech droid the device itself strapped to the top of the stable platform. And then it his Sasha, why not shunt the energy directly from the reactor into the device itself.

A little smile formed over her lips. "Yes," she said allowed taking out the power converted. It was after all the same type of energy she was already using, why bother with a conversion unit that would change it to something usable by other devices. "I am a genius." The woman had no shame. She turned abruptly at the sound of footsteps and saw a wild [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]!

Siobhan was here on business. Yes, the actual business that's about making fake money so that she would build toys of destruction and finance her expensive lifestyle. Well, come to think of it she was already rich and had lots of money, but more could never hurt, right? Anyhow, Santhe Corporation, which most recently was fighting a legal battle against Subach-Innes that terribly amused Siobhan since she did not like SI either, was working on a very interesting project.


Namely a Solar Ionisation Reactor. Siobhan was by no means a whiz when it came to tech matters but she could see some interesting possibilities for it and the corporate giant had already made a deal with the Protectorate about cooperation. Needless to say she was interested in being in on the deal. It had nothing at all to do with the Majority Shareholder of Santhe Corporation being, well, very attractive. Presumably Siobhan could not sense she's a darksider. Regardless there was fun tech to design.


"From what I've heard, that's probably true. I see the holovids don't do you justice," Siobhan said as she strode in, beautifully and elegantly dressed as usual, giving the woman a smile as she stretched out her hand to her. "Countess Siobhan Kerrigan. A pleasure meeting you."

 

[Sasha Santhe]

"Countess," Sasha said stepping forward and embracing the woman. She kissed her on either cheek before recalling and saying, "I am Lady Sasha Santhe of Lianna at your service." [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] was not an unattractive woman. Indeed many would consider her beautiful. Sasha enjoyed pretty things and had since she was a child.

The woman turned back to her experiment. "Do you like my reactor?" she waved her hand over to the device. "it is a stripped down I-f4b Solar Ionization reactor." She stalked around the device superimposing her body over it and smiled devilishly at the woman. "Of course that isn't the real show," she threw the power converter onto the ground adjacent to the weapon. "A woman with your reputation..." she leaned down and rubbed the device attached to the reactor, "I believe would appreciate some big guns."

It was a cannon. Scaled down slightly from its true design. "Solar Ionization Cannon, shunting power directly from the reactor and pumping into a ray of pure devastation." Sasha shrugged a little, "Tomorrow it will steal the show I'm sure you'll agree."

Siobhan was at heart a rather basic woman with clear tastes. Unlike two asexual and slightly genocidal human replica droids with plans of galactic domination she was also, well, not immune to the charms of someone like Lady Sasha Santhe. Unlike Sasha she had not been born in nobility but come from the gutter, though given the station she occupied now and the way she carried herself it was probably difficult to believe that. She also liked pretty things - and especially pretty ladies - a lot.



She leaned into the kisses as the woman's lips touched her cheeks and might have wanted the embrace to go for a bit longer than was appropriate. Even viciously scarred as she was, Siobhan was still attractive. "Oh, I find it appealing," she said as her eyes travelled over the reactor and her mind finally turned back to business. "And I do appreciate big guns. I can find plenty of uses for them. I've heard some references about such a cannon. Requires an extreme amount of power but the ionised light beam melts durasteel like butter and bypasses shields. Devastating for fleeting and space combat."

 

[Sasha Santhe]

Sasha smiled, she liked technology, and a pretty woman talking about it was even better. "Unfortunately they aren't really able to be scaled up much more than say a heavy laser in power so they will never be a regular weapon against large scale capitol ships." She patted the little cannon, "This scaled down version will have the power of a light laser cannon maybe a bit less, but drain about twice the power." she shrugged, "It is a power hog, plain and simple. I fear it will never see truly wide scale operation across the galaxy."

She rolled the cannon around and pointed it at the wall. A light shield erupted. The gun was set and primed. Sasha smiled, it was the sort of genuine smile that one got when completing an undertaking. It was the sort of smile that had earned her a reputation as a media darling. It was the type of smile some would kill for...

"Would you like to do the honors countess?" She said with a light bow. Something twinged in the back of her head and she saw the the glint of light out of the corner of her eye, "Down," she called as two blaster bolts shot at her head..."

"That's unfortunate, but still a catch. I imagine many will pay a hefty sum for it," Siobhan responded when she heard that the weapon would have to be downscaled and probably would not be a regular weapon against a large capital ship. Still the design sounded promising and she could imagine Firemane using it for its ships. After all, they were in a process of expansion and also trying to augment their product list when it came to combat vessels.



As for Sasha's smile it was certainly having an effect on her. Siobhan was a very prideful woman but also strongly given to her...more base desires. "Why, thank you, Lady Santhe," she said warmly, giving the woman a dazzling smile of her own as she approached the cannon and was about to press the button and fire the beautiful tool of destruction. Then suddenly Sasha called her to go down.



Timed seemed to slow. Siobhan had not taken her lightsabre with her because you did not go to business deals with deadly weapons like that. So what she did was quickly dive and push Sasha down into cover so that the blaster bolts should not strike her. Rather they slammed into Siobhan, or rather into an invinsible shield conjured up by her telekinetic prowess. The shield was basic and she was still thrust back hard by the impact of the bolts as they hit her, but they kept her from suffering grievous harm such as getting fried.



Fury surged through her being and she reached out with her mind as she beheld masked gunmen in the corridor, though doubtless there were more. With her mind she reached out to grab them and raise them into the air and smash them into the wall with crushing force, enough to break significant limbs and make the wall shake. Being very, very concussively unkind. You did not interrupt Siobhan Kerrigan doing a business deal. Especially not with a gorgeous lady! It was simply impolite.

 

[Sasha Santhe]

Sasha fell to the ground, playing the helpless damsel as best she could. She wasn't sure how well known it was that she had force training, most people probably believed it to be a rumor started during her teenage years when the tabloid craze first hit, but it never hurt to be careful. [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] was more than capable of handling a single gunman, if her reputation was anything to go by.

Soon Sasha found herself impressed by the telekinetic shield, and by the impressive display she showed in throwing the assailant across the room and slamming him into the wall. There was three men, three men to kill Sasha Santhe? It hardly seemed fitting. Sasha pushed herself up moving Siobhans body aside and getting to her cannon system. She pulled the cart and nudged the R2 unit with a mild display of mechu-deru, hopefully not enough to catch the countesses attention. The weapon spun toward the assailants and she looked down the barrel depressing the trigger...

And nothing happened. "Oh c'mon," she said looking at the carbon scoring on the cannon. "Can you hold them?" she asked as she started to pull at the wiring. She had to reroute power, and on short notice.... "I can get this working..."

Siobhan liked violence a lot. Perhaps more than was healthy, but then she could be considered to be a bit of a blood knight. She also relished it when people were impressed by her combat prowess. Likewise saving 'helpless damsels' appealed to her massive ego.


Given the fact that Siobhan was focused on the naughty rascals who had dared to interfere, it was quite likely that she would not notice Sasha's display of mechu-deru. Speaking of it, she really should not have sold the holocron of Belia Darzu because mechu-deru seemed terribly useful. Admittedly listening to an ancient Sith Lord was...probably tremendously ill-advised!


"Sure," Siobhan spoke simply as stretched out with her mind and sent a powerful blast of telekinetic energy surging towards them, enough to crush bones and rupture internal organs. Her use of the Force was primal and brutal, in her grasp it became a bludgeon, a hammer of power she used to beat her enemies to death. A grenade was tossed their way but she caught it in mid-air with her mind and sent it flying back to exploisvely impact as the telekinetic blast struck. A couple gunmen she could handle with ease.


Yet she felt a prickling through the Force, a strange sensation as she felt the arcanic energies of the dark side. There was something more than simple assassins assailing them...

 

[Sasha Santhe]

As Sasha manipulated the weapon system and reconfigured its power circuit she watched in muted awe the prowess of [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]. In nature the brightly colored, pretty creatures were often venomous. Pretty and deadly. That was an apt enough description for the telekentic warrior before her. Sasha smiled a little as another small group of men burst into the room. Siobhan wasn't the only pretty thing in the room, nor was she the deadliest. Sasha kicked one of the carts wheels causing the astromech to screech in protest. With gun lined up she fired the weapon.

A brilliant blaze of yellow pierced the air in a mighty lance of energy. The beam sliced at the men coming toward them through the hall melting their armor and slicing two of the three men in half where they stood. The third reeled from the attack and started running down the hallway. Sasha had no way of stopping him without giving away her secret. She bit her lower lip and frowned ready to pull at the mans ankle with the force risking exposure to trip him up.

She was saved however. The Malevolent power of the darkside crept into the room. At first it was a mere wisp of cool air sending a chill up her spine, but soon it was something more. Palpable darkness began to rise from the floor. "This is a spell," Sasha said backing up to Siobhan. "I recognize it from when the sith occupied my homeland." She left out her willing participation in Sith weapons development at the time and her rumored training under the Empress herself. "This could be bad..."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Sasha Santhe"]


Pretty and deadly was probably a very apt description. Watching the magnificient beam of energy lance across the room and quite literally melt the two assassins, roasting and slicing both of them in half was also incredibly...hot. Well, Siobhan thought so at least but then she blew things up for fun.



Unfortunately, she did not have time marvel at the carnage the ray of devastation had caused, much as she resolved that she really wanted a solar ionisation cannon like this. It seemed terribly useful for roasting people on the ground as well! Or droidekas becaus they were always annoying and seemed to exist in endless supply.


One last assailant, having survived the blast, charged. Siobhan was not conscious to the internal ponderings of Sasha or the fact that she was close to exposing herself. Then she tasted the malevolent power of the dark side. The surge of dark aranic energies swept across the building and filled it, so palpable that it seemed like a physical presence. She felt a cold a shiver as a wisp of cool air rushed across the room. It was deeply repulsive and yet the siren call somehow also had an alluring quality to it. She was reminded very strongly of Gehenna and the dark rituals being worked there.


The sensation made her angry and in a flash she seized the man's throat with her mind, telekinetic fingers tightening their grip around it in a fury and crushed him. Out of her daze she gave Sasha a nod as the woman spoke. Needless to say Siobhan would be oblivious to the fact that the woman had been an active collaborator of the Sith and also learned fun things from Velok and the Empress!



"Lianna? Don't worry, you'll be fine. I won't let anything happen to you. The magicks seem familiar to me as well. From the Bando Gora war. What effects did this spell have? Is it a summoning of some sort?" she said thoughtfully, cold eyes scanning the area as the sensation grew stronger by the moment. Aww, wasn't Siobhan being sweet and chivalrous? The dramatic irony is so heavy in this thread. "And can you access cameras from here? See what they're doing and how much of the building has been compromised."

 

[Sasha Santhe]

"The spell is some sort of palpable darkness. It weakens people who use the light side. Disrupts their connection to the force." Scanning the room she saw the camera's. She could access them with her mind, the alchemical modified chip in her brain and her skills at Mechu-deru, could do the trick, but that wasn't for now. She walked over to the console. "The spell can be different with different sith. Sometimes it can make a jedi drowsy, sometimes it causes them physical pain. I saw it once."

Cringing she ran to the control panel and started manipulating the device. She frowned, "Everything is cloaked in shadow, but there are figures heading this way." The Sith was subtle, wanted to weaken [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] but not reveal himself. "It looks like droids, old battle droids." Sasha knelt down and picked up one of the dead mans blasters throwing it to Siobhan and then rummaging around the floor for one to arm herself with. She picked up the rugged blaster, one of the K-47's her own company produced. She chuckled a little as she lifted the weapon up and aimed down the barrel waiting to see the soldiers coming down the hall...

"Good thing I've never claimed to be a light sider," Siobhan joked, probably rather lamely. This writer confesses to being somewhat mystified as to what the neutral force-user tag meant. Did it just mean no political affiliation to the Jedi and Sith force cults? Was there a grey side of the Force? These questions would probably not be answered in this thread.



A frown creased her features when Sasha said it was all cloaked in shadows and she looked annoyed. "I fething hate illusionists," she muttered. Mainly because she completely sucked at mentalism and as such was out of her depth when it came to seeing through illusions. Beyond using wide-ranged, area of effect lightning and telekinesis. She caught the blaster Sasha tossed to her. She would have really preferred a bolter but she had not taken one with her.


Actually, as a matter of fact, she would have also preferred some actual armour and because fighting in an elegant suit with a skirt was just...weird. And not very smart. At least she was not wearing high heels because that would just make the whole situation downright ridiculous! In any event she quickly moved to a table and aimed down the barrel of the gun as soldiers approached.


The moment the first peeked across the corner she squeezed the trigger and a quick burst of laser fire exited to blast him. Fire was returned and she took cover as the wall behind her was scorched with laser rounds, with her mind willing discarded blasters of the soldiers they had killed - or in the case of Sasha fried - to rise up into the air and turn on the charging soldiers. One of the tables in the room was lifted and propelled towards the attackers through the air at ridiculousy fast velocity with equally ridiculously extreme kinetic force to crash into them.

Select fire, Sasha remembered checking the side of the blaster rifle. She examined its power source, There would be plenty of shots. Holding the weapon in the proper fire stance she flashed back to her time as a child, her father teaching her to hunt...

The most dangerous game. She aimed down the barrel and let out a burst of energy. A multitude of bolts blazed down range at the assailants. One fell. Sasha took in a deep breath and exhaled as she depressed the trigger again. Another burst of fire, short and controlled. That is how professionals didn't it wasn't it? A miss, the shadow preventing her from

She moved towards her cart and reactor and draped her body over it using it to steady to her aim. The rifle pointed straight at the oncoming men and let loose yet another burst of fire. Something was wrong here. Sasha bit her lower lip, why were these minions coming from just the one direction. She didn't have much time to consider the possibilities as the answer hit her like a bag of bricks.

A telekinetic blast sent the young woman flying. She managed to brace herself just as she hit reducing the damage. Turning on the ground she could see the man, if one could call him such, standing before them. Mechanical bits protruded from his every limb and his cheek was split held together only by mesh thread. One of his eyes was likewise sewn open revealing a menacing red glow. A technobeast, a warping of sich magic and a techno virus, but there was something different about this one, it had once been a sith...

Zombies! Cyborg zombies! Well, that was sort of what technobeasts were. Now if only cyborg zombie ninjas could show up. Now that this writer has gotten their love for meta references out of the way, we can focus on the actual plot. Which at present required our pretty and deadly ladies, one of whom had mind raped Velok once - everything that happens in the Galaxy is Velok's doing -, to fight off a horde of naughty rascals who dared to interfere with the presentation of the ray of devastation.


On the positive side the solar ionisation cannon had gotten the chance to fry live targets.


Siobhan felt the rippled in the Force as the telekinetic blast crashed into Sasha and sent her flying, though it seemed the hit was mitigated. She was distracted for a moment and suddenly cried out when orange lines of force drain swept through the air and clutched at her, seeking to sap at her strength and drain the vitality that gave her such fuel. The onslaught made her angry! Mind worked over matter and she followed the ripples in the Force to the focal point that was seeking to leech her much like an energy vampire would. Siobhan hated energy vampires!


She beheld the biomechanical monstrosity, a technobeast. Mechanical bits protruding from every limb, cheek split and held together only like a mesh thread. More machine than human...if one were feeling poetic one might say it could be a darker reflection of Siobhan controlled through strings like a puppet. She felt the darkside emanating from it. Anger rose like bile from her stomach and it found an outlet as her mind grabbed the technobeas and lifted it into the air, telekinetic energy compressing around it as she poured her will into a force crush before slamming it back into the ground.


With such force to make the floor shake, tears and cracks appear in it. Lightning shrieked from her fingertips and surged towards it to blast its circuits and fry it.

 

[Sasha Santhe]

Sasha rolled as she saw the destructive force of Siobhan rip into the techno beast. This was a good thing. Sasha shot up into a kneeling position and shot her blaster around at the various minions still up giving the woman cover as she blasted away. Deadly [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"], was tearing apart her perpetrator with vigor. Stories of Roche filled Sasha's mind, she had received a full brief when she designed the Aleph fighter and heard about the womans fear in the asteroid holding off thousands of Sith soldiers. She alone was a well known quantity in the field reports that had floated around after the Empires fall, not that Sasha had allowed those to get out.

Blaster bolts struck out felling men until the room was clear and only the Technobeast, Sash and Siobhan remained. The darkness across the floor started to disperse, its master reeling from his defeat. No doubt he wasn't expected a master force user in the mix. Still his identity remained concealed. Sasha risked reaching out briefly with her senses feeling him fade away into the backdrop of a crowd. Impressed Sasha took aim at the Technobeast and fired at it as Siobhan crushed the pathetic creature and discarded it.

The great mechanical abomination fell onto the floor and collapsed causing cracks to appear in the tiling. Sasha stood up and walked slowly over to the downed creature. She stood over it for a second getting a good look at its face. An early experiment, one of her first since Velok taught her how to use Mechu-Deru. He had once been a Sith Knight and, after that before becoming a technobeast, a discarded lover. At least he would have liked to think so. Sasha raised the blaster and unleashed the remaining ammunition into the creature.

The conflict was over for the moment. A lul in action. She turned to Soibhan. Deadly [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]. Sasha walked up to her and in a completely unexpected action dropped her blaster and threw herself into the woman's arms compressing her lips against Siobhans. Violence and attraction, sex, a classic combination. A draw. Violence was foreplay in an instance and deadly [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] performed violence as an art... besides it was best to keep the woman off balance.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Sasha Santhe"]


Well, this was unexpected. But very welcome. Oh, so very welcome! Brutal violence and carnage all around her, omipresent danger...and a gorgeous woman in her strong arms, holding her in an embrace and pressing her beautiful lips to her mouth. From Siobhan's perspective the combination of violence, attraction and sex was not just classic...it was perfect.


The combination was erotic beyond words and without thinking Siobhan wrapped her arms around Sasha, enthusiastically returning her kiss stroke for stroke. Siobhan kissed the way she fought: fast and furious, with a passions that was almost ferocious. This was a woman used to getting what she wanted, who liked to think she conquered in the bedroom as she did on the battlefield. Little did she know that in a way she was the one being played and led. Or that the technobeast had been spawned by the magicks Sasha had learned from Velok, the destroyer of worlds Siobhan had fought on Metalorn.


So much irony to be found here. None of this was on Siobhan's mind as she eagerly sought to claim Sasha's lips while one of her hand snaked down her back to give her butt a good, firm grope. However, unfortunately everything had to remain family-friendly, lest a dark curtain magically descend from the skies and obscure whatever might happen between the two ladies, and very dimly she was still aware that there things to shoot out and evil Sith to kill. Said violent acts would be shown in detail, of course!


So, rather reluctantly, she withdrew her from Sasha, though her eyes showed clear lust. "You're magnificient and so beautiful," she said, licking her lips. "When this over...we really have to celebrate."

 

[Sasha Santhe]

Deadly [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"], her lips tasted like Sasha imagined they would, delicious. Everything was working to her advantage, keeping the woman off blaance and getting her little pleasures where she could. Then reluctantly the woman back. Sasha could see desire in her very eyes. Yes Siobhan was a Darksider even she didn't know it. Not that Sasha had any problems with that, but she enjoyed it nonetheless. "We can have a party," Sasha said staring at the woman and licking her lips, "When this sith bastard dies."

Sasha broke the embrace fully by going to the computer terminal and began a search. She of course knew where to look, having sensed the Sith before. "There," she said looking at the now unobscured camera feeds. "Dark figure running away," the man left the building and she flipped the camera to outside the convention center. "And heading right toward that criminal den..." Sasha frowned. "I was warned away from that club last night when I first arrived. Was told a crime syndicate ran it." She walked over to one of the corpses and kicked it, "I suppose that explains this muscle."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Sasha Santhe"]


Siobhan undoubtedly leaned a good deal closer to the dark side than the light. It was probably Tegaea who kept her balanced for the most part. Along with directing her towards indulging her bloodlust and love for slaughter in a productive way. Anyhow Siobhan was certainly liking the way things were going, even though unfortunately they had to break away.


"I like the sound of that," she said as Sasha licked her lips. She was probably imagining those lips doing...well, things to her that were not family-friendly and thus shall not be described here. She stood guard as Sasha walked over to the computer console and began her search there, though she could not resist the urge to briefly have her eyes travel over the gorgeous body of Sasha in undisguised appraisal. However, as pretty and deadly Sasha spoke she turned serious again, walking over to get a better view of the camera screens.


"Must be powerful if he can control technobeasts. Nasty buggers. He made a very big mistake attacking and won't live long enough to regret it. I'll kill him and anyone serving him," she said somewhat dramatically, but then this was Siobhan. "Got anything on the club's security, back entrances and such? You don't have to come, I can handle this."


Aww, Siobhan was being so noble and chivalrous! Well, that was one way of looking at it. She looked across the carnage they had caused in search of some decent armour. Going into combat wearing an elegant business suit was...not that smart, even with force-empowered shields. Speaking of her suit, it had gotten dust all over it!

 

[Sasha Santhe]

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]

The truth was he probably wasn't all too terribly powerful. At least in Sasha's mind. Most likely he was just clever. She knew the techno beast in question, an incomplete creation would be easy to control. What worried her however wasn't the techno beast, or even the Sith, but rather the building most likely filled with armed thugs. "Lets see," Sasha said cracking into the system. There was a basic floorplan with a back door. "There is a backdoor," she then stated aloud. She switched over to a camera in the building across the alley that looked back towards the club. What she saw was a heavily reinforced doorway. Frowning she then said. "And you without your lightsaber."

It was the sort of doorway seen on much more secure buildings, and then again it was a gangster hangout. Who knows what nefarious deeds were being done inside. "Thick door," Sasha smiled, "But wait... we have the perfect can opener," she looked back to the Ionization cannon. Even though it was scaled down if given enough time to charge it would be able to cleanly blow a hole through that door. "It shouldn't take much more time to get a second shot off." Small reactor, but still it was enough to power the weapon.

"But we don't know what we will face inside." A shiver went down her spine. There was a possibility that everyone inside was infected with the techno virus. That wasn't something she was looking forward to, and if they were she might have to reveal herself to Siobhan. Not that she necessarily minded revealing herself to the woman.... It was a well enough known rumor that she'd been sold to the sith to learn from them as a hostage in return for her companies cooperation. She could spin that pretty easy to this woman, maybe feint shame at her abilities, but still it was a risk not worth taking and no matter how good she was at hiding her aura and projecting a false lightside aura she didn't want to risk it. Not now. "At most there is probably what, thirty people in there?" Thirty Technobeasts. "I think we can take them," she slapped another powerpack into the infamous Kalesh Mark 47 blaster her company produced. "And they don't have cameras in the back, no doubt they don't want authorities to chance by video of whatever they bring in and out of there... We could take them by surprise."

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Sasha Santhe"]


Siobhan gave the camera screen a thorough look when the building was displayed. She cocked her head slightly as she examined the heavily reinforced doorway. Personally she was quite certain that she could simply tear the door open with her telekinetic powers given all the gates she had torn down. However, she liked the idea of using the solar ionisation cannon as a can opener. Moreover, it meant she could conserve energy.



"It will certainly give it one hell of a field test," she said with a short smile. She picked up on the uneasiness Sasha seemed to be feeling, though obviously Siobhan would be in the dark about its actual cause. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. None of them will get you. We break in and take them by surprise. Stay behind me. I can manifest a shield for protection and, well, if it's full with beasts parts of the ceiling falling on them won't be missed." Obviously Siobhan would make sure the ceiling did not fall on the enchanting lady!


"And we have a very sexy cannon." She bent down and picked up some powerpacks from a dead soldier. The move would probably give Sasha a good view of her...tight, very well-shaped butt. Especially since she was wearing a skirt rather than pants. "Didn't know the boss of Santhe was such a woman of...direct action. The tabloids really don't do you justice!" she said to Sasha with a bright smile as she passed two EMP grenades that she had found over.
