Arcane frowns as he sat on the floor at the bar, his hooves trying to feel and work the horn plate on his head. He didn't find anyone else at the bar so he can easily summarize that he's the first one there and won't have to pay. He groans in pain as he felt something dig into his horn and frowns annoyed at the offending piece even though he can't see it.

His hooves slowly work at the part, trying to get the piece out of his horn before groaning again when it touches a sensitive part. "Dang it. The one spot he had to hit."

"Hey, cap," Dadea calls as she and Jaix walk up. "Got done with ours. Anything bad on your end?" she asks as they sit on the stools.

Arcane huffs, still working at the armor piece. "Well, one of those idiot goons almost got me. Hit the plate though and now a piece is stuck in me and I can't get this stupid thing off me without causing great pain," he angrily explains before smiling to her. "Other than that, nothing too bad. What about the prices?" he asks calmly.

Dadea sighs as she slides off the stool and walks over to him, holding a hand on his head to hold him steady. She hums as she looks closely at the shredded part of the armor and spots a shard of metal digging into his horn. "Jaix, hold his head steady…and make sure he doesn't shake," Dadea says to the trandoshan who blinks toward them and then gets up. Arcane blinking as well, as Jaix wraps an arm around his neck and under his chin, holding his head straight up.

Dadea smirks while morphing her omnitool into a pair of mini pliers and leans in close. "This won't hurt at all boss," she says getting it closer to the shard and digs into his horn.

"YEOW!" Arcane yells as he felt the heated hard light dig around and grab onto the metal. "Take it easy!" he orders, trying to keep still. The pressure building around the spot as Dadea starts to pull at the shard. "Oh…not there!" Arcane calls when he felt the light bump against the inside of his horn hard and makes his whole body take in a shiver. He desperately tries to hold himself still while the two worked. Then he feels a strong building pressure against the wound until it was relieved.

"Got it!" Dadea cheers as she holds up the piece and looks closer at the small shard. "Geez. Too much trouble for this little guy, huh?" she asks, trying to see if there were more pieces. Only to find none while Jaix lets go of him.

Arcane groans as he rubs his horn. "Thanks," he sighs, finally able to slide off the horn armor piece. "Note to R&D, make better armor around sensitive areas," he says to himself, looking at the stricken spot that left a small gash in it.

"So what was everyone's payday?" Nesa asks as she steps up and sits beside them.

Arcane smiles. "Got mine. A full ten thousand."

"Got the prices and part we so desperately need. Oh, and helping Jaix grab a guy. He disappeared a minute later," Dadea explains, gesturing to Jaix who hums while everyone looks to him leaning against the bar.

"Ten thousand," Jaix adds his reward to the pile.

Arcane smiles. "Now all that is left is Mevea with her reward."

"Here…five thousand," Mevea says frowning. All of them looking towards the turian as she held a frown at being the last one.

"So we got twenty-five thousand. We should put most of it towards upgrading our ship," Dadea says.

"Seconded…we need it. Especially the obvious one." Arcane agrees. "Anyone else disagrees?"

"We need to set some aside for food and ammo," Jaix adds.

"And basic supplies besides those," Nesa spoke up.

Arcane smiles. "Well, there is one I know you guys won't argue with. A round of drinks," he says tapping a hoof against the bar table. The bartender seeing them finally ready to have that round Arcane made and goes to grab them. "A toast to our first successful missions. Oh, and my big brother for getting us these missions in the first place."

"By the spirits, why not?" Mevea sighs, sitting down next to him and grabs the glass as they were each slide over one.

Dadea shakes her head and grabs a glass. "To our first success and your brother." Jaix hums as he holds up his. Nesa merely holding up hers.

"Here here," they all say and Arcane puts his glass down. The others drinking down the shots and slam the glasses down onto the table. "So…in the meantime, what are you guys going to do?" Arcane asks.

"I am going to our ship. Jaix, Mevea, you both come along. We might be doing business, but I don't want Eclipse messing with our ship when they deliver the goods," Dadea says collecting the credits.

Jaix and Mevea get up and start to follow her. "Good luck guys," Arcane says waving a hoof at them before turning to Nesa. "And you? Going for medical supplies? More missions?"

"What about you?" Nesa asks.

Arcane shrugs. "Might look around for some more missions, relax, take in the sights. Not usually off the planet for obvious reasons."

Nesa slowly nods before getting up and leaving. She taps his shoulder while taking the last glass and drinks away. "Enjoy yourself. I will see if other missions can be available for us."

Arcane nods while watching her leave and then sighs and hangs his head. His mind starts to swarm with what missions they might get and what might happen to them. He saw the little recording from Dadea of how Jaix just chased down the guy like nothing. While Mevea, without her knowing, had her truck record from emergency cameras on it. And what he saw was that they fired on her truck without her even landing. So if she was hit, it would have been worse and she might have been forced to land in time to heal up to make it back.

'There has got to be an easier way to make money,' Arcane thinks.

"Well, hello there. You looking for some company?"

Arcane sighs and turns around before stopping. "Hello?" he asks, looking around behind him.

"Down here."

Arcane slowly turns his head downward and sees a red unicorn mare looking up to him. Her outfit obviously was based on the dancers in the whole club but made for a pony for her hooves and tail. At best, he can describe it as something like a swimsuit from his angle as he looks down at the mare. But it seemed more like a full-body skin-tight suit with the chest area and flank cut out. Her chest exposing the fluffy coat built up, but seems more collected in that spot. The flank area wrapping around her plush size ass to her legs, leaving her flank free to the air for many to enjoy and watch. Skin pressing panties also covering over her flank, almost barely covering her protruding ponut that was partially shown on the sides and puffy pussy. Though for her crotch tits, he can only guess that they are half covered like the normal outfits and being pushed out slightly to show a bigger size than normal…or maybe smaller. The mare's light brown mane and tail blowing slightly in the artificial breeze. Her turquoise eyes staring up at him warmingly.

"A…" Arcane starts and the mare giggles.

"Any equestrian who comes by and sees me always asks the same thing," she giggles. "So, are you looking for some company? I doubt a pony like you, especially an alicorn no less, would want to be completely alone in a place like this. Being alone is more for the sleeping drunks and idiots who don't know where to keep their hands," she describes, nodding her head to the side and he sees the sleeping human in question. "Or would you rather have a more traditional flair?" she asks, looking over to a group of dancers obviously in wait in a corner as they give a wave at her while they smirk.

Arcane looks back to the mare and shakes his head to get rid of the surprising thoughts running through his mind. "Well…why the fuck not? Okay. I'll pay for an hour," he sighs and hangs his head.

The mare smiles as she hears a beep from her mini omnitool on her hoof and leads him down to a little room with only a bed, couch, and a table with a small bottle and glasses. The whole room is bathed in low red light and the lightning from the view of the window. "So where shall we start? I can do some fine dances for you and…?" the mare stops as she turns around and sees him already sitting on the couch and leaning back in it, looking like he's sleeping. "Are you okay?" she asks sounding concerned.

Arcane slowly breathes out. "I only bought an hour to get away from the noise. You can relax. Right now, I need to figure more things out before I can head out again," he explains, slowly turning his head back to her. "In the meantime, why not relax too? I would think you deserve it," he says shuffling over and makes more room for her.

The mare smiles gently and climbs up beside him and sits down on her flank as well. "You're a first. Usually, they tend to get grabby."

Arcane cracks open an eye at her. "Grabby huh? Who are your usuals?" he asks, his gaze trailing over her form and traces the lining of her outfit on her legs and flank. Even seeing two noticeable mounds pressing against the lower half of her outfit. But he quickly looks away when she looks at him. "They usually rough?"

The mare slowly nods. "Yeah. I get mostly humans. Seems they want a little of this flank," she jokingly says, giving a light tap to her slightly exposed flank. She then smiles up at him. "Next is Krogan and Asari. Rough and very loving at the same time. Though not as much exploring. But enough of my sex life. How about you?" she asks chuckling to him. "Only male alicorn around, you must get a lot of mares and maybe a few exotics," she winks with a flick of her tail.

Arcane scoffs and smiles. "Yeah. And all the trouble that came with it," he sighs. "Doesn't help I got gold diggers and those that didn't really want all the attention once they got into it. So…I mostly gave up," he sputters.

The mare gives a smirk. "Oh. Rumors were going around that Blitz's alicorn son was gay." Arcane slowly looks down at her and gives an unamused expression. "Yeah. Mostly forums and chats. But…" she starts smiling, "seeing as you are staring at my flank a lot, I doubt that," she says giggling at his small surprised expression on his face.

Arcane shakes his head and looks away while she leans over and giggles. "Not the right pony or girl in any case."

She bumps her flank against his and makes him stiffen up slightly. "Well, you bought my time. Maybe not for dancing or fucking, but I can be a good friend if you need. Might give you a discount next time if you are looking for it," she whispers teasingly before pointing between his legs. "And your friend agrees."

"Gah!" Arcane yelps, closing his legs and blushing as he tries to not be embarrassed. "Are you always this brash?"

She giggles again. "Only if you want me to. So…what else do you want to talk about?"

Arcane sighs and slowly relaxes again but keeps a leg up to hide her view of him. "You wouldn't happen to know any reputable contract and job brokers, do you? My team needs more missions to work with."

The mare hums as she brings a hoof to her chin. "There is this griffon…"

"That's my brother. Already got the first ones from him. Have to find the rest on my own," Arcane quickly interjects.

The mare sighs and hangs her head. "There is a salarian in the lower wards who is the go-between agent for stuff. Though, it's mostly talks when I listen in on calls," she winks, her ears flicking up to him and he smiles at the sight. "And there is a big one the merc groups are talking about. But they won't say much. If you want, you can ask them," she says shrugging. "I know it won't help you much…" she starts to apologize.

Arcane smiles at her. "Nah. You helped a ton. I can work from there and see what we can get. Next time our next round of missions are done, I'll buy another hour for you and give you a break. I actually like talking to someone who doesn't look or treat me like royalty."

She shrugs while waving a hoof around. "Please. On this station, your rank doesn't matter. It's all about surviving."

Arcane slowly nods and looks her over again. "What is your name? I forgot to ask all this time."

The mare hums calmly. "Ruby Daisy. Sounds like a stripper, huh?" she chuckles at.

Arcane chuckles along. "Yeah. But, to be honest, most of the names we all have can be turned into a porn star."

Ruby laughs. "That's true. I am sure even Princess Cadance already has a persona out there for one. And do," she says, still laughing.

Arcane blinks and leans towards her. "Sorry?"

Ruby hums as she notices the stare. "Really? You didn't know? Try looking up porn videos and movies on the princesses. Tons of them are on there. Really grew when the changelings became our allies," she informs.

Arcane slowly blinks and leans closer, taking a quick look around to make sure nopony else was listening. "And…Princess Twilight?"

Ruby raises an eyebrow amused, knowing he is her son. "Princess of Friendship. Take a wild guess where most of her genre lies when they make some. Famous is zebras."

Arcane slowly blushes bright red and starts to stare straight ahead. "I can never bring this up with her."

Ruby gives a comforting pat on his side. "Hey, it's all fake. Mostly by changelings and other actors who look very close to them is all. So relax. I doubt your mother would do that since she's married to Blitz. Now that's a hunk."

"That's my dad," Arcane points out.

Ruby still smiles. "I know. Want to just relax now?"

Arcane slowly nods, leaning back in the seat. "Hey…thanks for the information on the agent and groups. You saved me a lot of time and trouble."

Ruby shrugs, leaning back as well beside him. "It's no problem. My job is to make sure the customer leaves satisfied."

Arcane hums, looking towards the locked door. "Well, consider me satisfied," he says before closing his eyes to get some quick rest.

Ruby nods, giving small pats to his side. Though her eyes kept looking over his large form and notes he is actually big for his size alone, much less his age which she can guess is his early twenties. So she doesn't know what those mares were thinking. This stallion is a hunk and a very nice one at that.

"Please stop looking there."

Ruby snarks and giggles as he moves his leg back up.

"That…is one of the easiest jobs ever," Arcane states, looking down the Blood Pack hallway as a loose varren is running around and causing chaos. A crowd of soldiers trying to follow and catch it, but they can't as it jumps and runs on the walls from time to time. "Seriously…I thought it was worse from what that guy described."

Dadea yelps as it runs past and makes her land over his back. "Do you even know how varrens usually are? This one could be rabid."

"Nah…he's just bored," Arcane shrugs as he watches it run past again. "He thinks everyone is playing along. Clearly, the alpha hasn't got to him fully yet."

Dadea now sits on his back, watching as the varren kept tearing up the place. "So how the heck are we going to catch it? Your magic?"

Arcane smiles and steps in front of the path of the varren. "Nah. Just a hoof," he says raising a hoof and makes the varren slide to stop once it realizes Arcane wasn't moving. The other soldiers either sliding past after a failed dive or stopping behind it as well as they watch. Arcane chuckles as the varren sniff his hoof and he starts to pet it. "Yeah. Who's a good boy?" he playfully says, scratching it behind its ear. The varren pants happily, trying to lick at his hoof. "You're a good boy, aren't you?" Arcane kept teasing, moving his hoof to its stomach and scratching there. The varren easily falling and rolling over as its hindleg starts to kick around. Clearly enjoying all the attention it's getting. "Yeah. You're a big tough varren."

"Heh. You have done this before, haven't you?" an older krogan asks as he walks up.

"Of course. The family pet is a varren," Arcane informs.

The krogan roughly hums as he watches the varren fall to the pony's whims. "I already placed out the award for ten thousand to just wrangle this thing. But you make it look like child's play," he says before frowning to the rest of the Blood Pack members. "Why can't you pyjak shitstains do what he does? He's clearly not afraid of one measly varren and yet you all run with tails between your legs. If so, I might kick you out and just employ him. Seems he's got a good head on his shoulders."

"Who loves the scratches? Who loves the scratches?" Arcane still playfully asks the varren who has his tongue rolled out and panting away while on the ground. Dadea gives a shrug while sitting on Arcane's back as she looks apologetic to them all. "You do. Yes, you do."

"So pyjak, what is your pet varren's name?" the krogan asks.

Arcane smiles up to him. "Terran. He's my dad's pet. But became the family's. He's such a big happy loveable oaf," he desires, giving more scratches to the varren under his hoof.

The krogan stopped dead and stares at Arcane. "Tell me pyjak, is your father Blitzkrieg?"

Arcane gives a little grin. "Did I forget to mention my father is the commander of the entire military force around my home planet?"

"He is so much more than that," the krogan says as all the blood pack members looked afraid of Arcane now.

Arcane smiles and looks proud. "Yeah. He's a cool dad. One of the best. Isn't that right boy?" he asks lifting up the varren with a hoof on top of his leg and the varren barks, happily hanging onto him playfully.

The krogan slowly turns around and walks back into a room. "Let's get your pay," he calls.

Arcane smiles as he puts the varren down and it starts to follow him, running around and through his legs. While Dadea stays on his back, still apprehensive about the varren looking a little too happy.

The krogan hums as he grabs a credit chip off the table and tosses it to them. Dadea easily catching it and looking it over before pocketing it. "Ten thousand. As promised. If you are still interested, I got more jobs for you…and a favor to ask of you."

Arcane hums. "Okay…what are you asking for?"

The krogan sighs. "I got a couple of my guys who went rogue. They are using our name to get themselves rich and everything. I barely have time to hunt them down. Take care of them and I will pay seven thousand. Fair?" he asks with a huff.

Arcane smirks. "Even ten and it's a fair deal to me. I'm sure it's like one thousand for each head."

The krogan gives a low chuckle. "Can't anything past you. So yeah, ten of them. As for the favor, can you get me in contact with your father? Want to ask about his varren."

Arcane grins now. "Really? You want my dad…for Terran?"

"Prime breeding material kid. If we have a few varrens from that one, we would be unstoppable and highly regarded back home," the krogan explains.

Arcane stares at him before laughing. "I can get you the number, but you are not going to like the answer."

The krogan growls and narrows his stare at them. "And why's that?"

Arcane smirks. "Simple. Terran hasn't shown any interest in any females. In fact, he mostly is retired and just lounges around the house. Though he helps with my brothers and sisters and keeping them corralled while my moms are busy."

The krogan huffs and squeezes the table he is leaning against.

Arcane rolls his eyes before he brings up his omnitool and sends it to him. "There. His number. You can try it. But I doubt it will happen," he warns as the commander's own omnitool beeps. "We'll go take care of those guys now and be right back," he says turning and walking out.

The krogan slowly dials the number as the varren happily runs around them before he pets the little guy and pushes him back towards the sleepy and tired varren pack. "Sith Master Blitzkrieg's office. How can I help direct your call?" a hissing voice asks.

"I need to speak to him about his varren. Tell him it's the commander of the Blood Packs on Omega," the krogan replies.

"One moment," the voice says before there was a click then another pickup. "What is this? Another favor you guys want or repayment from me for busting up your wards?" Blitz asks, clearly sounding annoyed and disinterested.

"Hi dad," Arcane says over the call.

Soon Blitz's face appears on video, his expression seemingly stone face. "Ok. What did my son do this time?"

"Stopped a rampaging varren in our place," the krogan says simply.

"Ok. I don't need to send the fleet then," Blitz comments.

"That's just mean dad," Arcane says almost playfully.

"Really, I wanted to call you about your varren. Wanted to make an offer," the krogan explains.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as Terran comes in view and almost pushes him out of the way. "Terran, down boy," he orders and Terran sits down on his lap. "Fine. What's the offer?"

"Need some varrens bred from him. Hoping to gain some good strong ones for my group," the krogan explains. "I can get the females. All I need is the male."

"Terran," Blitz asks, leaning over to look closely at him. "Do you want to breed some females?"

Terran turns his head to look at him like he's daft and jumps off his lap.

"There's your answer," Blitz shrugs.

The krogan grunts annoyed before Arcane leans over into view. "Oh, Terran. Can you come back, boy?"

Terran barks and kicks Blitz's chair away and leans onto his desk. His face a little too close. "Silly boy. Can you do it for me, please? Besides, you need a break," Arcane asks smiling.

Terran stares at him before giving a rough bark and sits down behind the desk. All before Blitz uses his magic and rolls his chair back into view. "I'll take that as a yes," he says sighing.

"Do you want to bring him here or take the females there?" Arcane asks.

"Best to be here. Besides…we have the magic and we know how regular varrens can get," Blitz explains and the krogan chuffs in agreement. "Yeah. Don't want to risk a literal planet exploding here. So, will see them soon. And don't do anything to tick us off or I will order Admiral Spike to make a bombardment on your ass."

"Oh, he's not joking about that part," Arcane says smiling before walking away again.

"Also, do I need to know why that girl is riding you?" Blitz calls as Arcane leaves.

"Varren around us. She's a little scared. No biggie," Arcane calls back.

Blitz hums and the krogan hum back. Then they both turn off the call as Blitz looks to Terran and Terran stares back. "Sure. Listen very well to the kids but not me. What do the foals have that I don't?" he asks sarcastically to the varren.

Terran whines cutely up to him before panting as normal and then laying down.

Blitz groans and hangs his head. "Yeah. I can't compete with the foals' cuteness."

"Nope. But you do have handsomeness," Twilight says walking in. Terran quickly noticing her and walks out while shutting the door behind him with a leg.

Blitz groans and lands his face down on the table. "Seems the kids beat me before they have even grown up in one area. Controlling Terran."

Twilight giggles and Blitz looks over to her tiredly. "And it seems our son is gaining traction much faster than expected."

Blitz nods while looking her over. "Did your flank get bigger?"

Twilight grins. "Why do you think I'm here?" she asks, using her magic to shut down the room.

Blitz slowly grins along. "Best part of the days."
