Hello, I'm Niko Bellic. And I'm in charge of the Cargo Bay...

Except, I do not think I want to be. I have been working there for eleven months. [Back when he wanted to avoid fighting, when he wanted to attempt his route of being peaceful and avoid conflict, it had been helpful. Even more so when he wanted to avoid his initial job in the then-existent bar; yes, he sometimes drinks, but he couldn't tolerate the constant presence of habitual drunkards. Alcoholism never left good impressions with him. Being given the Cargo Bay position had been great. He had quiet time, could drive loaders, could do mindless work. But now? Not so much...] If I go, though, there will be very few other workers to handle everything. [And he's not such a prick that he'd leave them to suffer the work alone.] Would anyone be willing to go in there? Because I would like to do something else now.

Also after this whole ship rearranging thing, it has been a lot of work, I have done a lot of moving, and I would kind of like to play some darts or something. [This grumpy Serb just sounds tired as hell today.] Luckily a game that doesn't require any power to play.

Let me know, ah?

I'm down, man. I don't think I'll have time to work in the cargo bay as well as the radio, but I can make sure to broadcast the need frequently until we get enough volunteers!

[he appreciates that it'll probably be hard to find replacements... all he can do is hope for the best for this guy.]

[vengeance_driven]

Thanks, man. Is good to know.

It's not that bad a place, really. It's just that my head is somewhere else now and is... not really what I need. If that makes sense. I don't know. Even when I talk in my native language I am not sure of what I'm saying.

[wallride]

The place doesn't have to be bad for your feelings to be legit. Everyone needs some time off now and again and it sounds like you're well overdue for yours, man.

Meet you there?

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah, it's still in the rec room.

I'll be there.

[Man he misses beer. Beer was easy. He didn't think he'd miss that bar so much. Or the cafe.]

[ryuuzaki]

How are you at table tennis?

[redshitlord]

Ooo, sounds good man.

You sure you don't wanna keep slinging packages around though?

[vengeance_driven]

I don't. Neither does Tailgate, apparently. He hardly ever shows up for work.

[Yup, Niko's gonna tell on him.]

[vengeance_driven]

Never tried it, which means I could be very good or very bad.

[redshitlord]

... Dude.

That's just rude. You should yell at him.

[vengeance_driven]

I yell at so many people over the Cargo Bay, I genuinely think a job fighting or flying will be better for my temper.

[alterplex]

Didn't know there was a way to change jobs.

[ Because this is what he's choosing to focus on, good work, Venom Snake. ]

What's the procedure like?

[redshitlord]

... You can have flying jobs?

[vengeance_driven]

A lot of moving things. Organizing. Putting stuff so that it doesn't break. People get to use loading equipment.

But sometimes there are super human fights or people set it on fire or people tranquilize guys [which it was actually Big Boss that tranqed Bruce Banner but Niko never found that out]. Sometimes invasions.

So it uh... I guess it's pretty good for people that like that sort of thing every once in a while.

[vengeance_driven]

Yeah, I'm a pretty good pilot. And really good with land vehicles.

[redshitlord]

...


I want a flying job. Dude, if you get one, see if you can get me up there too.

[vengeance_driven]

Well, I have to apply to find a new job. And hopefully find someone willing to do this one.

[alterplex]

And you got bored of all that, huh.

[ Despite sounding like Niko's had front-row tickets to all these fiascos?? To be fair, Venom can appreciate that that might not have been what the guy signed up for. ]

[vengeance_driven]

I didn't really get to see any of it, just clean up after it.

I take it that you don't remember me? Sometimes people do when they come and go, sometimes they don't. You're Ahab, am I right?

I was roommates with other you.

[alterplex]

[ —Ah, this again. ]

'Other me'.

[ He parrots, and it almost sounds like a sigh. ]

Yeah, that's one way to put it. Sorry that I don't remember.

[vengeance_driven]

Hey man, don't worry about it. At this point? I have have seen four Steve Rogers, three Tony Starks- no wait, it is four Tony Starks now, three Buckys, a few Shepards, I am friends with Snake but that is not alternate universe that is just shit being fucked up, and two Garruses.

Even more people than that too. Don't worry about it, I'm an old hand at this now. You're either the same guy who doesn't remember or a slightly different guy who doesn't remember. You still settling in are you up for a game?

[alterplex]

[ Okay, wow, that's. A lot of words to digest.

There's a tangible pause on Venom's end, and the only thing he has to say about this, in the end, is: ]

Darts?

[ Hopefully Niko's familiar enough with Snakes that he knows that they ask a lot of questions. ]

[vengeance_driven]

[Oh my god this one does it, too. And he's finding he's getting used to it.]

Yeah. Darts.

I brought a board from back home when I had the chance.

[He also might have stolen a whole pool table for the ship. Yup.]

[ Side Mission 01: "Diamond Darts"

・Engage Niko Bellic in person (Mandatory)
・Engage in a round of darts with Niko Bellic (Mandatory)

Something we used to do as roommates?

[ Just one more push. ]

[redshitlord]

Psh, who applies to anything? Just go grab a ship and start steering!

Nyooom!

[vengeance_driven]

For those people that don't come as machines, it requires training.
