Grunting, Ratarok took a quick look at the enthusiastic Human and stuck his head to the window. "I'll let you know once they start shooting. Fatherless bastards love doing that..." he commented simply as he kept his eyes on the Typhinx station above.
As Victoria was ushered to the front, the blue-tinted humanoid shows her his seat before motioning towards a blinking yellow light. "When you're ready, flip this. Visuals already disabled, just try to sound confident." he explained, his own confidence seeming to have already jumped ship.

(Do the PCs know eachother in advance? I'm assuming that they don't, for now.)
Jorim den Dathrag
After noticing that the female I had spoken to was the one to be in charge of the communication I immediately felt a pang of fear, given the lack of professionalism in how she had spoken to me. She'll need to be more professional in order to fool the Typhinx, or have someone else do it. I considered volunteering for a second, but ultimately decided against it saying a thing, as my accent is too strong for them to think me a human and a Pallyrian in this part of the galaxy would raise more questions than most would like to be subjected to here.

(Not necessarily, but you can have some previous encounter having happened before getting on the train, if you'd like. Like a slight... Acquaintance? I don't think that's the word I've been trying to think of, but close enough.)
(That said, Ratarok was on the train before getting hijacked, so he may be a new face if your char wasn't already aboard/part of the Defense.)

I grin a grin that those around here would think mania, if I hadn't put her hand over her mouth, having propped the shotgun in the adjacent seat, like a friendly co-pilot. Or co-diplomat.
"Don't worry everyone!" I yell, "I've got this under control! Just act cool! And calm! And.. erm.. collective!" With a loud exhale, my grin diminishes and I crack my knuckles, proceeding to flip the switch.

After the switch is thrown, a monitor on the leftmost side of the controls seems to flicker on, though the image far too corrupt to actually make anything out. Immediately, a voices echoes out from the screen.
"It's abou- What's this? Is your Galanet comm damaged?" The voice asks. "And screens are showing you moving east out of the Arid Dusts; Requesting Status Report... immediately."

"I don't think you realize the circumstances at hand." I muse, authority ringing in my voice, "the cargo I hold is in dire need of continuous transportation without fault, and if fault happens, then it's going to be your head on the line due to this infraction." Pausing, I let silence engulf him, and then make an unexpected demand; "Goddammit man!" I yell, "Utmost importance! I need you to send escorts to get this thing going until we're halfway to the destination.. from there the cargo will be stabilized enough not to require.. assistance." The inference was strange, but the obscurity could frighten the man; a cargo that isn't so valuable it needs to be protected, but so dangerous that if it were to be set loose then it could wreak havoc. Perhaps some newly discovered beast heading off to a lab? No matter about that; we were about to get an escort from the enemy and they wouldn't know better.

A slight buzz can be heard for a moment before whomever was sitting on the other side clears their throat rather audibly. "An escort will be with you shortly... Safe travels." With that, the monitor stopped the flicker of colors and returned to darkness.
"Escort...?" the blue humanoid thinks aloud. Suddenly, a few yells and most prominently the guttural roar of the Krogan begin resonating through the cabin as the occupants began looking out the window.
"Something's coming!" Ratarok shouted, the train rocking slightly as a dozen indents loudly appeared down the length of the ceiling. Everyone stared upwards in anticipation; What did Typhinx just do?

Hkatchep was on its feet as the big brute of a creature shouted, its vestigal wings buzzing slightly with anticipation. While unsuccessful in acquiring a lighter, more agile weapon from the creature earlier, it was still ready to fight. Typhinx wasn't the friendliest bunch, for sure, and now they were getting company from the human's... negotiations, if they could be called that.

Before long, down towards the end of the train a loud screech of metal-on-metal begins filling the air as sparks suddenly begin to appear. After that, the edge of a saw became visible as it began slowly cutting out a square of the ceiling.
As it drops, the train occupants become frozen like deer in headlights, guns held at the ready for whatever appeared. Slowly, an armored head decorated in Typhinx red steel peered down, quickly shot by someone and causing the body to drop.
"Jesus Christ!" someone above yells. "Thing is packed with bandits."
Another head appeared shortly before ducking back out and adding "They fucking stole our weapons!"
"Get in there!"
A dozen more, minus one of course, armored Typhinx soldiers then began jumping in through the hole. A bloodbath was quick to ensue...

(Sorry I took so long to respond, I was out all day. Expect me to not be on very much tomorrow or through the week as well because I'll be busy with school, so put me on autofight mode if more than ten hours go without me responding. I'll also add more flavour to this post later, as I'm quite tired.)
I shoot at the nearest Typhinx to me.

What can I say? Auto turrets. Hkatchep takes some cool virtual-reality gloves and starts manifesting those turrets.

Calculations forming in my head..
Designated birth hole at top of train..
Soldiers going through, birthed by hole..
Everyone jumping away from birth hole except two soldiers..
Compact space.. not much place to run..
Time for a fucking fire bomb!
I chuck it at the sergeant, hoping to cover the area any other troops would jump down into through the 'birth hole' that one of them was already shot down through.

[Victoria throws a Firebomb at the Typhinx Sergeant. He is now on fire, and shouts some rather harsh obscenities at her.]
[Ratarok throws down a handy Deployed Cover, somehow managing to fit it inside the train and shielding allies for 25%]
"Is that Koopa wearing our armor?" one of the Typhinx soldiers asks, bringing a chuckle from even the sergeant. Ratarok turns towards Victoria to give her a questionable glance, attention quickly snapping back as he was fired upon.
[Typhinx Soldier B unloads a firestorm on Ratarok for 28 damage.]

(Sorry it took me so long to reply, I have academic commitments. From what I've been told my high school is going to be more difficult than my college, though, so in about three years my schedule should clear up somewhat.)
Clearly my earlier attempt to kill the Sergeant failed - I probably ought to unleash another storm of bullets at him.

Hkatchep buzzes furiously, looking towards the human and quickly drawing a much bigger gun in her hand, giving it form from its previous virtual possibilities, connected to a virtual power pack planted on the floor nearby, then points to the Sergeant and draws a pretty simple message above his head: Kill him.
(Power Suit on Vick, and a suggestion to kill that Sergeant before he gets to summon more enemies. LNG thinks that a Double Tap should put him down nicely.)

"Alright boys," I chirp, "time to send these troops a'running!" Opening up a pack on my side, I start taking out and throwing syringes at my allies, so as to boost them. If I have time, I fire my ol' (though recently received) shotty at the sergeant.
