MISSION: GET TO ZE CHOPPA

Date & Time: August 23rd, 2753 (OOCly forward-dated to the 1st)
Location: Uruguay National Defense HQ
Characters: All transports!
Summary: All transports are sent back to Uruguay to download a self-aware AI before it gets bombed out of existence by an early incarnation of the UE. Time distortion effects will be set right either on the way there or on the way back, according to player choice.
Warnings: violence, action movie tension, 3 terabytes of foot fetish porn.

The Transporter drops the entire transport population into what will quickly be established as Home Base, a mile from the vast, sprawling facility that is Uruguay's National Defense HQ. The low roar of helidrones moving above is pervasive, but the black ships can only be glimpsed here and there through the thick cover of trees overhead. If you keep calm and quiet, it's likely you won't be spotted. It's the UND HQ their attention is on, after all.

The population is quickly sorted by attending Initiate employees according to who volunteers to fight and who volunteers to protect, along with those with enough skill to access the computers, and those with enough skill to get them there. The fighters move out first, off to intercept the early UE's ships and ground troops, and to draw the automated defense systems of the facility alike. They'll be in a crossfire, and neither side will be happy to see them there.

The techies and their escorts are sent out far more quietly, in groups of three. Their task is to sneak past the front lines and into the facility itself. There might be alarms and automated defense drones, so those escorts may well be called on to earn their keep. The Initiative can't give any information about which building will house the AI's mainframe, that information was long since lost to history. All they can do is send out enough people to hope that one of them manages to find it.

And remember — as soon as the UE troops withdraw, there will only be minutes until the bomb drops. Everyone would do well to work fast.



[[ Mission information is here, and the techie/escort teams, along with their hacking results, are here. Each techie/escort group will have their own established thread, but Team Distraction and Team We'll Stay Here, Thanks are welcome to thread where ever and however they like! The newbie log that goes up on the 1st will also encompass the arrival back in Exsilium, if you'd like to play that out as well. ]]

Okay! [ Yay friends. ]

[ Once they're at shore and feel the hot sand, Kougyoku remembers how Ikki and Kazu's A-T's won't work on this terrain. It reminds her of their last mission. Didn't Kazu help her in this way, too? But this time was different. Firepower that huge could have gotten him killed if he wasn't fast enough! She already knows why... so Kougyoku wants to know how! ]

Hey, Kazu. What happened back there? That - missile, was it? - it could have killed you and I. But that speed was - inhuman! I can't believe that A-T's can do something like that. Your world doesn't even have magic. Am I wrong? So how? How did you avoid something like that?

[ Kougyoku lets out a chuckle herself. ]

It's not safe, you say?

[ She raises her sword up in the air, and the sea surrounding Colette follows. It swirls upwards, creating a spinning shield of water around them. ]

We can talk here. My djinn is the one lending me its power to do this!

[ Aside from fighting, looking out for kids is Sayaka's #1 priority. Sure, she'll protect everyone else, too, but anyone younger than her probably doesn't understand what's going on, and the least she can do is provide a distraction.

So when she stumbles across him, she doesn't just keep walking. Instead, she crouches down; putting herself as close to eye level as she can. ]


Lost in thought, huh?
fortissimos: (Default)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-02-05 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The bow catches her eye, first — with most people using magic or more modern weapons, something traditional stands out. Sayaka doesn't recognize the owner, but they're on the same side, and (right now) she's sociable even at the worst of times. ]

Geez, just look at those guys. There's no way any of them stand a chance against us. [ It's easy to sound confident when she hasn't stepped foot on the battlefield yet. ]

[ Kougyoku drops her jaw in awe as she watches Natsu move. He said he was a mage, but with the way he fought, he was more like a dragon! ]

Natsu...! [ She wants to tell him it's dangerous! But at the same time, she knows how strong he is, and she wants to respect that. But in case anything happens...

Kougyoku begins gathering water around her sword. He said they were friends, didn't he? She has to be ready to protect him! ]

[He blinks at the grab; shrugs as Ico's warm fingers close around his arm.]

It is nothing.

[maybe.]

[That is the highest praise he could want. Being raised by a dragon he wants to emulate their ferocity, bravery and power to the best of his ability. AFter all gotta make daddy proud.]

Stay there. Things are about to heat up around here.

[Wouldn't want Kougyoku getting caught up in his idea. No sir. There is a heavy clunk from the inside of the turret signaling that the next shell has been loaded. This would be the signal for any normal person to get out of the way. But not Natsu. No he inhales deeply and then sticks his mouth against the cannon's muzzle. Only to then release his prepared roar. The fire expands within instantly and the barrle glows bright red before it starts bubbling up like it was boiling from the inside. There is an explosion inside shaking the turret and the hatch flies open as several desperate soldiers clamber out screaming for their lives with their clothes on fire.]
caw: (well thats not how i thought itd go)

"Huh?"

A joke, kind of. Davesprite was paying attention, well enough. He hadn't meant to end up in a group that was devoid of his sister-aged mom, but it's not so bad. At least he's making some use of himself-- he's meant to be of more worth in the missions before this but hadn't found something that really called to him. Escorting, though? Slashing up things in protection of another? Haha.

Made for him, really. Convenient as fuck.

"Ready." He's got a katana in one hand, and is scratching at the back of his neck with the other.

( Remy takes this all in--matching cloaks, the words and looks between them--and then laughs. It's not mocking, just a slight chuckle. A response to tension, perhaps. )

Forgive the intrusion, homme, but the lady an' I were havin' a conversation, and you happened ta come up.

[personal profile] ex_lecturing315 2013-02-05 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
( WELL IF THAT'S THE STANDARD )

If you say so.
onemoredeath: (i'm waiting)

[personal profile] onemoredeath 2013-02-05 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Fixed makes it easier to get close.

[ It wasn't magic, just sheer control over himself and his environment. Takegami was an urban predator. He wouldn't have survived into his thirties if he was careless after all. But all the skill and control in the world wouldn't help him if he also did not have the right tools. Like the two disks he pulled out of his pockets, both about the size of a U.S. silver dollar. He pressed them against each other for a moment, let his fingers feel the slight vibration as they went 'live', and then sent them sliding down the hall.

They hit the wall, and the sharp crack of static as they hit was the only indication of their charge going in action. ]


It lasts for a minute, so you have to hurry to crack the door's clearance.
vaudevil: (You're down? Too bad.)

[personal profile] vaudevil 2013-02-05 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice trick. I have to get me one of those.

[That was Lee's cue to do his thing and hacking the codes to the door wasn't that hard. He pulled two prong-like cords from his armband and clicked the ends into place. As the codes cycled through, he held up three fingers as he watched the numbers take their place one by one.

A finger went down as each number appeared. In a matter of 10 seconds, those fingers formed a fist and the door slid open.]


Okay, now that we're in, we'll definitely have to be on our toes. Ready?

[He slipped inside and looked around. The sensors in his helmet picked up three guards inside and holds up three fingers with a tap to his helmet. The tablet shows what his now muted voice was saying.]

There are three men inside, all armed. Most likely, they know we're here. Let's take them out.

[She always did love it when Clive glared, and that much showed on her expression as her amusement was plain as day. Half brushing off Clive's question, she remained standing between the pair looking ever as casual and comfortable as usual.]

He wanted to see with his own eyes the one who could give me orders. Unless you're denying if of course, handsome.[The unspoken: and seeing the look on your face was an opportunity she couldn't refuse, was obvious to all involve. Shifting her balance, she came to rest her hip against Clive's side as her forearm came up to rest along his shoulder before regarding Remy with a far too pleased smile.] He's a little shy when it comes to talking to others.

[A wink at Remy followed her words.]
acemedium: I couldn't think of anything clever (:D!)

[As far as audiences go, Maya's a pretty receptive one. She's clearly taken with the whole thing]

You really are a warrior of justice! I bet if Nick could swing a sword instead of flash his badge... [Oh no, getting sidetracked]

You were so cool, though! Can you do a lot of magic?
acemedium: (STEEL SAMURAI 3: JUDGEMENT SLICE?)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-02-05 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Maya's recognizing him, so time to make her way over...!] Wow! What a cool sword!
acemedium: feed me and you might live (might be plotting your murder)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-02-05 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Maya will head right up to her, grinning as usual]

Are you guarding the base?
acemedium: It's super effective?! (Maya used CUTE FACE (in hideous uniform))

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-02-05 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. [Sadly this isn't the kind of battle that could be won with pointing, objecting, or desk-slamming. But while Maya might be perky and cheerful as usual, it doesn't mean she's without her own worries. They're just pushed deep down - even deeper now that Phoenix is so nervous.]

[In a way, though, this is a little bit like court. She couldn't let him get discouraged or give up]
That's what the home base is for! For people not fighting.

But if anyone tries to sneak in or anything.... You can just yell "OBJECTION"! I bet that would startle them.
wilder: (derp you for real?)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-02-05 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[...He looks surprised. Burger girl?]

[Please tell him she wont' be fighting because he's not sure she can handle it. But he'll give a shrug and a friendly smile]


Thanks!

[Not as cool as 'save the princess,' but better than nothing, dude. He throws a few little microbursts of wind at would-be assailants, who probably have much better weapons and yet are blown over. Quite literally.]

Anything?
incendiarism: (like being a soulbonder to your disease)

[personal profile] incendiarism 2013-02-06 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He ignores her comment, but his laughing is finally stopping.]

Hakuryuu? He's probably fine. He has a djinn, after all!

[Judal shrugs, settling on a rock a few feet away from her. He wasn't terribly concerned that the prince was in trouble, but it would be good to see him in action when he actually stood a chance.]

But if you're worried, we can track him down. It'll be easy!
wilder: (he just sensed Snake)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-02-06 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[give him a moment and...!]

Got it! It's when the troops withdrawal. Gotta get out of here before the explosion.
fortissimos: (keep all the lights off)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-02-06 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... OKAY SHE HAS TO FROWN NOW DUDE WHAT THE HELL ]

Why are you reacting like that, anyway? Everyone's way safer with allies of justice around! [ don't be a jerk!! ]
incendiarism: (reminded of neopets)

[personal profile] incendiarism 2013-02-06 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Kougyoku gets the jump on him at the start, but Judal isn't too far behind her when he creates some icicles from the same water, taking them out a few at a time. He's fast and thorough enough at it that he manages to keep up alright, for the moment.]

Is that all you can do? You'll have to try harder to win against me!

[personal profile] ex_lecturing315 2013-02-06 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
They can't help everyone.
