exsiliumlogs | 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. ]]

[ Tony didn't really have a problem with either of his guidey-boys. He likes the autonomy involved in being the only techie on this side of things, and running around the Initiative trying to piss some of them off to some degree. He puts a palm up to something that looks locked, lets light come out from his palm and scan the door mechanism - not a repulsor blast, although by now that's obvious. Door unlocks, and he glances back over at his 'protectors'. ]

You wanna be useful or should I just handle everything?

[Ezio narrows his eyes at this man, someone he doesn't recognize but who goes by the name Tony, so said a variety of information provided.

He's actually not in his usual white garb, as against the sprawl of grays and dull colors, Ezio would stand out too much. He's dressed head to toe in black, but always hooded. Most notably, though, are his hidden blades, clearly of a different age and design against his modern clothing.]

The point of this is for us to be useful. I can scout ahead, make sure to clear the area and to keep others away.

[Aragorn didn't even honor the man's words with a reply. Instead, he simply unsheathed his blade and stalked towards the door. His uneasy silence made it rather clear that this wasn't the time for sarcasm. Beyond these doors lie the enemy, and at any moment their lives could be cut short. Casting his gaze over towards the assassin, Aragorn gestures for him to scout ahead.]

Stick to the walls and you'll remain unseen.

[He quietly muttered to Ezio.]

Our presence here is best left unnoticed.

[ Yeah yeah, yadda yadda, he's just happy to be over five feet tall again. You guys want to run point, you guys can go in front. For now, anyway. He'll just let you pass by, all magnanimously and shit. ]

Be my remarkably thug-looking guests. I'm not unobtrusive, so, I'll come up the rear. Behind you.

[Ezio nods at Aragorn, also mostly ignoring Tony. As long as he stays within range, they'll be fine.]

Watch for the grounds and I will do what I can from above.

[With that, Ezio sprints and takes a few steps up a building before proceeding to cling to loose edges. He's what must be at least two floors above the pair, still within earshot, but at a high enough advantage to take out anyone who came up from a higher area or catch oncoming guards on the ground off-guard.]
