MISSION: GET TO ZE CHOPPA

[initiatesnpc]

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. ]]

Home base | open!

[Older!Johnny is still around, and decided to stick to home base since he knows he's not sneaky and lacks flashy powers. So, he'll be patrolling and keeping a close eye on security on base. He's a little bored, though, so he might strike up a conversation with people., especially with the more tense-looking folk.]

So. Uruguay, huh.

[Okay, no one ever said he was good at conversation.]

[Nick's at least trying to take a little more interest in this mission than he had the last one; at least here there was the possibility that he might get to shoot something.

Currently he's standing idle near the outskirts of the base, rifle held casually in one hand as he keeps an eye on the perimeter. He's not much of a talker either, but he doesn't mind Johnny that much.]

It could be worse. Could be better, too. [The last place did have booze, after all.]

[Johnny's carrying a makeshift weapon from some pipes, swinging it around casually to loosen up his arms and shoulders.]

Could always be worse. But we could also be enjoyin' an ocean and a sunny day instead.

[Nick snorts in amusement.]

Yeah, that'd be nice. Maybe one of these days they'll send us to Hawaii or the Bahamas or something.

"Everyone, your mission is to relax on this beach for a few days. Get some sun, have some drinks, forget that you live in a rainy post-apocalyptic hellhole for awhile." I wonder if the Initiative take suggestions.
