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. ]]

[Kang pauses briefly on his way over to look up at one of the ships overhead, and smiles in a non-threatening manner (the best he can, when draconian smiles are full of fangs) with his hands away from the sword at his hip.]

Would you like some company, ma'am?

[She turns towards him as she hears his voice, and doesn't show any signs of surprise at his appearance. Rather, there's a smile in return, though it's tense, considering the stressful situation at hand. Looking back towards the outside of the perimeter, she answers.]

Company would be lovely. [A beat.] I take it you have experience with combat?
governorkang: (Having a good day)

[personal profile] governorkang 2013-02-01 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I do, yes; I'm retired military. My name is Kang.

[He takes a spot a few feet away from her, also keeping an eye on their surroundings.]

It's too bad you had to be forced back into service, though of course it's good that you have prior experience with fighting like this.

It isn't something I'm very pleased about, no. What about your experience?

[personal profile] ringletted 2013-02-07 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid I'm not as accomplished as many others here. Fighting isn't something I'm very fond of. I only learned what I had to in order to keep myself alive.
governorkang: (Looking up)

[personal profile] governorkang 2013-02-07 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Any little bit helps. And, it's not all about skill.

[Although skill helps greatly.]

Right. There's determination too, of course, and I doubt any of us are lacking that at a time like this.

[They have children to protect, of course.]
governorkang: (Home / Hatchlings are a handful)

[personal profile] governorkang 2013-02-09 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Weeeeell not everyone. Kang doesn't point that out, though.]

I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't think I got your name.

No apologies necessary, that was my own error. My name is Snow White, and to whom do I owe the pleasure?

Kang, Lord-Governor of Teyr. Well met, Snow.
