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. ]]

[The blade is already a bright red about halfway up the blade; Kanaya herself, unusually, has remained relatively spotless. She leans back on her heels slightly to take in the full height of the man, who she just barely recognizes, though not quite by name, as a friend of Roxy's and fan of her antibellion post.]

I do what I can, sir, especially in light of the imminent bombing.

[asskickersunite]

Well, keep up the good work.

[Eddie lights a cigarette, taking a smooth drag on it while taking a moment to tune his guitar.]

And don't worry about that sir shit. Name's Eddie Riggs.

[speakveryclearly]

Yes... [Sir, she doesn't say. She never gets how adult humans want to treat alien children like her, and she looks at his cigarette like it is a small piece of poison and also on fire.]

Do you know anything about Uruguay? [She pronounces the word as if she has heard it exactly once before saying it now.]

[asskickersunite]

Uruwhat?

[Eddie makes a face, trying to wrack his brain for any relevant information]

Is that where you're from?

[speakveryclearly]

No, it's where we supposedly are right now...
