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. ]]

[ Nobody has to fight unless they want to. Yes, that is what armies are for. And yet, in war, so many people are called to arms against their will. Maybe a world with magical girls is better than her own.

At Sayaka's question, she flushes. ]

Oh, yes! You're absolutely right... A friend shouldn't be so formal, after all.

[fortissimos]

[ Be glad she doesn't know The Truth yet. ]

Ahaha... in that case, we should definitely come up with some kind of team attack. All the magical girls on TV have them! [ Even if Kougyoku isn't a magical girl, she's still magical and a girl. Close enough. ]

[peachbaths]

[ no one needs to know being meguca is suffering thank you ]

TV? What's that? Oh, I don't know anything about those! Can you give me some examples? [ Teach her pop culture, Sayaka. ]

[fortissimos]

[ at least not until the event is over ]

You don't know? [ Okay she has to laugh BUT SHE'LL EXPLAIN ] Well... I'm still thinking up a name for my ultimate move, but Eternal Omega Slash sounds pretty cool. If I combined that with your water attack, it'd be more like a Hydro Magic Slicer!

[ she's good at this ]

[peachbaths]

That sounds great! [ yeah because it's like HER FIRST TIME HEARING IT you will learn soon kougyoku ] I don't know what it'll look like, though...

[fortissimos]

[ no don't encourage her ]

Finding out is half the fun! [ SO EXCITED she actually hasn't done this before either... ] If we keep fighting together, we can come up with even more combination attacks. There's no limit on this kind of thing!

[peachbaths]

[ places a hand on her cheek kyaa ] Oh, I'm so excited! I can't wait to try it out.

[ oh look, here are a couple of drones to try it on right now ]

[fortissimos]

[ don't swoon yet she won't be this kawaii for long

also hi drones, she's just going to magic a sword into each hand and give Kougyoku a wink. ]

Ahahah... I guess you got your wish, huh? [ Sayaka mind your wording ] Ready?

[peachbaths]

[ no sAYAKA SHE'S NOT A MAGICAL GIRL SCREAMS

Kougyoku lifts her sword up, gets into position and nods. ]

Ready!

[fortissimos]

[ WHEN DID YOU LAST CHECK ]

And... go! [ wow this is exciting LEAPING INTO THE AIR LIKE A BADASS (well like one would anyway). Kougyoku can start, she'll finish off the job. ]
