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. ]]

[Blaine steps towards the ocean, stands right on the edge of it, and for a second, just the briefest of seconds puts the fight out of his mind to watch as... whatever it was submerged and sent waves out, causing two boats to crash into one another.

The voice in his head... was it really. Whatever that was? He noticed something though, and dashes a few feet as something flies through the air and lands close to where he had been with a loud thump and sending sand everywhere.]

Christ! [He needed to get out of the way.]

( And fast. Even as Collette's plan works toward her ends, it leaves her largely unable to control any collateral damage shore-side, including the larger waves that come speeding toward the rocky beaches.

She dives once more, going deep as she can while avoiding the shallower portions of the bay. Thankfully everything fell toward the Atlantic Shelf, granting her more maneuvering room than usual. )

[ He'd like to help... he's assuming the giant monster is on his side having... not seen it the last time it showed up, but there really isn't much he can do with a RPG or something, and he forgot to pack one of those with him, damn. So instead he scrambles back from the waves and further onto shore to avoid any more flying objects. Yeah, this wasn't the best idea.]
