VOLUNTEER MISSIONS TO THE UE

Date & Time: Sept 17th - Sept 19th
Location: Where ever the mission is set!
Characters: Anyone involved.
Summary: After the final wave of kidnappings on the 15th, the Initiative sends out a few teams to run hasty missions to weaken the Holding Compound, in preparation for the rescue. Info and team plotting here!
Warnings: Possible violence, let a mod know if it needs any warnings in particular.

The call for volunteers has gone out via the tablets, and a frazzled few Initiative workers lined up the first of those to show to send them immediately on their way.

Team #1 is instructed to reprogram the door codes. "It can be anything, it can be your Grandma's maiden name or your favorite candy, just — for God's sake, write it down somewhere and get it to us when you're done. We need to know the codes." They're teleported into a facility devoid of prisoners, but running at full research steam nonetheless. This team will also discover the power nulls and alarm triggers, and report their presence back in Exsilium. This mission should last no longer than 5 hours.

Team #2 is told to plant an Initiative-provided killswitch in the power grid, during the Compound's final days of construction. None of the workers should be killed. This mission should last no longer than 6 hours.

Team #3 is sent on a steelworking expedition, and must add phosphorus to a mixture of steel to make it brittle. Factory worker death is not recommended, but if it's unavoidable, will be found acceptable. This mission should last no longer than 4 hours.

Team #4 is sent to steal the finalized blueprints of the Holding Compound. Killing should be avoided. This mission should last no longer than 2 hours.

Team #5 must overheat a warehouse, warping the materials inside, and alter a shipping list. Worker death will be seen as an acceptable loss if necessary. This mission should last no longer than 4 hours.

Team #6 visits the Compound on the morning of the arrival of the scientists and soldiers, due to a miscalculation. The original goal was to arrive the night before, but there's no going back now. They must download copies of the sewage and air duct systems. This mission should last no longer than 6 hours.

Team #7 is responsible for literally building in a backdoor to the Compound; they will be visiting the construction site and night and adding false walls, secret doors, and covert hallways. This mission could take anywhere from a week, to two months, depending on skill and progress.

Need to radio back questions to an Initiative operator for specific instruction? Advice? General cursing? There's an operator standing by to take these calls, but use your tablets wisely. The drain on battery life through time is immense, and each group will only have enough juice for 3 conversations with the Initiative operator.

Good luck, and Godspeed.

no such thing

The fishnets were ... definitely a thing, Artie decided, managing not to stare. If there was one thing life in Exsilium had taught him so far, it was that people from other worlds certainly had interesting ideas of what constituted fashion. He took his Tesla gun out of his jacket to check the charging gauge - good, still full.

"I'm not worried about my own safety, but I appreciate the offer." Glancing over at Kate and Elissa, he pursed his lips thoughtfully. "Do we want to have a check-in call at some point, or should we just agree to meet back here? I know our tablets have limited use..."

Elissa looked over at Kate and then, after a pause, shook her head. "Meeting back here would be best. If we stopped to use our tablets it should only be in case of an emergency. We can't afford to waste time as it is. If we stop to use our tablets and are discovered, that will only make leaving more difficult." And it could have dire repercussions on the mission, both this one and the overarching reason why they were present here.

"It might be better to meet back here after a set amount of time. If one team does not return, then we can risk a check-in. If you're amenable, that is," she said, gesturing briefly to the others.

She nodded. There was no telling if they were being monitored, covert op or not.

"Clock back in in an hour," she said finally. That was likely more than enough time for her and Elissa, but the temperature control was the aspect of this mission she was more concerned about.

Do we split the threads or...

"An hour it is," Dinah said firmly. She turned to Artie. "Let's get going then. The sooner we mess with them the sooner we can get back to our- uh, Exsilium's time."

Wow she really hated time travel.

Richter had been quietly standing off to the side listening to the plan being laid out. But it wasn't the mission that had him on edge.

It was the first time in a long time he's been in a group composed entirely of humans without Aster or even Aqua. Aster's disappearance shortly before this mission didn't help Richter's anxieties at all either. But a job was a job and the half-elf had volunteered himself for this. At the very least, he was doing his best to keep his discomfort to himself.

He walked over to where Artie and Dinah were preparing to go. The machinery here seemed similar enough to what they had in Sybak and if that failed, he could always use a halfway formed Fireball to help. Sending more than two people to alter documents seemed unnecessary as well.

Artie turned to the other two members of his team and nodded at Dinah. "You're right. Just because time is ... bendable ... doesn't mean it isn't still limited. Either of you any good at breaking and entering? We'll need a way in. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I'd rather save them for the pipes, since they're dangerous to use more than once."

Black Canary nodded. "Breaking and entering can be done." She looked around. "So, are we going? Take care everyone, and be on time."

Reliance on others was something Oracle had slowly ingrained in her, but still, she couldn't help feeling like she should be everywhere at once. The stakes were high, but because of that she needed to keep her cool.

"Excellent. ... See you in an hour, you two. Good luck." With a nod to them and a wave, he turned back around.

"Now, how far is this place...? I'd think they wouldn't drop us too far off..."
