OPERATION SEXY MARIO: CONCLUSION

Date & Time: Sept 19th
Location: The UE Holding Compound, and surrounding area.
Characters: Anyone being rescued, doing the rescuing, or doing the distracting.
Summary: There have been some slackers freeloading off the UE for the past couple weeks or so, so let's go drag them home.
Warnings: Likely violence! Let a mod know if we should update this.

Those meant for distraction and those meant for rescue alike are both loaded onto the same stolen highspeed train. It's a great distance to cover, but the train manages in just under two hours, and deposits both groups three miles from the Holding Compound — a desolate and cold area, with rocky, uneven ground, small but jagged hills well-scattered and covered in scraggly trees — and there they part ways.

The diversion is sent away north, to draw United Earth attention and aggression upward, further into the continent, while the rescue team takes a much slower and quieter route to approach the Compound from the south, closest to Exsilium. The rescue team's orders are to wait a full half hour, to be sure that all forces who can be drawn out of the Compound to meet the sudden onslaught from the north will have already left.

The diversion team won't have an easy job of it. The soldiers are heavily armed, and trained to fight to the death before they surrender. They're grouped in organized squadrons, about 20 in each, and seem to outnumber Transports by three to one. Scattered throughout these soldiers are the Masked, the UE's special forces. These soldiers strike with a deadly precision, enhanced speed and strength, and highly advanced weaponry. Also, oddly enough, they seem to have a few smaller members among them, standing about 4 feet tall, and wielding strange powers… Those familiar with the powers of their kidnapped friends may see distinct similarities.

The Compound itself, when the rescue team makes their way in, will be very quiet. All prisoners had been forced into locked rooms (together or separately — whatever was most convenient) before the soldiers had left to face the encroaching threat. There are still personnel left to man the base, of course, and a few of them are armed soldiers — but for the most part it's scientists and researchers. Careful, though. Even scientists and researchers are perfectly capable of sounding the alarm to bring back the armed threats.

Once everyone is out of the Compound, the train will begin running a return trip. It will be kept as long as possible, while the distraction teams sneak back from the battlefield in small groups, but it can't wait forever. Those on the battlefield for the longest, the hardest hitters or the most dedicated fighters, might just have to find another way home. So… any Transports with relocation abilities feel like lending a hand?
acemedium: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEE (What do you mean Meekins is in AAI)

[That sure was a thing that was happening. Why were they under attack? Was that Expillium army thing coming back to rescue them after all? Was someone falling down a well? Was--]

[Was the doorknob turning? Maya does have the sense to try to get out of the way, but sadly, not fast enough. Rosette, the brave rescuer, bursts dramatically into the room, only for the door she was dramatically throwing open to smack Maya hard in the face and send her careening gracelessly to the ground]


Waa--

[THAT SURE IS A RESCUE THAT HAPPENED.]

The layout they've given makes the place seem like a maze. I just hope we don't end up in an entirely different area than we need to be.

[The doctors, or scientists (she can't tell which), could just have easily been in a cell block as a laboratory or a medical wing, and wherever they were coming from could lead them further in but not where they wish to go. Still, she takes Blaine's advice and she turns to the left, heading that way.

Sure enough, there are more voices and what appear to be guards, but not too many. Easy to slip around if they're careful.]
soul_sister: (No.)

[She puffs a bit at him, not taking well to that particular hissed order.

But she does still, falling silent as he scans the area.

She makes a "Soooo?" gesture in the air at him.]

Suzaku can safely say that out of all the things he expected to find while traveling around the compound looking for the captured Transports, a talking squirrel was not one of them. It takes him a moment to realize what he's being asked, because he's still trying to get over the fact that Codpiece here managed to catch him off guard here.

"... Your armor?"
hyanaimne: Do you yield? (Lle lava?)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-09-20 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ah—yes, that is very bad.

[Tempest notes her hiding it away again, and tilts her head]

Who are you to give that to?

[ He isn't sure he wants to know what exact reasons for that distrust there might be, beyond the general "being affiliated with the enemy". Not now, anyway. ]

There's a false wall two corridors from here, with a passage to bypass some of the larger facility areas. [ Some marked "laboratories", he recalls. Eyes on Chrono again. ] Are you well enough to crawl?

[Since I'll have a separate distraction thread up laterrr

That was a little too much.

She didn't exactly enjoy fighting, but it wasn't as if she'd actually done any herself -- and even then, it's not like that difference mattered. She just hated seeing it. Her heart lodged itself in her throat at the sight and she's sure she cried more at that point than she has since arriving here, even counting what Kano had done, but --

Together with Kido and Momo, wasn't just like old times, in a way? They'd even worked to rescue the same exact person, somehow. It wasn't fun. Quite the opposite, to be honest, but if she had them and the others by her side, she couldn't really be afraid. Regardless of how upset she seemed.

This was just another mission accomplished, if she looked at things that way, and she was satisfied. Exhausted, though, and if you see her on the train she's either asleep or very, very close.

Please don't step on her hair.]

[When Jaime first spots Aoba, he's almost cornered in a decidedly terrible situation, particularly considering the fact that the guy seems to just be pushing himself against the rocks instead of making any concentrated attempt to fight back.

He starts sprinting over, but it turns out that it was hardly necessary as the soldiers stop in their tracks and keel over, accompanied only be the odd sound of the guy's voice lingering in the air. Jaime stops in his tracks for but a moment before rushing over again once Aoba's knees hit the ground. He's at his side in a moment, though part of his attention still lingers on the soldiers.]


Whoa, hey! What was--

[No, focus, the soldiers aren't important right now. He's just glad to see someone else taking them out using non-lethal methods.]

Are you okay?
soul_sister: (WHERE DID ... WHAT... WHO)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[All Rosette really sees is a flash of flailing feet as WHAM, the door hits the poor girl right in the face.]

MAYA?!

[That. Was actually not a face she was expecting to see here amongst the captured. She rushes over to the girl, crouching at her side.]

Are you okay?

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-09-20 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. She blushes a little, surprised by the praise.]

Ah, thanks. It doesn't work in crowds because people bump into me too easy. But for sneaking around it's great.

If you ever need to get around quietly I can do that.
overclocking: (we need to talk about your drug problem)

[personal profile] overclocking 2013-09-20 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Chrono is never one to wonder about his appearance, but he wonders now. It must be pretty pitiful.]

Of course I can crawl! [Maybe a little too forceful, a little too indignant. He'll have to show, not tell.] Lead the way.

( in the compound )

Collette stirs on her bed, pulling herself out of the drugged slumber she'd been in. Her eyes can't quite focus when they peek open. Her mouth feels dry and full of cotton. "Five more minutes," she mumbles, back to the door. "'n no testing 'til after breakfast."

Some people are less aware than others that it's rescue time.

[ battlefield ]

[Jade watches the movement of the soldiers from a distance, and then he draws the fonons in. The glowing glyph beneath him marks a line from which the fonons rise, like snowfall in reverse.]

I, who stand in the full light of the Heavens, command thee, who opens the gates of Hell. Come forth, divine lightning! This ends now! Indignation!

[Lightning cracks open the sky, and the enemies go down. With not enough time to cast another spell, Jade materializes his spear from his arm, and he enters the fray. He feels far too at home on a battlefield.

Jade would kill for some frontliners. In fact, he is killing for frontliners, right now.]


[ trains ]

[Old man keeping to himself with a book in front of him. But to the attentive, that small frown on Jade's face suggests that something else is on his mind.]
strategic_guile: (I'm going to get really close)

[personal profile] strategic_guile 2013-09-20 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Better than a hospital.

[This was muttered under his breath as his eyes kept scanning the area. There were few signs around for him to make any determinations other than going further in. Scientists and doctors were pretty similar already. They just had different disciplines. Blaine slipped in behind her, crouched low and steady as he did his best to blend in and go unnoticed down the hall and around corners. His gun was half-raised and ready for what he felt was inevitable.]
concealingeyes: ([i got this])

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-09-20 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help grinning.] It blocks sound, too. If you shouted as loud as you could right now, no one would hear us. We've 'vanished' as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
soul_sister: (You'll just have to see)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes widen, looking around with some fair amount of wonder. It was getting harder to pick safe, useful shots... and she was worried, at this point of their spot getting charged on, but like this...

She grins.]


If you want to make use of it. I can show you a little bit of the basics... [She pats the rifle beside her on the tripod.] It's specially designed not to kill anyone, just puts them to sleep, so you don't have to worry about that.
notpeterparker: (Surprised)

[personal profile] notpeterparker 2013-09-20 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
H-huh?

[Carol moves her arms away from her head, expecting to see an armed guard. When she sees Christopher instead, she's not sure if she should be relieved or wary. She didn't catch his name when she first met him, but there was no mistaking those teeth or eyes.

He didn't seem like he wanted to hurt her when she first arrived, so she lets herself relax a little.]


Oh, you're...I remember you from when I first arrived. I thought you were a guard at first.
acemedium: Nick don't grope me (brb passing out)

[personal profile] acemedium 2013-09-20 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh... someone get me the license plate of that...... [OW HER FACE. Eventually she seems to notice someone hovering over her, and blinks]

Huh?

A. [Open!]

[Momo's not a fighter, not even close to it, and she's not entirely inclined to change that either. Her ability makes for a good distraction-- she knows that much. But... Even she can tell that using it while alone, in this situation, is an absolutely terrible idea, probably the worst thing she could be doing.

But if it helps... If it helps then... It'll be worth it, won't it?

She's kept her weapon safely away and her hood's actually off for once, her eyes flashing red as she runs away from soldiers, even as she's willing them to look at her, at her and no one else. Never more than one or two at a time though, no more than that.]



B. [Closed to Kido and Mary.]

[This will go well. This will go well, this will go well! Maybe things didn't go so well the last time they did anything like this, but the three of them are together and they're going to be more careful and... They can do this! They just have to, especially when everyone's counting on them.]

Um... Um, I-I'm ready!
taggingwomprats: (in a group)

[personal profile] taggingwomprats 2013-09-20 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke can hear Han through the door and he feels incredibly relieved. If there was anyone he wanted pulling him out of prison, it was Han.]

Yeah, never been better! Get this thing open already!
inhumanity: (Sanguinaria canadensis)

IT'S SHINTARO'S FAVOURITE PEOPLE

[personal profile] inhumanity 2013-09-20 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Run? [Christopher glances from Shintaro towards Erika. He has an easy, lazy grin on his face.] If you insist!

[And he does run. He runs right towards the scientists, twirling the umbrella like it's just a rainy day. It opens to shield him, closes to strike a scientist across the side. He cuts skin with the point and he springs with it like a vault to kick and hit. Christopher fights, and he fights like he is having fun. It is all flashy moves and barely-possible feats as he tears the group apart, devastates them, ends the lives of these men and women in lab coats.

But he never, ever kills them. Not with his own hands, anyway. When Christopher has worn them down, he knocks them over to Erika with the sort of coordination that proves how much he has fought at her side. He always hands off to her the killing blow.]
vocalizer: (Than posh isolation)

[personal profile] vocalizer 2013-09-20 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's glad for now, but he might not be if he knew what Aoba had actually done to them. Right now Aoba's busy trying to rationalize the situation to himself to ease some of the guilt over the fact that he just effectively turned these two men into vegetables. They're still breathing though. They're still breathing so they're still alive, which means that if their willpower is strong enough Scrap won't be able to keep them down for good and they'll be able to regain their normal lives again. That's how this power was supposed to work anyway. And they're soldiers, right? Who has a stronger will than a soldier.

He's not nearly as hopeful as he's trying to convince himself he is.

With Jaime runs over to him Aoba's quick to jerk into an upright standing position before he realizes that the guy is another Transport. He digs around in his pocket to pull out the medication meant to suppress his headaches.
]

... Yeah, I'm fine.

[ That would probably be a lot more convincing if he wasn't attempting to pry the lid off a pill bottle though. ]

[Her eyes widen. That would... be really useful. They can get rid of them from here without a problem. No one would see through her 'eyes' easily. And this way, she won't be so helpless.

She nods and scoots closer.]


Yeah. I want to learn how to use it. It's all right with you?
khajidont: (Beetle - Talking)

[personal profile] khajidont 2013-09-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Jaime is in a similarly reflective mood, put off by the long, silent ride to such a crucial mission, but the sight of a young girl is enough to tug him out of silence. She's only got a bow on his lap that he can see, though he has no clue how the Initiative could augment it.]

You a part of the rescue team? [His voice is low, conversational.]
