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?

[She manages a little grin.] Leaders always have to worry, even if you're not in my group. But getting a break is important. Playing medic after this must be rough.

[It probably isn't that simple for Elaine but she's got her pegged: Kido would believe in their friendship regardless. To her, it would be no different than how she continued the Dan here.

Keeping those thoughts to herself spares Elaine anymore shounen speeches for now at least. Instead she smiles.]


Don't worry about it. I'm really glad we get to be friends. Now you can sit in on breakfast properly, right?

Yeah, let's go. [ His legs feel weak with exhaustion, but he ignores it as he loosens his hold on her and starts moving forward.

Off they go!! ]

[It certainly does attract attention. From scattered gunfire to a rocket whirring through the air, just narrowly missing him, he clears a path for the nun simply by being a better target.

It's only meters from the edge of the battlefield that Rosette pulls up short, shielding her face as a column of white hot fire roars up in front of the two of them, racing down a hillside towards their location.]


NATSU!
soul_sister: (Size up)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-10-01 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a moment of irritation as he moves past her. HE COULD AT LEAST EXPLAIN IT!!!

But as he gestures... now THAT, she understands. She tightens her grip on her gun and moves carefully after him, watching her footfalls. There'd already been enough close calls this mission.

This kid seemed to know where he was going, though. She'd only gotten a rough set of directions from Chrysos earlier...

Her voice is hushed as she calls up to him.]


Do you know where they're holding them?
fortissimos: (pic#6840262)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-10-01 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know about that...

[ Despite herself, she manages a shaky laugh. On a normal day, she has at least some confidence in her abilities, but after everything that's happened... it's hard to be optimistic.

Still, she's fine now, at least physically. She gives Kido a tired once-over, pausing when she spots the bandages. ]


You're hurt. [ It's not a question. ]

[Crushed in the upper right half of his body, part of his suit uncased around him with medical equipment stabbed into exposed skin, sprawled over seats and lurching occasionally from either the pain or the surge of mediating painkillers: Welcome to Gordon's life today.]

...You look like hell, Meliantha. [He says with a doped smile, in lieu of the proper conversation starter that his brain refuses to produce right now.]

[Asami watches despite herself, and the jerking motions of the woman's limbs make her flinch in a similar way. The reality of a threatening figure suddenly becoming not only quieted, but empty, causes a pressure to weigh momentarily within her chest before she obeys Nic with a nod. She swallows and follows suit, steps almost inaudible.

She proceeds along the corridors, stopping now and then to check whether or not it's clear to cross. The scientist's life sits in the back of her mind, even in her conscious efforts to move forward, and persistently yet when Asami comes across a door that catches her attention: AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.

With a brow quirked at Nic, she slides her fingers against the key card entry panel.]
Let's wait.
chittybang: (is she brave or stupid?)

[personal profile] chittybang 2013-10-01 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asami takes notice of her condition right away. She wants to dote, take care of her state here and now, but it's more important to get moving as quickly as possible. Frowning, she crouches down beside Kanaya and takes her upper arms in her hands.]

Alright, well I'm here now. Can you walk?
salvagedsoul: (Q // dread)

train ride home | closed to established CR

[personal profile] salvagedsoul 2013-10-01 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[The whole night has been a blur. It feels like forever ago that they were paraded into locked rooms in small groups, heralding that something was different. That something was wrong, because it didn't adhere to the schedule they'd been enduring for a while now.

And now here they are, the last of them hurried onto the hijacked train for a ride home that could only be described as heavenly peace in comparison to what had just happened. Kaworu is as wide awake as always, but he feels numb and overstimulated. Maybe this is what being exhausted feels like.

He has to find his friends. He has to see them again, lest some new threat stops this train and takes them all away again. Kaworu is past being fascinated by his new need for others, so he doesn't spare a moment to observe it in wonder as he stands up and begins to walk to the next car.

Shinji, Asuka, Nageki, Billy, Blue... they might not be on this train at all. They could still be out there, or back home, or dead and waiting to be resurrected.

But they could be here... so he's going to look.

Then get in!

[She can barely hear him over the sound of the engines revving up. No helmet, but whatever. She glances at him over her shoulder and shoots him a grin and a thumbs up. The canopy comes down and she glances up, flipping a few more switches.

They start taxiing forward as the hangar doors start to roll open.
]

Alright. Let's do this...

[She looks up from bandaging a nasty gouge in a bicep.]

What they did... this is offensive to me. Kidnapping, hostages, all of this.

It was a good fight. Haven't had one like it in a long, long time. [She winces.]

Miss clerics, though.

Beshaba's tits! You look like you got stepped on by a dragon!

... I have some healing magic I can use once we're a little further out. Not a lot, though...

[personal profile] taggingwomprats 2013-10-01 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that's the weird part - they just ran a lot of medical tests. I don't know what they wanted-

[He can hear distant sounds of alarms, combat. There's chaos in the hallways and he pauses to peer down a side corridor, forehead currowed in concentration.]

Maybe we should check down this way-

[Wait a sec. He glances back at Han and eyes him.]

...how's your shoulder?
trustycrowbar: (Coolant System Malfunction)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2013-10-01 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not far off. [He croaks and tries to laugh, but it turns into a short string of pained curses as he lays back down again. Dammit, why'd they insist on taking off his suit? He doesn't like the morphine, but at times like this it's his best damn friend.]

I got caught in the security doors on the way out. Not everyone was going to get out, otherwise.
demonbloodblade: (Default)

[personal profile] demonbloodblade 2013-10-01 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ow. Just... ow. That sounds horribly painful. The worst I got was shot. I managed to get the bullet out, but I still don't like those things.

...you're going to be all right, aren't you?
trustycrowbar: (*facepalm forever*)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2013-10-01 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be all right. [He adds, quietly.] I don't have much choice but to believe that right now. Once they get us back, they'll set everything and cast it. I won't be doing any missions anytime soon, but I can still push papers and hold a lightpen. With my left hand, anyway.

[He doesn't sound very enthusiastic about this, however.]
demonbloodblade: (Default)

[personal profile] demonbloodblade 2013-10-01 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[She punches the floor.]

Here I was being angry at what happened to me, and not even thinking about how much worse it could be for some people! Damn me for a fool.
demonbloodblade: (Default)

Re: B

[personal profile] demonbloodblade 2013-10-01 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll heal fast enough. Just painful.

Bullets. Digging them out. That hurts. [She shows one.]
explodewiththerage: (Nom fire good)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2013-10-01 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even if the rocket hit him, he'd just devour the explosion and render it completely futile in terms of damaging him.]

[Still through the chaos he does hear Rosette and he turns to face the direction from which the fire is coming straight at them. He grins devilishly. The fire strikes him head on however Rosette may notice that it's not getting past him. If anything, the fire seems to be funneling towards Natsu as if it was water in a tub without a cork]
trustycrowbar: (*facepalm forever*)

[personal profile] trustycrowbar 2013-10-01 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[The entire car shudders when she does that, and Gordon jerks and grimaces because he'd jumped with the rest of the people around them.]

Hngh, g'dmit... They might have me back in working order in a few weeks, the way medicine works over there. Still hurts like a bitch NOW, though.
charming_jerk: (dotdotdot...)

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2013-10-01 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Johnny's life isn't much better. Getting cut loose after being locked up there for two weeks, he's sporting a broken arm, as well as countless bruises and cuts. He's exhausted in every way. He plops himself down near her.]

Ya managed to gut a lotta those sons of bitches for me, right?
demonbloodblade: (Default)

[personal profile] demonbloodblade 2013-10-01 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks even more ashamed at that.] Oh, Helm, I'm sorry, Gordon. I forgot...

I wish I had even a healing potion with me, but I don't have any left anymore...
