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?

[A beat as she stares at him. Shin why are you such a loser.] What's the problem?

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-10-05 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She's good with just sitting for a bit. She missed Kaede too much and having her happy and close like this just proves that mess is behind them now.]

Heh, whatever you say, Leader.
concealingeyes: (Default)

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-10-05 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I did as much to help out as everyone else but we tried out best. [She can downplay her actions but not the others.] My friends really worked hard, too...

Ah, uhm... I didn't really get to say hi last time I saw you. But I'm Kido. I'm glad to see you again.

[She must be a tough girl to keep being so bright after all this.]
concealingeyes: ([i won't let you disappear])

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-10-05 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks. But somehow, he's pretty inspiring. Maybe it's that smile. Kido rubs the back of her neck and smiles back, though hers is shier.]

...Yeah, you're right. I want to see him. That's enough, isn't it? [Kido reaches up and ruffles Oz's hair.] Don't think I forgot you're hurt though. I wanted to say something to you, too. 'Thank you'. For being my friend and his. But also for being, uhm... well... yourself I guess. For looking out for me.

[Christopher understands who she means. He knows exactly the status of his creator in their world, after all. He chuckles.]

In any world, it seems like there are a few people who ordinary people ought not to interact with, regardless of circumstances. Even so, two friends from home is two more than none! Let's give thanks for those friends from home we have here with us, particularly the friends we've made arriving here. [He doesn't mean the terrorist.] I'm particularly charmed, even particularly moved, to have met yourself and Keith.

[personal profile] inhumanity 2013-10-05 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [sad]

But with the developments of modern technology, it's only a matter of time. [happy!]
clinical: (we are awakened with the axe)

[personal profile] clinical 2013-10-05 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment, the burning appears to work—but then those burned pieces begin to restore themselves. Slowly, yes, because this is a death the body has never experienced before, but still, it does.]

Damn. We'll have to bury them separately. [And hope for the rest. Spear still holding the head down, Jade starts casting an Earth arte to make the grown open up, that they can separately bury body and head.]
clinical: (curling up slowly)

[personal profile] clinical 2013-10-05 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Relief. Jade allows himself to think it is merely relief at knowing that they took no more casualties than they had to.]

I'm nearly finished this text. [Books on nuclear warfare. Do you want to read it, Shintaro?]
notpeterparker: (Smiling)

[personal profile] notpeterparker 2013-10-05 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Charmed to have met me?

[She doesn't understand how he would be when they've just met, but she becomes noticeably more shy. She still looks happy though.]

Um, well I'm glad to meet someone so nice, Mr. Christopher. [She gives him a cheerful look.] Is there anyone else here you know from home? Or are a lot of your friends back home as well?

Of course it's enough.

( the encouraging response is heartening; he'll be happy if things work out between the two of them after everything. )
velveteened: (} fuck you maddie i hate you)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-05 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
( but the hair ruffle and what comes next, all unexpected, makes him blink and then laugh. )

You're welcome, Kido. I'm happy to.
hyanaimne: Elsewhere. (Nestirtye.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-10-05 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that is inconvenient.

[she keeps casting anyway, to at least keep the body from reviving completely before Jade finishes. She doesn't have any earth spells like he does, sadly]

[ a tingle down her spine, this is responsibility being placed on her, and while she would have done anything to get Oz to safety without ever once being asked, now she has been, and now she has double the reason to succeed ]

Yes.
anklets: (dream stupid)

[personal profile] anklets 2013-10-05 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ and a sharp look slanted at Oz in turn ]
pixieboots: (Default)

[personal profile] pixieboots 2013-10-05 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's better that way. When you know you don't have anything to worry about, cause the guy you came with will be right there with you.

[ And it's important, to say that now. He drops his eyes down to his gloves, because suddenly looking out the window is just one more reminder of how tenuous the words are, in the face of everything up ahead. ]
pixieboots: (Default)

[personal profile] pixieboots 2013-10-05 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing. Just-

[ He's shaking his head vigorously. ]

I don't know what I'm supposed to think anymore.

[for how much of a superhero celebrity Robin is where Jericho's from, it's...weird, still, to try and reconcile that image with the doubting, hesitating boy he's sitting and joking around with. on the one hand, the fame-fueled illusion becomes more of simply that, which can make one wonder if there's anybody out there who really knows exactly what they're doing.

on the other...it's nice to know he's not too different from him. and he manages, right? manages and then some. because he's Robin.

thinking on that sobers him up from the laughter, growing still in the lapse.

sobering, still, that he's not sure he can promise to have his back and succeed. covert ops are one thing, but all-out spectacle-inducing combat...(at least he can be confident there'll be no supervillains rushing around with potato sacks to catch him in, right?)

he sits back, sinking into the seat, breathing out heavily.]
gevurah: (white saviour story alert)

[personal profile] gevurah 2013-10-06 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Something happened.

[ She can't let it go now. ]

Robin. [ Her voice is barely above a whisper, to keep the conversation between them on a train packed full of other Transports. ] What is it?
concealingeyes: ([i understand your kokoro])

[personal profile] concealingeyes 2013-10-06 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Do you need anything? If I can help you out, you know, it's okay.
duplicitoussight: (Pawn)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-10-06 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He thought she'd protest more at the idea of it. He blinks, then gives a tired smile.]

Fine, fine. But Kido has to be careful not to crush me when she lies down. [It turns out, as he's lying down, he was a lot more tired than he thought he was. Just the act of it makes him drowsy.]

[personal profile] affectate 2013-10-06 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
We could! And you would ☆ You know, Kano's around my height, so they'll fit just right too! And I bet -- I'd make a pretty handsome guy wearing his clothes.
vimdicare: (pic#6239862)

[personal profile] vimdicare 2013-10-06 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to see it one day as well. It would make for an elegant mystery start, wouldn't it? The group finds one of their number dead with a beautiful, mechanical flower blooming from their chest? That's a really inspiring beginning! But a little hard to top.
velveteened: (} under your spell)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-10-06 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
( he waves a hand placatingly )

I'm fine, just waiting on some people to get here.

( which was hard enough, letting himself be ferried away to safety before he was sure of a lot of other peoples'. )
anklets: (there are gulls on the horizon)

[personal profile] anklets 2013-10-06 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Normally it is Lenalee doing the placating, so this has the rather surprising effect of surprising her back to doe eyes and softened mouths (kind of), although the line of her shoulders remains taut. Her hand is bigger than his, and she notices this when she takes it.]

Who did it?
taggeda0: (pic#6280443)

[personal profile] taggeda0 2013-10-06 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't explain how it looks.

[You just get weirder and weirder.]

What the hell is s-p-a-n-d-e-x?
