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 brushes her fingers against Ellie's cheek, trying to draw her back.]

Escorted her out myself, there's probably a dog running around here somewhere.

[Maybe if she keeps things light, it'll help Ellie.]

[Steph is pretty sure Ella is trying to encourage herself, which is what makes her finally snap out of her mood and manage a smile.

Batgirl can't be like this.]


I don't think the UE are much for tactics that aren't overwhelm by sheer force of numbers, so they'll fall for the diversion. Just make sure to be as noisy as possible.
soul_sister: (Yeah... so about that.)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, a little distracted and starts moving back towards the main hallway.]

Yeah, I've heard that too. [The tone is oddly neutral for Rosette.]
maddeninghatter: (you don't say)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-09-20 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahahaha, if you can, my dear, if you caaaan......

[ He rises, clutching his sword. He is being awful and condescending, but then his voice and his manner turn around: ]

If you can, that would be helpful. I've got to find somebody. And then - haha! - have a little chat with Collette's hosts, I believe they could learn one or two things about hospitality.
senseandcecilbility: (That's not what you think)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-09-20 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now he is concerned, because her voice doesn't seem right. He leaves his safe place against the wall and steps towards her, taking a few seconds to deliver another precise kick to the soldier's head.

He was waking up, okay.

Bloody mongrel.

( Softly, letting herself lean into Steph's touch. It's only been a few days, but those days bought back the weeks upon weeks in Stratton, plain walls, wasting away, cold sweat running down her back. The way there had been gunshots, how they'd been taken to the prison with guns pressed to their back of their necks, the way Fi had been so pale and her face covered in blood.

Her eyes snap open, unfocused, but they find Steph fast enough.

Steph shot that man like it had been nothing. Like death didn't weigh on her the way Ellie knows it does, the way that had forced Steph to avoid them all for weeks after their last stint in the UE. )
Can you stay?

( With her, just stay with her, but Ellie's got her focus back, watching Steph carefully. )
soul_sister: (Listening)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Instead of explaining any further, she cautiously looks both ways down the hall.]

Looks clear!
controlledvariable: (PB >> and send a smile over)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-09-20 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a smile, small, for that comment, and it lingers until Ellie's eyes snap open, concern slipping back into her expression.

She's watching Ellie just as much as Ellie is watching her.]


Of course.

[As long as Ellie needs her, she'll stay.]
reconnaissance: (♔ so i survive)

[personal profile] reconnaissance 2013-09-20 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's go, then.

( Get on the train, get ready to go. It's not the name as having a chopper whipping up the air around you, sending dust into your eyes, but she's not looking any more excited about it as she moves to stride to it. ) We better be ready.

( She's gripping her gun too tight, bracing for the other foot to drop. Waiting for someone to die. )

[ He'd been groggy and not entirely there when they'd locked him alone into a room, but it doesn't take long for Lavi to figure out that something's going on and he manages to pull himself back into a more alert state. The eerie silence that settles over the compound is both cause for wariness and hope.

More so the latter when eventually he can hear footsteps that don't sound like the soldier's boots or the hurried pace of the scientists he'd gotten used to in the past few days. It had to be the rescue team, right?

So: ]


Ooii, over here!
senseandcecilbility: (doubt)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-09-20 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
G-good.

[He makes sure to take the front, lest murderous soldiers try to seize his heavily armed nun. The tip of the trenchcoat is now trailing behind him, looking very atmospheric, even if still quite off.]
soul_sister: (Checkmate)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's really like dangling yarn in front of a kitten. You can hardly EXPECT her not to get a handful of it and pull, now can you?]
senseandcecilbility: (Holy sh--)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-09-20 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Sister Rosette!

[He turns around, looking dutifully scandalized. But she probably got a quick glimpse of what she wanted. A long and beautiful wing...but its pair is missing.]
controlledvariable: (PB >> and I can tell you)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2013-09-20 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [It's auomatic, almost, because she's too focused on Ellie, but then she manages a nod and starts to draw away so that they can move.] C'mon, we'll make sure to get a good seat.

[She offers her hand to Ellie, wanting her to hold onto something other than that gun.]
paraleyes: (23)

[personal profile] paraleyes 2013-09-20 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'd never dream of killing them. In retrospect it seems a little odd for her to think this way but even as members of the enemy side, don't they have friends and family to go home to, like them?

No one deserves to suffer the way she did. So she'll follow orders and use her eyes for as long as she can. ... If she can make sure they all get out of this alive, then she can meet their eyes for as long as possible. Nevermind the strain.]


I got it...

[On Momo's other shoulder is another hand.]

It's okay, Momo. I'll freeze them as soon as they look.
soul_sister: (Huh.)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[The simple wonder and admittedly childish glee in getting what she wanted, turned to confusion. Had she not seen it correctly? ... Does it have to do with the power dampening nonsense?]

Eh....?

Sorry! Sorry! [She doesn't look sorry AT ALL.]
senseandcecilbility: (in the shadows)

[His hand immediately darts to his left shoulder and squeezes it in a protective gesture.

But she looks so innocent and---

[It took him a while to open his eyes, but not because he was trying to ignore her. The train was loud and as usual Elissa walked softly. When his eyes found her, he instantly gave her a quirk of his lips. He took in that she looked worried, but there were so many reasons for her to be he didn't bother to assume what was creasing her brow.]

Mi jefe fuerte. [Waving her over to sit, he didn't have to move much to give her space. He had been in a 'sprawl' carefully contained to his seat.] Just the usual tiredness.
senseandcecilbility: (so be it)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-09-20 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Well, it is not like she has not already seen it.

With a resigned and self-depreciating look on his face, he takes off the coat and folds it neatly over his arm.
]
soul_sister: (A story like that)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-20 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[The gesture and the expression add up fairly quickly. No, this was something else.

It's a little tentative, when she asks, but earnest.]


Does it hurt?
maddeninghatter: (I don't know!)

[ The footsteps come closer -- then suddenly stop and change direction. All is silent once more.... ]
maddeninghatter: (slasher smile)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-09-20 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--!
maddeninghatter: (debonair)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-09-20 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A soft thud...


The footsteps return. And now there's the sound of a key in the lock, turning. ]
strategic_guile: (Ahahaha fuck you~)

[personal profile] strategic_guile 2013-09-20 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I was looking for you.

[You bastard. Blaine is swearing all sorts of things in his head, but Johnny is looking pretty rough at the moment. He'll hold back the verbal beating for when he wasn't looking so... freaked out. This wasn't the kind of flustering Blaine usually caused the other man. He moves ahead to continue to make a path for them.]

Let's go.
devotedtothecore: (awkward tea.)

[ Said stranger's head jerks up at the sudden pile of fur and paws and warmth on his knees, and said stranger blinks blearily at the source of it, arms still folded over his chest.

Ah. Someone's pet. Or companion.
