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?

[Blaine is silent for a bit before he speaks.] He could have been mind-controlled himself, but I can't be sure. Androids or cyborgs or whatever seem to be their choice of moles. They take control of them and make them act against their will to get to us.
moralperil: (wha?)

Breathe, Jack. [Truffle mews in agreement.]

Who died? Why couldn't you help them?

[Her eyes first snap open at the sensation of something pulling at her hair, then Shinji's scream, letting out a high-pitched, panicked "eek!" in kind. It doesn't really occur to her that the source of the first scream and the initial sensation is the wibbly looking kid in front of her -- looks can be deceiving, for one. For another, she's so shocked she doesn't totally register him at first. All she manages to do is squeak out ]

S-Sorry -- I'm sorry -- !

They-- all of them died, they-- I was in an as-- in a lab, in a lab and they experimented on us and loads of them died--

[He's nearly hyperventilating by now, his body trembling badly.]

[It's a natural answer to give based on the lie she's accepted. He's sure it isn't true--if Kido told Shintaro to rescue him, she still cared, obviously. But there's a little nagging fear at the bottom of his heart that he doesn't want to pay attention to. Does he have the right to see her again after what he said?

He smiles despite these thoughts. It's fine. It'll be fine. Somehow it'll work.]


Ah, that's a rather dramatic way to put it. But if that happens, I'll definitely come to Elaine.
wilder: (serious watching)

[personal profile] wilder 2013-09-21 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause from him, and even a slight what almost looks like a guilty look as he pushes back a lock of hair behind his ear. Okay, maybe he doesn't know specifically how he could've stopped being kidnapped, but still...it's not like he wasn't hiding stuff]

...Yeah. When they were doing some entry physical.
paraleyes: (51)

[personal profile] paraleyes 2013-09-21 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah.

[She doesn't want to. not with people around, but if he interprets it as a viable threat (he doesn't, he's just playing with her, isn't he?), then it works.]

Yeah! If you don't apologize... I'll freeze you.
paraleyes: (32)

[personal profile] paraleyes 2013-09-21 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We froze everyone and took their weapons.

[Since it wasn't like they'd be the ones hurting anyone. She knows she doesn't have to specify, but she does.]
redheadcarrier: (Contempt.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2013-09-21 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asuka hasn't thought much about how she might have to kill someone. Maybe she'll freeze up when the moment comes. Maybe she won't. She doesn't know. Shinji's response draws a scowl from her and she glances back at him as she keeps moving.]

How do you know? Let's go!

[She leads the way, gaze sweeping the empty hallway as they creep onward.]

Maybe there's something important down here.
paraleyes: (23)

[personal profile] paraleyes 2013-09-21 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Night, Kido...

[And that's all she says before she finally stops fighting it and allows herself to sleep. Kido will wake her up soon and she's not going anywhere and no one is going anywhere so it's okay. Everything is going to be fine from now on.

Or so help her she'll turn this timeline right around.]

[Does she believe him? He can't tell. For once, Kano's having trouble reading her. It's always been easy to figure her out, like an open book, because she was one. Hiding how she felt had never been her strong point.]

I never wanted Kido to disappear. That's the truth.
soul_sister: (I'm wonderful. I know. I know.)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-09-21 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine! We tied up all of the guards nearby. We were running out of closets to put them in.

Speaking of... [She looks around, trying to find the Shintaro that Kano is supposed to be with.]
paraleyes: (26)

[personal profile] paraleyes 2013-09-21 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[She rubs her eyes as they return to their usual pink color -- on top of the strain of using her power for so long, there's the issue of just keeping her eyes open. They're a little bit irritated, and the liquid spilling out is either them suddenly rehydrating now that they can close, or her tears.

But she isn't upset. They did it. She's proud. It's only this once, but they did it, which means they can do it again. And it wouldn't have been possible without her -- this is what being useful is like, isn't it?

So when Kido asks her how she's doing, she can answer in all honesty as she moves closer - ]


I'm... I'm okay...!

[she barely, barely resists the urge to kick the little bastard]

Yes, I did! I was worried! And now I am even more worried!
imusntrunaway: (61)

[personal profile] imusntrunaway 2013-09-21 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[From his end he shakes his head, calming down once he realizes no, it's just a girl, it's not anything really weird, it's fine, relax--!]

N-No, no! I'm sorry...
hyanaimne: Until then. (Tenna' san'.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-09-21 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That was my intentions with offering it in the first place.

[she doesn't do hugs. That's what she tells herself all the time, but for the life of her she can't figure out why she lets go of his hands to give him one, brief, but tight]

I will see you when this is finished. Stay safe, okay?
hyanaimne: Elsewhere. (Nestirtye.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-09-21 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[she's so not in the mood for smiling idiots]

No, it would not have. Sit down.
imusntrunaway: (22)

[personal profile] imusntrunaway 2013-09-21 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just a feeling. [It's muttered, barely audible. But he follows her lead, dropping back to let her be in front. He glances back from time to time to make sure they weren't being followed. So far, so good.]

We should try looking for the others first. [Others like Kaworu.]

[It's probably the truth. For Kano to break that promise must have been difficult. She pushed him to in the hopes that he wouldn't, that it meant enough to be a barrier against whatever made him say those things. But, in the end, even that didn't matter.

She's starting to cry again. She has to keep her head down and her breathing even so he doesn't notice. He'll think it's his fault when it isn't.

What about everything else he said? The things he thought about her? She's being weak right now and he thinks he has to support her, so doesn't he resent her even now?

Kido tries her best to put a gentleness in her voice.]


I know. Don't worry about it.
moralperil: (FROWN.)

[personal profile] moralperil 2013-09-21 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
They were torturing you, too... You were suffering.

[Mahdi rubs his back gently, using his emotional projection to send Jack feelings of calmness and safety.]
allucinator: (sad: emo hat)

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-09-21 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Not as much, I wasn't, not as much--

[It helps somewhat-- he can speak normally, at least. With a little whimper he shifts on the couch, curling into Mahdi.]

I was-- I was useless, they died and I watched, and I thought-- god, I thought what if you died--

( Collette shakes herself off, as if she's shedding something other than dust and dirt collected when her paws had hit ground and she'd been less a burden, more an independent operative agent in her own freedom.

Lenalee is a scent she recognizes, and a presence she doesn't expect to find where she does. Dropping her nose down, Collette uses a paw to gently bap Lenalee's hands. What her ankles do evry so often -- well. Collette opts to ignore that. )


< You're gonna get cold down there on the floor. >

( She points out, mental tone mild and hinting at a light, warm amusement, along with tiredness of her own. )

Yeah, he might've been. He mighta been one of the first to get hacked or mind controlled or whatever. Who knows how long it'd been goin' on for. The UE practically will know everythin' about us. The entire time I'm in there, they're runnin' me through tests, taking blood samples, givin' me treatments. Like a fuckin' lab rat. [Even just talking about it has him really aggravated.]
duplicitoussight: (Cotard Delusion)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-09-21 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Those words are all too familiar. Don't worry about it, don't look, don't think about me, forget all about what I said, pretend that it doesn't exist--

He hurts at the thought of it.

Kano lets go of her hand to stand up before her. Without saying anything, he crouches so he's eye-level to her. It doesn't matter if she tries to hide. After all, he's always managed to find her, no matter how well she tried to disappear.

So he reaches out and hugs her tightly, rubbing her back.]


... I'm glad.
duplicitoussight: (Perceptual Aftereffect)

[personal profile] duplicitoussight 2013-09-21 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He notices that she's searching for something and looks around as well.]

... ah, would you be looking for Chrono?
