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?

[ He glances back again, looking somewhere between long-suffering and incredulous. Really, she shouldn't have to ask the question, not of him. But about all he can say, as he glances away again— ] My orders still stand.

I'll tell you to kiss it better.

[Blaine stopped just short of walking into the tent and turned to Johnny. He closed the distance between them and gripped the back of the other man's neck.]

Of course I did.

[No you're welcome. Just an, 'Of course I came for you, you ass.']

That is because I did! I did tell you that I was a monster, Mr Shintaro.

[But that's not important right now! Now we're talking about nightmares.]

Regardless -- yes, dreamcatchers do work if you believe them to! One base of any magic is the power of belief. An enchantment may only do so much if your target does not believe in magic!
maddeninghatter: time to kill little girls (fury ♘ I'm so done with this shit)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-09-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Easy--

[ Sputter! ]

Easy for you to say, you overgrown pigeon!

[ You and your damn aura. And your touchy-feely hands. Angels, honestly.

Even so, he turns on his side and heads off to the left with a powerful scissor kick, grabbing Kevin the way Rin Asano had taught him: by the hair. ]

[How the hell does a random guard know his name? He stops moving but ia still ready to strike if need be.] Who are you?!

[personal profile] allucinator 2013-09-22 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Course I do.

[He sits up, staring at Mahdi.]

If you wanna talk about it. I can-- we can-- if I can tell you shit, you can tell me.

Magic is my family's secondary trade. I learned primarily through my own study and experimentation, however!

( he moves in the direction he's pushed, twisting around to try to get a better look at gil. )

What happened to you?

[ He thinks he's reading that expression right. His own palms are damp inside Robin's gloves, but he knows that's a bad example to be setting. ]

It's gonna be fast. We do this kind of thing all the time in Gotham.

[ Maybe not quite on the same scale, but. ]

... Thank you, Kido.

What should I do now?
retraced: (nobody feels me cold)

[personal profile] retraced 2013-09-22 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He ran into a wall, shhhh.]

Nothing. Besides, should you be asking me that question in the state you're in?
implying: (sweet someone dropped a penny)

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He glances down at their hands, studies them for a moment, and... manages a twitch of two fingers. It's a little sad that his organics can manage only that much, but that's for the best. He closes his eyes, intending to enjoy the contact for as long as it's offered. ]

[personal profile] pixieboots 2013-09-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He jumps a little bit, but it's from surprise and not discomfort. He doesn't move away, just hangs his head a little more. How to explain to her that it's not the prisoners, this time, he feels bad about? ]

I know...

[ His tone is unconvinced. ]

We did a good thing.
charming_jerk: (update - talking)

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2013-09-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like I been hit by about a hundred buses, but otherwise, just glad to be outta there. Not that this is gonna be any better once we get back to the Hold. The UE is plannin' something big.
debtor: (UM ★ doing just fine)

crying

[personal profile] debtor 2013-09-22 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Makes a brief but valiant effort to pry open the door. Haha.]

...Well. It's locked.

But, um- [Peering past the ropes, towards the far end of the room.] Is that an exit, over there...?
implying: (welp)

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-22 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's surprised for a second by the question, which registers in his face, but nowhere else. His body is busy pushing the attack, swiping slice after slice after her.

And, gods, but he wishes he could tell her, as she's apparently understood the situation. He could kiss her for that. But instead she gets the best he can manage, which is a little sadly lacking.
]

I can't tell you.
velveteened: (} gilbert pls)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-09-22 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine —

( THAT'S TOTALLY BELIEVABLE RIGHT )

— and that doesn't look like nothing.
implying: (whoops sorry bro)

feelin silly breaking out the small tags when there's no actual dialog, SO

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-22 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, she's quite good. It does overbalance him, although the steel along his spine stops it from being terribly damaging. He stumbles once, but turns it into a roll and rises into a crouch, blades primed, watching her closely — and unhappily. She might be good enough to escape him, but he's not sure she can do it without pain. ]
strategic_guile: (I feel a little relieved)

[personal profile] strategic_guile 2013-09-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blaine shifted and leaned a bit more against Johnny.]

Go get yourself healed. Just enough to take the edge off, if you're so worried about people more injured than you.
implying: (STARES INTO MIDDLEGROUND)

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-22 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The kneel draws his attention again, and he almost flinches at that scrutiny. He might have, if he could. He looks all the more miserable in the seconds before he diverts his eyes over to the wall. When he finally speaks it's low, with only the accent still in place, and the usual cadence flattened and gone. ]

You ought to go.
retraced: (I could either burn)

[personal profile] retraced 2013-09-22 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns and simply continues shoving Oz through the narrow walkways of the train. There has to be an empty compartment to sit in, or at least an empty seat in one of the cars for him to sit down and rest. Gilbert, though he hasn't slept in days, can be on his feet a while longer before they'll give out with the rest of him.]

This isn't the time to talk about me. Are you sure you're okay?
firstroar: (ᴀɴᴄɪᴇɴᴛ)

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-09-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[he looks where she gestures, eyes clouding over with more distant, unhappy thoughts.

there's a long stretch of silence before he remembers the moment and speaks again.]


Yes.
implying: (oh my god you guys)

[personal profile] implying 2013-09-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He'll have to be more precise, then. There's very little organic material left to aim for. He leaps back, blades rising to be held ready before him, as he watches Raiden steadily. ]

Following orders.

[ He says it dully, his voice just about as dead as his eyes — and Raiden must understand that. He must. ]
firstroar: (pic#5952049)

[personal profile] firstroar 2013-09-22 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blue stares for a moment longer, searching. it's harder to read a person when not only is that person so very hidden, but now everything outside himself is silent.

he steps backward, still facing him for that single step before turning away, facing the problem ahead. he forces Jesse out of his mind until Physis is found. one thing at a time.]
charming_jerk: (dotdotdot...)

[personal profile] charming_jerk 2013-09-22 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I ain't gonna let 'em ever do somethin' like this to us again. I'll break every last one of 'em in two. [Though it's not said with his usual vitriol. Either he doesn't have the energy, or doesn't believe it that much.]
