exsiliumlogs | 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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That much should give you insight enough, if you consider the implications. In any case you seemed to think it was bad enough, before.

Oh you mean with the letter?

Nah, I mean I don't like it, buuuut if I felt it was truly terrible, I wouldn't have bothered with a letter!

I suppose you are free to expect worse from me if you like. [That seems sensible, doesn't it? He's doing approximately the same to him, after all.]

[he shrugs] That seems fair, considering you're wondering if I'm gonna go berserk again and destroy this train car.

Do you expect you will? I could restrain you preemptively if it is a concern.

[...well, at least the guy's honest]

...I'd rather you not, thanks.

[Frowns at him a little for not answering his first question, but he supposes it's not his job to needle him]

If you're certain it isn't necessary.

[a shrug!]

What can I say? I hate rope burn.

There are things more important than that... [Speaking of important:] I don't suppose you've encountered Walker already? Here or inside the compound...

And yet that's what I find myself caring about, funny that.

Allen? [he looks thoughtful] No, not yet. I'm sure he's on the train though.

He couldn't be prevented from joining the rescue mission, in any case.

[He better have gotten back on the train after...]

Well of course not, it's Allen.

What? Did you lose your charge? ♥

[Ah yes, Link remembers this. The snide comments and the amusement people derive from his displeasure...]

We were separated by the Initiative, as we were assigned to different divisions for this mission.

Huh. You mean you didn't shove a note under their door when you got here?

I submitted a formal notice but obviously the people of this world have their own concerns.

[He's answering seriously but his scowl says he knows you're just asking to annoy him]

[oh he loves that sort of scowl. ]

Aw really? I bet that really bugged you huh?

[There are plenty of scowls to be had, then]

Your false sympathy is not appreciated, Mr. Major...

False?

[he makes an offended sound]

First you want to tie me up, now you don't believe I'm capable of empathy - it's like you don't trust me at all!

I was offering to help.

Oh. So you offer to tie up just anyone then?

Sheesh! I thought I was special!

Obviously it wouldn't be applicable to just anyone--[hha! Why am I having this argument??]

[Because you've entered the realm of Zelos Wilder. You poor soul]

Oh? So how many people have you given that offer hm?

[What is with that phrasing?? No, this has gotten ridiculous enough already, he refuses to answer.]

The point is that if it were to become necessary to keep you in check I am willing to assist. Now if you have not seen Walker around then I shall be on my way.

I knew it. I'm not special at all to you.

But fine fine, go look for the kiddo.

We've barely met!!

[OPEN COMPARTMENT DOOR. STEP THROUGH. SLAM COMPARTMENT DOOR.]
