[malnosso]

Who: Frontliners, Infiltrators, Kidnappees (See here for info)
What: The attack on the base!
When: October 11th (all day)
Where: Renegade Malnosso Facility
Rating: Varies on thread!


It had been over twenty-four hours since the infiltration. The Malnosso were notorious for their long work hours, many pulling twenty hour shifts at any given time. Fortunately, each department had its share of private resting areas with beds to allow the overworked staff - or infiltrators - get some much needed shut eye between tasks. But now there allies were arriving. All the information they had gathered and sabotaged planned was about to go into play. Would they be successful?

As for the kidnapped, John's pill was finally starting to cancel out the effects of the drugs. Already brighter and more alert than before, it would soon be time for their escape and either flee or help their comrades storm the building.

The front line attackers had met with their strategist before the battle and were now positioned in the forested area around the facility, out of sight and mind for the Malnosso inside. All they needed was the sign to attack from their person inside.

----

OOC Notes: Note that when the front liners attack, security checkpoints and Shifting should be disabled. For those curious about Floor 3, there is still no access to it. HOWEVER, there is no longer a Shift protecting it. If any character is reckless or foolish enough to access it, do so while considering the possibility of your character being seriously injured (or even killed!) in what ensues.

To recap: read Albert's OOC marching orders. Security guards are armed with short swords, night sticks, and hand guns. Most have normal human abilities, but higher ranked guards in high security areas will be highly skilled and may possess some amount of superhuman strength and speed. The Malnosso droids/drones all possess superhuman strength and speed. Since everyone is at full power, they are at 'half strength' relative to what people are used to. Brute strength and strong electrical attacks will be effective on them. It's also possible the infiltrators will keep most of them from ever activating to respond to the attack. They are not invincible and with enough effort, people should be able to handle them.
Note: Thanks to the infiltrators, most of the drones have been disabled and won't activate during the alarm. A small number will be present, but no more than twenty at the most.

Finally, going back to Floor 3, there will be a separate thread within the log for that. If someone attempts to enter it after the battle, I'll setup the scenario there for people to interact with.

[Time for ballet-fu! She moves fast - her one physical strong point. She spins and turns to get out of the direct line of their foes, and readies a different attack, one that creates bubbles and fog and mist to obscure the guards' vision]

Mercury Aqua Mist!

[markofthewise]

[He has his weapon drawn, but he's standing behind her all antsy. There's not enough room for him to get involved. This is so not cool!]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[Once the guards are having trouble, she can try to take them out. She carefully fights to leave them incapacitated awhile instead of killed.]

[markofthewise]

[Well, with them gone, time to carry on.]

Right, good job. Let's keep moving. [He steps over their unconscious body before following her out.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Eh? Is something wrong?

[markofthewise]

No no. I'm good. [He's only got to take down one guard. You've taken out nine! It's so unfair.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[Maybe there'll be more!! ..wait that's bad]

Hurry!

[markofthewise]

I'm hurrying!

[Or would be, except suddenly a droid suddenly walks in their path.]

Oh come on! This isn't even remotely fair!

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[A droid... that'll be harder. Sure enough, her kicks and strikes do very little against it; physical strength is her low point]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka has a go at it, but he can't land a hit on it. The droid is too fast and powerful. He's feeling more like a punching bag than an actual fighter now. It's already disarmed him of his weapon and has him flat on his back.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[Mercury immediately runs over to stand between Sokka and the droid. She puts all her strength into trying to push the thing away, but she lets out a yelp as she soon finds herself on her back, too, just a couple feet away from Sokka.]

[markofthewise]

Ami! [His sword is within reach and he grabs it and gets to his feet and swings it fruitlessly at the droid. Or... at least he thought it would be. The swing doesn't clang uselessly against the droid like he though. In fact, when he looks at the sword, he realizes he's only holding the HILT. The rest of the sword is embedded in the side of the droid, which seems to be momentarily stunned.]

... whoa. [Blink blink. He gives Ami a bewildered look, then offers her a hand up.] Hurry, before it wakes up!

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[Brb eyes popping out first]

That...

[markofthewise]

I said before it wakes up! [He hasn't quite learned his lesson here, so he'll be trying to pull her to her feet. You can imagine how an incredibly horrible idea this is at the moment.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

That hurt!!

[The words slip out before she can stop them as Mercury's pulled up far too forcefully. She rubs at her shoulder with her free hand.]

[markofthewise]

[He lets go and blinks, looking down at his hands.]

Wow... sorry. I... I really don't know what's wrong with me.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head]

It's alright.

[And after a moment more to test her shoulder, this seems to be at least true enough to say.]

1/2

[markofthebrave]

[Oh hey, you hear that down the hallway? It's a bunch of loud THUDS. And then some running feet. Who could it be?]

[markofthebrave]

[Peeking her head in - it's Katara.

She glances between them and - shooting Ami a grateful look, heads straight towards--] Sokka!

[markofthewise]

Katara!

[Uh. Happy as he is to see her, he's gonna be standing there, not even moving. No hugging back at all. He's kind of scared to move and hurt her.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[It's a good feeling to see the brother and sister reunited, and Mercury smiles quietly to herself as she stays to the side so as not to interrupt them. She holds her shoulder with her opposite hand again; it feels more comfortable that way.]

[markofthebrave]

[Sorry, Ami, she'll probably look in your direction in a minute. At the moment, she pulls back and gives Sokka a concerned and searching look.]

What's wrong?

[markofthewise]

Wrong? Nothing! Nothing's wrong. [He quietly tosses aside that hilt that no longer has a blade. That Malnosso droid finally topples over, the blade still lodged inside of it.]

I just don't want to uh. Accidentally crush you or anything. We should get moving. Ami, Katara. Katara, Ami. So you've met. Ready to go?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[It's OK. Mercury steps forward now and nods]

We have to get back before more droids come.

[markofthebrave]

...Okay, that makes no sense.

[What the heck happened to his sword? She reaches back to put her hand on Sokka's sword's hilt, strapped to her back, in order to give it to him.] But you're right, we should get going. The hallway I just came through is clear.

[And then she turns her head to look at Ami, her gratitude plain in her gaze.] Thank you.
