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.

It was hardly more than two days! [Not that he cares if you worked them like slaves or anything. Just knowing that the mission was pretty much over already put Caesar in a significantly better mood than earlier.] Do you even have to ask? You said it yourself, that I'd be caring for a handful of New Feathers. I didn't have any time to nap at all!

I suppose you can catch up on your rest now. [He walks closer, finally dropping his arm and draping his disguise over it.] Were there any problems on your end, babysitting aside?

[Outside the facility]

It's about time! [He pauses to stretch his arms as Albert walks closer.] Nope. Things went about as smoothly as one could hope for in this kind of situation, I suppose.

[But sometimes, he missed the way things were at the castle. If he had to have one more conversation about why he does things the way he does, he's going to punch someone in the face.]
chikaidestroyer: (Not kidding around)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-13 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
As smoothly as one could hope. [He doesn't sound impressed.] Arguments over our constraints?

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-13 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish. [No, really. That would have been so much better in comparison.] People expect too much from familiarity, that's all.

[The word 'friendship' had been brought up, after all, and by now, he knows that's no one's fault but his own.]
chikaidestroyer: (Dead inside)

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-13 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
The problem with mixing business with pleasure. [Loosely speaking.] And being situated in such a small community. I suppose you would have more trouble with that, at your particular age.

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-13 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It was easier at home. I didn't know anyone! [And he'd take those issues of reliability over assumptions of friendship any day. But he shrugs, looking at Albert, an amused smirk on his face.] Hey, are you feeling okay? That was surprisingly understanding of you!
chikaidestroyer: (Patiently explaining)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-13 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[He scoffs, just a little, at Caesar's teasing.] I've been forced to exaggerate my levels of condescension and irritation for the last 40 hours. Perhaps I just want a change of pace.

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-13 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Exaggerate? You mean those don't come naturally to you? [He's still teasing. ...even if it's actually hard to imagine Albert acting how he normally does toward people times like, ten.] All right, all right. I suppose I can allow that.
chikaidestroyer: (Intense calm)

You would be much worse off in self-esteem if that was how I always acted. [He manages a smirk.] Your poor, delicate ego.

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think that's something to be proud of. [He can see that smirk, big bro.] Fortunately, in its current state, I believe some recovery is still possible for my poor, delicate ego.
chikaidestroyer: (Nonchalance)

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-14 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I would hate to stunt it anymore than I already have. [Yeah right.] But perhaps you would like to move away from such an isolated place? [A comment towards the fact that Caesar is up here all alone for the moment.]

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so sure. [At Albert's comment, he looks around for a moment and shrugs. He hadn't really thought of it until then, how quiet and empty everything seemed, but it didn't bother him.] It doesn't matter. I guess we don't really need to be here anymore.
chikaidestroyer: (Standing back)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-14 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
We will have to head back down to return to the transporter. [He frowns, but gestures for Caesar to follow.] We should at least remain near there if it becomes necessary to move quickly. [They didn't have to head back to the village, but staying somewhere secluded was unnecessary.]

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-14 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, I know. You're right. Let's go. [Of course, he'll let Albert lead the way.] I'm so tired, I bet just walking there will feel like an eternity!
chikaidestroyer: (Contemplative)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-16 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[And back down the hill now. It doesn't help that it's dark, so he walks slowly so Caesar can keep up with him; the last thing they needed was for injuries after the mission was mostly over.

He goes around a sparking drone halfway down the hill, shaking his head. There had been similar drones broken up across the field, as well as a few of the building floors.]
Do be careful on your way down.

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[And Caesar follows, maybe walking a little too quickly to keep up.]

Yeah, I- [Whoa, whoa, oops. Caesar abruptly stops as he nearly trips over said drone. Ironically. He mumbles as he steps back and moves to walk around it. Who put that there?] I wish it wasn't so dark out.
chikaidestroyer: (Possibly inattentive)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-16 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He can hear that mumbling, Caesar.] How did you manage to coordinate a night attack with such poor eyesight?

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
I had a lot more sunlight to work with when I got here, that's how. [...not that he means his eyesight is actually bad or anything.]

[Seeing as it would be a terrible thought to think the Silverbergs might have deteriorating vision, Albert does not continue down that road.] And yet you did not invest in any light for yourself? [He's just trying to mock you any way he can, Caesar. It makes the darkness a bit less daunting.]

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Unsurprisingly, he is successful. But Caesar is so busy trying not to trip over anything else that he isn't too bothered by either.]

I thought it was more important to remain hidden. [By which he obviously means he hadn't thought of it at all.]
chikaidestroyer: (Glance through a fringe - darker)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-16 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Albert snorts, distracted enough by his conversation with Caesar that he almost trips over something himself. He stumbles, catching himself from falling by pulling his arms back in the dark. There's a clatter of metallic parts and the creaky grinding sound of something moving right in front of him.

For a moment, he doesn't dare to breathe.]

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's not a pleasant sound. Caesar immediately stops, looking over in his brother's direction. He has to try really hard to refrain from asking out loud, "What did you do?"]
chikaidestroyer: (You have my attention)

[Outside the facility]

[personal profile] chikaidestroyer 2010-10-16 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a bit awkward taking a step backwards while heading down a hill, but it's a much better plan than remaining still as a drone creaks and unsteadily tries to rise to its sparking legs. Albert steps back several more times until he's almost side by side with Caesar.

He's a bit at a loss, trying to gauge how much function the drone had.]

[Outside the facility]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[...this is incredibly uncomfortable to watch. And even as Albert moves to stand by his side, Caesar isn't sure he feels too good about this.

He doesn't say anything, but he elbows his brother's arm instead. Should they really just be standing here still?]
