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.

[And Link's just going to... pause awkwardly.]

[...Right. Uh.]

You get the droid, I'll get him out! [he calls to Kouki, shield up as he attempts to extract Kamina.]

[He'd call out for Kamina, but heard Link's words.]

Got it! Ziodyne!

[Pointing at the remaining droid, Kouki cast the strong electric spell at it. It hit it, causing the droid to stagger, but he quickly cast the spell again in that temporary moment of weakness.]

[ WALLS ARE NOTHING TO KAMINA.

the debris does make it a little hard to move, though. he starts kicking immediately and after one particularly hard shove manages to get an arm free to wave it frantically.

it's this arm that grabs at Link, hauling himself the rest of the way out of the hole. it puts him in the perfect position to look over Link's shoulder ] ...hey, HEY!

Watch it, that other one is getting back up!

[ No. 1, looking burnt and on the verge of falling apart, is indeed clamoring back up for one last dive, this time at Kouki. ]

[As soon as Kamina's out, Link detaches, whirling around.] It has to have a weak spot! [he tells the others urgently,] Where do you think it is? [And WHOA METAL ARM IN THE FACE. Hope it enjoys a shield bash in return.]

[Oh look, the arm is off. Well, that helps.]

[Crap, it's coming for him! Kouki is moving to keep his distance.]

The head? Power source? Ziodyne!

[He aims the spell at the shoulder, where the arm was ripped off. Hey, that seems to be effective! It looks like it, anyway.]

[ That must have been the right combination, considering the droid stops, sizzles, and then EXPLODES, scattering smoke and debris in all directions and leaving black blast marks on the walls.

Kamina himself is thrown back a foot or two, right into No. 2.

But he knows how to beat it this time.

He spins, ducks under a wild swing, and jams the tip of his sword into the joint where arm meets torso. Metal groans and wires snap and after a bellowed "HHAAAAAAHHH!" the arm clangs to the ground. ]

Again! Shoot that lightning stuff inside the hole!

[Link ducks instinctively, although he's still going to get a bit cut up. Nothing serious, he's had worse, but still - ow.]

[The lightning works? Good! With a yell, Link jams his own sword into another joint, sending a metal panel on its torso flying.] Okay, go! [he shouts, dragging Kamina back so his shield covers both of them.]

[Kouki, too, ducks and covers himself, which isn't as effective as Link's shield. Ow.

Hearing Kamina's words and Link's prompt, he quickly get back onto his feet and cast another spell at the droid, aiming for the hole, where the insides can be attacked.]

Ziodyne!

[ZAP!]

[ The second EXPLOSION is just as, if not bigger than the first.

This time, Kamina knows enough to duck into one of the bigger holes in the wall, avoiding the spray of metal and parts entirely. When the smoke clears and the hallway gets quiet again - quiet except for the sounds of battle off in the distance - he pokes his head out and gives a THUMBS UP.

For victory. ]

All right guys, we totally did it!

[RIGHT, WHERE'S HIS ITEM.]

[Anyway. Link grins at his partners in battling, lowering the shield.] That was really neat!

[YAY, EXPERIENCE! ~~Inserting a point into AGI now~~]

We did it!

[Looking over at them.] Are you guys alright?

I'm doing great!

[ Kamina: singed, bruised, bleeding.

so...great! if he had his robot he'd stick a piece of THOSE robots on it, but alas. ]

Is there anybody else coming behind you two? I already cleared the rest of these rooms, but they might still be fighting outside.

[A quick glance around, then Link shakes his head.] I don't know, I was just checking that everyone got out. There's still fighting outside, though.

[Slinging his bow back in place, he glances between the two.] Wanna go join them? I'm Link, by the way.

I know a few that's looking for people they know here, but they'll get out.

[And he believes they will.]

Oh and I'm Kouki, Link...and I want to join the battle outside.

Link, huh? You were pretty good! Remind me to look you up when this is all over.

We should head outside, if that's where the action is!

[ and Kouki get's a hair ruffl--OH GOD WHERE ARE HIS EARS. ] K...Kouki! What happened to you?! What did they do?!

[ for the uninformed: Kamina thinks Kouki's headphones are part of his head. ]

[Link grins, swinging the sword in his hand.] Okay, we should work out - huh?

[Dammit Kamina what's happened now.]

[He blinks.]

Huh? They did nothing to me.

[Beside kidnapping and drugging him.]

[ Pardon Kamin while he grabs Kouki and starts feeling his head with both hands. ]

Your ears!

Your ears are gone!

[Again: huh? How does someone lose their ears, exactly?]

[Half self-consciously, Link raises his hands to his own ears. Well, they're still there...]

Uh...I didn't lose my ears, Kamina-san.

[He can still hear you, you know.]

But they're gone! They were right--[ ...now he feels something under Kouki's hair.

feels like

ears. normal ears. ] ...they gave you new ones?

[....SUSPICIOUS, he looks at Link. ] Did you get new ears, too?

[Clinging to his ears, now.] No one's touched my ears! Besides, I only just got here.

[YOU'RE REALLY WEIRD, KAMINA.]

They did nothing to my ears!

[Geez, it's like Kamina thinks his 'normal' ears are...

...

Oh. Oh.]

Are you talking about my headphones?

[ YEAH LINK, YOU'D BETTER PROTECT THEM.

SOMEONE MIGHT STEAL 'EM. 8U

meanwhile: ] Your what?

[Link only... vaguely knows what a phone is, and is now picturing one sitting on someone's head. Don't mind him, he's just looking bewildered in the corner...]
