Zompania Draft - The Infiltration [Day 3]

[tearmeanewone]

Who: Thor Odinson, Zuko, Fayt Leingod, Silver, Naru Shikamaru, Rudy Roughnight, Elizabeth, Robert Lutece, Levi, James T. Kirk, Sam Yao, Itachi Uchiha + organized distraction teams
What: THE GREAT BOMB DISARMING
Where: The sub-basement of the Zompania school
Summary: Once the bomb is discovered, a smaller team of Luceti's draftees descend upon it with one goal-- secure and disarm the bomb, or face that creepy staring-thing again. (This wasn't anybody's last day before retiring, right...?)
When: Day 3 of the draft
Rating: Violence and possible torture on Team Capture's end...

((Repost of the Mod Info:

To get to the bomb and disarm it, the team of infiltrators must:

Disable the shield that is around the bomb. The power for the shield is being diverted from Zompania’s barrier.

The bomb is heavily guarded by Shifters and Foot Soldiers, all of whom must be disabled or killed.

Deal with the five cultist “scientists” in the sub-basement, who are integrating the power source they crafted at the altar, using all of those sacrifices. There are several books with them, which contain all of their research. Just stopping the scientists will basically save the day, but you really don’t want to leave what is effectively a nuclear bomb powered by souls just lying around, do you? Of course you don’t.

Disarm/destroy the bomb. How will you do it? Read the schematics? Make the scientists do it? Watch out, one of them might trigger the self-destruct mechanism...



It is ultimately up to the draftees to decide what to do with the bomb, the scientists, and the information they hold. But if they succeed, this changes the course of history. The bomb is not dropped.))

[That prompts an actual chuckle, brief though it may be]

I assume Kakashi told you that. He and I need to have a talk about spreading tales about a lady's age.

[She snorts]

I'm a shinigami. We don't age like humans do. I'm not even that old as far as we get--my former commanding officer has held his position for over two thousand years. And I think they were still calling him 'the old man' back when he started.

[For a very brief moment Ginia wonders how well Yoruichi and Kakashi know each other but quickly dismisses the thought as silly. It's a small village, she lives on the same floor, and she's in the alliance. No doubt they've talked and probably trained together if he's quick to vouch for her.

Shinigami. She knows enough Japanese to know it means "death god" or at least some spirit of death. Certainly useful to have on the field, especially on their side.]

Got it and I won't tell anyone your age lady's promise.

[skyleopardess]

I'm not as touchy about it as all that. I just like giving him a hard time.

[Anyone as difficult to needle as Kakashi is practically begging to be teased at any given moment.]

[She hasn't cracked him yet, but one of these days.]

I just tend not to publicize it because people get weird about things out of their comfort zone. We don't kill humans, we just guide them when they die.

[Not that she can even do that here--she shudders to think where a spirit would go if she tried a soul burial in Luceti. Would it be trapped forever in limbo, unable to get to the afterlife?]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

Got it. And I like giving him a hard time too.

[Right. Moving on. Ginia pauses as she hears heavy boom and feels a heavy rumble from something crashing. Their angle doesn't give them a good view, but Ginia has a good hunch it's one of the airships coming down. Good.]

I'm going to have to ask you later about the afterlife in your world.

[Because even after her conversation with Saori about the afterlife, Ginia is still pretty certain there's either nothing waiting for her or some sort of personal hell. But it's nice hearing how things go in other worlds.]

[skyleopardess]

Anytime. Just let me know.

[Her eyes narrow as she hears the noise from the airship, her gaze coming into sharper focus. She pushes herself off the wall, straightening up to check the area.]

That might have been one of the airships. I need to flag down one of the ghosts and check in.

[If it was, they'll need to regroup, and Yoruichi can contact the rest of the team and let them know which areas to concentrate their efforts in.]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

I'm going to peek around the corner, see if there are any patrols in the area or something else.

[Ginia stretches lightly before drawing her machete and quietly creeping out from their hiding spot. She moves slowly, watching each step on the pavement to not make any sound. Kipinn's power is good for masking sound, but she doesn't want to risk drawing Shift Hunters in or burning herself out too fast.

She leans around the corner, keeping a low profile. There's a bit of dust and smoke rising up in the north as well as a patrol of five - one Elite, four Foot Soldiers - moving in that direction. Ginia ducks back around and gestures back northward and mimes smoke and dust rising up. Then she holds up five fingers and makes a small flapping motion with her hands before pointing northward again.]
