Touma was nervous. He was also afraid. Not of what he was going to face in there... but of what could happen if he failed.
Over these last few years... the Royal Base had become like a home to him.
And he wouldn't let it go without a fight.
Sighing, he turned to Sally. "Are you ready?" he asked his co-captain. "It won't be long."

But at the moment, she couldn't worry about that. She looked at Tohma, trying to put on a confident smile.
"I'm as ready as I can be," she replied.

"Like I said... it's almost time," he said. "Everyone, depending on how things go inside, we could be looking at straight infiltration or we could walk into a horde of enemies. But I'm confident you'll give it your all..."
He took a deep breath.
"Is everyone ready?"
((People can now go.))

"Absolutely," Zero said. "Didn't get to finish the job last time; damn sure going to make sure it is THIS time."

He glanced down. He'll come through if he needs to.
"Ready!" he said cheerfully. "And if anyone needs a boost in morale I even brought extra pictures of my wonderful daughter!" Not that he expected anyone to take them, but hopefully it would lighten the mood.

"We're ready." X spoke up firmly. Veemon nodded vigorously from his perch on X.
X was nervous on the inside, and worried, but it was almost normal for him when getting ready to go into a heavily fortified enemy base. A sort of professional calm had settled over him during the wait at this staging area. But his concern about the outcome was enough that he'd donned his Ultimate Armor for this situation. This was was a situation for nothing less than his best.

"Come on," he said, rushing forward with Gaomon at his side. As it turned out, Koushirou had apparently been successful, as no proximity alarms were activated when they came closer... nor were they when Gaomon punched in the nearest door.
"... We're in luck," said Touma. "Come on... we need to get to the power core of the cannon... logic says that it's beneath the rest of the complex..."

She followed Touma -- he was leading the way on this mission.

"We'll cover the rear," he said, "but we've gotta move fast. They were on us in no time last trip once they caught wind we were there."

Labramon was just ahead of him, nose to the floor, sniffing out anything that could or would be pertinent--or immediately dangerous.

The facility itself not being especially large or complex, locating the power core was a simple task. Touma's estimate was right on the money, as it rested directly beneath the gun. A floor above them separated the chamber housing the core from the gun itself, and the bodies of working Digimon could be seen through grates in said flooring.
Touma's eyes darted around the core chamber. The coast seemed clear, but that also seemed a bit too easy...
"Quickly, but quietly," Touma said, motioning forward. "Set charges around the base of that core, but keep an eye out."
[ooc - Ken here on behalf of Raz, moving the thread to here per his request. ^_^ And, obviously, Touma is NPCed with his permission. :P I'll hold off on Zero for now, but tag ( ... )

She moved swiftly but carefully, for she like Touma was worried. This could be far too easy.

And THAT certainly could have turned out better.
Not that he was wholly nervous; he'd dove head first into worse and come out. But he was definitely cautious.

Veemon hurried forward, proceeding X, carrying his charges under his arm. X had his own charges clipped to his hip to keep his hands free.

It was the longest stretch of ground and he was used to this kind of action. Most of the people he was with were kids; better him than them if something happened.
