mission time
((Mission for Allison, Kat, Laura, and Logan. OOC thread for discussion is here.

She needed to get down there, do her distraction thing, let off some steam, and figure out how long it would take her to pack her shit when she got back.
Under one hand was a silver, flame retardant blanket that she was going to have nearby for when all was said and done, and under the other was a spare uniform. Once they got on the ground, Allison needed a cigarette.
At least the bad mood was keeping her quiet, right?

"Hey. We doing this thing?" she was antsy and nervy, eager to go on her first mission with an actual team.

She simply waited by the vehicle, watching the group.

"Let's do this."
In a few short sentences, he repeated their mission brief, stated his plans for doing what they'd have to do, and explained the rough timeline they'd have to follow. He also repeated the instructions that there would be necessary violence only, looking pointedly at Allison when he said it.
Normally, this sort of thing would have been done on the plane, where it couldn't be overheard - but there lay the problem. Once they got on the plane, Logan wasn't in the mood for talking. He actually managed to squeeze out a monosyllable here and there, but that was it. One of these days, he should really get used to planes. But this was not that day. Parachuting down was almost a relief.

They landed, and after stowing their chutes they were off to camp. Antsy didn't begin to describe Allison's mood, and she milled around camp long into the night, when she should've been resting up. Instead, she paced, chewing on her fingernails until they hurt.

Landing on the ground easily, she grinned at the others, pushing a hand back through her hair before she twisted into a ponytail.
"That was fun."
That over with, camp was set up and Kat milled around, still in a reasonably good mood. She loved missions and this one didn't seem very different than the ones she'd been on before. She fell asleep fairly quickly, leaving Logan and Laura to keep watch until the morning while she and Allison, the only two who needed sleep, got it.

Laura sat and waited as the two others slept, holding almost perfectly still for most of the night. It was likely she probably wasn't going to say a whole lot during this mission, if she said anything at all.

"This might be a little disconcerting." she pulled them both through wall after wall, making sure that they avoided the guards, and soon they were staring at the warhead.
Silently, Kat glanced at the weapon, raising an eyebrow at Logan. She could phase it out but she wasn't sure she could lift the damned thing. It had to weigh a ton.

"Disconcerting?" he asked when they were finally inside, practically glaring. That wasn't disconcerting, it was downright sickening, going through things, feeling them go through you. He was never doing that again, if he could help it. Of course, with his luck, he probably couldn't.
The warhead was big and heavy enough that they wouldn't be able to carry it out, but Logan hadn't expected them to. There had to be something to move it nearby; it wasn't a museum piece, meant to stay there forever. Looking around, Logan's eyes settled on an open jeep that was in the building.
"Get that jeep over here."
He himself jumped on top of the table the warhead was lying on, flexing his arm muscles. Should be able to do it. He only had to lift it for a little bit - or carefully drag it into the jeep.

"Yes sir." Catching sight of the jeep, she nodded and jogged for it, quickly getting into the back.
There were no keys, but hell, hot-wiring was easy. Starting the vehicle, she carefully backed it closer to the warhead, taking pains to ensure she didn't get too close.

"Move over."
With their objective in their possession, it was a matter of waiting until the five minutes were over - not much longer now - before they could drive off, hopefully without being spotted.

And there it was. The quake of the ground. Her eyes widened as she felt it and heard the alarms start to go off. She tensed, but out of excitement. She needed to stay solid for now despite the fact that she wanted to phase.
"You drive into a wall, I'll phase us through it. Just in case, alright?" she grinned at Logan.
Reply
"You watch the walls, I'll get the door," he said, stepping on the gas to drive them most of the way there. They needed to do this fast, pick up Laura and Allison, and get back to the pick-up site.
Hitting the breaks, he jumped out of the jeep, dragging open the doors. There was still a guard outside, who began to protest - not as loudly as he might have, thanks to Allison's antics distracting and confusing him - and Logan dragged the man into the building before he could reach for his gun, pushing him against a wall hard, and hitting him, that second blow to the head knocking him out. Leaving him lying where he was - no time for cleaning up; no need to when their presence was already being announced so loudly - Logan got back in the jeep, driving off.
