As lead element -- or, "The Distraction," to his own only-reluctantly-military perspective -- Grif arrives first, in a flash of PINpoint light, which deposits him in the prison's courtyard. He's got a plasma rifle at the ready, and after a quick glance around to make sure everything matched up with that he expects, he lets off a stitch of blue-green fire along one of the prison's walls.
With his helmet's speakers cranked up as high as they'll go, he shouts, "HEY! CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET TO DISNEYLAND? I THINK I TOOK A WRONG TURN!"
Standing still isn't exactly very wise, tactically, even as a distraction, so it's at this point that he starts running... with an explosive grenade thrown in the other direction. Let the game begin.
Five hundred yards outside the gates, there's a set of lights that glow, stretch, connect, and fade. When they go, they leave behind a mass of metal and machinery easily big enough to cover an entire football field. It has a single massive cannon on top, the bore able to swallow a good-sized car. The sides are lined with smaller guns. Painted on the front are the words:
FOR THE HONOR OF THE BRIGADE.
Unit CLE-12122174 of the Dinochrome Brigade, Charlie the Bolo, has arrived as fire support. God help them all.
And on the roof of the prison, a single portal appears, leaving Eiko behind.
A few moments later, Quinn- rather, Dragonfly, as she's set her mindset for the moment- appears via PINpoint.
The holographic, semi-solid wings projected from the back of the suit flicker into existence with a momentary hum, unfurling out to a just-over-eighteen-foot wingspan- large, but not nearly enough to lift her if it weren't for the abstruse manipulations of aerodynamics the 'machinery' uses.
The explosion echoed throughout the massive facility, guards of various kinds aimed weapons at Grif and fired without questioning, another guard activated the alarm, the klaxons blaring loudly.
Martok, at his desk, glanced up and frowned, "System, access." He frowned further at the holo-image that was generated, he stood, and headed out. This was something that required his personal attention.
Charlie didn't go unnoticed either. He was first detected by the motion-sensing cannons that came out of the shifting sands, aimed downards, and then moving to aim forward, towards their newest target. The Unitanks engines roared to life, and they trudged forward, just slightly behind the cannons. The large top-cannons moving to aim for the distant target, the forward cannons also rotating to aim.
Eiko and Dragonfly's collective arrival goes mostly unnoticed in the utter chaos that is occurring around them, red lights lit up throughout the metallic halls.
