Assault on City 17: Team Destroy

[acts_of_gord]

The group of Milliways patrons earmarked for the pincer movement is ushered into City 17 without much ceremony. The streets here are cobbled, the buildings grey with age; the handful of cars in the street are old, old things, worn down with time and lack of care. They have the look of machines that were abandoned where their owners fell. This was a

Annabelle looks around for a moment before the young woman gets her attention. "Yes, we're part of the diversionary force. Is there anywhere in particular that we should be headed?"

As she speaks Annabelle is keeping an eye out for Combine. Its going to be a really bad day for any Combine carrying useful equipment.

X stays silent, green eyes flicking from the Milliways team to the new woman to objects in the immediate vicinity and back again.

Ryan does much the same, with the added bonus of flicking the safety off his current weapon of choice (the semi-auto rifle) and putting some distance between himself and the fourth member of their group.

"Oh, it's pretty nasty, but nothing we haven't held up under for the past five or six days," says the woman. "We're looking to draw out three or four Striders from the perimeter around the Citadel, though, so it's gonna get ugly really quickly."

Barney stepped out with a satchel, and pulled some dubious-looking electronic equipment out. "Oh, before I forget: each team gets a radio to coordinate with other teams and personnel to make sure we're smooth. The channels are secure, and should be able to reach any team member within the City 17 area. Remember: this is your lifeline--I only have one to give you.

The channels are labeled as follows:
Channel 1: Destroy
Channel 2: Dunkirk
Channel 3: Ninja
Channel 4: Tennyson
Channel 5: Direct to Valerie/Medics
Channel 6: Global

"I do not want it."

X's voice is perfectly matter of fact.

"It will be a distraction."

"I'm familiar with radio communications," Ryan says after a moment. "I'll take it."

Better he than Donighal. He trusts himself.
