Payback [Closed]

Aug 20, 2010 22:03

This ship was still a dangerous place. There were a lot of things that were out of their control, and problems they could manage, but few that they could fix. One of the biggest ongoing problems was GLaDOS, who routinely caused crew members to disappear, some for good.

Worst of all, there was nothing that could be done about it.

Until nowWhich ( Read more... )

John came to the precinct ready for action. They might be fighting an AI, but that didn't mean he was going in there prepared only for that fight. GLaDOS might obtain control over some of the ship's tentacle, or any other number of things. So to be safe he'd brought his full loadout for the most part. It should be more than enough for anything it could throw against them, and if it wasn't they had a much bigger problem than GLaDOS kidnapping people. Once he was at the Precinct John found a table, and busied himself double checking his gear, especially the CODEC. If there was one person he didn't want to lose touch with on this op it was Kusanagi.

The Major herself had preceded him by half an hour, and had completed her own double-check since. Connor got a brief, professional nod when he arrived, but nothing more. Then again, the codec in John's ear wouldn't need her vocal response to receive a transmission; the joys of technology.

It went without saying that he'd gone against this particular kind of enemy almost exclusively in the past. That experience would tell in the upcoming fight, as much as anything else. Fucking GLaDOS.

John returned the nod, and continued his preparations. He was glad she was going on this op. She had her head on right, and wouldn't hold back when it came time to tear GLaDOS apart. Hopefully the others came with the same mindset, and equipment.

Indigo shows up soon after getting the message. She shows up with no gear, just herself, her plantsuit, and a package tucked under her arm. Of course, she doesn't need the kind of gear they're loading themselves down with.

She steps into the room where her sensors detect John and the Major, and gives the pair a friendly wave. She sets the package down on a table and stands with her hands clasped behind her back, waiting for the Captain to show.

You Have One Hour meatbabies August 22 2010, 00:23:40 UTC

If there are any last minute weapons checks, or any goodbyes you want to say, now would be the time.

But do be careful what you say outside the city, the walls do have ears...

When the others started to clear the room, Leon had motioned quietly for Claire to wait for a moment. He was well aware that she could handle herself, so he didn't have much of a problem with her going on this mission. Not that he would've been able to stop her if he had wanted to. But there was one issue that needed to be addressed.

"Are you sure about this?" He finally asked, once they were alone.

redfield August 23 2010, 05:53:28 UTC

She'd actually already intended to stay, but his motion to her just kind of solidified that. She hadn't given Sherry much by way of explanation of what was going on, figuring she could explain it when she got back. And if she didn't get back, then Sherry just wouldn't remember. The latter wasn't exactly a thought she was going to linger on.

She smiled a little at Leon's question, setting her gear down for a moment and moving to slide her hands through his.

"I'm sure." Nevermind she was probably technically the least experienced fighter going, that wasn't really even something she was bothered by. "It's gotta get done, right?" And GLaDOS had royally pissed her off.

governmentninja August 23 2010, 06:10:55 UTC

"Yeah, it does," he agreed, pulling her closer. "But," he started, then trailed off for a moment.

"I don't want to forget you." That was the part of the mission he was least looking forward to.

And at the given time and place, the team has reassembled.

Leon looked down at his Omnicomm as he recieved the message. The AI's Cortana and Andromeda had begun distracting GLaDOS and Stacy.

Leon nodded at Indigo.

"You're up."

indigoblueberry August 23 2010, 03:16:57 UTC

Indigo nods. "Please step back." She takes out her package, and unwraps it to reveal a portal gun, much like what GLaDOS passed out in her mazes. Taking a second, she fires, leaving a hole in the wall for the team to step through.

"I'll go first to make sure that the area is safe." Like she had in Spacewalk. Waiting just a second, she steps through the portal, gun held loosely at her side, and hand held up, ready to eliminate a threat if there's one immediately present.

doesnt_afraid August 23 2010, 03:26:25 UTC

The room is familiar to anyone who's been spirited away by GLaDOS already, with sterile white walls that all seem the same.

There's already somebody in here.

A man dressed in a podsuit is jumping several platforms, carrying a portal gun. Each platform, which is moving back and forth, tries to dump him when he lands on it so he's forced to keep making increasingly less well aimed leaps. He finally reaches a stable landing as an opening appears in the wall, he raises the portal gun reflexively but stops.

He recognizes this person, but how-?

"Indigo? What are you doing here?"

The man is huge, near seven feet tall with a scarred face. There's something oddly familiar about him, a sense of de ja vu...
