Adagio Recovery Op, Part 1

[10:42] * Swept_Wing comes trotting into the hangar, where all of the 16 or so pilots are milling around. "Steel Wings! Atteeeeeeeeenshun!"
[10:42] * Swoop snaps to attention.
[10:44] * Adagio (b83c1f9f@Pony-as7jld.dynamic.tds.net) has joined channel #DeadCityOps
[10:46] * Snowshoe (Sturmmann@Pony-jr1eoo.user.start.ca) has joined channel #DeadCityOps
[10:46] * Rough_Waters (~60ff5982@Pony-4df5a1.fios.verizon.net) has joined channel #DeadCityOps
[10:46] <Snowshoe> [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzWUs_f3pyM obligatory due to channel name]
[10:46] * Swept_Wing stalks down the line. "Now, the Captain has announced that there is going to be a long range rescue op. Three verts outfitted in full combat loadouts. Dark Cloud, I want those Daisy Cutters mounted immediately, and switch out the Gatling Laser for a 20mm. 20/20, Burnt Tail, Streak. You help him. Golden Star, Greywing, Cloudy Skies, Swoop, and Gale Wing, over here with me. Dismissed!"
[10:46] <Swept_Wing> [lol]
[10:47] * Swoop hops to stand next to Swept.
[10:47] <~Blackout> [The Army has assembled.]
[10:47] <Swoop> [Combat Ops! WEEE!]
[10:47] <~Blackout> #DeadCityOpsOOC it really might help with so many damn ppl.]
[10:49] <Swept_Wing> "Steel 8, you're my wing on this. Steel 4, you're flying tail. Get your Verts ready. I've got Rangers to round up."
[10:50] * Swoop salutes and trots off with Gale Wing.
[10:50] <Swept_Wing> Wind* oops]]
[10:50] <Swoop> [whoevah!]
[10:50] <Snowshoe> [dat guy dere]
[10:51] <Rough_Waters> (Fuck da police)
[10:51] * Blackout sets mode +o Adagio for #DeadCityOps
[10:52] * Swept_Wing turns, marching out of the hangar to track down Chance and Juryrig.
[10:53] * Swoop begins removing vent covers and checking ammo, then arms the explosives as they're racked.
[10:53] * Blackout trots into the hanger bay with Rough_Waters and Snowshoe. He looks around, noticing Swept_Wing and Swoop with the Steel Wing pilots and verts. The hanger is a wide dome shaped design with concrete supports. A retractible roof allows entry and exit for said vertibucks.
[10:54] * Rough_Waters has changed into her standard armor, tank on her back, mask around her neck, and as always, a smile on her face
[10:54] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe's eyes are wide, and her compulsion for stickyhooves and exploration kept making her want to leave Blackout's side. But she had a mission to do. Her rifle, hanging from her neck, bounced against what used to be an orange safety vest, now painted black and turned into a tactical, armoured vest.
[10:55] * Blackout trots forward towards Swept_Wing. "LT! Status please!" He is already kitted out with a Kalash and plethora of other gear, his mask was on already.
[10:56] * Swoop has her earpiece in and humms along as she works.
[10:56] * Swept_Wing nods to Blackout. Three Daisy Cutters are sitting around nearby, while several pilots were under Vertibucks, welding an extra set of hardpoints onto them. "Working sir! Steel 1, 4, and 8 will be ready in 20 minutes."
[10:57] * Blackout nods. "Good good, and have the Steelies and ops been notified?"
[10:57] * Rough_Waters trots beside Blackout, simply smiling as she looks around
[10:57] <Snowshoe> "We gunna be flying in one of those?" Snowshoe asked, staring at the vehicles. "And...should I have a mask as well?"
[10:58] <Swept_Wing> "I'm heading there right now sir."
[10:58] <~Blackout> "No. I'll handle that, get these birds ready."
[10:59] * Swept_Wing nods, saluting. "Yessir!"
[10:59] * Blackout turns to Snowshoe. "Three of them actually, amazing aren't they? Only ten exist."
[11:00] <Snowshoe> "I'd believe it. Seriously gets me wet thinking about the mechanics behind it. Maybe once this is over, I can spend quality time with one?" she asked.
[11:00] <~Blackout> "..." he turns and trots over to a radio station on a far wall, not answering that.
[11:00] * Swept_Wing turns back around, motioning for 20/20 to come over. They talked, and then moved to Swept's Vert, and began exchanging the Gatling Laser with a 20mm minigun.
[11:01] <Snowshoe> "Not like that, genius. I just want to look at how it works. I've only gotten an engine working once, these look fucking cool."
[11:01] * Swoop chats with Gale Wind, then they start doing the same.
[11:02] <~Blackout> In about a minute, fourteen soldiers dressed in similar uniform, armor, and gear hustle into the hanger. All armed and rather dangerous looking. They line up in two columns near the vertibucks.
[11:04] * Blackout sprints back over. "Alright, rangers are here, and Steelies are on the way. Plenty of support." he looks to Snowshoe. "You just signed on as a tech, sound good?"
[11:04] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe gives as best a salute as she knows, seen from old, ripped pre-war posters. "Yessir. Whatcha need me to do exactly?"
[11:05] <~Blackout> "Well the techs will be handling the stasis pod. So you work with them, I have it on good notion you are good with tech?" he asks.
[11:06] <Swept_Wing> The two pilots of Steel 4 are also exchanging their minigun. The Daisy Cutters are now being fitted onto the bottoms of the Verts, with much struggling and grunting.
[11:06] <Snowshoe> "They don't nickname me Tinker for nothing, boss. It'll knock me out, but I can even use my magic to fix literally anything back to working order. Bigger the job, longer I'm out."
[11:07] * Swoop glances at the ordinance being attached. "That's gonna be a bitch to lift with..."
[11:08] * Blackout nods. "Outstanding." Just as this is said five power armor ponies trot into the hanger as well. Now everyone was present. "LT, where are we at?"
[11:08] <Swept_Wing> Dark Cloud nods. "Yup. These engines should be able to do it though. They're more powerful than those old Liberties."
[11:08] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe got a bit nervous seeing the armoured ponies come in, but for once, they weren't gunning for her. "So, you never answered as to whether I need a gas mask or not."
[11:08] * Swoop shrugs and boards her bird to check electrical conections with the bomb.
[11:09] * Swept_Wing grunts, slamming the last bolt into place. "Just gotta run the ammo an' fuel 'em up. Go ahead and start loading!"
[11:09] * Blackout shakes his head. "Perhaps. I don't know what the facility will be like." he points to a storage area in the corner of the hanger. "In there is plenty of gear, get a gasmask and then come back."
[11:10] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe trots over, grabbing herself a mask and hanging it from her neck, not wanting to waste the filters on it. She grabbed a few extras, stuffing them into her pack, as well as any extra ammo she thought she'd need before trotting her way back.
[11:12] * Blackout turns to Swept_Wing. "LT. Over here please."
[11:12] * Swept_Wing yells at the ground crew, who starts fueling the Verts, before trotting over to Blackout. "What is it sir?"
[11:13] * Blackout draws out the map that Adagio had given him. There are three locations marked. "We have three choices."
[11:14] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe trots over to one of the vertibucks, keeping out of the way of the crew while she looks over it, wide-eyed like a filly on Hearth Warming's Eve.
[11:14] * Rough_Waters smiles, just standing around, ready to go. She doesnt have much prepping to do
[11:14] * Swept_Wing slides his Aviators down, peering at the map. "Hmm." He points his hoof at one of them, a M.O.P faucility in Green Hay. "That one."
[11:15] <~Blackout> To Snowshoe, she can clearly tell they are not like the vertibucks the Enclave had, these look much more... Dangerous.
[11:15] <Snowshoe> "I want one," she whinnies, taking a good look at the tail gun on one of them.
[11:16] * Blackout nods looking on the map. "Alright LT. We go there then and move on if we miss."
[11:17] * Swoop finishes prep and gets out to don her flight gear while Gale, already in hers, watches the fueling.
[11:18] <Swept_Wing> The Vertibucks are armed with 2x 70mm 38-tube rocket pods, 2x .50 cal machine guns, 1x 20mm minigun, 6x AIM-3 Spifire Missiles, and 12x Hellfire anti-tank missiles.
[11:18] * Swept_Wing nods. "Alright." He turns. "Load 'em up!"
[11:18] * Blackout checks his watch. "Swept. Get your soldiers together in formation for a briefing, then we head out. Get this done as quick as possible."
[11:19] <Swept_Wing> "Pilots, over here."
[11:19] <Snowshoe> "Which one of these awesome machines of killtasticness do I ride?" Snowshoe asked to nopony in particular, prodding the minigun. "And do I get to shoot something with this?"
[11:19] * Swoop finally gets dressed and trots over.
[11:20] <Swept_Wing> 20/20 looks at Snowshoe. "One of them, and no, that's what the pilots do."
[11:21] <Snowshoe> "Bah. It looks like it'd kick a whole lot of flank." Snowshoe looks at 20/20. "Guess I'll be in this one."
[11:21] <~Blackout> Gathered around Blackout are rangers, Steelies, pilots, Snowshoe, Rough_Waters, and whoever else. "Alrighty. Setup is this, rangers secure the surface while Steelies, Rough, Snowshoe, and myself go in and check for the HVT. Clear?"
[11:22] <Swept_Wing> "Clear sir!"
[11:22] <Swoop> "What's the target for the Daisy Cutters?"
[11:22] <Snowshoe> "Clear like your head, sir."
[11:22] * Rough_Waters nodnods, smiling and sitting on her rump
[11:23] <Swept_Wing> Proverb is totally there, she nods.
[11:23] * Blackout looks to Swoop. "One crazed superpowered zony pegasus. Pray she doesn't start flying at you. Assuming target turns hostile that is."
[11:23] <Swoop> "Understood sir."
[11:25] * Blackout nods. "Steelies are in the first vert with me, Snowshoe, and Rough. Rangers will split between the other two and secure perimeter when we arrive. Any questions?"
[11:26] <Snowshoe> "Are snacks going to be served on the flight?" Snowshoe jokes, standing in a crowd to try (and fail) at blending in.
[11:27] <~Blackout> "Yes. Lead cake and frag soup. Alright, load up. We have a scheduale to keep."
[11:27] <Swept_Wing> "You heard the Captain! Move it!"
[11:27] * Swept_Wing makes double time for his Vert.
[11:28] * Swoop trots off to her bird and gets herself situated, grinning the entire time. She lives for this.
[11:28] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe nods, running for the vert indicated by Blackout. She gets in, looking at the Steel Rangers, still rather nervous about them.
[11:28] <~Blackout> Instantaneous scattering of ponies follows. Blackout follows after Swept.
[11:28] * Rough_Waters hops over to the bird she was flying in, smiling
[11:29] * Swept_Wing straps in, slipping his headset on, Golden Star, his co-pilot, joining him shortly.
[11:29] <~Blackout> The Steelies all take their seats and strap in. Blackout does as well, he puts on a headset.
[11:30] * Swoop gets on her intercom. "Fillies an gentlecolts, thank you for choosing "Kick-flank Airways. We know you have other choices in your LZ Delivery service and we appreciate that you go with the best."
[11:30] * Swept_Wing chuckles. "Steel Wings! Report in!"
[11:31] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe looks around at the Steel Rangers. "Sound off, who has the funniest name?" she teased.
[11:31] <Swoop> "Our flight time should be as fast as fucking possible with ten thousand pounds of boom strapped to our balls. The captain has lit the "Smoke if you got'em" sign, so relax and injoy the ride."
[11:32] * Swoop switches to radio. "Steel 8 ready to spinup."
[11:32] <~Blackout> One answers. "Chocolate Rumcake, ma'am."
[11:32] <Swept_Wing> "Steel 4, standing by sir."
[11:33] <Snowshoe> "That's actually not too bad, actually." Snowshoe grins, lifting her rifle and cradling it a bit so it stopped bumping against the pony next to her. "Not really used to Steel Rangers not shooting my ass off."
[11:33] * Blackout talks into the intercom. "Swept GC gave us a green light, get this flight on the move."
[11:33] <~Blackout> The ranger nods. "We get that constantly."
[11:34] <Snowshoe> "Well to be fair you guys do have a bit of a PR problem in the Greater Manehattan Area."
[11:34] * Swept_Wing nods. "Steel 1, ready to rock and roll." He reaches up, flicking switches on the panel above him. The engines start to hum, the rotors spinning up with a high-pitched whine.
[11:34] * Swoop begins engine start an watches the gagues as the rotors spin to idle.
[11:34] <~Blackout> He snorts. "Haven't chatted with them in twelve years. Not even a Hearth's Warming Eve card! Can you believe that?!?"
[11:35] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe giggled. "Bullshit, really? The nerve of some ponies!"
[11:36] <Swept_Wing> Swept spreads his wings, flying in place, his Vert rising towards the hangar ceiling, which swung open to let them through.
[11:36] <~Blackout> he chuckles. "Exactly. Not that we care, only really communicate with the nothern detachments."
[11:37] <Snowshoe> "Too bad, I'm tired of getting shot at by folks with funny, food-based names."
[11:37] * Swoop waits while Steel 4 leaves, then flaps a few times to fall in behind them.
[11:38] <Swept_Wing> The Verts rise out of the hangar, leveling off at roughly 30,000 feet, before the engines rotate and they speed off into the night with a roar.
[11:38] * Blackout uses his intercoms. "Welcome aboard all, this is Blackout, the flight attendant, and we are looking at cloudy skies with winds from the south east, travel time is twenty minutes, and that's enough for a song, any suggestions?"
[11:39] * Swoop humms to herself, not realizing the radio's transmitting.
[11:39] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe lets out a little eep as the vert takes off, not used to flying at all. "Holy shit this is cool."
[11:40] * Blackout turns to Snowshoe. "Now imagine jumping out of it."
[11:41] * Rough_Waters giggles its fun
[11:42] <@Adagio> [The sun is easing along to late afternoon as the simple single story building emerges on the horizon, the M.O.P. logo adorns the remains of a landing pad on the roof]
[11:42] * Blackout calls out over the intercom. "Swept, what's our status?"
[11:42] * Swept_Wing clicks his headset on. "Destination in sight sir. Steel Wings, go weapons hot."
[11:43] * Swoop looks over the terrain, picking out a save spot to put down in case of emergency, then arms everything.
[11:43] * Swept_Wing flicks all the red rocker switches that say ARM on them.
[11:43] <@Adagio> [The temperature and wind bear the telltale signs of a storm brewing, the scent of snow is borne on the wind, as the Vertibucks race towards their destination more features become obvious]
[11:44] * Blackout calls out again. "Careful with targets, there may be hostiles, but the HVT may or may not be hostile. Keep that in mind."
[11:44] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe checks the magazines on both her pistol and rifle, then makes sure their loaded, safety on (for now). She does this twice more, obviously a little nervous.
[11:44] * Rough_Waters simply hums, smiling, bobbing her head, not seeming to show that theres any real danger possible
[11:44] <Swept_Wing> "Roger that. Steel 4, keep an eye on the weather, I'd rather not get caught in a thunderstorm."
[11:44] * Swoop scans for targets.
[11:44] <@Adagio> [This facility was designed to withstand everything that the M.O.P. could imagine.  It has weathered well but still shows the wrath of spellfire and two hundred years of abuse by the elements]
[11:45] * Flashbang (BGPony_77@Pony-6m05up.dhcp.insightbb.com) has joined channel #DeadCityOps
[11:46] * Blackout looks out a view port. "Damn, it's taken a beating, bring us in when you are ready."
[11:46] <@Adagio> [There are few creatures around and most seem harmless]
[11:46] <Snowshoe> "You sound surprised that a building looks busted up after a massive balefire war and all that."
[11:46] <Swept_Wing> "Roger, Steel 4 and 8, hold at 1,000 feet while I hit the landing pad."
[11:46] * Rough_Waters has her mask on, looking out, still smiling as placidly as ever
[11:47] * Swoop calls, "Roger, 1." Then drops gently to the hold point.
[11:47] <@Adagio> [Scurrying for cover most flee the few that remain look vaguely like ponies]
[11:48] <~Blackout> "Ground teams... switch to comm channel seven, tac frequency."
[11:48] * Swept_Wing 's Vertibuck begins to descend, slowing as he circled back around towards the landing pad. "LZ is cold upon approach Captain."
[11:50] * Swept_Wing drops the landing gear, coming to a hover over the landing pad. He lowers the back ramp, setting the Vert down gently.
[11:50] <~Blackout> "Keep one bird in the air to provide cover yes?" he calls on the radio.
[11:51] <Swept_Wing> "Go go go!"
[11:51] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe checks the headset, making sure it was on the right frequency, keying it a few times as a test. She looks out the ramp, closes her eyes, and mumbles something to herself as she takes a few deep breaths.
[11:52] * Blackout unclips from his seat as the Steelies do and they hustle from the vert.
[11:52] <@Adagio> [The roof still bears a dusting of snow that blows away and joins the piles in the corners show no signs of melting, it's quite cold]
[11:53] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe follows the Steel Rangers out, shivering in the cold as she keeps her rifle ready to go at a moment's notice.
[11:53] * Rough_Waters hurries out as well, not seeming to mind the cold at all!
[11:53] * Blackout chuckles. "Goodness I'm glad we are all in winter gear." he draws his assault rifle. Looking about.
[11:53] * Swept_Wing waits for all of the ponies to pile out before punching the throttle, lifting off. "Steel 8, drop 'em."
[11:54] <Swoop> "Roger that, 8 is inbound, clear the LZ."
[11:54] <@Adagio> [To the left of the ramp the double wide entry into the facility stands open, the sunlight only penetrating a few feet into the doorway before darkness swallows everything]
[11:55] * Swoop sets down gently to let the troops out, then immeiately power out. "8 is clear an looking for fuglies."
[11:55] <~Blackout> The Steel Rangers spread out to cover the LZ, Blackout is near to the entrance to the MOP building, his masks eyepieces glowing a soft blue as he peers inside. Waiting for the rest to land.
[11:55] <@Adagio> [The vista around the edge of the roof seems serene, almost the perfect picture of Equestrian Winter]
[11:56] <~Blackout> The seven rangers in Swoop's vert disembark and spread out, finding good locations to take cover and watch the perimeter.
[11:56] <Snowshoe> "This place creeps me out," Snowshoe said, sticking her gas mask on and following Black to the door. She keyed her radio once more, mumbling "Testing, test." She didn't want it to fail because she hadn't tested it, if she'd need it.
[11:56] * Swept_Wing closes his ramp, settling into a holding pattern over the building at about 250 feet. "Roger, Steel 4, your turn. 8, hold at 300 feet."
[11:56] * Swoop complies, rotating occasionally on the lookout for targets.
[11:57] <Swept_Wing> Steel 4 comes in for a landing last, the rangers in it piling out as well. Once clear, in takes off, and settles in at 350 feet.
[11:57] * Blackout is looking at the things that... well might have been ponies once. "Poor bastards. This place reminds me of Moosecow."
[11:57] <Swept_Wing> it*]
[11:58] <Snowshoe> "Let's get going then, I'm freezing my proverbial balls off."
[11:58] * Rough_Waters blinks "But youre a mare!"
[11:59] <@Adagio> [The creatures seem to be frozen in place, but the simple green glow from their eyes show them to be alive]
[11:59] <Snowshoe> "Hence the proverbial," Snowshoe said, grinning beneath the wide glass cover of her mask.
[11:59] * Blackout is now talking on the radio. "Steelies, you have point, Outlaw element, you have perimeter. Reaper element, you are on the door, nothing gets out unless we return."
[12:00] * Rough_Waters has no idea what 'proverbial' meant "Oh. Ok then!"
[12:00] <~Blackout> Seven of the rangers move to cover the perimeter and the other seven surround the door. Meanwhile the five Steelies floodlights blink to light, pouring light into the darkness of the MOP interior.
[12:00] * Rough_Waters looks into the interior curiously
[12:00] <Snowshoe> "Also, if we survive, you're always welcome to confirm that fact," she teased, looking at the door and checking, once more, the loaded status of her rifle.
[12:02] <~Blackout> "Steelies, on point. We follow." the five power armored ponies start into the unknown.
[12:02] * Rough_Waters decides to ignore that comment from Snowshoe, blushing
[12:02] <@Adagio> [Looking into the stairwell, the remains of a pair of turrets can be seen, the ammo that lays with the wreckage is HVAP, there are small chips in the walls near the entryway that bear small bloodstains nearly erased by time]
[12:03] * Blackout looks about in the light provided by the Steelies. "Wow... something went down..."
[12:03] <@Adagio> [the stairwell descends to the ground level before opening into a reception area]
[12:03] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe looks at some of the casing and remaining rounds of the turrent. "This is some heavy shit. Like, right through your armour shit," she directs at the Steelies, all over the radio. "So watch your asses as we get further in."
[12:04] <~Blackout> "Roger that..." they all call back together. Perfect timing. They flood the reception area with light, moving slowly and in a combat formation, staggard line.
[12:05] * Blackout turns to Snowshoe, Rough, and another tech. "You three, stay farthest back. Let the steelies tear anything a new one if needed."
[12:06] <Snowshoe> "Celestia above that was creepy..." Snowshoe mumbled, nodding at Blackout. "Roger." She keeps her head on a swivel, clearly no newbie when it came to proper combat operations.
[12:06] <Swept_Wing> Meanwhile, on the roof, Proverb has taken up a sniping position with her SVD, the small mare scanning the area around the building.
[12:06] * Rough_Waters nods "Ok!" she sticks near Snowshoe, looking around, still smiling
[12:07] <@Adagio> [an information desk with a much faded map behind it points to the nearest descent elevators the first floor having been reception and researcher entry the first body can be seen, older model enclave armor painted in blue and gold, and riddled with small pock marks that would likely match the bloody great holes in the back of the suit]
[12:07] * Swoop (IceChat9@Pony-mhr5m2.ph.cox.net) Quit (Quit: A day without sunshine is like .... night)
[12:08] * Blackout moves towards the Enclave Armor. "Huh... damn."
[12:08] <~Blackout> The rangers are still forming a... ahem... Steel Wall before the group.
[12:08] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe looks over at the armour, frowning. "That's weird. I've never seen that scheme before...don't they usually go for black?"
[12:09] * Rough_Waters looks the armor, though she doesnt have the information to process anything about it other than 'hole in armor = bad'
[12:09] <@Adagio> [Upon closer inspection the barely visible logo of the Wonderbolts is painted on the left breast plate]
[12:10] * Blackout blinks. "Damn... this is a... oh my..." he looks around. "Keep your eyes open and EFS ready, Wonderbolts don't die easy."
[12:11] <Snowshoe> "Shit." Snowshoe looked around, suddenly feeling rather naked. She didn't have EFS at all. "What makes you think they're still around?"
[12:12] <~Blackout> "I don't know. But I would rather not be caught with my pants down." He radios the rangers above. "Stay frosty up there, we have sighs on serious shit down here."
[12:12] * Rough_Waters floats out two tendrils of water, her once jolly look replaced as she looks around cautiously, her tendrils floating around idly at the ready
[12:12] <Swept_Wing> Proverb heeds the warning, switching her SVD for her VKS. "R-Roger that." She continues scanning the area.
[12:13] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe raises an eyebrow at Rough Waters. "Okay, that's cool." She turns and looks at the corpse, but she wasn't a medical pony. To her, dead was dead, and she had no idea how to guess for how long aside from "bones" and "not bones".
[12:13] <~Blackout> The rangers are still in a staggard line, looking around, most of the room is covered by their floodlamps.
[12:14] * Blackout checks his clip. "Alright, let's keep moving. Stay close." The Steelies start forward again.
[12:14] <@Adagio> [the map flickers lightly, a single bullet jammed into the wall casing and all marking the elevators down, one turret seems to be functioning still as anyone with EFS notices a single red blip]
[12:15] <~Blackout> One ranger speaks on comms. "Uhm'... we have a target... orders?"
[12:15] * Rough_Waters smiles to Snowshoe and quietly says "Its how I fight"
[12:16] * Blackout checks it, "Wreck it yes?"
[12:17] <@Adagio> [Down the hall the telltale whine of a turret scanning for targets can be heard]
[12:17] <Snowshoe> "Yeah, I just shoot things. Magic and I aren't the best of friends." Snowshoe looks around, especially at the elevator. "Hey, Blackout? Adagio give you any indication where these pods are? 'Cause this is a big fucking place."
[12:17] <~Blackout> "Sublevel six." he states plainly.
[12:18] <Snowshoe> "That's uh...rather far down from us," she comments uselessly, then lets it go for now. She knew better than to keep the radio open too long.
[12:18] <~Blackout> The Steelies move down the hallway towards the turret, the three ponies mounted with miniguns spool up and start spraying AP rounds at said turret.
[12:19] * Blackout looks to Snowshoe. "You are welcome to wait here, or head back up."
[12:19] * Rough_Waters uses a water tendril to wave bye bye to the turret
[12:19] <Snowshoe> "Fuck no. I didn't come all this way to chicken out because of a long walk. Come Tartarus or high water, I'm getting Adagio out."
[12:20] <@Adagio> [The turret never had time to pan back, the hail of minigun fire shredding the actuator and ammo housing before a stray round punctures the spark battery causing the whole turret to explode]
[12:20] * Blackout looks to her again. "Be prepared to leave with nothing if shit comes to shit." he says stoically, mask hiding his expressions.
[12:21] <Snowshoe> "S'why we got two other stops, boss. Didn't nopony ever tell you to don't stop believing?" Snowshoe teased, hearing the turret explode. "Sounds like progress."
[12:22] <~Blackout> "Love a squad of Steelies, see what you heartlanders miss out on? I swear." he turns and trots after the Rangers.
[12:23] * Rough_Waters trots after him "Well, we had them at the desert, they just werent 'quipped apparently" she giggles quietly
[12:23] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe follows along, looking at the wreckage. The scavenger in her tugged hard, but she kept with the group.
[12:24] <@Adagio> [The hallway leads to four side halls leading to patient rooms and surgical wards, at the far end an elevator wide enough for two ponies and a gurney sits open, the back wall bearing old bullet holes and another body, the skeletal wings bearing what could have been light green plumage still pinned to the ceiling by combat knives]
[12:25] <~Blackout> "Holy shit... what the fuck happened in here? This is not normal."
[12:26] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe's eyes widened. "Fuck me sideways..." she mumbled, looking at the body from afar. A shiver ran through her and she looked around. "Let's get going, I want to get out of here quickly."
[12:27] * Blackout looks at the derelict elevator. "Does this thing even still work? Or are we stairing it."
[12:28] <Snowshoe> "If it doesn't, give me a few minutes to talk dirty to it and I might be able to get it moving."
[12:29] * Blackout tries the elevator.
[12:30] <@Adagio> [the armor bears the same color scheme and the magical energy rifles on the armor have been bent severely, the elevator still has power the light and subtle hum of a winch above attesting to that, the panel has been removed the wires stick out from the wall shredded from the force that the panel was removed]
[12:32] * Blackout sweeps his rifle through it. "Alright... I'm going down first with Hunters 1 and 2, Snowshoe, Rough, and Hunter 3 come down next when I radio yes?"
[12:33] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe nodded, searching for a few gurneys and such to create a barricade, just in case. "You got it."
[12:34] <~Blackout> The first two Steelies step cautiously into the elevator with him. He clicks the button for the sublevel 6, "Hunter 4 and 5 will remain when you come down, see you shortly."
[12:34] * Rough_Waters waves and smiles "Seeya soon!"
[12:36] <@Adagio> [The doors slide shut and a single speaker in the corner starts playing "My Brown Eyed Mare" in bad elevator music style]
[12:37] * Blackout raises his rifle and shoots said speaker.
[12:38] <@Adagio> [As the fifth sublevel approaches EFS picks up multiple hostiles, no less than twenty contacts are registered as sublevel five passes and six approaches]
[12:39] * Blackout calls on radio. "Snowshoe... do not stop on level five... ever."
[12:39] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe keys her radio. "Aw, but isn't level five the cafeteria? I need a drink," she jokes, chuckling. She knew better than that, it was clear by her tone.
[12:40] * Swept_Wing clicks his radio on. "What's it look like down there?"
[12:40] <~Blackout> "Dead fliers. Spec ops it looks like LT. What about topside?"
[12:41] <@Adagio> [The doors open onto sublevel six and the first thing is the smell, death and worse assails your senses even through gas masks, rebreathers are immune but the sight is no less terrible]
[12:41] * Swept_Wing gives a low whistle. "Damn, all clear up here Captain."
[12:41] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe shuddered at the sound. "Tell me when to call the elevator back up."
[12:42] * Blackout coughs into the comm unit. "Oh... oh shit..."
[12:42] <@Adagio> [The surface is slowly darkening the sun fading fast in the northern wastes, even now the evening star can be seen]
[12:42] <Snowshoe> She keyed her radio quickly. "Talk to me, what's wrong?"
[12:42] * Swept_Wing frowns. "What's goin' on down there?"
[12:42] <~Blackout> "Dead... it stinks bad... Steelies are lucky.."
[12:43] <Snowshoe> "Suck it up, princess. It's things alive I'm worried about."
[12:43] * Blackout coughs more. "Put... put on masks..."
[12:43] * Swept_Wing nods, the Vertibucks flipping on spotlights, continuing their patrol.
[12:43] * Blackout moves forward between the two Steelies. "Area secure, come down when ready."
[12:43] <@Adagio> [The walls seem to be coated in flesh, and every so often twitches fading from sight into a normal hall]
[12:44] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe thumps Rough gently and points to the mask, before pressing the elevator call button.
[12:44] <Swept_Wing> Proverb activates the Night Vision on her scope, and keeps a watchful eye around the area.
[12:44] * Rough_Waters blinks, she already had her mask, her water tendrils still just doin their floaty thing, not aware that things were dangerous
[12:44] <~Blackout> The two last Steelies remain in the reception area, keeping it secured.
[12:45] <Snowshoe> "Oh. Heh." Snowshoe waits for teh elevator, sighing. "Come ooooon. Slow as hell."
[12:45] <@Adagio> [The subtle green glow of the frozen ponies in the open is mimicked by several spots along the woodline]
[12:47] <Swept_Wing> Proverb twists some knobs on her scope, zooming in on one of them. "There's more of those frozen ponies along the treeline."
[12:47] <@Adagio> [The hostile contacts on EFS are still present, sucking wet noises accompany the subtle clang of metal on stonework echo through the halls]
[12:47] * Blackout answers. "If neccessary, you and the perimeter team terminate them... wait... we have contacts down here..."
[12:48] * Rough_Waters taps Snowshoe on the opposite side with her water, snickering a bit
[12:48] <Swept_Wing> Proverb: "Roger."
[12:48] <@Adagio> [The ponies aren't frozen they move slowly along the woodline, the ponies in the open begin to shake lightly]
[12:48] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe steps onto the elevator when it arrives, waiting for Rough and the others before activating it. She looks to the side the water tapped her, then over at Rough and grinned.
[12:49] <~Blackout> "Snowshoe... there is... I'm not even sure... be ready."
[12:49] * Rough_Waters giggles as she steps into the elevator
[12:49] <Swept_Wing> Provy: "Uhh, they're starting to move..."
[12:49] <Snowshoe> "Copy that...define bad, so I know what we're coming in for." Snowshoe looked at Rough as the elevator started going down.
[12:50] * Blackout adresses Proverb. "Corporal, eliminate them if they approach. And Snowshoe... whatever it is... unequine sounding."
[12:50] <Swept_Wing> Proverb tightens her grip on her sniper. "Yessir."
[12:51] * Rough_Waters looks back to Snowshoe, still smiling, still water stuff floatin around "I dont think I introduced myself!" great timing! "Hi! Im Rough Waters, and later, Id like to hug you!"
[12:51] <Snowshoe> "Groovy," Snowshoe replies sarcastically. The elevator keeps going, and she starts to get a hint of the smell. "Fuck, what'd you do, boss, fart?"
[12:51] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe looked over at Rough and grinned. "Snowshoe. Folks call me Tinker. Nce to meet you."
[12:51] <@Adagio> [the walls seem to switch between something out of a raiders decorating wetdream and a normal hospital hallway, there are more bodies here and they don't fade with the walls]
[12:52] * Blackout has his rifle drawn and scanning. The third Steelie hops up front with the other two. Now they all have their miniguns spooled already. "Ready...?"
[12:52] <Swept_Wing> Proverb watches the now-not-frozen ponies, waiting for them to do something.
[12:53] * Rough_Waters giggles "Likewise!" she sniffs "Wow, something does smell pretty awful!"
[12:53] <Snowshoe> The elevator rattles to a halt and the doors open. Snowshoe coughs at the sight, managing to not vomit in her mask. "Luna's freewheelin' plot, what the FUCK."
[12:54] * Rough_Waters blinks, looking around the hall "wuuuuut?"
[12:54] * Blackout looks back at Snowshoe and Rough. "Welcome to hell."
[12:54] * Blackout turns on his headlamp to supplement the three rangers floodlamps.
[12:55] * Rough_Waters actually smiles to Blackout "Hi!" she looks around, falling in with the others
[12:55] <Snowshoe> "I don't like this." The more she saw of this the more she didn't believe this was Adagio's location. It seemed too...not right. "Oh this is wrong, this is wrong, this is so wrong..."
[12:55] <@Adagio> [the black carapace armor has been bent in unnatural ways, the waist of one has been twisted completely around neatly severing the body inside in half, another further down had helm pressed through the wall and was folded backwards each hoof pressed through the wall at unnatural angles]
[12:56] * Blackout wonders how Rough ignores death so well. "Uhm'... hi." he calls on the comms. "Yeah LT it's all sorts of fucked up down here. But we are moving anyways." The three Steelies start forward.
[12:56] <Swept_Wing> "Roger that. We're holding at 100 feet. All clear up here still."
[12:57] * Blackout comms it. "Roger... tell Reaper team to move in will you and link with Hunter 4 and 5 yes?"
[12:57] * Rough_Waters just continues looking around, wondering what it is, though she doesnt seem terribly disturbed by it all
[12:58] * Blackout kneels next to one of the wrecked corpses. "This is sooooo Adagio's work."
[12:58] <@Adagio> [The hall meets with an adjoining hall in a cross roughly forty lengths from the elevator and further down the hallway past the intersection a spotlight reflects back off something metal that seems to correspond with the clang on the stonework]
[12:58] <Swept_Wing> "Roger. Reaper Team, you heard the Captain, get in there and link up with the Hunters."
[12:58] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe looks at the corpse that Blackout was looking at, jaw dropping. "No way. Adagio did this? Remind me never to piss her off..."
[12:58] <~Blackout> "It's the damned harness. You haven't seen it. Ever wonder why she doesn't have it in tavern?"
[12:59] <Snowshoe> "No. I don't know much about it except that she contemplated frying herself with a balefire bomb to get rid of it."
[01:00] * Rough_Waters looks at the corpse "If that thingy does this... well then that makes sense!"
[01:00] <~Blackout> "I removed it. Damned AI Bast-..." he notices what the Steelies spotlights are reflecting off of. "What... is that?"
[01:03] <Snowshoe> "Celestia above..." Snowshoe truly hoped that whatever it was, this harness didn't cause Adagio to be insane when they found her. She shuddered and straightened up, looking over at blackout, then down the hall, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, this ain't good.
[01:03] <@Adagio> [Slowly the clanging begins to increase in pace and eyes reflect the light back in blood red hues, it stops briefly in the light the face bearing some resemblance to a diamond dog from old history, the green froth oozing from its mouth as it roared at the ponies who were obviously going to be lunch]
[01:04] <~Blackout> "Yeah, fuck that. Open up." The three rangers and their six miniguns unleash hell.
[01:04] * Rough_Waters is clearly less than happy about this, her tendrils stand ready, just in case somehow the hail of munitions fails to take it down
[01:05] <Snowshoe> "Oh, fuck me!" Snowshoe yelped, heading for her rifle. She sticks a hoof through the hole in the stock, pressing it to her shoulder and grabbing the bit to open fire. Normally she'd take it in burst, but this thing was big, so accuracy wasn't too big an issue.
[01:05] <@Adagio> [Topside; the situation wasn't escalating but the number of interested parties mas growing along the woodline and the frozen ones began rocking harder as the suns light fled]
[01:06] * Blackout is unloading on whatever it is with his assault rifle as well now.
[01:06] * Rough_Waters starts flinging Ice Spikes rather hard at the thing
[01:07] <Swept_Wing> Proverb swallows, raking the bolt back on her sniper with a clack.
[01:10] <@Adagio> [the minigun fire though fast and in a confined space seem to be doing little more than stripping flesh from the creature, Blackout using AP rounds is punching through the beast.  With a roar a pair of bodies fly down the hallway]
[01:11] <~Blackout> "SHIT...SHIT!" he fires even more.
[01:11] <Snowshoe> "Ohshit." Snowshoe reaches into her bag, pulling out what looks like a tin can with a wick through the lid. She fished out a rusty lighter. "I got thermite! Might burn its face off!" She flicks the lighter. "Cover me!"
[01:11] * Rough_Waters freezes water as spikes to impale the bodies and prevent them from hurting anyone
[01:12] <~Blackout> The Steelies one at a time click their rounds, switching to incindiary and AP.
[01:12] <@Adagio> [one collides with a ranger, the other catches on the corner of the hallway, spinning before landing directly in the center of the hall, the creature however has turned and ran out of the light]
[01:13] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe was just about to light the thermite when the creature runs off. She closes the lighter and stashes the explosive in he rbag again. "Fuck." She looked at Blackout. "You damn sure this was Adagio's work?"
[01:14] <~Blackout> The two standing rangers unleash AP rounds into the one monster that collided with the third ranger. Making sure it dies.
[01:14] * Blackout reloads his clip. "I have no idea. This is fucked. I feel like I'm in Moosecow still. Jus... FUCK."
[01:15] * Rough_Waters continues doing what she does, which is flinging Ice Spikes madly
[01:15] <Snowshoe> "Yeah, no shit. I just...fuck." She closes her eyes and sighs, mumbling something to herself. "Frost'll kill me if we don't get her back and I can't bear to lose another pony I care for. Let's get going."
[01:16] <~Blackout> "Be prepared." he comms it. "LT... major shit down here. Prep those Daisy Cutters." He checks on the ranger that was collided into.
[01:17] <@Adagio> [even with ice impaling its bodies it begins to squirm, a subtle black aura surrounds it and it starts making the sucking noises and moving slowly, turning it faces the first ranger quickly locking eyes with him (Blackout morale check quick better than 75 or he's mindfucked... badly)]
[01:18] * Blackout passes with flying colors. "Fuck this thing." he draws a bandolier of pipe bombs.
[01:19] * Rough_Waters looks at whatever is impaled on her spike, silently surprised it actually worked, yay.
[01:19] <~Blackout> The ranger yells and unloads AP rounds into whatever the fuck it is.
[01:20] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe 'eeps' at the black body thing, eyes wide. "This place isn't right..." she whines, reloading her rifle and keeping far away from it. "Let's get going, on the double quick, please?"
[01:20] <Swept_Wing> Proverb watches as the sun sinks below the horizon, the frozen ponies moving more every moment.
[01:20] * Rough_Waters giggles "Silly, on the double /means/ quick!"
[01:21] <Snowshoe> "Yeah, so faster than fast, darling."
[01:22] <@Adagio> [it withers under the combined fire as the aura fades and becomes a small pool of shadow before racing off the intersecting hallway, follow the beast or look around?]
[01:22] * Blackout sighs. "Where the hell is the other one?"
[01:23] <~Blackout> The downed ranger stands, dented armor slowly repairing itself via talismans.
[01:24] <Snowshoe> "I'd rather not go hunting today," Snowshoe says, looking down the hall. "Any idea where these pods are?"
[01:24] <~Blackout> "I think it would be best to get the other two heavies down here yes?"
[01:25] * Rough_Waters nodnods "Could probably use the help!"
[01:25] <@Adagio> [Topside: the ice has begun to crumble away sending chunks of flesh and hair trapped in it tumbling to the surface,]
[01:26] * Blackout hops on the comms. "Hunter 4 and 5, situation is FUBAR, get down here."
[01:27] * Blackout looks to Snowshoe and Rough, "We search, Steelies hold position and keep the... whatever they are, away."
[01:27] <@Adagio> [Topside: a low howl begins to rise from the woodline]
[01:28] <Snowshoe> "Alright. Only three halls, can't be that hard." Snowshoe rolled her eyes. "Lead the way, boss."
[01:28] <Swept_Wing> Proverb swallows. "Possible contact topside." Her voice is slightly shaky. Her aim moves to the trees.
[01:28] * Rough_Waters nods, ready to go
[01:30] <@Adagio> [The hall directly across from the elevator is where the heavy ran off, to the left is marked theoretical research, to the right is marked long term storage and bioengineering
[01:30] <Snowshoe> "Right sounds, well, right to me." Snowshoe points out.
[01:30] * Blackout comms to Proverb. "Take no chances, drop them. Swept. If need be, daisy cutter them." he talks to Snowshoe and Rough now. "Right, we go then." he moves forward cautiously in a combat stance. He moves towards the long term storage. The steelies move forward and cover the left, where the big... whatever ran off to, all five Steelies now.
[01:31] <Swept_Wing> Both respond "Roger."
[01:31] * Rough_Waters trots after Blackout, water at the ready
[01:32] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe follows behind, looking over her shoulder on occasion.
[01:32] * Blackout turns on his nightvision to supplement his headlamp. "Lights on." Peering into the darkness.
[01:33] <Swept_Wing> Proverb lines up a shot at one of the, things, moving in the treeline, and fires, her suppressed VKS cracking lightly.
[01:33] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe's horn lights up in a bright, lemony yellow glow, causing everything to have a sickly, yellow tint that makes everything look supiciously cyberpunkish.
[01:34] * Rough_Waters has no light, nor a light spell. Whoops
[01:34] <@Adagio> [The closer you get to bioengineering the longer the fleshy walls remain and almost seem to be breathing before fading away again, the creatures also seem to have originated here, the sucking sounds repeat in no less than three separate tones]
[01:35] <~Blackout> "This is so fucked." he says this in comms, no sound escaping outside his mask. He moves forward silently... partly because he was using illusions to mask the sound of any hoof falls they made.
[01:36] * Swept_Wing moves out of his holding pattern, hovering above the roof, minigun at the ready.
[01:36] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe nods, looking around. She had no idea what bioengineering meant exactly, but could guess it wasn't pretty. "What the fuck were they making here?" She was no longer afraid Adagio was going to be tweaked. She was afraid she was dead, or worse.
[01:37] <@Adagio> [The creature practically falls apart from the impact, its eyes fade, the howling stops and every pair of eyes turns to the sound of the shot]
[01:37] <~Blackout> "I don't care, I don't want to know, all I know is a Daisy Cutter is burying this place when we leave."
[01:38] <Snowshoe> "A-fuckin'-men, as a friend of mine used to say."
[01:39] * Blackout continues forward, scanning back and forth as they go.
[01:39] <Swept_Wing> Proverb yanks the bolt back, the spent cartridge falling to the roof with a ping. Letting it snap back forward, she lined up another creature, and fires again.
[01:39] <@Adagio> [The sucking sounds grow fainter as you progress, the thrum of machinery begins to suffuse the air and the slight smell of ozone permeates the air slowly getting stronger]
[01:40] * Blackout is glad for his mask. "You all hear that?"
[01:40] * Rough_Waters lets out a quiet snarl "Yeah... I do..." she says, looking around
[01:40] <Snowshoe> "Yeah, sounds like something mechanical. Sounds ike we're on the right track."
[01:42] * Blackout nods. "Maybe, if it is they used much different pods than we do. Also, watch your backs, don't want to be flanked."
[01:43] <@Adagio> [Topside: the creatures back off from the woodline long enough for the howl to return and its bearer with it, at the edge of the woodline a hellhound bearing the same fell green eyes looks across the expanse at the sound of the shot and fades quickly back into the woodline]
[01:43] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe chuckled mirthlessly. "In any other situation I'd make a joke about getting flanked..." she mumbled, turning around and watching their backs, walking backwards with the group.
[01:44] * Blackout doesn't even chuckles. "This reminds me of the Installation back home, twenty levels of shit, like this, just spread out."
[01:44] <Swept_Wing> Proverb squeaks at the sight, quickly raking the next round into the chamber.
[01:45] * Swept_Wing sees it too, sweeping his spotlight over the area quickly. "Hard surface contact. Hellhounds sir."
[01:47] * Blackout curses. "Have the perimeter consolidate, scare them off with the fifties, don't get close." he says into comms to Swept.
[01:47] <Swept_Wing> "Roger that. Engaging."
[01:47] <@Adagio> [Blackout and Snowshoe both hear the telltale sound of liquid dripping further down the hallway accompanied by restrained breathing,]
[01:48] * Blackout looks to Snowshoe. "Uhm'..."
[01:48] <Snowshoe> "What the fuck is that..." Snowshoe is hopeful but doesn't go running, thinking it's Adagio. "Talk to me, I have my back to it."
[01:48] * Swept_Wing opens up on the treeline with the pair of .50 cals mounted on his Vert, the machine guns thudding heavily.
[01:48] <~Blackout> "No idea... I'm thinking I'll check it out. I can... fade so to speak."
[01:49] <Snowshoe> "Whatever it is, make it quick, I don't like this."
[01:49] <Rough_Waters> "Whats happening? Im confused!"
[01:49] * Blackout nods. He crouches low and stalks forward, the darkness of the shadows overtake him instantly... the name Blackout covers this event rather well.
[01:50] <@Adagio> [The treeline explodes into violence at least 80 of the creatures had assembled and were now being cut down but no sign of the hellhound]
[01:51] * Blackout heads towards the sound being made, invisible in the shadows.
[01:52] * Rough_Waters blinks. Now Blackout was gone and she still had no idea what was happening. She decides to just stay ready, since the only other thing she could do was wander off or nap, neither being a good option
[01:52] * Swept_Wing keeps firing on the treeline for another good minute before letting up, surveying the damage. He swoops low, spotlight scanning.
[01:53] <@Adagio> [As you crawl forward Blackout the breathing stops as does the dripping sound, for your ears only you hear something, "yyyyyyyyyyouuuuuuuuu..... nnn...nnaaaammmee?"}
[01:54] * Blackout freezes, nightvision piercing the darkness and still hidden in his illusion... how had it known...
[01:55] <@Adagio> [Topside the bodies that are still moving are crawling away, there is a slight bulging of a wall of the building heading for the roof]
[01:56] * Blackout decides if he is going to die he was going down laughing. "Vashe imya?" he counters.
[01:57] * Swept_Wing pulls back up, turning back towards the other Verts. He sees the movement. "Hey, is the wall supposed to be, uhm, moving? Because it is."
[01:57] <@Adagio> "Ssssssssssssssssmmeeeeellll yyyyyyyyyyyoooooouuu ppppoooooooooooooooooonnnnnnyyyy, hhhhaaaaaaaavvve ooooorrrrrrrrrrdeeeeeerrssssss... yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyouuuuuuuuuu nnnnnname, oooooooorrrrr kkkkkkiiillllll ttttheeeeeeemmmm." the voice whispers accompanied by eyes this time seeking you out but unaware of your exact location
[01:58] <Rough_Waters> "Psssst... Snowshoe... what are we waiting for?"
[01:59] <Snowshoe> "Blackout's gone on to scout ahead."
[01:59] * Blackout giggles. Yeah.... "Vy ne mozhete nayti menya, yapryaniki poni!" He makes a mirror copy of himself appear a good distance ahead of him. He then comms to Snowshoe. "This is... so fucked."
[01:59] * Blackout tries the obvious. "Fluttershy."
[02:01] * Swept_Wing stares at the moving bulge. "Fuck this. Steel 4! Get the team off the roof!"
[02:02] <@Adagio> "Sssssnnnnoooww?" the eyes looks further down the hall, "Ssssssnnnooooowwsssshhhooeeeee..." the eyes seem to nod up and down and walk around the corner, "Nnnnnooott Fffffflluttterssssshhyyyy," it laughs and looks at the image funny a trio of lasers cut through the image and the sound of machinery intensifies,
[02:03] <Swept_Wing> Steel 4 swoops in, landing on the roof. The co-pilot comes trotting down the ramp, yelling at the rangers to get on.
[02:03] * Blackout rolls his eyes and makes an image of Fluttershy appear trotting down the hall.
[02:04] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe doesn't hear the voice, not properly anyways. She keys her radio. "Talk to me, boss." She turns around to see...eyes? A yellow pegasus mare? "What the fuck..." her radio still keyed in.
[02:04] <~Blackout> The rangers all scramble aboard, covering each others movement.
[02:04] * Blackout mimicks Fluttershy now to a tee, having a little fun. "Uhm'... hello..." the Flutterfake squeeks.
[02:05] <Swept_Wing> The Vert lifts off the roof, and Swept wastes no time opening up on the, bulge, with the 20mm minigun.
[02:05] * Rough_Waters wonders they Blackout only mimics Fluttershy to 'Flut'...
[02:06] <@Adagio> [A creature plods up behind Snowshoe and Rough_Waters, a much smaller creature, "Sssssssssssnnnnnoooowwwwsssssshhhooooee?" it looks between Rough_Waters and Snowshoe]
[02:07] * Rough_Waters blinks ".....not it"
[02:07] <Snowshoe> Snowshoe looks over at the creature, jumping for a moment before looking at it. She tilts her head, then nods. "Yeah, me." She even lifts her mask, despite the smell, to confirm it.
[02:07] * Blackout calls back to Snowshoe. "Ok screw it what's going on on your end." he also calls out his name "Blackout."
[02:10] <@Adagio> [It nods and points at itself and then down the hall, "Fffffffffffffffffoooooooolllllloooooowwww," it taps a strange device on its wrist and music... the violin starts playing.  It looks around and walks towards the corner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMbvcp480Y4 ]
[02:11] * Rough_Waters blinks "Ok... now Im a bit spooked..." better late than never
[02:11] * Blackout waits. Because he has nothing better to do now.
[02:11] <Snowshoe> "What's happening, boss, is we found her. And all signs show she's fine," Snowshoe answered, grinning. She tapped her mask back down and followed after the strange creature thing.
[02:12] * Blackout reappears as Snowshoe comes up. "Right, better on your end it seems."
[02:12] <~Blackout> -The Scene cuts here, with all sorts of shit topside, and Blackout, Snowshoe, and Rough following... it further into the compound. Until next time.-
[02:13] * Snowshoe (Sturmmann@Pony-jr1eoo.user.start.ca) has left #DeadCityOps ()
