Sohala Posted March 29 Clone Share Posted March 29 Prax and Jake stood before the entrance to the military camp. She had radioed ahead, as they slipped by the vault-aligned forces. They had agreed that Jake would do all the talking to the detainees, with Prax acting more as a bodyguard. If there was a need for her to ask a question, she would transmit it to him. OOC Realized this still needs to be done before stuff gets to progress. Let's get it out of the way. Renamed to the other one as it's title was pointless by comparison to its contents.

Sohala Posted March 29 Author Clone Share Posted March 29 (edited) Just move on, ambush afterwards or whatever, not really concerned with its details. Unless you are planning on dragging on his condition in to infinite or continuing to string us along, Jake can be cured. Progress the story line that 'had' to be interrupted and technically holds up everything else that already has posts in them after this. Or is there some other grand tangent we have to do first? Perhaps it is it the timing? Take some of the month I burned doing straight nothing just so everyone was at the same chronological time stamp.

wrathgon Posted March 29 Clone Share Posted March 29 Getting back from Prime Magi, you resume your path to speak to the vaulters. You stand almost were the Captain had stop you, still a few miles away you still have to decide how to approach the complex. Up to the front gates or sneak in another way. The Defense Cube floats above the complex scanning the area leading up to the building. The building looks like a ruin base, with a runway and 3 buildings of large size. A fence surrounded the complex and you see some auto turret on the front gates. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohala Posted March 29 Author Clone Share Posted March 29 (edited) A sickening déjà vu settled into Prax as they looked down from their point in the rise. With the time that had passed, it was hard to know what state the island was in now. She did know that at least the security forces had been pulled back. It was a Pyrrhic victory at best... having solidified the hold they had on her by achieving it... The waiting forces were gone.... her earlier hesitation at their presence with them. Same as her earlier logic, up to the front door seemed like the right choice. The pair had gotten some time to talk... she'd tried to explain her fear. The rumors spoke of a robot harvesting people for the express purpose of obtaining the ability to harness magic. She may have oversold the concern about it going after mages, given the lack of them being missing from among the vaulters, but she was still concerned. The point she didn't mention, was the perceived connection between this harvesting and the 'bots she had been working on... brains for parts... The uncertainty of that still haunted her. OOC I have no idea what a defense cube actually is. Do you see any reason to sneak, do you?

He mutters under his breath "Dirty bastard" he glances over at his companion, they had talked after he was cured, and she had opened up about some of her fears. While some of it was beyond his understanding, he understood enough to share her fears. His world had created films about the dangers of this centuries ago. Perhaps they get back to the ship he will let Elhana and Rona watch some of those old films they had stored in the archive. He brings his mind back to the present "While the sneak in me hates the idea of just walking up and knocking, we might actually get some where if we come in like we belong here. What are your thoughts?" OOC Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohala Posted March 30 Author Clone Share Posted March 30 (edited) Prax's head nodded, "We don't exactly blend in either." There was a minimal chance they could pull off an infiltration... but any hard looks at their uniforms would out them. And to what end? They were ill-suited for any rescue or breakout attempt; their efforts were equal parts humanitarian and fact-finding. That didn't even get to being singled out in the system, "Sneaking in is likely to get us shot, or worse." After all the recent excitement, she thought it best to confirm, "You still have your identification, right?" [Get confirmation, slight humor] "Shall I radio ahead, sir?" She poked back. [Again, confirmation] Her words were spoken clearly and at the designated volume for non-combat operations, "[Provide the designation if known or the coordinates], this is Iron Raven X-2137-PW01, inbound for approach. Requesting clearance for a 'diplomatic insertion' with 'civilian oversight' in tow. 'Ghost entry' and 'Null-lock' protocols are advised. Over."

Sohala Posted March 31 Author Clone Share Posted March 31 Prax's face screwed up in confusion... She was many things, but unable to recall the correct call sign and shorthand for the occasion was not one of them. OOC To confirm, she gave her 'outsider' designation and got pushback for being a 'vaulter'?

Sohala Posted March 31 Author Clone Share Posted March 31 (edited) Her confusion continued as she confirmed that she had not been using a Vaulter frequency for her transmission... [If given the go ahead] Since they asked, "My job: Escorting a humanitarian check under [insert proper wording related to military prisoner confinement] and gathering first-hand intel on a potential threat." OOC Great, her whole motivation and intention to get to this point has been built on a mix-up. My fault, from the start. But then she, somehow, didn't realize this at any point after starting, up to and including the last time she looked upon this camp. I presume a 'Defense Cube' is some alternative name for a Vaulter defense? I understand, I am glad we could do this snipe hunt together. @darlis moonbeam Up to you, as clearly evident by this turn of events, I lost the plot before the first post of our adventure. I know you are a 'forward, yah' person, but neither of us signed up for 'this'.
