-Aven and Silver-
That's right. I didn't want to disturb you.
-Cloud-
Nothing about Dio.
-Chris moves his hand inside his pocket-
-He is inside the house, hidden from view-
-Sora and Dot-
Be ready.

Now, Doctor Barkley will give a presentation on the technological specifics of this mission.
-The Doc walks up-
-I messed up the text colours last post, Stanton is normal, Barkley is grey-
Now, uh... you will be transported in an armoured vehicle. This vehicle is equipped with our best cloaking, shielding and weapons technology. On board, it contains various equipment that will obtain environmental readings, and be used for analysis. As well as soft AI, like the one's in your suits.
You will pass through the TEAR, hiding as much as possible. Their attention should be diverted. This ship is your only method of traveling through the TEAR. Do not let it be destroyed.
Once through, you can begin your reconnaissance.

-Cloud-
Mostly I just investigated the zombies. There were a few attacks in the night.
-Aven-
No. He doesn't.
-Silver-
... I was hoping you wouldn't find out.
Why?
-Chris stands up, his hand in his pocket-
Battlefield
-Barkley blinks, as if he was not expecting questions-
It-it's roughly ten by fifty by thirty metres.

-To Chris-
Because this is something I've been doing alone, and dragging you along at night won't help.
-Aven-
No. The clues generally come in when I'm down on the ground, asking questions.
-Looks at Cloud appreciatively... then as if he finds this behaviour odd-
Yes. I did.
-Silver-
Yeah. I don't blame you for being suspicious. But I am telling you the truth.
...
I've got faith that you are here to help. I just ask that you have the same faith in me.
Surely you do not expect us to believe that. How much easier would it have been to just tell us and coordinate with us?
I don't need sleep. You do.
You don't- What does that have to do with anything?
Battlefield
Now, you'll be moving out shortly.
Are- are there any other questions?

-Sora and Dot-
... Just in case.
-Hey look Cloud and Silver, it's John, Aven and a homeless guy-
-John looks up at them-
Hey.
-Aven-
-John opens his mouth and shuts it again-
I went for a walk.
-Seems to realise that just sounds more suspicious-
Look, I-.
...
I can't sit still. Not while stuff like this is happening.
So. I investigate.
Battlefield
-All is silent-
-Stanton clears his throat-
You're here because you were hand-picked. Some of you know what I called on you for. Some of you don't. Most of you will probably have guessed.
We have been on the defensive for a long time. This can't keep up. What we need to do is find a way to fill that hole. And now, thanks to the analysed C.U.T, for the first time, we have the technology available to get through.
You are some of the best. The strongest. But this is not a mission that you can win by force of arms. Many of you are scientists as well. This is a mission in order to discover the method by which we can close the hole. Your highest priority is data retrieval.
Of course, you will have to fight as well. You are soldiers in hostile territory. But do not forget the primary aim of this taskforce.
-gotta pause for a second for lunch, respond to this post though-
