Compound
"Alright everyone, sniper is down," Forlorn said over the radio, speaking sub-vocally and letting the transmitter take care of the rest. He retracted the blade and quickly reeled in his hand now that he had a spare moment. "Repeat, sniper is down. Look out for patrols and move into position. I'll secure this floor and let down a rappel line if needed. Forlorn, over."

He picked up the sniper's rifle to inspect it. Laser rifle, yet the ammo around this floor didn't fit it. Not liking the signs, he slung the weapon over his back and pulled out his F2000, then proceeded to give the area a once-over before moving towards the stairs. Holding the gun in his right hand, he slowly and carefully lowered his left hand downwards to take a peek at the floor below.

"Roger that." Vespa motioned for the group on the ground to move ahead, sticking with the rest and sweeping the area for Zaivous' men.

"Well done," Fell transmitted. The floor below Liam was the same size as the one he was on, but still had a few interior walls. His hand didn't see or hear anyone in the immediate vicinity of the stairs, which continued down another two floors.

Compound Fourth Floor
"Coast is clear on the inside - for now," Forlorn radioed over. "Hurry up you two. Malware, your bird can come in now too."

Putting his F2000 back in place, he made his way back to the North window. He left his left hand in the staircase, lifting it up to the third floor so that he could see anyone coming from there or below, but still quickly reel it in if need be.

He crouched below the window, unslung the sniper's rifle, and slowly brought his head up, keeping an eye out on the area.

"Copy that, moving into position."

Vespa made for the hand, keeping low to the ground as she approached. She wasn't completely useless with a gun but she didn't want to attract unwanted attention when she could just as easily avoid.

"Alright," Mal said, as the bird flew in.

Fritz flew into the open window, landing on the railing over the stairs near Liam. Vespa made it to the bottom of the tower without incident. As soon as she could touch the wall, however, she heard the creaking of a door opening around the corner to her left.

Vespa dropped into a crouch silently, pressing herself up against the wall as she brought the shotgun to bear against whoever might be exiting the building.

ah, shit.

Compound Fourth Floor
Forlorn mentally cursed as Malware's bird flew in and he reeled in his hand. He planted his feet firmly, magnetizing them to get an extra bit of grip on whatever rebar was below him, and physically threw his hand downwards out the window. If the rangefinder in his mechanical eye was correct, it would stop short a meter above the ground next to Vespa..

"Grab on, now!" he radioed over.

Vespa grabbed Forlorns hand as quickly as she could, locking the digits in her hand so that her grip wouldn't fail before she was up.

come on, come on!

What a start....

The moment Vespa grabbed onto his hand-rappel line, Forlorn started reeling it in.

Two men in full body armor toting laser guns came around the edge of the building just as Vespa was pulled up, her feet practically dangling above their heads as they walked by. "Close one," Fell remarked. It sounded as if he had been holding his breath.

In the tower, Fritz cocked his head at the girl being pulled up. The corpse on the floor was emitting an unpleasant odor.

"Thanks for the hand. Not sure what I would have done if you hadn't pulled me up. Want to get moving?"

Vespa checked her gear again, making sure that the camera was, in fact, rolling, then took it off, pointing it downward to make sure that there was a nice clear image of the heavily armoured and totally peaceful guards who were just the epitome of peace and love. Vespa grinned. Editing this all was going to be a blast.

"Where's Lancelot?" Forlorn asked as he moved away from the window and once again re-slung his rifle. He went over to the sniper and rifled through his things, looking for anything he had on his person. "Malware, if this guy has a phone or any other computer on him, think you can break into their communications?"

Field Agency
Fell was watching Vespa's helmet cam intently until a warning tone caught his attention. The satellite had picked up something that had been tagged for tracking a few days ago. "Ah, shit."


Compound
Liam would find the dead sniper had a laser pistol in its holster, and a thin book of religious passages in one of his pouches. Over in the corner of the room, his helmet had a comm unit.

"Uh," Fell began, "You guys remember that escort I told you about? Those AL-SEC vehicles? Satellite just picked up six of them heading for the compound."

Mr. Chun's heartrate quickened at Fell's words, and he instinctively unslung his grenade launcher and started loading it. "Their route is not coming through our position though, I hope?" He started scanning the horizon around him in an attempt to spot them. "Do you have any idea who is in them, Mr. Fell?"

"And if it is, are they Light Attack Vehicles, or Armour" Serenity quiried, her question being in addition to the ones asked by Mr. Chun, while she did not really look forward to a scenario that would involve fighting multiple vehicles on foot, if they were light attack vehicles, and they could set up an ambush, or get to an advantageous position there chances would at least be slightly better.

Anastya's face fell through. She whole-heartedly wished that maybe, she did not need to shoot. Or fight. Fingers crossed and all. She shakily reached for the remote and put on the VR headset, taking a seat in one corner as the robots came to live.

"R-Ready.", she shakily muttered.

Forlorn finished examining the sniper, then dragged the body over to the far corner. "Malware, the helmet's going to have his comms, see if they're saying anything about those vehicles. I'm going to check the rest of this building."

Grabbing the sniper's laser pistol and holding it at the ready in his left hand, he made his way down the stairs to the third floor and started to check the rooms for signs of life.

"I'll try," he said to Forlorn, flying Fritz over to attempt to enter in.

Vespa made her way along, following Forlorn and watching his back as she did.

'Sarah', Bell prepared for her dash, her bionic eyes picking up the guards and waiting for the signal that it was ok to proceed before she dashed towards the building... running lower and faster than a normal human could do by her improvements to her inner ear and enhanced legs... moving to reach the wall to then scale it quickly and noiselessly with the enhancements to palms and feet to join up with the others.

"Uh, they don't look like they're in any particular hurry... My guess is they're scheduled to escort Zaivous back to wherever he came from." Fell cursed again for good measure, "Their composition is... three light trucks - humvees essentially, a dumptruck, some kinda huge flatbed, and what looks like an ordnance disposal vehicle. No visible armaments, but doubtless their passengers would have weapons with them. I can't see who they are though."

Fell let out a frustrated sigh, "I don't think they'll come close enough to spot the van - depends on what kind of scanners they have on-board, I guess, but since you moved, you're no longer in the way of the garage. They're maybe, ten, fifteen minutes out if you're lucky."

After letting the guards pass, Bell made it to the tower and clambered up, though nothing like as smoothly as Liam could manage. Still, she got to the top floor as the other two were making a sweep of the floors beneath, not spotting anyone until they were just above the first. The two guards that had just nearly run into Vespa earlier were now standing near the foot of the stairs, making smalltalk with a third.

"...It's not that I don't think it looks cool, it just comes a little too close to defilement for my liking. You should ask the Father before you get a tattoo. Well, next time he's back, anyway," one of the men chided through his helmet. "Was that a bird?"

The man looked up, forcing Liam and Vespa to duck out of sight if they were watching. Fritz had left another relay in the helmet, and was doing his best to follow the two down the tight confines of the stairs, but the flapping of his wings was not as quiet as they might have liked.

"Fucking Azrael left the windows open again," another one muttered as they craned their necks to try to look up the stairs into the fourth floor. Finally, one waved his hand dismissively, "It's his problem - he gets to deal with it. Come on, then, tell us what you were planning to get...."

The comms were mostly quiet for Malware, until someone piped up, "In position. Once the Father is ready we'll get moving. ...Over."

Compound Second Floor
Holding back his sense of humor at the idea of a member of a Christian-sect-derived religious extremist named Azrael, Forlorn held up his right hand to Vespa, making gestures to wordlessly indicate that they should hold off on moving forwards for now. Having to deal with three guards at once was exponentially more difficult that handling a single one, at least if you didn't want to alert everyone in a kilometer radius. But they typically had patrols, so it was likely a matter of time before their break was over and they split off again. If the two that had nearly found Vespa were any indication, the third guard would be alone soon enough.

"Mr. Fell, 10 minutes is a lot of time. It would make the extraction easier if we didn't have to deal with reinforcements. Me, the drone of Ms. Mirivac, and...er..." Chun attempted to snap his fingers, the kevlar gloves reducing it to an audible rubbing sound. "Serenity! Serenity. We would be able to set up an ambush. It would provide plenty of cover for our friends inside the building, if you're willing to allow us."
