Log

"Any word boss, on what is going to happen?" Biggs a slightly overweight human asks, "None, now get back to manning the 50 cal." The jackal responds. Then she gets down out of the driver's seat and walks around asking, "How are you holding up?" To Casey, Alkain and Dio. She takes some binoculars out and scans the herrizon for the new agents to arrive, growing more impatient as time goes on.

In the truck, a silver lion yawns and stretches, reaching his large arms towards the metal sky. Dio rubs a bit at his eyes, attempting to remove any sleepiness and looks around for his shotgun, and notices it right where he left it. "Getting a little tired of waiting to be honest. We've got things to do, and there's... well... This," Dio points towards the tied up and infected phoenix. He picks up his shotgun and raises it to his shoulder, aiming it towards Casey. "Try not to use any of those powers you've got."

Herma popped out form a tunnel that was breaking up the ground above hir, just like Bugs Bunny was famous for in cartoons. Sie a rabbit herm of build like some sort of pagan fertility idol, Looked at the group comeing up behind hir, Herma could tell that there was some good odds for a compleat success. And if sie played hir sexual wiles right, there might be an after mission celebration sex orgy. Sie brushed the dust and dirt off of fitted heavy armor that accentuated hir hyper curves and then gave a wink to the group that called for back up "Hello everybody! I'm hoping that I took the right turn at the state border. You guys called for reinforcements right?"

Makena giggles

The talakai has been lamenting the loss of Sithra, Smokie and Angus for the past few days. Alkain looks over at the others and grumbles as he shakes his head, "Other than the fact that three people died? I'm peachy!" he sighs and looks out the window of the truck, he's just wearing some custom fit jeans, some armor and holsters for his weapons really. As Herma pops out he blinks in shock, "The hell..." then it registers that shi is an ally and he smiles weakly as he rolls down the window, "Hey there... You should get in."

It's hard to say just how Edel arrived arrived on the scene. Perhaps she was dropped off by a helicopter and walked the rest of the way. Perhaps the cosmic forces came together and she just manifested there. Well, maybe not that one, it's a bit of a stretch. Regardless, she is there, now, and approaching the truck with her hands up. "Heeeey, are you the guys that requested backup?" She really hopes they are. She doesn't want a mixup with any groups armed like they are.

CaseyRune wakes up in pain, hung over and... tied up. "Deja Vu..." The roll over to look at their 'captor' "Well of course I'm not gonna use that power, it hurts to use damnit, not to mention takes a while aye? Whats with the rope?" behind them they start trying to cause a small fire on the knot closest to their hands. "Its not like I'm going to start eating people or something."

Makena is always looking for ways to help, of course! Just recently she up in Promethian territory, speaking spanish and helping make new friends with a pack of rats from Mexico! Now she's here--they say there's going to be bad guys, maybe? She's had to deal with bullies before! Sitting in the vehicle she giggles a bit at Dio, using his shotgun as a laser pointer aimed at Casey. "Hehehe, you pretty good with that shotgun?" getting out her puppet, doin' another voice and looking off to the side so it nobody'll suspect it's her doin' the voice, "Not that I'm one to brag but I'm a fucking surgeon with this shotgun..." gigggling more, pointing a finger-gun at the fox, bein' all serious, "Yeah? Well I'm Annie Oakley and I got you right in my sights..." The little fox puppet pointing it's little paws towards Makena in turn as they contest eachother for positioning.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the HMMWV, or as people more commonly called it, the Hummvee, the ungodly uncomfortable seats toted as a feature than than a problem. She looked out the window as the woods passed by as the vehicle bumped and rocked on the uneven ground. She almost wished she had her rifle, but the call up for people to help with a potential problem that was likely to be a threat to everyone. Which was why she was coming in as a mercenary as opposed to a direct representative of Zephyr Inc. Granted, she WAS a merc in the employ of Zephyr. So it wasn't a problem for her to 'switch sides' as some would view it. still, she had her combat knife, her pistol, and that weird fucking chainsaw like sword that she'd been handed during her orientiation back at Zephyr Inc's HQ. For her, she was planning on doing this job, get paid, and maybe earn a bit extra for her work in the field. Better gear and the like. Hell, more of an allotment for her loadout would be useful. As it was, she was still getting used to the fact that she was a woman now. As the vehicle pulled up in front of the truck in the middle of boom fuck nowhere in Oregon. Stepping out, she looked over the motely crew in front of her. "RSX reported you people needed extra hands. You need a Marine?"

Pawprints seem to appear across the ground. Suddenly, a loud noise is heard as Harbringer trips, smashing her fresh prototype stealth system "Fuck, that was twenty four hours worth of progress down the drain!" she shouts angrily. Slowly, she stands to her feet and stands with the rest of everyone else "I hope RSX actually pays me." She notes harshly, noticing a few familiar faces in the group. She dusts off her nude form and ajusts her cloak "Well, time to nut up or shut up."

A rather faint noise starts to spread, after a few moments, the noise turns out to be an engine, not just any engine, an aircraft's. A medium-sized cargo-plane seems to be passing overhead, utilizing two propellor engines. Just as it reaches above the truck, the cargo-plane opens it's rear door and a large cylindrical object is pushed out, the object closes in on the ground, it's height decreasing every moment, just a few seconds before impacting the ground, the object opens a parachute, landing safely in the dirt next to the truck. Looking closely, the object is actually a pod. The door on it is soon launched out and falls on the ground, someone emerging from inside. A skunk, wearing a green woodland camo and a dark green headband with a backpack of the same color on him. On his right upper arm a band can be seen showing a cross. "Combat medic reporting for duty." The nametag on him reads "Ahm".

Biowind has been flying twords the ditress call that was relayed to the Promethean HQ and decided to go and join the fight in hope of helping. To make it to hir destication sie had to active hir combo of Felina Agility and Wind Buffet to make it. Sie looks down and see's the group and supricingly hir mate so to make a little show sie dive straigh for hir mate. Sie grafuly lands behind her and pick her up to hug her and kisses hir mate then looks to the group "Hello Goo Wolf Biowind reporting for duty from Promethean to help with the mission."

on

Another engine noise approaches, this being a jeep. It passes through part of the camp before it pulls to a stop and discharges a Lion herm in a polo shirt. A tall lion herm. SAhi seems pretty calm at first, tugging on a strap that belongs to a med kit as shi starts trotting away from the vehicle while it starts zooming off. "Zephyr agent Kori, temporary field medic. .. Could someone point me to the medical tent, if there is one." Apparently those guns make hir nervous, shi's eyeing the emplacements with a good bit of uncertainty.

Landing around fourty or so yards from the group. A woman strides toward the gathering, "I heard someone needed backup and thought that you guys could use a doctor." She strides much closer making her easier to see. Shouldering an odd looking bag, the woman moves to just a few feet away. Standing there she casually pronounces, "The name is Dr. Lillian D'Montay, I look forward to working with everyone". She scans the group for any familiar faces and taps at her beak idly.

Makena giggles, poking the fox puppet in the belly, but not before it can "pew pew!" with it's little paws, makin' her fall back against the wall of the hummer, makin' a "uggggh" sound and holding her chest, the fox making a similar reaction to Makena's near-simultaneous death blow. "nuuuuu" it says as she slips it back into her backpack.

Looking around at everyone arriving Sasha is very shocked, "How many did they request!?" she asks flailing her arms a bit at all the people. Biggs and Wedge get back into the truck and make preperation, "Do we even have enough food!?" Wedge calls out. Sasha looks around, "Ok, ok, short situation report. We are here, at the TCP, about 10 klicks south or so is our foe, the Wolf Packmind pack, they have been circling us for a while now. And.. well, our job is to stop their advance. So far we have held this point, but we need to mount a counter attack." She looks to Dio, "If I recall right, I left you in charge Mr. Lion, so, feel free to take the lead her." she says and hops into the back of the truck herself to secure supplies.

Nods, drawing her pistol. "So, we got some nasty afflicted to go after, and not a lot of time to do it. Oh, by the way, forgot to mention, I'm Glein Herrick. Who's leading this outfit in, and how we looking to do it? Ground insertion or what?

Edel adjusts her goggles and folds her arms behind her head. "Looks like a decent turn out. Medics, too. Well, this will be good, at least. We'll be safe. As safe as we can be when dealing with things like this, anyway." As an afterthought, she adds, "I'm Edel, for anyone that cares to know it."

Ahm moves over to Dio's side. "Any estimate on enemy count, sir?"

Lillian thinks for a moment, "So are we doing this as a siklent operation? Or maybe a balls to the walls let's go rambo thing?". Unsure of where they were actually going and what to expect. "We need a plan".

"Speak of the Devil," the semi-formally dressed silver lion chuckles, taking a brief glance to look upon the newcomers, but soon returns his focused to the currently infected individual. "I see that some of you really wanted to put on a show with your entrance. I certainly hope most of you know what you're getting into... My name's Dio, and yes," he returns, nodding towards Makena, "I'm alright with this weapon. Gets me where I need to go." The shotgun in question homes in on Casey's head, the lion's finger holding the trigger and ready to squeeze at a moment's notice. "You don't want to eat anyone NOW. If I detect even a little spark from you, and I'm firing." Hearing Sesha's explanation, Dio nods and slowly rises from his seat.

"I'm not actually the leader like the implies, but I'm sure we have a mutual understanding of what our objective is. I hear that some of you came in another vehicle, which is wonderful. We're after the packmind. Beware anything that isn't us. One wrong touch, and you might be gone... Lost in the packmind. We're moving out. If you don't have a mode of transportation, please jump in with us or someone else's vehicle." Dio coughs into his hand, taking a deep breath before continuing. "Check your weapons, trust your teammates, and let's move out." The lion looks towards Ahm and says, "Infinite, which is why we need to destroy the source. We don't really have a plan, as we have no idea how to actually combat it. So, we'll see when we get there. LET'S MOVE."

Alkain blinks as all the help arrives and shakes his head, "Wow..." he looks to the rest of the origional group and shrugs, "Think this is enough fire power?" he hmms at newbies and chuckles a little, "I'm Alkain, I wish this was under better circumstances though..." he looks to Ahm and sighs, "Thousands at most..." he winces at a thought and shakes his head in an attempt to dispel them, though he looks sad before he nods to Dio, "Let's get going." he looks at Makena oddly and shakes his head a bit

Makena giggles, looking around, "What if one of them becomes one of us? Isn't that how the packminds work? You know like the BOODDYSNATCHERRRRS!" waving her paws around for emphasis, "onne of usss... one of uss..." makin' a zombie face as she creeps towards Dio

CaseyRune sighs, trying to sit up with a shotgun in their face. "Well that's just unnessesary. Really." They look out the back of the TCP. "Oh joy backup... HEY! Can one of you untie me? 'fearless leader' here is being paranoid."

After ensuring that their supplies were tied down and they had enough food for at least two days, Sasha jumps back out the back. "Good more rigs, we are going to need it. Well, you heard the lion, mount up, and lets move." Hoping up into the truck she smiles at Casey, "I'll untie you, when I can turn my nanomagic on and you not wolf out on us." She says as she sits down in the passanger's side. Biggs and Wedge snap themselves in the back again, all ready to move out.

With a quick turn that made hir breasts and nuts swing in her fitted armor, Herma looked at Alakain and then pressed her breasts together while sie makes a kissy face. "Oh are you sure it's that big of deal. We're here already arn't we? With all these people, and it looks like they are starting some bondage play already." Herma pointed to the tied up Phoenix... Then she noted Harb decloak with the sound of something breaking and winces " Harb, Oh wow, if you and Bio Wolf are here then I know that there is a good chance that I'm going to have sex after the mission is over." Herma laughed as then looked Makena and Casey and answered the latter's questions "That depends... Will you promise to let me knock you up?"

Glein nods. "I got a Ma-Duece on the HMMWV. Whoever wants to man it, better you know it. Unless someone wants to drive?" Glein asks, walking back to her hummvee, and opening the door, noting the driver had done gone over to the truck. "Yeah, gonna need a driver on this thing."

Harbringer checks her shotgun, looking inside before looking back to her busted stealth device "For fucks sake...." she mumbles, looking over to Biowind "Well, this is going to be really fucking hard now..." she whimpers, hugging the goo wolf tight. Looking at all the other people, she quietly whispers, barely audible "Harbringer here, Expert necromancer. If anyone is actually gonna die, just shout out. If anyone is dead, ring my dinner bell...." before walking over and climbing into the back of the truck.

Lillian looks between the vehicles and decides on the Humvee, pointing her finger at it she yells, "Shotgun!" and books it for the front seat!

Biowind chuckles at Hemra's comment and then fallows Harb to the turck and jumps in to sit next to her. Looking around the group and only knowing a few of them sie turns to hir mate "ok honey I'm a little new so I'll stick with you and back you up."

Edel moves to climb into the truck. "Yes, the sooner we're out of here, the better." She taps a button on her sword's scabbard and settles in for the ride.

With his free hand, Dio lightly pushes Makena back with an annoyed expression growing on his face. "Cute, but please, it's time for business ma'am. We've got things to do and people to save. Also," the lion turns towards the others, threatening them with a fierce gaze. "No one will be untying him without permission. He's infected and a danger." He shoots a glance back to Sasha as his attention is caught by the word 'nanomagic'. "That nanomagic you used to create a bubble nearly fucked us over. Do NOT turn that on again without permission. I will fire upon you. Turn on the engine and hit the gas. We're gone."

Makena giggles, "So how do we beat them up? If we touch em are we doooomed? They're really infectious right? You could get PACK-JA-VI-TIS...."

Ahm walks to the back of the truck and as he wants to hop in, notices all the shenanigans and changes his mind, deciding to get in the humvee. "Well, guess I'm manning the turret." He climbs in on the back and pulls himself up by grabbing at the edge of the hole in the roof, standing up and checking the HMG.

CaseyRune peers at Herma "My pants are staying where they are, thank you very much." They heave another sigh at Sasha "Welp, I haven't grown fur in... never and I didn't let the regular nanites screw me over so what makes you think these will?"

Alkain glares at Herma and shakes his head as shi shows off, "I just lost two friends, I'm really not in the mood..." he heaves a depressed sigh as he looks at Casey, "We'll untie you when we can, or..." he sighs again and shakes his head

Glein chuckles. Check the ammo. I borrowed it from the RSX when I left their HQ. I don't know how much they left me when they gave it.

Okay, WHAT was that about dinner? "..." Or maybe that was just Kori's imagination. Hard to tell one thing from another sometimes. "...I am going to need my crossbow, aren't I." There was jut a little delay in hir reactions as people started calling out seats on a vehicle. Looks like a group about to move out. "Wait, what? Bubble? Great. So I'm going to be working in conditions where my more base abilities are fucked over. Such is life in the wastes I guess. Going to have to rely on my supernatural abilities. How much food we got? because using that magic stuff makes me fucking hungry."

Makena giggles at Dio, "But how can you tell he's infected? Did you check his teeth? How can we check if *you're* infected? hehe"

As everyone is getting ready sounds can be heard coming from the far south! Sounds of loud growling, yipping, barking and yapping! Sasha looks over to Dio, "We have something going on, and something tells me we should get moving!" Looking over to Dio she growls, "Ok, 'team leader' I'd be the squad leader, so I out rank you, but if we don't get moving we might have something worse on our hands then what we already had going on!

"Your rank can kiss my ass," Dio shouts, hearing the impending trouble closing in. "Hit the gas, NOW! Get ready on those turrets."

Lillian starts thinking a bit, "So I'm guessing that this won't be your first encounter with these Dio?" Her interest piques with the howling.

Ahm takes out his walkie-talkie, trying to contact Sasha. "Ma'am? Just to be on the safe side, what should we expect in the form of enemy attacks? Do they bite and scratch or should I look out for projectiles also?

CaseyRune lies on the floor with a very 'here we go again' look on their face. They decide to go back to sleep to mitigate their hangover for the time being, since well there wasn't much they could do anyway.

Makena giggles, "Hehe, so while Dio's busy totally not caring about who's in charge, could someone tell me *how* you spot a packmind infection? Like, before we all die? hehehe"

Alkain winces at the howling and shakes his head, "Crap..." he looks at the others in the truck and nods to Dio, "I agree, punch it!" as he gets back into a seat, he looks at Makena and sighs, "They are wolves, feral wolves. They'll be about the only things out here."

Growling, Glein slams th door close. "FUCK TALKING! RACK THAT DUECE AND GET IT READY TO ROCK!" She yelled, reaching under teh wheel to turn over the engine. As it roared back into life, Glein grabbed the clutch and cranked it into position to drive. "You! Passenger, Your name? Also, you manage the radio, you keep us in contact with the rest of the convoy." She hit the gas and made the engine roar a little louder to prepare to drive off as soon as the truck began moving.

As they move along, Sasha gets on the radio, "Listen up, the only way to spot an infected is if they are infected and transfroming, they fight using only claws and teeth, at least as far as we have seen. ANd just to be - OH MY GOD!" The sight is incredible! Hundreds... no.. maybe thousands... Uncountable numbers of Foxes.. Wolves.. fighting each other, biting, some turning to goo, other transfroming and joining the other side. As the trucks and others enter the area, that familiar feeling of comfort and stregth returns. A bubble is present... or no... more then one!

Harbringer looks down at her hands, then to her book. "I think i'll get some reading done on this book." She notes, holding up a skin covered book. She flips it open and begins reading "Okay....chapter one. How to be scary in case you are seen."

Edel stares at the chaos and draws her pistol, favoring a long range approach for the time being. "Yeesh. Look at all... This!"

Biowind looks over the group and see's that everyone seems very powerful compared to hir. But can feel that with hir stratigy of combing hir powers sie should be ok. Looking to the phoenix tied up sie can smell that something is slowly happing to the bird and decides to keep a close watch on it while keeping close to Harb.

Lillian looks at the animals ahead and busts open her knapsack and begins mixing plants together into a salve. "I don't know who of you here have distinct musks, but you might want to throw this on to mask your scent as prey. I'm not sure if it'"

Makena giggles "But the Phoenix there is, well, a phoenix! Right? hehe. I know if someone gets bit they prolllly got infected, but what if we don't see them get bitten? What are... hehe... the Warrrrning Signs... Do they crave marshmallows? Do they Become Marshmallows? "

Ahm pushes the trigger with all force, muzzle wide open, yelling "Die you bastards! Die!". The empty bullet cases jump one by one out of the .50 cal, creating a track behind the humvee.

Lillian looks at the animals ahead and busts open her knapsack and begins mixing plants together into a salve. "I don't know who of you here have distinct musks, but you might want to throw this on to mask your scent as prey. I'm not sure if it'll save your life but it never hurts to try."

Kori looks at hir supplies and curses. "Shit that's a fuckton of ferals. These must be those pack things, right? Makes it much worse." Shi starts mumbling some kind of chant under hir breath right around then, the tattoos around hir eyes lighting up with a pale silver-ish moonlight.

Alkain shakes his head as he readies his mauser and looks to Makena, "He was bitten." he looks at the war going on and shakes his head more, "Geez... That's... Not good." as he readies to shoot at anything that approaches the truck

The gun fire quickly dispatches some of the foes, who... seem only to melt and reform nearby! To rejoin the fighting! Up on the turret, Wedge continues fire from his gun, but, there seems to be no end of them! Fighting on a large group of the wolves turn toward everyone, and the foxes try to catch them!
