She felt ready. Ichy, the suit pressing in what felt unatural ways in on her, and the armor covering what normally could be held... and a bit warmer than she care to admit... But ready. A fear to overcome, and good to come from it as well. How could she refuse such an offer? So out to the second floor, climbing the stairs with a more hollow thump than usual, she eyes sallow and smile lean. She stepped over, a gloved hand raised in greeting.

"Mokou, from the negotions... This is... ah... will be there, yes?"<br> <br>Escherr had heard the broadcast and started heading his way to the lobby. Still needing to stretch his legs and contacts, a chance to go exploring, along with helping a few to be in good graces was always a plus.

"Here for the exploration mission to the sewers."<br> <br>Milo coughs for a minute at Fire's exposition before looking to the group. "Yes, I am Milo, your representative for this mission, and this is the gathering place for it." He says "To quickly note, I am looking for a few people to survey a portion of the old sewers as requested by Zephyr, and as part of it have a map of them recorded if possible. Map materials will be provided if needed, as well as some lanterns." he says "Are you all up for such tasks?"<br> <br>Cerl nods. "I can make my own light, if needed, or record images of the tunnels we pass through." She sighs, glancing at the hyperactive pony. "Hello Fire." then nods at Mokou and Gcc, having met them on previous missions, then nods to the mall rat...the only agent she doesn't recognize.<br> <br>"Hiya, foxy person!" Firecracker returns to Cerl with a wave as she hovers at about average head height. "I'm really light already, so I don't think I can make myself even lighter, but who knows! Oh but anyway, what's your name? And what's everyone else's names toos?" she asks, looking around to the rest of the group.<br> <br> Mokou offered a slight smile back a deep breath taken in... and out. Might be the last clean one for a long while yet after all. "That sounds... Well, I am up for the task as I will ever be. The undergrounds here have been... uncertain for long enough." Reaching down to a breastside pocket, she quickly began running through something on her comms. "Just... Hmm.. Alright. P-perhaps a... lanturn would be handy for me at least. Certainty in old systems..." Looking up, a slow shiver shook her, the lass ending with a brief sigh. "Y-you have any... blueprints from... city record? Might be able... t-to have an idea with that... O-or at least a frame of reference."<br> <br>Escherr keeps looking around to each person, giving them a once over and thinking of what they could contributed. The hovering equine did seem rather easily excitable making him chuckle some as he took to leaning back against a wall letting most go before him in introductions and skills. Mokou seemed a bit nervouse to this expeidtion making him question if they could handle it. "Is just a sewer, is not even that foul smelling really. Names Escherr here and I tend to get around so can always make the maps. Mostly just wheel and deal so am good with words I suppose." Giving a shrug.<br> <br>Gcc nods at that the Milo's explanation, "I suspect that all of that will be quite possible thanks to the lights and maps."<br> <br>Milo shakes his head at Mokou "Unfortunently any records of that section of the sewers was lost during the aftermath of P-Day, which is why a map of the area is requested.

Underground always was a bit more prefered for the rat anyhow.<br> <br>the group finds the entrance to the sewer without much issue. Beginning down it, the signs of feral having transversed through the place can be seen here and there, but the Ferals themselves do not seem to want to be seen.

The sluiceway sends her to the bottom, where she stands up unharmed. <br> <br>"Or ya can just do this!" Firecracker says, hopping off Cerl's head as Gcc starts her way down the stairs. The tiny pegasus simply flutters her way down as the cougar starts to tumble to the bottom, and then the pony meets her as she stands by landing atop her head. "Hehehe, that looked fun!" she giggles, looking down over her head with a bright smile.<br> <br>Mokou trudged through the dimmly lit sewer, a hand kept upon the side of the wall with every step, careful to keep herself steady. The stench wasn't as bad as she wanted to say... but it still burnt. At least her legs didn't feel they were on fire this time. Just... tense, pressed in on all sides, something seeming ever out of reach, out in the dark... But the stairs before he? She could at least address that. A slow step forward, careful upon the slippery edges... One step down... Lifting her lantern, seemed many more to go... "Blasted... who puts stairs in a sewer," she murmured, slowly stepping further down... Echoing, solid steps. That is, until one did not echo, rather sounding like slick slap. Weight was placed though, and down she went! Tumbling, slipping down the cavern with a staunch look of surprise predominating her expression, a faint whimper at her lips as she hurtled into the beyond! |
+ | SPLASH... "Gah, I hate sewers!" Trundling to her feet, Mokou shined her light on up, trying to wave to them do them. "I'm... I'm okay! Just... Okay." Flicking the gunk off herself, she quietly grumbled, waiting for a time...<br> <br>Escherr having seen his way that was spotted before now broken stairs making him frown a bit, should of went before as was possibly lighter. Giving a shrug some and being reckless just jumps down the slide and takes it to fast as you hear a cannonball like splash a loud THUD and a bit of a groan. "Starting to think I will get hurt on every misson" Checking over his suit and finding it fine just a few sore spots.<br> <br>reaching into one of the deep pouches lining her utility belt, Cerl pulls out a thin, but fairly long, cord. Tying it securely to the strongest section of the pipe she can find, she lets herself down the pipe slowly, paying the cord out as she goes, until she is safely at the bottom. "Well, at least we have a way back up now, if it should be necessary." she snerks, looking off down the pipe ahead, shining her nanomagic light around.<br> <br>Gcc helps Escherr get up, "Well, it might just be that you go and do things like that." She looks over his suit, "Though you look like you'll live, doesn't feel like anything's broken, does it?"<br> <br>Hopping out of the way of someone who hurtled down much less... gracefully, Mokou reached out, hauling them back upright with a faint grunt of effort. "'cm on. Can't have you falling and breaking something... already..." A small smile passed her muzzle, the lass flicking her flashlight out across theway. "Let's see... Now where do we need to go...now..."<br> <br>"Woohoo! Challenge 1: Complete!" Firecracker cheers atop Gcc's head, hopping up and down in place. "Onwards to the next obstacle in our adventure!" she proclaims, thrusting a foreleg deeper into the tunnels!<br> <br>Escherr is helped up "Eh at times have to take that leap of faith" Stretching a bit and testing his limbs. "Nothing broken, a few bruises. Just don't have me lift anything and I will be fine." Looking around some to the new location and listening to the others. "I want to live inside your head for a day Fire, it seems like its a game, am decent at those" Chuckling some and cracking a bit at his joints to feel a bit better as moved to take note of their path.<br> <br>After taking some brief notes, the group continues down the pass, working their way along and keeping notes as needed. After a long walk ahead, they agian find themselves having reached a sudden drop, this time, directly down, as the pipe seems to drop into a larger resevoir, the water flowing like a falls. Nearby, they see a short bridge, which seems to be stuck upward, leading to a sturdy set of stairs on the way down.<br> <br>Looking the bridge over, Cerl finds a control panel with what looks like a working lever mechanism. "Hey guys, might want to stand back, just in case...I think I found the way to lower the bridge." With that statement out of the way, she reaches out to give the lever a pull. |

A setting sun can be seen in Fairhaven as Milo sat by himself in the Lobby of the third floor. The Pangolin smiled as he sat and looked though his reading material in his patience. He had ran the broadcast ealier and was curious who would be up for this run.
Cerl had been relaxing on the second floor, watching the ebb and flow of people down in the lobby when the broadcast for agents came through. Since she was already here in Zephyr, she decided she'd take a look and see what it was all about. Heading to the third floor she looks around, and waves at the only obvious person waiting for anything. "Good afternoon. Are you Milo? I'm here about the contract you broadcast earlier."
Gcc walks into the third floor lobby, shielding her eyes from the sun as she makes her way to the pangolin sitting by himself with a book, and the shadow vixen waving and speaking to him. She walks up and waits for the vixen to finish before starting, "Hi, are you Milo? I'm here for the Sewer Improvement Project mission as well."
Firecracker bolts up to the third floor of the building from the lobby proper below, zipping into the area with all the energy the pint-sized pink pegasus usually carries. "Hiya, peoples!" she calls out happily to the currently-assembled group, "I'm Firecracker! Is this the place for the exploramaficationating? I love doing that! Ya never know what fun stuff you're gunna find until you find it! Like when I was explorafictionating over by this river and I found a turtle and I hopped on its back and we went down into this cave and there were all these sparkly rocks and shiny things and then I found a screwdriver which was weird cause there weren't even any screws to drive!"
Mokou had seen the alert run across her comms earlier in the day, a dwelling irritation seeming to form in the pit of her gut. Last time something down beneath had happened... it had felt... Unpleasant. But today? Now? Now as she gird herself in a seperate set of gear, the lass patting the metalic tank upon her back... She felt ready. Ichy, the suit pressing in what felt unatural ways in on her, and the armor covering what normally could be held... and a bit warmer than she care to admit... But ready. A fear to overcome, and good to come from it as well. How could she refuse such an offer? So out to the second floor, climbing the stairs with a more hollow thump than usual, she eyes sallow and smile lean. She stepped over, a gloved hand raised in greeting. The others said her message well enough, but a note of confirmation was given none the less. "Heh... Hello Fire dearie. And yes, it indeed is for... exploring I believe." A swift nod towards Milo... "Mokou, from the negotions... This is... ah... will be there, yes?"
Escherr had heard the broadcast and started heading his way to the lobby. Still needing to stretch his legs and contacts, a chance to go exploring, along with helping a few to be in good graces was always a plus. Hell last time he ended up in Japan, how many could say they have been some of the first to view the strange exotic place. Looking around to the various people had shown up to the call. "Here for the exploration mission to the sewers."
Milo coughs for a minute at Fire's exposition before looking to the group. "Yes, I am Milo, your representative for this mission, and this is the gathering place for it." He says "To quickly note, I am looking for a few people to survey a portion of the old sewers as requested by Zephyr, and as part of it have a map of them recorded if possible. Map materials will be provided if needed, as well as some lanterns." he says "Are you all up for such tasks?"
Cerl nods. "I can make my own light, if needed, or record images of the tunnels we pass through." She sighs, glancing at the hyperactive pony. "Hello Fire." then nods at Mokou and Gcc, having met them on previous missions, then nods to the mall rat...the only agent she doesn't recognize.
"Hiya, foxy person!" Firecracker returns to Cerl with a wave as she hovers at about average head height. "I'm really light already, so I don't think I can make myself even lighter, but who knows! Oh but anyway, what's your name? And what's everyone else's names toos?" she asks, looking around to the rest of the group.
Mokou offered a slight smile back a deep breath taken in... and out. Might be the last clean one for a long while yet after all. "That sounds... Well, I am up for the task as I will ever be. The undergrounds here have been... uncertain for long enough." Reaching down to a breastside pocket, she quickly began running through something on her comms. "Just... Hmm.. Alright. P-perhaps a... lanturn would be handy for me at least. Certainty in old systems..." Looking up, a slow shiver shook her, the lass ending with a brief sigh. "Y-you have any... blueprints from... city record? Might be able... t-to have an idea with that... O-or at least a frame of reference."
Escherr keeps looking around to each person, giving them a once over and thinking of what they could contributed. The hovering equine did seem rather easily excitable making him chuckle some as he took to leaning back against a wall letting most go before him in introductions and skills. Mokou seemed a bit nervouse to this expeidtion making him question if they could handle it. "Is just a sewer, is not even that foul smelling really. Names Escherr here and I tend to get around so can always make the maps. Mostly just wheel and deal so am good with words I suppose." Giving a shrug.
Gcc nods at that the Milo's explanation, "I suspect that all of that will be quite possible thanks to the lights and maps."
Milo shakes his head at Mokou "Unfortunently any records of that section of the sewers was lost during the aftermath of P-Day, which is why a map of the area is requested. This map can be done using a Nanotech recording function like she had mentioned, or though pen and paper which we can supply you, we are just seeking knowledge of the area so as to know what needs to be done in the future" he says "If there are no other questions, I will hand out materials and you may be on your way. The map sheet has the starting point of the pipe in question, please follow it as far as possible and then report back to me your findings. Good Luck." he says and passes out stuff as needed.
Cerl accepts a flashlight and recording materials, stashing them in her belt pouches in case they were needed. Taking a copy of the map, she starts heading out to the pipe entrance, figuring the others will catch up once they've also gathered whatever supplies they need.
Gcc takes a lantern and some more recording materials, and walks out the door following the Shadow Vixen's lead, since she appears to have some idea of where to go.
Firecracker settles atop Cerl's head, folding her wings to her sides and sitting up on her haunches while she collects her gear. "Nope! Operation: Exploramatate the Sewers and Draw a Map is a goooo!" she cheers, thrusting a forehoof onwards towards adventure!
Mokou picked up a lantern, setting it to clip upon her hip as she moved over for a moment. Shuffling over with her comms, she finally managed to clip it upon that breastside pocket, setting it to record audio when they would reach the sewer. "G-got it... Figure out where. What. How long. How deep... Explore.. Report. G-got it." Flicing a gaze to the others, she tried to crack a smile as they headed off. "Oh, and since you asked... it is Mokou, Fire. Let's... See how this goes..."
Escherr picks up the materials as well and soon takes his leave to head to the sewer entrance. Least this would be more to his element, hoping to not face radiation again.
After a simple walk accross town, the group reaches the sewers, and the the damp mess that is within. As each person walks down into them, thoes without suits are accousted a little by the feeling of the place.
Cerl checks the map one last time to make sure she is at the entrance to the section Milo had contracted the party to chart out. Wrinkling her nose at the stench of decomposition wafting out of it, she scans the area , keeping an eye out for hostiles while the rest of the group finishes assembling.
Gcc breathes easily in the suit, takes out one of the maps they have of the sewers and attempts to orient herself by them, though she isn't paying so much attention to the depths of darkness in the sewer.
Firecracker simply rocks side to side atop Cerl's head, humming a happy little exploration tune to herself and the little group nearby as they start spelunking! Or whatever the proper term is for wandering around in the sewers. The sewer's scent doesn't seem to bother the little pony in the slightest!
Escherr moved about and to the sewer hole. Seeing as others where putting on their suits he sighed some and started to do the same "Hate these things, so constricting. Someone needs to invent another form of protection or some nanomagic." Mostly talking to himself as he dressed up and readied the suit before moving into the sewer. Underground always was a bit more prefered for the rat anyhow.
the group finds the entrance to the sewer without much issue. Beginning down it, the signs of feral having transversed through the place can be seen here and there, but the Ferals themselves do not seem to want to be seen. As the group works their way down the first stretch, they come upon a point where the path slopes downward at a steep angle, the side pathways to pipe seeming to form steps, though they are ones that are not in the best of shape.
Cerl raises her paw, a cone of light shining forth from it though she is not holding a flashlight. Aiming it down the steps, she starts to carefully examine them as far out as her light shines. "Steep steps or a slide down the pipe. neither looks like a good option for me." she murmurs.
Gcc gingerly makes her way down the stairs, almost making it to the bottom when a stair gives way beneath her, sending her on a gentle tumble into the sluiceway. The sluiceway sends her to the bottom, where she stands up unharmed.
"Or ya can just do this!" Firecracker says, hopping off Cerl's head as Gcc starts her way down the stairs. The tiny pegasus simply flutters her way down as the cougar starts to tumble to the bottom, and then the pony meets her as she stands by landing atop her head. "Hehehe, that looked fun!" she giggles, looking down over her head with a bright smile.
Mokou trudged through the dimmly lit sewer, a hand kept upon the side of the wall with every step, careful to keep herself steady. The stench wasn't as bad as she wanted to say... but it still burnt. At least her legs didn't feel they were on fire this time. Just... tense, pressed in on all sides, something seeming ever out of reach, out in the dark... But the stairs before he?

Tumbling, slipping down the cavern with a staunch look of surprise predominating her expression, a faint whimper at her lips as she hurtled into the beyond!
SPLASH... "Gah, I hate sewers!" Trundling to her feet, Mokou shined her light on up, trying to wave to them do them. "I'm... I'm okay! Just... Okay." Flicking the gunk off herself, she quietly grumbled, waiting for a time...
Escherr having seen his way that was spotted before now broken stairs making him frown a bit, should of went before as was possibly lighter. Giving a shrug some and being reckless just jumps down the slide and takes it to fast as you hear a cannonball like splash a loud THUD and a bit of a groan. "Starting to think I will get hurt on every misson" Checking over his suit and finding it fine just a few sore spots.
reaching into one of the deep pouches lining her utility belt, Cerl pulls out a thin, but fairly long, cord. Tying it securely to the strongest section of the pipe she can find, she lets herself down the pipe slowly, paying the cord out as she goes, until she is safely at the bottom. "Well, at least we have a way back up now, if it should be necessary." she snerks, looking off down the pipe ahead, shining her nanomagic light around.
Gcc helps Escherr get up, "Well, it might just be that you go and do things like that." She looks over his suit, "Though you look like you'll live, doesn't feel like anything's broken, does it?"
Hopping out of the way of someone who hurtled down much less... gracefully, Mokou reached out, hauling them back upright with a faint grunt of effort. "'cm on. Can't have you falling and breaking something... already..." A small smile passed her muzzle, the lass flicking her flashlight out across theway. "Let's see... Now where do we need to go...now..."
"Woohoo! Challenge 1: Complete!" Firecracker cheers atop Gcc's head, hopping up and down in place. "Onwards to the next obstacle in our adventure!" she proclaims, thrusting a foreleg deeper into the tunnels!
Escherr is helped up "Eh at times have to take that leap of faith" Stretching a bit and testing his limbs. "Nothing broken, a few bruises. Just don't have me lift anything and I will be fine." Looking around some to the new location and listening to the others. "I want to live inside your head for a day Fire, it seems like its a game, am decent at those" Chuckling some and cracking a bit at his joints to feel a bit better as moved to take note of their path.
After taking some brief notes, the group continues down the pass, working their way along and keeping notes as needed. After a long walk ahead, they agian find themselves having reached a sudden drop, this time, directly down, as the pipe seems to drop into a larger resevoir, the water flowing like a falls. Nearby, they see a short bridge, which seems to be stuck upward, leading to a sturdy set of stairs on the way down.
Looking the bridge over, Cerl finds a control panel with what looks like a working lever mechanism. "Hey guys, might want to stand back, just in case...I think I found the way to lower the bridge." With that statement out of the way, she reaches out to give the lever a pull.
