Log

Though not present himself, Colonel Voss sent out messages and requests that civic minded people join up with some of his crew to investigate and possibly salvage what may from the building as Eureka will benefit in the long run from renewed power.

Edel didn't need much convincing to join in on a salvaging mission. She practically lived for that kind of work! As she shuffled around the plant, though, a frown formed on her face. "This place isn't in the best of shape... Though I suppose that's to be expected," she muses to herself.

Knowing full well what the group was looking for, and having spent many hours in this building and the one next door, Savi was eager to begin the shakedown of the building. "It's old." Savi says in agreement with the other soldier. "But all we need is the design. Any scrap of paper, any working machine. If we cant get all the parts we can figure out ways to make more." 'kicking over a small piece of debris with a tendril the plant covers her face completely in her Shemagh. "I'm just worried what might be living in here."

Twitch adjusts her hold on the high powered rifle that was usually slung over her back, her eyes darting around and nose wiggling as she keeps an open eye for any scrap... After all, scrapping was what keeps her alive these days, and it is a rare treat to get authorized to scrap a power plant! "Is not bad. More damaged place is, easier is to get scrap and parts." She smirks somewhat as she sends the bolt of her rifle foward with a sharp clack. "Not like we walk into hell."

Tama. opting to fly instead of walk this time, arrives much quicker than before, offering a wave and announcing. "Tama, Night Daggers, it appears I've been autorized to keep working on this mission."

Lotus arrives on the scene with her usual smiling face and a slight swing in her step.

Katalynia arrives to the power plant. Shi smile genially at Sav and Tama as shi made hir way towards Lotus. Shi cuddles up against Lotus keeping hir wings carefully folded to avoided taking up more space than necessary. "Mmm...hey, Save, Tama, the rest of ya'll. Hello, Miss Lotus, its nice to see You here!"

Cookies arrives in her bizarre little techsuit, mocha kitty concealed within. Packed to the brim with prior experience and appropriate nanomagics, not to mention wearing her RSX op badge right on the front of her suit, she's eager to assist with the job, though as it stands she's wordless as she enters the area. That Voss guy sure /seemed/ legit. Still, she nods to Savi, recognizing her almost immediately. Hard to miss the ferocious plant, after all, even when she's being tiny.

With no one on scene to supervise, the group is left to themselves to figure out how to procede. The place had a certain smell to iy...something akin rotting cabbage, but who knows what was causing that. Stale urine and musk here and there...but no signs of feral activity in the open.

But what first?

With hugs and greetings all around, and a brief thought o how not so long ago all these friendly faces seemed strange and unknown, Savi turns her attention to the room. "An office, a storage room. Any kind of record keeping." gesturing to the junk all around the plant continues. "We should see if what we are looking for is already written down, before we decide if we need to start pulling things apart." With a broad sniff at the room she goes on. "Savi also suggests we all stay togethner and mark any important looking machines as we may pass them."

Edel sniffs at the air and shrugs. "Hopefully we won't have any troubles with violent parties." As others begin to show up, she glances over them and gives a little wave. "Ah, I don't think I know... Most of you. Might as well introduce myself! I am Edel." She dips into a little bow before turning her attention back to the room in general. "Schematics would be superb!"

Lotus takes a hold of Katalynia's hand and surveys the group, looking over the familiar forms and lingering a little longer on the unfamiliar forms. She happily hugs Saviante and waves to Cookies with her free hand. "How do you suggest mark them?"

Twitch nods to Savi, looking around the area as she tries to take note of any specific doors that may lead to small rooms or offices. "Am Twitch." Her grip on her rifle doesn't lessen, well aware how relaxing too much while scrapping can mean your end. "Could cut symbol into them." She glances to her knives.

Tama looks aroudn warily "We sould get together some solar panels, i have no doubt that theyd have those here. We should keep an eye out for any instruction manuals on power generation as those would have instructions on how to build wind turbines for sure. We should split up into 3 groups of 2 for expediency, less we just end up getting in eachothers ways, also one group has to be of 3"

Katalynia smiles happily. "Hi, Edel, great to meet you! I'm Katalynia." Shi gives a small curtsy. Shi holds onto Miss Lotus' hand. "Shall we travel in a group? We could cover more ground seprately...but if there are hostiles about that could be problematic." Shi nods in agreement with Tama. "If the facility has any, that would be great. Schematics and instructionswould be equally wonderfully if there's any laying about."

Savi looks up at Tama and frowns beneath her mask. In silent answer to how to mark something she reaches over and runs one finger across the wall twice, leaving a bright X in the stains of time. With a pointed looks towards Twitch she moves more to the center of the room. "Savi still thinks we should stay together, at least for a first sweep."

Cookies finally speaks up. "Standard salvage operation or are we actually trying to get anything up and running again for reclamation? Was not made clear. Can do both," she claims, shifting her weight onto one leg and crossing her arms.

Tama realizing the falw in her plan she hastily revises it "On second tought we need someone who can read through all the manuals and such for the turbine schematics, so make that two groups of 3, if nobody has any objections i volunteer to read through all the manuals and such to find wherever the wind turbine schematics are located as they sould be here, it seems fitting since i suggested it. If you are ok with that then savi, cookies, twitch, you seem to each know eachother so you team up as well, another good reason for me to searchs the manuals, anybody who finds anything report back to me with it."

Lotus smiles at Savi and copies her action, dragging a gooey finger near the 'X'. Her smooth skin quickly picking up the dust and grime, leaving a similar 'x' on the wall. She signals Savi with a thumbs up.

Twitch raises an eyebrow at the pointed look but shrugs and takes a few steps forward. "Twitch not able to read. Will make sure give anything Twitch find then." She looks to Savi, the plant woman knew what she was looking for specifically, and Twitch had no issues following her lead.

Savi nods after a few minutes of hesitation and agrees to the split, but still not liking the idea. "There is a generator there... or most of one. Thats our goal if all else fails." Looking up she points with one hand. "Catwalk above, dangerous but likely leads right to an overseers office." With a motion forawd she indicates the deeper parts of the powerplant. "Two teams, two directions. Take your pick."

Edel scratches her cheek and nods. "I don't mind sticking together, but if we feel it best to split up, I'm okay with that, too!" For now, though, she sticks near Savi. "I will... Not go with the catwalk. I am light on my feet, but not all that light. I don't trust that structure."

Tama claims for adamantly "We arent speaking of failure, failure does not exist, we will succeed because New Dawn recquires us to succeed, Success is recquirement and failure is not an option, remember that"

Katalynia nods. "I should be able to read and help implenent any schematics or manuals we may find." Shi listens to Savi not really having spent time in Eureka much outside the Cow Barn. "Generator...hmmm...that's good to know..." Shi snuggles up against Miss Lotus pondering which direction might be best...

Twitch looks to Savi and gives a smile. "Lead way boss. Know place better then Twitch." She rolls her shoulder, and makes certain her bandoliers of munition is held tightly to her... Nobody want's to lose their ammo, and be unprepared for when they need it!

Eerie silence takes over the building once the talking stops, nothing to be heard but the indistinct dripping of water somewhere.

Cookies cheerfully pipes up, "If the generator is the last thing we're hitting up then I'd like to go on the catwalks first." She shifts again uncomfortably. "Bad idea to split. But I can manage. Good at these things. NICE user. Nanomagic types include techno and data, though are not limited to."

With a shrug Savi turns her attention tot he Catwalk. "Savi will open the way for you." Working her way to the wall, Savi begins to extend her nanomagic tentacles in an attempt to grasp the catwalk from here. "Anyone who is going, grab on." the little plant says, planning to pull the group up like a retractable ladder.

Having come to help keep everyone safe Lotus volunteers, "I'll go this way" She steps closer to Saviate and wraps and arm around her waist.

Edel looks at Cookies for a moment and nods. "The only nanomagic I've got that could possibly be useful is electrical! So... If we need it, I can do it! I'll just look around down here, though. Shout if you need help!"

Twitch flicks her ears and steps to Edel's side, watching the others. "Twitch not good high without wings. Will go low." She nods slighty.

Tama begins looking around the areas the others missed while waiting for them to return with manuals and schematics for her to sift through

Cookies quickly moves to grab onto Savi. This seemed a little silly to her but hey, dumber things have happened. "Catwalk... Should probably hold us. Probably." She listens intently for creaking noises. "Juuust... fiiine."

Positioning herself sligthly to the side (to allow for easier climbs over at the top) Savi grips the catwalk lightly and, at the last moment, alters her plan slightly. With one serious yank down Savi attempts to make sure the whole things wont collapse without a tense climb to get their hops up first, then (barring any structural collapse) begins working the group towards the top.

The catwalk creaks lightly, swinging ever so slightly as if the supports for it were lose somewhere along the way, but it appears to hold.

Tama moves her seach to the general area of the generator searching to see if how it was charged, thinking perhaps shed find some sort of schematics on how it was built or wires leading to how it was charged up if at all.

Edel looks up to the catwalk, for a moment before smiling to Twitch. "Good to have company down here on the ground. Maybe we'll find something useful!" She props her arm up on the pommel of her sword and shuffles off, eyes on the ground, on the wall, and on anything that looks promising.

Cookies takes another quick look at the catwalk but not in any actual detail, more just a cautious glance. "Walk slow. If it starts falling, walk fast. Do not run, heavy footsteps will just make it fall faster." That being said, she continues onwards. "Where did you say this went again, plant?"

Lotus grips Saviante tightly as she ascends to the catwalk.

Twitch turns her attention from the group heading up. She looks around one finale time before reslinging her rifle upon her back. "Everything useful. Just matter how useful is." She turns and goes to rummage through the various junk and rubble that litters the floor... Checking for anything one of the more litterate based persons might find useful.

Looking to Cookies Savi grins. "Savi didn't. But in most places the catwalk is for overseeing, The overseer will have access here to watch the workers. Savi expects an office, but can not promise." Usinging her tentacles, Savi malks slowly, her vines spreading out her weight, and reaching for the rafters in case a flass is inevitable. "Look for any access to anything, even the roof. Leave nothing unturned."

Katalynia watches as Miss Lotus climbs up with Saviante. Gasping for a moment as it looks like the catwalk might give and breathe heavily as it holds for the moment. Shi starts hir own search for manuals or schematics.

The catwalk creaks here and there and at one point there is a gentle *ping* and a gentle clatter as a small pin and primer latch fall to the ground below, but fortunately nothing else takes place.

Tama begins working on the generator, hoping to provide more light to help the others better see what they are doing in hopes that they will miss less, after some tinkering she has it set up so that it should be able to run on fuel, she then changes into an oil baron to provide enough fuel to get the generator running

Hearing the sharp ping Savi grabs onto the catwalk floor with her lehs vines and sends her arms and tentacles out to the left and right, grabbing onto any sturdy structure, they wall, the rafters, pillars, anyting that would provide a grip. Nodding to Cookis and Lotus she whispers, as if even sound could bring it down. "Follow it, find where it goes. Savi will hold up us as much as Savi can. Walk carefully, but Savi suggests you hurry."

Twitch flinches at the sound of the pin snapping, turning on a heel to look up... And sighs in relief when she sees the building isn't falling on everyone. She turns back to looking about the lower level, inspecting the ground around, and below the generator to see if any manuals or publications had slipped under it over time.

The sound causes Edel to quickly turn her attention to the catwalk. "Is... Everything okay up there? If you fall, please try not to land on me, yeah?" That said, she considers Twitch's statement. "I suppose you're right there. Everything has some use, I suppose! Even if it's just breaking it down to be used in other things."

Cookies proceeds with a certain fluid, smooth movement that could only come from training, moving quickly and efficiently without stepping too heavily or too fast. This was the movement of an RSX operative! She's eagerly searching for the nearest opening anywhere, all but praying for it as those awful sounds ring out. "Wherethefuckisthisroom!"

With the lights out searching for rooms isn't impossible, but all that really stands out are the shapes of exit signs, a plaque here and there and the occassional arrough with writing obscured by both dusk and gloom.As luck would have it, Kat does wander into an area that is a series of doors, but what they contain is another matter.

Lotus glides across the catwalk following Cookies, her smooth motion taking her forwards to the nearest door. She turns back and shoots a questioning look at the others with a hand on the doorknob.

On the upper level things wrap around the generator, giving a gloomy, shadowed view of the bulding interior, painting most things as ominous hulks of metal and darkness, but part way around the catwalk is a box of grey and darkness that could be a room...cept...it isn't completely dark, a dull red light flickers on and off here and there at random intervals.

Inching slowly, like a giant spider limbs stetched in every possibly way, Savi motions forward excitedly. "There... that light means power,likely the standby for the backup." Her excitement ebbing Savi wonders if she shouldnt mention the horrible thought she just had. "I hope it doesn't wake something up."

Tama.having worked with katalynai in teh past, knows that theres nothing to fear for kats group, so she begins salvaging the larger generator for parts in an attempt to build a smaller scale generator that she can use to power the area she knows the other group headed off to, she hopes she can work quickly enough to be of assistance

Twitch huffs as she notices a severe lack of publications and manuals. She turns and begins to head Edel's way as she motions up to the catwalk. "If rooms around... Then probably ferals round yes? What thinking may live here? Maybe clockwork stuffs?"

Cookies makes her way towards the red light. Reaching up to the cam on her helmet, she switches on the light and scans it over the area, grabbing onto a nearby handhold- preferably not directly attached to the catwalk- and getting a better look at it.

Edel shrugs at Twitch. "My guess would be... Elemental things, perhaps? Maybe clockwork, but that doesn't really strike me as something that'd be in a power plant... Hopefully there's nothing here at all, though!" Her arm remains propped on her sword, never straying far, though. "But it doesn't hurt to be on guard, hmm?"

Katalynia grumbles a bit as shi struggles to jury-rig up a generator at least enough to power some lights...

Tama takes a deep breath and finishes creating something that she prays will be able to succeed in providing some light

Investigating the light proves it to be a door...well no...it isn't a door, the light is being viewed through the window on a door. Whatever it is is unclear, but each time it flickers there is a dull impact or two and then it steadies for a little while.

The twin attempts at making generators seem to be going well and one of them even warms up and begins sputtering to life, throwing out sparks and power, causing lighting in the place to hum and flicker briefly before browning out without the required capacitors to hold the charge as the machine stablizes...and those are missing because the OTHER device has them, able to hold a charge but not able to generate power.

Oh look, that red light? it was ever so briefly surounded by lots of tiny control panel lights...then nothing and the red light...Goes. Out. Then the low curses in a strange tonge begin...briefly, just like the harsh clacks of slide hammers.

Twitch shrugs slightly and goes to unsling her rifle once more as she keeps her eyes on the catwalk... Her fingers moving along it like it was an extension of herself... Which given the nanites that made it when she got this form, it technically was! She carefully toys the safety off as she speaks to Edel. "Am thinking... Should have brought flood lights Zephyr like putting everywhere... Or maybe flares." Her gaze not leaving those on the cat walk as the others behind her do their tinkering.

Tama goes up to katalynia and whispers something very quietly in her ear before looking over their generator, monitoring it to make sure the power doesnt go out and keeping it fueled.

Savi pulls herself sligtly off the catwalk and arm over arm walks herself towards the door. Her black slick latex skin just a glint in the darkness. "We are not alone." she whispers urgently. "Clear the room Cookies, we need a position to defend!" though whispering the uprise in tone give away the urgency in the plants voice. "We need to be off this catwalk before the fight starts." With that the plant tries to simply... vanish from sight.

Edel nods at Twitch and pulls her sword from the scabbard. "Perhaps you are right. Lights would be good." She shuffles to the side and pulls her hood up. "Sounds like things might be about to get interesting, though!"

Cookies growls slightly at the lights and noises. She readies her strange little nanite shotgun and aims the barrel towards the opening door- or what should be if she can open it, reaching out to open it up, eyes set on wherever her flashlight shines into the room. Her tail flickers about in excitement behind her.

Close behind Cookies, Lotus leans around a little peers into the room. Her smooth curvy body seemingly ill-equipped body tenses, waiting to spring into action.

The door is not silent, it creaks as it opens slowly and in that moment two things happen: First little red lights begin popping up on the catwalk support poles and wire sure points all over the place in a series of little rigged grenades priming...well all except one which got pressure released earlier...so where Savi and the others climbed up there is a detonation and a twisted ruin of the catwalk comes rolling down as the rest of the catwalk is rocked. On the other end small arms fire peppers the doorway, clearly intent on pushing the team back onto the catwalk. Lucky for these ladies, the weapons fired are more about penetrating armor as opposed to stopping power.

CLimbing up her own tentacles like a spider Savi growls and without much thought, lets go, grab for the next rafter in line and swings toward the door, her large ballistic shield acting as a battering ram. Using her second tentacle and her massive strength, Sav releases from her swing and grabs for the building. Planning on pulling her form forward into the door like a taught spring pulling back into shape.

Tama watches and listens from a distance waiting for something.

Lotus gets clipped by Saviante's freight-train like approach and tumbles down a set of nearby stairs coming to a heavy stop on the landing with a loud slap.

Cookies is sent stumbling back onto the catwalk. That could have been a lot worse, but ow nonetheless! She damned near fires her shotgun in the sudden panic but manages to barely keep her cool, cradling the weapon like a fond lover and keeping it trained on the door. Not that she wasn't confident that Savi would plough through whatever had the poor sense to try to hurt them, but it never hurt to be safe!

Twitch raises her rifle up to the cat walk, and slowly begins to manuever herself so that she can find some semblence of cover behins the scrapped generator... Waiting for whatever it is that decided to open fire.

Tama takes a deep breath and shouting as loud as she can says "LURE THE CREATURE tO ME IVE GOT A PLAN GUYS WE jUST NEED TO GET THAT THING OVER HERE AND I CAN DEAL WITH IT" she begins making a few alterations to the generator she and Katalynia had cooked up.

Edel startles at the sounds of gunfire. Of all the things she was expecting, she cannot say that she was expecting that. Sword in hand, she skitters into a corner of the room, crouching down to lie in wait. She'd rather not rush up there head first, and doesn't want to chance hitting a friendly with her own weaponry, so she settles for the next best thing and prepares to ambush anyone that makes it to the ground floor.

In the gloom of the room things are hard to make out, but a pair of well built chinese nationals dressed in local street clothes are smashed between Edel's shield and a wall, dazed, their SMGs hanging from their shoulders as one reaches for a pistol and the other a knife as they try and free themselves from the pinned position they are in. A curse from one of them has the one holding the knife reaching toward the ground for something, struggling and straining to reach.

Savi, barely non feral in her bloodlust. Assuming whoever is behind her will deal with the other one, the vicious little plant decides the one bending down is closer. Her long thorns pressing through her finger tips, she drops the shield, onto whatever he was reaching for. Both hands free the blood crazed para plant goes for the soldier's face with both sets of claws. Voice raising to a high pitch the plant all but loses control. "You will NOT enjoy this..." in her ears Tama's voice comes through, but as her crawls go for the exposed skin, Savi realizes she isnt even sure which direction Tama is at the moment.

Tama sighs "Amateurs.... Making me have to use this...well i geuss it cant be helped..." she rushes over as quick as her wings will carry her and shifts into a sentient latex pool right above the mutant going for the pistol, covering almost its entire body in thick latexto restrain it. "Relax little mutant, I dont INTEND on killing you but things dont always go as i intend..." she whispers in a voie as cold as ice, hoping that the mutant reaching for a pistol can feel the murderous intent behind her words even if it cant understand them, she doesnt care about having to kill the creature but figures its more useful alive...

Lotus lays in a dazed heap for a short while.- "They... shot me!" -Breaking from her grogging thoughts she snaps to and sucks hard on one of her own nipples guzzling down her milk. The holes and grazes in her gelatinous body begin quickly closing over and she surges up the stairs like a tidal wave of goo and rage.

Cookies has taken the past few moments to recompose herself after the jarring head-bop from Saviante's shield, but once she's shaken herself back into reality she quickly rushes in through the door, gun trained on... well, Saviante mostly, but that's not really intentional. Once she manages to get a glimpse of just what it is she's holding down, her eyes go wide as dinnerplates. "Whoah whoah whoah whoah whoah--!" she mewls out again and again, lowering her shotgun to start waving her hands. "Bind them not kill them, BIND THEM! VINES! VINES PLANT VINES!"

Twitch reslings her rifle upon her back and unholsters one of the SMG's from her hip, racking the slide and setting it into the square of her shoulder as she dashes forward to the base of the stairs... Her voice low as she speaks to Edel. "Gunman up top. Explosion mean it probably set explosives... Know what looking for?" She inquires as she keeps the SMG aimed up the descending stairs.

Having to watch one of your fellows get his face neck and shoulders raked, clawed and shredded whilst he screams, struggles and gurgles is enough to rattle most men, even trained soldiers, especialy ones taught that contact with these mutants was essentialy death. The other soldier whispers a goodbye and a prayer to his friend before leveling his gun first at his comrade, his weapon shaking before pulling the trigger, shooting the man in the neck, hastening his end before continuing to pull the trigger, intent on hitting the plant moster as well.

Edel looks at Twitch from under her hood, then up at the catwalk above. "Given where this is... And the fact that they were using guns... I can take a good guess. I don't know where the bombs are, so I'm not about to go up and find out the hard way. We're not fighting mutants, but armed people. Take caution if you go up, because I don't know how many."

Katalynia snarls when shi hears the gunfire. Hir normal demeanor vanishing in almost an instant. Shi flies up to the door looking at the surviving soldier with cold emotionless eyes. Shi opens hir maw and spews forth a black liquid latex-like substance.

His shriek becomes a gurgle, then silence as his muffled struggles form bubbles in the latex and then stillness. The pair of soldiers neutralized, the group is free to lick their wounds...unless they are forgtetting anything.

Cookies helplessly watches the soldier gurgle and suffocate to death and lets out a very sarcastic toned cheer. "Hoo-fucking-ray, motherfuckers! I'm surrounded by animals. Filthy animals." She groans and takes a look at the bombs. "Oh fuck that shit," she mumbles, approaching them and, slinging her shotgun over her back, she rubs her hands together and cracking her knuckles. "Get out of the room. If any of you fuck up my stride I will kill you when we get better. From being dead."

Twitch flinches at the pained shriek, and looks to Edel. "... Am thinking, they have gunman handeled. Need to make sure all bombs known, so nobody go boom when try to leave." She adjusts her stance and goes to move herself so she crouches near Edel, scanning the catwalk's supports for the blinking red lights.

Edel straightens back up and bobs her head, returning her sword to its scabbard. "Well, at least it didn't seem to be too many of them?" She looks upwards and calls out, "Is everyone alright up there? Any injuries?"

The numerous stings across her face snap the little plant back into reality. Having no real understanding of the past couple of minutes, Savi blinks at the form under her, having no idea how close she came to death. Poking the body once she turns to look back at Cookies, but stops her vie as it passes the still twiching moaning form of the second Soldier. "Savi doesnt think they are going to make it." she whispers softly.

Lotus gets to the top of the stairs and grinds to a halt at the doorway, the situation apparently in hand. She squirms a little and avoids looking at the mutilated bodies.

Cookies waves her fingers at the red lighted thingamabobs. "Not bombs," she declares way too confidently. "Nope... No, okay. Definitely thingamabobs." She nods and immediately turns around, clapping her hands together. "We have options! Figure out what the fuck thingamabob A's deal is? See also: It's a red flashlight. Or perhaps flip thingamabob B, what I believe to be some kind of switch, and either disarm the bombs or kill us all? I'm pretty sure it's the latter, by the way. I just want us all to decide on killing ourselves before I can be blamed." She pauses to add a note, "This really sucks, also. I hate this very much. You fling LAWs and GLs around like nobody's business but one day one fuckin' day you come across the wrong goddamn mines and you have no idea what to do with yourself."

Twitch huffs slightly as she continues to scan the blinking lights along the catwalk with the sights of her smg. "... Am thinking, if they leave... Could shoot and blow them up. But if they leave, they blow up..." She looks to Edel. "Think they having good chance of disarming? Or we needing better cover?"

Edel shakes her head. "I'd rather not blow them up. Might destroy some good salvage, you know? Disarming is a priority, but..." She pauses and lowers her voice. "I have no clue how good any of them are at that. Maybe they'll find a way to do it, but in the mean time I think I'm going to... Distance myself, yes." After another look around, she begins scooting backwards and away from those on the catwalk.

Katalynia shifts hir form once more if only to provide better cover for the group. "With all due respect, Miss Lotus, I think you may want to get behind me. Anybody else inclined to do so may do so as well." Shi looks at Cookies. "With any luck we'll be the only ones to die horribly if things go wrong.....good luck."

Standing up on shaky vines, her ferver winding down, Savi looks around the room for a mombet before a dumb look comes over her eyes. Reaching to her belt she pulls a small tube off and raises it shoulder height. With a soft click-swish the room is filled with the unnerving black-light effect of her sword of light. "We should take it all. Everything that isnt tied down. Undo every bolt, every wire. Move the entire station pice by piece." Looking that the two bodies she sighs. "And we can strip them." Walking to the window Savi waves to the people on the ground. "We have the detonator. I doubt there is anyone else waiting in here."

Twitch quickly follows Edel's actions... Taking cover behind the generator. "Don't worry! Have full faith you all disable bombs!" She calls out. Gotta be emotional support!

Cookies rifles through the bodies of the soldiers in search of goddamn anything to help her with the bombs and, in her eyes, finds nothing. Of course, she's in a feline panic (not such a fancy RSX op now, are we, newbie?!), and her eyes are flitting all over the damn place. With that, she cheerfully announces, "Fuck!" and promptly gets to work on disarming the individual bombs. Welp!

Katalynia shifts hir position to keep hirself between the bombs and others at least shi cold absorb the brunt of any blast should they go off.

Edel gives a thumbs up and nods before ducking behind the generator, herself. "Yes, good luck! I know you can do it. If not, I'll take good care of your stuff! Promise!"

Knoing that is the little Catgirl fails, she is dead already, Savi turns her attention to going through the room, looking for any charts, lists, or manuals. People had died already and this mission now had an urgency to it that comes with such a price. Trying hard not to think of what Cookies was doing, the plant begins going through any drawer or space she can find, even taking off the boots of the two (hopefully) dead soldiers. "Find those schematics." she half-yells to no one in particular.

Twitch looks over to Edel as they hide behind the generator. "... Am thinking, they have bombs controlled... Think gunman have friends around?" She motions to the front door, which was completely unguarded.

Cookies disarms receivers! She cuts pressure cables! She dismounts bombs! With that she has for herself a stack of inactive bombs, with no small amount of effort. Carefully setting them down by eachother, she lets out a satisfied sigh of relief and nods to herself. She then flips the switch for good measure. "Yee-up we're good," she announces, brushing off her hands and nodding. She moves over to loot the map and keys from the soldiers, deeming the knives and guns to be less of her interest. "What were we doing again?"

Edel blinks at Twitch, then looks to the door. "I... Don't think so. It's not likely, but I'll keep my eyes on the door, anyway. Can't be too careful. Last thing we need is an ambush!"

Savi's searching yields results perhaps other than she was expecting: She finds stached uniforms marking them as chinese regulars as opposed to stranded immigrants. A love letter detailing a romantic meeting in the powerplant and a briefcase that appears quite locked, there is a strange lack of any paperwork loose in the office at all.

Katalynia licks hir lips a bit. "I ahhh...don't suppose anyone wants the bodies? Cuz I know a person or two that could...mmmmm......use them....."

Bodies? What bodies? There is a latex mold of Han Solo and a pile of clothing next to it.

Twitch shrugs slightly and manuvers along the generator so she can have a view of the door with her SMG. "S'pretty easy job today. From sounds nobody really hurt... They find the papers hopefully, and all well that end well." She smirks as her nose wiggles slightly.

Edel scowls and looks back up towards the catwalk. "I don't know what condition our foes are in, now, but regardless; leave their remains in peace. Even if nothing is left but a pile of ashes. I will tend to what is left, later."

Holding the Briefcase out to Cookies, Savi holds the letter in her hand. Reading over it a few times Savi grows cold from the inside out. Placing the letter silently in her pocket she looks over the remains. "This... is just a reminder of what kind of monster Savi is." she says softly indicating the letter. "It is not important to the job at hand. Take the case and meet up with the others, We'll need to take everything and for that we will need more people." Depression setting in Savi stands up and looks out toward the others. "Anything down there?"

Tama yells to katalynia "Harb wont be interested in a love note. Lets bring back the body and see what he wants to do Kat, I have no intention of going back empty handed..."

Cookies glances at Katalynia and scoffs. "Disgusting animal," she growls out before approaching Savi and the letter, swiping it up and reading over it quickly. She frowns a bit and reads it over again. And again. And again. She seems to be looking very intently for something, anything. All she can do is hope she'll find something incriminating and damned if she isn't intent on finding it whether it's there or not.

Edel's scowl deepens, and she raises her voice to make sure that she is heard. "As I said, if there is a body please leave it. The last thing it needs is to go towards that lunatic's experiments or whatever it is they do. Whatever is left of them, I'm going to make sure that it is respectfully dealt with."

Twitch toys with the safety as she looks to Edel, then up to the group in the room. "Good money or scraps up there? Anything good to sell?"

Tama twitches "Did you just insult our boss?"she asks, on the brink of a fit of rage.

Katalynia remains impassive at the scorn. "No more or less so than anybody else." She swishes hir tail slightly. "Your concern for the dead is noted if archaic and sentimental. The sanity of our leader isn't really an issue, I don't think one latex coated body is too much to ask for."

Savi looks at the group. "The bodies will be buried, we have disrepected them enough. Finish what we came for." He voice cold and serious, the plants mood has dropped to the point where all she wants to do is find Cerris, and cry.

Twitch leans back, propping a foot up as she yawns. "Need Twitch up there for help? Or enough already up?"

Cookies grunts and nearly crushes the letter in her hand. Not quite, though. She uncurls it again and reads it aloud, voice unfaltering but all at the same hushed tone: "'Frank. Our time together has been wonderful. I'm beyond certain I'm pregnant, another nanite miracle. I've decided I want the baby and I want to be with you forever. Meet me at the old plant. Let's have one last time where we worked side by side, for after this, I'll no longer be able to look at you with a man's eyes, or a man's body. I bought a vial. I'm goin gto take it. If I must birth a child, I'm going to live as a proper woman. It's not like I was a top, and if you wanna use it, I'll still have a butt, right? Lou.'" She shoots a dagger-like stare to Katalynia and Tama. "Fucking worthless vultures. Animals." Staring back at the ground, her glance slowly falls on the briefcase. "Nothing here. Except what's in this briefcase." She stares down at the briefcase and, taking the key, she unlocks it. She's hesitant to open it. She knows she isn't going to like whatever she's going to find inside, but she cracks it open nonetheless.

Edel folds her arms. "As Savi said, any bodies shall be buried. I believe that is the popular decision here." There's a soft sigh, and she rubs the bridge of her nose. "Did we find anything at all like we initially came for?"

Inside the briefcase is a assortment of operations manuals, procedure guides, parts lists, layouts and assembly plans. Atop that are two plant security badges. One has a rather jovial-looking redfaced man named Frank Gambioni and the other a brick slab of a man named Lou Ferrelli.

Tama growls "worthless little zephyr... Ill waste you for insulting our boss, and then ill have him revive you SO I CAN KILL YOU ALL OVER AGAIN" She grabs her head as the last remnants of her self control fade away. She grins derangedly at the thoughts going through her head.

Twitch looks to Edel as she flicks the safety off her SMG once more, before glancing back up. Her voice low for edel. "If Zephyr... Then by contract, Twitch help survive. Rather not be fighting right now though... Think best we leave?" She raises an eyebrow.

Savi looks from Tama to Cookies, her eyes weary and nearly broken. "Cookies, please, if she attacks anyone on this team, would you be so kind as to show her what happened to Cinderella?" Moving out of the controll room Savi moves toward the stairs slowly. "We have what we came for, take your pride outside, we are not Zephyr, we are the US Hard Corps and this is about a lot more than bosses. This is about savinf the world." AT the bottom of the stairs Savi looks to Tama again. "Make your next choices carefully."

Edel flashes a smile to Twitch. "Of course. I made it for all of a violent mission -without- getting directly involved. No need to break that streak now." Lacking pockets, she settles for hooking her thumbs in her belt. With a nod to Savi, she begins speaking again, "Hopefully we got enough material to actually do some saving!"

Cookies scoffs, which quickly turns into a chuckle. "That's what you have to say to me, you shallow little self-indulgent broken-brained shit-wallowing inbred cunt-fuck? We may have just murdered a terrified couple. For all we know this was their little hideou, and we jammed in guns blazing and tore their fucking faces off." She unslings her nanite shotgun and brandishes it in Tama's general direction. "And you, you little shit, you little fucking /SHIT/!" she roars out ferociously, "You want to bitch at me about waaah, I made you have hurt feelings about some shit-face who isn't even here? I'm not even talkin' about them, sweetcheeks, I'm talkin' about you, Tweedle Dum, and your little friend Tweedle Dee, the corpse-defiling murderers. Animals. Vultures. No better than ferals. Worse. I think even ferals have the emotional fucking capacity to have sad feelings about an accidental murder."

Tama shifts into an oil baron again grabbing the generator "Give the body to Katalynia and appologize for your insolence, last chance before I blow this place sky high..." She grins derangedly.

Without another word Savi reaches up and pulls the mask from her face, opens her mouth and lets the full force of her own liquid latex breath fly directly at Tama. Knowing that generators, espicially long dead ones, do not explode like that and neither does loose oil.

Twitch is up in a flash, darting for cover behind the scrapped generator, dropping her SMG to her side and unslinging her rifle. A flash of her hand as she pulls back the slide cocking the rifle, before continuing on in her dash to the base of the stairs. No need to play it close by standing near the point zero if there is an explosion.

Tama rushes across the factory until shes under where the body is

Cookies does not utter one further word before she pulls the trigger on the 'shotgun'. What results is not the sound of a shell firing off, but a brief high pitched eletrical whine, nor is it the scatter of buckshot, but instead a high-yield energy beam so powerful the blast actually burns Cookies as she fires, leaving a good most of her front covered in ash and flame, not to mention nearly knocking her flat on her ass. If she got poor Cindy killed over a poor choice of wording she was most certainly not going to spare who she considered to be a vulture any manner of quarter, especially under such circumstances!

With the sudden crackle of energy and flash of light Lotus jumps a little, slowly realising she was still here at the powerplant watching such a straightforward mission get blown straight to hell. She blinks a few times and rubs her eyes, quietly confused about why everyone is so mad all of a sudden!

The explosions and gunfire did not go unnoticed and soon enough a mixture of Eureka law enforcement and Forward deployed USHC soldiers.

Having been listening as they quietly infiltrated the building expecting heavy chinese resistance, they were prepared to handle the situation accordingly as a trio of shield officers take the brunt of Cookie's blast whilst a number of soldiers fire tranq darts and quick hardening sedative foam over the oil baron and set about restraining and rolling her away.

"This dispute is OVER any further hostility or destruction of Eureka property will result in fines, detainment and blacklisting. Consider your business here complete and DEPART the premises!"

Whiping her mouth off once and turning to Cookies Savi looks up. "Cookies... did either of those men look like a Lou to you?" she says softly, ashamed at the violence Savi smils sadly at Edil as she passes. "Savi is going to go get very drunk... take care of that briefcase, the world needs it." With a brief glance at the others Savi recovers her face and leaves through the front door, pausing only to apologize to the security. "Sorry." she says, not stopping her stride.

Watching the whole debacle from the sidelines, Edel's only reaction when it was over was to clap slowly. "That took a turn for the weird. Goodness. As they said, though, our business here is done, and I'd like to get home! It was nice working with most of you." She gives a polite little bow and makes her way for the exit. "The results were unfortunate, but I hope you all stay safe."

Twitch reslings her rifle as the law enforcement and USHC show up, holding her hands up and moving to the entrance. "... Am thinking this Twitch's time to leave. Will be in Zephyr if needed, and am glad nobody hurt. Hope you find what needed Savi."

Cookies rolls about and gets herself patted off before she finally stands up, free of flame and still wiping ash from her visor, grumbling mildly about her intercepted shot. She REALLY wanted to atomize her. "Throw THAT away and never let it out," she grumbles in the general direction of Tama. With that she volunteers her nanomagic abilities to assist in repairs to the generator; she has a little making up to do, considering she probably very nearly fried it. That escalated quickly.
