The agents who decided to heed the call are pointed towards Zephyr Tower's helipad. There is really nothing of interest here except for Mike leaning on his helicopter and a familiar kemonopoodle to some, standing tall as their habit. The two individuals seem to be satisfied with remaining silent as they wait for all the agents to assemble.
Fenris trots happily across the rooftop. "Hiya, Mike!" the tanuki calls across the roof, "What's up?" The big guy stops by the helicopter, smiling. "And hello to you too, Mister Poodle!" he says as he reaches into his long coat to produve a paper bag of peanuts. "Peanut?" he offers, munching on a handfull.
Redd grins at the poodle, "Can I claim this is my favor to you from a while back?" He snickers, and prods the Tanuki, "Could you not have peanuts out? I'm allergic to them, and while nanites would keep me alive, I don't think it'll stop me from being miserable because of it."
"Really? Peanuts?" Edel peers at Redd from over her glasses before snorting and pushing them along her muzzle. She'll have to remember that for later. For now, she steps close, dressed... In her typically regal and extravagant outfit, with a black parasol held over her head to ward off rain.
The gator looks over at Fenris. "Peanuts, ay? Mind if I have one?" Arris smiles at Fenris, leaning towards the Tanuki a little. "I wouldn't mind a little snack right now, to be honest. I've had a small lunch."
Willyswift brushes back his fluffy fur as the Arctic fox checks what materials he has for his equipment. Satisfied he looks up to the poodle and prepares to listen in.
Stepping out towards the helipad comes an actual human, clad in an unzipped ebony hoodie that has the hood up to protect him from the current rain. Along his belt on the left is a rather strange blue colored beta C-mag that thumps against his leg that has a rather large blue tipped bullet faintly visible at the top, alongside the one clipped into his assault rifle that is strapped to his back. On the other side of his waist is a Void Totem that dangles from a simple, yet thick string. Waving a hand towards the group, he smiles from beneath the hoodie as he opens his arms. "The rain is fitting today, huh?" The silver eyed human asks, nodding towards Mike before he stands at attention with his hands at his sides. He seems a bit... Overprepared. Maybe he is expecting a harsh fight? Given they can see that he has an armored vest beneath his hoodie that has a ominous cyan glow as well, that is probably a yes.
As the group assembles the human with draping poodle ears eyes Redd, "Not a chance. You will be generously rewarded for this mission and it does not fall under my definition of a returned favour." Rokarion says with a smirk, "You still owe me one." He waves a dismissive hand at Fenris, "Thank you, but I don't eat during work." He answered with an apologetic smile.
The moment everyone appears ready, Rokarion assumes his cold, professional demeanor, "Very well, thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming on such a short notice." He says in a neutral tone, "The task at hand is going to take you to the east of here, outside the Fairhaven bubble. We lost contact with the laboratory around a month or so ago." The poodle continues, fingers steepled as he looks around, "Do not worry; the lab was merely focusing on plant research, mainly crop growth and the like. Recent scouting reports indicate that the reason of the loss of communication was because the lab was overran by ferals." The canine adds as he opens the helicopters door and motions the agents inside, "Your mission is simple, we need you to recover the research notes as well as any uncontaminated seeds inside the building. You can deal with the ferals as you see fit here. Ah, also another thing of note, the lab had its own regulation miniserver, so the place has its own 'bubble' so to speak. Any questions?"
Fenris takes another handful of peanuts, then hands the bag over to Arris, smiling through the rain deipping from his wide, bamboo hat. "Research notes and seeds," he confirms happily, "Yep! Got it!" With his assignment explained to the extent that the tanuki feels he needs, the hefty canid clambors into the helicopter, claiming the seat by the pilot. "Shotgun!" he calls out as he pits on his seat belt.
"Yeah, I've had the allergy since childhood. Turns out nanites can't cure allergies." The coyote shrugs, and climbs into the helicopter. "I'm ready whenever ya'll are."
"I wonder what would happen if I was allergic to dogs," Edel muses off-handedly as she approaches the helicopter, hopping in and closing her umbrella with a practiced motion. The tiny dog lady clambers up into a seat and makes sures she's properly secured before giving a wag of her tail. "I am ready!"
Arris nods. "Thanks." Sie wipes some of the water from hir clothes and skin before climbing into the helicopter, before looking back at Rokarion. "Oh, how can we tell what seeds are uncontaminated?"
Willyswift looks up to the poodle as he starts to get in and asks, ''what sort of ferals were present...and would fire based equipment be of any risk in use with what the lab was working on?''
Anbessa rests his hands at his sides as he listens to the briefing, glancing between the others while it goes on... Though at the end, he does raise a gloved hand. "How will we know i-" He pauses as Arris asks the question he was going to, though he shrugs and nods his head before returning his attention to the poodle. "Just any of them still clean looking, or ones that are still in whatever container they belong in?" Anbessa asks as he steps up towards the helicopter. Though he does turn his attention over towards Edel as he lets out a light chuckle. "It would probably be horrible to live in Fairhaven. Huskies around every corner. And all of the dog hair!" Though he does turn his attention towards Willy as he hears the fox. "I'd bet making the seeds roasted would be good, so fire should probably be used in moderation, right?" He asks, looking to Rokarion for confirmation as he gets into his seat, leaning forward a bit due to his bulky rifle on his back.
Mike gets into the helicopter as the team starts boarding the flying beast. "Yes, do keep collateral damage to a minimum." Rokarion says as he looks at the three beings asking questions, "And the seeds will most likely still be in the stockrooms and they will be in glass containers. Any seeds that have been germinated or exposed to the air are useless to us right now. Anything else or shall you gents depart?"
Fenris does not answer directly, but starts to loudly sing "The Ride of the Valkyries" as he sits in the front if the chopper wearing a headset that he has found somewhere while waving his ornate spear over his head. Looks like he is ready to fly.
Willyswift chuckles a little at Fenris' singing as he settles in his seat as the chopper journies on
"I'm fine to go," Edel repeats, her sword laid across her lap as she tugs her revolver from within her robe to make sure it is ready and loaded. "And keeping collateral down is something I'm good at!" Though Redd had proven to be... Less so.
Arris drops down into one of the seats in the chopper. "I'm good now." Arris starts munching from the bag of peanuts, as well as pulling out a jar of swirling liquid and drinking from it.
Willyswift as he sits there he pulls put out an aerosol can and checks it over looking at the lighter extension he had made for it.
Anbessa nods his head towards Rokarion as his fingers drum at his lap. "Alright then. I'm ready." The human rests his elbows on his legs as he sits leaning forward, glancing between the others before his gaze rests on the sword on Edel's lap. Safe to guess he is curious about everyone's equipment, though he stays quiet either way... Especially Willy's gear, which earns a raised eyebrow from the human and a momentary scoot a bit further from them. Glancing towards Fenris, he cannot help but chuckle and smile at the familiar tune as he faintly hums it along with 'em.
Rokarion closes the helicopter's doors and heads back into the building as Mike lifts up the helicopter off the pad, joining Fenris in singing the familiar song. It takes around four hours before the group has finally reached their destination. Mike slowly lowers down the vehicle on what looks like an abandoned refueling station a couple of hundred of meters away of the building. The doors of the helicopters open and Mike gestures to the group outside, "Ok, I will be coming back in three hours or so, good luck." He says before letting the group disembark.
Willyswift works on the lighter as the fligbt continued but finds he cannot shut it off easily and decides
Fenris leaps from the chopper, almost before it touches down. "Thanks, Mike!" the tubby tanuki cries as he dashes off toward the building, spear in hand, splashing a bit in puddles left by the rain. "Adventure!" he cries, heading straight for the open double doors, eyes scanning fir possible threats, despite his carefree charge and attitude.
Edel spent the flight snoozing, her hat tipped down over her eyes. She had little concern in flight, having been on so many by now. And only once... Maybe -twice- tops had there ever been an issue. When it arrives, though, she snorts and adjusts her glasses, slipping out of the helicopter after Fenris.
Arris ate the rest of the peanuts and drank half of the jar during the flight, and slept for the rest of it. When the chopper begins to land, Arris climbs out of it and drops down a second before Fenris, but sie doesn't run straight to the building.
Willyswift to make a mental note to be careful. Leaving the help he grunts as his groin and now enlarged balls tries to mess with his head but he dismisses such thoughts as best he can and does a careful first look of the area.
Anbessa, for the most part, stayed still and silent after the song was over, his eyes gazing out the window as they went. When they start landing and the doors open, he lets out a light, faintly relived sigh as he nods towards Mike... Though his attention is drawn back towards Fenris as he lets out a soft, annoyed sigh. "At least they know they have visitors now..." Anbessa quips as he steps out of the helicopter, his boots thumping against the wet ground as he moves his rifle off of his back and into his arms, flicking off the safety as he walks after Fenris.
Being the first one in the passenger compartment of a helicopter is a pain, it means you've got to be the last one out. "Gah, remind me to never sit in the back of a flight." Redd stretches a bit on getting out of the helicopter, feeling somewhat underprepared with only a sixshooter. Though, that was generally more than enough out of a bubble...
As the group disembarks, Fenris's charge certainly did not go unnoticed. When he reaches almost 50 meters from the building, two beings charge out of the door in front of them. The creatures, a bunny boy and a bunny girl as it appears, both clad in tattered 'loincloth' and wielding clubs in their hands as they charge the chubby tanuki, screaming all the way.
Fenris screams back at the charging bunnies, lowering his spear and picking up his pace, his warcry going before him! Then, at the last possible moment, the tanuki digs his spear into the ground and vaults as high as he can, tucking into a front flip to land beyond the enraged bunnies and continue his charge for the door, still shouting his battle cry!
Redd shakes his head, "You know, it's probably easier to deal with em outside than in the corridors!" He shouts after Fenris, before walking up to the bunnies at a walk.
Edel wanders forward a little more, hand rested on her sword's hilt, ready to draw. She's not about to act first, though. She'll wait for them to come for her, or try to negotiate with them if they don't!
"The door probably locked behind em!" Redd adds as an afterthought.
Arris whips a small jar at the bunnies. It hits about between them, covering most of them with the sticky liquid and creating a spray of sharp glass shards. Arris then draws a rapier before carefully approaching the bunnies.
Anbessa raises an eyebrow as his fingers drum at his rifle. While shooting them would probably work, it would be a bit overkill with his loadout. Lowering his rifle, he fishes into his pocket momentarily to fish out a small combat knife, gripping that in his now free hand as the other one lets the barrel of his rifle aim towards the ground as he follows behind Redd. Save the big guns for the big ones.
Fenris's acrobatic flip is pulled off rather well, the tanuki bypassing the two bunnies and landing beyond them, the landing was not the most well executed one, but hey! He is still running along and nothing but the door is in front of him.
The two bunnies stop for a second, confused by just what happened, but before they can react, Arris's bombs comes flying towards them. . .and then past them, exploding harmlessly at the building's wall. This however causes the two bunnies to growl and continue their charge at the rest of the group, trying to close the distance as quickly as possible.
Fenris ducks into the building, a happy smile on his face as he rolls past the door and looks around. He is here to collect seeds, not fight bunnies. The others can handle them, he is sure. Bunnies are cute and cuddly, right? The tanuki keeps his spear at the ready and looks around.
The coyote holds up his arms towards the lapines to show he's not holding anything, "I can't speak for the gator back there, but I haven't any intent to hurt ya'll. We're just supposed to get something that was left inside the storeroom. Would you mind if we did that?" Redd glares over his shoulder at Arris, more than a little annoyed.
Edel remains quiet, holding her ready stance. If Redd's attempts to sway them work, fantastic. Otherwise, she'll be ready. But until either outcome becomes clear, she's got nothing to do but wait and see.
Arris rolls hir eyes and backs off, letting Redd do the work. "Jeez, don't look at me like that. When something is charging at you with a club and a growl, you would be pretty startled too."
Willyswift steps up to the others but for the moment let's Redd attempt to take care of the situation. he keeps one eye tho for threatening motion.
