There is a chirp on the individual common devices as a Zypher sends a mission down to the few on the list noted as being capable enough to survive a mission of this level of hazard. The mission reads as follows 'We have discovered a Nuclear power plant that is still giving off a variety of readings. We sent in a few sweepers to take care of the problem but none of them reported back. We have now decided to seen more experienced sweepers to handle this situation." The Message give direction to the abandoned powerplant. "We wish for you to meet up with others we have broadcasted this mission to outside of the plant. There are four of you assigned to this mission. Please becareful and eliminate all threat and recovering any sane sweepers of the previous mission if you can. There will be two promeathans joining you on this assignment be careful and respective to them. Zypher out..." The link is terminated with a soft crackle.

Upon his lovely bed down at the Red Court, Dio the formally-dressed silver lion sleeps atop his covers with his long legs hanging off the side. A rather odd time for someone to be sleeping. Upon receiving the message, Dio jolts awake from his cat nap and grumbles heavily. "Sounds exciting I suppose," he says while walking out the door and heading for the plant to meet up with the others.

Miranai recieves an unsual transmition over the zypher net and blinks a few times at it, "Support agents... in the... well ok." She turns around in the comm center and activates her bots, calling Tod, who yips back at her. She slings her newest weapon, still not field tested, but more powerful then anything she had made before. She does a full systems check as she walks along, running into Dio as she nears the plant, "Oh! Dio.. h.. how are you? I'm.. ment to be meeting some Zypher agents here." She says, bots following along with her.

Tiya had been relaxing on a break, idly messing with some skunk girls, sitting on top of a building and flicking pebbles at them. Either people need to make more messes for her to clean up, or the girl needs a real hobby. At the transmission she looks rather confused, unsed to receiving them before sighing and getting up. At least it would be something to do, she reasons, setting off down the stairs. Soon enough she arrives at the meeting place, jogging lightly in her maid's dress. She breaks into a grin as she sees the other pair, drawing to a halt in front of them and bowing. "Good afternoon mistress, master. Is this a job from mistress Kilsa, then?"

So after months in the field chasing fugitives, murders and overpowered ferals, they ask him to come back and play bug hunt with a side of bag and tag...Great. All the same Colonel Cerris Voss of the USMC always responds to calls for help, especialy if they are hard targets that could threaten the lives of the lingering 'American citizens' sane enough to be worth protecting.

Months in the bush have changed the soldier and if nothing else, he has started seperating beings into American citizens and American wildlife...and he is finding that he is /not/ a conservationist.  

His approach on the plant is a massive shadow, great wings and a seemingly endless body shrinking down from leviathine to make the effort of landing possible before gauging what size will be required for entry.  Carefully he circles the plant, picking out what details he may, tasting the air for blood and other bodily fluids in order to try and get a bead on biological emplacements that escape eagle eyes.  Finally pausing to climg to one of the exhaust stacks in order to have a aerial view without drawing as much attention to himself.  Thus when he spots a paired lion and vixen taur, he suspects he has found two of his contacts, when a horse maid moves in on them, he is certain of the scoop and releases from the stack into a measured glide, circling lower to land in a border around the trio, his greeting a gravelly hiss that shows he hasn't spoken out loud very often as of late.  

"Agents...greetings.  Colonel Voss here to lend you...variable support.  I have men on route to assist, so...please, let us get along."
 
The outside of the plant looks simple enough the billboard across the main door way can be read as Thompson Inc. Spider webs crisscross the various windows, There seems to be a feral skunk girl digging inside a dumpsters outside the bulding. As the group looks over the building there are three entrances that can accessed, A Truck entrance that is covered in webbing, The front door and the window which can be reached if the dumpsters with the skunkgirl in it is closed. She is currently chewing on a moldy bit of bread while looking at the strange group that is outside.
 
"Hmmm?" Dio was lost in his thoughts during his journey and didn't quite notice the fox taur approach him. Eventually, he turns around and spots Mira. "Oh," the lion stammers in slight surprise, "It's lovely to see you again, ma'am. It's been quite awhile hasn't it? As it just so happens, I was also summoned here for a job." Dio watches the mare jog up to them and gives a friendly wave in response. "Tiya too? How wonderful. Looking as lovely as ever. I'm not really sure that the mission originates from Kilsa." Eventually, the final man to their team enters his hat into the ring. Dio looks him over with a keen eye and a quirk of his brow. "A soldier, eh? Good to have you aboard. Please allow me to introduce myself. I go by the name of Dio and I look forward to working with you." 

Seems oddly silent for such a dangerous mission. However, Dio realized that letting their guard down might've been one of the first things the other sweepers managed to do before hopping off the grid. Dio points towards the front door with a large fuzzy paw. "Seems like that'd be the easiest way in, but probably the most foolish." The lion then shifts his arm gradually until he's pointing at the skunk girl. "Perhaps we should try peeking in through the window first? Intelligence is everything. However, if we scare that skunk girl she might cry out or what have you." Done pointing, Dio turns back towards the group and crosses his arms. "What do you talented individuals think?"
 
Miranai nods to Dio before she notices Tiya or Cerris, "Y.. yes.. it has been a while.." she looks around, her left eye softly glowing. "Umm... I'm not.. seeing any activity really, it isn't.. umm.  running." She says shyly, then she notices Tiya and Cerris, "U..mm T.Tiya, could you, call me Mira.. or.. umm just, not Mistress, ok? And, no, this is from.. umm.. Zypher themselves." She says. She tries to steel her nurves a bit and walks up to the main door slowly, cautious for traps. Checking over the door, handle, and archway she insures that there is nothing that will trip, trigger, or explode. She nods a bit, "ANd.. umm.. h.. Hi there.. Colonel... umm.. ok." She says. She opens up the door and orders her Shield Drone, GBX, into the building, using their linkup to look through its eyes as it walks in.
 
Tiya puts her head to the side at Miranai's reaction, mutely reaching out to hug the taur against her breast before releasing her. "Sure thing, Mira. Please don't be nervous," the mare says, seeming to be in something of a odd mood. At the entrance of the marine out of water, she turns towards him, mutely leaning close to him and sniffing at him, taking his scent. "'M Tiya. This is Mira and Dio, my betters," the maid explains before stepping back, letting the foxtaur handle things, mutely looking towards the skunk girl, staring at her, her head to the side, expression rather blank. Seems she's had enough fun with them today.
 
Cerris shifts his coils, the massive rainbow serpent uncoiling from around the group, his feathers giving off a candy-like spiced scent of masculinity pherimones and some sort of attraction poison.  Ruffling his wings and feathers he fans that scent toward the skunk girl as the tip of his tail produces a bag of rich-looking milk, vacuum sealed for freshness.  

"Come here girl...this will go nicely with that bread wont it?  And you look useful to me as a decoy...now come get some milk." 

To the others he applies more scrutiny, memorizing names before he says simply.  

"I'd rather the majority of us stick together, but please, feel free to investigate all avenues of approach while I remove our little potential alarm.  I'll send my team to investigate the loading dock upon arrival...ah yes, here they come now."  

True to word, a number of camo-clad soldiers arrive..granted some of them are only wearing camo-bikinis due to their mutations, but they are all showing discipplined martial status regardless of their form and instincts.
 
GBX's Exploration is reveal that the area is filled with nothing but spider webs and a thick oily black chemical pool that covers the floor over three feet deep. THere are a few man made walk ways that lead in deeper into the plant. GBX cannot see anything out of the ordinary that would be considered a hostile. 
The skunkgirl sniffles and smells the candy scented serpent, The skunk girl is not very afraid as she approaches the group and keep her head low. She look at Cerris  and opens her mouth while pointed in it. She doesn't seem very agress and is very skinny for a a feral. "Food..?" She askeds nervously keeping her head low and her tail raised. The only clothing she has is a pair of Hazmat book that her foot has slightly ripped through.  
The camo clad soldiers go to check the loading dock as they clear away the web the door busts open as a series of of tentacles reaches out and grips Apone, Vasquez and Hicks dragging them inside. Ripley manages to dodge the many vicious tentacles aiming for her before they retract. The tentacles withdraw before a thick green flim coats the tentcales retreat.
 
Dio watches Mira check the door with a bit of a worried expression. He wasn't sure something would just instantly blow up, but everything seemed to check out so far. Still, he couldn't help but be continuously suspicious about the odd silence. As the taur sends in a drone to investigate, Dio gives her a nod of approval. "A drone? Smart thinking, ma'am." Suddenly, Dio's senses pickup the sounds and scents of new visitors. The lion turns around and soon finds himself faced with an additional four members. "I agree," Dio says to the Colonel with a nod. "We'll gather all the information we possibly can before heading inside." 

Dio would have loved to react to the poor little skunk feral, but something much more important caught his attention. The sound of a door busting down flow through his ears and he instantly turns around to the supposed origin. Tentacles briefly flash though his vision. "Oh... Well shit..." he says under his breath. "We need to get your men back before they end up like the other sweepers. We could charge in after that... Whatever it was or we could go through the front and try to find a way to sneak up on it. Splitting up is also an option, but it might thin our ranks a little." Dio pauses shortly and points towards the front entrance. "I personally want to head thought he front, but I can understand if you want to immediately follow that beast, Colonel."
 
Miranai looks though GBX's eyes and doesn't see anything nor hear anything really, and was about to head in after, when the skunk girl comes down and utters a single word 'Food'. She looks over the skunk and seems saddened so she shrugs off her pack and digs through it a moment, eventually pulling out an MRE opening it up and passing it over to her, "Here you go... umm.. it might not taste lake much.. but it is healthy.. and sometimes has a good treat." She says, that is when she yips outin sudden surprise at the military personal getting sweeped into the building! She whimpers a bit and looks to Cerris, "Umm.... M.. Mr. Voss? Umm.." She looks around before patting the skunk girl on the head, "Eat.. eat up... umm.. I'm going to take.. a .. a better look, I'm still getting nothing on GBX's camaras." She says as she cautiously enters though the main door, still looking around carefully for any traps or triggers.
 
Tiya frowns a little at the scent coming from the marine, her head on the side, but almost certainly too large to be affected by the snake's smell. At the handing over of the MRE, the horse seems a little jealous, her eyes glittering before the noise of the tentacle attack draws her attention away. The horse trots over to the prone soldier, poking him with her hoof before starting towards the loading bay herself, plainly curious, a certain loosening of the muscles making her intentions obvious.  The shemale doesn't say a word to her companions, they seemed busy with the skunk, and this thing looked a lot more fun. She can meet up with them later.
 
Cerris handles things with rather amazing calm considering the ongoings: Using his fangs he pierces the milk bag, stealthily injecting his narcotic into it under the guise of ripping it open enough to squeeze into the skunk's mouth, repeating the word "Food" and adding "Be good, get more."  

Very good, she can talk and think, that makes her not a disposable animal, instead she is a citizen to be sedated, and questioned before taking into custody.  Granted, when his team gets snatched, he responds swiftly as a field officer should, his coils releasing the milk to the skunk as his swings spread to take him off the ground, his voice a booming command. 

"L-T, enter the door and keep eyes on the target, but stay out of range until you are certain you can attack safely, I'm coming to lend assist.  Dio, stick with Mira and it'd be nice if someone could get some recon through that window now."  

That said, the forever serpent is launching toward the advent his troops went in, slithering if his wings cant carry him through the portal.  As for the wall of slime, a gale force blast of wind from those beating wings should clear the way, Cause bulky or not, he doubts the horse is just gonna walk through the slime and if that was the plan, it was a bad one that he removes before plunging forward, preparing to increase his size so that he can take on this slime kraken or whatever it is.
 
The skunk happily tears into the MRE and begins to each all of its contents. A little bottle of hot sauce catches the girls attention who opens it and drink it down before eating the more. "Hot.. Hot..." She sniffles and takes the milk from Cerris and drinks it down happy. "Friends?" She asked curiously sniffing the group and paying little interest in the kidnapped members of Cerris' group. 

Lt. Ripley  enters the door  but there is a hallway filled with green liquid as the tentacles can be seen turning down a hall way. The sound of gurguling. As Tiya make her way with the lt and Cerris they come to deep depression of  in the room and dozens of green eggs attatched to the walls and floor and a hole leading even deeper inside.  

Miranai is in a room that is filled with black liquid there is a door across the cat walk that says, 'Please whip your free before coming inside and don't feed the reactor.' The door across from the catwalk seems to be half melt and the sound of heavy breathing is heard along with very light cursing.
