The light faded as the sun started to sink behind the hill that the Village was sitting on, casting the place in an eriee twilight as the Villagers prepare along side the RSX and Promethean helpers. What little fortifications the farming community could put up strewn across the streets, the villagers themselves reading what they can find to arm themselves with as the RSX officer walks up to the Village Leader. "Zephyr will be attacking at any moment, lets just hope a few operatives respond to the call."
<Space>
While out in the woods the Zephyr forces gather, checking equipment, dawning body armor as the commander speaks. "On my command we attack."
Cookies shows up in her relatively bulky artillery suit. She stalks her way up to the meager fortifications and grunts... First things first, she reports to her commanding officer. She does a flash of her RSX operative badge and a salute. "Sir. I am carrying high-powered or otherwise volatile weaponry, sir, and I'd like to make sure it stays pointed wherever the server /isn't/, sir- in the best interests of everyone involved. Helps to know what we're guarding, too. Where is the server being secured?"
Fenris stands waiting for the inevitable attack. "Stupid Zephyr," he mutters under his breath. He had been part of the group that scouted this place for Zephyr. He sincerely hopes that none of the villagers realize that. It was shameful that the corporation felt like they could take what they wanted. The (most of the time) tiger doesn't mind helping them acquire resources from mad ferals who can't use them, but this was a peaceful village of PEOPLE, not the wild animals they had told him were here. Fenris secures his long coat and preps his weapons. The server isn't so important to him, but he WILL protect the people he helped endanger. Even if they are mostly dogs.
Having arrived with her pair of 'pets', the loyal attack plant Billy, and the brainless walking shield Bob, Savi looks over the battle field outside of the forested area. Prepping her large bladed canon, she sighs softly. Looking toward her teamate for guidance, she turns to face the comming battle with a worried look burried beneath her combat gear. Petting the little billy at her side, Savi closes her eyes. For the first time in public, the little plant taps into her earthen affinity and begins to grow. Becoming the not-so-little plant. Knowing in her heart what she must do, she knows only Edels presence on the battle field stops her from it, forced to protect her group-mates first and formost. A long standing order than cannot be broken. Looking between the sides carefully, Savi waits as she finishes her transformation.
After some climbing exercises, Skade has finally reached her position, as high up as she could possibly get, looking out towards the forest. Her trusty long-range gauss rifle set up in a sniping position. She's quite covered in various technical devices to help her get an edge on the various mutants. Targeting HUD displays, nanite-reinforced light armour.. you name it! As well as her trusty automatic guns in case things get up close and personal. Bending her microphone towards her mouth she opens a com-channel to the RSX-operatives below "Sniper in place. Should I just.. open fire at anything that moves?" she asks over the radio.
Chance frowns as he climbs down from the transport, his left paw grabs hold of his baseball bat as he looks aound, at the area, still not quite used to this form. The rat, no wait tigre now, walks forwards towards the CO. He's geared up lightly showing he prefers to be a scout, and runner, rather then a straight out fighter. He salutes the C.O. in a manner showing his civilian nature, and turns when allowed, trying very hard to keep hs nervousness in check, he moves to what seems the best spot to have a fast moving, and hopefully fast reacting sort.
Edel is on site, arms folded after taking a moment to adjust her glasses. "Let's hope nothing gets violent, hmm?" Lending to her point, her weapons remain sheathed.
CaseyRune is standing outside the town, flexing their pyrokenisis in one hand, the other holding their .45 USP stareing out into the darkness where the Zephyr agents were hiding. Listening to their comrades set up behind them only tells them one thing, if this defense falls, it will be a bloodbath and that's not going to happen. It was an innocent farming village, it doesn't matter who Zephyr think they are, they have no right exicuting civilians. Casey lets them know as much, "Leave now Zephyr. If you do, you leave with your agents. Attack and I will kill you. This is your last warning." They're already prepared for the battle, anyone near Casey would feel the air around them quickly growing rather hot, as if a bonfire had been lit nearby. There will be no civilian casulties on their watch.
"Server is being secured in the town hall Miss, so as long as your artillery doesn't hit friendlies it should be fine." States a Collie as shi walks up to the group, the leader of the Prommies that came here. "Well, Villagers are in place. But I don't think they will be much help, they are poorly armed and I didn't get much time to teach them how to use their powers before we realized an attack was coming." The RSX operative, a black panther, responds to Skade, pressing the mike on his com-unit as he speaks "Anything that moves that isn't us is open game." Chance gets a nod in response to his saulte, the feline eyeing the tiger a bit before he turns to the others. "Thank you all for coming, lets just hope that Zephyr isn't foolish enough to attack."
CaseyRune's threat is met with utter silence as the rest of the Zephyr strike force finishes arming up, the commander giving a low growl as he looks over the Village. "When I give the signal we attack."
Cookies gives the others one last salute. What a patriot, eh? Eh? True American spirit! "I'll ensure the hall is... well, at least twice as secure as the rest of this dump. No offense, but the board-and-nail method only does one so much good," she murmurs to the promethean before making her way to the hall. She knocks at the door a few times with the butt of her shotgun. "Excuse me, in there? Zephyr will be coming to tear down the walls any minute. I'm here to provide additional support and reinforcement for the barricade, if that's alright," she speaks in soft tones. "I have some spare heavy-duty weapons out here. I don't have enough arms to fire all these myself anyways."
Fenris focuses his attention briefly on the nanites around him creating an illusory haze around his position. He won't be much use until the Zephyr operatives get in to close combats, best not to make himself a target. Besides, there might still be a way to avoid combat all together. Zephyr just has to see that this trip isn't worth their resources. There might be an idea there. Fenris hurries back to find Clair, the collie heading up the Promethean side of this mission.
Savi looks at the group around her and slides her mass back, allowing the Zephyr agents to take the lead. Marking Edel's position, Savi makes up her mind, with a soft whisper towards the leader of the Zephyr assualt, Savi gently intones "Send in the soldiers, at that point Savi will step in with shock and awe, trust Savi. This will work." Crouching low, the plant reaches behind her with two sets of two vines, each pair grasping around the base of a large tree. With the both trees gripped firmly, Savi tenses her entire body. Ready to put her plan into action and end this battle quickly and with as little civilian life lost as possible. With a look toward the town Zeph is about to assualt, Savi whispers to herself... "I'm so sorry..."
