(Kishea) Kishea would be looking at a map on the table in front of her as she was waiting for the group to arrive in the comms center, it seems she changed her form to some kind of succubi dragon devil chimera and she was wearing heavy military armor. As she hears knocking on the door she would turn around and tell the group to come in.
(Ysadora) Ysadora glides in, wearing not much beyond her usual white robe and a messenger bag with a pink skull on it. She waves to Kishea as she enters, pulling apart her curtain of hair to reveal a friendly smile. "Hey Kishea! Already making use of the comms center, huh? A few of our guys, gals, and others fixed this up just the other day." Head floating just a few centimeters above her shoulders, Ysadora swivels this way and that to admire the restored room. "You haven't seen Gremlin, have you? Eh, I'm sure he's around here somewhere. Anyway, I'm ready for this salvage mission you mentioned! Never been that far outside Eureka beforejust xciting!" With that, she hovers off the side of the room to wait for the others of the group to arrive.
(Junes) Junes went in from the doorway and waved to the two, the chimeric hissah's tails waving with anticipation "hey! good see you guys" looking more at kishea in realization "looking cool!" taking a seat nearby and waiting on the rest of the group to arrive waiting to greet them
(Sensuen) Sensuen hasn't changed her form, nor really prepared all that much for what she has been lead to believe was a scavenging mission, so she shouldn't exactly need anything all that different from her usual gear. Sensuen can't help but think that maybe her and Ysadora's messenger bags might not have the space to carry back much salvage at once, though being an arachne outside of a nanite bubble isn't such a good idea. Sensuen looks over to Junes and says, "Hey there. Long time, no see I guess? How are things?" though she ends up looking sorta between Kishea and Junes with that question, as though she addressed it to them both.
(Ysadora's mercenary) <Mercenary Arrival> Ysadora's mercenary rushes into the area, ready to lend a hand!
(Junes's mercenary) <Mercenary Arrival> Junes's mercenary rushes into the area, ready to lend a hand!
(Willy's mercenary) <Mercenary Arrival> Willy's mercenary rushes into the area, ready to lend a hand!
(Kishea's mercenary) <Mercenary Arrival> Kishea's mercenary rushes into the area, ready to lend a hand!
(Janice's mercenary) <Mercenary Arrival> Janice's mercenary rushes into the area, ready to lend a hand!
(Isabelle) Isabelle walks to the comm center in her armor, spear, and shield. Her footfalls can be hear from miles around as they give off slight tremors. She approaches the building seeing some activity and kneels down to try and communicate with anyone.
(Aeriel's mercenary) <Mercenary Arrival> Aeriel's mercenary rushes into the area, ready to lend a hand!
(Umeko) Umeko showed up with her the military-esque camoflagued gear that she usually wore when doing things outside of the city. Most of her body was covered by the relatively light but extra protective clothing and she brought along a modified assault rifle as well as a myriad of other gear in her pack and on her person. She gave a wave to the others before stretching a bit.
(Janice) Sticking close to Junes as they arrived, Janice followed in silently with some cautious staring about the comms room. She stays close to the individual that brought her here, that being Junes. Thinking to herself 'I'll learn, I'll understand, soon enough.'
(Willy) As the others are coming in, a Teal colored(familiar to Junes) Tiger Shark ambles into the room with a smile, walking with a slight strut and show of Equipment and "Goods". The Shark smiles as they reach there place in the office "Reporting for the Salvage mission" they say in a masculine voice, which Junes (and anyone else that might know me) would recognize as Willy.
(Kishea) Kishea would nod to the group and smile before motioning to everyone to come closer. "Seems like everyones ready and excited for this, good! Now fortunately we got at least 2 vehicles, my humvee that i will need to find another because im not a 40 feet long snake anymore, and Umeko's RV, otherwise we would be gone for months. Now it'll only be between 2 weeks and a month depending on how things goes, hopefully we wont get into too much troubles." The chimera would turn toward the giant human outside "Although, uh will you be fine outside the nanites area of influence and you think you light enough to not destroy my humvee by sitting on top of it?" She would ask Isabelle.
(Ysadora) Ysadora starts in momentary shock as she sees the enormous mutant standing outside their bunker. She recovers after a moment, shaking her head. "And I thought Worrish was big..." With a wave to the others, she brightly introduces herself. "There's some faces I don't know here, so I'm Ysadora. I'm part of the Bunker project, and work for the Embassy and RSX too. Pleased to meet ya." Ysadora checks over her equipment one last time before finally responding to Kishea. "Uh, I'll ride with Umeko if she'll have me. We're good friends already."
(Junes) Junes would wave to sensuen and umeko, look to willy recognizing the colors and realizing with a wave as well before smiling seeing janice with a tailwave "hey! good to see you all!" seeing the large human they looked a bit surprised but waved as well "quite a journey but im excited to take it! and once we get going im sure we can all catch up" rolling their arms around in a stretch emphasizing the unusual open sweater and leaning down touching the bottom of their tights being sure to get limber for whats ahead "so what's the plan anyways?"
(Junes) Junes realized with a nod and introduced themselves as well "oh right, im junes! im pretty big into fishing and going on expeditions or relaxing with some music or games"
(Kishea) Kishea would do a click sound in slight annoyance as she grab a cigar pack from her pocket to grab a cigar before putting the small carton back into her pocket. She would light it up and start smoking. "Sorry, trying to be less horny, this stuff is like a nicotine patch but for libido."
(Isabelle) Isabelle taps her head while unfurling her wings. "I think I can manage out here and I should be able to follow along in flight. I've already activated Regulation Nanomagic on my NICE unit."
(Willy) Willy nods to this "This is definitly a long mission. Will keep in mind, and the note on nanites" he says "Not that I think that should be an issue at all." he says, waiting for more information on the mission as he thinks about a few things, his tail whipping and flitting a little.
(Sensuen) Sensuen nods to Willy and listens for more information on the upcoming mission, it's at least good that they have 2 vehicles, not only does it shorten the trip, it means they can bring more gear in as an answer to any problems along the way. Sen's equipment is at least in working order, what she kept on her anyway.
(Umeko) Umeko nodded to Ysadora, "Yeah, I've got some room to hold a fair number of people comfortably, maybe like 5 average human sized ones? We could go higher but it'd mean people would have to stand or sit on the floor, or maybe the bed or something... Got room for somebody who wants to ride shotgun, a couch, and two foldaway seats. If you want to ride first class we've got entertainment in the form of old movies and shows on the TV, a kitchen with plenty of food and drinks, bathroom and shower... Though we can take a pit stop if anyone in the other vehicle needs something or wants to settle down to eat on the way or whatnot." "Also I'm Umeko, it's nice to meet you all! I know some of you already but lots of new faces too. I usually do a lot of scavenging out here and made an RV to help with it, so we should be fine getting there and back. Even has some built in security as long as we're inside or near it!"
(Janice) 'The Bunker project, salvage mission. . .' They think to themselves, scratching their head as they get context to jog her memory. Groggy morning. 'Oh right. Introductions, Introd- Can't speak. Uhh. .' Janice waves to each person individually, tapping Junes shoulder, Being the way she is. It's unfortunate she has to rely on other for her voice.
(Kishea) Kishea would roll the map then put it in a tube before putting it in her backpack. "Lets walk to the garage, ill tell more about the mission on the way." everyone would leave the room with the chimera. "Last time i was at that comms center was about a year ago, its in a abandoned military compound. I almost lost a leg there, its a minefield around the compound, not to worry i have another map of the compound i made myself with a sade route to the comms, but just in case ill still bring the stuff to deactivate mines, shouldnt need it but better safe than sorry! It should still be unhabited since the gear needed to take care of all that is very hard to get nowadays. The worse is just gonna be getting there. Once inside the compound we will still need to be careful, since there might be more traps around. Im not much experienced on comms other than radio or morse codes but im sure we can figure it out so im not worried about it.
(Willy) Willy Willy nods soft and makes some mental notes, before smiling with a toothy grin. "Will keep that all in mine, and I don't think I'll worry on the trip up. We have good pilots for the cars right?" he says with a slightly uneasy expression.
(Ysadora) Ysadora follows along as Kishea speaks. "A minefield, huh? And other traps?" She looks down at her own feet, hovering just above the floor. "I wonder if a ghost would trip any of that? I don't really want to find out." A satisfied smile dances across her face as they pass through the refurbished halls of the bunker. "If we can fix this place up, I'm sure we can do the same for this other comms center once it's safe. And I call shotgun, Umeko!"
(Junes) Junes looked a bit worried hearing about the mines but soon laughed hearing what willy said, nodding and patting janice before mentioning to umeko "oh and i can save on quite a bit of room there too" sitting up they joined the group
(Sensuen) Sensuen says, "I've, kinda gotten into lockpicking, but then that's mainly through mutant powers, so I don't entirely know how much use I could be at disarming landmines. Hmm, how far underground should they be? If the area has been abandoned, would we be able to smell them?" remembering faintly that some sort of rats were used to sniff out landmines back in the day, but that could very well have been because the rats were so short and low to the ground, which they aren't.
(Umeko) Umeko rubbed her chin a bit, "Hmmm... I feel like there's way less dangerous ways to get parts for a communications system, even if it means replacing the old stuff... Still, I would be lying if I said the place didn't intrigue me, might find some other interesting stuff while we're at it. Maybe some genuine vintage military gear as a souvenier at the very least..." "I wonder how well metal detectors will work for mines, probably want to avoid them even with other precautions to try and disable them. In a worst case scenario I've got an emergency medbot, medical nanomagic, and a stock of supplies just in case too..."
(Isabelle) Isabelle nods at the group and takes off into the sky. Isabelle maintains a circling pattern, waiting for the group to take off.
(Kishea) Kishea would open the garage door and get in her Humvee. "If you want to be comfortable i suggest everyone goes in the RV with Umeko, we will be able to communicate via the cars radio as for isabelle, well i think we will be able to hear her just fine if she talk loudly haha!" Kishea would start up her Humvee.
(Ysadora) Ysadora hops in Umeko's RV. "Road trip!" she enthuses.
(Junes) Junes nodded to sensuen "oh! i have some ways of helping there i think but for now, road trip!" seeing the familiar RV they hopped up and into it making their way to the table and sitting there "oh yeah umeko, got any new stuff to watch besides chef stuff? i dont mind at all but you cant beat a good movie"
(Umeko) Umeko hopped on in and made herself comfortable in the driver's seat and invited Ysadora sit up front as well. From there she had access to a screen hooked up to the turret drone's camera on the roof, along with a keyboard to control it and rotate it around and such. "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable, there's movies on the computer back there but the controller can just skip through the different files. We should really go looking for some more DVDs sometime though!"
(Sensuen) Sensuen nods back to Junes and says, "At least I'm not exactly alone here, but, true, road trip, and I guess hope everything turns out okay." though she could possibly use some tips for making a set of lockpicks from Junes on the way there, mainly advice on handles for them, if any are even needed.
(Willy) Willy nods and hops his way into the Humvee, tucking his tail on to his lap with a smile and prepraring for the journey ahead, making sure his equipment like his Thunder Stick and his layered armor are in good shape.
(Kishea) Kishea would take the lead with her car after everyone get into either her Humvee or Umeko's RV. The group would stop once in a while to eat and sleep, Kishea taking up guard duty every day as she doesnt need much sleep to be energic again. Days goes by as the group goes on this road trip and then days turned into a week. Kishea would use the radio to communicate with the RV. "We should be only a day or two away from the military compound, lets stop here for the night, im hella hungry!"
(Ysadora) Ysadora yawns, having spent much of the trip napping, reading, or fiddling with her occult gear. When Kishea's message comes through, she perks up and presses her face to the window. "Where are we stopping? One of those roadside attractions? World's biggest rubber band ball? A giant statue of Paul Bunyan?
(Junes) Junes fiddles with things, chatting with everyone or watching the scenery as they make their way and thought of the landsmarks and whether they survived hearing ysadora
(Sensuen) Sensuen seems to be awake for the hours that Kishea is asleep, so the guard shift seems covered well enough and nothing too untoward seems to happen. Sensuen just listens to the radio and asks, "So now I need that spade? Great, I didn't think I'd, need, aw crap, digging . . . or hopefully someone else brought their own?" mostly to herself. Sensuen then asks, more seriously this time. "Uh, so, like, where did you say this outpost thingy was? I either forgot or didn't read too much into the comms messages."
(Umeko) Umeko found a nice big open area to pull over at and used the mounted drone's camera to scan the area for any potential signs of feral mutants or whatnot. Finding it suitable parked the RV and went over to the kitchen area pull out some food from the fridge to make some dinner for everyone, beckoning Junes over if they wanted to help. The kitchen was pretty well stocked and there was always culinary nanomagic as well if an ingredient was missing. "I don't think we're anywhere particularly special right now, but I wonder if that giant rubber band ball might explode or something if the nanites chewed away over it and it started to snap apart..."
(Willy) Willy pops out of the Humvee with a peak of curiosity and a big row of sharp teeth "Hungry...what like their is a food stop alive out here?" he says as he peeksm out curiousity from the edge of the Humvee with a whip of the tail.
(Kishea) Kishea would grin and chuckle "Of course not you silly! We can either hunt or just eat MRE's while chatting in Umeko's RV. Play some cards games or something" she would then turn to the radio. "How about it guys?"
(Ysadora) Ysadora widens her eyes. "Hunt? This is a genuine camping trip after all. I'm no good with a gun, though. Or...any ranged weapons. All my hands get in the way. I'll stick with Umeko's home cooking! Hey Umeko, think you can make bratwurst and mac n' cheese?" Ysadora breaks out her bag, sorting through a few items. "I don't have any traditional 'games,' but there's an Ouija board and some tarot cards if y'all want to get spooky." She finds a spot in the RV to relax and enjoy the others' company.
(Junes) Junes looked at willy with a tilt before they radioed in once finding out where with some help "hey! everything is chill here, how about your end? over" then to ysadora "oooh tarot? i never tried that so im up for that, or we can make a game with the stuff after"
(Umeko) Umeko grinned over to Ysadora, "Mac and cheese should be easy enough, got all the ingredients here. Bratwurst will take a little bit of nanomagic though... If you want we can get a campfire grill going if you want to cook them over an open flame though, might taste better that way!" she said as she went boil some water and get the pasta cooking. "I've got plenty of nonperishable stuff we can use though if people want go find some fresh stuff we can make something with that too, and enjoy a night camping out since this place seems safe enough. Also I hope we don't find another crazy thing with that Ouija board again if we do that..."
(Willy) Willy I to June with a slight bit of embarrasment, before replying back "Ah...Right sorry!" he says before hearing Ysadora's comments "MMMMMMmmmm I could go for some of that" he says, as he gets the rest of the way out of the Humvee and comes over to the others. "Don't have any games on mind. My focus in time has been inventing, but didn't really have anything game wise to work on." he says before hearing Umeko's comment "Umm...that is noted." he says before finding a place to sit for the moment.
(Sensuen) Sensuen says, "I'm good with a gun, or a wingstick, or a bow, or, well probably just about everything." but since the decision was made to just cook with the provided foodstuffs, Sensuen was fine with either option. The sea angel looks to Ysadora and asks, "Would traps suit you better then perhaps?" finding a good point in her ghostliness, could she play with landmines without getting blown up? Then again, Sensuen understands that she too might not want to test that theory either.
(Kishea) Kishea would pout a bit but accept cooking with the stuff the group already had. "Ill set up the campfire while you cook then umeko."
(Ysadora) Ysadora gets into the spirit of the thing, helping Kishea start the fire and drooling at the thought of roasting fresh bratwurst over it. "Hey Umeko, if we're going to be roasting with the fire anyway, do you think you can whip up some marshmallows?"
(Junes) Junes brought out two types of marshmallows, white and green "i got that covered, did you know they make good fishing bait? who knew!" heading to the fire and getting a paper plate from their bag to put down before speaking to sensuen "im good at making traps and picking stuff but...not sure about deactivating with those but i do have nanomagic maybe, a good sniffer and something for metal so we probably got this, oh and i brought chips and dip of anyone wants"
(Sensuen) Sensuen shrugs to Junes's tip, seemingly not knowing that marshmallows make good bait. The sea angel does nod to Junes's loadout though, at least everyone else came prepared, who knows, if this is a salvage operation, maybe Sensuen will find gear there. For now, Sensuen makes some food, but she's a bit light on stuff to eat out of, even though she didn't forget the fork, spoon and chopsticks. Still, the macaroni and cheese does look good, and so being that her water bottle is dry, Sen fills it with macaroni and cheese and eats out of it for now.
(Umeko) Umeko nodded over to Ysadora, though Junes already had it handled. The green color made her tilt her head a bit. "Huh, is there any particular reason why they're green? Different flavor maybe? I guess it's not as strange as I initially thought, though I don't remember seeing many green ones back in the day other than in cereal." She kept on working on the food, mixing some... dried beans which she used as nonperishable protein storage and other dried ingredients into a bowl with some water before eventually shaping them with nanomagic into the bratwurst. She also finished up the macaroni after melting some cheese from the fridge into it and started bringing things out for people to eat as they gathered around the fire and having set up the campfire grill.
(Willy) Willy smiles "Can I have one of thoes marshmallows?" he asks Junes from where he sits "I want to try something dumb" he says, before relaxing and watching to see how well cooking goes.
(Kishea) Kishea everyone would be chatting and playing cards games after eating, taking a break well before going to sleep and taking on the military compound.
