Skyfall Briefing

[Ransac16]

Valen and Victor entered the briefing room in the Unicorn HQ. Setting up a projector in the rear of the room, keeping it off, they took their seats and waited for the others to arrive. Victor plugged his laptop into a long adapter cable connecting to the projector with a loud sigh.

"You know this may be our biggest mission...kind of nervous." Said Victor.

"After this we all will..." Muttered Valen, leaning forward in deep thought.

Leon quickly enters the room and sits down at the end of the table, his own computer in front of him. He would be taking notes and would request technical specs from Victor later. Shortly after, the hunter followed the unexpected form of The Fighter, who both take their places at the table.

Cecil walked into the briefing room wearing his usual attire with a long black coat. He looked around and sat down, examining a small tablet with his suit's design schematics on it while he waited.

A few minutes later Natalie walked in and sat down next to him.

"Excited?"

"It's about time we got out there, with some luck it'll go better than last time."

Dust walked in, covered in oil and grease from work at the shop as usual, not really much for taking too many breaks when big missions were on the horizon. Charlie was out testing some of the prototypes, he had elected to stay at HQ for defense in case someone tried to attack while the main force was away.

Dust sat down and waited for it to begin.

Striding into the briefing room, Marco noted that a few familiar faces were already present in the room, and settling down in preparation for the beginning of said briefing. He himself was held up a tad, as he was waiting to collate the last of documents, regarding Team Strike's current logistics. With that chore done, the burly male was free to find a seat and wait for the presentation to begin.

Settling himself down beside Cecil, he couldn't help but look over and see what the man was doing on the tablet.

"Upgrades ?"

[spiceracksargent01]

Axl and Alex made their way into the briefing room. As they had been called in suddenly while working out details on Alex's new suit prototype for Axl's use, they were discussing details of it as they entered, notable items being mentioned including a type of bow weapon and a new weapons line Alex was currently drafting for production.

Briar, Willis, and Devon all entered the room and took their seats. Willis and Devon were relaxed and even busy talking about their own matters, barely paying attention, while Briar was deep in thought, hi brow furrowed.

Winters entered the briefing room, with a notebook under his right arm which was bloodied and bandaged; possibly from working on his machine. He found a seat, buried his face in his notebook and began writing down something.

Cecil passed the tablet to Marco.

"Couple surprises for the Broadstriker." Said Cecil, grinning. "Stealth system, no traceable heat and invisible through infra-red to ultra-violet. Been toying with some new ideas for the shields too, swapped out the gatlings for some new ones which can hold things like rifles. So I figured I'd procure a couple Variable Rifles and see how much damage we can do."

As he spoke he pointed out the upgrades on the blueprints.

"Impressed?"

[Azkaiel]

Looking over the schematics, Marco was rather intrigued by the upgrades Cecil was planning for his unit. For one thing he was surprised with his team mate's plans for a stealthier machine. But alas, the Deathwing was too loaded at the moment to accept any new equipment, plus even if he were to purchase any, there was a risk that the items might not make it here on time, which would defeat their purpose.

"Not bad", he remarked.

"One moment, our esteemed leader should know of these reports" Marco said, as he got up and headed over to Valen's location, bearing a paper folder with the logistical documents, which he handed over.

[Ransac16]

Valen looked at the documents Marco had handed to him. "That should keep things interesting for a while." He said before placing the files in a large bag he had been carrying.

"If it's new designs leave me out of it, I got enough on my mind without other people needing me for their stuff." Said Victor as he began playing Pacman on his laptop. "No offense guys." He added.

[Therider]

Nathan loudly enter the room. The large figure of the man was only contained by his muscle shirt, his hammer around his neck.

"Valen,"Nathan boomed. "Just what is going on?"

[Ransac16]

Valen quirked his eyebrow at Nathan. "Sit down and when everyone shows up i'll tell you." He said, gesturing towards an empty seat near the back of the room.

[Bozz]

Brad and Verdi rushed in sweating and still in training clothes, wooden swords at there sides. "Sorry Verdi and I were having a sparring session and lost track of time" Brad explained as they took there seats. "We are here now. I assume due to our lateness we are the last to arrive."

[Ransac16]

"Yup. Alright everyone take your seats." Called out Valen. Behind him Victor closed his game of Pacman and turned on the projector.

"I'm sure you're all wondering why you've all been called in here so abruptly. There's a good reason. An hour ago Victor intercepted a distress signal with both the Bunker and the HQ's transceivers. This message was heard completely unencrypted and broadcast in all directions. Victor managed to record a part of it." Valen nodded to Victor who punched in a few commands on his laptop.

"...city swarmed...the enemy seized control so fast...many of us were killed in the attack. I'm broadcasting this message on an open frequency in the hopes someone will hear this. They've taken the defense turrets and they're...BOLT THE DOORS, EVERYONE INTO THE SEWERS! THEY'RE COMING THROUGH!" The messaged abruptly ended with the sound of gunfire.

"Encoded in this message was a map of the city and it's current location, fairly basic but it maps out several strategic locations. For some reason the central tower has been highlighted on the map. As for the location, it turns out the enemy have been hiding it near our shores. It's likely they intended to use it as a launching point for an all out assault. With such a nearby base they could easily transport supplies and mobile suits to the front line, we would be overrun within a day." As he spoke the projector displayed an image of a large city and displayed each detail as they were said, giving a clear visual image.

"That isn't our biggest problem unfortunately. I was able to pick up another message but it was highly distorted. I believe the enemy has captured the survivors of their attack and are preparing to transport them into space. This city is perhaps one of the last relics of the Old Era left to us. These people have been living in it since before The Fall. If the enemy manages to get them into space, we'll lose any chance of rescuing them and recovering what we lost years ago." Said Victor. On the projector the image of a skull and crossbones appeared.

"The plan is simple, a small team of six people will enter the city from above. The team will have to sky dive, no mobile suits. Judging from the data those defense turrets will shred any suit that gets within firing range. The team will make their way to the power plant. Once there they will cut the power, disabling the turrets and hopefully confusing the enemy. Once that is done a second group will commence a full scale assault on the city's defense force to serve as both a distraction and to allow rescue craft to enter the city and recover the prisoners. If all goes well we may even be able to retake the city." With each step the image added new details such as six dots entering the city from the sky and making their way to a large building complex on the south west section of the city.

"This must be done with utmost precision and stealth. If the enemy suspect we're making a move, they will summon reinforcements and most likely kill the civilians. Worst case, they attack the HQ instead." Valen sat down in his seat and looked around at the people gathered. "The plan is simple, but it is by no means an easy one. Victor and I have already put ourselves into the infiltration team. We're going to need full cooperation between all of us if we're to pull this off. So...any volunteers?"
