Valen stood at the pier at the Unicorn HQ, Victor by his side. It was night time and both were wearing the required equipment for this mission, although Victor was less armed as his role was one of tech support. After the briefing, Valen had given Cecil the location of a brand new vehicle Victor had designed for this mission. Now a day later, Cecil would be taking "The Beetle" on it's maiden voyage.
"It's 1AM, they should be arriving soon." Said Victor as he checked his watch.
"They better be, it's cold out here." Muttered Valen as he began pacing impatiently. So many things could go wrong with this mission, some of them he probably couldn't predict. The effect on his nervous was easily noticeable.

Leon walks up, wearing the complete set of required equipment, as well as a pack full of explosives. He would be dealing with the heavy ordinance on this mission.
"I don't know what you are complaining about, this is Brisk and plesant weather."
Leon says with a grin.
"Well, I am ready to go when you guys are."

The other felt a gust of air from above and saw a shimmer as the Beetle above decloaked and landed next to them. Natalie stood in the hatchway as the craft landed.
"So you guys need a ride?"
She stepped out as the Beetle powered down and Cecil got out behind her, helmet slung over his shoulder.
"Nice ride, handles like a dream."

"Thank you. I've worked hard to make this thing as close to perfect as possible." Said Victor as he climbed aboard and took a seat in the personnel cabin.
"Thanks for doing this Cecil, I don't trust the autopilot." Said Valen, speaking quietly so that Victor wouldn't hear him. "Now we just need the others to show up so we can launch. We should make it to the city in an hour, which means we'll have at least three hours of dark to cover our entry."

Climbing aboard the unusually shaped craft, Marco Owen was loaded for bear, as evident by the amount of inventory he was carrying on his person. If it was one thing he remembered from the good old days, it was to assume and prepare for the worse, which accounted for the equipment the brawny male was bringing along. Not surprisingly, old habits died hard and he had also brought along ear plugs and dark tinted shades, just as a precaution. "Reporting", he mentioned in his usual succinct manner.

Axl and Alex boarded soon after. While Axl looked ready to pop some heads, bearing a sniper rifle in addition to two pistols, Alex was geared up for tech support, bringing only a single pistol and concealed wrist knives as a defensive measure when needed, and even had his usual black tool belt and red lensed goggles with him. "We're ready to roll anytime." reported Axl as he leaned the sniper rifle on the wall next to his seat. "Can't wait to see what kinds of new technologies we'll find once the target city's been captured." stated Alex as he waited idly inside the transport near the entry ramp.

"This city survived The Fall, it should have something impressive." Said Valen as he climbed into the aircraft. "Once we're in the air i'll explain the entry a little further. I suggest you tighten those leg braces."

Natalie quickly checked her equipment over and closed up her bag. Her concealed blades springing out for a moment and then retracting.
"Let's kick U.E. ass." she said as she took her seat.
Cecil put his helmet back on and sat down at the controls.
"Hang on tight."
Sealing the external hatch he opened up the Beetle's throttle to full. The craft lifting off and jetting off into the night.
"Coolant systems at 100%, optical camouflage ready. Activating cloak."

"Alright the entry plan is simple," Said Valen as they took off, "Once above the city we will perform a high altitude sky dive into the southwestern section of the city. To minimize risk of detection, we'll have to deploy 'shutes at building level, that's where the braces come in. Once inside the city we will have three hours to take out the southeastern power plant, that's the one supply power to the defense turrets. If we can't do that by then, we are to pull out immediately."
"Because we don't know the enemy's capabilities communication is to be restricted only to touch com." He gestured towards the mouth piece dangling from his neck and wiggled his fingers. "When the plant is down we'll fire flares to signal our forces to attack. The enemy will be confused and more importantly, distracted, as we make our way to the civilian hostages. Once secured we will fire another series of flares to signal for recovery. Once complete we will rendezvous back on the carrier and sortie to end this mess. Understood?"

Axl and Alex both nodded while making sure their gear was ready. Axl was busy testing his antenna's comm function and rangefinder. As a personal request, Alex had the antenna's comm mode modified so it worked like a touch com for the mission. Alex in the mean time secured his goggles over his eyes as an early prep. measure for the jump. Alex also made sure his rubber bands and duct tape were safe inside the satchel he bought and double-checked that his tools were safely tucked in their spaces on his tool belt. "So, once we touchdown, we have 3 hours to kill the power. Any idea how far the power plant will be relative to our landing point, or what we might encounter in the city?" Inquired Axl as he secured the 3 silencers he brought to his Baretta, Desert Eagle, and Special Police Rifle.

"Expect a lot of infantry. That's all I can say concerning the enemy strength as nobody who has seen the enemies ground forces have survived. As for the distance, we'll have to travel the length of the city to make it to the power plant. I would have landed us closer, but they probably have heavier surveillance in that area. Plus we need to give our comrades time to prepare." Replied Valen as he began testing his gear and equipment. Putting on his mouth piece he placed a hand on Natalie's shoulder and said, "Testing testing. Can you hear me?"

Natalie gave him the thumbs up and opened up her back, checking over her medical tech.
"We have any idea on weaponry? Last thing I need is to have to pull a round out of one of you the size of a coin."

"I'm going to be frank here, I have absolutely no idea on what we're gonna be facing down there. We tried to find some hint of what the enemy uses outside of mobile suits but nothing came up. We'll know what we're facing when we get down there. Because of our being blind in this, nobody is to engage the enemy unless necessary. It would alert the enemy and endanger us." Sighed Valen.

To say that Marco was a bit nervous, was a tad of an understatement. The idea of going in blind into a hostile city, was not exactly his idea of a midnight jaunt. But he shoved those concerns aside, and instead focused on mental relaxing exercises. If anything else, it was just like every other undocumented mission he went on, except with a touch higher than normal stakes.
"I'll cover our six...", he mentioned, seeing how the team needed someone to cover their back. If anything else, I would be good as a meat shield..., he thought to himself rather wryly, flashing a wolfish grin, in the dim lighting of the Beetle.

Leon quickly checked the straps on his Parachute, making sure that they are snug, then leans forwards.
"Well, this is entirely speculation, but it is gathered from what we know about the enemy So far. We know that they don't seem to fight for themselves, and use remote controled Mobile suits, so I suspect this place to be automated."
Leon sits back in his seat, a bit tense, but understandable.
"Remember, the best plans fall apart upon contact with the enemy. Keep on your toes, and improvise as necessary. We should make a meeting point for if we get seperated at any point during the mission. If we do get seperated, you still must try and finish the mission."
