< @Vulpas > Crow smiles. he eases closer to Sentinel, and kisses her again, leaning her back onto the bed... < @MetalDog4 > "Of course! Oh... Connor, did you see this? They're finally getting married! Oh, this is so exciting!" Kylei squealed. Then she looks at him, blushing again. "Connor... would you like to take me as your date?" < @Xanxas > Yalei came into Kyras' quarters, laughing. "Silly, the parties are not for a while yet. You have time" < @WanderingJester > [...I dunno] < EVERYBODY > Feel free to respond, or not. Tomorrow morning is when I will push the next mission.
Connor paused for a minute, caught off guard by her request. "Uhhhh what? Wait...yes! I mean, I would love too! I don't really know who they are but I guess that's not a big deal, I have a nice bottle of wine in my FRAME that we could give as a gift. Skye, is my dress uniform pressed?" "Of course it is Connor, you may also want to check your dataslate, you have an invitation to the groom's bachelor party as well." "Ah do I now? Well I guess I shall be cracking open that whiskey as well tonight. Kylei, when should I pick you up from your room?"
EPISODE V : DEEP TROUBLE, DEEP HATRED < EVERYBODY > Commander Yilli's voice came on over the intercom: "I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I really do... but we are deploying now! All riders to your FRAMEs! Briefing will come over comms. [Feel free to emote here. Once the riders were in their FRAMEs, Logistics officer Moren's voice came in. "We are currently outside radar range of the planet Yammar. The command here has fallen out of contact with the UTC, and before that there were reports of questionable experiments and happenings. We are in contact with a small group of UTC agents. Their news... is disturbing. < @WanderingJester > "Kelley, you have command. Lead your team to the rendezvous point. Meet with the agents, and come up with a plan of action. We are to hold position until reinforcements arrive, but we are seeing movement. We may be in for a fight. [Delegate roles, positions, ETC. however you want. The team consists of: Ioren, Dunni, Connor ( @MetalDog4 ) , Sentinel ( @Vulpas ) , Crow, Kyras ( @Xanxas ) ; Yalei is Out Of Action. Get the team to the Agents with this post, please] < READ BELOW > [ @WanderingJester @Vulpas @Xanxas @MetalDog4 - This mission is going to need teamwork and communication. So I recommend you pay attention, and maybe work on tagging the other players you speak to or assist.]
Connor cursed inwardly at the poor timing, but there was nothing that could be done. He could hear his FRAME coming online, he had a minute or two before it was ready as the system calibrated the new upgrades. "Sorry Kylei, but I've got to go, duty calls. I will let you know how the new thrusters work!" He could see Skye out of the corner of his eye, debated whether or not he should kiss Kylei, decided it was too soon, then ran over to his FRAME. With the Warthog's systems online he contacted the man who was supposed to be in charge of the mission. "Lieutenant Kelley is it? I don't believe we have met yet, though I did receive an invite to your wedding! Congratulations! Anyways, I'm Lieutenant Connor Banning, pilot of the Warthog, a Destroyer Class frame focusing on long range precision strikes, particularly effective against high armor targets."
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I really do... but we are deploying now! All riders to your FRAMEs! Briefing will come over comms." Kelley quickly popped up, gave Morain a kiss, and rushed over to Destiny's End. Once powering up inside more details came about. "We are currently outside radar range of the planet Yammar. The command here has fallen out of contact with the UTC, and before that there were reports of questionable experiments and happenings. We are in contact with a small group of UTC agents. Their news... is disturbing. Kelley, you have command. Lead your team to the rendezvous point. Meet with the agents, and come up with a plan of action. We are to hold position until reinforcements arrive, but we are seeing movement. We may be in for a fight." Kelley nodded, then switched on to comms when Connor spoke to him. "Lieutenant Kelley is it? I don't believe we have met yet, though I did receive an invite to your wedding! Congratulations! Anyways, I'm Lieutenant Connor Banning, pilot of the Warthog, a Destroyer Class frame focusing on long range precision strikes, particularly effective against high armor targets." "Copy, good to have you on board Banning. Alright let's get down there people." With that Destiny's End stepped on to the mecha launcher and blasted off, heading for the planet below and the agent they're supposed to be meeting up.
Connor keyed his mic in response to Kelley's order. "Roger that, right behind you." With one last wave at Kylei, the Warthog joined Destiny's End in its descent down to the surface. "Skye, how are the system's running?" "Excellent, those mechanics know their stuff, the thrusters appear to be performing optimally." "Appear to be?" He asked, slightly concerned. "Don't worry, you'll never know if they arent, at this distance if they aren't working, you'll smash into a mountain and die instantly on impact, but so far according to the velocimeters we're doing good."
Kyras joined the descending team, delivering his own greetings as he went. "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey kelly, heeeeeeeeeeeeey new guy pleasure workin with ya. Oh yeah, kongrats on the wedding Kelly! Hope its funtastic! This should be interesting tho, we didnt split up for once!" Hopefully, he mused, that meant things would go well, as whenever they split up it usually led to extremely painful nearly dead Kyras. Not a fan o' that he was.
Sentinel Got up from bed waking up from hearing the Captains call for The Riders to get ready. "well Looks like we are going to get Back to work." sentinel said as she got began getting up and getting her suit on, While Crow got up and got his cloths on and suit on. "Well then lets see were this mission will take us Ey Crow." she said as as they both went to the briefing. As they listened to the briefing both of them were silent taking in the information. "What kind of questionable Experiments were they up to Biological, mechanical, Weapons, or armor?" Crow asked at briefing before meeting with the rest of there team. After Getting to both There Frames Frost Chimed in. "Been working on the Hell hound most of the Time off to get her back and working good news I was also able to install A ammunition Fire selector for the auto cannon and got us some AP, Explosive, and Emp rounds that should help us in battle So where are we going?" Frost asked as Sentinel Plugged Her Frame into the ports throughout her spine and neck. "Some kind Of UTC Facility that went out of contact with the UTC, Reports are they have lot of Weird experiments here and Strange occurrences Sounds suspicious to me." She said as The hell hound began taking its steps out of the launch bay and went flying to space to regroup with the others. Crow following in suit behind. She then opened coms up to the other Riders. "So anyone hear anything about what they do at this outpost?" She asked as she regrouped with the others. Her Own Bulwark Frame often Bigger then others had scorch marks from the past battle some of the Skeleton and flames from the mech that were painted on were warn or scratched off but still had its intimidating Gaze.
Connor chimed in at that: "It was a research and testing facility under Experimental Command, primarily biological experiments, but FRAMES that needed forward deployment testing were often stationed here as a staging ground for missions into Splinter territory, it's where I was stationed for about a month or so before joining you all."
< @Vulpas ; @WanderingJester ; @MetalDog4 ; @Xanxas > The rest of the team formed up. The planet they were flying towards was an arctic world, mostly untouched. The exception was a sprawling complex Fifty miles from the rendezvous point. "Biological experiments?" Dunni called in over the squad chat, "That sounds familiar... we might be getting into more than we thought." The seven FRAMEs landed on the ice, spraying chunks of he stuff and a mist of vapor into the air.Kelley, at the front of the group, found himself faced with four standard-issue UTC agent rifles aimed in their direction. There were five agent-class mecha, two on each flank of a fifth, who was wielding a sidearm. "Men, stand down. These are the forces we were to expect. The rifles were lowered reluctantly as the leader stepped forward. "Agent Oberon. I am your contact. I have been infiltrating the upper echelons of this facility, and I have uncovered worrisome news. It seems the director has been taking research contracts from the Splinter... and not normal research." A hologram appeared in front of the riders. It looked like a FRAME, but twisted and with biological-looking parts. "The most worrying, are these. They have been taking their scientists, and melding them into these monsters. Part Human, Part FRAME, Part SOUL... all dangerous. It is unknown why, but one thing's for sure. They must be stopped. Our job is to attack the site, and keep them occupied until the rest of the forces arrive to blast this planet from orbit. Too many dangerous specimens reside here to allow anything to escape." "Any questions? Or are we ready to begin?"
