The Cracking Ice - Chapter 1

Dec 14, 2019 8:12 pm
As recruits of the Tomorrow Legion, you have all responded to a request to team up on a somewhat routine patrol. You will be observed, and if a team shuffling will be needed, that may occur later.

You have arrived at the location, on the edge of a burgh outside of Castle Refuge. These small towns have begun to populate with refugees brave enough to leave the tall walls. This one is called Grief. You're not in the burgh itself, but within a half-mile of the town, on a hilly lookout, with a scenic view of the valley.

Some of you may have operated under the Legion before, and some of you haven't. But for reasons unique to each of you, you don't have a permanent assigned team.

Chay Blaise, Kyron, Ana Baker, Tipolei (aka Kill Hound) but you're waiting for two more: one of them is Ben Volent, who is your assigned squad leader for this mission.

Ana was sat cross-legged on the floor as she stared at a cloud up in the sky. She wasn't really paying much attention to her surroundings, unlike most of the time. She let her thoughts wander as she waited, unaware to the presence of anyone else around her. She'd arrived first, not really wanting to spend much time in the coffin that was her room. She started idly tapping her knee, smiling a little.

Kyron crests the hill. He glances over seeing Ana he smiles a bit. "Hello Ana." he sits near her but not too close to crowd the young woman. An idea does come to him that he should buy her a drum.

Chay arrived in dramatic fashion, popping a wheelie and, plonking it down right next to the group, inches away from Kyron who was surly used to his antics by now. His three wheeled ATV was so shiny it hurt to look at it. Chay jumped out and gave Kyron a pat on the shoulder.

Nice view! he proclaimed.

Kyron didnt want to show it but his fingers dug into the ground below him when Chay pulled up.

"Chay." Kyron said trying to sound calm. Though Chay knew him well enough to know he had startled him and the Elve was just trying to play it cool.

"Todays mission may involve the Men in Black Chay. The Dead Boys. Word has it were going to have a genuine Cyberknight to lead this mission. It may have something to do with the war. Ana, do you have armor ?"

Never far from Ana when he could, Tipolei had already arrived before her to secure the are. Not wanting to let her know, he stayed hidden. But with Chay's dramatic arrival, Tipolei silently joins the group and sits down beside Ana. Once Ana realizes Tipolei is beside her, is tail will start wagging...

Ana panics a little when Chay arrives, the loud noise startling her. She then shakes her head at Kyron, not having any armour and only having a pistol and a survival pack. Upon seeing Tipolei, she quickly brightens up, leaning against him.

"Our first order of business then is to get you some armor so you can better be protected." seeing Tipolei, Kyron smiled "Hey Tipolei, you might be especially useful for this mission. We may be facing Coalition forces."

Upon hearing Coalition, Ana tenses up.

Delighted to hear of a mission, Chay is full of questions.

Who are these Dead Boys... hmm? No match for us I'd wager but the more we know the better. And Anna will need some beefing up. Armor, better fire power, the works. A Cyberknight huh? Who is it and from where? What qualifies him to lead us?

Chay pauses for a moment... looking at Kyron.

I couldn't help but notice you digging your fingers into the ground when I showed up. What's wrong old pal? You know I don't miss a trick

"Huh you know the Dead Boys, the Coalitions soldiers. I don't know the Cyberknight personally but the Legion selected them. So I trust their decision making. Might be one of the ones who escorted refugees from Tolkeen."

Looking down at his hands, "Well, you I trust but all I heard was an engine and Im never sure if a Crazy might be behind the wheel." He smirks good naturedly to his friend.

"I agree with you about Ana, heck all of us for this mission should be prepared for danger. I am pretty sure our team leader will have more details but I was informed this mission may have to do with repercussions of the war which means Tolkeen and Coalition involvement. I hate dealing with an enemy you can't reason with but it is what it is."

Oh those dead boys. Lemme at 'em. Heh. Welp, I am looking forward to getting the full briefing then.
Dec 15, 2019 3:15 pm
Anna nodded a little, still tense. She tapped Kyron on the shoulder and then showed him a message on her device [How much does that cost? I don't have much money. Also, I'm bad at shooting...]
Dec 15, 2019 3:16 pm
"Don't worry Ana, I take care of soldiers before they hurt you."
Dec 15, 2019 3:29 pm
Ana leant against him again, nodding [Thank you.]

"Armor can be expensive Ana, but your with us. We will take care of you and as Tipolei said we will take the heat. As soon as we get armor we will make sure it goes to you. Just avoid getting close to the enemy and Chay's vehicle is pretty armored so if things get crazy you go in there ok. Maybe this cyberknight has enough seniority to ask for a suit of armor for you. If we are out and about and things happen I can throw a protective spell over you if your close."

"Guys we are ok with the first salvaged armor going to Ana right ?"
Dec 15, 2019 3:42 pm
[Don't worry about them getting close, I can] Ana starts typing where Kyron and Tipolei can see before deleting it all [Nevermind, thanks for the help.]
Dec 15, 2019 4:14 pm
"You bet, we should all look out for each other." Kyron gave a warm smile then looked around to see if the Cyberknight was arriving yet.
Dec 15, 2019 5:35 pm
Whispering to Ana, "Ana no tell you have magic? Me can smell it, nice smell, like barbecu... Tipolei like barbecu and Tipolei like Ana !"

Ana turned to Tipolei and discretely put her fingers to her lips. [People don't like people like me. They kill them.]
