Mission 1: Past Echoes

OOC:
Sorry btw for the delay, but I'm ready to continue now. The three of you will continue here.
The headquarters of the NOPEA is fairly hard to judge. There is a large number of buildings that cluster together, where some serves to be open to the public, and others are highly secured, such as the research centres and the launchpads of the rockets. The meeting point is one of several pristine glass buildings, which appear to mainly serve as office for administrative purposes.

As Jerome and Zakk enters into the main lobby, they speak with the counter lady regarding seeing a Mr M, or Murphy, in his office. The lady examines their IDs before calling for a security guard to guide them into the building.

As for Matsuki, she arrives to the back of the building, where she is brought out of the van and towards the loading bay elevator by 2 burly guards and Mr M himself.
One by one, they are brought into a basement level room that looks like a small white class room with a projector on the ceiling. Once everyone has gathered, Mr M instructs for Matsuki's handcuffs to be removed, for his bodyguards to remain on standby.

"It's been a while since we last saw each other. I would like to introduce you three to your team mates. If you like, you can give your introductions. Don't make it too long, you can get to know each other even better along the way."
OOC:
Matsuki may still be in her yellow coloured prison clothes. She has the option to have changed out into office clothes, or something else she prefers before she travels in the van.

Jerome stands up, and straighten his clothes. "Well, I guess I'll go first. My name is Jerome Huxley. I am a devout follower of The Brotherhood of Mankind. I was approached to be the chaplain for this next mission."

He then sits back down, his gaze going from Zack to Matsuki, as if inviting them to go next, but also wondering why this woman is in handcuffs (and possibly a prison jumpsuit)...

Having been given the option, she changes into her office clothes. The handcuffs are almost welcome given that she is dressed more like how she feels than she had for ... Years?

In the basement room, she examines the others. She gives them both a wide grin, but behind that smile her eyes seem almost predatory, like she's ahead found your weakness and is ready to pounce. Yet she's dressed like a paralegal or office administrator. A Japanese 'Karen' maybe.

"I am very pleased to meet you. Please call me Suki."
Jun 19, 2021 4:05 pm
"Nice to meet you Suki. So, what brought you here..." Jerome let those last words trail, it wasn't much of a question, more of an invitation to elaborate on her situation... Meanwhile, Jerome's gaze drifted back towards the cuffs.
Jun 19, 2021 4:25 pm
"I was brought by a prison transport van and too few armed guards." She holds stiff fingers to cover her mouth and giggles.

She waits for an introduction.

"I see..." Something about this "Suki" didn't sat well with Jerome. He wondered if she would be trouble on the mission... He then turned to look at Zack. "And what about you brother?"
Jun 20, 2021 1:11 pm
OOC:
Btw, the cuffs has been removed from Suki, but she could be seen wearing it as she was brought into the room.
While introductions are under way, the man called Mr M strolls over to the computer on a desk at the front of the room. He types away on it.

"Zakk 'Wildman' Wylde, I guess resident Space Rocker of this little group dude and dudette..." Zakk explains not standing and nods to the others. He runs his hands through his hair and stretches, "Hey I can film myself during the launch right? Do I have to stay quiet over comms during that time? IF I don't have my comms channel open can I say whatever the *#$& I want?"
Jun 21, 2021 12:57 pm
"Welcome brother Zakk." Jerome was taken a bit aback by Zakk's carefree attitude. "Filming during launch? I'm no physicist here, but I'm pretty sure we'll be experiencing several gees of force during lift off. I don't think you'll be in a state for doing much filming..."
Jun 21, 2021 1:10 pm
"Hmmm... Several gees of force like your muscles are tearing and your skins melting... free bird shackled, eyes bleeeding... nah well maybe..." Zakk smiles shaking a finger at Huxley like he's on to something his eyes staring at something unseen his mouth still hanging open, "Hey is it too late to request a mount for a camera to get installed close to me? Man maybe I might loose my @$(% while singing... Space psychosis? Man this deal keeps get better and better..." he asks curious before his musings go off in a random thought path.
Jun 21, 2021 1:47 pm
"I... have no idea what's going on anymore..."
Jun 21, 2021 1:59 pm
OOC:
At least I didn't ask if we can poop in the space suits... yet XD
Jun 21, 2021 5:04 pm
"Mr. Zakk, you are the superstar?" She seems wide eyed at the potential that such an.illustrious figure is in the same room as her.
Jun 22, 2021 1:26 pm
"I'm a rocker with a little bit of fame and some ill repute... Superstar, nah aint that mainstream... Supernova though... yeah... I should use Supernova."
Jun 22, 2021 3:14 pm
"Hum, supernovas are stars that died..."
Jun 22, 2021 5:07 pm
"I know!" Zakk states all smiles his mouth agape still and his eyes lighting up in an odd sense of wonder.
Jun 24, 2021 4:12 pm
Eventually, Mr M was able to turn the projector on. It beams out an image of the DOPEA's logo on the screen. He then clears his throat.
"Ah hum! Well, you all must be curious why an assortment of civilians are brought together to take part in a secret mission! Well not exactly going to be much of a secret, with Mr Wylde here. I am just gonna say that I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Or more like a shot gun at a flock. I'm referring to the potential goals your group could accomplish, not that you are the killed birds in the metaphor.

Anyways, regarding our rockstar's questions, yes we could install a mount to your suit for your camera. However, your camera may block your vision by quite a bit when mounted. Also, it should be able to withstand the Gs while filming during launch. Nothing short of significant damage to the camera might cause it to be loose."
OOC:
Custom rule:
Zakk's Vacsuit has a mount on it. It is only used to secure a camera on it, so he could film free hand. As consequence, if the camera is fixed on the mount, he will suffer +2 to the rolls he makes for Saves that involves vision. He also gets -1 to damage dealt. This penalty can be removed when the camera is dismounted, which takes an action.

OOC:
Like an Imax GoPro!
Matsuki looks at the others, and senses that they are going to be spies. They're all obviously talented at being personable, well, except her, but she is an accomplished infiltrator.

"Do you want us to infiltrate rival organization? Find out the good secrets?"

OOC:
Takes notes on the mechanical verbage, this was RP purposes.
"Other people are getting shot up into space at the same time? We'll I guess you're going to explain what you actually want us to do once we're up there yeah?"
Jun 25, 2021 1:23 pm
Jerome was a bit confused, he was already given a reason for being selected... "Wait, I was already told I was supposed to be the chaplain for a colony because there were people that were still religious over there..."
