Fog Of War

[Akans]

Jayin had left the conference room after Rikken and James had left, and procded down into the armoury, slightly late, but early enough to catch the operation of the plugs. It seemed simple enough, but, of course, it was much more complicated than it really was.
Jayin shook his head slightly from beneath the shadows from where he was standing in. What happened to the good old days where you only had your pistol and your tactical skill to keep you from screwing up, or worse? Technology was taking all the skill out of battle these days.

Jayin pulled his mind back to the present. Another person had entered, a techy by the looks of it, and proceeded to examine Shay. He yawned heavily. He already knew this stuff, he was up to date with all the technology. He himself already had similar implants, though nothing like this, however.

But it did seem like a lot of equipment, - and a lot of people - to hunt down one spy. There was somthing going on here.

OOC: I hate making short posts :/

Lloyd watched intently as something was brewing. Specialized suits, more than needed weapons and a large force like this for one spy and a small base. Not all of the truth was being told. Worried for the safety of his crew, he spoke out.

“So why don’t you really tell us what were getting into? I know your hiding something from us.”

The procedure that went upon Shay was careful and it seemed harmless, but Lloyd had no interest of putting this equipment on until Rikken answered his question. Lloyd simply sat back and watched the crew being readied.

“So why don’t you really tell us what were getting into? I know your hiding something from us.”

Jayin looked up sharply. Finally, someone else realized it. This was so melodramatic for such a small task. At least one of the other people here could think over things logically.

Jayin himself was tempted to ask the same question, but he, being a mute, naturally could not, so he waited for the others to ask. Also, it was such a blatently obvious thing, that anyone who didn't realize it was probably an idiot. And someone to aviod in battle. Fighting with an idiot was paramount to suicide.
But that usually didn't matter. Jayin fought alone.

He sighed heavily, and wondered what Rikken would answer. Hopefully, it would be more interesting than a cat-and-mouse spy chase.

"Go ahead Wozza." She replied as he came over to examine her plugs. She lifted up her hair and pulled it forward, clearing her neck area. After a few minutes, she let her hair fall down and she made her way back to her wall spot. She watched th operating table again, and no one seemed to be jumping forward at the chance to get sliced up with a scalpel. Lucky her, she got to be first. They all began to question Rikken about the operation, about saftey and why he was really doing it. It was probably a smart idea, but she didnt really have a choice.

She sighed and lowered her head, then went and picked up her uniform. This was her chance to change, while people were distracted by the operation. She saw that Slief already occupied the outter room, so she quicky strode to the darkest and farthest corner of the room, protected by shelves loaded with armor and weapons. She changed swiftly, pulling the strecthy suit over her body. It was very clingy, yet breathable, and it reminded her of the spandex costumes superheroes would wear in sci fi movies. It was very fitting, bending with her as she moved, showing off her slim and slender figure. Her suit differed from the mens only slightly; hers having move of a V neck and it seemed to be toned more towards a female figure.

She walked back over to where everyone was gathered, and she put her boots back on, which she had to remove when she put on her suit. She wasnt going to press any buttons until all the other guys had their suits on. She didnt like being first, clearly seen in the operation, and she was going to wait for them..."If they will ever go." She muttered under her breath.

“So why don’t you really tell us what were getting into? I know your hiding something from us.”

Alex look as if he didn't hear comment , but he actually did and it made him think about it. Why so many people to track down one person? But, after a few seconds, he just ignored it. It was a job, anyway, he was going to have to do it. He removed his goggles and raised them in front of him, staring at them while he waited.

[Rikken Omnious]

"What makes you think I know?" said Rikken washing the scalpal in a sink after having finished with Shay. "I only get the orders, I just get told to carry them out is all. Im kept in the dark as well." In truth this was a lie, He knew exactly what was going on. He thought better than to tell them. That spy had already killed dozen's of squads hat had gone after him. This squad was the elite squad. Hopefully Zetsumi and himself could control this group long enough. Zetsumi's gaze swept over the group. As though they had the nerve to ask why so many people are needed.

"I'll tell you this though," said Rikken, "This guy must have killed a lot of people to have to send a group like this after him. Plus we need more than one person, Its a warzone out there at the moment. A single person can get killed a lot easier if he's alone than someone who's in a group. Okay next." He said placing a new blade on the scalpal and waiting for his next victim.

Lloyd wasn't as quiet as Taryn had originally figured him to be, to his surprise. He explained to him that at the moment, he would only be taking interest in light armour, apparently satisfied with his initial weaponry. Taryn actually felt exactly the same way, as he examined the shelves for anything that could strike them as interesting. Shay had began her examination as well, picking out several guns and equiping them in just about anywhere upon her body that would allow it. By the end of her little shopping spree, she was heavily armed, making the two men look almost pathetic next to her.

Without a word, she left the shelves and returned to her original spot upon the wall, leaning against it in the same manner. Shit... don't want to mess with her... still cute though. Taryn thought as he watched her go for a moment before turning his attention back to Lloyd. However, the two didn't get a chance to exchange any opinions upon the armour before Rikken and Zetsumi entered the armoury, telling them of a uniform they were required to wear for the mission.

The two demonstrated the uniform and explained its purpose. "This system, which is going to be fitted to all of you now, feeds back battlefield information directly to me and everyone else who is in the system. Okay everyone get your uniforms on and then move over here to where your cables will get inserted."

Taryn took a moment to think it through, before Lloyd objected to the idea entirely, suggesting that they were hiding something behind their backs. While he didn't entirely believe that there was a conspiracy going on, he personally didn't like the idea of being monitored at all times. These 'cables' sounded more like puppet strings to him. However, before his own objection, Shay was the first to have the plugs inserted. It didn't take more than a few moments, and Rikken explained himself to Lloyd that he himself didn't know much about what was really going on and that he was merely obeying orders.

Bullshit. Taryn had expected a better explanation than that, but he didn't push it so much farther.

"Excuse me for asking, but are these measures completely necessary? I understand that we have to be together to take this guy out, but these cables seem a bit..." He didn't want to be too blunt about it, "over the top, don't you think?"

While the rest of them were discussing the issue, Shay had apparently taken the oppertunity to quickly put the suit on, without anybody looking. The suit clinged extremly close to her body, pronouncing every detail of it that may not have been entirely recognized previously. She looked stunning, actually. It seemed stupid that he was objecting to this now, after she had been braver than the rest of them to go through with it first, although being the nervous one amongst the rest. If all this truly was a trap of some sort, it didn't seem right anymore that she should go down alone.

"Okay next." Rikken said, awaiting for someone else to step up.

And so, his weakness asserted itself.

"Eh, what the hell..." Taryn replied, somewhat apatheticly as he stepped toward the operating table, laying upon it.

Waking with a start, Tila shot up in her chair, squinting in the light that poured in from the little window. Rubbing her temples, she silently wondered how long she had dozed off for, before turning her attention to the little screens, all of them being live CCTV footage of the building, both inside, and out. Adjusting her glasses, she swept her hair over one shoulder before scanning all of the screens.

The place was deserted, other than one room that contained Rikken, and a few people she didn't know. Tila had known Rikken for some time now, but she was not so sure of the others. However, she assumed she'd be introduced to them soon, for it appeared the man was handing out uniforms and carrying out the procedure upon them. Standing up, she stretched, before wandering off, bare-footed, to get a glass of water from down the hall. With all of the machienery going, it tended to get quite hot in that little room.

Shay watched with interest as nobody was springing at the chance to be cut up. "Well dont i feel stupid now!" She muttered as she looked around. A person had dropped into the armoury, who was undeniably male even though a majority of his face was covered. She twirled one of her pistols on her index finger, swinging it around in a few loops before sticking it back into her holster.

She looked down at herself, examining how her suit looked. "Well, i have seen better." She whispered to herself with a smirk. The material was like a second skin, fitting her just as well. Well, she sure could be a useful distraction! "Eh, what the hell..." She heard Taryn say, and she looked over to see him sit on the operating table. My, he was brave now, jumping up when everyone else sat down. Even if she had only known Taryn for a short period of time, she was quite fond of him already. He was nice, brave, and quite handsome too, but she instantly stopped her thoughts in their tracks, a new idea coming to mind.

What was the real reason they were all called in for? This must be one bad ass spy if they had to recruit more than a half dozen people. She found herself staring at Taryn, and tore her gaze away to look at her guns instead.

[Rikken Omnious]

As Taryn laid down on the table Rikken injected him with the anaesthesia and began the operation absentmindedly. He tapped his neck twice. "Tila, can you get the mission feedback program running ASAP," He said as he finished inserting the last plug into Taryn. "Ok, I guess that all of you then. As I know that the rest have thier's already."

Zetsumi meanwhile had disappeared from the group. Tila had got up from her seat and gone to get a drink he followed silently behind her, like a shadow. As she bent over to get a drink from the fountain. Zetsumi creeped up behind her and put a cold hand on her shoulder. "Long time, no see Tila." The reaction could be that she jumped three feet in the air. This was also another one of his favourite past-times.

Rikken noticing that the rest of the group had already suited up and aquired their own weapons. "I guess I'll get my own then." he said as he disappeared behind the wall that lead into the armoury. He walked the hallway that the others had walked and stopped at very end at a old dusty locker that looked as though it hadn't been used in a while. Written in a now incomprehensible scrawl was the name "Rikken". He reached out a hand and grabbed the handle. Slowly he opened it. There was a cracking sound as the door, obviously from rust broke from the rest of it. Inside was a long black case and two smaller ones.

He removed these and a set of keys from the wall. He back out and said to the group. "Ok follow me." He walked though an enclosed hallway and emerged in an underground parking lot. Various military vehicles were parked here, including a tank. Rikken led them towards an Armored Personnel Carrier. A tracked vehicle that was very large inside and square on the outside, easily able to fit about ten or twelve people inside. Rikken put the three cases inside. Took the drivers seat and put the key in the ignition, a low rumbling could be heard as the vehicle sprung to life. Rikken shut the hatch on top. The back door was open. "Climb on in and make yourselves comfortable." Instructed Rikken over the noise of the machine.

[Akans]

Jayin had dressed silently and efficiently while the others were turned around. He didn't really care if they turned around, privacy was all bullshit. When your in the army, you dont have privacy. Everything you own you carried in plain view.
But the others didn't turned around. Whatever. All the better. Not like they would have seen him in the corner.

Rikken started to leave, and Jayin followed, but not before his eyes snapped to one gun on the wall. He had already strapped up dual pistols on his thighs, and a combat knife and even smaller emergency gun hidden in various parts of his body, but had yet to decide on a main weapon.
This was perfect.
Black and sleek, its barrel flowed gracefully downwards, and melted into the grip seamlessly. It was some type of battle rifle, and Jayin picked it up, expertly flicking the various knobs and switches in the gun. Two fire-types, full auto and 3 round burst. The barrel was slightly longer than normal, and the whole thing was painted matte black. Very nice.

He lifted it. Slightly heavier than what he was used to, but that was okay. He was strong, and he could move fast.
Rikken continued outside, calling "Ok follow me." as he did.
They walked through a hallway and entered some sort of parking lot. Military vehicles were everywhere, and Jayin itched to go over and check out some of them, but Rikken instead led them to a boring APC. Whatever. He would have time to check out the other vehicles later.
He got it as Rikken instructed. Where were they going now? All the introductory stuff was neat, but pretty slow...

------------------------------------

Still lying at the wall, Sleif watched as everyone was finished, and started to follow Rikken out of the room, and towards the area full of the military vehicles.
Standing away from the wall, Sleif went along the many cases and shelves full of the different types of weapons, armor and equipment.

After a few seconds, Sleif stopped and slightly smiled as he found the case he was looking for. The one with his name impeded into the side.
Flipping the catches, Sleif opened the case revealing his own equipment, which he instantly proceeded to place onto him.

Included with the equipment were, Sleifs two single action armies and his giant jack knife for close quarters combat.
When finished, Sleif closed the lid before flipping the catches down shutting it tight, and then followed the others into the area.

Looking ahead of him, Sleif could see Rikken showing everyone what they would be traveling in. Opening the door, a few of the people were still looking at the large vehicle, and so Sleif decided to be the first to climb in.

Walking past everyone, Sleif climbed aboard the vehicle, before taking a seat on the far side of it, waiting once again for everyone.

[Sora_Rox_My_Sox]

Shay watched eagerly as people began to doubt the work of Rikken. So many questions were thrown at him, yet he only answered one in a most basic format. As soon as Taryn was done with his operation, Rikken commanded everybody to follow him. They sure were moving out fast, but the sooner the better. She checked to make sure all her weaponry was in place; her Riot dagger in her boot, both machine pistols holstered on her waist, and her assualt rifle and submachine gun across her back. "Check!" She whispered as she mentally ran a list through her mind. She also made sure she kept some ammo around her belt too.

There now seemed to be another female present in the group, who she thought was named Tila. She didnt seem like much of a fighter, more of a hacker or computer whiz. She would have to talk to Tila sometime soon, but now was not the time.

The group proceeded towards an underground parking lot, filled with tanks and other armoured vehicles. Rikken hopped into the largest one and beckoned for them to follow. A few people were already in the vehicle, but Shay was waiting to make sure everybody was coming. "Lloyd and Taryn! Ya coming?" She said to the two men as she climbed nimbly through the back door of the APC. She took her own seat on the side, casually lounging in it. She was going to relax before she got any action on the field.

[DarkenedWings]

Alex hadn't talked to anyone. He followed everyone to a large vehicle. He leaned against the side of the vehicle and closed his eyes. He yawned and raised his hands, tightening the mask.

[snowdog]

"Tila, can you get the mission feedback program running ASAP."

Tila's earpiece buzzed with the message from Rikken as she walked along, her pace slow upon the rather rough, evidently worn out carpeting.

"Got it," she replied through the minimalistic microphone clipped to her white vest-top, before leaning down at the cooler to get some water. It seemed as though things were running smoothly.

A cool hand hit her shoulder. Dropping the cup to the ground, Tila glanced over her shoulder, the racing pace of her pounding heart slowing to a stop as she recognised the face before hers.

"Long time, no see Tila."

"You never change, Zetsumi," she murmured, half-irritated, though half-pleased to see him. It had been a long time, too long, in fact. Pushing her fallen glasses up her nose, she smiled, before speaking. "So how have you been? I thought that was you with Rikken, and the others, but those images are so fuzzy that I wasn't sure."
