audio | un: carolina | team locked to alpha + beta

[leaderboards]

Alright, everybody, listen up! Beta's on their way out and we need to move.

Alpha, I need you all to wreck what you can. Make it loud, make it messy, try not to kill any teammates in the process. [ which is to say, if you're going to blow up anything (and she really hope you will) make sure none of your friends are nearby. ] Beta, I don't care which one of you has the relic, but if you clump together and the Trilk get it back, mission failure's all on you. Everyone's running decoy and distraction here. We need it. We'll rendezvous in the shaded valley due south and if you're not there in half an hour, we're leaving you.

[ unless it's the poor sap with the relic, or someone manages to coax a few more minutes of sympathy into her. her voice doesn't give much room for it right now, but she just wants to get everyone moving to safety asap. ]

Got it? Thirty minutes starting now. Sync.

( ooc: take place immediately after this is successful. tagging free for all, threadjack away unless someone marks a private thread. )

[ It feels like everything has gone to shit. Has it?!?! From the explosions and yelling in the background of his feed, it's entirely possible. Lee hopes the whole frakking base collapses on itself.

Just. You know. As soon as he's completely out of it. ]

Couldn't double-back the way we came in and had to find an alternate route. Those Trilk are crawling from every frakking direction. Feks are coming in, too, trying to get the Relic. No question about this being messy.

[ They are probably all gonna be frakked. ]

[leaderboards]

[ typical, really. why would this have gone well? there's a frustrated grunt from carolina as she kills whatever's closest to her, but then she's back with her attention on lee. ]

We'll block entrances from the Feks from out here. But you getting your team's asses out of there ten minutes ago is your priority.

[aploun]

[ Because this was just doomed from the start. ]

Anyone ever tell you you're kind of bossy?

[ NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THIS. HE WANTED TO BE OUT THIRTY MINUTES AGO! ]

After this, I'm gonna need a stiff drink. (a sigh over the comm,) Don't look for me, alright? I'm out helping to clear a path for you and the kid.

—Any sign of Hayatori? Fucking ninjas.

[aploun]

I think we're all going to need more than one, Sombra.

[ In fact, he's planning on having his mouth get incredibly intimate with several bottles of any alcohol he can get once they're back on the Eluvio.

Because they're all getting back to the Eluvio. ]

But no— [ There's sounds of a scuffle, Lee cursing wildly then an alien screech. ] I haven't.

[tenkofan]

The point is to go unseen.

[Just to make it clear that he's a) still alive b) on track as much as any of them can be under the circumstances and c) listening in.]

[realimperfect]

Oh go to hell! If this mission fails because you've left than the failure is on you! [ She's out of breath from running, and there's a too loud sound that sounds like she's resorted to her old faithful of the short barreled shotgun. Thankfully she's gotten used to the whole being attacked in small quarters thing when trying to escape from Romdeau before it fell out of the sky so to speak, so after she takes a moment to grunt after hitting a wall, she'll fire again. ]

If you haven't got the back for this kind of shit then stay off recovery missions and stick to the military posturing, how's that?

AUDIO, UN: ░░░░░░

[doxing]

Oh shit, Re-l got real on your ass, hahaha!

(EATS THIS RIGHT UP, enjoying the cackling laughter over the comms.)

[leaderboards]

[ sombra was this necessary? ]

Look ladies, my mission was getting you here and escorting the relic back to the LZ. I don't need to have the rest of you with me.

( audio | un: kxunit )

[k_2so]

There will be someone out here waiting for the last of you. If they leave or not. Just get out alive and we'll cover from there.

If you die in there however, that is a different answer. ,small.[So, hurry up. Also, if Cassian is one of the last out he will for sure sit there and wait while knocking out targets.]

( audio )

[realimperfect]

Understood, K2-SO. Thank you. [ She's doing her best to get the hell out, and soon. After all, she's got the Relic so there's no reason to hang around. But, now her challenge is to stay alive and bring it to the rest of them. ]

AUDIO, UN: ░░░░░░

[doxing]

Cálmate, Carolina, or you're gonna die with frown lines.

(you missed this voice (no). she's actually en route to alpha's position — already minutes ahead of the rest of her team, thanks to ditching them with the relic. there's no way she's going to just skip out on a firefight. it's at a crude side entrance that she pauses, image shuddering, waiting for her thermoptic camo to activate.

then she's just a scenic blur of enhanced speed.)

I think it's time for a light show, friends.

[leaderboards]

[ carolina just catches a glimpse of that as she's trying to get a visual on the rest of the group (and if they're all still moving or not) and... okay, damn, she's impressed. speed and camo are her favourites. ]

Are you showing off now, Sombra?

[doxing]

That's not showing off.

(so carolina's nearby, huh. well, her ultimate is almost charged, so things are going to get pretty cute for alpha team in her fifteen metre area of effect.)

This is showing off— (camo dropping, at the centre of warring trilks and feks, her arms cross over her chest and whip out in an eccentric demonstration of her main ability:) ¡Apagando las luces!

(light show promised, she certainly delivers, the electromagnetic pulse bursting forward like a viral wall of debilitating energy. heavily-modded guns in the hands of trilks crackle, armour on feks shuts down leaving them immobile. they've got time now to have some real fun, raising her machine pistol.)

Wanna join me?

(a spray of bullets over audio.)

[andreios]

[ Ah, chaotic guerrilla warfare. It's like being on Caprica and to a lesser extent New Caprica all over again. ]

Lucky thing I got my hands on one of those mines then, huh?

[ He's already moving toward a place to detonate it. ]

Roger that.

[leaderboards]

Put it somewhere fun for me, Sam.

[ she'll be keeping an eye out for his explosion, that is to say. ]

[andreios]

I'm thinking somewhere in the middle of this group I just spied. Maybe cause a small landslide while I'm at it.

[ The shitty thing about having taken an injury to the leg is that he isn't nearly as effective wounded and with his suit's integrity compromised as he could be. But Wash is nothing if not professional and determined.

There isn't an instant of hesitation or a note of discomfort in his voice when he responds. It's all calm confidence. ]

Sync. We got this, boss.

audio; private

[leaderboards]

Copy. [ and thanks for the sync. it makes her feel better, if only slightly, to be reminded that a few people here know what she's on about.

but she hasn't seen him in a while now and after dispatching the fek that had been trying to sneak up on her, she opens a private comm channel to him. just humour her and worries for a second. ]

You still in good shape over there, Wash?

audio | un: blackbird

[tenkofan]

Noted.

[Yep, that's it.]

not a real tag tbh

[leaderboards]

[ this is honestly all she needed. you keep doing you, hayatori. ]

(audio: un: kxunit)

[k_2so]

[Sounds of shooting, precisely taken. A calm metallic voice simply saying.]

I'm not leaving until all are out. [or, more like... Cassian is out. but still.]

[leaderboards]

Then you'd better help make sure they all get out. [ cassian will be fine at least. maybe the others. eh, they're all doing their best. ] Can you scan for lifesigns? And distinguish between us and the locals?

[rumbling]

[ He's annoyed by everything about this mission. Why are there so many of these aliens??? It reminds him of the Covenant and that just leaves a really, really bad taste in his mouth. ]

too much talking.

[leaderboards]

[ come on maine, you couldn't even give her a sync? dick. still, her tone with him isn't really angry, just carolina's usual sniping sarcasm in battle. that hasn't changed, at least. ]

Some of us like to communicate what's going on, Maine.
