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. )

[ 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! ]

[leaderboards]

Once or twice. [ a day, maybe. she just wants to make sure they're moving.

a pause, then- ] What else do you need right now?

[aploun]

[ There's some major fire power happening, causing some static on his comms. Then; ]

A bottle of whiskey and a massage. [ His voice sounds like he's pushing something heavy on the next part; ] And a frakking shower.

[ What? He's being helpful! ]

[ she doesn't bother disguising the audible sigh that goes along with the sound of her throwing something around. an alien, probably. ]

What do you need that I can give you, Lee?

[aploun]

[ Look. They got the Relic and they're on the way out. He's, like.... 30% pleased about that. Let him dream of drowning himself in a shower when they get back to the stupid ship.

Because they're getting back to the stupid ship.

So, basically, lighten up Carolina!! This could be so much worse!! ]

Some covering fire. A distraction. We've gotta get this thing away from the base. Maybe figure out a rotation so the Relic doesn't stay with one person for too long.

Got it. [ all of that is infinitely more reasonable than a shower, thank you very much. she aims high but there are some goals she's not even trying for. ]

Keep it with whoever's holding it until they get past the wall. I'll make sure we keep an eye on them past there.

[aploun]

Re-L's got it now. She's priority.

[ He's been trying to stay with her, but things happen. As that is no surprise to anyone on this mission. ]

Still don't want to die for this mission, but get her out safely first if you can.

Copy. I'll keep her in sights as soon as I see her.
