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. )

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?

'Course.

[ He's alive. He's considering that good enough shape. His leg's not going to support a lot of running, or walking come to that, but he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it. ]

Couple of dinosaur aliens aren't going to put me down. How are you doing?

[leaderboards]

They're too slow to do any real damage.

[ to her, at least. she's being moderately careful not to overwork her suit while she doesn't have epsilon helping her out, but the best way to keep from getting injured is always to be quicker than an enemy, as far as she's concerned. some parts of carolina are a constant. ]

You think I could get you moving to the rendezvous sooner rather than later? If it turns into herding Beta Team cats before I get there, you're my expert.

[ Wash glances down at his leg, trying to estimate the success of this venture. But what's the alternative, really? ]

You bet. Heading out now.

Acknowledged. [ a pause, then an almost gentle- ] Thanks.

[sixth]

Just doing my job, boss.

[ But it's said with a faint grin. She can probably hear that fond humor in his voice. ]
