Game On
Two days after her recruitment mission, Angela Holt sits inside a warehouse bunker in Star City. She pores over the maps of the Super-Max prison intently as she waits for the others to arrive. The warehouse was decent for tonight's purposes, but they needed a much better, much more secure facility. Belle Reve was an option, but that was too close to St. Roch and Angela didn't want to take the chance of going there and reopening old wounds.

When everyone arrives, Angela looks up and nods to each of them in turn.

"Thank you for coming. If you're ready to get down to work, we can get started." she says.

	He was doing this for his homeland, that's what Alphonse Vertigo told himself. The association--even the notion of helping some of these others--chaffed him, but he would live with it. His sainted father had endured far worse. "I am ready," he said. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Rose stood in the back, looking over who she was working with. Wait...was that her father's "adopted" kid? Oh joy of joys. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoe gave the others the hairy eyeball look, mostly because for once she knew she was at a disadvantage. She was used to being the meanest of any confrontation. She had to be to survive in the Triangle. Her well honed survival instincts told her the others were not only older, but also more dangerous. She put up a hard front and waited to hear the details.

	Merlyn arrives, his hood up and face mask on, looking somewhat like a darker version of the Green Arrow himself. When he sees the woman with white hair and his master's colors, he gives her a long look. "Fancy meeting you here." he says simply. "All right, what's the deal?" he asks.

"Glad you could all make it." Angie says, looking them over.

"Well, let's get down to it. Your first mission is going to be an extraction job. Your target is a prisoner of the Super-Max facility here in Star City. We have the floor plans of the building and the surrounding area. You'll need to get in, get your target and get to the waiting ground transportation that will take you to an airfield outside of town.

You'll get your target on one chopper and the rest of you will get on the other. We'll meet up in Charming, thirty miles south of here, for payment and getting your next mission set up." Angie says, looking at everyone in turn. She wondered how Queen and Wilson would react to their target, but decided this was best determined in the field.

"You'll each be outfitted with new weaponry to go into this mission with. I'm certain you'll all like what we have to provide for you." she says.

"First, let's get introductions out of the way. If you've got a codename you want to use, go ahead and do so."

	"Vertigo," he said simply. Both a family name and an effective code-name as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay, now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at weapons." Angie says, leading them over to the table.

Each of them will find a small electronic placard with their name on it, above a set of weapons.

Zoe has a twin-pair of high-tech glocks with laser sights that weight a little bit more than the average. There's also a small red eyepiece that looks like a targeting scope that she can wear.

"Twin glocks with a targeting scope that will make you more lethal than you already are. You should really think about a codename, Zoe. I think I know one that would suit you just fine." Angie tells her.

Vertigo finds an electronic monocle that appears black, as if the power isn't on.

"New gear for your, Vertigo. This stuff packs twice the punch of your predecessor's gear." she says.

Ravager finds a pair of steel-gripped handles that have a red button upon each.

"Energy swords. There isn't a lot they can't cut through, given time...but human flesh and most metals might as well be butter or paper for these things." Angie points out.

Finally, for Merlyn, there's a high-tech recurve bow and a quiver of arrows.

"That quiver is attached to a dimensional pocket. You /won't/ run out of arrows ever again. The force on that bow can put an arrow through a steel door, if you want it to. Right side of the quiver is regular steel arrows, the left side contains a few trick arrows that you might find come in handy." she says.

"We're of the understanding you don't exactly need help with targeting." Angie says.

	There might have been the barest hint of approval on Vertigo's stiff features. He picked up the monocle to examine it. "Most impressive, Miss Holt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2010-10-24 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"What is it? I'll think about it," Zoe said shortly, gravitating to table and the weapons allocated to her. She hefted one Glock in her hand and turned away from the others to check the sight on it. A tiny, humorless smile curved her mouth when she flicked on the laser sight. It was Christmas and her birthday all rolled into one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_misc 2010-10-24 02:25 pm UTC (link)
	Rose pressed the button on the handles, examining the swords, taking in every detail. "I am must admit, I am impressed," she said. And Rose wasn't an easy woman to impress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2010-10-24 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	Robert puts down his bow, picks up the other one and immediately knocks an arrow. He then turns and fires it at the door across the room. The arrow sinks into the wood and Merlyn grins. Yes, he can make some magic with this. "All right, Angie. Your people have some skill. I'll use this." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Angela Holt does her best not beam with pride at everyone's assessment of her work. It took a week to put everything together, give or take, and even longer to get the stuff out from under Checkmate's nose. Mom and Dad would have assigned her to R&D the moment they knew what she could really do.

"You can all inform Miss Irons of your approval when you see her in a couple of days. If you have any adjustments you need made or other gear you require, let her know and we'll see if we can provide it...within reason." Angela says.

"If everyone's satisfied with their gear, let's go ahead and go over the plans for Super-Max. Our target doesn't have much time before someone either tries rescue him or kill him, the second being far more likely since we're doing the first." she says, heading back to the table.

	"Are we allowed to know who we're springing?" Rose asked. "Or is that another piece of classified information you 'can't release just yet'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	touchofvertigo 2010-10-24 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	Vertigo considered this. "I find myself in agreement with the lady. It would not do for our target to come as a surprise to us as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2010-10-24 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	"As long as it's not a drug dealer or a pimp, I don't much care who the target is," Zoe said, picking up the second Glock to examine it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2010-10-25 12:14 am UTC (link)
	"I agree with the other lady." Merlyn says, nodding in Zoe's direction. "I don't need to know who the target is specifically, as long as I get the info needed to uphold my end of the deal...and then you uphold yours." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Your target is in Cell Block D, Bay 347. He's no drug dealer or pimp, I can assure you of that much. However, our current employer is paying a great deal of money to see this person released and feels that the fewer people who know the identity of our target, the better.

This includes me." Angela says simply.

Sure, it's not /completely/ true. She /thinks/ she knows who their after and if it's him, this could go very well or very poorly.

"If anyone wants to walk out now, simply return your weapons and go." she says.

	Rose narrowed her eyes. She wasn't thrilled that this chick wasn't telling them all the details... but she couldn't afford to be too picky. Not if they knew where her mother was. "Fine," she said. "Just tell us when we ship out and spring him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Acceptable, I suppose," Vertigo replied. The terms of this employment made such things necessary, he supposed. He had endured worse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2010-10-25 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"Let's get it done." The less she knew about targets, the less she had to tell if this failed and she was picked up. She wanted the others' names, though, and she was going to pay very close attention to them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hunters_moon 2010-10-25 01:22 am UTC (link)
	Merlyn has very little to say beyond that. He presses a button on his bow and finds that it does another trick; it compacts itself for easy storage on his back. That's going to come in handy. He goes back over to the table and looks at the plans. "So, what's our rule as far as killing?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Angela returns to the table and looks at the map.

"Glad you asked, Merlyn. Since the people at this prison are only doing their jobs, it's preferred that no one catches a body if they don't have to. If you've got protect your own life or that of a teammate, well, things happen. These people knew the risk when they signed up for service.

It's also preferred that no other inmates are set free or killed during the mission. We need this as clean as possible. The less that points to any outside group, the better." she says.

She points to an area of the map that's one mile West from the prison near a forest.

"This area here is your entry point. Once you've secured the prisoner, you'll need to get here." she says, pointing out an area northwest of the prison next to the Interstate

"Feliciana's Fish Market truck will be here waiting for you. There's space enough for two people upfront, the rest in the back. The van will go to the airfield where the choppers will be waiting. Get the target on one, the rest of you on the other. Your chopper will take you to Lodi, and you can all hit the Motel 6. Rooms are already reserved under the names you used to travel here, except for Zoe." she says.

"Your contact, Clay Morrow, will meet up with you before 3pm and escort all of you to Charming, along with some of his lovely friends from his motorcycle club. I'll be waiting for you at Teller & Morrow's Auto-Body shop." Angie says.

"If things get crazy, improvise, and don't get killed. We have reason to believe they might be using metahumans to guard the Super-Max. Here are some of the ones that may be in attedence." she says, passing around a folder with pictures.

Anyone looking will see pictures of the Trigger Twins, Metallo, Steel and Captain Atom.

"Any questions?" she asks.
