A large ork wearing a subdued black tee-shirt with jeans enter the
van. An older (late thirties perhaps) human, in full urban
camouflage, follows closely behind. The human pulls out a bag from
the van. He then reaches into the bag and hands a special headset.
The ork takes his time in getting settled. He plugs in the headset
to behind his left ear. He then unrolls a datacable and attaches it
to the van. Rubbing the dashboard, he gently connects himself to the
cable. After a long pause, the van starts. The ork sighs in
satisfaction. The human shakes his head and hands out normal looking
headsets to a series of interestingly camouflaged passengers. Two of
the passengers are wearing face paint that wouldn't hide nearly as
well as the others. One of the other passengers is a tall, slender
female. They all grab a seat on the floor with all their gear as the
one who was handing out handsets sits in the passenger seat.
As soon as the van is in motion, a man, Midnight most likely, starts
right away with his part of the briefing. "I expect us to be
outnumbered but hold a magical advantage over the security of the
building. We should use that to our advantage. I wouldn't try to
guarantee that with Death's team. In matter of fact, I expect
Death's team has prepared in case they have to take us on as well.
That means silver bullets and twisted ways of dealing with magically
active individuals. Shadowfox, pick your teammate."
Shadowfox then says, "I guess my first choice would be Griffyn, but I
understand that he has been working with Easy a lot so he might feel
more comfortable not being my partner." Griffyn nods. Shadowfox
continues, "Phoenix? I know you have some experience in matters of
being point, would you be willing to be my backup?" Phoenix nods.
"I think that Geiger will need someone or ones to guard him as well,
as he will have to tackle the elevator."
Geiger says, "I can do it alone, or with the whole team. It is
impractical for me to only have a one person guard because it
fragments the rest of the team too much."
Midnight nods. "Here's the plan then. We enter at wherever Wrecker
can drop us off cleanly. From there Shadowfox and Phoenix lead us to
the elevator. Once there, they head to the basement using either
stairwell A or C depending on our situation. They could also go
outside and to a different entrance before tackling a stairwell.
From there, they scout out the bottom. The rest of us provide backup
for Geiger, until they find the prisoners, or we can move further
along. If they haven't found the prisoners by the time Geiger
finishes with the elevator, then we will start exploring the rest of
the floor and then other floors."
Geiger shakes his head. "I'll be okay without bodyguards if we are
entering after Death has set off the alarms. In which case, once you
get me in the elevator, start exploring the first floor. Time is
going to be critical."
Midnight says, "If it looks safe, we will leave you earlier then.
Otherwise the plan is the same. Okay?"
Gunner says, "If you decide you need to move, but Geiger still needs
backup, I can do the honors. I have no doubts the Wrecker can fend
for himself without a gun toting maniac as his passenger."
Midnight sits back and thinks about it for a few moments. "Wrecker,
eta?"
Wrecker in a detached voice says, "Two minutes and thirty seconds.
Death's team went in on all entrances according to Trax. He put two
guards on all entrances except for entrance 6 [west entrance], where
there is still a heavy firefight going on. According to Trax the
entrance easiest for me to get to will be entrance 5 which is on the
south side. It puts you closest to stairwell D. Unfortunately, that
means you have deal with the lobby immediately."
---
Main line - Puppet: *Entrance 6 is hot. Death's team is fiddling
with the elevator F. Death's team is in full camouflaged combat
armor. Repeat full armor. Security seems to be using form fitting
armor.*
[5 second pause]
Main line - Doc: *Interesting. Death's team is wearing same
camouflage pattern that Midnight, Whirlwind, and Doomsday are
wearing. You guys buy from the same dealer?*
Main line - Midnight: *FUCK! Be very careful around Death's team.
He is using part of the Legion as backup.*
Midnight orders, "Wrecker, I don't care how much of a pain it is, use
entrance 3. That will put us by elevator B, and stairwell C. Lobby
is going to be too hot too soon to use as an entrance zone."
Wrecker grumbles, "Understood. ETA 40 seconds. Croaker says Police
radio is hot, but so far no interference. ETA 30 seconds. Last
chance to abort." Midnight licks his lips and looks at everyone in
the van. "ETA 20 seconds."
Main line - Midnight says, *The mission is green. I repeat, the
mission is green. ETA 10 seconds*
Shadowfox kicks off his safeties on his weapons. Everyone follows
his example. He also puts on a set of goggles, and plugs them into
the back of his head.

The van came to a stop and the fun truly began. Although as I
promised earlier [to Midnight], I can't give you a live version of
the feed. ]<<<<<
