OOC THREAD
CHAR Thread

Gypsy sat in his Library, perusing some of the latest articles on Thaumaturgy. He smiled as he watched the download to his chipset nearly complete itself. It would make good reading for under the way, and it would be a long trip. Ireland of all places, at least there wouldn't be a ton of people around to bother him, it was a quiet country, and powerful in magic. Almost too powerful some would say. He packed his bag carefully as the last chip completed itself. Only one bag per person the boss had said, private jet should be big enough for more than that Gypsy thought, must be a big team going on this mission. Gypsy looks over at his Katana and Wakazashi, longingly willing it to come with him, but it wouldn't fit in with the rest of his gear, and even though powerful magic ran through it, it really wasn't needed, after all, not only was this a research mission, but the big guy usually had someone else doing security watch, leaving Gypsy to the analyzing. He picked up the weapons, placing them into the safe. It had taken him nearly 2 years to bond the powerful foci to him, and he always dreaded leaving them behind. Then he picked up his bag, and headed out the door, patting his pockets and body to make sure he had everything as he voiced out to the High-Tech security system, "Lock Down".

Jack sat in the office, a dour look upon his face. Looking in the mirror, he saw his fat bald head, wrinkled from age, gazing back at him, and heard that annoying voice in the background, "I'm sorry Mr Wilson, everything checks our but you know how it is, always someone out there trying to scam from us, we had to double check." Jack nods, his facial expression unchanging as he took the cred stick back, along with the bag of new Tres Chic clothing. "Not like I don't have all fraggin day to just stand here waiting or anything.", he replied in the most arrogant tone he could muster, snatching the bags and heading out the door as a buzzing sound started coming from the computer. The woman looked down, and started, "Err... Mr Wilson?", she called out towards Jack as he quickly exited the door. Seconds later followed by a security agent who grabbed his shoulder and spun him around, only to see that he had some mexican youngster in a similar jacket, with a shocked and almost angry look on his face. "Senor, que basa?", he exclaimed in his best spanish. "Err... Sorry", replied the guard, looking up and down the street. "My bad.", he called out as Jack fixed the wrinkles caused in his jacket and spun off, leaving the guard looking around incredulously. As Jack pulled into his apartment, he saw a message about 40 minutes old waiting for him. "Airport, 1 bag maximum, Private Jet, Hanger 168, 1 hour, no delay". Shit! he thought to himself, as he quickly grabbed his cyberdeck, throwing it in the bottom of a duffel bag, then quickly filled it with other miscellaneous geat. Lastly he grabbed 2 pistols and slid them into secret pockets on the sides of the bag, and was out the door 5 minutes later.

Security job? Trevos thought to himself as he slid on his favorite Victory Wild Hunt outfit over his Form Fitting suit. Looking in the bag, he began filling it with guns of varying sizes. "What?", he asks to no apparent person in the room. "Too heavy? ... ", he replied to himself as he decided on 3 specific pieces, leaving the rest here. " ... " Little over a hundred rounds total should get him through, and if the spirits were saying he shouldn't bring too much weight, he wasn't going to argue with them. He slid a meter long club into the bag last, and headed out the door, " ... "

Dogma nodded to Mr Whitebird, "It's no problem sir, I'll put together a team to investigate it, and we'll get there before anyone else." He replied to the Orc, as he sent the call out to the rest of the team to meet at the private hanger in 1 hour. "Be careful, your destiny is only now to begin, it is imperative that your success be complete, or all may be lost.", Whitebird says in an unusually cryptic manner before spinning on his heels and entering the private chamber. Dogma nodded, he was use to being this close to the Dragin, and knew that whatever deed he must perform would prove benevolent in the long run. He headed over to his office next to the Dragon's private room, and extracted his backpack which carried all of his essentials. It was important that he would be the first to arrive at the hanger, and complete preperations, meaning that if everyone else had an hour, he only had 15 minutes.

Rebo sat in the air, his legs crossed in the popular meditation stance, but hovering a good meter off the ground. There were 4 globes of wood circling him in some sort of oval shaped orbit, each travelling a different direction. One by one they each lit on fire creating an image of 4 suns circling the man. Suddenly they all dropped to the ground, extinguished as Rebo wavered. His feet slowly descended downward, as he stepped onto the ground and headed over to the telecom. As he reached for the handset, it rang. He picked it up, placing it to his ear. Seconds later he nodded, placing the handset back, and grabbed an assault rifle and a pistol off the wall, along with a maglock on the bureau, and placed them in a bag already filled with clothing. He slid 3 boxes of ammo on top, and closed the bag. It was a long walk to the airport, about an hour he figured as he looked out the window of his flat in the direction of the airport no more than 4 miles from where he lived. Would be good to cleanse the mind, he decided as he began walking.

Gremish nodded to his team mates, it was time for the actual event, his goal being purely to get the guys in, and provide a bit of cover fire if they had to come out fast. He placed a green finger on the wall, pushing into the platicrete as cracks began to appear. With a force that not even a Troll could hope to produce, Gremish pushed his finger right through the wall, causing it to implode, leaving nothing but a hole with a perfect 3 meter diameter, as if it had been sliced out with a laser. The other team mates rushed in, as Gremish sat on the outside waiting. That's when the call came in. 1 hour, great! Here he was in the middle of a covert run that could go bad any minute, and that's when Dogma decides to call. "C'mon guys, get a move on", he thought as he sat there, impatiently trying to decide what he'd pack, or if he'd even have time to get home, or if he'd even be able to make it to the airport, skipping home in the process. As the thoughts ran through his head, the sounds of gunfire came from within the building. "Guess things didn't go as covertly as they'd hoped", he said to himself, his voice having a high pitched squeak to it, as he prepared himself for 2 spells. Sure enough, the team came running past the hole, scurrying as quickly as they could up the hill that had blocked their entrance. Footsteps were suddenly heard following, and stopping most abruptly as they slammed into a unseen wall now blocking the exit. As if that wasn't bad enough, all senses were lost to them as a Chaotic World kicked in. Gremish walked away, seemingly unconcerned anymore as the pursuers were lost in their own void of sensory. He'd not have time to go get the gear, he'd have to go straight to the hanger. Luckily he'd brought some grenades and a shotgun for this run, they'd have to do. Besides, he was only suppose to be going as a researcher, though it would have been nice to be able to bring some books or a computer, researching with grenades would not be nearly as effective, he thought with a grin.

James looked wide eyed at the bag sitting on his bed. Sitting next to it were 6 sets of armour, and 4 pistols. And with all the extras he'd ordered on his armours, it didn't look like they were gonna fit. He grabbed the armours and started trying to get them packed. 4 suits made the bag tight, 5 might be possible, but only with a great deal of effort, and 2 prayers that the bag didn't break. That left 1 suit and 4 guns to pack, and Dogma was pretty adamant about 1 sack. James undressed, placing his Futura set on, while packing the rest. After 20 minutes of struggling, the bag was closed. 5 minutes later the pistols were sitting tight in holsters, hopefully concealed enough to get past any security. Lastly, he picked up his Cloak, a bit heavy, but worth it. he Slid it over his Futura. If security might pose a problem, he had a Plan B to get past it. He double checked that the side pockets had his Secretary and other misc gear, then headed out the door.

Slinky blinked, and stared at her arsenal. "1 Bag?!?" she thought, incredulously. There was no way in the world her gear would even begin to fit. The hands had to come of course, as would alot of the B&E gear. She began packing it as quickly and carefully as she could. That was the problem... careful meant extra packaging meant extra space meant no room. She looked at the 2/3rds full bag before adding her pistols, there was simply no room for an Assault Riffle though, she thought as she hung it back up. She placed the med stuff in, leaving barely enough room for a Cloak. Guess any armour she'd be taking would have to be worn. That left only the Chemistry Kit. "They always allow carry on luggage, surely they didn't want me to leave this behind.", she figured as she grabbed the handle of both the kit and the bag and headed out the door, firming her resolve that she'd fight to bring the kit, after all, what good is it to do research somewhere without a kit....

Sleel smiled as he started the plane's engines. He checked the drones in the back of the plane. It was terrible that the load space was so small here, but he needed his drones, everyone else would have to live with only being able to bring 1 carryon luggage. He patted "Thumper", his favorite Steel Lynx, as he checked his brand new HMG he'd installed on it. He gazed over at Hernando and made sure the MMG was hooked up. Then he walked out into the cabin, locking the door. He moved to the airlock door, opening it and dropping the steps up. Stepping out he began going through the food supplies, making sure all the bottles were full for the bar, and adding snacks. The 8 hour trip to Ireland from Denver was no small trip, couldn't go without food. Then he grabbed his bag from behind a counter and threw it in the baggage hold within the cockpit. Going over the 8 seats in the main hold he made sure that everyone had pillows and blankets, and then ordered a refill from the port's supply depot. 20 minutes later they arrived and filled him up, just as Dogma arrived.
