[OOC] Code of the Burned [FULL]

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn Um, Elissa was waiting next to the door before you guys got there, if you didn't catch Roman's post.

[RomanAria]

@Dragonite777 Thank you for catching that before I did. I had to go feed the dogs.

[SimplyJohn]

@SimplyJohn Um, Elissa was waiting next to the door before you guys got there, if you didn't catch Roman's post.

@Dragonite777

Patch was already in the garage, he went there at the end of the previous post, before Owl headed back to pick up her equipment. :)

[RomanAria]

@SimplyJohn Oh dear. I'll correct my post, then. I apologize for misreading that. It's not a big correction, in any case.

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn Ah, ok. Sorry, I guess I didn't catch that part O.o

[RomanAria]

Okay fixed. We're good to go, people.

[Avanhelsing]

I'll make a quick post saying Jack walks into the car and such.

[RomanAria]

@Avanhelsing, go to sleep and reread that when you come back. It doesn't make sense. Also, no acknowledgement of Elissa's request?

[SimplyJohn]

@RomanAria@Dragonite777 I think it was more my fault than anything. The entry was a little loosely written which easily caused the confusion for everyone.

Also, Patch is currently riding the high of his wake up pills and he will have calmed down by the time we reach the warehouse. His current manic behaviour is entirely drug induced and should not be viewed as his normal personality. A mixture of manic depression, alcohol abuse and access to medicinal substances tends to make some people a little unstable. :)

@Dragonite777 Just to check, with Patch's habit of distributing narcotics what are the chances that one of the people at the warehouse would be a customer of his, probably indirectly via a dealer in one of the local night clubs?

[RomanAria]

@SimplyJohn Oh good. I shudder to think of the consequences if that's his usual persona.
Also, I went off of the whole "stealing drugs" thing? I wasn't sure if you were hinting that it was Ellie, but it seemed vaguely logical. She's the only one of them who would still need large quantities of pain meds, it seems like.
And finally, why do I feel like both medics have too many personal issues to sort out to ever help someone else?

[Genni]

He was actually hinting it was Condor, and that she'd been doing her own field medicine patchwork after training, but since it fits with Ellie's character better I think it's best you run with it.

[RomanAria]

@Genni Oh crap, sorry to interfere. It just seemed like the kind of thing Ellie would be doing.

[SimplyJohn]

...why do I feel like both medics have too many personal issues to sort out to ever help someone else?

@RomanAria

A good field medic is hard to find, and they wouldn't have been burnt unless there was something seriously wrong with them. In Patch's case he'll be sharp and levelheaded during the missions, even if he goes off the rails whenever there's any downtime to be had.

[Genni]

@RomanAria No worries, it was just going to set up a throwaway comment she was going to make on order to establish her independent nature a little more. After all, unlike the rest of the team Condor was never a member of an official organisation and has only ever had the loose support of allies of convenience. She's not used to having so much backup available to her, or having comrades-in-arms at all.

Her gung-ho attitude is partly due to the fact that she's usually wiping out all witnesses and disappearing in the madness that follows rather than letting other people cover her escape for her.

[Genni]

@Dragonite777 Just a quick thought, are the team wearing trackers of any kind for Archangel to monitor their movements, are will he be relying on use to give him updates on our positions and progress throughout the mission?

[Avanhelsing]

I'm so confused. I have no idea what the hell is going on.
I added a line about the request.

[Genni]

I'm so confused. I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Behind Closed Doors:

Kheshig dropped Condor and Birdseed off in the middle of town and they then walked to the flower shop together while he drove around to the back dressed as an electrician. Condor's currently waiting to hear from Kheshig to know when to start the distraction in order for Kheshig to enter the property under the guise of repairing some sort of fault with their systems.

Surprise:

Patch, Turpin and Owl are currently driving from the safe house to the warehouse full of weapons, where Turpin will sneak in and plant explosives while the other two act as back-up and cover for him.

Overwatch:

Archangel is back at the safe house, providing tactical and communications support via the radio to both teams. He provided some intel on the warehouse,¹ but will also be providing updates during the mission as they become relevant.

For your part Jack is currently reviewing the intel he has on the building while riding in the car² and should be looking for ways to infiltrate the place without the on-site technicians spotting him.³ You should feel free to write up the arrival at the warehouse anytime you like at this point, since 'Team Threeway' is in position and ready to go as soon as Kheshig reports in.

EDIT: Since Condor mentioned that it was 'just after three in the afternoon' when 'Team Threeway' left the safe house and it would've taken about an hour for them to get to town we can presume that the time is around 16:15-16:30 in-game right now. Which would give Jack about four and a half hours of daylight left (presuming the story is happening in May that is.) :) I made a backhand reference to the time in my post by stating the shop assistant was clearing the display stand, since at that time of day the flower shop would be preparing to close.

You can pretty much ignore anything that gets posted by @Skythikon, @Dragonite777 or myself since we're on a totally different mission and Jack wouldn't know anything about what was happening to them unless Archangel informs his about it.

Just to check, is 'Fox' Jack's official callsign, or just a nickname Owl uses for him?

_{1 - Archangel: "I got a 3d layout of the area for you guys and a number of cameras on the ground floor. it seems that most of the people are technicians so keep those gun shots to a minimum."
2 - Patch is driving, Jack's in the passenger seat and Owl's in the back seat.
3 - On 'Team Sneaky-Sneaky-Boom' Patch is carrying a medical kit and a single pistol of unknown make concealed in the back of his pants; Owl is carrying two pistols of unknown make, one in a purse and the other tucked in her belt; Jack's got 'his stuff' from the safe house, no mention has been made of any weapons yet but we can presume he's equipped with something to defend himself with.}

[SimplyJohn]

@Dragonite777 Is there any chance of promoting this girl to GM? I think she knows more about what's happening than even you do!

[RomanAria]

I second. @Genni for Co-GM.

[Genni]

Oww gawd... this is what I get for being good at something, responsibility!?! I'm gonna go back to being useless again, at least I won't have people's virtual lives in her virtual hands then. :p
