[IC] Red vs blue freelancer roleplay

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken casually waited for the go ahead to snap the dish. Looking around for any approaching hostiles. Ken hummed a little bit, "Done yet?" She sent a radio message to Ark.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevada Ark cut open some cables and tried to short out the system. She connected a blue and a red wire together and it resulted in sparks, "Now!" Ark said through a radio message. What as going to happen was, this fail in the system would stall many cameras and shut down any communication within a 200 meter radius. Ark chuckled, this was going quite well.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken snapped the dish, "All good?" She asked as she dropped down from the communications tower; landing gracefully on her feet. Ken rolled her shoulders and pulled out her knife, boredly playing with it. "So what's next champ?"

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevada "Yes we should be good" Ark said hopefully. Ark turned on her radio "Come in Team C this is Team A over", Ark expected to her Carolina's voice but instead she heard nothing so she repeated "Come in Team C this is Team A over". All that Ark could hear was static, "Oh no" Ark said under her breath, she looked up at Ken and shook her head, they had to move fast.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken took off to the edge of the building, dropping down and kicking the glass in as she dropped into the side of the building. She rushed off to wear Carolina was supposed to be, unable to find them. "Squadron C what is your location. SQUADRON C I REPEAT WHAT IS YOUR LOCATIONS!" Ken began to panic, slamming her fist into the wall. "FUCK!" se began to pace. Still trying to radio Squadron C.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevadaArk turned around to see that Ken was gone "Oh for god sake" she said out loud. Ark leaned over the side of the building to find a window smashed in, Ark rolled her eyes Ken had her way with entrances. Following Ken's path, Ark dove through the glass and landed with a dive roll. Standing up, Ark found Ken pacing and still trying to contact Squadron C. "This is bad" Ark thought "I really hope that it's just a radio frequency problem and.. not.. you know" Ark told Ken, she was trying to have faith but if Ken starts panicking, well then we're screwed.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas "Shit shit shit shittttt." Ken took a few deep breaths to calm herself. "Okay Ken, stay calm." She took a moment to look around, the object due for extraction already gone, "Roof." Ken ran off to the elevator and waited for Ark. They both waited quietly with the elevator music as it took them to the roof. Finally the doors slid open and everyone was in the roof, waiting for extraction. "Hoooooooly shit, you guys had us worried." She chuckled.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevada Ark sighed, "Jesus Christ you guys" she said relived. Ark leaned on Ken because her thigh started to burn and the blood soaked bandage was becoming increasingly heavy, drops of blood started to run down her armor. The shuttle appeared and everyone silently boarded onto it. Ark hobbled over to her seat and with a grimace sat down. The ship took off and all was well, until enemy ships followed.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas They had already gotten a good head start, 479 driving fast but not panicked. Ken could over hear Carolina talking to 479 as they dogged a few shots. After a while the enemy pulled back and they spread off. "You really need to watch it kid, but your legs gonna be fine." The on-board medic said with a slight southern accent. Ken huffed, "Should've gotten the proper amount of sleep." Somehow Ken had found a coffee and took a sip; her helmet off and on her seat.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevada "Now is the time when your going to lecture me?" Ark asked Ken, then Ark squinted her eyes and bit her lip as the on-board medic sterilized and bandaged her wound, she could hear Ken giggling. Ark then noticed Ken drink coffee, "Dude Where you do find coffee all the time, it's like it just comes out of thin air sometimes" she joked. It was then that the ship shook again, Ark could hear Carolina shouting evasion maneuvers at the pilot as she did her best to dodge the incoming fire.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas "I'm fucking magic, I'm a coffee wizard." Ken shrugged and took another sip. "How's the leg feeling?" She glanced at the doctor/medic then back at Ark with slight concern. She didn't enjoy seeing her teammates injured it's just Ark expected too much from herself.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevada"I'm fine....." Ark said trying to sound unaffected by this "minor set back", but really it hurt like a son of a bitch. That combat knife had gone through Ark's leg and out the other side, as well with all the running she had done with Ken on the mission, it had really irritated the wound. Ark just sighed and roughly leaned back against her seat, "Tell me your secret about how your a fricking ninja, cause you know some advice for future reference would be helpful and insightful right now". I guess you could say Ark was jealous of the fact that Ken was unstoppable, and how wounds like the one she had would be like a paper cut for Ken. In reality she didn't want to look weak or have Ken always worrying about her.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken knew that she was covered in scars, mostly bullets... But they where usually hidden; giving the impression he was always good. "It's a skill, my speciality really." Ken didn't know how she did it, she just always knew where the enemy would be.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevada"Ah....I see" Ark said slightly disappointed. She wanted to learn how to be the best and have that intuitive nature that Ken had. In other words Ken was her goal, basically being a bad-ass soldier, who's attitude just screamed " Don't fuck with me ". The ship came to a halt and everyone stood up, Ark carefully stood up and used surfaces to help her walk out of the ship. Ark and Ken walked to the bridge to report to the Director, silence and the occasional pain filled grunts from Ark were the only sounds heard on their way to their destination. All the freelancers walked in, Ark stood normally trying to act like nothing had happened especially in the presence of the Director, though she was cussing under her breath. When everyone had arrived, all eyes immediately looked to the leader board.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken wasn't really paying attention she was cheating with Maine too see who had done the most damage, it was him. "Alrighty then, drinks are on me tonight pal." The large freelancer nodded and made an approved growl. Ken glanced at Ark, "Feeling alright?" Se could hear the female muttering under her breath. "I'll help you down the doctors ward after if you want." Ken offered, being the supportive teammate she was.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevadaArk was spacing out, thinking about all the things she had done well, and what she could have done better. That's when she heard Ken talking to her and she snapped out of it. "Um sure that would be great" Ark said as she looked down at her leg, she put her normal weight on it as the director approached the returned freelancers. Ark clenched her fists together partly from the pain in her leg and because she was anxious to see the leader board results. "I see the mission was a success... for most" the director said as he looked at Ark and then down at her wound but said nothing more. Ark just gulped, trying to disperse the unwanted attention she had just gained. "Well now, Councilor pleases update the board" the director said as he scanned the expressions of the soldiers.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken waited for the leaderboard to be updated; frustrated that the Councillor was taking his sweet time. With a heavy sigh she looked back at Ark, "Stop putting so much pressure on it, you don't want to make it any worse." She knew what Ark was trying to do, but acting tough wasn't going to impress anyone right now.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevadaArk just glared at Ken "You know what being on the leader board means to me and i'll do whatever I have to, to stay on it". The Councilor turned back to the group as a sign that he had finished. 1. Carolina, 2. Nevada, 3. York, 4. North Dakota, 5. Maine, 6. Arkansas. Ark turned to Ken and a smile formed at the sides of her mouth, though she was disappointed, "Congrats" she mouthed . "Dismissed" the Director said with a wave of his hand, and everyone left. Ark fast walked in and through the crowd, Ken had offered to go the doctors ward with her but Ark knew where she was going and that was to the training facility.

[AgentNevada]

@AgentArkansas Ken cut her off, "No." She growled, Ark went to speak but Ken stopped her, "Medic bay. Now!" Ken was definitely not impressed, she rarely raised her voice at a teammate; the last time she did was York took her coffee. "I don't want to hear your excuses I will you down their myself. I know you want to be the 'best of the best' but you can't do that if you heal properly, you can hardly walk." She had gotten rather snarly and began glaring at the injured Arkansas. "So let's go." She placed her hand on her hips in a aggressive pose.

[AgentArkansas]

@AgentNevadaArk looked at Ken then pushed past her, Ark limped her way to the training facility with determination. Ark could hear Ken walking behind her and she could feel Ken's eyes staring daggers into her back but that didn't stop her. "You know you don't have to come with me, don't you have something to do with Maine anyway?" Ark said somewhat bitterly, Ark was at least happy that she wasn't taken off the board but she hadn't improved so that meant that she hadn't done well enough, and Ark was going to change that.
