Raven Squad (An Eccentric Military / Spy - Fi RP)

Su-Cheong

One of the reason why Su-Cheong requested for a private cabin inside the arming room was her infiltrator suit. The built-in health monitor of her suit would only function in optimal capacity when the fabric directly touched her skin without any hindrance, so was its moisture and temperature balancing features. Su-Cheong approached the corner while she tied her ponytail into bun, quite away from the other squad member and locked herself inside that private cabin. She took off whatever she wore that night, put them in a laundry basin, and let herself slip into the black-colored infiltrator suit. A single push on the wrist-interface forced out all the air and quickly fit the suit tightly to Su-Cheong’s skin. “Ouch!” She flinched when the mechanism squeezed her rather sensitive soft parts. Regardless, the suit still allowed her to move with maximum degree of freedom.

Su-Cheong noticed the console monitor in the arming cabin. Her request for upgrades had been granted. The young woman tested the promised specification and awed by how her body looked almost invisible through the optical camouflage. Regardless, her head was still visible; Su-Cheong noticed the added fabric that she could use to cover her whole head, fully camouflaging her appearance. This was enough for her mission Su-Cheong believed, but she rarely conducted her missions without testing her assumptions. She took no risk of possibly breaking the delicate material of her infiltration suit, though the specification said that it had been applied too, along with the fluidic shock absorber.

That was when her standard military gear came along. Some times before conducting missions with the Raven Squad, Su-Cheong had familiarized herself with the standard gears for light infantry; one which rangers or special forces had been issued to have. Camouflaged shirt and trousers quickly worn on top of her infiltration suit, along with a pair of boots. Austrian alps, the commander said, so a combination of arctic and mountain camouflage would be fitting, Su-Cheong supposed. This also included her body armor, with enough protection to cover her whole torso and allowed for some degrees of mobility. She attached some ammunition pouches and immediately moved toward where her weapons were kept.

Almost all of Su-Cheong’s weaponry previously had their origins from a Belgian manufacturer. She decided to have these all based on their versatility and modifiability. The commander said this was going not to be an urban mission, so the pair of PDW-handgun with the same type of ammo was out of question. Su-Cheong also put her thought of carrying her DMR, but it was now currently stripped. She had no other choice than her bolt-action sniper rifle. Its last barrel configuration had not been changed, so Su-Cheong slip some spares of the Lapua Magnum magazines into her ammo pouches.

Indeed, Su-Cheong still needed to have possible close encounters with the enemy, and that was the reason she still put her PDW into the variable, complete with the red-dot sight and suppressor. So was for her combat knife, she slipped the edge on a v-shaped metallic surface, honing it for the last time before she holstered it. Her eyeball-sized micro-grenades of flash, smoke, and high-explosive also came along in 2-2-2 configuration, all fit inside a palm-sized container she clamped on her belt. She brought along some spare ammunition for her PDW too, the armor piercing 5.7 inside the magazines. Some timed charges might be necessary, so Su-Cheong brought a couple, enough to fit all the packs clamped on her belt. Indeed, all the ammunition she carried were not the common ones. Su-Cheong put a mental note that it might be necessary for her to adapt herself mid-mission in using whatever the enemies would likely use.

Su-Cheong had never been away on missions without her RC drone-camera, her multi-channel goggle, and her scoped rangefinder. All the necessary hacking software she needed had been included inside her smartphone. Also, predicting that this mission might get extended to several days, Su-Cheong brought along the survival pack she always kept it prepared, along with mountaineering equipment, especially axe and crampon. All packed inside the backpack she would be able to carry as she trekked the mission area. Su-Cheong needed to use her RC drone sparingly since the Armory had yet given the necessary optical camouflage to keep it unseen. Having only her infiltration suit to have such feature, Su-Cheong would have to keep any surgical approaches being close and personal.

So there Su-Cheong walked toward the vessel that would carry the squad into their mission area. She kept all her things to require neither of her hands to carry, except for her sniper rifle. Su-Cheong walked herself toward the open ramp of the VTOL aircraft and put her hips down on an empty seat. Seeing that her teammate were not on standby for a briefing, Su-Cheong put her mental state into a meditation she always do at the start of any mission.

The alcohol she was meant to sip had not yet entered her bloodstream, Su-Cheong still had the clarity in her mind. “This is my role in this universe, I shall do my best for whatever the moment shall present itself regardless of the outcome, my success will result in the greater good for mankind at best, my failure will result in my death at worst, and in my death I shall be liberated from one episode of life, life and death are the same and I shall not be attached to one nor be afraid to the other.”

"Dollface, ready to commence the mission."

Being grateful with her saviors, Kitra took five silvers from her purse and paid them in hope to help reducing the infamy she gained during the previous incident at the tavern. Kitra also walked toward the half-elven maiden. "Me get ten golds, you get ten golds; then that freaky cleric who likely have just got kicked from the temple, he may be useful and would like to do this job with us, also ten; and for whoever shot that dart and missed, also ten if he shows up and agrees to go with us with this term, what say you?"

"Oh right, of course there are another ten golds, I'd suggest we use them to buy some stocks of Middenburg Trading Company, we'll take it later with each getting equal shares from total, profitable or not, what say you?"

Su-Cheong

Earlier that day…

One thing that Su-Cheong would routinely do after her morning exercise had always involved a pencil and her private notebook. She took some couple of hours to read her own history, her own opinions on the matter she had faced in her life. Su-Cheong also routinely checked her emotional reaction every time she read past the ones that made her feeling uncomfortable. Sometimes, she managed to keep herself steady, but when her memory put some strains in her emotion, Su-Cheong would contemplate and add some future note in her attempt to accept it. It always began at the spot in her journal when she was 16, quite an accomplishment for one to graduate high school very early, with good marks and a university acceptance letter. Su-Cheong put a mental warning sign at that point so she would not get trapped into regretting and wondering what kind of good life had been taken from her.

The journal then passed to the note of when Su-Cheong was kidnapped, brought to live among the crooks and forced to do some dirty works. Two and a half years of getting involved in their perverted business around the world had ended with one full year cooperating with the international police. Su-Cheong had a clandestine work of giving the law enforcement some necessary evidence required for the court to press the gangster hard enough and cease their operation. They managed to utterly disassemble the gang, but not without the collateral damage which was Su-Cheong herself. The traumatic torture she received around six years ago required a half year of physical and mental therapy to heal; and Su-Cheong could never be fully restored back to how she previously had been.

This time, it was rather difficult because Su-Cheong thought that she had long passed her fear about the incident that returned in her nightmare. With her hand covering the scar on her abdomen, and clutching it rather tightly, Su-Cheong took a deep breath. The journaling session of this morning turned out to be counterproductive. It was not the first time for her to get the drawback from her coping attempt. Fortunately, the young woman already had her experience in handling such situation. When the mind becomes incapacitated, it is time for the body to take over.

Su-Cheong reached a wall console and decided to rise the vibe inside her room. An advanced kind of search engine allowed her to find a playlist with music of particular beats and tempo she needed to keep active while also stay rested after her morning exercise. With all the furnishing getting folded and hidden into the wall, her room became a private dance hall. The carpet flooring even rolled itself, all that was left was again the mirror, extending itself to cover one side of the wall. Su-Cheong could look at herself moving around her now spacious room as she slowly danced. A widely open window on one part of the wall exposed Su-Cheong to the outside world. Someone outside might take a peek as she danced, but she didn’t care.

Su-Cheong started slowly, coming with the rhythm from the music she played. She chose her current session not to follow any certain style, she wanted to be free and liberate her mind through physical motions. Her feet made some little taps and jumps, her shoulders had some flicks, and the circular movements of her arms were moderately kept. Su-Cheong’s smile grew from her lips as her confidence built up as she looked at her performance in the mirror. She then realized her possession of the physical feminine assets and exploited them in her next movements. This reminded her of the sessions she had in entertaining the mob boss, a calm between the storms she had in her past. Regardless, she felt genuine in doing so right at this moment, expressing her femininity not for any means to deceive or seduce in order to take advantage from anyone.

Years training and various deployments had not taken away the grace in Su-Cheong’s dance. An unlikely opportunity, she always thought, when during the final part of her therapy months, Su-Cheong was given a special pass-card by her shooting instructor. Impressed by the result of Su-Cheong’s effort to gain legal certification for firearms possession, the instructor had told her to show that pass-card to any military recruitment station around the country and challenge herself to survive their program. Seeing this as an opportunity to reborn herself, Su-Cheong accepted. The young woman immediately got transferred into something that she only knew as a joint military program consisting of recruits from various country worldwide including, mainly, NATO.

Thus, that was when Su-Cheong began her four-year training and eventually had her two-year deployment. This program was quite specialized which eventually made Su-Cheong realize that her regimens included the optimized program from combining the various special forces trainings around the world. Among the few selected were her squad mates, forming the composition of Raven Squad.

Refreshed by her dancing, Su-Cheong regained the clarity of her mind. This is her place now, among the Raven Squad; the selected few of skillful folks with some degrees of peculiarity like herself. She had been quite detached, seeing the nature of this assignment might risk someone’s death; or even her squad-mates were likely have something in their past that made them not fit that much for friendship. Su-Cheong had been holding this belief for long, but after this last assignment, the young woman began to enjoy their company.

That evening…

Su-Cheong felt a little bit guilty when she somehow interrupted the fiddle play her commander performed. Of course, she understood about the logistics and maintenance components this base had as its support. “No mean to disrespect, Ma’am, it’s just my brain had its own stream of thought about the potential breach of security and could probably compromise our future operations, coming from some loopholes of the peripheral support system we’re having…” Su-Cheong said that quickly responding to Skye, “but I’ll keep that for sometimes in the future, no pressure, Ma’am.”

Seeing how her commander might get concerned with the issue Su-Cheong raised pushed her to cool the situation down. She put a smile on her face, and widened it into a grin she made as cute as possible. “Oh, hello, miss Zemyr…” Su-Cheong distracted herself from the possible sharp gaze she assumed she was getting from Skye and everyone else in the room. “We’re celebrating now... grab ourselves some whiskey maybe?”

Everybody in the room likely knew already that Su-Cheong very rarely took any booze, especially during evening parties. She always hated the morning hangover.

I'm writing for my IC at the moment, another background exploration for the readers and maybe add a little more interaction with other characters; not going that far from the current set

Raven Squad (An Eccentric Military / Spy - Fi RP)

btw, how long does it usually take for one without military background to get qualified as a special force operator and assigned for missions in such nature? Maybe also what's the youngest age ever had such degree of qualification?

yea, I'm asking about the non-classified ones, of course :D

When Multiverses Collide

@Dark Cloud you plan on using CS or go wild like on the other Free one?

Raven Squad (An Eccentric Military / Spy - Fi RP)

@Gunther I'm interested, some part of the story I'll post might involve my character to have some bouts with a simulated AI robot in the training room (or NPC, or even minor character I'm controlling, I don't know if I can add one @FourtyTwo); but maybe we can have some exchange of practice bout with our characters. Su-Cheong will be the one learning, or rather dominated lol.

How do you think the narrative structure gonna work for that? I mean, our characters will move in sequence based on the response of the opposing party. Su-Cheong might gonna jab and hook in three parts at once, followed by a knee strike, then a throw and maybe a submission, but that won't work if in mid-combo, her opponent manages to counter or evade.
