out_of_time: Jack running with a gun (We're running out of time!)

You won’t take me, you won’t break me,

WHO: The Dependables.
WHERE: Iron Crown, caves on the south side of the island- Dolvanian territory.
WHEN: Forward-dated to early morning on the 1st of August [Dolvanian time].
WARNINGS: Violence, possibly. Scratch that, probably.
SUMMARY: Welcome to the Iron Crown island. The sun is just coming up, the air is clear and windy with a chance of flurries, and the thermostat reads as too damn cold. The team arrives on the island, sets up camp, and conducts reconnaissance of their target. Last-minute plans and problems develop.
FORMAT: Paragraph to start, anything afterward. Two threads here- one for settling into the camp and one for taking a discreet look at the target.

Jack took his first breath of cold Dolvanian air as he felt the effects of Zatanna’s magical teleportation pass over him. In the blink of an eye the team had gone from the East Coast of North America to this desolate rock in the Pacific. It was a hell of a trip, but they had no time to be disoriented.

“Let’s get this place sorted out,” he whispered. “Geddoe, start setting up a camp. We need to do a perimeter sweep to make sure no one’s around, then get the parachutes out to make it look like we airdropped in.” As he talked he was already shucking a heavy black bag off his shoulders and zipping it open, taking out supplies. “Once we’re set, we’ll do an initial recon of the target.”

The mission was on.

One of the first things she had started to miss about her enviro-suit was that the temperature outside had rarely effected her when she'd been contained in it. She frowned to herself, settling deep enough into the caves that some of the chill was blocked out by the stone walls and pulling out her shotgun.

As she'd promised Jack, she was practicing the movement of loading and re-loading, popping out the shells. If something ended up jamming, she wanted to be prepared. It was tedious work, and her purple drone hovered next to her to provide her with a more familiar light (but unfortunately little heat).

"Well, at least I'm not sick yet." If she gets a cold when they get back, though, she's totally going to be blaming Jack.

She shrugged her shoulders, putting down the shotgun in favor of warming up her own hands in the mittens she'd brought. "What about you? Get plenty of rest and carbohydrates last night?"

Sitting down near Tali, she smiled and started to go over her own weapon. While she might not feel the cold it certainly did and she didn't need it malfunctioning on her out here.

"Feeling ready for this?"
gofortheoptics: (Human - snoozing)

[personal profile] gofortheoptics 2012-08-01 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
"As ready as I'm going to be until we get some intelligence on this place from the ground. Satellites can miss to many things for me to feel confident until we've got as much information as is available."

She smiled in return, though, even if she was feeling a little drained by the cold.

"What about you?"
newbvampire: (I guess)

[personal profile] newbvampire 2012-08-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
She shrugged a little. "A bit annoyed I have to hang back and support all of you from a distance. I'm used to being the one that kicks in the door for something like this, but I can't really do that without giving us all away."

Geddoe wasted no time or words. His pack contained the tents and all their spindly fiberglass poles - he would have preferred something sturdier, but the ability to collapse them and sink them in the sea within minutes was going to be more important. They should all have enough blankets and sleeping bags to stay warm, at least. He slung out the coated fabric and allowed anyone who wanted to help him set them up - one for a meeting room/kitchen, one for quarters. If anyone complained about going co-ed, he had a stock of displeased looks to give them. Even with as many women as were in their team, there was no time for delicacy and modesty. A blanket could be hung for privacy if needed but they didn't have room for multiple tents.

The last touch was a wind-breaking screen to be erected closer to the mouth of the cave that would offer them some comfort as well as camoflage, as it was made to look like brambles. Loose rock and rubble was brought over to anchor cables, block lines of sight from outside, and serve as makeshift furniture. Had there been enough living or dead foliage around, Geddoe would have sat down and cobbled together some camp chairs, but he had to make do with what they did have available. Supplies were kept further back inside the cave, away from wind and weather. Lights also had to be kept far behind their screen so as not to reveal their position. The veteran captain stalked around the camp double-checking the preparations to make sure nothing was out of place, sure he covered everything but open to assistance if someone noted something they forgot.

Geddoe gestured across the way. "Far side, downwind, removed from any chance of contaminating food supplies. There's actually a natural channel in the rock," he noted, "that runs downward and I presume out to another outlet. I took advantage of it." He fixed Jack with a look that was part smirk, smart wisdom. "Seeing as there will be no digging in this rock. It's been a while since I've had to cobble together a camp in these sort of surroundsings."

[Scatty was miserable.

She was dressed from head to toe in black as befit the mission, but there wasn't enough clothing in the world to keep her from cringing away fro the cold and the damp. And he'd picked a cave. Scathach would have preferred to be almost anywhere else. But it was secret, safe (for the most part), and close to their objective. The redhead sat near the fire, arms wrapped around her legs and chin resting on her knees, doing her best to not look as awful as she felt.]

You look as miserable as I do.

[The little purple drone hovered next to her, clicking in agreement. She was still sure it was somehow angry at her for not being able to take it with her on the mission, but -- well, it would just have to deal.]

[Scathach glances up, her cheeks red from the cold. She nods, just inflating the misery in the immediate vicinity.]

Glad to know I'm not the only one.
gofortheoptics: (Human - lecturing)

[personal profile] gofortheoptics 2012-07-31 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[In all actuality, she could slide back into her enviro-suit -- but that seems unfair to everyone else freezing their butts off, and it would also give her less time to get this body used to the cold for the actual action.]

I'm just hoping I don't get my first helping of frostbite in this place. The sunburn was bad enough.

When you were capable of being intangible, the environment wasn't that much of an issue, all in all.

Kitty was clad in a black variation of her white ~costume~, which felt slightly odd but still, it was necessary. She was the one closer to the opening of the cave, as she kept an eye on the waves and whatever else might be out there.

[personal profile] newbvampire 2012-08-01 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Seras wasn't in a command position here, but she still couldn't help wanting to check up on the rest of the team. Also it gave her an excuse to talk to some of them. She hadn't even met most of them before, not that it mattered. If Jack asked them to be here then he trusted them to do the job. So she'd do her part to make sure they could. If it also satisfied her curiosity about them and killed some time who did it hurt?

"You should go rest up for tonight. Snyway, there's nothing out there. Trust me, I'd see it if there was."
prydes: (Default)

[personal profile] prydes 2012-08-01 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
"You can?" It was more out of actual curiosity than doubt, since Kitty saw nothing.

"I'm used to work on little sleep, but I'll get some rest soon anyway." A pause as she looked at Seras. "I'm Kitty."
newbvampire: (Smiling)

[personal profile] newbvampire 2012-08-01 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm Seras, it's nice to meet you. And yes, I can see that far. There's a reason Jack has me covering everyone from the tower." The scope on the rifle was completely unnecessary and was only there to keep up appearances.

Kitty got on with it and made her way out of the caves; she wasn't going to phase unless it was absolutely necessary, which might be sooner than expected if she found security measures close by.

(ooc: let me know if this is okay)

[personal profile] prydes 2012-08-01 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Kitty surveyed the place, brain racing for strategies. "Not if we give them something to shoot at", said as she pointed a thumb at her. "Get me something big and hollow, and I'll have them firing at something for long enough to let you guys run. I can always phase through the ground and join you later inside."
