[Dark World Event] || [Infiltration Plot] || [Closed] || [3/3]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: The characters who got recruited to hack the elevator or infiltrate the administrative floors. Look at the tags.
Setting: The Cafeteria-- Then the Elevator and the Administrative Floors.
Format: Action most likely.
Summary: Ganondorf's true plan begins. While the annoying administrators and the heroic heroes are busy dealing with the "Dark World" controlled by Richtofen, Ganondorf and Repliku, Naoya has freedom to hack into the Elevator System and the Team led by Nesir can then use it to infiltrate the lower floors undetected. They will then divide into two teams to cover as much field as possible. Quite obviously this won't end so well.

The official purpose of the mission is to find the Control Room of the tower and the Exit Door mentioned by Ruana long ago, with the ultimate objective being to take over the control room. The truth is that it's a suicide mission with as only purpose to gather intel on the truth and how to take over the tower's control systems.

Warnings: Nearly all characters here are deeply anchored into the Dark Side-- Probably only Ryoji isn't. And the odds to meet one of the administrators while in the lower floors are pretty high, so all the warnings?


Contacted Characters
All characters meant to come will have somehow been contacted and told to come- By either Ganondorf, Naoya, Sephiroth or Nesir. Indeed, each of them will either have been directly contacted in person or will have received a mail in their mailbox (or in their dorm if they have no mailbox just yet).

The transmitted message pretty simple, to come down to the Cafeteria floor, March 5th before mid-day if they have enough of the tower and want to take things in hand personally. There are no particular instructions, except that they must not fear death or the administrators if they decide to the Cafeteria. And obviously, utmost secrecy has to be kept.

[great_king_of_evil]

((This thread is for the eight characters in the infiltration mission when they enter the hacked elevator and what ensue.))

[culbutiri]

[Well, here they were. No going back now, smirking and trying to look a lot more confident than she felt, Nesir stepped into the elevator.]

[neverbeamemory]

[Sense of deja vu or what. Sephiroth paused for just a moment to consider this before entering the elevator. A lot sure had been revealed, to ALL of them since that chance opportunity he had taken off his own back. There was no more Dax. Who knows what they could have changed around down there...

There really was no having second thoughts now, Ganondorf has put a great deal of effort into this plan with it's accompanying distraction and it wouldn't do at all to get cold feet at the last minute. Besides, the more one could get the opportunity to explore the admin levels the more informed one could be. It was worth more than dying for, even with the risk of soul exposure and/or experimentation.

With a silent nod to Nesir, he moves into the elevator to let others enter.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji tries his best to look brave as he enters the elevator, though it's obvious that he has no idea what he's gotten into. He looks around the elevator, clutching at the top of his scarf nervously. He hopes he can be of some sort of value, even if he isn't sure about the plan and the people he's instigating this plan with.]

[neverwrong]

[Mello walks into the elevator with purpose. This is what he's been waiting for since he arrived. Though his heart races with the anticipation of it all, and his teeth leave indents on his chocolate bar as he nibbles it nervously, he otherwise doesn't let on what he's feeling.

If anything, though, he's excited. He hopes he comes face-to-face with the administrators, or with some of their precious equipment. As far as he's concerned, the closer he gets to the people keeping him captive, the closer he gets to finding a way out of this mess.

At least, he tells himself that that's the case.

He settles into the elevator, dragging his tongue over his chocolate to let the taste of it smooth over his tongue. The monotonous action calms his nerves, and the sugar keeps his mind sharp. Both are things he desperately needs right now.]

[isthatashortjoke]

[Veigar didn't know what nerves were, what fear was... not anymore anyways. Not after he had worked so hard to surpass anything that came to challenge him.

There was little that could do that in the first place.

With peace of mind and malicious glee, he entered into the elevator.]

[bloodright]

[It would almost certainly be a suicide mission, Vergil had accepted that, but he didn't like it. But then, he wasn't one to have second thoughts. The opportunity to gather information was more than enough. He had no intentions of taking over or helping the rest of the tower, only to plan his own emancipation. So he steps into the elevator as if it were any other, sword in hand.]

[animusnpcs]

[After a few moments, the elevator speaks. Rather, a smooth probably fake female voice speaks.]

Please speak your desired destination.

[There are buttons, but as this elevator is typically not used to go into the administrative levels, they would only take them to different regular areas of the Tower.]

[notayoungkitten]

[Ocelot didn't speak, she glanced around at the group in the elevator. Silent. She was going to die, but but that hardly mattered to her right now.]

[isthatashortjoke]

[Veigar looked around a bit bored. Seemed like a pretty easy enough task so far, but then again they were just starting. Soon as they went to where they needed, it'd be a race to find the appointed locations. He'd just wait till then.]

[neverwrong]

[Mello joins the others in looking around. Hearing that voice only solidifies the reality of what they're going to do. Though he's well aware that this is a suicide mission, he can't bring himself to back down. He has to see what's down there, even if he has to die to do so.

And a part of him almost wants to die, just to see if it really is possible to come back to life again. It's stupid and reckless, especially after he saw that video of the soul being recycled, but if Mello doesn't experience death firsthand sometime soon, he fears he might go stir-crazy. Better sooner than later, right?]

[neverbeamemory]

[After all this preparation it would be his luck, no - their luck that whatever hack their techs had tried to implement wasn't going to work.

Sephiroth draws his gaze over the team stood waiting and then out of the open doors in the direction of Naoya. If he were still there, that is.

How long to wait until they'd have to consider other means to get the lift to descend...]

[culbutiri]

[Nesir blinked, she had never heard the elevator speak before, she had taken to using it to get around a bit more, just so she could get used to such things.] You do be taking us to the administrative levels.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji glances at Nesir. She at least looks confident in what she's doing. Would the elevator 'listen' to her though? All he could do was cross his fingers and hope things went alright.]

[animusnpcs]

[The elevator doors slide smoothly closed and begin their descent. The trip takes twenty minutes before it opens out into an empty meeting room recognizable as the one Dax and Ruana were seen in, although it's now repaired.]

[notayoungkitten]

[Ocelot steps out after a moment, hand on her side. She doesn't move to draw her gun, but she remains very tense as she looks about the room.]

Audentes fortuna iuvat.

There must be something here, in this room.

[neverwrong]

[Mello finishes his chocolate while they descend. As they approach their destination, he crumples up the wrapper and puts it in his pocket, then he pulls out his gun. He doesn't cock it or otherwise make a scene of holding it, remembering Ganondorf's earlier words of caution, but he can't allow himself to wander around the administrative levels unarmed.

The sight of the room where Dax was killed sends a bout of retroactive nausea through Mello. He licks his lips and swallows, tentatively making his way out of the elevator.]

Could be the center of the administrative levels. [He keeps his voice low, just in case.] Looks like a meeting room, so it's gotta be easily-accessible by all the admins.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji looks over at Mello and tries to subtly summon his own weapon, though, with it being magic, it's more distracting than he hopes. Still, he'd prefer to be armed as well, seeing how things went last time they were down here. At least he's avoiding transforming until they're in a serious battle.

He moves out of the elevator, and even though he's visibly nervous, he does his best to be a leader as he was meant to be, looking over the table and chairs for any sign of the earlier chaos.]

[culbutiri]

[Nesir has one dagger drawn and held low, ready in case anything attacked them. The room made them frown but she wasn't surprised it was in a perfect state.]

Be looking around quickly, we may be finding something, then we will be splitting up outside the door.

[She began looking around the room as well, not touching anything in case it triggered an alarm.]

[notayoungkitten]

[Being in this room disturbed her greatly, but she nodded at Nesir just the same. The girl was young, but obviously no fool. Even without knowing her, Ocelot respected her greatly.]

If there's anything to find, it's probably hidden away.

[And she wasn't about to try and trigger an alarm.]

[neverbeamemory]

[Well now wasn't this an intriguing little twist. It just so happens that to whatever extent the hack has worked, they have ended up in the room where most in the Tower had viewed Ruana's last big meal. They sure tidied up well, but then Sephiroth knows that already from that incident a while ago in the Infirmary.

Even without Nesir's prompt, Sephiroth had already stepped from the elevator and was circling a wide perimeter around the conference room table. Eyes carefully observing the surroundings, sticking for perhaps a second longer on that one spot. He hadn't known or trusted Dax anymore than the other admins, but cannibalism was one hell of a way to absorb a person.

Still no sword in hand just yet; being such a large weapon it might cause more damage than good in a room like this. Besides, if any of them end up in a position where they need to be using weapons - it was probably game over already. Sephiroth had not encountered any monsters last time.]

We could tear this room apart with our eyes, or we can move on. We have ground to cover.

[bloodright]

[Vergil steps out of the elevator with his sword still sheathed in one hand, nonchalant. He looks about the room briefly, but quickly decides there's nothing more to see. What happened in it is of no concern, and even if it was, thinking on it would do nothing.]

He's right. A meeting room is just that, they will keep nothing important here.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji looks at everyone, still trying to get over his nerves.]

Then let's move on. We need to hurry and find what we came for.

[Frankly, he's not saying so just to be a leader, but because the meeting room honestly freaks him out. It still has the smell of death in it, no matter how well it was cleaned and repaired.]

[morituramfides]

[Jin had stepped out of the elevator a while ago-- though he didn't have any weapon drawn himself, at the moment. The meeting room didn't really irk him like it did the others.]

Seein' as this place is already cleaned up, I doubt there's much to find anyway. People don't usually keep the good stuff directly connected to the door.

[He steps to the side and scrutinizes the wall a bit as best he can, but beyond that, he didn't pay the rest of the room much mind.]

[animusnpcs]

[There are three doors--one opposite where they came in and one on the walls on either side of it. For now everything is quiet; it doesn't sound like anyone's nearby, at least.]
