[Massive Infiltration Plot] || [Semi-Open]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters: All the characters who signed up for this infiltration, too many to write them all here. Characters who stay behind and do not infiltrate can tag into the mingle thread.
Setting: The Cafeteria, then the Elevator's Shaft and finally the Administrative Floors. The 29th of July, in the morning.
Format: Action most likely.

Summary: A month ago Ganondorf planned an infiltration to go and pay a visit to Riki's floor-- Given what has happened these last weeks, the 'Evil Alliance' has accepted to allow Enoch and the people he gathered to use the infiltration in order to do their own thing. Namely, retrieve scientific instruments from Jason's laboratory, so as to study the Collar Fluid. The infiltration will begin on the 1st floor, the Cafeteria.

The first thread is a traditional mingle thread, happening before the infiltration and briefing begin; anyone can tag into it. The second thread is a quick briefing before the infiltration starts, where Enoch and Ganondorf will explain to everyone what to do and what to expect in case they don't already know. Then there are the seven group threads, one for each individual team infiltrating.

The OOC post is here for more information. If you have signed-up but didn't pick a group yet, please do so here. While the infiltration takes place, the villains who stayed behind are unleashing a distraction on the tower and those who don't go.

Warnings: Administrative floors, danger, death, horror. Anyone tagging here is probably going to die, or at the very least meet with a terrible fate.

[Ion doesn't have to be told twice--not when there are no other options. Not when this chance will likely never come again. He takes one look at the distraction Sheba and Dark Pit and Xion have altogether caused and bolts to toward the hallway to the right.]

Luke! Let's go! [He tries to sound strong, like he knows what he's doing, as he calls to his friend over his shoulder and hopes that the redhead follows.

The Fon Master doesn't have time to be tired. He'll run with all the energy he has to give and more, if that's what he has to do. And even if it doesn't account to much, he'll pray to Yulia that the rest of his team can make it out as well, whether or not they take a different path; he can't afford to stop and see their decisions.]

[alae]

[Splitting up is the smarter option, and Dark Pit grudgingly thanks Medusa that she sent Pandora after Pit, since his small athletic body can take a good amount of pain. He's reaching his limit, but adrenaline is keeping him moving, so he makes sure Sheba's still hanging on.]

[He takes off running, heading the opposite direction from Ion. He doesn't know where he's going or how much longer he can last, but he's got to keep going.]

[... And, of course, deliver one last shot.]

Smell ya later!

[Slamming into the retrieval units takes the wind out of her, but luckily Dark Pit is supporting her well enough that she doesn't fall. This means she has a chance to catch her breath as he darts past Jason and down the left hallway, and as he runs she turns to stick her tongue out at Jason.]

Better luck next time!

[Once they make it a little further down the hall, Sheba shifts so that she can jump off of his back. It would be poor manners to make him keep carrying her, and she's fully capable of keeping up - she was pretty fast, and journeying to save Weyard had left her in much better shape than she'd been in while she was Babi's bargaining chip.]

You, [She says to Dark Pit with a wide grin.] Are a genius. Now let's see what's down this hall!

[ambassadorasshat]

[In hindsight, Luke probably should've helped cause a distraction. He didn't have much--well, nothing in terms of longe-range magic abilities, but he still had a blade. He'd had one hand on it soon after Sheba stepped in front of him, seeminly forgetting about it to watch the chaos after that.

Ion's presence is assumed nearby, until he's suddenly further away.]

...Got it! Right behind you, Ion!

[And he's running off down the right hand hallway as well.]

[pitiedthefool]

No time to talk, then.

[He runs after Xion's voice, evading the retrieval units the best he could as he reached for the sheathed sword still hooked to his belt. Speaking of evading...]

Odin, go!

[The large purple deity floats behind him as he runs, casting Masukukaja on the splitting up party because let's face it, they could use the extra speed and evasion boost right about now.]

[animusnpcs]

Ugh, you can't even see her, can-- [Jason pauses in berating his two retrieval units for their failure to take Xion into account to turn and see the entire group scattering in three different directions. With two retrieval units at his side and two still in the air, he growls in increasing frustration and swipes at the air to call up a floating screen, fingers tapping rapidly against it.

The lights of the floor flicker, and a computerized voice speaks: Deactivating local Glamour System...

All glamour is disabled entirely. For a moment, everything goes pitch black--and then the area is bathed in red emergency lights.]

I will not have rats wandering around! [Jason's voice sounds strained and unnatural, suddenly. There's something inhuman, rough, and muffled about it, though he certainly shouts loudly enough.]

[seekinganswers]

[One pair of rats scurried down to the right.

One pair of rats scurried down the middle hall.

And one pair of rats scurried down to the left.

Have fun trying to catch them all, Jason.]
