I turn to him and smiled at Alix in response to his growing curiosity. It made me think of how we actually look at what we do, day to day. Sometimes we joke, sometimes we’re cocky, and usually we act like what we’re in is just a game to won. A game is accompanied by laughter, fun, friends, joy. What we’re in, is war.. Something that’ll bring tears, pain, torture, loss of those friends, and maybe your own life. We know this, all of us do.. I suppose the game that we use to sometimes cover it up makes it easier to cope with. It’s the life we almost all chose to live and die with. Yes, for some it was different.. The Order was an escape, or an only option. Eventually though, we all enter the same mind with the same goal; to take down the Damned. You can grow old in this business and still not have accomplished that yet, but you’ll work and do whatever you can do make sure that some day it’ll happen.
“Here, this room.” I said, quickly stopping as I realized that I almost passed the room I was looking for. The reason I wanted this one specifically was because it has the computer screen that is ¾ the size of the wall itself. I intend to get the satellite hooked up to show them the areas I’ll need them to be, and I want to get in as much detail as possible – I find pictures just aren’t enough. I unlocked the door and stepped inside, turning on the lights that lit up one by one. The room had only the screen, a computer, and a long table that stretched from one end to the other with enough room to accommodate about 20-30 people. Yea, it’s a big bloody room, and the only room big enough to fit this screen. We would construct bigger rooms so we could have more than one, but we haven’t felt that we need to do so.
OOC- Sorry, just going to skip past about 10 minutes or so, so that we can get the meeting started :3
BIC-
By the time Mackenzie and his team had caught the elevator and made it downstairs, I had already set up and received the coordinates and the satellite images to my computer. Things were ready to go, and if I can get this explained and done within the hour, we may just be able to go out tonight instead of waiting till the next day! We still had a good large chunk of sunless hours left.. We could pull it off.
Everyone was already seated, waiting and chatting about their just passed assignment that had them traveling out of the continent. We discovered a situation going on in Europe, and figured instead of letting the closest base go take care of it alone, we’d send in some reinforcement. Why not take the opportunity for some traveling? “I thought Spark was suppose to meet us down here Mackenzie?” I asked, which was the reason I still hadn’t started yet. Spark was our ‘techy’.. The man who designs our toys and has them built in under a day. Although everyone is capable of preparing themselves with what they think is best, his opinion and input is always wanted.
“He was suppose to. Personally I would have though he’d of-” The door swung open, and you could hear the huffing and panting of Spark as he stood in the doorway.
“I’m late! I know! Don’t shoot, eh? I was in the middle of a project and couldn’t stop till I finished the last section. I’ve got something brilliant cooking! It’ll be worth the wait! The work they’ve given me from downstairs has been incredible!” He would have kept rambling on and on, if for that one second he didn’t look up at me and seen me. I wasn’t entire impatient.. But I’m not that patient either. He saw the expression that said I wanted him to sit down and listen, and after doing a gesture and a bow, he did so. Put this man two feet from death.. He’ll still crack jokes to get one more laugh from anyone around him.
When it was quiet, I walked around the table, shut off the light and using the remote, turned on the screen so that the images from my computer were showing up big, bright and clear. “This is a photo of a building that, as of only a few hours ago, is known to be a safe house for the Damned. The location was given away by a female blood sucker we captured a while back, and it turns out she was telling the truth. It’s located a good ways away from the base, in an area of town we’re not familiar with – Which is going to change. We let this one slip through us for a while now, and it’s embarrassing now that I see how obvious it should have been. This side of the building,” I pressed a button on the remote, and a new satellite photo of the building from the side loaded onto the screen, “is where I entered when I went in. Luckily it was open, and the room vacant so I wasn’t caught off guard. By now, they’ll be locking that place up solid just after they clean up the bodies of the two werewolves I took out before leaving. A small spec on how many people could be staying here. So, what do we do, now that we’ve found it? The answer: Launch a Ziptake. When that’s over, we’ll get to the real reason we need in.” I flipped back to the image of the front of the building and expanded outwards so that you could see some of the area around it. “A crap, few story building like this, protects the controls and commutations? Not likely. I want to know what’s underneath this place, and if there’s an underneath. I’ll patch coordinates into each of your GPS’s, and I want this done before dawn. We’ll leave as soon as we’re set up, and discuss the details along the way. But, we’ve done this before, nothing new..” I paused, and waited a couple seconds to see if anyone had anything to add or ask. Not surprising, Spark jumped at the chance to talk some more.
“I can have your equipment prepared within the hour, I know just what you’ll need! Also, how’d that smoke bomb that I tricked out work for ya?”
“Spark..”
“Alright, alright! I’ll get going, just meet me up top and I’ll bring you everything you need. Got any requests? Phone down and let me know before I head up.” Spark finished, stood up and left the room in the blink of an eye. He’s definitely.. Something.
“Now that that’s taken care of, get ready and we’ll meet up top to take off as soon as we can. An hour should give us enough time to group together. Mackenzie and Alix, stay behind would you both? I’ve got something for the both for the both of you.”
