Robert nods, and leans against the wall.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Wilkins nods, and then takes a breath.

"Alright then. Any more questions, or can we get on with this?"

[Remuthra]

"On your orders, sir."

Joe will trade in his anti-material rifle and pick up electronics gear and perhaps some sort of jammer for this mission. Maybe it'll block the alien weaponry.

[kj1225]

Aedan goes to get his equipment.

[GentlemanRaptor]

((You guys are mixing up your names a bit here...Anyone else want to swap out equipment? Just post anything man-portable within reason and you'll have it at mission start.))

[Again_Dejavu]

Precision tools for cutting and burning through walls.

[Remuthra]

In that case, I'll also take high-explosive ammunition .

FOUR DAYS LATER - SPACECRAFT TROOP BAY

After a few days of basic suit training, it's finally time to launch. Outside the ship it's a sunny Florida day, and the Cape Canaveral staff have no idea that the payload they're about to launch may just be responsible for the future of the planet. Inside, however, everything is white and sterile, as bright lights reflect off of immaculately polished surfaces. Earlier, as you approached the spacecraft, you noticed that it seemed a little off-like the space shuttle, but not quite. Then you remembered that it had been equipped with rejiggered ASAT missiles for space combat, and all of a sudden the weird bulge on the bottom made sense. You rode up the elevator disguised as crew, and your combat suits and weapons were brought aboard as part of the cargo payload. You changed, strapped your helmets on, and are as ready for takeoff as you'll ever be. In fact, you can hear the canned voice coming over the speaker now...

"T-minus five, four, three, two, t-minus one-"

You miss what comes after that because the throttle engages and the ship lifts off. It feels like there's an elephant doing its damnedest to break your rib cage, and that feeling lasts all the way to orbit. Finally, it lifts, and you can move again. You have some time before weapons check and FTL ignition, so you may as well use those suit radios you trained with to blow off some steam.

"I always wanted to go to Florida. See Disney world. Go to Miami. That kind of thing."

[GentlemanRaptor]

((You guys busy? I can table this, but I really don't want it to die.))

[Remuthra]

A bit. Maybe we're just made taciturn by the enormity of our mission?

[GentlemanRaptor]

((Anyone other than Remuthra still watching/around? I'm not going to continue if the interest has died out.))

[kj1225]

((Yeah.))

[Parsely]

((Still watchin'.))

[Salsacookies]

(Still interested. Throw me a message if I don't post enough, I'll make time for it then. I probably thought it was dead
