Arc II Final Log B: Mother's Child

[savmods]

Who: Mother (awar) and the team that signed on to help her.
When: September 24
Where: The Ingress Complex
What: A rescue mission
Warnings: Violence, body horror, and more. Label your headers!

A grudge against your former captors. An obligation to repay a debt. An investment in the well-being of young children, or a desire to see things to the end. Any number of reasons might have brought you here, to the side of the woman who gives no name but her role. Mother's interests are anything but secret, and as calm as her outward demeanor might appear, the bonded can sense the trembling rush of emotion seething out from underneath her skin. Desperation. Loathing. Even the smallest fraction of something that might have once been fear.

It's been too long. It's been much, much too long.

But it's time for all of you to see your promise through.

Mother will be present throughout events, though only NPC'd in the last thread. That thread will be tagged on an approximate 24 hour basis by the NPC journal; as many players as want to may comment in with their own actions in between. If the schedule needs to be switched up, we'll let you know!

Ah, just like the good ol' days.

[Cayde mutters, perhaps not sure if he's wistful or could rather do without. Maybe half and half.]

I think we're lucky we made it in one piece! There's gotta be another ride somewhere. Ghost, with me.

[The floating AI at his shoulder gives something of a nod before vanishing with a brief sparkle of light into the Exo. He already had enough time being separated from the little guy, not about to lose it again.

He won't ask how the girl knows they've got company on the way, but then again, it may as well be a given for their less than stealthy arrival. As Snake gets the hatch, he nods, bringing up his handcannon, giving it a twirl before he grips it firmly.]

[handofrapture]

[The Big Sister doesn’t speak to her compatriots—hasn’t spoken at all since they met. The psychic(s) among them may be able to feel her thoughts all the same, a storm of well-practiced rage and… satisfaction. This is familiar, this is right, this is what she's for. The sentiment goes unexpressed to everyone else, though she’s anything but shy now that the door is opening before them. She shoulders to the front of the group, one hand raised at her side, though without a weapon. Even so, those standing near that hand might notice a peculiar heat suddenly swirling in the air…

The first sign of adult life that appears on the other side of the hatch will be met with a hurled fireball before the hatch is even completely open.]

[yondu]

[There's fighting starting, and Yondu doesn't seem particularly alarmed yet. He passes a glance to the hatch but doesn't get involved just yet. He casually continues the lockdown.]

[Once that's done, he pulls back the lapel of his coat and waits to see how the others are doing first. He wants to fully get through and see what's on the other side of that hatch before acting.]

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

[Zer0 had stepped to the back of the group when the fireball shooting turbo-chick had muscled her way to the front of the line (cool trick by the way, hard to go wrong with fireballs), and had readied his rifle. As soon as the hatch is fully open, he takes aim,]

Opening fire.

[And does just that, firing once he has a clear shot and dropping some poor sucker outside. Don't worry kids, he's a pro at this. Nobody's getting shot in the back. But he might inadvertently be using some of you as meat shields.]

[chaoticluptral]

Alright! That's pretty sweet!

[Lup seems awfully pleased at the sight of Zer0's gun. She's seen them before on other worlds but they're still something new and exciting to her. This one doesn't fire as fast as the one she and her brother had played with so there was no point in counting the shells but it was still impressive nonetheless.

In response, she rolls up her sleeves and pulls up her wand before adjusting the wizard hat on her had.]

As I like to say but I've only been able to say it once so I'm glad to say it again: "let's light them the fuck up"!
