Across the country, distress signals went out to all the various groups, asking for assistance in a remote large group of facilities in the territory known as the Great Plains. While the messages were altered and stylized for each faction, they all held the same coordinates. Of those first to respond were individuals already conducting investigations in its direction. While most of the Rogues, Barcalow Knights, USMP and Rangers received the signal and prepared to head out, Law Enforcement officers were already heading in that direction. From the southwest the singular rogue Wild was also heading there, both teams tipped off from recent investigations into warehouses found to be controlled by Tesla Industries.

The compound itself was rather enormous, composed of several buildings with an olive-drab color. On each building the logo of Tesla Industries appeared. The parking lot for the entire area was abnormally empty as the first officers arrived in the main lot. Reports came in that others we're arriving within the hour from other directions. As Law Enforcement moved to secure their area, Wild arrived in a different area near the Law Enforcement staging area. Hiding his 'cycle, Wild moved on in to the facility.

(OOC: Ok everyone, it begins now. All I ask is that before you start, make sure to do this at the start of your post: Name, Power Armor. Rangers, Rogues, BK, and USMP should be arriving in their posts. Otherwise, have fun!)

Name: Wild
MPA: Crossbone Gundam X-3
Faction: Rogues

Heading towards the main building where Law Enforcement's staging area was, Wild approached as he moved around them without getting their attention. It took a good ten minutes before finally reaching the side of the building, away from their line of sight. Firing the scissor anchor from his waist armor up to a window ledge, Wild slowly climbed up. "Damn...really wish....Angel was here...This is her specialty...not...mine!" muttering to himself as he scaled it.

A day ago...

"Angel, I won't be back as soon as I thought. There's something I need to check out."

"What? You found something dangerous didn't you?"

"Not sure, probably though. I'll contact you when I'm on my way back, or I'll give you a meet-up point outside of the Mideast Territory."

Present

Short and to the point, but he had anticipated trouble. The fact Law Enforcement responded so quickly to the distress signal worried Wild. Given this was Ranger territory, they would have gotten here faster. Either Rangers were busy elsewhere, or Law Enforcement found something out as well. "Not enough time to dwell on the matter anyway, here's hoping I find out who it was that attacked me." And with that, Wild entered into the window, adjusting his cloak but keeping the weapons to his side for now.

As Law Enforcement quickly arrived, Lucas Klein groaned at the thorough checking he received as Grant Krauser arrived. Flashing his badge, he activated his armor and strolled by his compatriot. "Mind a little help here?!" Lucas yells out to Grant, who shined bright in his white armored Bertigo.

"Nope, next time remember to show your identification first kid," Grant yells back, as Lucas was finally relieved, grumbling to himself as they approached the facility. As they walked up to the building, a pickup truck arrived at the facility, carrying with them 4 orange and white armored officers. Thanking the old timer, Hiromi's squad approached the other two Gundam PA officers.

The action around them began to intensify as Law Enforcement prepped the charges, and as the two Gundams and Hiromi's team did a final check, the doors were breached.

Elsewhere...

The Rangers were surprised at how quickly Law Enforcement had responded, as if they knew something their group did not. Scrambling with their Power Armors and SUVs to the facility, they took a different approach at one of the smaller side buildings. Of the few to respond, Jack Verse in the Akatsuki ran along the road. A few vehicles drove by as well as a few other Rangers joining in the trek. The few that were low in numbers picked up the Rangers traveling on the side of the road, Jack included.

As the Rangers saw the presence of Law Enforcement, they took it upon themselves to move to the side to gain entry at a different point. Scrambling to respond, they hastily set up as they looked up in the sky to see USMP Ospreys and Night Ravens arriving at the location, taking up another point. "Oh....shit..." was all Jack could say.

"We need to hurry up and breach the facility!" someone yelled out as they ran to the smaller building.

With the USMP...

Clint was able to get past most of the checkpoints for Law Enforcement, but upon the final one, their cover was finally broken. The officer was not amused, but with that the USMP forces began to arrive, what little that could be spared. The unamused officer directed them to where USMP was gathering. As they drove around, Clint noticed the Rangers' staging area as they scrambled to the facility, deciding on what to do.

With the USMP themselves, the few squads that made it prepared their charges to breach.

Finally...

The ones with the least presence, the Barcalow Knights were quickly moving in, however they lacked most of their vehicles to be able to go through Ranger territory. The exception was a lone Line Breaker that could be spared. As Apollo Langely approached, the Line Breaker team recognized him as one of theirs and picked him up to get to the final point. Using their own tank as a battering ram, the few inside rammed through one of the building's walls and opened up its door inside, as the few inside poured out, activating their armors.

Rogues...

Simon Cobb found a way to sneak in to the center facility before the others breached violently in. Blitz was designed for stealth in mind, and this was no exception. Keeping the Colloid off, Simon traveled through the facility, looking at notes that made no sense strewn across the floor as he approached a large opening inside the facility, looking down on one of the floors as he noticed movement below.

Wild looked around at the mess of Tesla Industries. He had a bit more time to search before the chaos approached outside. Still, the items he was finding yielded nothing. Heading closer to the main part of the facility, Wild moved to the first floor, looking around to see if there was anything of interest. As he stood there, an explosion ripped through one of the nearby doors as Law Enforcement poured in. "Freeze!"

"Oh damnit!"

(Everyone is about ready to breach or has breached. It's up to you guys from here what to do, if you're going to move inside or prepare to fight outside.)

Keeping his back turned and the cloak around his body, it kept Wild's arms out of view of the Law Enforcement officers. Moving his hands to combine the Zanbuster, Wild turned his head to look back at the one who spoke. "Sorry, but I'll take my chances with the Knights and Military," Wild states, refusing outright the offer to deactivate his armor.

Turning around, the targeting sensor deployed over his right eye as he fired above their heads to cause some debris to fall above their heads. Using the quick opportunity to take cover at a nearby desk, Wild groaned at his next course of action. Ripping off the beam shield emitter on the left arm, Wild quickly searched through the IFF codes, hoping he still had the old Ranger codes. "I'm an ex-Ranger damnit!" Wild yells out as he goes through the IFF codes and transmits the last code he had from two years ago. If this didn't work, he was going to fight the hard way back.

Guess the old codes still work...they really need to work on updating them. Seeing the Quin Mantha approach, his sensors indicated to be an actual Ranger. "Sorry for the confusion," Wild states to Kristal as he reverts the code back to his Rogue status. "I'm an ex-Ranger, used to work with them 'til a year ago. The name's Wild," continuing as he stands up, clipping the zanbuster to his side.

"Think I ran into Law Enforcement just now, don't know how they lost me though. Anyway, what's your name?" Wild asks, looking over the armor she wore as several mobile bits floated around her. Remembering one last look, the eyepatch sensor retracted back into its socket.

GM OOC: I will be locking the thread in 2 hours time (6 PM EST) to prepare for the next summary and post to move things along. Also I'll be posting this later on in the main site but I will say it here as well, the RP event is going to go further into the week. This will not be preventing any actions in regards to the rpg actions. Hope you all enjoy!

Storming through the facility, the Barcalow Knights small team suddenly got bigger with the Rasveht's deployment of the Mobile Bits. As Apollo took charge, he took a brief note of what the team consisted of aside from himself and the Rasveht. Most of them were nothing more than generic Gundams, looking more like the older Gundam that appeared 50 years ago than current contemporaries. The only exception was the one artillery power armor, painted in darker colors with much larger cannons on its shoulder. "Rasveht team you have point. And...Calamity, cover the rear. Move!" Apollo orders as the other Knights responded as they quickly advanced through the area, following the corridors.

As they advanced through, Ann couldn't help but feel that the latter theory was more and more becoming true. "It's odd, it's too clean, too neat for a distress beacon. If Tesla needed help, there should be scorch marks, a sign of battle, something," Ann comments, as they continued their pace moving towards the heart of the facility, descending downwards.

Outside, more Barcalow Knights started appearing with their tanks, with a second Line Breaker arriving, this time much more distinct from the rest as it was painted in a pure blood red color.

USMP Front

Inside the facility, the Dark Falcons took to the lead of the USMP teams that entered. More of their forces stayed outside with the Ranger presence that was there. The Military and Rangers certainly didn't agree with one another for sure, but both sides had responded to an all-frequency distress signal, so for the time being the two sides had agreed to a temporary cease fire. Whether or not that would keep up inside was up for debate however.

Following through, the Dark Falcons continued their trek as the lead team of the military. With only three of the four together, Dakota continued retrieving data as he kept radio contact with the rest. "Clint, something interesting came up. I just looked up the records of the Mobile Suits being produced here and something is odd," Dakota reports, as the others temporarily stop.

"What is it Dakota?" Leola asks, asks Dakota streams the data over to her, however slowly it was coming in. Quickly sending it from her armor over to Clint and Jimmy, the data poured in across their network as they analyzed the info obtained.

"Wait, this isn't right...Gundams are just repeating themselves over here. Is this some kind of data error?" Clint asks to Dakota as he checks over a few sections.

"No sir, I did several integrity checks, but there's no corruption."

"Dakota, meet up with us now, inform Command we're getting in further, we're not alone at all!" Clint orders before closing the comm channel. Moving with a sense of urgency, the three continued further in, marking the way for Dakota to quickly catch up to them.

Law Enforcement...

Losing track of the Rogue that had briefly appeared, and the sudden blip of a Ranger and disappearance, Lucas continued further on. "Grant, Hiromi? Is your equipment working properly? I just had a Ranger appear and disappear," Lucas questions on the comm channels, advancing through deeper in the facility.

"We had it appear too. Did you fire on a Ranger down there?" Grant responds back, as Hiromi's team investigated through the terminals of Tesla Industries.

"No, it was clearly a Rogue."

As the two conversed, Hiromi's squad downloaded data after data, trying to crack what they could. "There's a lot of encrypted data here boss," JP comments, banging the side of his helmet to try and make it go faster. "Yeah, a bit m- wait, something came through," Amber responds, sending out what she found to the others in the squad.

What came up in their HUDs was garbled video footage, but what could make sense showed combats against several armors throughout the country. Amongst the footage showed both Grant and Lucas in their earlier investigation of the Washington D.C. facility, another deserted one somewhere else, and highway combat against military forces. What caught their attention though was the second facility and the highway combat, both showing the same power armor fighting in two different locales. What didn't match though was the date, they were too close.

"What the hell? Grant, Lucas, we just cracked some video footage. We got the same power armor, not flight capable, in two different locations. The problem is the timing, it doesn't match up at all," Hiromi comments to the two, as Grant starts moving to where Lucas was.

"Hiromi, get your squad and head out with us. Lucas, wait for us. Don't act alone," Grant orders, as the MP Zeta squad and the Bertigo moved to meet up with Lucas.

As Hiromi's team packed up their equipment and advanced following the Bertigo, Grant couldn't shake the funny feeling that a trap was in the works for them and whoever else had responded.

Simon Cobb...

His stealth actions certainly paid off. Despite not being the first to enter the facility, he was much further in compared to everyone else. Silently thanking his Mirage Colloid, he noted the battery life of his armor he had left. The Mirage Colloid equipped as part of his armor certainly paid a heavy price, draining away large chunks of his battery supply.

Having already locked out one door, Simon continued his advance deeper into the facility. Descending downwards, he didn't notice nor really care to check what kind of interference he could get. He was running solo, why would he care. As he made it through a final hallway, he emerged to see an underground testing facility. Noting several doors and passageways, he could hear some noises as he took up a position in the shadows. Not wanting to waste any of his battery unless needed, Simon took his position, biding his time and waiting to see who was coming.

Wild and Kristal Hawkins...

Taken by surprise that the Gundam PA in front of her wasn't a Ranger but a Rogue, she readied her weapon in surprise and fear, however the person in front of her remained calm and affirmed his status as an ex-Ranger. "Kristal, it's my first combat sortie," she states, calling back the funnels to the storage.

"Right well then. You're not out to shoot me since you're not a Knight, so might be good if we stick together. I'll keep you covered as well," Wild says, motioning for her to follow him. Nodding her head, Kristal took position behind him as Wild moved on ahead.

As they advanced through the facility, Kristal looked on at the more experienced armor in front of her as he moved and checked corners. Wild held in both hands the zanbuster and the Murasama Blaster, as they continued their movements until reaching a door that was shot out. "Well, this is going to slow us down..." Wild mutters, before detaching the buster gun and igniting the zanbuster, driving it into one of the hinges.

"Gonna need some help on this one Kristal," Wild says, as she follows suit eagerly. With sabers in hand, and the funnels launching out, Kristal made the task much easier as she cut down the time needed to open the door.

"...What made you an ex-Ranger?" Kristal asks, as Wild focused on the task at hand cutting out the secure hinges and locks. "We ended up on a disagreement...rather not continue any further," Wild says, occasionally checking over his shoulder. Finally knocking the door down, the pair descended further downwards.

"Rangers, we're going further into the facility...rangers?" Kristal states over the comm, only to get static.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm getting interference...."

"That means-" Wild starts, before hearing noises further up ahead, consisting of inaudible yelling. Both break off into a sprint and reaching the hallway, they entered the underground facility, and were met with a surprise.

Meeting Point...

Shortly after Simon Cobb arrived, he witnessed the Knights, USMP, and Law Enforcement all arrive on the scene. With the Knights were Ann Gillars's squad of Rasvehts, Apollo Langley with the Reborns Gundam, and the squad of Gundams that came with them on the Line Breaker, pointing their rifles at the Law Enforcement group. The Calamity stood with its launchers pointed at the officers. With the Law Enforcement stood Hiromi's team of MP Zetas, Grant in his Bertigo armor, Lucas Klein in the Victory Gundam HEXA, and two squads of Nemo power armors officers they ran into along the way. Their rifles were pointed right back at the Barcalow Knights, the two groups' disdain for one another becoming quite apparent.

In the USMP group, the Dark Falcons had their weapons pointed at both sides, along with 3 squads of GM power armors, trying to keep them from shooting one another. With Wild and Kristal's arrival, the Barcalow Knights and USMP split their attention further on the newcomers, some pointing at the newcomers and others pointing at the current arrivals. As Wild and Kristal activated their weapons, pointing at the two groups, Law Enforcement's own attention was further split as they pointed their sets of weapons at USMP and the pair as well, as everyone yelled to stand down.

Hiding with his Mirage Colloid active was Simon, reading the battery level as the timer for how much time left on the supply counted down. Simon silently observed the Mexican Standoff, watching to see who would make the first move or if anyone else was coming.

As the Quin Mantha advanced, its deflection system hard at work sending the stray beam weapons back, the other sides tried to attempt to fall back to the paths they had come from. As the Barcalow Knights lay down their covering fire, the Rasvehts went back down the hall first, their rifles at the ready. Standing shoulder to shoulder, all six fired their beam rifles down the hall repeatedly, and in mere moments Blitz was forced to decloak and protect itself with its shield. "Damnit!" Simon yells out as the second lancer was fired out, piercing Elec' head as the unit collapsed, deactivating itself.

Enraged Ann launched herself forward as Simon fired out the anchor at her. Sidestepping quickly, the Rasvehts all grabbed the wire of the anchor and pulled hard, throwing the Blitz off and with 5 power armors pulling, sending the stealth specialist flying back into the room. With the way clear, the generic Gundams of the Knights fell back first, as the Calamity stayed behind laying down cover fire with the Reborns Gundam. The Reborns Gundam was primarily focused with his GN Fangs combating the Quin Mantha's funnels. While they were numerically superior, the more experienced Knight was faring much better as Apollo focused on picking off each funnel faster, losing only one so far in the process from interference against the Bertigo's own Bits.

Both Law Enforcement and USMP were acting as well, letting the injured go first back the path. As the officers and the Dark Falcons prepared for their own evacuation, red lights flashed throughout the interior of the room, as blast doors came down, cutting off the retreating teams and splitting them in half. Down the hall, Captain Altecha Chan's team scrambled down to reach them, unable to reach the Dark Falcons with the radio interference. Unable to proceed further, as the injured soldiers fell back past them, they checked their charges to figure out what to do quickly.

Inside the large room, everyone stopped firing at one another and recalled their weapons. Wild moved quickly to the door behind him and used his beam zanber, creating only a small cut in the thick steel. "Well great, what's going on now?!" Wild yells out, as everyone's attention was drawn to the middle of the room. From the center, several containers arose from the floor. As they rose up, they each were large enough to fit a human inside, and all of them were written with something different.

In front of Wild and Kristal, a set of 3 containers faced them, marked X-1, X-2 and X-3. Opening up, the pair stared wide-eyed at the sight, as Kristal looked back and forth, trying to comprehend what she was seeing. "What the hell?! That's your armor over there!" Kristal looks on, shocked and taking a step back from the sight. Facing Law Enforcement, two containers opened up, marked Victory and Bertigo. "Seems we meet again, officer," the Bertigo's pilot states, stepping forward.

USMP was treated with a similar sight, as the green sniper Gundam known as Dynames appeared, along with a second Blitz Gundam. "You have got to be kidding..." Simon utters, recovering from the throw as he stood up near the USMP force that was left, with only a GM Squad with the Dark Falcons.

The Barcalow Knights were treated to a final sight, as Epyon stepped out from the container, and without wasting any time dashed forward right at the Calamity, stabbing him straight in the face with the beam sword, killing the mercenary inside. "Epyon tells me....no artillery allowed," a male voice states before backing off.

"Attention Power Armors...you have seen too much of the secrets in Tesla Industries. It is with that you must die to keep our trade secrets safe. Goodbye," a female voice said, before cutting off everything, as all eight new arrivals' eyes flashed.

Outside, a lone power armor entered the facility from the Barcalow Knights' staging area, as the Nemesis stepped inside.

Summary: Everyone who has already entered the facility is currently trapped inside the room with minimal support against the eight power armors. Altecha Chan has reached their position and is trying to break through to assist.

The surprise Wild had upon seeing the duplicates was quite a shock, as he recognized both the X-1 and the X-3, but not the X-2. Shaking it off quickly, the beam zanber was quickly ignited. If they were true duplications of his armor, he knew the weapons that would be useless for him. "Kristal, keep your guard up!" Wild yells over to her as he charged in at the three.

Even knowing full well what he was getting into, it was life or death, as the Crossbones charged straight for the two units. Moving ahead of the Quin Mantha, Wild was surprised again to see just what the X-2 had, as it revealed a large lance in its hand. The other two pulled out similar weapons compared to what Wild had. The first to engage was the X-1, as beam zanbers clashed intensely. It was immediately followed up by the X-3, who swung downwards with the Muramasa Blaster. Blocking with the beam shield, Wild backed off immediately as the two lighter-colored armors stared him down, readying for another attack.

Kristal's yell of cooperation was a partial success, as Lucas immediately acknowledged her affirming it and assisting in her hour of need. While she had indeed sent out her funnels to help out the Military and Law Enforcement, the Knights received no such help. As such, it was left to them to deal with the Gundam Epyon. Epyon with little effort dodged the Reborns Gundams attacks as Apollo switched back to his normal mode. Pulling out the GN Saber, Reborns locked sabers with the Epyon's larger sword, as the Gundam poured more energy into the sword, intensifying it. Taking to the air, or what limited movement they could with the ceiling up above them, the two moved testing one another.

On the ground, Kristal groaned in pain at the fury of attacks the X-1 and X-2 had done to her, barely controlling her remaining funnels to engage other targets. As the HEXA joined her, the two Gundams looked to one another and grabbed ahold of their cloaks using their free arms. Before another step could be taken a singular beam went through the space between them, as Wild fired his Buster Gun, still locking zanbers with the other X-3. Both of their Muramasa Blasters lay discarded, cut cleanly in half during the combat. Breaking contact, both Gundams joined with their respective group, pieces of their armor singed and broken in various places. The X-3 followed the other Crossbones and did the same motion. "Don't move until I say so..." Wild says, as Lucas looks over.

"Listen rogue, I know we have to work together-" Lucas starts, before Wild tosses his cloak aside and clipping his weapons to the hips.

"Just trust me on this," Wild interrupts, as the three Crossbones charged forward. "Mantha, charge your weapons..." Wild says, as the Quin Mantha began charging her weapons.

(to be continued, goddamn internet fails...)
