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. Edited by Wild, Nov 28 2010, 02:54 AM.
