Dust on the third day. [Closed]

Timeline: Week 10, Sunday.

Maria sat in the drivers seat of a delivery van, her feet only just reaching the pedals, as she drove down the unused dirt road, the large factory area spreading to there right, down a steep incline. Shortly, the truck stops and she turns to look over her shoulder inside the rest of the van. There are two benches running down each side, full of people. Behind her seat, a shines in the dark of the van, a message still on it's screen.

"It appears news of our exploits with other dust distributors have gotten popular. Our target has hired a hunter team to act as guards, at least for the time being. Be cautious. Remember, you are to destroy the building as you are leaving. Volatile dust guarantees a large explosion"

"So, you guys ready?" She said as she scanned her team. Some were familiar and she was glad Milly was there True she was told to be on point but other than this, she had no idea what to do. Recruitment operations were more down her alley, but stuff like this? Don't mess up, Fortuna.

Varius silently laughs at the drivers question. What an idiotic question. Someone of my ability is always ready. "Of course, everyone here seems very capable. I don't see the possibility of anything possibly going wrong." Varius makes a smile trying to liven up the mood. I'm going to have to carry all of you in this mission. Damn fools dragging me down.

"Hmm? Ah, yes, ready. Ready indeed." Carolynn gave Cruthshot a final overview before relaxing and placing it to her side. Happily, she tied up her hair in a ponytail and watched her bunny ears bob up and down - this was a chance for big money, she could not pass it up.

Minos stayed quiet for the majority of the trip and ended up falling asleep. His armor was retracted and he felt extremely uncomfortable in the van because of his size. Waking up to Maria's question he mutters, "Well, it's about time we got out of here, I'd like to get out of this tiny metal box as fast as possible." Shifting a bit in his seat, Minos struggles to keep his horns from hitting the roof which made a weird metallic clanking sound every time it did. A few scratch marks could be seen on the it right above him. Bowing his head down a bit to adjust to the height of the vehicle he says with a little irritation in his voice,"Ready to smash things up over here. Be it the roof or the factory, I don't really care."

Towards the back of the van, Slade just nodded - she'd been sat there, arms folded, eyes shut, the entire time, breathing so lightly that it was hard to tell whether she was awake or asleep. She had her mask resting in her lap, of course, but curiously, no weapon of any sort.

In the seat right next to Maria, Milisendis paid no attention to the question at first, speaking into her earpiece in code before removing it and turning to respond to Maria, "Sy-" Realising she had yet to define a title for Maria's customised mode. She quickly analyses her database before finding one, "Systems nominal, Maharani. Combat effectiveness at Ninety nine percent. Finality fully stocked. Including newly acquired information. Estimated time to complete objective. Thirty minutes to an hour. Current Fuel levels at full stock, Thirty Five percent chance of running out due to excessive combat."

(OOC: Here's a diagram of the factory.)

"Alright." Maria said, her hand squeezing Milly's, the seat back blocking the others' view. "Let's go." Starting the car moving once more, Maria drives until the truck lines up with the airship bay, just a few hundred meters down the incline of the hill, a simple wire fence blocking their way. Stepping out of the van, Maria opens the back. "You all know what to do. Varius and Slade, you're with me in the silos room. Minos, in the warehouse. Carolyn and Milly, go and set the charges on each wall of the building, inside and out." She said, giving her most commanding tone. "Now grab a case and let's go." She said, hefting a large suit case with of the things they needed.

Minos jumped out of the van, making a large thud as he did, he throws his coat in the car and starts expanding his armor. The plates start spreading as he walks towards the fence and completely encompasses his whole body save for his head by the time he gets there. Looking at maria he says, "Warehouse. Roger that." and picks up a suitcase as his helmet closes up.

Varius steps out of the van and begins to adjust his equipment making sure Umbra is secured on his back, his cloak is not tangled, and his knives have not fallen out. Not sure of who Slade is Varius decides to walk over to Maria and wait for the other person to approach them. "I hope this doesn't need too much covertness." Varius reaches out and grabs one of the suitcases. "I'm not exactly prepared for stealth and carrying this thing around doesn't seem like it would make it any easier." 

"Aye." Carolynn very carefully stepped out of the van, using her weapon to hold herself up, keeping the first part of its name true. She turned to look at the one who's been name 'Mlilly'. "Interesting speech pattern." "Ssh, it's rude to comment on people's speech. Ready up the stun rounds just in case we run into someone."

Slade scooped up her briefcase as she joined them, putting on her mask - just in case - and hovering at Maria's shoulder, content for them to lead. Seeing as she was, ultimately, just muscle, she wasn't about to go making suggestions.

"Affirmative, Maharani. Disabling excess systems." The whirring of her reactor slowing down, she shifts Finality about in her hands before surveying the crowd, "Maharani. Requesting a map so I can assimulate the diagram to my databanks."

"Minos, you'll be with us me until we get to the silo room." Maria said, patting the big guy on the shoulder."Varius, try and keep things quiet. We don't need the police coming in while we're still prepping. Heck, they probably stationed guards so you'll have to keep quiet anyway.

Scanning the inside of the truck, she shuts the door when Milisendis' voice catches her attention from behind. "Huh? Oh right." Pulling out her scroll, she taps away at it, sending a map of the compound to the entire team, going either into there scrolls or directly into Milly's memory. "Alright. We're all set, let's go." With that, Maria jogs to the edge of the hill and slides down, moist grass helping her get to the fence quickly. It's long since closed so there shouldn't be any guards. Jumping at the end of the slide, she leaps over the fence, landing in front of the massive bay doors. Crouched slightly, she makes her way to the east side of the building, looking back to see if her team was still there.

Not saying a word with his suit completely equipped now he walks to the hill side. Spotting Maria's position he slides down stops by digging his hands into the earth. Seeing as the fence can't possibly contain any sort of alarms he walks towards it and grabs it with his armored hands, ripping the wiring by wrenching the wires apart as he makes a hole big enough for him to walk through, one fence is nothing compared to what they were planning on doing to the whole building. After getting through he makes his way to Maria's position and merely nods at her as a greeting.

Slade had been preparing to follow Maria's leap... but with Minos'... uh... creative problem solving, that would have been something of a waste of energy, not to mention how easy it would be to cut herself on the (now-open) wires.

Not that a cut here was likely to slow her down, but she didn't want to have to stop to bandage something, or bleed all over the floor, or get tetanus or something, so she followed him through the gap instead, shaking her head in slow disapproval.

Carolynn looked around the group. Sure enough, these people were moving fast. She wasn't, however, in a good jumping state, so she helped herself over to Milly and gave her a Cheshire-like grin, leaning on the Crutchshot, "Well then, Milly, was it? Lead the way." "She's kinda cute." "Shut up and keep track of the map ICEA."

Following behind the other Varius slides down the hill and manages to see Minos rip a hole in the fence. "Well I see we think alike Minos." Varius makes his way past the opening and takes his position next to his team. Rip a hole in the fence? Are you serious? One guard on patrol sees that and our cover is blown. Varius makes a false smile and gives Minos a thumbs up.

As Milly's ears seem to twitch, in actuality the map is sent along her neural network, analysed and sent back, Maria's scroll not working and just coming up with lines of code before it comes up with a map with all the structural weaknesses, beneath saying 'Ty 4 help' Milly,finishing her determinations, heads towards the others, frowning at the hole. going through regardless, she looks over the others silently, analysing any weapons she can see.

Confirming that they were where they needed to be, Maria moves on, calling her team to follow her. "Milly, take Carolyn in the opposite direction and start planting the explosives." She said into the earpiece she was wearing. "Meet with Minos in the warehouse when you're done.Walking a bit more, she reaches the wall outside the silo room. "Varius, can you get us inside without a lot of noise?" She asked the lion faunus."Normally, I'd ask Minos to do it but we don't know who could be inside."

Varius walks up to the wall and taps it with his knuckle testing the wall for its thickness. "This should be fine." Varius takes his place in front of the wall and takes a deep breath while placing his hands on the surfaces. After a few moments of concentration Varius begins to apply pressure to the wall and his hands sink in. Once he is confident his semblance has activated Varius digs his hands into the wall and begins to pull it apart wide enough for each person to fit. He continues this method as he moves down the wall. Sweat begins to form on his face and his breathing becomes labored. Once the hole is sufficiently big enough for them to enter, Varius steps away and begins to catch his breath. "That...should...do it."

Inside the hole in the wall, a large room opens up, silos full of dust rising from floor to ceiling. At chest height, each of the silos has an output valve where canisters can be filled. Near the two doors in the corner, a ladder goes up to a catwalk circling the room at around half the height of the silos. For now, the room is silent, no human life heard from here or even in the packaging room.

Walking towards the hole Minos heads for the hole Varius made he looked at Varius and said, "We may do the same things but I doubt we think alike." Because of his big build he had to squeeze a bit through the hole and watch his head because his horns might get stuck while lugging the huge case he brought behind him. After getting through he noticed that there was nobody on guard and everything was quiet, as if the whole factory was abandoned. Looking around and making sure they were alone in here he called to the rest, "All clear, but stay frosty, they could be watching us."

Nodding to herself, she looks at the woman to accompany her, registering her as a priority objective. Heading for the nearest weakness, she enters the building with as much stealth as possible, heading into the Deliveries department. Upon the hearing the noises emitted by the flushing toilet, she quickly makes a motion for her companion to be both silent and still, heading to prop her head around the side of the door to look at the guard, staying in the shadows. Waiting for him to move away, she makes her strike, her reactor going to silent and before he can react, Milly's voice turns Robotic and distorted, her hand around his mouth, "SoRrY fOr ThIs." With that, she knocks him out, making sure not to kill him before she heads back to Carolynn, voice back to normal, "Target neutralised. Let us get back to work. "

Carolynn was prepared to attack, Crutchshot already angled and rising to shooting position, but Milly's movements made her stop on observe carefully. Picking up on her voice, Carolynn raised an eyebrow with a curious smile on her face, "Well, here's something you don't hear everyday from a lady." "Damn I'd like to insert my hard drive into her USB port."

The tasteless joke was quickly responded to with a thud on ICEA, however fruitless due to the weapon's lack of a nervous system, "You are one rude retard you know." Carolynn made her way to Milly and took the case, starting to remove the charges and plaster them on structural weak points, "Besides all you'd get is a floppy disk." "Bitch." That comment was met with a giggle, after which both of them went quiet, although ICEA decided to try and start up a more private, wireless conversation with Milly regarding her system specifications.

As the request is sent to her, she blinks before looking at ICEA. Shifting her main network to the side, the reactor in her chest also starts whirring loudly. Maria's scroll blinking then activating, the avatar for Milly coming up, opposite her ICEA appearing, voice being sent to him through his network (As well as Maria's scroll) "Reason for interrupting my active processes?"
