When we die, we will die with our arms unbound

[dragonspeak]

Who: The Rocket HQ raid crew (add your own tags to the log when you tag in!!)
Where: Team Rocket HQ in Mahogany
When: 11/17, Morning
Summary: After meeting and scouting for the last two days, the group is finally ready to take action and sneak into the Headquarters.
Rating: Pg 13?
Log:

Though they had decided the raid would not begin until late morning, Merlin--and many others, he suspects--had been up since before sunrise, the tension thrumming through his body making it difficult for him to continue sleeping. So, he settled for watching the headquarters from afar, eyes sharp but expression clouded in thought.Thankfully for them, it looks like the frenzied activity that Lightning and Ventus had mentioned to him last week had died down somewhat.

"Right," Merlin says, addressing the fairly large group of people, stepping forward and slipping his dark green glasses on as he does so. Though he sees movement from the corner of his eyes, he doesn't realise Souji is doing the exact same thing behind him. "Looks like there actually aren't that many Rockets around today. That's good news for us, and lucky. The less of them around, the more easily we can find what we're looking for without running into trouble."

"Everyone knows what to do--stick together, don't try running off on your own. The last group that was here ran into plenty of traps, and we don't want any of us getting caught and left behind." He nods at everyone. "Okay. Let's go."

[Gorthan has spent the last few days familiarizing with the equipment and the scientists who will likely be his future colleagues. Of course he still finds the machinery and instruments extremely primitive compared to what he uses on Evron. But this will do - he can always modify them once he's allowed to use them.

Of course, in order for him to be able to work with them, they must remain intact. That is why Gorthan will be very protective of the machines and computer terminals in the labs, and ready to battle whatever intruder so much as approaches them.]

[ ooc: Leon and Merlin are gonna tag in here for a bit, Irene--could you wait with Gorthan for a bit? ]

[ It's tought being sneaky when you're nearly six feet tall. For the purposes of the mission, however, Leon went and removed most of the metal from his person, including chains and belts. He's hardly recognizable. Without the telltale clinking of metal that accompanies him, he's at least somewhat more prepared for stealth.

He glances over at Merlin behind him, hand hovering over the keypad of the laboratory doors. ]

What's the password, again?

[dragonspeak]

[Merlin glances down at the book in his hands.]

Try "quoth the murkrow" [He whispers to Leon.] It's a good thing this Rocket left some of their belongings behind, otherwise we never would have guessed.

[ Leon nods, quietly sliding out the keypad and inputing the code.

After a single, breathless second, sure enough, the door slides open with a murmured hiss. Leon nods for Merlin to take point. If anything goes awry, he's got Raichu to back them up. ]

[[OOC: Is now a good time? Otherwise, I'll delete this.]]

[With his hands joined behind his back, Gorthan is immersed in thought as he examines one of the machines, one that he definitely wants to be working with, even though he'll have to tweak it a bit, maybe add some parts... He's got his back turned to Leon and Merlin when they enter. He raises his head a bit and turns his head slightly to one side as he snaps to attention, but he doesn't fully turn just yet.]

How did you two get in?

[Eh, he figures that the NPC Scientists will try to take care of the intruder problem for him. After all, they've been here longer than he has. Should they prove incompetent, and Gorthan kind of predicts that they will, he will step into action. Again, his priority is defending the machines.]

urk well, this is late

[Merlin stops as a few scientists approach, and feels Ambrosius tense at his side, paws already gathering energy for an Aura Sphere attack.]

Through the door. You didn't see? [He gives his cheekiest grin, taking advantage of the scientists' distraction to shift closer to Leon. It looks like they have a battle on their hands.]
