Guinevere Fouroux can't help a tiny smile--for the first time, things seem to be working in their favor, even this little bit. She looks up at Forge, then nods after a moment, in silent agreement. She looks back at Elise's question. "Even if they are human?" she adds. "I know you and I would be free to move around, but with weapons?"
Forgetten Tomorrow glances at Guin. "You probably won't be able to-- Oceanic shipping crates...fill them with armor and people..have Oceanic or someone on your staff bring them in with you..." He would light up a fresh cigarette with a few quick hand motions and he took a long drag off it exhaling over his head.
Elise Capalini's expression darkens some then--the idea of Guin going. It doesn't sit right at all. "Are you kidding?" she asks softly, without malice. She shakes her head. "No--Guin, you can't possibly be thinking of going--against a military force in a heavily guarded prison."
Forgetten Tomorrow glances at Elise and then back to Guin and he shrugged his shoulders. "Elise, you can either take her with your group or she is coming with mine."
Guinevere Fouroux cants her head, mind starting to spin. "How familiar are you with the layout? It's one thing to bring the crates on the boat, but then what? Can we smuggle them over? Sneak them in?" She freezes at Elise's words, blinking at her in silence for a moment. "Of course I'm going."
Elise Capalini looks at the two of them. "And what, have one more person to worry about and potentially rescue?" She looks at Guin, not unkindly. "You learned to shoot a gun how many days ago?"
Forgetten Tomorrow shook his head slowly. "I don't know anything about the layout and I won't until some time later....Guin. You are going." He looks at Elise then with a long and meaningful stare. "But you are taking my bullet proof vest...and a few other pieces of gear." He looks at Elise and he rolled his eyes. "Do you -really- think the only thing you are going to need are guns and cats." He shook his head slowly then and he took a step towards her slowly then. His body loomed and his eyes would narrow. "It isn't up for discussion. You need humans to even get *close* to the LDC."
Guinevere Fouroux understands, logically, Elise's point. But staying behind is not something she's even willing to consider. Not for a moment. She glances up at Forge, at his offer, and nods, but turns her attention back to Elise. "I don't want anyone worrying about me. I may have just learned, but I can. I'll do what I have to do." Forge's support is surprising, and she stares at his back. Latching onto his point, she adds quickly, "It's not all about shooting people. I have no problem doing so, not in this, but Elise... please don't ask me to stay behind."
Elise Capalini stands her ground when Forge approaches her. "You don't tell me what to discuss," she says in a near growl, then looks back to Guin. "The UAC won't care you're human. You support hybrids, you're worthless to them." She breaks off, knowing she's getting nowhere. "You shouldn't go," is all she says.
Forgetten Tomorrow glances over at Damian as he approaches and he gives the man a nod of his head. "Shouldn't and won't are decided different things... Guin, Elise- do you know Damian. Damian-- Elise, the Matron. Guin, the girl scout..."
Damian Rigaud walks up digging for a smoke "Clawin any of us up isn't goning to change that matron.." he nods all around as the intro are made
Elise Capalini looks at Damian evenly. "We're acquainted."
Guinevere Fouroux hears someone approaching, but her eyes remain on Elise. "They may not know I do, on sight. I've never spoken publicly. Never been a target. I doubt I'm on any most-wanted posters." She shakes her head. "I'm not asking anyone to look out for me. I understand the risk and I accept it."
She trails off, at Forge's introduction, and looks back, nodding at Damian. "Hello," she says softly.
Damian Rigaud looks around "I have less than a full story.. who are they and why the select abductions?'
Aravasha Yiyuan stands quietly behind Damian listening
Forgetten Tomorrow glances at Damian for a moment and then back to Elise "I believe we are done until we have more information, yeah?" He looks over at Damian and he held up one finger "Just a moment.." he turned to look at Guin and he would lean in and whisper to her slowly then. Before turning to look at Elise again and giving her a smooth smile "If you see Laz tell him to contact me..." He would glance over at Damian "We have a mutual friend who is working as an agent-- they are UAC they are in the Levithian Detention Center..a number of neko and blantly pro-hybrid supporters..."
Aravasha Yiyuan ponders something silently
Damian Rigaud arches an eyebrow "that handles the who.. but I only have half the why.. does the UAC want Midian purified or some such nonsense?"
Guinevere Fouroux lets Forge fill in Damian and Vasha--at least, she's fairly certain that was the woman's name--her attention still on Elise, willing her to understand. She's startled by Forge's whisper, but nods. "I've already texted Laz and gave him your number, Forge," she says, then, still holding Elise's eye. "The weapons... do you want me to get those now?"
Forgetten Tomorrow shrugged his shoulders "The why is a bit...murky...considering Marina was shot and they have done nothing to treat her wounds...I'd say they plan to kill them...perhaps make a statement? " He shrugged his shoulders then "either that or we are going to start getting ransom notes...however, I don't trust them enough to do it in a timely manner...do you?"
Elise Capalini looks at Forge, wondering if she's just been dismissed from his presence. She stays put, her jaw tightening. This plan was bad, on so many levels and taking Guin inside only made Elise queasy.
Damian Rigaud shakes his head.
Aravasha Yiyuan looks from behind Damian and askes in a voice just slightly above a whisper....where was the initial attack started?
Damian Rigaud inhales the smoke "Thats a good question where was marina .. the park.. when she was taken?"
Damian Rigaud begins to come to a disturbing conclusion as his face darkens in expression. "I think its experimentation.. "
Aravasha Yiyuan touches Damian arm gently to get His attention
Damian Rigaud inclines his head to Aravasha
Elise Capalini looks to Forge. "What kind of weapons are you supplying?" she asks.
Aravasha Yiyuan: ..that..Humans First ..woman..she also conviently cancelled her rally ...in the park
Forgetten Tomorrow nodded his head slowly then as he tossed his long forgotten cigarette and he would bring his hand into his jacket and he pulled out a new one and he lights up "We have a forward plan and then a backup plan. However, Elise seems to think it is all a bad idea...perhaps instead we'll get a guitar and sing a few gospel diddies..." He pauses then and he looked at Elise "go get that armor prepped and we'll come by for pickup..." he looked at Damian "we are doing a small forward movement and if that doesn't work...a larger backup plan..."
Forgetten Tomorrow tilted his head to the side and he would pause for a moment "I don't know where Marina was.." he glances over at Taladis and waits for an explination "I'd assume they started over here by the bunker..unless someone knows something I don't?"
Damian Rigaud nods to Aravasha. and then to Forge "Fair enough.. what do you need done?"
Forgetten Tomorrow glances at Damian for a long moment then as he took a drag off his cigarette his entire body relaxed for a moment "I'd like you to come with Taladis and I...and a few others-- a small team..5 people..2 in UAC uniforms that Elise has graciously offered to supply...with Taladis as a prisoner...then two more will start a diversion..explosions and the rest on the side of the building....hopefully we'll be able to keep the guards at bay long enough that you'd be able to get the lot of them free...."
Guinevere Fouroux's hands tighten on her arms, alternating between being thankful to Forge and, again, wanting to kick him. "We're never going to be able to come up with something foolproof," she says flatly. "Two plans--they could work to our advantage. One they might expect, but a second on its heels? Perhaps not." She's not sure what she sees in Elise's expression, but finally lifts her eyes to Forge's. "She asked about the weapons," she says softly. "What weapons can you give us?"
Taladis Tower just leans on the railing all the same, the green eyes of the cat having drifted off while they spoke the entire time. He finally glanced back, rolling the cigar in his mouth in thought as he grumbled out of the side of his mouth, "Marina was at the entrance of the park. I saw the signs of the scuffle after it had happened. The park cameras caught the fight, but the MPD has the tapes already, I think. But it was clearly Marina's blood on the ground.. I know her scent rather well." His tone still seemingly gutteral, the growling echo following his words. He looked at Forge after he spoke again, reaching up to pull his cigar out of his mouth, "And hopefully in the meantime, I can find out exactly how many people are missing."
Elise Capalini looks evenly at Forge. "I never said the plan was bad. I had one specific concern," she says, looking then at Guin. She stares at her, knowing that if she were in the woman's shoes, she'd do the same, but that doesn't make it any easier. "What weapons?" she asks again, for they were already given a duffle bag full last night.
Taladis Tower wrinkles his nose as he looks at Elise, half wondering why she thought bringing Guin along was a bad idea, and half wondering why it was even an issue. The dark cat looked at the group, and carefully regarded Guin as a warrior might. His tail flicking behind him as he folded his arms over his chest.
Forgetten Tomorrow glances at Taladis "Marina, Pera, Eamon, Masha, Quentin whomever that is, some strange neko girl, and a few others...I'll check my phone history in a moment..." He glances at Elise. "Gernades-- white phosphorus...and we have a number of other things...Guin and I will have to go through it..."
Damian Rigaud nods "Alright.. " he smiles "I am not gonna sk how you got the uniforms.. " he says to Elise "Lets do it.."
Taladis Tower just wrinkles his nose after a moment, as he looks at Elise once more and tilts his head slightly as he speaks out of the side of his mouth with that gutteral tone again, "Why do you have an issue with her.." He noses towards Guin, "Coming along?"
Elise Capalini smiles at Damian. "We got the gear with our wit and charm, naturally."
Forgetten Tomorrow grinned a bit and he took another long drag off his cigarette then and he would look at Damian again curiously tilting his head to the side "I have a small boat...not really meant for the cross sea journey however it is possible..though it only hold 4 people..do you know where we could get 1 or 2 more small vessels?"
Elise Capalini looks back at Tal and doesn't answer. She's already spoken her piece on that; too bad if he was distracted by thoughts of Marina being captured. She draws out her PDA to send a message to Kiri at the den about the armor.
Damian Rigaud nods "I can get ahold of a speed boat.. seats 4 .. have you tapped the smugglers in town?"
Guinevere Fouroux blinks at the laundry list of weapons from Forge, impressed... and a little disturbed. She looks to Taladis, and says calmly. "I'm not a fighter. I know only self-defense. I'm decent with my dagger but only learned to fire a gun a few days ago. I'm a potential liability. She's right to be concerned." She smiles tightly. "It doesn't change my mind, but she's right."
Taladis Tower just looks at Elise, and wrinkles his nose - pulling the cigar from his mouth and letting out an annoyed puff of smoke. He wasn't quite paying attention, though he looked at Guin as she spoke up. He just blinked a few times, "She is right. An amateur is dangerous." He growled lowly as he glanced at Forge, but it seemed that the man had already made plans around her coming anyhow. The dark cat glanced off to the side once more as his ears twitched.
Elise Capalini thinks about the early days in her friendship with Guin, sparring with their daggers behind the church. God, but that seems like a long time ago. Her ears flatten at Tal's low growl, and her tail flicks. "I'm being told that one set of armor is a little banged up--but she say's it'll hold."
Forgetten Tomorrow shook his head slowly and he chuckled a bit. "The smugglers....ain't exactly fond of me..and I can't get ahold of anyone in that two-bit operation anyway...if you think you can do better please go for it..." He would count and considering for a moment. More then enough to get the teams in...not enough to get them all out. He glances at Taladis. "An amateur -is- dangerous...however, I have a few special uses for her..." Obviously Forge's wheels were still turning. He glances over at Taladis. "Want to see if Charles is in or should we look elsewhere for 2 more bodies.." He looks over at Damian again and he gave a lopsided grin. He shrugged his shoulders "1 set is a little banged up? Well..that will be fine...we need it for a costume.."
Taladis Tower just pulls his cell phone out at Forge's words and presses a few buttons, not going to press the issue further, since Forge seemed to have it worked out in some manner or another.
Aravasha Yiyuan looks around Damian again and speaks softly..how can i help
Guinevere Fouroux exhales, slowly. "None of us are professional military operatives, unless I missed something. I'm an amateur, yes, but I'm not helpless, and I don't expect anyone to give me any special consideration." She looks sharply to Forge, a little wary of the idea of having a 'special use,' but looks back to Elise with a sigh. "I respect you and Laz's experience, and as much as possible I'll follow your lead. But please don't try and leave me out of this."
Taladis Tower just growled all the same when she said that, "I'm about as professional as you'll get in this city when it comes to skill. That's why I'm the trap." He rolled the cigar over into the opposite side of his mouth, "I just hope they don't run a damn blood scan on me." He seemed to mutter the last part as he watched the waters flow, and some sort of .. fish frog waddle through the waters of the pit. He quirked a brow at that, and just proceeded to blink repeatedly.
Elise Capalini hears Guin's words and nods slowly. It's the thought of her being harmed, she thinks; the thought of letting that happen the way she let Eamon be taken happen. "Trying to leave you out only means you go with Forge...or sneak over on your own...and those are definitely *out.* If you're coming, you come with Laz's team. He commands it--you do as he says, and we all get back in one piece." She still doesn't want Guin there; but it's clear she's not budging, so she'll go with rules firmly in mind.
Guinevere Fouroux sees something shift in Elise's expression, and her shoulders ease, the tiniest bit. She nods at her parameters, and tries a small smile. "Thank you," she says, though doesn't deny that the other options Elise had laid out were possibilities had she refused. "And I meant what I said. No special consideration. I'm not going just to get in the way. You do what you have to do."
Apologies for posting so much type, but this was one of my favorite scenes of the whole thing for a few reasons and I couldn't decide where to trim!
