Ghost Corps. (( Futuristic Mech Rp ))

[TragicAce]

“I assure you the honor is all mine, councilman Featherstone. Again I must thank you all for allowing me the privilege to sit in on such a crucial discussion.” Smooth words from a man well-versed in the art of conversation (especially with high-ego individuals). He casually took his seat at the long table with a white tablecloth such that it might have appeared they were about to have an early dinner. A warm glance around him indentified all the big players in the Earth Government. As the seats filled, it became apparent that the gentlemen sitting in this room combined had such control over this planet it was almost sickening. And as diverse as the nations and cultures of Earth are-





“Since when did the CEO of a weapons monopoly get clearance for a maximum security meeting?! Why wasn’t I made aware of this?” The yelling came a few seats down from a man who had a natural hatred for Matthieu Avelin, Councilman Drescher. It is said that regardless of how loved a man may be there will always be someone who will despise him. This short and mustachioed German was such a man. Luckily Matthieu had already prepared himself for such an attack, and had a dozen safeguards in place. Safeguards number two and five rose to his defense first. Featherstone was an older man and friend of the chief executive’s father. Councilman Chen owed Matthieu more than a couple of favors as Avelin Dynamics chooses to cooperate with several resource companies Chen happens to be heavily invested in. That and Matthieu was in good relations with his oldest daughter, Rose.

After a brief debate and a few harsh reminders of the purpose of this meeting the head councilman spoke, and his voice silenced the crowd in an instant. “You will find, councilman Drescher, that Avelin has a mind as sharp as his words are sweet. But it is his unyielding desire for success and his ability to achieve it that has brought him here to this table. Which is why I, Head Councilman Charles Henry Rochester the Third appoint you to the temporary position of acting councilmember in place of councilman Wensley, who is currently unable to fulfill his duties due to sickness.”

Matthieu only gave a nod as if to give his consent to the decision. The council then went underway-that is until a large holographic panel appeared in the center of the table. It would seem-Matthieu mused-that this day would prove far more interesting than he had anticipated.

Denico sure was an exciteable girl, and possibly exaulted that feature with a small lack of common sense. She'd asked him to break orders and go in before the distraction occurred. Next, she'd asked Vanessa (although she really should have asked Vanessa both times as she was their superior) to 'spice things up a bit'. It sounded very unprofessional. Soren liked it.
Instead of answering, the man turned his face to look at Vanessa's mech, waiting for a 'No, Denico' or 'Negative' or 'Fine' response. He wouldn't mind barging in before time himself. The line between stupidity and heroism was fine indeed and achieved through, usually, daring decisions.
Before he heard any reply from Vanessa though, the trio began hearing shots in the distance. Several in a quick procession. The distraction had begun. Soren reached for the communication switches between Clive's, Dorian's and him. "Alright guys, we're going in." He informed them before turning off his communication with them. "Let's go Denico, Commander Vanessa."
The three mechs barged out of the dense forest coverage and were almost instantly received with a view of the medium-sized, but especially technological, research facility.
Inside his mech, he adjusted his green hat and made a move to advance the mech until he realized he wasn't quite sure where they were going. Soren relied heavily on the information his sources sent him that when a facility none had heard of appeared, he had nothing. "Do either of you have any guesses as to where we should be looking?" The idea of investigating the whole facility wasn't particularly inviting.

[Tusk]

Dorian heard Clive through his speaker and smiled a bit.
" Alright, I'll fish him out and give you a clean shot! "
Dorian then turned to see the Knight Blade surrounded by several mechs.
" Ah, I see he has brought the rest of his reinforcements. Let's see how they like this! "
Dorian watched as his missle lock picked up about 15 of the mechs and he smirked as he unleashed a hail of missiles at them. The explosions were enough to drive Korim back fast.

Korim watched in horror as he saw many mechs obliterated within a matter of seconds. His scanners, the best on earth, could not pick up that sniper! Just what was going on? He suddenly saw the mech shoot a minigun Right at him and he dodged right, but when he did, he found a missle aimed at him. He broke upward to avoid it, but then he saw it. The tiny glint from far off. It was the sniper.

The council room stood in scilence as the video showed the carnage outside the research lab. Mechs were gone in a matter of seconds and then there was the breach inside the facility itself. They watched that screen as the scientists were trying to figure out what to do.
" Make sure they do not find the Kamekazi Mechs. If they find them, then all chance of saying they started this war will be lost! "
One shouted as the scientists ran off to do so.

The main door leading deeper into the facility began to close. The scientists were trying to seal off the hallway. They were trying to hide the mechs.

[Vale]

Clive smiled, he had his shot, the glint from the sun reflecting off the Knight Blade's cockpit, the explosions acting as a marvelous backdrop to the single shot in front of him. It was almost like poetry, assuming Clive ever read poetry...better than that, if he read anything at all since the academy. But that didn't matter, the gun didn't matter, neither did the Bullets, Versa, Dorien, the Sleipnir Mark 6 he was in, neither did he. All that mattered was that Knight Blade, and it's most gracious destruction.

Engaged Depleted Uranium Shot, One Shell Loaded into Mark 6 Tactical Sniper, all systems engaged



"Gotcha..."

He felt the trigger squeeze and the blowback nearly dislocated his shoulder in his Mech, maybe even broken a collarbone.


Almost as if a flash hit the Knight Blade, the Uranium Shell blasted straight through the cockpit, destroying whoever happened to be the unlucky pilot caught in the way.

Humorously, the shell kept going straight into another Mech, causing him to crashing directly into the Lab Bay Doors, erupting them with a large explosions.


".....Hey Dorian...." Clive spoke up on their 2-way intercom.





"Two Points."

[Eva]

Vanessa frowned at both Denico and Soren. They were being rather brash, and although she wasn't really annoyed, she let out a sigh. "Let's be a bit more pragmatic, you two." she reminded them. Vanessa stopped when she heard gunfire, and immediately entered battle mindset. Soren's question quickly registered to her. "Check in areas of high activity. Surely the most guarded and well-kept places would be likely." she ordered.

[GnomesAteMyCake]

Denico turned to look at Vanessa, smiling. She could hear the guns and explosions in the background, and she was itching to go and fight. She listened for a few moments, and nodded.
"Aye aye, Ma'am," she said honestly, and turned to look at Soren. "Race ya there?"
She pushed a small button on her left wrist, and she rocketed into the air. Since she was so metalic, she was able to control her Mech with thought, and turned to the left and followed the sound of battle. As she saw the flashes of explosions, she lowered her rockets and slowly landed on a small hill. From her current position, she could see Dorian and Clive fighting with other Mechs. From what she could tell, they were doing fine.
She scanned the area, looking for another possible way into the Facility. She heard Soren's Mech approach her, and she turned and pointed at the other two mechs.

"Dorian and Clive have got this area covered. You see any other way for us to try and get in? Not that I mind blowing us a door in the wall, but maybe it would be smarter to try and get in through an actual one, eh?" She grinned, and continued to try and locate a entrance other than the one that the other two Ghosts were trying to use.

[Gafe]

Soren stared behind at Denico. Race her there? They were in the middle of their first mission, to a hidden high research facility no less, and she wanted to race? She must be either really good, really influential or really valuable to be in the Corps, he thought. Nevertheless, she was his partner and they had to stick together, at least until they formally decided to split up. The pilot of Mark 9 nodded at Vanessa, forgetting she couldn't exactly see him.

As he neared the place where Denico had stopped, Soren saw the explosions and fires the battle his male partners were engaged in had surely provoked. They were handling themselves rather nicely, now he could see why they were part of the Ghost Corps.
He heard Denico's question, but wasn't able to answer. Instead, he focused on the hole Clive had created in the wall of the facility, it was big enough for his mech to fit in too. "It appears, Denico, that we just found out door." He joked.

Vanessa had told them to look through areas of high activity and guarding; most, if not all the security mechs had gone after Dorian and Clive so guards, he supposed, had reduced to soldiers with guns and cameras of sorts. As the smoke from the creation of the hole dissipated, Soren was able to make out large groups of people running from the scene inside the facility, soldiers, scientists and the like. Computer screens flashed inside too.
"Den, cover me."

He pulled a lever and turned a switch, and his Mech was running into the facility. If he could fit, Denico would have no problems, and Vanessa wouldn't either. He sped into a corridor, passing several machines - which they were to destroy on their way out - and stopped only when he found a large door blocking his entrance. As one architect had once told him, the central attractive of a building was never next to an outer wall and mostly always behind a large door. An instant later, Soren had his mech's pulse sword out, which he used to cut through the metallic door. It wasn't easy, but neither was it impossible.
Like ants, all those that had been in the room fled as the Arzma entered the room, or so it appeared. Without thinking it twice, unfortunately, Soren depressurized his cabin and jumped down from his Mech, carrying a small white box-like object with him.
In three swift maneuvers, Soren connected the box into the main frame of the room. Information, they'd asked of him, information he'd give them. While the data transferred, Soren spotted some official-looking papers and picked them up. Two seconds later, he felt a gun cannon pressed against his back.
"Stop right there." Someone ordered.

[Vale]

Clive and Dorian were able to make quick work of most of the mechs, soldiers, tanks...actually most things that this facility had to throw at them.

Who would have thought all you needed was a Tactical Sniper and a Walking Deathmachine. Pretty impressive.

"Damien!"
"It's Dorian..."
"Sorry." Clive said, firing another slug out blazing through even more Mechs scurrying around the air.

Incomming transmission. Earth Alliance Mech Class 204
"Captain of the Unidentified Mech Suit. Disengage now. You're firing on An Undisclosed Location."
"Captain of the Douchebag Voice in My Intercom, I think not. Whatever it is you're hiding in there, we Intend to discover. So Adios!" Clive switched his intercom off, and only left his two-way mic with Dorian active.

"Dorian, we're going to get some company...big company soon"

[GnomesAteMyCake]

Denico brought her hand up to her head, saluting Soren as he asked her to cover him.
"Aye aye, Soren!" She chirped happily, a large smile on her face as she winked. The two gauntlets of her mech quickly transformed into Plasma Pistols, her favourite weapon that her mech came with, as well as being the perfect weapon to cover her partner with.

Soren ran for the large hole in the facility wall, while Denico once more took to the sky, a small crosshair fell into position over her left eye. Rotating slowly, she shot off two smaller mechs that began to flock after Soren. The bulk of the defence were preocupied with Dorian and Clive, who were holding up pretty well against the enemies.
"Dorian, this is Denico," she said into the small headset microphone as she punched in Dorians frequency into her wrist. "Soren has gone into the facility. I shall follow and insure he isn't overcome. If possible, can you destroy any that might follow?" She stopped sharply, and shot another mech, only hitting the left back-engine, which caused it to spinal out of control and hit the building.
"Have fun boys!" She said cheerily, before severing the connection and flying in through the hole that Soren had gone in through.

The corridor was strangely quiet, except for the few people that were running past her; her Mech only put her to about 7ft, so she wasn't that much bigger than normal humans, unlike the rest of the Ghosts. Still, it made her perfect for stealth missions, and going places the others couldn't. That, and she wouldn't trade her Mech for the world. The corridor spilt into four, as Denico stood in the centre, turning slowly as she tried to pinpoint Soren's electrical signal.
"The left..." she muttered quietly, and ran after him as quietly as her metal suit would allow. There were a few soldiers inside with guns, who she quickly disposed of with her Plasma Swords, but luckily no Mechs. Looked like they were going for quantity, not quaility with their Mechs.

It didn't take Denico long to find signs of Soren; a large metal door that it looked like he'd had to cut his way through. Just inside she could see his Mech, Arzma...but he wasn't inside. No wonder she'd had difficulty locating him. His Mech wasn't active! About to storm in and give Soren a right telling off, she stopped as she heard a voice. One that didn't belong to Soren.

"Stop right there."

Bending slightly, Denico went to her knees, so she could peer between the legs of Arzma. Soren had his back to her, carrying something that was wired into some computers. Behind him was a stranger, obviously a soldier, with a gun pressed between Soren's shoulder-blades.
"Shit," she cursed under her breath; she was no good with delicate situations like this. One false move, and she'd have Soren's death on her hands. He'd panic if he saw a Mech, and probably shoot the second he saw her. But getting out of her Mech in the centre of enemy territory was suicide (Something Soren should have realised, she thought angrily to herself).
Looks like she'd have to risk it.

Pressing her finger to a small red button on her wrist, all the clamps that held her limbs in place released silently, small bursts of steam winding to the ceiling as they did so. Denico grimanced as the wires and cables that connected her body to her Mech pulled themselves out and winded back into the Mech. She hated using the emergency function of her Mech.
Jumping from her Mech, she landed on the floor in a crouch, and snapped her neck up to look at the soldier. Dumbass, he hasn't even noticed, she thought smugly to herself. Wonder what he's saying to Soren, though...

As she began to creep forward, Denico reached for her hip for a gun. Her hands met nothing, and she looked down. Ah, Crap! I didn't bring any! I didn't think I'd have to leave my Mech for this mission! she thought frantically as she glanced around the room. There, behind her mech; A slither of metal that was about the length of her forearm. A little bigger than she wanted, but beggars can't be choosers. She scrambled back and grabbed the metal. A good, jagged edge. Brilliant.

With a weapon now in hand, she began creeping towards the two men, egnoring what the soldier was saying to Soren. The classic villian, explaining his plans for world domination, giving the hero time to escape! Denico grinned to herself. This was going to be easy.
Two paces behind the soldier, he finally started, his shoulders tensing, as he began to turn. Denico bolted, grabbing his wrists and pushing them up his back, whilst wrapping her other arm around his neck, pressing the metal to his throat.

"You shoot him, I slit your throat," she growled in his ear, looking over his shoulder to Soren. "You make any movement that I don't approve of, and your bloods all over the floor and my charming friend here. So if I were you, I'd stay still; my friend's clothes cost a bomb to get dry-cleaned, and I don't feel like paying him," she said softly, smiling at the back of Sorens head. "Sorry I was late, Chief," she said loudly, "But you know me; I'm never on time for anything. Now you," she said, digging the soldier in the back with her knee. "How's about you put the gun down, tell us all your plans, and I'll let you go. Sound like a good deal?"

[Tusk]

Dorian let out a sigh.
" The Earthen Army is headed this way and they want us to hold them off as they play detective. Great. "
Dorian said sarcastically to Clive as he realized his ammo was staring to run low. He had a few more missles and the minigun was good. The other thing he had was the pulse swords and....ooooh the pulse cannon. He smiled a bit. It would pack quite a punch. He then readied himself.
" Hurry up you three. We won't be able to hold them off forever. "

The gaurd began to panic with the knife at his throat.
" Look, I am not getting paid enough to die here. I got a family to feed. All I know is that they have several Kamikaze mechs in there and they are armed with nukes. I did not pry into what they were for, but whatever it is, it is something big! Now please let me go! "
The gaurd said as he started to studder with panic.

[Gafe]

Well, that had been a rather nice turn of events. Really, how pathetic would it have been to be killed on his first mission? He really ought to remember to thank Denico later on for saving his behind and the mission.
After the soldier pleaded for help, Soren spontaneously knocked the gun out of his grasp, sent it flying in the air and claimed it for himself as it came down. "Go away, right now." He commanded the frightened man. He looked at Denico, searching her face for a glimpse of complaint, he found none. It was strange, really, how the demidroid acted as if he was her superior, while it was her, in fact, that out-ranked him.

As the soldier ran away in hopes of saving his life, the man with the green hat looked at his collegue. "I apologize for doing such a dangerous stunt. Thank you for aiding me." He told her. As he had just met her, he didn't exactly now how to treat her, which led to him speaking to Denico very respectfully.
He clasped his hands together, creating an echo in the lab, to avoid any more timeloss. Dorian and Clive would not be able to guard them for ever. "Right, I got the intel," Soren pointed at the white box, which had finished transferring data, and the documents, "All that remains is getting out of here and blowing this place down as we do it.
I'll take the Western part of the building, you should take the Eastern, and let Commander Vanessa do exterior damage." As he really didn't want to lose any more time, he ran back to the Azrma, and noticed Denico's Mark beside it.

Even though climbing back into a Mech was a slower process than climbing out, after five minutes Soren was speeding through the hallways again. With his Mark's plasma sword he damaged structures, with the gun he created holes in them.
A reasonable amount of time afterwars, Soren was out of the Hidden Facility.

OOC: Seeing as how Dav has left the site, Ghost Corps is hereby turned into a 'Coma State' RPG which will resurface when/if Dav comes back.
This decision has aroused due to this being his creation and although we fellow RPers of this RP could debate against this, Ghost Corps ((Futuristic Mech Rp)) was based on Dav's own RSG of a similar name. Which, you know, kinnda means we desperately need him to continue this.

Six mechs approached the base, travelling in a well-kept and tight formation. They slowed down as they noticed the ongoing battle. They began to discuss what to do next...

"Oh...this is bad..." Tsun-Tsun Inoue gripped the controls of her mech, her arms shaking. "Amazons! The base is under attack." she shouted as she examined her radar. Tsun-Tsun tensed; she hated fighting, but it was inevitable. Her purple bangs swept down into her face, but she ignored it. Tsun-Tsun adjusted her visor and zoomed in on the enemies.

"Copy that. There are mechs around and exiting the structure." Nicolette Lichtenstein's heavy German accent sounded through the mechs, and she smiled. This was going to be fun- nobody expected this well-trained team to supplement the base.

"..." Femina Fitzgerald made no comment. She merely tightened her grip on her controls and adjusted her seat. She was quite ready.

"This should be fun!" Aya Clair let out a booming laugh. She wanted to slaughter the rebellious colonials right then and there, put an end to this silly little uprising before it got any more out of hand.

"Okay, everyone. Just beep me if you need supplies." Wendy Jenner leaned back in her command station, relaxed. She was heavily armored, and while her offensive capabilities were minimal, she felt rather safe. She was just the packmule.

Finally, the ringleader of the Amazons spoke up. Nina-Rose Margeaux, pilot of the Nostradamus and prodigy extraordinaire, was giving orders. "Spikewheel formation. Stormfuhrer, Mistletain, go and take out anyone surrounding the base. Slayer, position yourself so that you have an optimal view of the battlefield. Constantinople, find any stragglers. Baseline, you're with me. We'll meet the enemy as they exit the base. Our heavy armor will easily absorb any of their attacks, then we can decimate them. Understood?"


"Confirmed."
"Yep."
"Of course!"
"Yes."
"I've got it."

[Eva]

Vanessa Durante continued her firing, hitting as many key points in the structure as possible. She felt exposed, as she was alone without assistance, but there were no enemy mechs around, so all was fine. However, Naglfar's radar began to pick up some strange readings. Vanessa clicked her communication box on. "Dorian, I'm getting some enemy feedback. Some new mechs are entering the area. Their energy readings far surpass the ordinary mechs we've been fighting. I think we should stay on our toes-" Vanessa was suddenly cut off as a large pulse sword hit Naglfar in the back, causing the mech to shoot forward. Vanessa's hands immediately gripped her controls, and she regained control. "What the-" Vanessa looked up and saw a large, navy-blue mech above her. Her com blazed.

"Oh, aren't you a cutie. What's your name, sweetness? I'm Aya." Vanessa's giggling assailant twirled her pulse sword, taunting the deputy commander. "You must be an Earth soldier." Vanessa replied, opting to spend her time adjusting her injured Orbital Frame. "That frail little OF won't stand up against my Tank Mech, sweetness. Little pea-shooters!" The giggling voice irritated Vanessa further, and she checked her status one last time. Everything was in order. "You're not here alone, 'Aya'. Where's the rest of your squad?" Vanessa demanded. She heard a long sigh. "Well, if you MUST know, they're busy sweeping the area. So, if you have any allies around here, just know that they're about to meet the same fate as you." As Aya's sentence was spoken, Vanessa fired off a beam spam at her tank mech.

Aya giggled again as the beams scratched against Constantinople, barely denting her dense armor. "Try again, sweetness!" she laughed. Aya primed her missiles and aimed them at Naglfar. "Do you know how to dance, sweetness?" she cooed. Aya released her missiles, letting out another giggle.

Vanessa shot Naglfar to the left, outrunning the numerous missiles that shot out at her. She tried to get them to collide into the structure, but they always swerved out of the way. Vanessa was so intent on dodging that, when the missiles finally stopped, she could no longer see Aya. "Where are you? Earth soldier-" Vanessa was cut off again when Aya's pulse sword carved down the back of Naglfar, piercing its armor and exposing a great deal of its inner workings. Vanessa let out a gasp, but before she could react, Aya used the full strength of her mech to knock Naglfar down. Vanessa's screens glowed red, and she immediately deactivated everything in Naglfar except life support. She was a sitting duck.

"Captain Margeaux! I've terminated one of the enemy mechs! An Orbital Frame! I won't kill the pilot! We can collect her and the mech once this battle's over!"

[Eva]

"I see a Mark 9!" Tsun-Tsun shouted to Nicolette. Both mechs targeted the 9 that was exiting the structure, and immediately gave chase. "You there! I'd stop before we have to make you stop!" Tsun-Tsun warned, connecting to the mech's communication.

Nicolette frowned. "Chase him around to the others. That way we can bombard them all." she said.

Tsun-Tsun nodded. "Got it." she replied. She switched her com back to the Mark 9. "Take us to the leader of this squad, and we will not resort to violence. You have ten seconds to comply."
