Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship

Who: Harlock, Donatello, Terra, Kaitlyn, Atom, Kanna,
What: Let's steal a pirate ship back!
Where: A military installation in Davkor
When: Shortly after Asphodel preparations are complete.



Harlock had his suspicions where his dear Arcadia was taken, but among all the military bunkers, factories and storehouses, finding the right installation was trickier - as while he was there briefly, he was knocked out before being taken to the Larnedt labor camp where he was rescued. as he did not want to waste time searching deep in enemy territory, but a combination of intel from the deep-cover Corsairs, and a happenstance of a soldier in Vindess having been transferred out from Davkor, drunkenly bragging about the "Weird shit" she was guarding.

Once he got what he needed, he had sent out a missive, either to those he knew personally and could trust, or those he had heard would be suitable for a mission of this type.

Re: Dealing with the Guards (Kanna, Kaitlyn, Terra)

[bearsperminute]

Kanna got in close to the wall, obscuring herself from sight as best she could.

This also allows her to kneel down to give Terra a boost if necessary. it's not that she doesn't trust the two of them, she's just also well aware that of the three of them, she's the heaviest, probably by far, and she's not sure about their lifting strength. Besides, the walls are made of concrete. Leaning her shoulder against it... She nods. "There's enough aggregate in here to give me handholds, I'll be fine," she whispers.

Terra gives Kanna a bit of a quizzical look, before nodding and stepping lightly onto her hand. There's a quiet gathering of wind, as she leaps from the hand and up toward Kaitlyn, grasping her hand to accept the help over the wall.

"One down, two to go," Kaitlyn whispers, looking down toward Kanna.

"I can get up unaided, so, you next."

[bearsperminute]

Kanna takes it at a bit of a run, unsure of if she can put all her weight on Kaitlyn without dumping her back to the ground. So she cheats. One hand-hold-- little more than a slight bump in the wall, made from aggregated gravel and cement. With half her weight on each, she hauls herself easily to making them footholds, and then is atop the wall, extending her hand down for Kaitlyn. Her free hand taps the top of the wall for a second and the aggregate settles back into its proper place.

Still, good on Kait for being game about it.

As so far, the perimeter guards have not noticed anyone jumping over the fence, and the guard tower is focusing their light eastward, but it's best not to linger depending on where Harlock ended up having to run to avoid getting caught himself.

Inside, there is more cover, but there were soldiers who weren't part of the chase patrolling among the bunkers and crates, groups of two or three and at least from their angle at least four sets and that's not counting the control tower, or the hangar guards.

Terra watches from a discrete distance as the soldiers pass.

"I might be able to put them to sleep or paralyze them... but probably only one at a time."

[frost_and_shinies]

"One or two can still open up a path," Kaitlyn observes. "Taking them down, out of sight, would be better, though."

[bearsperminute]

"... And no diversions." Kanna pauses. "... Those two pass through the crates. We'll have to be quick, but..."

[freearcadia]

As Kanna spoke, the guards start to pass, one nervously fiddling with his comms, as the other starts to peer around, listening for the sound of anything moving.

If they want to strike, now is the time.
