Endgame Earth

[NovaAurora]

    Nova looked around and saw Ip emerge from the stairwell and sit down. "Alright, the gang's all here," he thought to himself and made his way to the center of the room. Once again mustering his announcer voice and standing on a chair he began to talk. "Attention everyone! I know many of you have already heard the outline of my plan, and some of you I haven't said a single word to. But everyone needs to listen now. Tonight we break out of the city, starting by raiding the human settlement for their vehicles and fuel. How this will work is as follows: Jared, our human friend Himawari, and I will be equipped with these radio headsets." He held them up to demonstrate. "Their settlement is surrounded by a wall guarded by snipers, with the only entrance being a mechanical gate. Jared and I will scale this wall and incapacitate the snipers, keeping in contact through the radios. Once they are neutralized, we will open the gate and Himawari, in contact with us, will lead a force into the compound. You will enter as quietly as possible, for her mission is to throw canisters of what she claims is a sort of sleeping gas into their buildings, preventing them from being able to even know we're there. Once the gas has been released, we will acquire their vehicles and fuel, which I believe are all stored in the same building, and drive out of there as quickly as possible. Those who follow Himawari into the settlement should be prepared for a fight in case something goes wrong, but we must make every effort to prevent that. Everyone else will wait outside and load into the vehicles once they have been procured. Then it's just a matter of getting the hell out of here." He paused and looked around. "Right now, those of us already with our gear in order should make sure we all know each other, as communication and knowing our strengths will be key in the coming days. To everyone else," he gestured at the room full of the non-fighting furs around him, "pack up all your stuff and steel yourselves. Things like this never go as easily as planned."

Himawari saw other furs coming in and she walked over to the group.
She stayed a bit away, because she saw Nova talking to one of the anthropomorphs who just walked in. Apparantly they knew eachother.


Himawari looked to another direction, she saw someone at the stairs and walked up to him.
She smelled pineapples when she got near him.


"Who are you, if I may ask? My name is Himawari Hyde."

Jared walked up to Nova as everyone got ready. "I have to tell you... I'm probably going to fly for this. But don't worry, they won't spot me... and no killing them, ok?"

[NovaAurora]

    Nova got off the chair and turned to Jared. "Of course. Our only objective is getting the vehicles we need. I hope to avoid any casualties, human or fur. And don't worry, I trust you. Just stay in communication."

[Luke White-Heart]

Part of Luke wanted to speak to this Nova, to find any information he had on Daniel, but the other part of him wanted to keep his back to the wall. He was surrounded by furs he didn't know or trust. But he needed these furs. How much they needed him was a different story. He watched Nova carefully, noting how he moved, they way he carried himself, the way he spoke. Nova was a fur that Luke didn't want to get in a fight with. But Luke needed him.

[Kit Aalish]

Sarah. Walked away from the wall to gather her stuff. She kept her eyes on eveyone as she did so. She watched all their bady movements. Most of them wee nervous. Understandable in this situation, they were getting ready to leave their home. But she noticed something about the ones in charge as well as the ones from the mini-mart. The were calm cool and colected. She said outloud, "These people are good. Looks like I choose right."

[Takamei Edevane]

Ip looked up with his eyes first then followed by his head. He steadily got up, still trying to process what was going on and who all of these people were. Ip looked at Himawari, intrigued by the human that had approached him. "Oh, hi" he said in a very detached manner. Ip cautiously put out his paw to shake Himawari's hand but quickly retreated, unsure of what to do. Ip hadn't had many good experiences with humans especially after the war broke out. The humans hunted in packs back in London, crazy chavs that refuse to be a part of anything other than their own gang. No order or respect for each other and this was what Ip was used to. Seeing another human Ip was on edge, wondering what it wanted. "Please, call me Ip" Ip said in an attempt to seem more friendly, and gave a slight smile for a moment. "I suppose you are part of the resistance then?"

[Ventus Fall]

Himawari wanted to shake hands, but before she could even get her hand ready, Ip retracted his own hand.
She thought it was weird at first, but then realised that these furry creatures might have their own problems with humans as she has with their kind.
"Hello Ip," she said with a calm voice, trying to show him she meant no (personal) harm to him.
She continued talking. "I guess I am part of the resistance now... Haven't thought about it really... I help you guys and they'll help me I guess. What are your plans for now, Ip?"

[Cifero Windtail]

    Nova got off the chair and turned to Jared. "Of course. Our only objective is getting the vehicles we need. I hope to avoid any casualties, human or fur. And don't worry, I trust you. Just stay in communication."

Jared nodded. "Alright..." He glanced at Luke. "Maybe you should talk to him?"

[Takamei Edevane]

Ip looked away at the ground, and thought for a moment before looking back up uncomfortably. "Uh, I'm not entirely sure right now... if I can be of any help or use I'll do what I can I suppose. It really depends on a variety of factors." Ip looked over to where Nova was standing with his chair "Im going to talk to Nova now, to see if I'm required" Ip looked at Himawari and back in Nova's direction before leaving his corner, into the centre of the room and up to Nova. "Excuse me, Nova. Is there anything you wish to ask of me?"

[NovaAurora]

    Nova glanced at the odd wolf-like fur in the corner across the room. He was about to go over there and see what was going on, when he heard a voice behind him. It was Ip, awake from his nap and looking a bit better than he had before. "Good to see you're awake. I don't have anything specific in mind for you, but I do want you to be one of the furs who goes in behind Himawari and reinforces the perimeter in case anything should happen. So do what you need to prepare yourself for that I suppose." Nova then thought of something and turned his attention to Himawari, still sitting towards the back by herself. "Himawari!" he called and waved her over.

[Ventus Fall]

Himawari looked up when she heard someone call her. She looked and saw Nova.
"What is it?" She asked with a business-like voice when she walked up to the fur resistance leader.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jared sighed. "Nova... maybe you should TALK TO HIM." He pointed again at Luke.

[NovaAurora]

    Nova looked over his shoulder and shot Jared an "I'll get there in a minute" glance. Turning back to Himawari, he asked, "This 'sleeping gas' of yours... how potent is it? I mean will it knock us clean out if we get even a whiff of it? I'm just wondering how fast we'll have to move once you release it, because it will eventually spread from the buildings..."

[Ventus Fall]

Himawari hasn't thought about that when she heard Nova's question.
She knew immediatly that these creatures would have a stronger sense of smell then her. And hearing... probably lots of other senses are stronger too, but sense... That would be a problem, she figured.
"Nova, these are some very strong cannisters, I believe. It would surely take me 2 to 3 hours to wake up... Also, you can make all the noise you want without them waking up to anything. Hell, you could put a rocket or something next to them, fire it, and they wouldn't notice anything while knocked out with that gas."



She thought of something else too, how fast the gas will spread.
Best mention that to Nova too, she figured.
"Also, Nova, because of the high pressure in these cannisters, as soon as they are released, the gas will rapidly spread. I would suspect it can spread within 15 seconds in a room that is about 20 by 20 metres. And everyone in that area will be knocked out good. If the space is larger it will take longer of course to spread, but after about 5 minutes it will have settled down. I think after a total of 7 minutes you are safe to enter."
