Endgame Earth

[Cifero Windtail]

Jared swooped down right in front of Nova. "Sir," he said. "The other consumer has been taken care of. Also, glad you found those two." He looked around. "So... where are the vehicles?"

[Luke White-Heart]

    Nova heard Katelyn's question and without even turning around for a second shouted, "They were prisoners! Caged like pets down in the basement by the humans. I don't know who they are, or why the humans threw them down there, and frankly I don't give a shit. They couldn't have deserved that." He continued stalking towards the garage with the fur over his shoulder and gripping the jacket and saber tightly in his other hand. He felt like he could spit acid and cried out, "All this time we've done our best to coexist with them! We've never asked them for anything, we've stayed out of their way! And they promised they wouldn't do anything to us, they swore all they wanted was peace! They're all the same, all these humans are the goddamn same!" He stopped abruptly and realized what he had just said. Quickly he turned to Himawari and sputtered, "I... I didn't mean you... Dammit, I know you wouldn't do what they did. That wasn't meant to apply to you, I mean-" his desperate rambling was cut short by a very angry looking figure, who Nova recognized as Luke, coming towards him. "Hey Luke," Nova said somewhat warily, "what is it?"

 
Luke was in a huff when he returned to Nova. He asked what was wrong, but Luke was barely containing his emotions so he was afraid to open his muzzle to respond. Instead, he just shook his head, ears back angrily. He would speak to him later.

[NovaAurora]

    Nova was worried by Luke's response. He wondered what it could have been that upset him so badly, but decided it was best to let Luke speak when he was ready. Instead Nova resumed his walk towards the garage. As he approached it, however, his jaw dropped. Katelyn was already there and examining the contents, and inside the building was everything he could have imagined for transportation and more. He almost ran up to Katelyn, but placed the unconscious fur gently against a support pillar along with the jacket and saber before going inside. "My god..." he gasped as he walked between the veritable armada of trucks and machinery. "I knew they had vehicles stockpiled, but this... This is beyond anything I had imagined." He turned to Katelyn, barely able to contain his excitement. "Do you see what this means?! Our plan might really work! After all this time, we can finally start over and be set free from the grip of the city." He trotted over to the driver's side of the armored humvee and got in, stroking the steering wheel almost affectionately. "Hehe, this baby is gonna be mine!"

Warren tried to be as active as he could on a mental capacity. He couldn't see much out of his half shut eyelid but he gathered as much that he was on the move and in a potentially good way. He could hear noises and his senses were very slowly beginning to pick up gain, though the paralysis. It crossed his mind that whatever knocked him out was clearly slowly wearing off. For now however, Warren decided to try move his fingers and toes to the best of his paralysed ability.

Walking around each vehicle in turn they where all battle ready. Each had a set of heavy off road tires and some degree of metal plating.  But that was now the least of her concern as her eyes went to the work benches in the back. Allot of them where devoted to the cars but there where also weapon smiting benches. She could tell right away by how the clamps where, the various parts and tools that laid on the table top, and how it was allot smoother and cleaner then the rest. Approaching the bench a tear came to her eye renumbering her father shop. Placing both hands on the work table as she would of done many times before it felt so right, that she could just make anything her heart wanted. But things where different now, and time was scarce. Stepping away lightly she looked around seeing many parts of interest, allot that could be re-used, and even tools better then her own. Taking a deep breath she set her bag on the ground and began sorting through the bins and tubs, pulling out parts at what seemed to be random.

(WHAT IN THE HELL THIS IS NOT WHAT I POSTED...)
Jared nodded, examining an ATV. "They kept them in good condition, that's for sure," he said. He glanced over at Nova. "Sir... should i check the camp for other captured furs?"

[NovaAurora]

    Nova looked up at Jared. "You can take a look around if you want, but don't get too involved with anything. We should be getting out of here as quickly as possible." He sighed and opened the door of the humvee, jumping out. "Alright everyone," he said looking around. "I'm going to run back and get all the others. Load all the supplies you can get from the garage into the vehicles, and once I get back we'll get the hell out of this place." With that he sprinted off out of the compound, heading towards the street a few blocks away where all the non-fighting furs were currently waiting.

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke looked around the garage, staring at the vehicles around him. Furs were loading into humvees, checking weapons, and generally preparing. He saw Nova sprinting off back into the compound and wondered where he could be going.
Luke heaved himself into a humvee and belted in. Then he opened his pack and stared at Daniel's file, not really seeing it. Finally, he had a trail tp follow, rather than just wandering aimlessly. He didn't know what to do with it.

[NovaAurora]

    Nova sprinted back through the broken city to the others, hoping that nothing bad had befallen them during the raid. He was relieved to find everyone intact, scared, but intact. Addressing the crowd he proclaimed, "We've done it, we're in the compound, and there are more vehicles and supplies than I ever dreamed!" He was breathing heavily, partially from the sprinting and partially from sheer excitement. "Quickly now, we must move. Follow me." He started the run back to the compound, leading the mass of survivors behind him.


    In minutes they were there, Nova followed by the whole resistance behind him. He jogged up to the garage and saw that much progress had been made, and most of the supplies which could be transported were indeed loaded into the array of vans, trucks, and armored vehicles. Taking a moment to catch his breath, he spoke to everyone: "Everyone's here now, and I wish to linger no longer. Load the last of what you can carry into the vehicles, and let us be off." He walked over to the unconscious fur still propped against the garage support and heaved him onto his shoulder. "Alright, you're coming with me," he said as he once again picked up the jacket and saber in his free hand. With his load he went over to the humvee, which he saw Luke was already in looking at some sort of file or papers. "I wonder what he could have found..." Nova thought to himself as he opened the back door of the humvee and placed the fur inside. "I'll have to ask him once he's in a better mood again." He finished belting the unconscious fur in with the jacket and saber and shut the door.

Pulling out part after part it as more then she could of ever hoped for. With all of these pieces she could of made four new rifles easy, but most of the parts where mish-mashed. Each one would need cleaning as they where all mostly rusted. But still it was a treasure trove to her as she resorted to picking a random bag from one of the shelves, dumping the contents, and refilling it with what she found salvageable. With her new bag she held it in her right hand, the double layer plastic bulging out in various spots from the parts and tools. Turning around she was a bit surprised to see all of the other survivors already in the compound, waiting for things to get going. Walking briskly to the armored humvee she saw Nova dump one of the furs from the prison into the jeep. "Hey Nova, have room for one more?"

[Cifero Windtail]

"Or maybe two?" Jared said, walking in with another unconscious fur on his back. "Found her locked up in another area... there were some non-human weapons too. Must be hers... however, she seems to be in slightly better condition..."

[Takamei Edevane]

Ip looked down the end of the poorly lit room, where there was a dim light that lit up a small desk. He closed the door behind him, and walked to the other side whilst looking on the shelves on either side. Finally he approached the desk, and looked around on it. There appeared to be a pencil and scraps of paper. Ip took off his bag and placed his weapon on the desk after looking back around to check for anything that may endanger him. He stuffed the pencil and paper into his bag, then opening one of the draws which revealed a map along with a compass. Picking it up he shoved it into his bag, as well as some poorly made 9mm ammunition made from scrap metal.

Ip zipped up his bag and slung it back on before he picked up his weapon back up. Suddenly there was a noise of metal dropping behind him. He whipped around, poising his gun in the direction of the disturbance. There was something moving behind the shelf. His eyes locked and fully concentrated, he stepped to the side slightly to see what was hiding. His eye following the sights on his weapon and his finger wrapped around the trigger. It was a human, holding what appeared to be an AK 47 that was being raised in Ip's direction. For that moment it seemed as if time slowed down, Ip knew what Nova had said about unnecessary killing and Ip felt confident in his choice to kill this human. But at the last moment a part of him hesitated as he pulled the trigger. Just as the human had raised his weapon, Ip had fired but missed had unintentionally. The human startled and looking around to where the bullets had seemed to hit whilst lowering his weapon in one hand. Ip held his gun still. The human with the look of fear in his eyes, started to put his weapon on the ground with his shakey hands. He looked up and started to walk towards Ip slowly and cautiously. He started pleading "p-please d-don't" he stuttered. Ip gave a slight smile and strode up to the human smacking him round the head with the butt of his gun. The human fell going completely limp. He smiled, and gave a slight chuckle whilst prodding the human with his foot. He then wondered how the human was conscious. He then realised that there were no windows to the small store room but a little gas may have seeped under the doorway. The human did seem a little woozy, unconscious now with a little help.

Ip looked around the room once more and then left through the door. Looking over at the garage there seemed to be a buzz of activity and so made his way over. Walking over to Nova he noticed the unconscious furs. "Nova, I see we are leaving within a few moments. But before we do I would like to hand this over to you as it may prove useful in future planning, and your leadership." taking from his bag the map and compass. "And who are these?" He said whilst looking at the unconscious furs and looking back. 

[MrRazot]

Warren was semi-concious by the time he was placed in the humvee and was slowly working out of his paralysis. He saw his jacket and saber next to him in the cornet of his eye and desperately tried to make sure that it was indeed his. This was much harder that it should have been and Warren simply ended up slumping his head to the side. Finally he identified his stuff and he shed a small tear of happiness that he was reunited with his gear.


Warren's new fear, however, was whether this new group of people were malicious in intent.


Warren slumped further and lied down on his gear. He noticed there was another fur in the front seat and wondered if he had gained his attention and whether it would have been a good thing or not. The thought as to how he ended up in this state of paralysis was playing through his mind and entertained him for a while. Should interrogation come, he would certainly ask that question. Now all thoughts lead to trying to either a) try move and get out of here, b) try move and get attention and get taken into custody or c) try moving but only a little bit and have everyone think he's still paralysed so he can run away given a good opportunity.


For now he would try to wiggle his toes... wow... that worked...


Warren now started wondering about if the humans were effected by whatever got to him and whether they were waking up...

[Cifero Windtail]

Jared suddenly pricked up his ears and looked at one of the furs in the van. "Hang on," he said. "I think one of them is conscious... i just saw his feet move slightly... I think."

[NovaAurora]

    Nova glanced over at Katelyn and Jared. "Yes, by all means get in," he said, gesturing to the backseat of the humvee which still had two spots left. Then he noticed Ip approaching him. "Oh wow, this could be extremely useful." Nova said, gladly accepting the items from Ip. The map seemed to show all of New York state, without many markings, but still showing major roads and, even better, abandoned military installations. Just skimming over the map Nova saw something that made him very hopeful- a military base which he knew to have existed, but thought was most definitely destroyed after the war, apparently was still there. Located on the fertile soil of upstate New York and protected from the North and West by the Adirondack mountain range, it had been used primarily for missile launches and harboring stealth/recon vehicles and equipment. It would make a perfect location for a permanent HQ, assuming they could clear the area of consumers for good. His concentration was broken by Jared's voice behind him. "Wait what?" Nova said with a tone of concern. "Shit, that must mean the gas is beginning to wear off. Everybody, get in the vehicles now, we've gotta get out of here!" He jogged over to the mass of non-fighters and directed them all to vehicles until they each had a place to go. Once that was taken care of he stood in front of his newfound fleet and yelled out, "Is anybody not ready?"
