Coalition Operations II: Escape from New Colorado

[Vosur Aekira]

Sora returned her attention back to Mesmerin as she followed his lead. "You mentioned that Weyland-Yutani quarantined the planet, so I could guess that whatever it is could be a bio-hazard of some kind. Could they be working with the Cerberus organization? The Systems Alliance government have been trying to track them down for years but they are still creating illegal weapons, including bio-weapons."

[Romulan_Furry]

"PCD," Mesmerin repeated. "Personal Cloaking Device. Very useful for slipping about unseen, especially at night. These will allow us to get away from that entourage of yours, but if my vision was correct, don't rely on them too heavily; they will not fool the Xenomorphs. They can track us by our pheremones, and regrettably, the PCDs don't conceal those." He looked to Sora. "I don't suppose you'll need one? I keep a few pairs on hand in case I need to help VIPs get to safety, especially in urban environments. And if WY was working with the Cerberus Organization, I never came across mention of it. As I said earlier, I suspect that WY ship that crashed was carrying at least Xenomorph eggs." He paused, waiting for Emila to take or reject the gauntlets. "But unless those things have a queen or empress here, it would be impossible for them to reproduce. The queen produces the eggs that contain... unless..." Mesmerin again paused, apparently something new occurring to him.

*** Sewers ***

K'Tath continued moving in the sewers, tracking the Xenomorph trail. So far, all indications were that they hadn't left this area. There were clear signs that they were still here. So why weren't they rushing him? Either they didn't know he was among them, or they didn't care. Still, K'Tath set to work immediately, setting up laser grids at all access points to the central junction, but not activating them. "Cobalt," he said quietly, "You still reading me?"

[Mikala]

Emilá dons the gauntlets. "This will be useful. Thank you."

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Sewers ***

"I can still hear you but I've lost your position." Cobalt explained "your probably under some dense urban buildings , not much I can do about that." the female Lucario replied chekcing in on something "AHH!" she screamed.

[Romulan_Furry]

"If anyone needs any gear, tell me now before I shut the aperture," Mesmerin offered. "I want to get moving before the babysitter squad realizes where we are."

*** Sewer ***

"What? What is it? Cobalt?" K'tath asked, stopping in his tracks in fear.

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Sewer ***

Cobalt let out a  sigh "Damn bird hit the side of the ship right into one of the camera sensors." Cobalt growled...

[Mikala]

"I'm good. Let's move out. We should head to the forest." She nods.

[Romulan_Furry]

"That's a hell of a long walk, Emila. We'll need transport to just get there. Even so, we should probably wait till nightfall - find a place to hole up and wait for darkness," Mesmerin said. "We could hit a campus, maybe - or a residential area. A mall, perhaps. Vanish in the crowd."

*** Sewer ***

K'Tath breathed a sigh of relief. "Please don't do that to me again..." he requested as he went back to work setting up the laser containment grid.

[Alessia Starfurr]

"I reccomend the mall." Kyva chimed in on his opinion.



*** Sewer ***
"Tell that to the damn bird." cobalt replied. "odd that the police scanners have been pretty quiet...

[Romulan_Furry]

Eddie returned Rae's nod. "We'd better get back into town, find Mesmerin," he said. Looking to Jayce, he added, "You'd better come with us. As far as I'm concerned, whatever you did is irrelevant at this point; we need to stick together."

*** Sewer ***

"Course they are - this is a sleepy town. And hopefully, we can keep it sleepy," K'Tath replied.

[Alessia Starfurr]

"What about Jay's body?" Rae asked.



*** Sewer ***

"But they've already reported 3 missing..." Cobalt pointed out.

[Vosur Aekira]

"Yeah, I'll go for one." Sora spoke as she accepted one of the cloaking devices. "And I kinda want to get to the bottom of this. If WY has the planet quarantined, it'll be hard for me to get a transmission out to Systems Alliance government for recovery, and I know they're not going to be happy that a corporation is doing this."

[Mikala]

She shrugs. "Let's go to the mall then. This all makes me uneasy..."

[Rayleonarde]

Jayce nodded. “O-Of course.” He returned his attention to the body, then the trees. “I’m not sure we should’ve moved the body. I’m sure our hunter wants it to stay...” He reached for the rifle that should’ve been on his back. “My hunting gear’s in my ship. Back at the landing pads.”

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Woodland Area ***

"What about Jay's body?" Rae asked.

"We'll call the coroner to pick it up - we can't transport a dead body on a Police Cruiser," Eddie said.

Jayce nodded. “O-Of course.” He returned his attention to the body, then the trees. “I’m not sure we should’ve moved the body. I’m sure our hunter wants it to stay...” He reached for the rifle that should’ve been on his back. “My hunting gear’s in my ship. Back at the landing pads.”

Eddie looked to Jayce. "We'll hit the landing pads as we look for Mesmerin," he told him.

*** Sewer ***

"But they've already reported 3 missing..." Cobalt pointed out.

"Three?" K'Tath responded. "The hunter and his kid were two, who was the third?"

*** Gunnison, New Colorado ***

Mesmerin handed Sora her own PCD. "I suspect the quarantine is just the beginning," he commented.

She shrugs. "Let's go to the mall then. This all makes me uneasy..."

"You're not the only one, pal," Mesmerin said to her. He shut the aperture, and stored it. "Just key the combination 0-3-5 to activate the PCD, and it stays on till deactivated or shorted out. We can go together or split up to the mall, but I'd recommend going under cloak; no telling what reaction a group of armed individuals like us is gonna get."
