Phase 3: Mission 153

Characters: Grand Canyon mission goers, victims, medics
Location: Grand Canyon
Rating: R
Time: Feb 5, 2009, mission starts at dawn
Description: Event links list.


The scouts had done their jobs well and the mirror deposits its travelers just at the end of the area Shibusen has closed off as their mission target. It's still dawn, the sun barely visible over the horizon. The witches hasn't noticed them there yet, the scouts say, so it's still possible to take them by surprise.

This is what the agents are told: In the rock face of the Grand Canyon is a cavern system made up of many small caves and three large ones. The large caves contain a kishin egg pit, the kidnapped agents and civilians, and what appears to be a machine at one end. There are about five dozen zombies crawling the area, and an equal number of ants, spiders, and ravens on top of it.

Worst of all, the scouts report that they had sighted a few of the agents patrolling for the Witches. The scouts hadn't been certain if these ones had soul perception or other abilities, and had given the area as much space as they could in order to avoid an early confrontation. Still, it's bad news and it looks like a fight with some of the kidnappees themselves is inevitable.

Not much time is given to the agents after the briefing before they're being ushered into place. A few scouts are going to be causing a commotion some distance away to distract the familiars and zombies, clearing a path for the agents. After that, it's all up to them.


[ooc: Just put up your own threads with the subject line [Characters][Feeding Cave/MMM Cave/Kishin Egg Pit/Elsewhere][Open/Close]
Kidnappees can go thread in the caves while waiting for the rescuers, too.
For those who want to thread with a witch, please add it in the subject line so we know where to go!
This day change will be one week irl.
The mirror will stay open for anyone who needs to be rushed back to the medics.
For those handwaving, please put your summaries here for the meister points and soul tally record.]

Allen had been intent on pushing forward, even if it meant splitting off from the others, but that sound threw him off. If he was in human form he would have frowned, unsure which way to go next. On the one hand, they weren't certain anyone was down that way, and they may not be strong enough to fight anything just yet. On the other hand... what if there could be someone down there who could be hurt? Someone they hadn't heard yet?

"Let's go that way," he decided after a long pause, "We should stop whatever it is before it can hurt anyone."

"Yeah. Let's just hope that that anyone doesn't include us." He grimaced, but obediently turned and moved towards the direction the noise had come from. At first his pace was still normal and hurried but the closer they came to the corridor the noises had originated from, the more the Half switched to a slower way of moving that was somehow ducked and with an animalic skill of preventing any noises of their own that would have warned whatever might or might not still be there on the other side of the rocky wall.

Coming to a halt, Leo inhaled sharply. The air was soaked with the tell-tale tangy odor of blood. "Do you smell that? Blood, and not little." Without him noticing, his lips drew back to bear his fangs. "I doubt anybody's still alive over there." Clenching his fists, he ducked and sneaked closer. Having come that far, the half-lion wanted to at least see what was going on. (It was definitely not because he wanted to make sure that they weren't abandoning anybody who might still be alive despite the odds of having that much blood spilled that it made the air stink. Or so he tried to tell himself.)
