[OPEN] Mission 155

Characters: Open to those who signed up here.
Location: An unmarked cavern system outside Death City.
Rating: Various.
Time: March 18th, sunrise.
Description: Shibusen agents brave underwater caverns to take out the first of three Madness emitters.

Missiongoers pile out of the mirrors early in the morning, just as the first hints of sun start to color the walls of the sandstone canyon red and purple; it'll be the last bits of real light they'll see for at least a few hours. The atmosphere is electric -- there're quite a few new (and old) arrivals who're eager to see some action, but just as many people who're feeling rather more apprehensive… And for good reason.

The only way to their destination is blocked by a few hundred yards of sunken tunnels. Luckily they've been provided with mouthpieces, breathing apparatuses with enough oxygen to last about ten minutes: more than enough time, provided that the guests don't lose their way in the dimly-lit, twisted caverns. It's as easy as following the person in front of them, right?

Upon emerging safely from the pool onto mostly-dry land, they'll find themselves in an immense cavern, illuminated by countless, blue fungi clinging to the walls and ceiling, looking like stars dotting a night sky. Already the first signs of the way Madness has been corrupting the wildlife are evident: the mushrooms exude strange spores that make some people's head pound the same way the increasingly noticeable Madness wavelength does.

As they travel further into the watery caves and explore its many branches, they'll begin to encounter creatures twisted by Madness: moles, snakes, beetles, centipedes, all grown to monstrous proportions, some with a venomous bite that quickly turns their victim feverish and delirious. The more daring fighters can easily dispatch those and delve even deeper, and it's near the source of the Madness, in the chamber housing the emitter itself, that they'll encounter the kishin eggs.

There're dozens of them-- eyeless, white, vaguely human-shaped things, but despite their blindness they have no problem finding their quarry, fighting with claws and exuding their own Madness wavelength. If the missiongoers can stand strong against the kishin eggs and the ever-present wavelength given off by the Madness emitter, Shibusen's specialists will have enough time to shut the machine down for good.

One advantage about being a robot? Not needing to breathe. Zero eschewed the scuba gear to run his way through the underwater tunnel. He did take a borrowed sword with him and it proved handy for trying to slice apart wildlife.

Concentrating on killer monsters was better than listening to Sigma's ugly laugh trying to echo into his brain. He saw someone else engaging in combat and ran to help them out. "You all right?" he asked.

Dirk spun when he heard someone approaching, bringing his sword up in uncomfortably close proximity to Zero's face. When he realized it was another person from the city and not a creature, he pulled his weapon back.

"Jesus dude, don't just jump out at me like that," he said as he turned back, making sure nobody had gotten the idea to sneak up on him. "Yeah. I'm doin' peachy," he said as he wiped some sweat from his brow with one arm. "How about you?"

Zero started, not moving when the sword came really close to slicing into his helmet. "All right. Anything really large running along here?"
