(NOOOOOOOO SOMEBODYIES STOLEN MY SIGANTURE MASK!!!!!! I AM NOTHING NOW!!! Just kidding dude, I like you char also )


Falco stood up, and started to sprint to the stairs, while trying to dodge the bullets that were repeatedly firing right behind him. He got trhough the door to the stairways, and jumped over the banister to the other side of the staircase lower down. Repeatedly doing this.

Then he stopped, and realised what would happen if he left the building. They would undoibtedy be there, and he would have a slim chance of surviving against that number of soldiers. He would have to think of something else. Fast, the building would soon collapse. Then he thought of it. It was crazy but it was his only option. The soldiers had a heavy repeater, which therefore means that it must be on one of thier hight-tech helicopters. It was man operated, which meant that it wasn't completely sealed.

Then Falco stopped thinking it through and started to cimb back up the stairs, until he was on the top floor, overseeing all the other buildings around him. It was crazy, but he had to do it. He walked over to the edge, and saw the helicopter, the man who was operating the repeater saw him, and then the helicopter began to rise. He quickly took quite a few steps back, and waited.

Suddenly, the building let out a loud wail, and Falco knew it was collapsing. He had to do it know. He began to run, increasing his pace until he was at a sprinting pace, and took out his plas pistol. He saw the helicopter just before he reached the edge, and he leaped, using all the agility, and skills he had obtained in his life, and the ones he was born with. He fired his plas pistol at the man operating the repeater, and took him out, as the man fell back, his skin charred. The easy bit was over, now he prayed quickly, and prepared himself...

Falco jumps into space, the helicopter pilot sees the manouvre3 and tries to swerve, however falco grabs the landing rail and pumps a shot from his pistol into the bracket, swinging on the other bracket he flys forwards and up into the rear compartment.

Behind him the building collapses, thousands of tons of rubble thunder down and obliterate the police on the ground, you wince inwardly.

you fire a quick shot through the cockpit but only succeed in smashing the window. then you get an idea.

Swiveling the SSLU heavy repeater around you blast the operator from point blank range, the rods disintegrateing as they hit him killing him but leaving the mechanisms of the craft unharmed.

Even so the man flys through the windscreen taking the last of the glass with him, his limp body falls down to earth and is consumed by the falling rubble

you swing th pilots chair around and sit into it, blankly staring at the controls for a sec you remember the advice of a collegue, ignore evrything but the pedals and the steering column

you dont see any pedals but a set of important looking levers get your attention, you soon work out what makes the hovering vehicle move and you guide it to your destination which is.....

(Nocturne) As the highest ranking sniper in your cell of the cult, there are only three other men in the world who are better at setting up observation on a target, two of them are sleepers, the other was the man who you generally learnt your trade of.

Anyhoo you spend the day posing as a mechanic, gaining entry to the main building to set up "extended warranty electrical devices" (cameras and mics) after a time you thank them and give them your bill, you leave their building and take your equipment to the position you intend to use as your observation post.

Your reasoning for not killing them is simple, you dont have an exit, you dont have a plan, never break the 11th commandment, "thou shalt not get caught"

Reaching your OP you set up a complicated series of moniter banks and begin to watch the movements and outines of your prey.

On screen a 404 error comes up: cannot find hardware due to electrical fault.

you run a quick diagnostic and realize that the only error is that the cameras are doing exactly as they should, draining the power leaching of the fibre optic cables in the house

You grin to yourself as you reboot the camera and see it flicker into life "Theyre even paying the bill"

i see a point in their routine at night because they are both sleeping for only five minites in that time the bringer will start the hunt.

"finally a weak spot in the strong beast"

and with that he started to prepare for the next night it will be close combat his favourite kills

my plan is to open a window and go through it silently waking the first and slit his throat while he sees my mask. this guy was the 1 who needed to be the the gaurd then take the dude who is sleeping by waking him and killing him with my knifes 1 in the heart 1 in the neck i dont want them to scream. then i leave by that same window or by the door or by the ventilation circuit. i have noticed that thanks to the cameras.

there is no alarm due to the drainage of power

Beta choses the most acurate rifle and then desides to do the most sencible thing. KILL!

Falco let out a loud sigh of relief. It had worked, he was safe for now. Time to return to base.

He talked through the comms, hoping that his brother was okay and that he had connection.

"Jason, brother. I'm okay, it was a trap all allong. I don't know how, but they knew we were coming. I'm heading back to base now."

"Okay I read. I'll make my way back then, see ya there."

(noturne) You wait till dark when every thing is quiet.
Moving out onto the streets you see a heavy police prescence, but you are still wearing the mechanics uniform so you are completely innocuous. When you reach the building you swiftly move around the side of the house, camly opening a window with a multitool you slip inside.

The room you enter has a couple of computer banks but you have already determined that all of their files are "hardware incripted" completely unhackable. Moving your way to the bedroom you are on the lookout for the one who is awake.

You hear a pair of footfalls on the carpet outside the room your in, there appears to be a music player set into the wall, its a corner room so to full walls of windows but all are "blacked" for the night. There is little furniture but it is quite large and the door where the sound is coming from is in the middle of a wall.

(your gig from here)

(reaper)(are you changing your name?) You quickly kit up from the stores there, taking ammo and clothing and an old military bergan (big backpack) stuffing ammo for your rifle you look around, for anything else you may want...

(kais) You have a longish drive in the heli ahead of you, you turn it to silent mode and set up the auto pilot, above you the rotors flick to a different angle nd become completely silent, unfortunately this means the cabin lights all dim as well for stealth. Not to worry yoou were thinking about sleeping anyway, activating the heli's onboard active camo and sealing the doors you take a kip in the pilots seat as the heli sends you whirring to your base.

(next post from you is whn you land)

If there are tracks... And why were there fights? We have one side, but where is the other? I think we should follow the tracks, but be on guard.

as your men fan out you slowly begin to lose the tracks, as if the weight of the maker is slowly lessening over time, to confirm this you can see several spent casings of an old grade of sniper rifle, the weapon was made before the plague.

'Sleepers- but who are they fighting?'
'I will go look for more clues in the sniper bunker!'

Heading back to the snipers den you look carefully through everything, in one of the bags left behind you find a small tape recorder, listening to it you hear reports of a OP that has been in place for a long time, the convoy has been set up as a target.

The OP has been in position for a long time and lots of valuable data is recorded, also you find that the sleepers arnt as unified as everyone has thought, this sniper was not part of the group that attacked the convoy in fact....
*into your radio you frantically yell, "its a trap theres more of them!!!"

All good mate, give us an intro and you good to go, make sure you read all the plot because ill get mighty grumpy if you screw up

"let the harvest begin"

and with that he went into the room where they were asleep he saw the 1 lying on his back facing the window

"perfect"

the bringer sneaked behind him and grabbed his knife.
he silently reached for the neck and grabbed it. the sleeper woke up. he wanted to yell but it was too late his throut was cut off. he looked for any clues of explosive devices in the body but couldnt find anything.

then he went for the next one.

he was sleeping vastly.
the bringer knew there was somthing with the ticking in the wall thats why before he slit the throat of the sleeper he searched him. and there it was. a remote linked at the wireless bomb it was inmplanted in the heart that when it stopt pumping blood he would set the bomb of.

"damnit i know this stuff and i know how to defuse it. but its gonna be though."

with that the bringer planted his knife in the heart removing the remote and destroyed it before it could sent the signal.

"this is one of the hunts i like an challenging one"

he went to the first victim and planted his knife in the chin.

"i need to bring some trophies"

he tore the face clean of he did the same with the second.

lets see if i can find some spoils.

and with that he searched the appartement.

K I will hopefully do it later today

"Its a trap!" came through the radio and the whole squad dived for cover behind trees and walls

"I've arrived, landing now."

On the ground is a deserted space, until I press a button on my headset and the ground parts, leaving a huge area exposed. A landing pad.

I try to land nice and easy on the pad. Once I have touched the ground.

"Landed."

I exit the helicopter and head through a door on the right of the landing pad, before pressing the button on my headset again, which makes the ground close up again, leaving no trace of the base.

(nocturne) With the two sleepers dead you move confidently through the house, you know where every inch of security is from your surveilence, you erase all evidence of your entry and leave the bodies where they are, you search the house and find: 2* Civilian MPP (just looks different), 2* Plas Repeater, and a VIPW

(Vulkan) As the squad hit the ground, a series of sharp cracks hit the air, and chuncks of the trees around you are torn out. Unsure of what weapons the new comers are using you try to mentally search your head of all weaponry knowlege, then it comes to you, they are using a weapon so old that bullets for it are antique pieces, an AK47. You realize that the sleepers have made one fatal mistake, they left you alive. Crouching slightly and looking through some cover you see two walking slowly forwards on your left, and two on your right, between them and furthur back you see two standing with old, old, old, RPG weapons.

You calmly check your weapons and prepare to massacre them.

(kais) After the landing you head through your base to the briefing room and you debrief your brother on what happened, the both of you realize that the contract has just become alot more serious and your going to need help.

take it and leave the place.
and with that i left and rushed back to the base

upon arriving at the base an acolyte meets you

"the reaper is waiting"

"how did he..?"

"the reaper always knows"

as you enter the reapers inner sanctum he turns to you and gestures to a corner, from there a cloaked man walks forward, the reaper adresses you

"please hand over any weaponry or items you took from the house, you may keep your trophies"

*this is one of the few times i will give you a straight up choice, at times like this there is always consequences and benifits of both paths*

A: give the cloacked man the weapons

B: refuse

Uhh is it ok If I could get some options?

A.(because that was why i took it anyway)

"my great lord i have those weapons so you can use or sell them i want to see the dark rose become even more "beautiful"."

right sorry reaper, now that you have your weapons you listen to some radio for a while and you here of a hit on a Merc convoy just out of the city, pulling up a commscreen from the wall beside you you tap in the coordinates of the hit and you get a topogaphical map, after a quick study you realize that youve been there before.

(remember this is more about you deciding what you want to do rather than me leading you along by your nose)

(nucturne) the man comes forwards, bows to you and takes the weapons,

the reaper nods briefly and gestures to the man, who takes from his robes an ornate Plas pistol, "this new model is completely silent and recharges almost instantly, it is also completely stealth ready with no lights or other indicators, i would like you to have it in recognition of the services you providee to the cult."
