And...the deeper we dig the more it smells, the more it smells the less chance that plans will work.
The less chance of success the higher the body count. Not Good
Except that Marcus is not supposed to make contact with Dolly and Ceci if it can be avoided. (Dolly and Ceci weren't even supposed to be here, going by Cent's original plan.)
They are assets in place yes, but the goal is to keep them out of the picture as much as possible to avoid Dolly getting hurt, killed, captured or worse... after all.. she is expensive topsecret tech that can not fall in to the hands of any one else..
Sometimes it feels like Dolly doesn't just plan to be involved, but plans to be THE rescue effort. Everything else is just tools and fireworks to distract Decimus while she separates his life from his body. Unless of course that has to be avoided to save Lynn. Then the separation will be stealthy as fuck at a later date.
I have my orders, and will carry them out the best I can, and improvise along the way as I need to.. as the old saying goes, needs must when the devil drives.
Say Major, what kind of ops have you done that are close to this? Can you tell stories without breaking opsec and vows of secrecy? And how do you rate the odds of the most likely outcomes of the mission so far?
sadly, due to the nature of my past missions I am unable disclose the contents, or the nature of previous encounters... perhaps as events unfold Centcom will unlock some of the contents of those files.
as to my assessment of the out come of the mission, its any ones game, the objective is to start the action moving before Dolly and Ceci have a chance to start getting involved and then get every one out before the prince knows that we were there.. I am very much aware of Dolly tenacity and that it will be difficult if not impossible to keep her out of the action, but also have plans in place if need be to address that if it becomes an issue.
with the attempt on the princes life, it means that the place will be on high alert, and more of the rebels are going to end up dead.. we will do our best to keep the body count low, but no promises when the lasers start flying.
Actually any major that goes straigt for the overkill is both incompetent and either most likely dead or in prison by/after his second mission the latest.
If someone has been playing around with the security for Decades, that would mean BEFORE Decimus took power. (looks at Rose) What have you been up to, young lady?
You are NOT innocent, Rose. We don't buy that at ALL. :-D
And Aeneas doesn't have any need to bypass security, Rash. He still, has access to security protocols and cameras around the palace. Can't see what he would gain by hacking into the palace himself.
If you read Dr Silvers comments more closely, you will notice she does not mention wether the system has been tinkered with in order to improve it, or to dismantle it. At this point, it could be either way.
And puppies are definately innocent - Just look at me! :)
Don't forget there's not just dismantle or improve as options here. But also change to do your bidding (at least to some degree) without affecting its overall efficiency.
the armor over her chest IS bigger than her . its designed to stop shells and other incoming projectiles .. so yeah bulk but Silver wants to look good as well so shes customized it to the gills.. Tony Stark would LOVE her :D or hate her.
You need follow-up action to draw in the security forces, or else they just send out the firefighters and paramedics and the security goes into high-alert making area sweeps and locking down all the non-essentials. This is why Marcus is trying to arrange a *dancing* party here.
Exactly, I need as much of their resources tied up in other activities to leave room for my team to work, the fact that an assassination attempt has occured makes things dramatically more difficult, not impossible but no longer a simple grab and go mission.. we think on our feet, its always been said that no plain survives first contact.. we modify and adapt as we need to.
Oblivion drones! Damn I loved that movie.
Maybe if we keep using different armor textures like this no one will notice except me and you. :)
What are the other drones in the background? I don't recognize those.
So much techy cool goodness in Datachasers!
Real good job Kyle: along with getting yourself shot, you managed to fuck up Rosie's *and* Commie's plans... The extra body count goes on your account.
I do find it interesting the POV that is being maintained.
Also, I wonder if the palace sec changes are due to Rose?
The less chance of success the higher the body count.
Not Good
Dolly has other plans, she does.
She WILL be involved!

no reason to Auto blame rose
Oh, and Rose could never be innocent!
Me on the other hand, I'm totally innocent. :)
She might have been secretly looking for a way to neutralize Decimus's contingencies, but evidence of that would still be less than 10 years old.
And puppies are definately innocent - Just look at me! :)
...and maybe Rose has installed more contingencies into the security procedures - she should be aware of the second rescue party by now...
Just a bit of boom-boom and burn-burn, and you should have a nice alert going on!

It wasn't me who placed that can of worms there!

hehe I made some custom textures for the assault drones I think the others are stock " the Sentry drone " and the "Drone eye"
I always find it amusing when we use the same models :D
