May fortune smile upon us.





The Boss's words churned thoughts in Kveer's mind. What were the origins of such a phrase? It seemed so second nature in terms of offering a good luck, but was Fortune once an entity or was it just a random personification? Useless thoughts of a groggy mind. Kveer rose to a stand, stretching as the silhouette disappeared to give way to the three dimensional fire pit. The stretch brought his arms high above his head, his back arching as he felt the sweet relief of released tension. Last night's unexpected clean up in the restroom was unwelcoming to the insomniac. With that notion in mind, Kveer found his head turning towards his raised arm just before he released his stretch to subtly sniff the sleeve of his armor. Did it smell like a hint of piss or was he becoming psychosomatic?


Senthus gave his orders, and Kveer complied without verbal response. He had fifteen minutes to gather his items from the armory and meet up with the rest of the crew in the cargo bay. Lethargically, the biotic made his way to the armory, grabbing his one pistol and yawning as he shuffled over to the reserves of weapons. Since he carried so little on his person, he pilfered through the assortment of generic, uninteresting rifles likely in dire need of upgrades. But it would serve its purpose as filling in should someone lose a weapon.


With that, he headed for the cargo bay ready for the mission.

After the meeting was over, Radcet leaves the room and heads to the armory for one last visit before the departure. As he progresses towards the armory he calls up chester, "send a message to senthus and tell him if we could fly the ship." Chester pops up in his screen and quickly sends the message, he gives a thumbs up and the two arrive in the armory. Radcet checked over the ammunition section and grabbed whatever ammo types he needed and an extra grenade, then found a nice tactical knife with a odd sharp curve. He decided to take it and then heads to the hanger.

Senthus mentally sighed as Saraya almost immediately questioned him. Hopefully this wasn't a sign for how the rest of the mission was gonna go. His mandibles clicked in a manner akin to a human grasping the bridge of their nose. "If you're ready, go to the Cargo Bay and wait for everyone else.", he said this in a tone not so much commanding, as simply solidly confident.


He didn't wait for a response, simply walking off to his room. He collected his Locust, his inferno and chemical rounds, and donned his armor. He put the one thing he never fights without around his neck, and counted himself ready. As he was heading for the Cargo Bay Radcet messaged him. He asked to fly. Senthus sent an affirmative back and headed to the Bay. Lets hope things aren't too hectic.

The ground team was now fully assembled, envirosuits donned and weapons loaded. Senthus had gathered them all into a general cluster in the cargo bay, about as much as he could hope for from untrained mercenaries. Radcet had taken the initiative and ran the pre-flight checks on the shuttle before the team had assembled. The Plenix had now broken atmo and was cruising gently towards the intended launch apex, the ideal altitude for the shuttle to make it's flight. Radcet opened the shuttle doors and honked the horn twice just for good measure. The ground team piled in, finding whatever seating they could in the compact vessel. When they were all sorted Senthus radioed Darnot and informed him they were go for launch. A monotone 'acknowledged' rang through his headset as Darnot opened the cargo bay door from his dash on the bridge. He began to count down to their intended launch time, droning on in an almost intentional manner. When the launch command was given, Radcet eased the controls forward and the shuttle zipped out of the hold and into the cold skies of Noveria.


The wind was rough, but thankfully it wasn't blizzard weather so it was reasonably safe to fly the shuttle through. As the Plenix made it's ascent to standby in orbit, the shuttle sailed along smoothly enough through the frozen gusts and gales. Light snow peppered the hull as the shuttle plodded forward, following the directions described on the holomap. It didn't take long for those near the bow of the shuttle to see their destination looming on the horizon. The largest part of the lab seemed to be an antennae array setup on a nearby mountain peak, extensively reinforced and insulated against the elements. The lab itself was difficult to spot as only a few pieces of it stuck out from the snow. Apparently much of it had been submerged in the rock and ice for structural integrity, and probably as an added security measure. The shuttle bay itself would have been invisible against the white mountainside had the skies not cleared and the sun been shining directly on it.


The shuttle slowed to a stop at their designated waiting zone and began to hover. Now it was up to Senthus to hail the facility and transfer the codes he had been given before. Their first mission was now officially underway.
