Michael woke up from another of his nightmares, screaming in agony. When he looked at the clock, he noticed it was 2:30 in the morning. It was still another two hours until it was time for the briefing. He didn't want to go back to sleep so he grabbed his M4 SOPMOD and a suppressor and went to the firing range. Once settled in a comfortable prone position, he started pulling the trigger.

"Glad to see your awake" Damion said behind Michael. Damion had his sunglasses on and he apparently wasn't much of a sleeper, because he was neither sleepy nor tired. "You hear about the mission their sending us on? Rio De Janeiro. Something about a slave trader i think...." he told him, leaning against the side of a buildings. He was polishing his twin Deagles. Damion looked up at him. "You know, it would be nice if they served food at this time...."

Mechanical clanking, heavy footsteps, and occasional bursts of steam alerted anyone in earshot that John was up and about. A large power armor walked to the firing range, and in a mechanical voice, it said, "G'morning guys. You guys think we're ready for this next mission?" Without waiting for an answer, it turned towards one of the targets down the range, and two small artillery cannons came out of its back. After a moment of what sounded like an engine revving, it fired one shell, which obliderated the target.

Damion looked to his phone when it started beeping away. He picked it up and answered. "Hello. uh huh. Got it. Yes sir." he noted, then hanging up. "Looks like we will be soon. The General needs me to pick up the intel so we can start planning. Il be back in a sec." he noted. He left to get the intel for their mission.

It didn't take him long to find the General's Command Building. He entered, instantly saying "Sir" and saluting. "At ease Colonel". "What do you have for us sir?". "Colonel Bane, we are sending your UNIT in on this one because we need the best of the best". "Sir, you still haven't clarified who is leading though? I heard a lot of things, but im the highest ranked sir", "We are going by most knowledge on this one, and this op is right up your alley. This is the Siuation. The Slave Trader, Roach, has a huge building he is holled up in here. He has an air pad, motion sensors, Thermal Cameras, Elite Guard, and well trained mercenaries. Tommorrow, half of his guard will be at the Docks, ensuring the slaves or anyone else doesnt cause trouble. This will be our best chance at taking him down. As for the resources we are allowing you to have, well, lets just say the sky is the limit....". "Understood sir. But confirm. Did you say what i think you said?". "Yes Colonel, you get to test out The Mombasa". Then General then pointing to a large armored gunship able to hold 30 troops and a lot of supplies, and has missiles, machine guns, ANTI missile systems. THe works.

"Il leave it to you to think up of a plan" the General told him, as the Colonel left to get back to his team. As he reached the firing range, he yelled "Hey guys, i have our Op details, and i think you will like the plan i thought up!"

The top half of John's power armor turned and watched as Damion walked away, then it turned to Michael. The cockpit opened up, and John climbed out of it, and jumped down to the ground. John walked over to Michael, and asked, "What kind of gear do you think we'll be allowed on this mission? I hope we're allowed to use heavy gear, since I've had to sit out on a couple missions due to too heavy gear." John said with a laugh. He turned to his power armor and added, "Well, I do have smaller armors, but they're not as effective..." He was getting curious about what gear they would be allowed by the general to use, and anticipated Damion's return with the mission specs.

"It's the slums man. Not a lo of room for the mechs. I'm taking my M4 and shotgun and that's it. I could loan you a few weapons if need be." Michael said. He reloaded the M4 and set across his shoulders.

John pondered that for a moment, before saying, "Nah, I think I might have something small enough." He then turned and ran to his mech, quickly climbed back into the cockpit, closed the cockpit, and the mech walked off. John had a few weapons laying around, and they wouldn't be as effective as his mechs, but they would do.

(la de da, still waiting for you guys to reply... >.<)

(Sorry busy day)

Michael looked over his shoulder. Seeing the Colonel, Michael slammed the M4 down to the ground and snapped to attention. "Sir!" He said giving a crisp salute.

Damion realized he almost forgot something and saluted back. "At ease soldier. We have our mission. And i have a very good plan that you should enjoy...." he told them, signaling them over to their operations building that they were given to house their weapons, plans, operation data, supplies, and their beds. He made his way into the building, and imput the data into his computer. He then, using the device in the center, created a holographic image of the expected operation area.

He waited for his team to enter, and then began to explain. "Roach has himself holed up in a large building he bought in the city, with heavy guards and and 3 escape routes: A boat in underground tunnels and sewers filled with water, a large truck convoy, and a helicopter at the top. Our Mission: Eliminate Roach. Also, command would also like for us to try and do 2 other things. Free any slaves we come across, and kidnap someone who has been dealing with him for the past year. We are unsure who he is or what he does, but then again, thats why they want him...." he told them.

"So this is the plan. We need to Eliminate his escape through the water and air. John, i need you to cause a ruckus in the street. While this might seem like we are eliminating a ground route, this is so most of the guards go down there. there is a local gang, with huge power, but not enough to take down Roach alone. He can however send enough men to draw most of his guards away. And don't do this in the Mech, but don't worry, youl need it later. The gang, despite not being the main language in the city, use English more. Try to access the tower, and try to act drunk. Make sure to have the guards hit you down, and then curse at them in english, and tell them the gang he is in wont forget this. They will be forced to pull out their guns to kill you, but don't worry, the gang members will have heard if you yelled this, and may have already shot when you cursed at them. Soon, a firefight will occur, drawing all the guards to the front. Now you should return to the Mech, and go down into the sewers, to take out the tunnels and if you can, the boat. That will eliminate his way to escape by water and have most of his guards distracted, after that, you will need to move to the roof of this building for later..." he explained Johns role, then looked to Michael.

"Michael, you and me will be going in via The Mombasa, which they are allowing use of for this mission" he started, sounding particularly happy about the use of the gunship. he then continued "We will head to the top of the building and take out the helicopter. At this point we will both go in, and i will switch it to Autopilot, so it will keep the skies clear while we are inside. We shall move into the building, "removing" anyone in our way. At this point, the camera's will have seen us, and the motion detectors detected us. He will begin checking his escape routes, only to find the only one is the truck. We believe somewhere on that truck also has American prisoners. When John confirms seeing the truck leave, we will hurry back to the gunship to follow him. However, both of us will not be using the gunship. Michael, some wires from the building lead down to a power tower with a bunch of wires and stuff. You will use the wires and basically zipline at the right moment and land on the top of that truck" he told Michael then, explaining his major part with him.

He then began to finish up. "I will be following you, and il destroy the trucks escorts. John, when the truck passes your building, Jump on, and then you and Michael will infiltrate the back of the truck, where Roach will be, and Eliminate him. Most likely, our Mystery man will be back there too. Leave the back and seal the door from the outside, to keep him nice and locked up. Once you do so, give me a signal, and try to locate the prisoners, and i will pick up the truck using the gunships magnetic claw. Il pick up the whole truck and fly it back to base, with a confirmed Roach dead, and all secondary assignments done" he told them, then asking one final thing....

"Any Questions?"

John's excitement grew and grew as he heard about the role he would play. Causing destruction, chaos, mischief, ruckus, and all-around trouble was definitely what he did best. He was kind of disappointed he wouldn't be able to use his mech at first, but he was totally fine with that, since he had other methods of causing mayhem. Plus, anyone who knew him knew that he could pull off a great fake drunk act. He would stumble around and babble like an idiot, all without a drop of alcohol. Anyone who knew him well also knew that he knew a variety of languages, and he knew colorful language in just about every single one. John didn't like that he was planning on being hit down, and he REALLY didn't like that this plan had to be so precise that he would nearly be shot, but he would deal with it.

John really perked up when the word 'mech' was used. He thought for a minute about what kind of mech he could fit into the sewers, before he decided on a mech he built, the 'WALL-RUS.' This mech was specially designed with a buoyant, almost-liquid metal exterior, which would mold to nearly block off any tunnel. It would leave room so it could move forward or back without scraping against the walls, of course. As the almost-liquid metal would form around to the walls, it would solidify, turning the mech into, well, a giant metal wall with weapons. He was then told he would need to go to a roof of a certain building, so he decided to take along the 'TURBU-LANCE.' This mech was almost a second skin of metal, and had gyro jets for flight capabilities. Its primary weapon was a beam lance, which could cut through a lot of materials.

John listened to and understood the rest of his commands, and when the question of, Any Questions?, came up, John said, "Yeah, I got one. When do we start?"

(errrm, Ani, where are you?)
