(OOC: OK, so the cross-RPG idea needs a little work..still, it was fun. I decided to have Overmind's ship based at Chronopoint to help facilitate crossovers between the two branches. As mentioned before, this is pretty new....but all things considered, I think it went pretty well, and you can expect crossovers with other AniD branches--and maybe even RPG's outisde the AD network!--in the future. Anyway, back to work...)
Miles took his leave once the speech was over, heading for the Bridge. Satisfied that all was ready for departure, and that the few incomplete sections of the ship were being worked on, he settled into his command chair and waited.
***********
Shade carefully abstained from the feast as he waited for his remaining personnel to board the Dreamwalker. Alcohol was out of the question for a pilot about to fly, and the food wasn't a good idea, with his stomach doing it's normal pre-mission churning...
Once he was satisfied everyone who was coming was already here, he stepped through the airlock, the thich doors sealing shut behind him. He headed straight for the Bridge.
***********
When he arrived, he noted the usual bustle of activity on the Bridge--and a certain Vice President, staring absently through one of the huge windows, hands folded behind her back. Shade walked up behind her.
"You sure you're all right? I can have someone else lead the ground assault if you'd--"
"No, I'm fine," Lucca replied quickly. I think. She couldn't remember ever feeling quite the way she felt right now.
"Don't worry....we'll find him. Tseng's gonna have my ass no matter how this turns out, so we'd better at least have something to show for it..."
"I'm acepting full responsibility for this one. I've already drafted and signed an order authorizing Overmind to perform the rescue, alone with any other strikes necessary to achieve mission objective." This was important; Lucca was probably the only person in the Company Tseng couldn't can. She also had authority to order attacks, though Shade had never heard of her actually using it until now. "And it won't hit Tseng's desk until the attack's already underway. We're either coming back with Victor...or not at all."
As thei went on, Miles continued preparing for departure.
"Docking Tube retracted, Captain...we have pulled away from the station."
"Very well...All ahead standard. All hands, prepare for sub-temporal jump."
Shade turned and activated his Communicator. "All mission personnel, report to port side Hangar Deck for final instructions."
