Bulletsoul (Open)

Fury nodded to Irvin and walked back into the elevator. He waited until Irvin got inside and then pressed the button to send them back down to the lobby. As soon as the doors slid open he marched down the hallway towards the open hangar that the Garden housed. Fury ignored all the students staring at the two as they made their way over to the hangar. Fury didn't pay any attention to the people around him when he was like this. His sole focus at that point was the mission and how it was going to be handled.

Walking into the hangar, Fury made a bee-line for the Kestrel. Once there, the entire crew came out to greet him and their guest. First, a muscular man with all sorts of tattoos stepped out from the nose of the craft. His brown hair was pulled back in a pony-tail and hidden under a cowboy hat. The man had a cheery smile and rosy cheeks underneath of his ragged beard. "Who'da we got 'ere?"

Furry nodded to Irvin and said, ”This would be Irvin. He is a SeeD. Irvin will be accompanying us on this mission. Get to know him a little bit, it’s a long ride to Fisherman’s Horizon.” With that, Fury stepped into the airship’s rear bay door and disappeared into a separate room for briefings. Cowboy stepped forward towards Irvin and held out his hand, [color-green]”Glad to have you aboard, Irv’n. The boss can always use an extra set of hands in the field.”[/color]

From around the nose of the craft came a voice. ”I’m gonna tell’m you said that!” A moment later a scrawny man wearing overalls and covered in grease came around laughing at Cowboy. The man wore blue goggles atop his head and had short blonde hair that still found a way to be wild and crazy. Cowboy scowled at the man before saying, ”This would be Dizzy. He can be somewhat of a wise-guy sometimes but he is the best damned co-pilot around, plus I can push all the work off onto him.”

Dizzy’s laugh came to an abrupt stop at that comment, but his cheery disposition didn’t leave. He walked right over to Irvin and said, ”Nice to meet you, and don’t let Cowboy fool you, he can be worse than I am sometimes. As if he had seen it coming, Dizzy ducked down, just as he said that, narrowly dodging Cowboy’s open hand.

Before anything else could be said, though, another voice could be heard from inside the airship. OH, COME ON!!! What I do this time?!?!?!?!?” A fairly attractive blonde woman with full combat armor came storming out of the rear of the ship. She saw Dizzy and Cowboy and huffed once before storming away across the hangar. A man in armor similar to the suit Fury wore came rushing out a moment later. Instead of going after her, though, he shouted, ”Fine! Be like that! I’m not chasing you anymore!”

Both Cowboy and Dizzy exchanged looks before Dizzy said, ”What’s a matter, Dusty? Angel find out about the SeeD students you were talking to?

Dusty glanced to him and said, ”Yeah, she did, and she also found out about you trying to build a robot version of her, complete with all the parts.” Dizzy gulped once and walked off to work on the ship some more. Dusty looked to Irvin and said, ”Who is this?”

Cowboy smirked and said, ”This is Irvin, he will be assisting both you and the boss on the ground. Dusty looked Irvin up and down before asking, ”You ever been on an op like this before?

Following right behind Fury, Irvin went all the way to balamb’s hangar. His ship was at another place around the garden at that time, despite usually don’t needing anything like it still needed to gather supplies. He just needed to warn Noah and the others that he would do something and that it could take a little more time before he returned, writing up a message explaining everything and sending them while walking and reaching Fury’s ship.

“Well thanks, i guess” He answered to the large man as Fury disappeared walking in the craft, before another person, a gaunt man came up around the ship. Irvin got hold of his laugh while the two man talked, when a voice coming from inside the ship interrupted everything and a blond woman looking angry walked out from it, going past them without stopping, fast followed by a man until outside the ship.

“My... what a crew Fury...” Irvin said sighing as Dizzy talked to Dusty before been noticed and cowboy introduced him. “nice to meet you too, but why you ask ? don't you trust Fury’s opinion about having me along?“ he then stopped and as he noticed what he said he didn't give time for answer and kept talking in order to fix that “don’t take that serious most of time i talk without thinking, and no, 'usually' i try not to deal with problems like that, but i look forward working together with you guys”

Dusty looked Irvin up and down as he spoke. After Irvin stopped speaking, Dusty let out a huff and said, "Yeah, well, usually I would trust his decisions, but lately he has been allowing civilians to tag along on missions. People that have combat experience but no brains to back it up. I'm hoping he chose well with you. I don't feel like playing babysitter the whole time." Cowboy avoided looking at either of them as Dusty spoke. Cowboy had a little better manners than Dusty.

Before Dusty could continue, though, another voice from the doorway came. You're lucky I heard that and not him," said a small angry looking man. Dusty glared at the man and said, "I'd be surprised if he didn't find out anyway, Zeke."

The man scoffed and said "You and the new guy are needed in he briefing room," before walking back into the ship. Dusty mumble a few lines to himself before turning back to Irvin and saying, "Just cause he is the crew chief he thinks he's Fury's second in command. Just once, I'd like to see him do any of the work that the rest of us do, instead of sitting behind a computer screen. Well, it doesn't matter. Let's go see what the boss wants."

Dusty walked inside and walked past Zeke talking to a monster of a man about the rear turret. Dusty waved to the man as they past and said to Irvin, "That would be Sev. He is a monster in a fight, but not all there. He's a little slow when it comes to intelligible decisions, but he listens. He'll follow you off a cliff if you ask him. Just don't make him mad, it gets ugly then."

Dusty stopped at a door just before the cockpit and walked inside. There was a large table there that had a hologram projector on it. The hologram projected a real-time visage of Fisherman's Horizon. Standing leaned over the table on the opposite side of the room was Fury, who looked intently at the moving people on the table.

Dusty shut the door behind them as they walked in and sat down at the table, saying, "Ok, Boss, what's the deal on this city?

Fury looked up from the table and said, "They got sloppy. They took all the hostages into the mayor's residence and kept a tight perimeter around that place. They only have a few patrols keeping security on the rest of the city. So we have a choice. We can either A: fly in and land as close to the building as possible and hit hard and fast. Or we can go for a bit of a swim. Plan B: involves diving three miles outside of the city and swimming onto the docks from there we keep it as quiet possible and try to take back the town quietly. Both plans have drawbacks. With A, they could snap and just starting to shoot hostages instead of fighting us. With B we could be seen before we even get close and a lot more hostages get killed. Irvin, since this is your first mission with us, I'd like to hear which path you'd feel more comfortable with."

Babysitting? that was both an interesting, different and upsetting thing to hear, like why would he need someone doing that. He thought at the comment Dusty made, but sometimes not only combat expertise was need in the field or during missions, it can't be helped that some specialists weren't fit for some situations and places outside their labs or garage, but that was only natural and the reason there was field combat experts.

Yeah a friendly place. He thought walking and hearing Dusty talk about the crew chief."It's not like only field matters, their work is most of time quite as hard as ours, besides been something almost constant..." He said following Dusty inside the ship, spotting a huge man contrasting even more as he was next to Zeke who really looked even smaller near him. Just don't get him mad? that was like a safety warning for people that already didn't need that warning after seeing him.

As they finally reached to the briefing room fury was concentrated and looking at the holoprojection of Fisherman Horizon at a large table. Irvin walked around it, looking at the map and disposition of things and people walking while Fury explained all their choices of action and path to take, both not that appealing for him. Taking a deep breath, Irvin looked to Dusty and then Fury, after he asked him his opinion about the mission as he explained the current situation.
"If we can we fly low enough and around staying behind some building, approaching them without drawing too much attention that would be even better, despite hiding from eyes already helping a lot i don't know about the noise. Maybe a decoy to draw the attention while at it could work also, but even without any of that i'd still follow with A". He said leaning against the wall, looking to Dusty and then Fury "But you're the one leading here, its good not to be the one taking decisions some times."

Fury nodded to Irvin's suggestions. He was hoping he would say A. "Well, that was the idea for plan A. We'll fly in from under Horizon Bridge and stay as low as possible to the ground. The major problem is that Fisherman's Horizon does not have many tall buildings to cover the approach once we get in the city. So, we'll have to just bee-line straight for it. Once there, I hope you're not afraid of heights, because there is a possibility that we'll have to jump from a pretty high height down onto the roof of the building. From there, We'll clear it, top down, room to room. Once we have the hostages secured, we'll start evacing them from the roof, while we try and keep them as safe as possible from the inevitable counter attack. Once all the hostages are safely removed, we'll clear the rest of the city."

Fury flicked a switch on the holodesk and the mission started to play through step-by-step, detailing how it should go. Fury got up from the table and moved towards the door, saying, "It's a long flight to Fisherman's Horizon, get familiar with the plan and get anything you need to get done, done now." With that, Fury walked out of the room and into the mobile armory across the hall.

Dusty got up and approached the table, as he studied it he said, "Don't mind him, he always gets this way before missions. It used to be a lot worse before he found his daughter. He was like this all the time then. Now at least he smiles when he isn't thrown into life threatening situations." Dusty nodded to the plans and then stretched before walking over to nearby chair and sitting don with his feet up on the holodesk.

"Heights? no problem, i'll do fine i believe" There wasn't other thing he in fact liked more than heights and speed, specially diving, he would try to remember sometime after all that to invite Fury and Dusty to join him at it. They wouldn't dare to kill their major trump card, the president from Deling, but the civilians from Fisherman Horizon, it was probably a matter of how fast they could act to stop it.

"Sure, i'll remember that" he said giving it a small hand wave as Fury, concentrated on the mission, walked out from the room. Irvin sighed thinking about the mission, taking another look at the map while Dusty approached and started to talk, until he got his attention. "Yeah it's not a big deal, i mean who would wan... wait, did you, daughter? him? but..." It was an unexpected thing for him to hear, of course he was already surprised a lot by Fury actions since the training facility, but to hear that was something totally different.

"argh anyway we should get moving... eh so where should we go? or just wait here? still not used to the place... and i mean the ship should get going there before we do anything right?" he said sitting in a chair and swaying it back and forth while talking to Dusty.
