[Michael's looking....contemplative after the last battle. Watching the cannon blast Hawaii apart seemed to have put his normally boisterous mood into one that was silently pondering over every single one of the plans that Richard had unleashed. Surely his Vice-President was running out of things to throw at them...]

Hawaii... it was nice... wish we could've spent a little longer there without that huge mess happening...

[Network//Locked to friends of him and/or Ranna]

Trothkin I have a grave announcement to make. We...are being overwhelmed. At least two regiments' worth of Siberian Railway forces have laid seige to the domes. They must have had secret factories. We have lost no mechs, but for each of ours, there are dozens of theirs and we are down to our last ammo, spare parts and replacement armor.

We...[He sounds tired and utterly ashamed as he says this.]...need your help. We are sending a dropship to dock with White Chalice which can bring you here within eight hours.

You will have our eternal gratitude and that of the people of the Domepoli. And a share of the isorla, of course.

[Action//Siberia, day five of the campaign//approximately two AM//locked to recipients of the above network post or this one]

( That's the place a martyr is born... )

[OOC: Two groups, each will have their own seperate threads while they accomplish their mission. Here is a rough map of the domepoli. Dome Six had its dome stolen by the Railway in the last log. Domes 1, 2, 3 and 4 are under Railway control, the rest are in the hands of the rebels and Wolves. The domes are ranked in order from richest to poorest, with 1 being the richest.]

"Is this thing on... oh! There we go." Adette is sitting next to a fire place in a room that looks like it might be falling apart. Her eyes are dark and sunken, and a heavy layer of dirt and exhaustion took the place of make up and primp.
"This is Adette Kistler. Look... we're... in trouble down here. And we need some help. We're close to having the whole situation buttoned up down here, all we need is one good push but... we've taken a lot of heavy losses. I don't think... we can do it on our own. We're sending the dropship back to pick up anyone that would come and help us out. Also, can someone have Markus get the Knightmare Moon out of storage? The Power Golame... if pretty much out of commission, so I'l sending it back for repairs. I took a few unlucky shots and... well," Adette paused realizing she was rambling, I must be more tired than I thought...
"Please. At the risk of destroying my pride, I'm begging you. Please help. Or I don't think we're going to make it through this. This is Adette Kistler, calling in from Dompoli 7, awaiting response."

((OOC: This is all related to http://srwug-alpha-rp.livejournal.com/356290.html this))

[Locked. Message me or hedge if you wanna come play in Siberia too.

Forward dated to sat]

Adette leaned back against the cold metal wall. She panted quietly, trying to muffle the sound into her gloved hands. Beside her where three other men, pressed against the wall, armed with no more than a few large wrenches, a single pistol, and some homemade smoke bombs.
This was the last leg of this trip, the warehouse they where aiming for was just across an empty lot from where they stood. This was the most dangerous part, if they where spotted now it would certainly put a damper on their plans.
Adette put her hand to her chest, as if trying to keep her heart from beating right out of her body. This was it, this was the moment when everything would start moving forward, coming together. The moment she stepped out from behind this shed the war will have truly begun. It was frightening and exhilarating all at once. Adette had gooseflesh even under her heavy lavender coat.

( Searching our hearts for so long )

[Video]
"Is... is this thing on?" The camera shakes, and the familiar smirk of one buxom blonde, Adette Kistler comes into view. "There we go. This is Adette reporting back to the White Chalice. I've got a ton of intel for you guys, blue prints, train times, guard rotations, you name. It'll be attached to this video. I've rounded up my own little squad down here, and we're mostly just laying low right now. The Railway patrol is as lax internally as it's even been so we've been slipping in and... loosening some bolts, if you get my meaning. The Power Golame is still safe, and I have yet to be discovered by anyone that might blow my cover." You might notice, as the background comes into focus, that Adette is laying in a hammock that is suspended an awfully long way from the ground. It was in fact hanging from a rafter in a storehouse willed with crated, her usual flashy red attire was replaced by a worn cream blouse, and lavender pea coat, her hair pulled back in french braids, and without the usual make up, she almost didn't look like the same woman (though the harsh florescent lights up here was less than flattering). "I'll check back in soon. But for now know that I'm safe, and the mission is right on track." She flashes a thumbs up and smirks. "By the time you guys get here, I might have taken down the whole railway myself."

Along with the recon data there are two private messages attached.

[Private To Gainer Sanga]

Gainer, if I come back and find out you played that video game for some ungodly amount of time instead of going and socializing I swear I'll make you regret it!!

[Private to Resnick]

"Dislodging the Railway might take a bit more muscle than he previous anticipated. Look over the numbers I sent you. We've been able to sneak into one hanger and sabotage a few machines, and a full scale sabotage mission would be planned, but only as a prelude to an immediate attack, they would catch onto us to quickly." There's a cold sort of look in her eyes as she speaks, all business, which was rather unlike her. "Otherwise everything is going swimmingly down here. When do you expect to be joining me? Also if you see Allesandra will you remind her about that thing I asked her to do? I'll be waiting for your reply."

------

( You're not alone / You'll find your home )

Gainer, if I come back and find out you played that video game for some ungodly amount of time instead of going and socializing I swear I'll make you regret it!!

[Private to Resnick]

1] Adette put the last of her things into her bag. It was a bit sad, to see her whole life in one small duffel. She sighed as she slung it over her shoulder, looking around her quarters for what very well be that last time.
"It's been swell." She said to the furniture. "But the swelling has gone down now."
With that, she turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.
She headed for the hanger, walking slowly, hoping to catch at least Gainer before she departed.
If you have anything to say to Adette, you had better do it now, because between the look in her eyes and the duffel bag, it's pretty clear she leaving the Chalice.
Speak now or forever hold your peace.

2]Sitting on the ground, at the foot of the Metal Wolf, there is a small paper wrapped package addressed to Micheal in graceful cursive.

( Contents within )

Resnick can be found:

1: Furtively looking at tutorials on how to play classical instruments in the library. He is listening to them on headphones, which mitigates some of his alertness. He seems to be favoring the violin, but other instruments get a chance too.

The Wolves, Resnick among them, can be found in several places:

2: Having cleared off an empty hangar, a spirited game of American Football. is going. The elementals (roughly divided between teams) are quite amazing to watch in play, moving with grace and speed you wouldn't expect of anyone that huge, like great predators. The most impressive new strategy they've come up with is one made possible by the clan breeding program and low gravity: snapping the ball to the smallest aerospace pilot on the team, who's then picked up by the largest elemental. When the elemental finally succumbs, the aerospace pilot is hurled over the other players hanging off of the elemental, to gain a few more yards.

3: Dueling with powered down energy weapons on the ship's hull. Magnets on the feet of their mechs keep them there, but they can choose to let go if they wish and engage their modified jumpjets. Resnick's Timber Wolf turns end over end in one such engagement, allowing him to get behind his opponent and sweep them with marking fire. The elementals and aerospace fighters have similar training going on on other parts of the Chalice.

4: Studying everything they can on the landscape of Siberia. Nature documentaries prove a popular choice, and though they pretend to be nonchalant about it, a look of semi-religious awe still crosses their faces when their totem comes up.

1) [Action]

[Michael just spent a lot of time with the Neo-French Government, smoothing out the situation further after Richard had caused massive amounts of chaos on the colony. Between missing out a chance to take on his rogue VP and the further hammering in of his deposed state one would expect the President to be much more on the edge, angry even. But despite his somewhat harried state he looks surprisingly calm, patient even...]

Gonna need more firepower...

[Then you notice he has a tablet and was repeatedly looking through an open file on it. Interrupt his musing/Question about the thing he's looking at?]

[Were Chibodee around he'd notice a name in the document that he would find very interesting - because it would belong to the same person who not only developed Metal Wolf's weapons systems and Weapon Pods, but also the Maxter as well.]

2) [Also Action.]

[And the next time anyone sees the president he's asleep on a couch somewhere with a hand thrown over his face, snoring loudly. It's not exactly the biggest nuisance but it would raise some concerns if you're trying to concentrate.]

[Dare you wake the president?]

When she had woken up Adette had felt fine. Mid morning she had caught a light sneeze, and by the afternoon she was running a low grade fever. Abandoning her work, Adette headed for the kitchen.
Hot Toddys and soup. It was cure anything right?

1) You might find Adette in the kitchen, up-ending whiskey into her cup of tea, and trying to keep her nose from running right off her face. Her long hair pulled back into a thick braid, and pinned to the top of her head to try and relieve the heat she felt. And though it wasn't to obvious how much she felt like crap, she kept to herself about it, trying to make herself a bit of comfort food as quickly as she can. Spreading a cold would only make everyone miserable!

2) Later Adette has holed up in her Quarters with a hot toddy (though it was more whiskey than tea) and a thick novel. A note taped to the door warned people that she was sick and had locked herself away till she felt better.

For once she was laying in her bed, and not her hammock, wrapped in a course quilt over a nightgown and satin robe, and her hair looking quite a mess.

Adette wiped her brow on her apron, and smiled. On the counter before was a dark, rich, brown dough. She removed the towel from it, it look soft and puffy. With a grin she set about kneading. As she worked the the dough with her hands, Adette hummed aloud an old song she had almost forgotten as she worked, and wondered who would be called through the door by the smell of fresh baking bread.
The world around them may be in turmoil, but nothing could soothe the soul like a little comfort food.

Adette. Cynthia. Go get your Overmen.

[[That's all he had to say about that! It was too brief to be meaningful, but, when has Gainer EVER called people to get their machines? Never, that's right.

It was this recent announcement about moving in to take out Adventus once and for all. For him, this was the "Final Boss", and what's the one thing a gamer is going to go before fighting the boss he knows is coming?

Grind.

And it's not that Cynthia needed it herself, but, between him and her, the two of them could probably bring Adette up to speed in actual Overman combat. Like HELL they were bring a lv 5 into a lv 85 fight!

But, Gainer's the idiot who makes public broadcasts, rather than private so... intervene as necessary.]]

1:

Resnick awakes in the infirmary, having passed out from radiation poisoning after his duel with Prime. Feel free to come talk to the jerk who just brought in the rather alien seeming, blocky mecha. What was he thinking, trying to challenge an entire ship like that?

2:

Resnick is walking White Chalice, trying to get a feel for everything. Most things here are familiar to him. It's not much different from being on a jumpship. However there are things whose function he can't seem to understand. For instance, you might find him in the middle of a hallway, trying to puzzle out why there are two bathrooms directly across from each other. Or trying to figure out why these holoplayers (read: televisions) are mostly flat.

3:

...Or putting a small box labelled SPECIAL LUNCH, DO NOT EAT in the communal fridge, as he's yet to be assigned one of his own. It actually contains the giftake of the dropship captain who sacrificed herself to get him planetside. It's the least he can do to preserve that until he can return to clan space.

1] The night had worn on, and the sounds of the wedding party eventually faded, Most of the ships occupants had gone on there ways, and outside of the party, everything seemed strangely still.
With a bottle tucked under her arm, Adette slipped down the empty corridors, it had never so much felt like 'night time' on the ship to her before. It was a feeling she had missed with out knowing it. The long corridors, and heavy doors had never seemed so welcoming as they did right now.
She abandon her high heels, leaving them in the hall with a promise to return to them. No one would mess with her shoes would they?
Probably not.
So barefoot and armed with a bottle of vodka Adette set off for a walk.

2] Her walk had lead her to hanger eventually, in the wee hour of the morning, and draped in the palm of the Power Golem, she was singing quite loudly to the metal walls, and stately statues of mechs.
"Vizhu traur v vas po dushe mayey, vizhu plamya v vas ya pabyednoye: Sozhenu na nyom sertse byednoye." She was no singer, so perhaps it wasn't that impressive of a sound, but Adette wasn't singing for anyone who could hear her now. But she grinned while she took a sip off her bottle.

(1)
[[Sometime after the mission, Gainer first verifies that the Power Golame was picked up in full, so that can be fixed, but, afterward, he's taking King Gainer to a less crowded spot in the hangar, and slips his Overman into the Golame's Overcoat.

Awkwardly, it fits, but, it looks like King Gainer is wearing some kind of Oversized Winter coat.]]

This thing looks hideous... I guess we need to find out if it still works though.

(2) (Adette and/or Cynthia)
[[Gainer got a very brief chance to go home and get some thing... mostly extra video game stuff and... well no, that was better left behind, but, hidden a bit better than it used to be.

Anyway, he's back, and looking for Adette, or Cynthia, whomever he bumps into first. He's got... TWO gaming sets with him... HE did promise to finally teach Adette to play the game, especially now that he got the second set of controls but, he's not going to turn down a match with Cynthia if she shows up!]]
