"Sounds like a bit of pressure," KxS thought. She had the confidence to succeed in her training, but the idea of all eyes being on this gave her heart a bit of a jump. Could she also handle being on a new team? Meeting new people was a little hard for her, since she was so used to only having a close circle of friends.

She took a deep breath and kept a serious face. She could totally do this, no sweat! Moon training! YEEAHH!

KxS blinked. She could swear sometimes there was a buff, masculine, and excited manly-man living in her brain.


Mars-Tifa's Seventh Heaven

The person living in Strobe's mind, however, was not at all excited. They were begging for a drink and and more processing power. Strobe internally scoffed at this person and kicked them in the shin, telling them to shut up and calm themselves. She had plenty of processing power and she was saving it for more important things.

She asked Tifa for a fruity drink (since i do not know if it's against the rules to actually name a drink <.<).

Knight Headquarters, Earth

Caanon nodded, and then the hologram zoomed in on a portion of the moon.

"The exercises we will be performing are very standard. Assualt a mock position, take it, and defend it against hostile counterattack. The targets will be drones under the control of the local TDF forces. The drones are armed with nothing more than target painters-we will be keeping track of how many times you are successfully "painted" or "hit" to determine performance."

As he spoke, the hologram moved along with his words, showing the drones, layout of the area of operations, and so forth.

"Squad assignments have been sent to your personal mail accounts." he added. "In addition to the media presence, one of the aristocracy also wishes to observe-so again, remain professional."

Didymus couldn't help but wonder if Garnet was that one...Caanon didn't say.

"You will, in all likliehood, be cornered by the press-some of you at least. Remember to remain professional and polite, but not to disclose any secret information or get overtly political on camera and in uniform. We support the Empire. We support humanity. But we don't bite at the sensationalist media lures." he said.

Didymus was looking over the squad assignments...namely to his own chain of command.

Caanon went on.

"More detailed briefs will be given as we near the area, and will need to be passed down the chain. We leave later today." he said.

While this wasn't an era of neigh-instantanous hyperdrive jumps, travel from Earth to the moon was still fairly fast, and journeys to other planets would vary depending on the craft and positions of the planets.

It was reasonable to expect, however, that they wouldn't be gone from Earth for too terribly long.

A short while later, the Knights were loading up. Their HERCs had been taken onboard the ship to carry them to the moon, and Didymus stood waiting at the launch pad for his squad...

Tifa's "Seventh Heaven", Mars

Tifa nodded, and quickly mixed a drink for Strobe.

"That'll be...5. Feeling generous today." she said.


Suddenly, the door opened again, and in walked two rather large men-both wearing Imperial Police badges.

They had huge grins on their faces.

"Afternoon there, miss!" one shouted-much louder than necessary.

The other eyed the patrons.

"Earth fruit?" one asked. "That's...rare...around here." he said.

Used to serving all manner of customers, even ones she didn't like, Tifa just smiled at them.

"Afternoon, boys. What'll it be?" she asked.

"Some of your strongest." the first one answered.

She raised an eyebrow. Not opposed to giving Imperial Police on duty things that would lower their senses, she still had a profit to turn...

"That's 50. Each." she said.

"Aw, that much?"

"That better include some excellent...service." the second, possibly intoxicated already, edged in on Tifa, who was glad the counter was separating her from them.

"...50. Each." she repeated.

"Is it?" the first finally asked. "Just for some rounds?" he shook his head. "I think that's pretty steep...steep enough to rob a poor Imperial public servant blind!"

The second one nodded.

"In fact, we've already had our suspicions, but this only proves it!" they drew their weapons, each now brandishing a pistol, one of which was pointed at Tifa.

"By the authority vested in me by the Empire and the Governor/Police Chief of Mars, I declare the owner and proprietor of this establishment to be a suspected Cybrid Trojan Horse. You'll be coming with us for screening." he said.

His partner just looked around, looking from Spork to Hammah to Strobe, trailing his gun on each in turn...

[Knight Headquarters: Earth]

After the briefing, Musashi made a few last-minute arrangements and spoke to someone over the phone as he approached the launch pad. He hung up as he arrived and sighed.

“Well, it’s not a real mission, but it should still be fun.” Musashi said as he turned to the others. “You know, provided we don’t totally screw this up in front of the aristocrats and the press.”

Mustang appeared at the far end of the ramp leading up to the launch pad, with Alice just behind him. He had his usual smirk on his face, but was in full dress uniform for the occasion. He stopped as he reached the others.

“Well, everyone ready? I’m expecting one hell of a show today.”

[Tifa’s Bar: Mars]

“… Well, sh-t.”

Sama was in the back when he heard the commotion and peered through the edge of a door to see a couple of Imperial Cops, displaying the usual level of ethical integrity expected on Mars.

Asuka soon appeared beside him. “So? What are waiting for? Let’s go put some bullets in them!”

“No, idiot!” Sama whispered and he held her back. “We start a gunfight in the bar and we’re just inviting more attention!”

Didymus nodded at Musashi's comments, and saluted Mustang as he approached-though he was a bit...disappointed...to see Alice trailing him as usual. He had to ask her about that later...

"Indeed it will be, sir. We're still waiting for a few squad members, not everyone in mine has checked in..." he looked at the roster.

(For anyone who doesn't know, you can place your characters with whatever squad leader (Didymus, Alice, Zadkiel, anyone who's a Knight Captain) that you like, and they all report to Mustang who reports to Caanon).

"...sir, out of curiousity, do we know precisely who will be the aristocrats watching?" he asked.

Tifa's bar, Mars

Tifa was uncertain what to do. She was a martial arts expert, but being threatened with firearms outside of arm's reach she was at a disadvantage (I don't care that she stood up to guns when she's level 1 in FFVII XD).

Her eyes darted around the room, trying to get account of the situation.

She slowly began to walk forward.

"Gentlemen, it doesn't need to be like THAT..." she said.

"...how's about I give you your drinks on the house?" she grinned.

"...that may be nice." said one cop.

"...nah, that ship's sailed. Besides, we have to confiscate this place's stores as evidence anyway..." said the other.

"Isn't that only if I really AM a trojan horse?" Tifa asked.

"...yes, sure, but until then we need to make sure that potential contaminants of your operation aren't dispersed to the good people of Mars." the first cop said, smiling.

Tifa slowly was walking closer to them, but...they were backing up. She didn't want to have to try FLIRTING with these guys, but if she could distract them long enough for someone else to get the jump on them, or they distract them long enough for HER to get into arm's reach...

“Well, they’d better show up soon.” Mustang frowned at the news that some of the squad was still on their way. “I want us to shine today. I want the aristocrats and the reporters both singing this unit’s praises…”

Then Didymus asked about the aristocrats, and Mustang nodded. “There’s quite a few, actually. They liked to watch things like this. Off the top of my head, I recall Rufus Shinra, the Malvin sisters and Garnet Alexandros are all slated to be there.”

Alice shifted uncomfortably. She knew that her elder sisters would be there, and she absolutely detested the idea. They had never hidden their disdain with her decision to become a Knight.

[Tifa’s Bar, Mars]

“This is a bad idea…”
“It’s the only idea we have. Now either help me or go cry in the corner.”
“Fine, fine… geez…”

From the back room, Sama and Asuka suddenly came rushing out as quickly as the two could move – Sama had a shotgun in his arms, while Asuka was brandishing two pistols. They rushed behind the two men and aimed at their backs.

“Drop the weapons!” Sama shouted.

“Or we’ll drop you!” Asuka grunted.

Didymus was intrigued. Alice's sisters? She never seemed to like it when they showed up...and Garnet? She...was coming to watch them?

He wondered/hoped/wishfully thought it was for him...but tried to dismiss that as, again, wishful thinking.

He looked around.

"...sir?" he asked. "I know there'll be time for more detailed instructions in a bit, but how do you want to go about this? It looks like a fairly standard take-and-hold task...barring any tricks that probably will get thrown at us."

Tifa's bar, Mars

One of the cops turned to face Asuka and Sama, and the other one dove behind a nearby table, overturning it!

The one who didn't dive tried to get a shot off as Tifa grabbed his arm, trying to put it in an arm bar and break it-or at least wrench the gun away. But he was stronger than her, if not as technically skilled, and struggled with it...the gun fired off a couple shots Hammah's way, while the second cop started firing at Sama and Asuka!

Strobe hadn't shown herself as a threat to them yet, (even if she was), so they didn't seem to be focusing on her for now...

“You can bet there will be SOME trick thrown at you.” Mustang said, as he turned back to Didymus. “The aristocrats will want a good show, and if we pull off something impressive we might generate some positive press.”

Mustang sighed a bit, shaking his head. “Of course, if we totally screw up, we’ll be the butt of the late-night jokes AND the aristocrats will think us all idiots. Which is why you won’t be screwing up.”

He cast a quick glance at Musashi, and then turned back to Didymus.

[Mars: Tifa’s Bar]

Sama was hit in the chest by one of the shots and grunted as he fell back. Luckily, being a rebel with a long streak of bad luck, Sama always wore a bulletproof vest beneath his coat. While he knew he’d have a bruise later, and his chest ached – he also knew he was alright, and he quickly scrambled to the side behind the bar.

Asuka, however, moved to the side and quickly opened fire – she had two large caliber pistols and tried to shoot straight through the table!

Didymus smiled a bit.

"We got this, sir." he said.

He looked/walked over at Alice, and spoke a bit softer, making the conversation slightly more private-and he smirked.

"Besides, if we screw up, you can just use the Malvin family name to clear us up, right, Lady Alice?"

Tifa's bar, Mars

The man wrestling with Tifa squeezed the trigger of his own weapon, sending shots spraying around the bar!

Meanwhile, Asuka would have heard cursing as one of her shots found its mark, and her now panicked opponent sprayed wildly in her direction!

I can't see what you're imagining
-Mars: Tifa's Bar-

Hammah managed to duck down when the bullet whizzed past him, Spork looking merely annoyed as he reached into his pocket. He calmly placed two small things in his ears, then held up a small, hand held device. When Hammah saw it he scrambled, shoving two fingers in his ears.

“Cover your ears,” Spork said loudly, then pressed a button.

A horrible, high pitched noise erupted from the device, meant to disable anyone in the immediate area!

-Earth: Knight Headquarter's-

Zadkiel knew of another aristocrat who would be watching. His wife, Loralee would be, though more out of concern for seeing how Aiden did. She didn't like Aiden becoming a soldier, but supported her daughter nonetheless.

“Just don't get in my way Musashi, and we should do fine,” Elysia said to Musashi, ready to go as well, “Got it?”

It would probably be pretty funny if the two actually worked really well together in combat.


Aiden was nervous, but ready, watching everyone else.

Didymus smiled at Aiden.

"Miss Fayre." he said. "You look a little nervous. But don't worry; these drones shouldn't be any match for a full-trained Knight. We work together as a team and remember what we've been taught, and we'll get through this with flying colors."

He noticed Elysia and Musashi bantering...and checked his roster, were they on it (decision of GS and Spork)? If so, maybe he could report his own squad readied up, and they at least could board.

Tifa's bar, Mars

Tifa and the cops writhed in sound-delivered pain as the noise sounded out, and more curses could be heard from the cop with the injured leg...

Spork had stopped the fight between Tifa and her adversary, but only for a moment, as both struggled to regain themselves...and the second cop, losing blood and hurt from the noise, was rapidly becoming completely disoriented...

[Earth: Knight’s Headquarters]

Alice narrowed her eyes and stepped forward, glaring at Didymus. “… I see. So that’s how it’s going to be.”

She turned away, shaking her head. It was commonplace for some of the Knights to believe she was only here because of her status. It infuriated her to no end, but there was no point in confronting him now.

[…]

Musashi rolled his eyes to Elysia. “Come on, Elysia, don’t be that way. Just because I’m a better pilot than you doesn’t mean you have to be jealous.”

[Earth: Knight Headquarters]

Asuka cursed right back as he tried to shoot at her, and she luckily took cover in time. With the cop attacking Tifa struggling to regain his composure, Sama rushed over and pressed the shotgun against the man’s back.

“Drop your weapon!” Sama demanded.

Didymus paused, realizing Alice had taken offense.

"I apologize, Alice, I was just joking..." he said.

Blast, should have tread a little lighter on this subject with her...now she probably thinks I devalue her service too...

He looked over his roster again. It looked like his own squad was here...they'd be leaving soon (as in a few posts, if even that)...

Tifa's bar, Mars

When Sama pressed his shotgun up to the cop's neck, he let out what sounded like a cross between a whine and a gargle...and dropped his weapon.

The second cop continued to curse, spraying shots all over the room from behind his booth seat!

Then his clip ran dry. Another loud curse as he struggled to reload while losing blood and his ears still ringing...

“Well, guess it’s time to move out.” Musashi said, putting his hands behind his neck and leaning back against the wall with a grin and closing his eyes. “We’re gonna wow ‘em all…”

[Mars: Tifa’s Bar]

Sama moved to the side and kicked the cop’s gun away, sliding it across the room; but he kept the shotgun aimed firmly at the corrupt cop.

Asuka, meanwhile, was hiding behind the counter as she tried to fire more at the cop behind the booth. She growled as a bullet came very close to hitting her, and she cursed aloud in German.

Didymus looked at his roster, took another glance...and yes, that was it.

"Sir." he said to Mustang. "My squad is all present and accounted for. With your permission, we'll be boarding now."

"And Alice..." he said to her. "...I apologize, again, if I crossed the line..."

Tifa's bar, Mars

With one corrupt cop subdued and another suppressed, Tifa was annoyed. Her bar was being shot up!

She went prone, grabbing the other cop's weapon...

...and slowly advanced...

...the cop's firing stopped.

Tifa rounded the booth and...found the cop was passed out from blood loss.

"We have to live ones..." she said. "...I...what now? We can't just kill them, but if we don't, then they know this bar is...well..." she paused. "...I guess AVALANCHE has a couple new prisoners. I'm sure that another rebel group would be happy to take them off our hands if they're too much trouble for us."

She looked around.

"My bar..." she mourned.

-Earth: Knight Headquarters-

“Just because you can't hit your target if it was painted on the broad side of a space barn doesn't mean you should make stuff up,” Elysia said.

The two bickered a lot, but were actually well paired in battle. Possibly because they both were trying to one up the other.



“Oh, I just... want to make sure I do well...” Aiden said to Didymus, “My father's a top notch pilot after all... I don't want to let him down...”



Jimi glanced towards Kxs, “You ready? Just some practice, at least... We'll show them what we can do.”

-Mars: Tifa's Bar-

“Not... necessarily...” Spork said, rubbing his chin, “People will still ask questions. Tifa, what's the strongest alcohol you have?”

He grinned a little, “Get alcohol into their systems. They won't remember what happened here. We make up a story that these two cops came in, got drunk, then started shooting. We don't have to drag these guys anywhere, and we have a nice story about the corrupt police force being unable to do anything with police like this.”
