[Game Opening, Part 4 : Mission 2 - Fire the Arrow of War]

Who: Jun Kuga, Theodore, Yamato, Ludwig, Elizabeth Middleford, Atsuro, Aoba, Urataros, Volstagg
Where: The Saggitarius Research and Development lab, wards C4 & B4.
Summary: Help defend the prototypes and barricade the labs.
Music: Castle of the Four Gods
Warnings: Combat! Action! Science!


The build itself seemed unimpressively gray, four stories tall, lacking in windows, and yet oddly cylindrical. There seemed to be some sort of commotion on the roof, but there wasn't much time to examine the exterior. Once the group had stepped close to the front door, they were almost immediately ushered up the emergency staircase, to the fourth floor. The lights within the R&D department were almost blindingly clinical, with many of them being backed up by black lights. The combination made the area a little jarring to stand around in, but it seemed the COMP glasses came in handy for that, cutting some of the dizzying effects.

The fourth-floor door was opened wide by an odd looking pixie, who seemed to regard the group coldly before gesturing them in. Behind her was a black-haired teen, no older than seventeen at most, frantically standing at a console and typing away. The room was completely white, littered with odd gadgets and glass enclosures straddling other computer terminals. The room seemed to be bustling with energy, even with the presumed lack of people in it. The pixie floated over to the teen, tapping him once on the shoulder to get his attention, before he spun around fast and harsh.

"Oh! Good, just barely in time, thank you..."

He dragged a gloved hand over his tired face, and gave a half-sort of bow. "My name is Ideo Hazama. I'm one of the head researchers..."


The screen behind him beeped, and he immediately turned back to it with a muttered curse. Seems he was going to be explaining the situation with his back turned, then! "The Anoli began their attack from the roof, breaking in to ward C4 first- we didn't expect them to be so daring. Several of our most potent prototypes are housed in B4, as well as here in D4." The labcoated teen gestured to the screen, and a map of the floor came up; it seemed to be in real time, showing blips for enemies and damaged doorwars. "Our first priority is to keep this area secure, while taking back B4. Once that is under control, we can push them out of C4, then pursue them to the roof if needed." As he spoke, Ideo gestured across the map without looking at his audience directly. He was probably not a people person anyway. "We cannot allow them to leave with the prototypes we have here...lives depend on this."

Finally, he turned back around, pointing to the doors labeled A4. C4, for the time being, seemed to be guarded by several imposing demons. Odd. "Reiko is in A4 right now, with the frontal assault force. The rest of our team is guarding the other emergency stairwells that lead downstairs. When you have cleared B4, my forces here will go through to C4 and meet you for a pincer attack. I would like to request that some of you stay here, in case we have trouble- everyone else, make your way to A4."


[OOC: As with every log like this, you are free to start your own sub-thread and have your characters stop swarms of monsters on your own. The place is being invaded by demons as well as Anoli! Don't forget to write your character's Persona awakening as well! Finally, here is a map, for easier comprehension!]

And already he's thinking of the potential uses this technology might have for him; while he doesn't know all that much about demons, being able to capture and use any of them is certainly an... interesting idea at least. Unfortunately, he doubts he'll be able to get his hands on it that easily, but the info is useful all the same.

"Then..." An apparently determined look makes its way to his face. "We won't let them have it. For everyone's sake." What he's saying is pitifully naive of course, but more often than not people seem to find this nonsense endearing.

"We'll see about that...they're almost through the vault." Ideo wanted to be hopeful, but he was too self-doubting and realistic. "This room houses the updated software for the project, so they won't leave without attempting to get in here. Please, be on your toes."

Don't you just feel SAFE, here in scenic Hinoto-Ri?
endears: (we satellites can't compete)

Yes, truly this is the most safe and secure city he could've ever asked for.

"Got it. In case they manage to get it, is the software... encrypted or something like that?" He'd like to believe there's some competent security here.

"It's encrypted, yes. And then put through a cypher." Ideo patted the front pocket of his labcoat absentmindedly, even though there seemed to be nothing in it. Or, he was indicating the pocket of his shirt. He sure did wear all white, weird.

"I don't know the cypher. That's the important part- a step we've taken to avoid any hostage situations."
endears: (now i'm calm)

"That's pretty smart, Hazama-san..." As he makes a show of being impressed, his mouth even forming a little 'o', Aoba thinks over the situation. A cypher, huh...

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that, at least." A hostage situation is probably one of the worst possible outcomes here. ... Well, if none of them have the cypher, they're worthless as hostages anyway, so 'a hostage situation' isn't even possible to begin with.
