Fight For Denver

[Deadly_Tiger]

What was once a beautiful, picturesque city with a lovely mountain backdrop has been reduced to military compounds, scorched earth and rubble while Providence and The Dominion fight for this key holding point. The Dominion have had an unexpected visitor.  

[Deadly_Tiger]

Shockwave

It was rare for a founder to show up in a contested area such as Denver. It wasn't that they were afraid of a fight, for each of them had proven their mastery over their powers and a fighting prowess, but that they were generally busy managing the war effort. So when Shockwave arrived without warning the rumour mill started turning at full capacity. In short order they had everyone at the compound gathered, except for those who remained on guard duty. The group before him would not like what he was about to tell them, which was why he had come in person instead of handing down orders through the usual chain. “Our sources tell us there will be an imitate attack on this location.” He began. By sources he referred to Clarity and her network among the outposts. “Our goal when that attack comes will not be to defend our position, but the preservation of Deviant life. Make no mistake, we will make them fight for every inch in a controlled tactical retreat, but the lives of your brothers and sisters will come first.” If only he could tell them the real reason for this change, but if Providence found out the entire plan would fall apart. A risk that could not be taken. They would simple have to trust the superiors knew what they were doing.

Olivia Colomar - The Hacker

Denver sucked, at least to her it did. There was tech and plenty of computers, in fact she'd been mining data for days, but she was bored. Ultimately it was better then prison. When everyone was gathered she tagged along and in the back, tapping away on her phone. She rolled her eyes and dug around, making skulls appear on everyone's phone. "Oooo overly dramatic match. What did Clarity exactly tell you?" Typing away she moved to the front. "I’m already tracking them... their gear shines like a Christmas tree."

B.T. pulled the cigarette from her lips, rolling it around her fingers. Their little operation in Denver was going to met with trouble, nothing new, but a retreat was the game plan now. “Whatever your say, Bossman.” These days, the pyromaniac found plenty of opposition. So many opportunities to light it all up with fireworks, but it seemed they’d be helping the lackies make a run for it. There was something up, but she didn’t care to inquire. She was a gal of action. People that had a history of ******** up tended to die, and since Shockwave was still breathing, she didn’t have to doubt him just yet. “When do I need to start torching stuff?” She just wanted to know when they needed to get the move on. “Now” would’ve worked fine, too. It didn’t really matter, just as long as she could hear the sputtering sound of fire, and maybe a bit of screaming. People always screamed when they burned, suffocating from the burning flesh, kind of like some screamo, but less melodic. Music to her ears nonetheless. B.T. leaned against the nearest wall, hearing Olivia out as she asked about further intel in general.

➳ Eris hadn't been stationed at the Denver compound for very long, but it had been long enough to know that when Shockwave showed up unannounced there was some cause for alarm. Everyone was buzzing about it, and his announcement seemed rather curious. He had heard there was going to be an attack on the holding, and he was here to tell them that when the attack came, they were to consider their own safety above defending the compound. This seemed strange, but Eris wasn't one to question the Dominion higher ups. Surely they knew what they were doing. Another woman, known as The Hacker, stepped forward to announce that she was already tracking Providence's team, and asking about further information. Eris didn't really know those in Denver that well, and so she stayed quietly to the side while others spoke up. Another woman, a pyro, simply asked, "When do I need to start torching stuff?" She hadn't been a part of many events such as these yet, and she couldn't decide whether she was nervous or excited -- perhaps a bit of both. "Do we know how long until they arrive..?" She asked a bit timidly.◄

◤Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now?
Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet?
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
With the efficiency that only youth can harness.

And do you still think love is a Laserquest?
Or do you take it all more seriously?
I've tried to ask you this, in some daydreams that I've had,
But you're always busy being make-believe.◢

Shockwave

Shockwave gave a grin to Olivia, clearly not offended by her comment or her tone. "Clarity told me our best hacker was here." He answered, complimenting the Technopath while avoiding the question. "A former colleague of ours will be leading the Providence attack. I'm sure most of you will have at least heard of Mathis Mathews." After all, it had been publically broadcast across the airwaves the man had been a Dominion spy while working for Providence. Few people knew the truth or the series of events which lead up to that broadcast. Events which Shockwave had been against, but ultimately let happen. "What some of you may not know is he returned to Providence roughly six weeks ago. This is a man who has detailed knowledge of how we work and won't hesitate to kill you. He knows how the Dominion would normally respond, so we shall do the unexpected." If only Concussion had managed to finish him off, but outside of the inner circle, that whole incident remained top secret. As foolish as it was, it was tempting to defy is own orders to put Mathis's head on a pike and get revenge for his longtime friend. "Olivia, how long until they reach the base?"

Looking around she could see impatience from those who wanted to act. Raising her phone up and doing a few more taps the days was sent to everyone member in the room. "You’re best? I’m the best in the world." Signaling a projector was brought forth, the data was displayed on the walls. "By the maps, movement patterns, and previous data... twenty-four hours max time with the minimum time of twenty. The bug in their system is sending them on a goose chase." Giving a small wave as a skull appeared on the screens laughing, a timer underneath. "Anyways, at this rate they will be sending scouts and I’m tagged in to track those already." She looked back to the crowd. "You still didn’t answer my Question Mr. Bossman."

Olivia was right. It would take the team she was leading around about 24 hours to get back to her. Unfortunately for Olivia, Mathis was not actually leading that team. It was his diversion team. Shockwave had hit the nail on the head when he said that Mathis was familiar with their tactics. The first sign of trouble was anything but a discrete one. Suddenly and without explanation, all of the speakers in the Dominion base began to blare with what sounded like a bass guitar. It was a rhythmic strumming followed by the raspy vocals of none other than Kurt Cobain singing Come as you are- and then a pause. The base would have a moment to realize their systems had been breached. It was not Olivia's fault-in fact if not for her this breach would have happened days ago. There had been a very explicit effort to avoid her notice as the invasion began. Then the next line went out -as you were- and once again silence. As I want you to be- it was on that line that some trouble began to sound off from beyond the walls of the room the group was in. Thunder broke the silence from the sky and screams rang out from behind the walls. As a friend- the line played and the orchestra of chaos expanded to include the sounds of explosions and gunfire. As a friend- the building itself began to tremble and a large crack formed on the northern wall. As a known enemy. Both sides of the wall on either side of the crack suddenly ripped open revealing none other than Mathis and his strike force.

Date: February 27, 2013 | Leader: Mathis Mathews (Frost) | Combatants: Geokinetic, Weather Manipulator, Technopath, Pyrokinetic, and a few others with guns and less cool powers | Quirk: Right Arm from the Elbow Down is Made of Ice

A few exchanges of dialogue flew by, and she wasn’t very interested in most of it, but then the most wonderful sound graced her ears, before developing into a wholesome entrance complete with music and well-timed actions. The room became increasingly warm; the mayhem was making the pyrokinetic excited. Those too close without any way to cool down would find themselves sweating profusely. “I could use the warm up,” she said, shamelessly executing her pun while setting her right hand alight, little blue flames sputtering before bursting a more formidable flame that engulfed her bare arm. A sinister curved formed from her lips, and she stood straight, ditching the wall to face her foes. Was it courage? No. It was an itch.

Cursing to herself as her hack finally showed the strike force. With a sigh she ducked down, making a few taps as her hack entered the enemy comms. Tapping as she avoided gunfire the strike force would hear a weird noise, the dreaded brown note. Drawing her submachime gun she got ready to fire. "Clever feed back loop! Delaying my bug long enough to get here!" Firing into a charging strike force member. "Sadly your boys can’t hold it for much longer." She fired into another charging enemy.

Shockwave

There was a moment were confusion crossed Shockwaves face when the first lyrics came over the speakers. Then realization quickly followed, though far from being upset, he broke into a smile. "Goodman." While Nirvana's Come As You Are wouldn't be the large male's pick for battle tunes, he definitely appreciated someone who put on a show. There was far too little of that. He threw the table forward, providing cover, seconds before the wall crumbled. "Olivia, erase the hard drives. Landslide, clear the building. Toast...open fire." He winked at the pyro who seemed to be enjoying the spectacle as much as he as heat radiated off of her. With that, he stood and sent a bolt of lightning arcing towards the new doorway Frost had made for himself. "Concussion sends his regards Frost."

Mathis rolled his eyes and looked to his right as a wall of stone shot up to protect him from the incoming attacks. So many people wanted to say something cool at him and he didn't really have the time to think of a response to each of them so he decided he would only respond to Shockwave. The man who had done the most to him. It was Shockwave's bolt of lightning that first cracked the stone shield and when it cracked, it almost immediately shot off in Shockwave's direction. So did Mathis. Mathis kept himself close behind the wall of stone in order to keep himself covered from Shockwave's blasts but once he was within a few feet he pushed out from behind it and shot a spike of ice at his old 'friend's' foot. The spike was intended to unbalance Shockwave as Mathis was hoping he would kick his foot back out of the way to avoid being pinned to the floor. If he did Mathis would quickly follow up with an attempt to tackle the Dominion leader... well honestly the way momentum works Mathis was going to try that anyways.

Meanwhile A pyrokinetic by the name Jeremy was moving on Olivia. He waited for the gap of time in which she would need to reload and then he let loose a stream of fire in her general direction. He didn't worry too much about hitting her because he knew what all people eventually learned when they sat in a burning building. If it wasn't the fire it was the smoke inhalation. The one Shockwave called Toast may have been able to intervene but she'd find her own problems inbound. The geokinetic who'd been helping Mathis had turned his focus on her and sent a boulder her way.

Were it not for the intervention of the geokinetic, B.T. would’ve habitually gone to test her might against the other pyro. The boulder quickly drew her attention, barrel-rolling to her left, igniting her other arm, and throwing three fireballs his way in quick succession. “Watch where you’re lobbing the rocks, dipshit,” she said aloud, flicking them off and charging towards the other pyro and setting her entire body alight to bum-rush him, the flames boosting her forward push. “Over here, ash tray.” She wasn’t all that keen on subtleties, opting to tackle and beat him down a notch. B.T. was a brawler beneath the pyrokinesis, raised in mean streets where people tore each other apart to survive. All the conflict only seemed to make her feel right at home; she seemed more comfortable with people fighting than she was standing around. This opportunity to get up close and personal was the equivalent to therapy.

➳ Eris listened quietly as the others spoke, not wanting to pipe up once again. They seemed to have things under control, though, so that eased what nerves she was feeling quite a bit. That was, until the speakers kicked on suddenly with the thumping sound of a bass guitar and song lyrics. She recognized the song as Nirvana, but she was still confused as to why it was playing over the speakers all of a sudden. Apparently even Shockwave was briefly at a loss. The music started and paused a handful of times leaving silence before sounds began to come through from somewhere outside of the room. It didn't sound like anything good. Eris felt her nerves rising again. She didn't really feel all that prepared for this sort of thing, now. Though the others didn't particularly seem to share her worry -- the pyro least of all. In fact, she definitely looked excited. A crack split the wall, then, and Mathis Matthews appeared on the other side of it. With that, Shockwave quickly took action, calling out orders at them.

Eris was startled to hear her title among the group of people being ordered around. She hadn't really thought herself all that important to the group. Still, she nodded diligently and hurried to do as she was told, trying to ignore the sounds of the battle that was beginning as she ushered those who weren't taking part in the direction of the exit. More than once she had to do her best to block stray sprays of flame or rock that had shot past those on the offensive as everyone tried to exit safely... Well... As safely as possible considering the circumstances. ◄

With her orders received Olivia ran. She tapped a button on her phone, which set off a small pulse in the server room. It was protocol zero time for the technopath, a thing all technopaths hated. Granted the pulse would wipe the drives, but some parts needed a physical touch. Getting to the servers she armed a short timer block of C4. Going back out the door flew across the hall. "It's done but I think I was followed." Firing a few rounds at a soldier. "Protocol zero is done."
