Background: This is an introductory session for Chaltah, Kenoth and Crimson. The three of them come from different backgrounds, but have been forcibly recruited into one of Faith Industries' elite spec ops teams. This scene begins at an interrogation room, where all three awaken.

Unfortunately the chat buffer knocked off some dialogue during this run. I'll be more careful during the next.


8:51 PM Chaltah Songblade groans faintly and lifts her head, the dim light making it hard to see beyond into the darkness. She finally pushes herself upright, and sucks in a sharp breath of air "Oh hell..." she mutters and squints her eyes. She looks down and runs her hands over herself for a second to assess herself, noticing all she had was the clothes on her back, sandy brown shirt and desert camo jacket and pants along with heavy duty boots laced up to mid calf. Fingerless gloves upon her hands allowed her the better dexterity she needed for her line of work. She turns her head off to the side as she hears another voice "Who's there?

8:54 PM [Gabriel Faith] (Back. Kenoth?)

8:57 PM Kenoth lets a faint groan pass between his lips and his hand moves to cup his forehead. His eyes opened to reveal a color somewhere between yellow and orange. The drow surveys his surroundings with an air of complete calm, taking in the sight of the other two in the dimly lit room. He wore a pair of black slacks and a white shirt, with a black leather trench coat over top of it. A set of well worn military style boots adorned his feet. With nothing more than a passing check he could tell that he had been relieved of his items. "Thorough..", he mumbles to himself, with the faintest hint of a smirk touching his lips. His silver hair was cut fairly short, though it was currently laying flat.


9:04 PM [Gabriel Faith] (Free posts for now. You're all just coming around, and that's enough time to ask whatever questions that may arise.)

9:05 PM Crimson made a habit of wearing his hair in a braid for years but in this time and place, it was loose and strands of it trickled down his shoulders and chest, poking out of the hood he had yet to remove. The two other occupants were strangers to him. Perhaps they descended from people he had known, and that was the reason for this odd deja vu feeling he got. He too became aware that his gun, and various tools were gone now.

9:20 PM Chaltah Songblade huffs and rests her hands on the table listening to the sounds of the room "It could be... it all depends on who it is... and their motives... that will determine the nobility of a service." she looks over to Crimson and his hooded face "Who are you two anyway?" she'd flick her gaze to Kenoth as well

9:29 PM Kenoth gives a faint smile as Crimson's words were not entirely lost on him, "Me? I am just a lowly drow..", he answers almost mockingly before settling back down into his seat. His gaze settles onto the hooded fellow and a slight spark of curiousity lit his eyes.

9:31 PM Crimson was iriitated and groggy and while had had no immediate job he had to be on, he would be anywhere but here. He was fed up with loafing in this darkened room and his voice rung out. "Why are we here?"

As if on cue to the all important question raised by Crimson, the room slowly began to light up. The florescent lights on all four corners of the room cast a piercing white glow, illuminating the interrogation room very brightly; the walls are smooth, clean, and very bare. From where the three of you are settled, there is a large impenetrable one-sided window to your left; ahead of you is what appears to be a rolled sheet, not unlike the kind for a film presentation. However, the most noticeable device lies on the table itself, which is circular and has various lights that are only just beginning to power up. It is in fact one of the newly developed portable A.I. boards, designed to support holograph projections of Artificial Intelligence programs...

The device powers up and with a azure-white flicker, presents a humanoid Elf man in a business suit, standing approximately 12 inches high. The image is transparent and clear. The man appears to be in his late fifties, but like other AI programs, represents only the icon of it. A soft baritone voice speaks out, "Good evening. It's about time you all woke up. I'm sure you've got your share of questions, but for now I'm here to answer the most important one. Why are you here?" Behind him the panel rolls down, displaying the logo of Faith Industries. "I'm sure you recognize this image, no?"


9:44 PM Chaltah Songblade huffs at both of them and rolls her eyes "typical..." would be all she would say before the lights came on and they were finally able to look around as her eyes adjusted. She'd move toward the image as it came to life and stared inquisitively at it "I'd only heard rumors about such technology..." as it spoke she moved back and turned her gaze toward the screen at the symbol studying it, her mind still a little fuzzy "I... think I have seen it around"

9:48 PM Kenoth squints slightly against the light, though he was spared being blinded due to the slow adjustment. His attention settles onto the rolled sheet, though he did notice the window off to the side. The holograph did cause him to raise a brow in question. "Of course.", he states flatly as he looks towards the logo. It was hardly surprising after witnessing the technology of the A.I. board. He runs a hand through his hair and settles back into his chair as if he were simply about to watch a movie.

9:51 PM Crimson eyed the hologram curiously. The lights did not make him btistle nearly as much as the logo did. Something about it..Faith industries, it always lingered on his mind. He knew this, long ago he knew a faith, but ir had been so very long ago and it faded in his mind. Stone faced beneath his hood he repleid. "es..is thatwho has brought us here, what on eatth for?"
9:55 PM [Crimson] *Yes is that

The AI program continued to speak, its voice echoing across the room as it does, "Each of you has a background that has been deemed certifiable in the company's interests. In retrospect, the company itself is known for being a major player in world economics and the global trade market. What some of you may or may not be aware are the rumors regarding its involvement in special affairs, termed as shadow operations." There is a pause before the AI adds, "What none of you are aware of is that Faith Industries is, in fact, an operation funded by the UN itself. Its cell networks are an elite organization, and in being present, you have been recruited into it. Questions so far?"

10:01 PM Chaltah Songblade had little use for the technology that the company provided. She had grown up in a world where technology didn't even exist. But in the times she made contact with the world she knew enough of it to understand its uses. "Shadow operations? What are these shadow operations? And why is the UN interested in it to fund this? And what do you mean by certifiable in the compnaies interest? Just what is going on here that you would haul us off to god knows where that we have to speak to a blasted computer instead of a flesh and blood body?"

10:07 PM Kenoth had his curiousity peaked at this information and he clasps his hands together, letting his fingers intertwine. He understood enough to know that there was no saying no to the forced recruitment. "Shadow Operations..UN funded..", he chuckles and shakes his head, "I'm assuming you have the means to secure our loyalty?", he asks the tiny hologram, though his gaze drifts towards the one sided window.

10:08 PM Crimson was a little less worked up than Chaltah, absorbing evrything the hologram said in silence. When he spoke up his voice was soft and his message brief to contrast the woman's. "It was rather silly to ..kidnap us.. I have no qualms with my skills being used, as long as I get paid.." the man lowered his hood so his red locks wouldnt keep obscuring his view of the holo-Gab.

The AI studies Chaltah for a moment, flickering momentarily due to static. "Given the circumstances of your arrival, it would be ill advised to send a representative to your presence. I understand your concerns, and were it up to me it would be the last time you find yourselves present in this place." The AI regards Kenoth for a second, then speaks, flatly, "Most certainly. In our possession are the collected dossiers concerning each of your previous career roles, and rest assured that your cooperation will be handsomely rewarded." The program looks over each of you before glancing over its shoulder at the panel behind it...

Behind the AI program, the panel changes images to reveal a map of Rome, Italy. Several images of people are seen. You count two humans, both male; a female elf; and a large male troll. They appear to be together in a camera shot, black and white, discussing outside a parkade of two black Hondas. Each of them are semi-formal in dress and attire. The woman carries a silver briefcase. "Some of you will recognize these individuals. If not, I will introduce them to you. These are suspected members of Deep 9, a European based terrorist cell. We believe they are targetting a planned summit sometime this month. You have been tasked with stopping them at all costs." ...

The AI continues to speak, the images changing to provide a better view of the targets. The two male humans appear to be twins, brown haired, blue eyes, tanned and of Middle Eastern descent; the female elf, blonde hair down to her shoulders, pale complexion possibly European; the Troll has black hair, tusks protruding from his fat lips, and is a deep olive color. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to recover the case pictured, and to eliminate all four suspects. Any further intelligence recovered will also be turned in to the parties involved in this operation." The AI pauses, flickering again...

Beneath the table, each of you has a package waiting for you, and enclosed within is a personal data assistant with file management and online access. Also enclosed are local identification measures, a cellular phone and matching keys to your safehouses. Situated in your locations are means to access the company databanks, and means to secure and requisition equipment and supplies for this mission. The AI momentarily flickers off and the panel rolls itself upwards. Suddenly the lights turn off, and a door appears from the left side of the room, the lighting returning to its originally dimmed state.


At this point, Kenoth and Chaltah, because of their backgrounds are aware of Deep 9's involvement with an attempted hijacking of a 747 in Switzerland. They are also aware of that the cell targets capitalist interests within Europe. They are aware that Deep 9 is a medium sized network.


10:26 PM Chaltah Songblade huffs and folds her arms "I'd prefer a face to face..." she'd mutter as she moved to lean on the table instead of sitting in the chair. She'd look toward the window and give a faint snarl before looking back to the image "I never did like playing the part of the hunted..." she'd grumble to herself before her attention was drawn to the picture, taking each one in individually, letting her gaze rest finally on the elf with the briefcase "Deep nine..." she thought for a moment but there was little she recalled but she continued to listen. At the mention of something beneath the table she reached under and pulled her out and looked it over, sighing "Just can't get away from it..." at the sight of the door she moved toward it, eager to get out of the confining room

10:32 PM Kenoth takes in the details of the persons that was provided, committing it to memory for the time being. Once the briefing was over he reaches beneath the table and removes the package, testing the weight to see if it matched up with what was described to be inside. He lets out a quiet chuckle at the comment from the woman, "So it would seem.", he spoke cryptically before moving for the door.

10:33 PM Crimson was still stone-faced but there wasa glint of intrigue in his eyes. "That troll, looks fun." already the gears in the old man's head were turning as to who he wanted to take out paerticularly. He did not forget the Ai's words and pulled out the box. "I take it our weapons are waiting outside." he added rather curtly as he rose up. Looking to the other two he added. "And if we are indeed working together on this some introductions are in order." he walked out hte door " You may simply call me Criimson.." (Pause for sleepies?)

Inside each of the packages are the items mentioned, along with an additional note written on a piece of a paper: An address. The PDA activates on touch function and is supported by a wireless network none of you recognize. At the bottom of the envelope is a wallet in each that has several credit cards and about 500 Euros. For a moment, you may wonder why you possess Euros of all currencies...and only then when you emerge from the room, are you able to fathom your surroundings. You are all standing on what appears to be a massive freighter, outside of a large freight box. Around your positions are towering stacks of like freight boxes with the exception of yours alone...

...The air itself is heavy with the smell of salt and the air is surrounded with the sound of screaming seagulls. The open sky is rich and blue and far off in the distance, amidst the sounds of the freight ship blasting its horn, lies the sight of the Roman colliseum. You are in Rome.



That concludes the first session. Smile
