The door opens into a busy hallway, soldiers and associated personnel moving this way and that in the controlled chaos that precedes a battle. A few casts puzzled glances at Annabelle, but say nothing, noting how the blonde woman is being escorted by the Special Agent.

Date: 2010-12-06 09:13 pm (UTC)Tanya ducks into a large room, wardrobe and storage? She addresses the man behind a counter. "Sargent, we need two urban cammo suits, winterized, medium. Full kit."
The man blinks at Annabelle, opening mouth to say something, but the Commando cuts him off. "Now!" He startles and nods, rushing off to get them the uniforms.

no subject
Date: 2010-12-07 06:08 pm (UTC)Tanya gives nod, grabbing one of the stacks and moving behind a screen to quickly change: the uniforms include hats, face covers, miniaturized radios, a ballistic vest... well, everything for the modern soldier.

Date: 2010-12-07 06:13 pm (UTC)It's a very nice kit, which is good. She has the feeling she's going to need all of it before the day is over.

Date: 2010-12-07 06:30 pm (UTC)Tanya's going to be the one picking the explosives, as she's the expert here.

Date: 2010-12-07 07:00 pm (UTC)The battle will be short, one way or another, after all.
Next, down to the exit and out, where they can see the chronosphere with the domed cover already up. Twinkling, shifting lights can be seen inside it, and they start to glow brighter. "Just in time. They are powering up."
no subject
Date: 2010-12-07 07:05 pm (UTC)Annabelle eyes the chronosphere cautiously. "Lucky for us," she says with a bark of a laugh. "We wouldn't want to miss all the excitement."
no subject
Date: 2010-12-07 07:15 pm (UTC)One of them spots Tanya and snaps to attention. "Officer on deck!" The whole group, fifty or so, all dressed in similar winterized urban cammo, stand to attention as well.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-07 07:28 pm (UTC)She knows what she's doing, and she's got Tanya to vouch for her. Hopefully, that will be enough to smooth over any rough patches.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-07 08:09 pm (UTC)Just on cue, a bugle call is heard. "That's our cue: buckle up and head in, ladies and gentlemen." The group disperses, heading into the armored vehicles, Tanya climbing into the closest one.

Date: 2010-12-08 05:16 am (UTC)...
How does it feel, for a moment to be pure energy, then return to matter? Fortunately, it does not feel like anything: there is a bright light, visible even past close eyelids, a shiver along the spine and the groan and rumble of the fabric of the universe being twisted.
The light fades... and Tanya hits the release of her seatbelt. "MOVE! Out and scatter." She's talking on the radio as well, opening the rear hatch and slipping out to sweep the terrain.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-08 05:19 am (UTC)She's in motion only a moment after Tanya, gun at the ready. She'll move along with her friend, sweeping the terrain and looking for trouble.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-08 05:30 am (UTC)Each group leaving the carriers checks a wrist compass and moves off, apparently having been briefed and knowing which way to go. Tanya herself does likewise, checking their position and leading Annabelle and three other Special Forces north, as quickly and silently as possible.
Hell is about to break loose. Any minute now.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-08 05:40 am (UTC)There will be Hell, but some of it will be of their making, not the enemy's. That's what they're here for, after all.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-08 07:10 pm (UTC)Well, that's what they are here for, right? Tanya draws one of her pistols and drills with .45 bullets into a conscript's neck and eye, just to make sure.
