Mission log 003: Preparations
The helicopter landed on the roof of the Viridian City gym. Alfred turned and spoke to his team. "Alright, this is the only time to get prepared. So get everything you think you need to complete the mission. Tonight is when we hike to the base."
"As if we were the kind of people to go into a situation unprepared," Dave scoffed. Destiny rolled her eyes and got of the helicopter.
"Just be sure that your right," Alicia said getting out after her. Her sister and Meka followed.
Dave looked over to Alfred and asked, "Are you coming?"
"In a moment, someone has to park this thing." He said shutting down the machine. A short time passed and the rockets had begun their preparations. Lily and Dave headed to the computer storeroom. They need to get laptops, each customized to fit the mission specs. Dave got an infrared and radio broadcaster in case he needed to hack in remotely. Lily got extra memory so she could hold extra programming codes. She also took her on custom keypad program that would save her time in programming. Alicia and Chance had left to the equipment room with Meka and Sliver to get the materials to get past the outer defenses. Alicia picked up plastic explosives. She also picked up a pair of knuckle-dusters. She and Meka also picked up a keycards and keys that could adjust to different locks. Meka picked up a safe-cracking kit, some wire cutters and other parts of a burglary kit. Alicia also gave Chance a gen. 2 TM. It was number one and contained dynamic punch. She figured the fighting type would need it.
"Teaching you pokémon some new moves?" Meka asked picking up some thick electric proof gloves. "You don't thing he's strong enough?"
"Oh, I know he's strong enough. It's just that I think that we might need the extra firepower if we meet some of those research projects. I once had a mission to recapture one, and I know that the boss's science division can make some nasty stuff," Alicia snapped back picking up a stealth suit.
"Whatever, I know Sliver's strong enough as she is," Meka retorted picking up some stealth clothing as well.
*You always have faith in me, * Sliver said smiling at her trainers conviction.
*I think it's nice he does believe in you, but you should also prepare for the worse. The first rule of fighting is that there is maybe someone stronger than you. So you should always prepare for that possibility," Chance said, taking a few practice swings. The ghost just shrugged, which for her was bobbing slightly since she had no arms and legs. Elsewhere Destiny was sitting watching Soared fly through an aerial obstacle course. The Pidgeot was making great time thought the loops and pillars that made up the course. Noticing that his trainer was somewhat preoccupied, he quickly finished the course and landed next to her.
*What's bothering you? * He asked.
"Oh, well it's this mission. I know I'm the only negotiator Team Rockets got, but no one has ever tried to negotiate with a machine. I can't always convince trainers to give up their pokémon, so how am I supposed to convince this computer to let me into the room that for all purposes contains her mind?" She said when she noted her pokémon's concern.
*Just speak from you heart, as you always do. I'm sure that will work. After all if she has a mind she might have heart you can reach," The bird suggested.
"I suppose I should just speak from my heart, and ask Dave how she thinks…" The rocket peacemaker supposed. "Thanks for the reassurance," She said stoking her birds head, right between the crests.
Alfred and Spitfire where practicing their aiming at a target range. The gunman was debating on what kind of firearms he should bring. He knew he should bring his modified M-16 assault rifle and his standard nine- millimeter handgun. He was currently testing out the magnums and Spitfire practicing the accuracy of his flamethrower. He fired his last five shots at target and as he was waiting for it to be pulled in Fate walked in.
[Don't mind me, I am here just to met my fellow pokémon,] she sent telepathically to the gunman. She walked over to the fire type as he nailed another target. *Nice shot, * She commented to him.
*And what do you want, * He asked as another row of targets moved in to place. The target could be shot across like skeet, moved into rows, or pop up from behind obstacles. So far Spitfire had a perfect score.
*I just want to see what the other pokémon where like. We will be working together for this mission and I wanted have some idea what you where like, * She calmly stated ignoring his distrust.
*What does it matter? We will go in, break the security, and then come out. After that we won't see each other again, so why does it matter? * He asked after he toasted the targets in rapid secession.
*We may have to react with out guidance if worse comes to worse, and we will need to be able to know what the other might do in that case, * she said.
*If it comes down to that, I will know what to do… * he said.
Fate sighed as the doors closed behind her. Spitfire had ignored her after his last comment and ice/psychic decided to talk to the others. She went over to one of the training pools and found Rage and Dave having a last pep talk. Lily looked up from entering some codes in to her computer.
"Any luck getting to know that magmar?" She asked.
[None, he's so closed,] the pokémon sent back. *Hey Rage, what do you think of our mission? * Fate asked.
*There isn't much to say. I am withholding judgment until we actual get there, * the large water/flying type said.
*It's good to get more information before having an opinion. I hope that the mission is not as hard as it sounds, * the first pokémon responded. Several hours pass and the rockets were in their rooms getting some rest before the mission that night. Meka and Sliver talked as he packed his bags. Alicia and chance meditated while her sister and her pokémon finalized their preparations. Alfred and Spitfire slept, knowing that they might not get a chance later. Dave and his pokémon slept as well, and Destiny and her pokémon got something to eat. That early that Alfred stood with his team near the border of the forest.
"Alright people this is it. We have had some time to get everything together. I hope that all of you come back, so don't do anything stupid and get yourselves killed. Aright let's move out," Alfred said turning to march into the woods.
"Is it me are doesn't he sound like a sergeant from a move?" Meka commented.
"Not even close to the real thing," Dave said softly shaking his head.
"Still, let us not delay," said Alicia becoming focused and serious. "We shouldn't use are pokémon unless we have to. That way they don't get tired out."
"I can agree to that," Destiny said as the group followed Alfred. They reached the base at moonrise.
"Ok everyone into position. Meka and Alicia, good luck," Alfred said. The two looked at each other and nodded. They went to work, their cloaking them. They reached the outer fence with no problems. Meka donned his gloves and looked at the electric fence with barbered wire on the top.
"I climb the fence when you take care of that guard tower," he said pointing to the large tower on his left. "I wouldn't like to be mowed down by auto-guns." The rocket black belt nodded and dashed off to the tower staying low, while Meka waited. Inside, Dina continued on her task, not yet noticing the would-be intruders.
