Lumis' office - Sept 26

[Constantine McGraw]

After the planning meeting, Con stopped by Dom's office.

[Domanic Taylor]

Con is shown in by Denise after a five minute or so wait. Dom is wearing very nice slaks, as per usual, but he's got his shirt off, and some kind of device strapped to his arm, with a heavy cable running to the wall.

"Hello Constantine. What can I do for you?"

[Constantine McGraw]

Con eyed the device curiously, but briefly, before getting down to business.

"I wanted to go over the mission plan for tomorrow. If it's not convenient, I can came back."

[Domanic Taylor]

"Go ahead, I have some time now."

[Constantine McGraw]

"Alright." Con replied. "In general terms, team 2 will be crashing in through the 'front door' while 6 goes in either here or here." He indicated a couple of places on the mansion plans he'd brought with them.

"Once the we're, and the vamps are hopefully busy dealing with us, Victoria and Jayda will go in after any hostages. I think they're the best suited of all of us to a steal mission and with any luck, Jayda's 'porting abilities will make getting hostages out a lot easier if there are any."

Con looked up from the plans briefly, if Dom made no comment, he'd continue.

[Domanic Taylor]

Dom nods, and motions for Con to continue.

[Constantine McGraw]

"I've slotted Arctos in with 2 to fill the hole there, with Nina staying in support. From what I've heard, she's got some useful ranged capabilites above what her spiders can do. I've also suggested that she and Kaylee check in with Doc McCoy to see if they can glean anything on how their respective powers will interact with the vamps physiology. I'm holding the final dispostition of both Kaylee and Kat pending that.

The one thing I haven't worked into this is where you'll be, assuming that you'll be coming in with us. My initial thought is that you take the entry point that 6 doesn't, after that..." He looked up with a faint smile, obviously expecting a comment.

[Domanic Taylor]

"I'm hoping that light-strobe will have a pretty detrimental effect on them. If not, I'll be using weapon-grade laser emissions to take them down. I'm strong enough that they will probably be flushed toward your teams."

[Constantine McGraw]

"Then we'd better hope Kaylee can cook up something nasty." Con replied with a grin. "Either way, we'll handle it."

Losing the grin, he continued "I'd like you to be first line of support for Jay and Vicki, either if they run into something they can't handle or if Jay can't find a work round any 'port inhibitors they have running and they have to fight their way out."

[Domanic Taylor]

"If you want me to support them, the best place for them to be is coming in with me. Otherwise I'll probably be driving enemies at them, if any manage to escape me at all."

[Constantine McGraw]

Con considered this for a moment, taking another look over the plans.

"Perhaps it might be best for the 3 of you to go in together then make the call once you've gotten a feel for the sitation. There might not be captives at all, which will change things significantly."

[Domanic Taylor]

"We're not trying for a wholesale slaughter here, but so remember to repeatedly ask them to surrender. That being said, anyone of these Vampires who makes an attack against the people I'm with that could possibly be lethal, I will just put down immediately. We're not going to be generating any X-Team bodies on this run, and if that means some of the Vampires have to die, well, after their latest assault and killing I no longer have sympathy."

"The upshot of that is that the area around my entrance should be pretty clear. Anyone coming with me can mostly focus on securing anyone who does surrender, while those of you at the other entrances should have some real fighting to do."

[Constantine McGraw]

Con nodded.

"We'll do what we have to do." He hesitated, then continued. "I'm a little worried about Bear though." This was the one problem he hadn't yet come up with a workable approach for dealing with.

[Domanic Taylor]

"In what way? Closer is an excellent warrior."

[Constantine McGraw]

"She is, yes." Con agreed. "It's not her skills I'm worried about.

I'll talk to her in the morning."

[Domanic Taylor]

"Elucidate. What's the potential issue?"

[Constantine McGraw]

"You've seen the files we brought back? Bear didn't react well to the idea of some of the vampires being unwilling victims."

[Domanic Taylor]

"So she'll strike to subdue. Her mutation is fairly well suited to that anyway."
