"We'll call in an ambulance, don't worry! Just stay-"
"MY GOOD MAN."

Sleipnir put his hand on the officer's shoulder, his face showing genuine concern.

"I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'D MAKE IT THAT FAR... THE CUT IS SEVERE, AND I FEAR THAT BY THE TIME THE AMBULANCE ARRIVES, IT'D BE TOO LATE. DO YOU WANT THE LOSS OF AN INNOCENT LIFE ON YOUR HANDS, DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE?"

"...alright, get her to a hospital. Should've brought some medical supplies..."

The officer then turned his attention back to the building, now with the fear of this supposed maniac fresh in his mind and making him not focus on the group now making their way towards the car.

Sleipnir got a thumbs up from Sinon as they reached the car, only to realize...

“Wait, how are we going to get Sleipnir there?” Asuna asked.

Bucksden wrote:

"Depends on how much the car can carry. I'm heavier than a human, by my very nature, but I may be able to get snug in the back compartment without any consequence."

ooc

i uh... don't know whether heidi's there or not

“Okay that’s five of us, plus Penny who lay on top of three of us,” Sinon said. “Heidi, you know where to go so you’re driving.”

"Got it. But, uh..."

She turned around as she was about to enter the driver's seat, appearing worried as she addressed Sleipnir.

"...be careful with the box back there. He sometimes gets hyperactive."

"What's THAT supposed to mean?"

"Don't worry about it."

"I call shotgun." Markos says as he comes up to the car, and begins entering the front seat.

The two females gave him a weird look as they went in the back with Sleipnir. “Uh...what’s in the box?” Sinon asked, looking between Asuna and Heidi.

Bucksden wrote:

"It's... uh... a friend, let's put it like that. Seriously, as long as someone doesn't mess with the box while we're on the road it's not important."

She wasn't making the situation any better.

“Right...” They strapped in, as best as they could, while Heidi took the wheel. “Well, there goes it fresh made beds,” Sinon sighed.

"Sacrifices have to be made, I'm afraid. Get comfy, folks."

And so, they began the drive towards the building where Heidi had spent so much of her time, the hub of all of her efforts, and all of her in general.
The Althing Building's basement would have foreign souls in it once again.

Sinon whistled, seeing the building. “That’s where you’ve been living all this time? Almost looks like a fortress.”

“Well, considering she is both the leader and the main power force in Bucksden, is that really a surprise?” Asuna asked.

Coup

In the early morning the Muscovy government suffered a coup by the military, tensions between the government and the military had been rising up is the last years, the old government has been hunted down only making it out of the country very few minor political authorities, the new military government has promised to not harm any citizen and call for democratic elections by the end of the next year.
It needs to be remarked that the new government rushed diplomatic relations with the Turkic Union, making deals and accepting conditions that the last government had strongly rejected.
The current leader Nicolai Solovióv has proclaimed that the Turkic Union and Muscovy must form a strong relationship, the limited trade had been increased to the top and military agreement on defense have been already signed, all this event have occurred in the interval of a week, surprising many by how smooth have been the sudden change with the population and the still existing opposition.

((OOC: Your post is a good idea, though we would like a bit more details so that it doesn't appear god modding, such as how it was prepared, the generals and people you have enticed over the years and pampered, how you transported equipment and advisors to Muscovy, etc.

It is recommended could spread your post out and make it longer.))

Eclipse hadn't much any idea to what the xeno's were saying. Though as they lowered their weapons.

Eclipse: "Marines, stand down. Hostilities defused, for now." she says as she got up and checked the other marines who were either dead or lying on the ground, "Medic! I need you to check if these 2 Marines are alive!"

Medic: "Yes ma'am!" he says as he turns them over and flips them onto their fronts, removing their helmet and body armour and checking their pulse by their chest and their breathe. Opening their eyes and bringing a flashlight to see if their pupils will dilate or react to the sudden intensity of light, "Ma'am, the two Marines are dead."

Eclipse: "damn it, names?"

Medic: "Private First Class Maisie Gill and Lance Corporal Kate Knight."

Eclipse: "Relay this to the Admiral, the Confederate HQ will deal with the families and children of the Marine's." she says, as the Medic gave her a bottle of medical alcohol. She closed the eyes of the Marines and poured a bit of the alcohol onto her hand and wiped the Marine's faces with it, "May you not suffer and be stretched into Hell, may your afterlife be a quick one." she said and prayed. It seems as though Eclipse had been more preoccupied with the dead than with Sergeant Damien Hunter.

By the time she was finished, there was a sudden announcement that Captain Ozzel had just entered the hangar. He went up to Hunter, who quickly saluted. “Sergeant, I hope you have good news,” he said.

“I’m afraid it’s a bit of both,” Hunter replied. “The good news is we managed to cease hostilities, due to a misunderstanding. The bad news is they speak a language we can’t translate.”

“I see...what was this misunderstanding?”

“Apparently they thought we were droids...despite her looks, the leader here doesn’t appear to be Kapteynian.”

Ozzel sighed. “Regardless, they lost five ships...” Now he was wondering if they were in over their heads. Unless...

Ozzel brought out his holopad, switching to tablet model, which allowed you to draw via stylus. Ozzel never thought his few years of taking art classes would pay off right now.

“Sir?” Hunter asked, looking a bit confused.

“Sergeant, we may not be able to communicate via words, but we could still do so via pictures. As the old saying goes, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’”

He then walked over to Eclipse once he was finished and cleared his throat. “My name is Captain Ozzel of the Alliance Navy. I realize we can not communicate with words but we may have a different solution.” He then handed her the holopad, which currently depicted three objects. The first was the Gozanti-class ship (at much smaller detail), the second was the planet below them, and the third was an arrow connecting the two.

“We believe one of our ships crashed on your planet and we believe there may have been survivors. If there’s anything you can tell us, we’d be grateful.”

"The real fortress is below the building. Turrets, drones flying about... the basement isn't a place you'd want to be attacking, trust me. It also happens to be one of the better places for mechanical repairs in Bucksden, not to brag."

Heidi parked the car outside the building, getting out and moving around to the back.

"Can you guys make sure Penny gets in? I want to carry the thing I was talking about myself."

“Of course.” Asuna and Sinon helped carry Penny inside, both marveling at the large building and soon what they would see inside.

Markos enters the building, fairly impressed at the design and architecture, and begins heading downstairs with the group.

Sleipnir and Heidi weren't far behind, Heidi leading the way as they carried the long box between themselves. Soon enough, they reached the entrance to the basement of the building, and Heidi put the box on her shoulder as she opened the way down into the depths.

"There we go. Getting access is normally next-to-impossible, but this is like inviting you guys into my house."

Once they reached the bottom, they could hear a low humming nearby. “Let me guess...is that your mainframe?” Sinon asked.

Bucksden wrote:

"If you enjoy hardcore utilitarian design and wires, then yeah, this is a work of art. It has a certain charm to it, I will admit."

And so they went down into the dim void below...

Heidi nodded.

"Bingo. Before I started sleeping in the apartment with Penny, this was where I spent most of my time. Not exactly homely, but it's a testament to the power of human ingenuity combined with dire circumstances. Or, in other words, it's a cobbled-together heap of computers, servers and circuitry, all centered around an artifact that we don't entirely understand. That being my core. We should be approaching one of the automated workshops..."

They passed an open door leading into a room bursting with machinery, but strangely tranquil in terms of actual activity. Only a few drones buzzed about inside, fixing up their brethren and pushing each other about when they had nothing else to do.

"...about three seconds ago. Sleipnir, back up a little, we're here."

"No need to be pushy. I can only walk so fast thanks to that girlfriend of yours."

"Shut up."

They then took Penny inside and out her on one of the tables. “So now what?” Asuna asked. Sinon seemed transfixed on the drones.
