There were no sign ups involved this time, this was an off-worlder idea which means the off-worlders clearly have every desire to see this through; you signed up with your consent. The mission is to be held in the evening, so the morning is spent preparing, stocking up the hovercraft with medical supplies, arming everyone, donning the now familiar all black attire. When the alert is sent out, it's simply to gather in the hanger and begin loading.

As promised, there's no sign of a 13-issued leader involved, it's on the mission team and it's assigned tactical head to lead themselves; all Webb gives the group is a chipper smile and 'Good Luck.'

The sun is just beginning it's descent when the hovercraft leaves the hanger. The flight isn't nearly as long as the one to District 3, but it's long enough that the sun has dipped below the horizon when the hovercraft stops. Stopping doesn't mean landing, however. The team's resident off-worlder pilot comes on over the speaker with given instructions: time to strap up and get ready to do a little sky-diving.

The plan is simple really. Should the hackers do their job, the storms will do as they're told and strike the dome below the hovercraft all at the same time, breaking the barrier and making a hole big enough for the strike team to carry out the rescue. Hackers strapped in and strike team ready to zipline down, the hovercraft's door opens to the windy outside, allowing a wonderful view of the bright flash and deafening crash a minute later as the weather codes carry out their destruction.

Time to move.

Linden Lockhearst- OTA

[Though Linden had been given the option to sit this mission out, he's been far too restless since the last one to even consider it. For all that hard work to amount to sitting on his thumbs from a claustrophobic bunker was out of the question, and he'd after nurturing and honing his existing skill and talent even more in the computer labs, he'd joined the hacking team. While he's no slouch at working alone, and might even prefer it, he's got no problem meshing his skills with others when the situation requires it, and as a result, the storms had been successful, along with the breach. Now, it's a matter of scrambling signals and overloading servers so that the Capitol can't do shit about them for as long as it takes to do what they came to.

He's not on the ground this time. Along with all the other hackers, he's strapped into the hovercraft where they continue their efforts and are able to give and receive updates while they wage war on the Capitol's technology with District 13's.]

You should have plenty of time. That last wave should have their O.S. substantially crippled. They're almost certainly panicking.

[He sounds distinctly satisfied at the prospect.]
