Warnings/Notes| Please put any necessary warnings in your thread headers.


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.

"District 13...?" This didn't do much to dissuade her that this wasn't some weird kind of afterlife, because District 13 was just as dead as he was. "That place is gone...The Capitol bombed it over 70 years ago." But despite her words, she let him pull her up, and made no move to run away. She seemed...in decent health. Better health than a Capitolite in the arena had any right to be.

"But...if you're taking me out of here, I'll go. I don't care where it is." Anywhere was better than here. Somewhere that didn't feel like a countdown until she died.

"An' Capitolites never get sent into the arena," Wyatt muttered. "Ain't lyin' grand?"

She seemed healthy enough, though, he decided. Certainly enough that she should be able to make it back to the entrance and the plane without keeling over first.

"Come on." He nodded his head back the way he'd come. "We ain't got a lot of time, so we're gunna have to move quick. Stick as close as can, alright?"
