Kai Roberts --Current Assignment U.S.S Hornet II--1 Jan 2095


Currently assigned to the USS Hornet II, fourth-generation AirCraft Carrier in service since 2052. Twice the size of a Gerald R. Ford Class of supercarrier, it houses more than 5000 personnel, a full compliment of 72 fighters, three rescue helicopters, two full Silver Eagle squads (12 each) in addition to the Seal Team units that are usually on loan, it is nevertheless dwarfed by the U.S.S. Ticonderoga, Pride of the Navy, berthed along side her in Panama City, Florida.  Having just rotated off a 6 month deployment that saw some of the most extensive combat operations in a while, everyone was looking forward to some R&R for the New Year.

In a strange turn of events, the majority of the command staff save for the XO and a few others has been reassigned and Vice Admiral Yokoa, the Captain of the Hornet, has been recalled to DC.

Lean and fit, Lieutenant Kai Roberts, called Shark by his team, stands at the Starboard rail of the ship's flight deck overlooking the harbor, the cool ocean breeze washing over him bringing with it the familiar smell of fish and brine.  In the pre-dawn light he can see civilian fishing vessels setting up beyond the restricted zone. Making his way to the port side, the two boarding docks mate the ship to the warf where he can see the local cargo vans begin arriving to make their morning deliveries to the local businesses (still several hundred yards in from the warf). The sea breeze brings the

As Lieutenant of the ship's Seal Team 7 Contingent, he is responsible for the 8 man squad, their equipment arms and duty cycle and reports directly to the XO and Captain. Without any direct orders, the team keeps mostly to itself however with the majority of the ship off on 72 hour liberty for the New Years Holiday plus the lack of qualified officers he was pulled to the more mundane task of Officer of the Deck (OOD) while in port.  He will be paired with Lt. JG Tanya Williams, Officer of the Deck in Training (Her Rank is the only thing preventing her from being fully Qualified OOD).  Senior Petty Officer Jenkins is the Master at Arms on Watch for the day and in charge of ship's security.

WIth 30 min to go before his shift he he reviews the duty roster for the day while sipping his coffee.  Footsteps alert him to company and he turns to see the XO of the ship, Captain Mike Dalton approaching.  [Language unknown: "Ieres inethivor Ereionredesthou Ousasi, Eero esthe lost ma lo la ers no pre..."]  It appears as if it were yet again another duty roster update but as soon as he touches the digital screen on the pad the screen green-lights.  "DNA print authorized--This report is classified Top Secret" crosses the screen and it flips from a duty roster to an active intel update. [Private to group English: "This came across the feed this morning and they felt the need to wake me up for it.  Since our intel liaison is still two days from joining us along with your replacements, I'd like your input on what you make of this. Lieutenant Williams has been notified that you'll be in a meeting and will take your watch until after the meeting. Any Questions?." ] If non, he then turns and heads off back to the Bridge, nodding to the morning launch crews as they prep their stations. Otherwise he'll remain for a few moments.

Scanning the the report details recent known and suspected terrorist threats and activities including those suspected of the People's Apocalyptic Army, or P.A.A., a superbly funded and capable terrorist organization that pops up from time to time. No one has ever caught any of their leaders or even located much more than a safe house (Compare them to COBRA/Hydra for scope of activities). The chatter isn't much but seems to indicate they, or someone pretending to be them (Lots of copy cats), is trying to organize a possible domestic strike. It also lists possible targets and places/person's of interest including the Hornett, Ticonderoga, their staff officers as well as a multitude of other other military or government agencies.

Skills:
*Perception
*Intelligence

In the time before the meeting, Shark bends his mind reviewing the material on the pad. A lot of it is just chatter but the one thing he is fairly certain of, the chatter revolves around a NEMA target in the SE USA. Someone called Zoltar is holding a meeting in Tampa in 4 days.

In reply to Kai Roberts (msg # 4):

Entering the secure briefing room Kai sees the XO, Senior Chief Petty Officer Hayes,  the Ships Sergeant at Arms. Lt. Commander Rabb, flight ops commander and a holographoc picture of Admiral Miriam Grey, Captain of the Ticonderoga and commander of her Battle Group and the Xo's yeoman.

The Admiral begins. She is stately in her Admiral Uniform, not much more than 40, young for an Admiral which speaks volumes about the ability she's shown and has a soft southern twang though you'd put her heritage as Middle Eastern. [Private to group NEMA Secure: "Now that we are all here, I want to hear all of your input. This matter came down with the highest urgency and that doesn't happen very often."]

Kai can hear her command staff's inputs and gives his analysis when prompted and offers his expertise. After a moments pause Admiral Grey speaks to the XO. [Private to group NEMA Secure: "Captain, I am ordering a recall of all personnel. We are too exposed in port. Log an emergency debarkation protocol drill and run it with whoever you have on board. Be underway immediately no matter who gets left behind. We'll figure it out later."] She turns to Kai.  [Private to group NEMA Secure: "Lieutenant, I'll authorize a capture mission..."]the video crackles and blanks out for a minute.  Suddenly the deck heaves and explosions can be heard as Claxons sound.  [Private to group NEMA Secure: "Sound General Quarters"] she yells at nearly the same time as the XO before the feed is lost.

[Private to Kai Roberts:
*mimic skill Military Etiquette (90%) your computer roll earlier alerted the Admiral to your request, GM fault for not posting it for you to roll so *auto sucess*
*perception success*
Kai can tell something is off about the Yoeman, his skin seems to be..droopy and he's pulling a knife

Spinning to arm lock hold the Yoeman, they fight for a moment for control of whatever is. It comes loose and the XO kicks it away.  The skin fully  melts away leaving a lanky skinny humanoid creature about 6ft tall with white hair, pointed ears and red-glowing eyes. The face is more round-egg shaped with skinny eye slits and small nose as compared to a human. It struggles but is unable to break the arm lock.The goopey old flesh is horrid smelling and kinda gross.

The device the XO picks up is unfamiliar with strange writing on it and several buttons.  "Security!" the XO hollers and two guards burst in and go wide-eyed seeing what Shark is wrestling with.

Overcoming their initial shock, the Sergeants taze the everliving shit out of it until it stops moving. Still attached Kai also gets some blow back but it's not enough to cause him any harm. Once the, whatever it is, stops moving, they cuff it and haul it off to the brig. It has no other devices on it. Only the gear that a Yoeman would have on them. The admiral orders for a lockdown on her ship (she saw the whole thing) as does the XO. Claxons sound and boots start running. After a few moments, the goo starts to disolve but the stench remains.

The XO looks around a little bewildered but you can see his focus snap back, a veteran of several combat missions he's not going to let a little...whatever that is phase him to the point of incapacitation.  [Language unknown: "Atcami'aten, ng oulan hackna, maus ne ta, one isie nafi houur. Siivssin m cata, ncreme m arel U preectionkor at ine.

Once geared the specialists assigned break off for their tasks to the room and searching comms. Each has a two man security detail with them.  Shark and his 6 men remaining move out with support from the Miliary Police assigned to the ship.

Moving quickly but with a purpose Kai and his team roll through the ship section section by section, a well oiled machine, greased by years of training and field experience.  XO's orders, everyone reports to battle stations and prepares for inspection once your team arrives.Not really knowing what they're looking for other than people out of place they watch each seaman perform their duties looking for those who don't belong.  The team finds a vent where the body of the Yeoman was stashed and put on ice so it wouldn't stink...unknown how long it's been there.  Will need an autopsy.  It appears as if his brain was pulled out of his head and turned into some kind of soup. They are able to determine that some transmission signals were sent off the ship, piggybacked on normal transmissions.  The smell the creatures give off when they transform is a particular odor that doesn't go away when the ooze dissipates. The team is able to follow it around the ship (Crit on perception) and find where the creatures was working on the ship's communications.  It was tapped in to every system on the ship. No other...aliens, or whatever it is, are found. The quick search takes 45 minutes.

Finishing the security sweep the Seal Team reports back to the Master at Arms of the Ship with their findings and turns in their preliminary report.  In the follow up, the XO has the team post up in three locations while they have everyone, your team included, do an actual strip search/blood test.  While this is going on, the research team on the ship is going over your findings.  Once your team has been cleared and enough of the security people are cleared to perform the inspections themselves the XO calls you to the Bridge.  [Language unknown: “Haen iche k mapl ous Cesilessas herblewil os reais fowhofun.

He nods,. "Transport will be here in 20."

The brig is standard affair.  When you arrive you see one of the Sergeants chained to the desk.  A moment of alarm then the creature's skin sloughs off revealing the creature you tangled with earlier.  The creature is handcuffed and chained to a table.  It doesn't appear to be any stronger than a normal person.  It's humanoid in shape, roughly 6' tall when standing but not as "thick" as a human would be. Their arms, hands and legs are more gangly.  The torso is skinnier and more round.  The head is on a long neck.  Longer pointed ears.  Almost no nose, small mouth and red-eye slits.  They do have hair but it's minimal.

the creature stares blankly as you enter.  When you begin to write and put numbers down you can tell it takes interest in you, eyeballing you intently.  It then smiles, it's teeth pointy but straight and clean.  It then rearranges your letters to form the word "doom".  As you watch it then begins to shapechange, it's body and skin sloughing off and morphing until you are staring at yourself cuffed to the table.

Gearing up and heading out the team arrives a block from the location identified in the intercepts and meets up with the NCIS agent and his team.  They are geared for a tactical response, only slightly less heavily armed than your team. He offers to shake hands.  [Language unknown: "Weha si t Romterwitlatnti Sonillthu, Tho Undtheles Usnefo Oerruttin Iohaer.

Ndilte preta i vorut siica po pa yin olis us ntter."] You proceed on foot the final half block.

The building is a 4 story office building with an attached parking garage that's only two stories tall. There is a small mall out front for employees to relax with a fountain and some benches. The main entrance faces south with two large glass doors for a main entrance. There is a personnel entrance at the rear to the alley. The garage to the east also has a double door personnel entrance as well as a small loading dock for box trucks. To the west is a small yard with trees lining the boulevard then a side walk. Across the street is additional public employee parking.  Behind the facility is an alley that goes the length of the block. Across the alley are the backside of some local restaurants and small cafĂ©’s the locals use for the lunch hour.  Your team is given the full layout of the facilty on the inside.  Mostly offices on each floor.  There is a community lunch room on the 2nd floor, open balcony on the roof with views of the ocean (elevator from lunch room to balcony overlook where people take lunch).  Building is currently leased to Waylon Enterprises and they sublet to multiple companies.  The basement level contains the boilers and furnace/HVAC equipment.  To activate the tracker, you'll need to get your computer tap into the server room on the second floor.  From there it will take 30 seconds to a minute to track the signals source.

Agent Garret Nods.  [Language unknown: "Ess ti di ourentbutshe e con"] He points across the field to a group  of three entering the facility now dressed as corporate maintenance workers.

You are able to gain access to the security feed. There are 120 people currently working in the facility. The server room is on the second floor. NCIS is able to set up a quick backstop for their team to check the servers. You know that any of the entrances would be good ambush points as is the server room.  However you are unable to determine immediately who in the facility is the one you are looking for.

The moments pass by tensely as they enter the facilty.  You are able to track them as they enter and head up to the second floor and gain access to the server room.  No eyes in the server room.  [Private to group NEMA Secure: "We're in, accessing the servers now...got it, on our way out."] Your watches all flip to a countdown timer. At 45 seconds it flips on and says "Tracking"...

Third floor, fourth office, 2nd computer.  Your maps populate with a photo of a standard office.  One reception desk, three small offices in the back. the computer pinpoints to the second computer in the office on the right. The space is leased to a Florida Charter LLC.  They supposedly charter small fishing boats.

The team exits the facility.

Everyone nods affirmative with no questions.  The team suits up and use the external access to the building to reach the room. A few minutes later the drone is over head.  There are three main windows.  They'll have to break the window to get the gas inside, slightly tricky without a small explosive on it.  Once everyone is in place, the teams are ready.

The glass shattering causes screams and hysteria which gets worse when it's followed by more glass shattering and several armed individuals in tactical gear storming the room.  Everyone panics as some run or try to while some freeze and some just hit the floor as they're commanded to. All the while coughing and hacking in the tear gas and smoke.

While your team storms the building here,newly arrived NCIS teams enter through the front and man all entrances to prevent runners while commanding everyone away from their computers.

Roll initiative.

Only one person is actually able to put up any fight but he's put down easily by the team. the right hook he gives shows he probably had some boxing training at some point. Securing the room you quarantine the computer.  The NCIS tech expert shows up.  [Language unknown: "Ou ncai elloar whmone iv io, pro i ca ndno-meal." ] he starts to work a as the computer is already open, loading a program to begin scanning the computer.  He pulls up a program running in the background masked under the antivirus software. [Language unknown: "nt of ngti pe..."] the technician mutters.  The code streams down the screen instead of across it (like i the matrix).  When he opens it and the details come out, it shows full technical details of of the ship as well as patrol routes, carrier flight times, maintenance times.  Everything the XO's Yeoman would have had access to in order to infiltrate the ship and pose as an imposter.  He starts running a trace. [Language unknown: "Paol ingvenwer ss herro m elckri, u witek thistashered wi, wiout enasil k int i Ou ivstr ilnito ll liof..."]  A commotion can be heard outside as a squad of suits enters the building unannounced. More can be seen outside arguing with the NCIS officers. "Trouble...Feds" is all you get from Garret as you can hear him discussing heatedly with a suit outside the room. The tech is whistling softly as yous ee the tracing program work....you see three warehouses locally and a signal bouncing until ti settles in Hanover, Germany. [Language unknown: "venromthi pa ourel, erswhekor traovefor i it est." ]   A suit walks through the door. [Private to group English: "Everyone stop what you are doing.  The CIA is now taking over this case.  You never saw anything, you never heard anything. You will all disarm and go with our agents for debriefing.]  The tech taps a button and his program ends, the compute returning to it's home screen as he stands up.

Make an intelligence check...1D20 vs your IQ score on the ME table as a bonus.  With your teams guns all trained on them, the man moves very slowly and provides CIA credentials. "Like I said, disarm yourselves and proceed outside with my team so we can take you in for debriefing."
[Private to Kai Roberts: Waiting on your roll before I proceed on]

When the power faded, so did the knowledge of the language and Kai is unable to recall it.  As the agent pulls out his badge your com crackles to life with a voice that sounds ominous (Sounds like Optimus prime).  In the background you can hear chatter that sounds like a CIC or command post. The authorization code given is your most current bug out code.  [Language unknown: "Stri'econ, seomta, reofairehina Haneee, al thoil unit'saesli, iveounersing u fowail, hisiouint nceundbuthas ch ndebleted. Unet olaino remeashi."] your wrist computer opens up with a "Top Secret, Sigma 9--Section 47 eyes only" (Above top secret) listing but it opens up for you.  It's a dossier and pulls up several photos. First a debrief of the creature in custody, and photos of known P.A.A double agent operatives.  While not the guy you are talking to, three of the others in his contingent are...if this intel is legit. You are pretty sure none of your team heard any of that because none of them reacted.

Kai nods and walks right past the CIA AGENT..   He pops onto his secure line  and tells his boys to pick up anything that will fit in their packs,  and bug out, past all the agents and regrouping with the NCIS, and bouncing out, anyone who tries to stop them take em down..

Guns still on the CIA agents, Kai and his begin their extraction.  Motioning for the NCIS agent to gather up his things, Kai eyes the CIA suit and his team slowly begin to move out.  Taking the Queue, Agent Garret motions for his team to exit as well.  The CIA agent motions for his people to stand down, clearly outgunned, they would not win a firefight. [Language unknown: "Urbeul is nti erssa pepe teomansend"] he bellows as your team extracts the building and loads up in to your vehicles.

After they break away.. Kai and his team roll out, they get back to his superiors just like he was supposed to, and has the boys  unbag all the intel  he lets his guys know he will take all the heat for this, but there is no way he was going to let them take the loss for the mission that just went all kinds of south of good.. he sits outside the Admiral's office at the crack of dawn the next day, ready to resign  before taking his troops down with him for following his call..
