Only reason I haven't posted is because it would be out of character for McThing to be the first to react/ put a plan forwards.

Island in a Sea of Death

Apologies for my inactivity as of late, but I'm ready to get things moving again.

Marcus nodded, "I'll take the right side then." He said as he griped his axe. Marcus took a deep breath and walked over to the first door on the right side. He peered through the small glass window on the it and saw nothing. He grabbed to handle and rapidly blinked his eyes. "Here goes nothing." He said before he opened the door.

He was greeted by an empty classroom, lit only by the sunlight streaming in through the smallish windows. The decor was perhaps a little spartan, but there was nothing more dangerous in here than a thin layer of dust gathering on the surface of the desks and uncomfortably warm air. A similar sight greeted Sam on the other side of the hall. The small noise didn't seem to attract any attention from elsewhere in the Bass Building.

Two rooms down.

Taking the main road leading into town, Captain Ishida Hisashi was making a beeline for the closest infantry icon on his computer. There was still a distance to go, so he decided to do a radio test. Pressing the transmit button on his digital walkie talkie, he spoke into the mic on his headset, "This is Captain Ishida Hisashi of 2nd Kyonshikirapeitai 3rd Company, UN US Mission, to Roy of... Civilian Group 1-Alpha, second radio check, over." He released the transmit button and waited. If there was a time when he did well in the local language, it was in radio discipline. The utilitarian sparsity of the language ensured that what he spoke sounded like good English.

"This is 1-Alpha, receiving you loud and clear. Best of luck down there." Roy had a passing familiarity with radio protocol- back in the Nineties, when he was still working a corner, he had had the bright idea of getting himself a police scanner and headphones. He just looked like another young man with a Walkman, but in reality he was listening intently to see if any KCPD cars were en route to his position to make a few arrests. It hadn't always worked, of course, but more than once he had managed to quietly shuffle off before any black and whites had arrived. Back in the day.

"Alright, fellas, let's get moving," Roy said as he jumped into the truck's driver seat and turned the keys. Enough wasted time, they had best head into town.

The roads were pitted, not very well maintained- Nathanson was a poor town in a poor county. They passed by Rutland Park, green and forested, standing out among the blonde of summer wheat and dead grass stretching far to the horizon all around, and then the four men were in the town of Nathanson.

In what was surely a godsend to students at the college, the Wal-Mart was scarcely a mile and a half away, just right on the other side of Rutland Park. Roy slowly pulled the pickup to a halt on the access road, taking a careful look at the massive structure. It stood in the middle of a huge parking lot. There seeming to be fifteen or so shambling figures milling around the parking lot, all widely spread out. Roy turned back to look at his passengers. "What do you gentlemen think? Go for the front doors?"

These things happen. Looking forward to this!

EDIT: Holy shit, our job is to assassinate a head of state? Of a nuclear power, no less?

Island in a Sea of Death

I think the best thing to do for the action sequences like this is to slip into the time-honored formula where you guys tell me what you'd like to do, and I'll describe to you what happens and what you're seeing.

Should've posted this earlier, but here's a photo of the campus on which Nathanson is based.





And a couple photos of the town itself, just to give you guys an idea of what you're driving into.

The Town

Island in a Sea of Death

No problem. What's the tattoo, if you don't mind my asking?

Island in a Sea of Death

Well, we started out having a meeting on the next course of action, but it seems to have broken up for the most part. Everyone seems to be falling into roughly three tasks- one (pretty much full) group is raiding the local superstore for useful supplies, one is conducting a mop-up operation on the campus, and a third is doing a recon for Japanese soldiers who got separated from the main group.

None of these missions have started yet, so you'd be free to join one of these crews- presumably DuPont missed the meeting for some reason or simply chose not to attend.

Again, welcome aboard, just let me know if you have any questions I can help you out with.

Island in a Sea of Death

DuPont looks good to me. You're right when you say she's literally out of her element, though her skills should still come in handy.

Island in a Sea of Death

To the character section, please. I'd love to have you!

Island in a Sea of Death

Alright, let me try out this duty roster thing. This lets us know who's doing what (good for collab posts) and which jobs need more hands.

As you guys can see, we definitely need more manpower for the campus sweep.
