Midnight Shopping

Alice sat in a loader truck as she waited for the newbie to finish scouting the area for himself. "My recommendation get it booted up but only long enough to put into the truck." They were here for a mech but if they booted it up and tried to drive it on out of here they probably would draw to much heat. Save that for when Kidd decided to use the mech on a different mission if it could be helped. The truck itself was reinforced and fit to help transport tanks and the likes. In addition to this however was a back up spell in the trailer, if the situation got dodgy it was possible they could climb in back and she could trigger a teleport spell. Dropping them to a safe hideout.

That though A re a uired getting the mech, and B things going poorly. Alice wasn't just going to burn up her limited spells for a day if she could help it.

As for Alice she was dressed like the guards. Though she also had a helmet and goggles on. Intended to fully conceal her face, going into the scene wasn't exactly something she wanted to do in her usual attire. While she was armed all the same the look of the Bullet Witch she would rather not be known as here. The only other addition was her AR, she had two magazines in addition to the one in the gun for a total of ninety potential rounds but more importantly these were rubber bullets imbued with a sleep spell like her pistol Catnap. On impact a small cloud formed that knocked most targets out like a light. Giving them an hour long nap, falling over could be harmful but typically this wasn't going to be lethal by any means.

"Try and get close, but not to much so. More pulling in from the right of the compound then up to something. I'll try and keep it as fast and silent as possible." Alice remarked tightening a silencer to the rifle as she spoke. Her plan being to take out guards as they approached and hopefully it would be executed well enough to not alarm anyone.

Getting out of the truck she stayed low to the ground. One would find it almost impossible to spot her among the rocks and grass, night vision if close and the finest snipers might of scene her though. By the time she was in range of the night vision though she'd be standing and joining the patrol. She stopped at the edge though of the perimeter to line up a shot. Guard in a tower was on look out, so she took aim. A soft pop went off as she put a slug into him. The guard slumping over as he fell asleep. With that the gunslinger looked to join the patrol.

Radio chatter should be full of talk of a approaching truck. Trying to discuss the shipment with Kidd. With any luck between the conversation and his abilities they wouldn't notice as Alice walked up on two more of the patrol.

Pop pop.

And with that the two men would fall over snoring happily instead of doing their jobs. The truck should be nearing the corner soon, between that and the turn she figured she could if things went well drop four more of the guards. However despite her disguise and magic, his technopafhy and planning they couldn't plan for everything. It was possible the forces had hired more help or supers. Or supers just were around for whatever their nosy reason might be. Maybe they had a super of their own, or that they could spot the issues in electronics. Or he'll maybe tonight a upstart criminal and veteran witch weren't the only one wanting to perform a mech heist.

The truck was in position, parked with the rest and easy to look past by the guards and with that Kidd joined her. She took out the guards on the way and made her way in. Assisted by Kidd's ttechnopathy this part had been easy soon though it wouldn't be. Twenty four eounds were left in the rifle she noted as she entered and waited for the employer to pick his course.

Thing was they couldn't just get the truck to pick up the mech, no way to quickey disguise this trailer as the one for such a high value product. To many things to clear and people to try and mimick. Same kind of truck she could do, clear to come here he could do. At some point though they would have to walk the mech to the truck. And unsurprisingly one couldn't just climb into a mech at their leisure. He'd need a distraction which was when the mission would get dicey. So before then Alice had to move, try and set herself up for what was likely to draw all the fire her way and maybe invite some of the damned heroes.

As Kidd moves to get into position Alice darts to one of the warehouses. The facility was four warehouses, mech dead center of them. Towards the back of the facility was barracks, towards the right was the building for offices and the kitchen. Site wasn't to large but it was remote so it needed some obvious provisions. To the left of the compound was the armory, a straight path there from almost anywhere on site. In short it was seven buildings, four towers and the best vantage point for her, was the front facing left warehouse. It was a foot taller than the other three and had best view of the armory.

As she entered the compound she undid a grappling hook and tossed it to the roof. She checked her three o clock, guard on the tower wasn't looking her way. Soft pop and he was sleeping now. This gave her time to climb up the warehouse onto the roof. Ducking behind a air vent she looked to the tower across the way. She'd shoot at that guard and then the one furthest from her. With that all higher ground was cleared with a mental note of down to twenty one rounds. "Shut off comms for ten seconds and plug your ears. You'll know when to go."

Alice turned off her own ear piece, two seconds in. Pulled a grenade free and yanked the pin, four seconds in. Wait three seconds to cook it and throw. at the apex of the arc the grenade would go off. At the height it wasn't going to injure anyone directly but it was about to make one hell of a wake up alarm.

KABOOM

The sound of thunder as if in a jet right next to it. The sound head ears ringing, those on comms fell over as ear pieces practically were blown out. Staff in barracks on top bunks fell with a startled thud. It wasn't lethal but most with comms in couldn't hear, or think or move. The drones in use would crash as the concussive force blasted their delicate systems out of the sky. Equilibrium was gone for many of the forces in the compound as well even for those who could shake off the migraine. Most in the barracks who fell would be fine but a few had broken bones and the fall would help the disorientation. She wanted them slowed down for the next move. See the witch didn't think this a mission she could use a good amount of her arsenal but she also didn't want the many guards getting there's. In the confusion it meant she could safely go for another grenade and chuck it before anyone was endangered by using it.

Small clatter sound went unheard as a grenade entered the armory. Not many would even see it but if they did, it would look a dud. Until suddenly a roar came from on high. A trail of fire tore through the clouds and suddenly!


KABOOM

A meteor fell on the barracks and exploded the building. Any salvageable weapons in that mess were to hot to handle. The detonation also tossed four guards a bit to close to it into walls. Minor burns or broken bones, they'd be fine but wouldn't be fighting. With that Alice turned her comes back on. "Get to work Kidd." As they turned on comms the duo would also hear the numerous calls going out trying to reach other military or government personnel. Calls to newstations to alert heroes, and some staff just wanted to bunker down and call families. Crap being scared out of them from what suddenly came there way. Others barked orders knowing someone had to be behind things

With that Alice began to snipe from her vantage point on the warehouse. Ammo dropping to fifteen as she looked to gun down the armed guards she could spot. Fewer guns fired at her or Kidd the better. And honestly I probably looked nightmarish as those targets dropped instantly. They were only a sleep however, a hour long sleep spell in the rubber bullet that hit them. Alice kind of found it amusing, it probably sounded and looked so dramatically worse than it was. On the downside though, heroes could probably be here to ruin her day in seconds.
