New Manhattan Thread 12

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 9:23 am

OOC: Might be some time confusion with the post, but I’m sure it’s easy enough to work out.

Adams mumbled to himself as he made his way back to the Executive Longue – the frustration clearly evident on his flushed face. He approached Major Kong, who stood up to attention.

“At ease, Major,” said Adams, who gestured for Kong to take a seat. “Well, after Mieux’s sudden outburst of schizophrenic rage, I don’t think we’ll be dealing with him for a while. Fool, he has the gall to call us from our home, only to scream and shout when confronted with a contrasting opinion. Sad, really; he used to come across as so smooth, so composed. I think the pressure’s getting to him, Major – digging into him, little by little, until he cracks. The President’s right, I’ll be honest; Justin Mieux is indeed on his last legs, gasping for breath. I’d even be so bold as to say he’s of significantly less value to us. He’s definitely unstable if nothing else. Still, I suggest we say; he didn’t explicitly tell us to leave the premises.”

Adams paused and looked up at the time on the dusty clock. “All right, as you’re effectively running this operation and you have direct contact to the President, I suggest you update him on what I’ve just reported. Now, that is. Perhaps later, when Mieux’s calmed down, I’ll consider resuming talks. Until then, I need to relax.”

Exhaling, Adams leaned back on his chair, and began idly chatting to Haywood, who had recently been relieved of his duty.

OOC: Not sure about how you feel about me controlling Kong, Adam, but you seem busy enough with Sutler and IRL matters, so I’d thought slight CC could lighten your load.

OOC: Doh, didn't see your post there, Alex. Writing on Word will do that. :P

In answer to your question, Adams doesn't hate Alex out right, though certainly feels discontent towards him for his vat dipping. Secretly, he admires what Alex has achieved, even if said achievement consists of notable debauchery.

OOC: Thanks for clearing that up :)

Alexander Scalatti

Alex had never waited for Meiux lately, and Alex hated waiting. Ever since he was a kid, he wanted everything done the second he wanted it, and that is why he became a successful buisnessman. He never tolerated going over budget or over time.

"Ann, how long do you think we'll wait?" Alex asked, trying to become less bored.

Ann shrugged, "I don't know, maybe an hour?"

Then, John put down his book and walked silently and whispered into Alex's ear while pointing to Colonel Adams. "I know he's here John, don't attract any attention."

OOC: First, let me say that it's hard to keep up with the OOC thread since I can't find it. lol <-- HANDS UP!
But also, I'm going to be on haitus for the next...few months, at least up until Summer Break. It seems I'm no longer the main character so I can finally do this. I will be active on the forums, but standardized testing is coming up and I need to manage my own RP so yeah...I'm going to be on haitus, just roleplay my character is somewhere.

Kong listened to the Colonel; "yes sir. I could hear from out here partly what it was that he was saying. Mightent you I've never really expected much else from wastelanders, though from what I hear he had quite a set up before this place. I will radio the President and inform him of goings on here sir; oh we've got your private quarters and the majority of the main setup done sir, not much when compared to your fancy apartment, just a bed, a few screens and a standing and foot locker, some books too from the President." Kong saluted the Colonel and left the room, noticing as he left, a pair of wastelanders walk in; Kong snorted and pushed past them.

"Major Kong here, I need to speak to the President. Thank you. Mr President sir?"

Sutler lazily reached for the receiver on his desk. "Sutler here."

"Mr President sir, routine progress report from Mieux's Tower. Colonel Adams had a meeting with him not long after he arrived; he left not to long later and I heard Mieux shouting at him sir, seems that they did have something of a disagreement, though over what I'm afraid I cannot be more certain sir. Adams said that you were right too sir, said that Mieux was indeed on his 'last legs' and that he was 'of significantly less value' though he said he would try and talk to him again when they had both had time to relax."

Sutler almost laughed out loud, however he steadied himself; he always endevoured to be the professional. "Well it seems that Adams has succeeded in creating the first diplomatic incident in over 200 years, I would never have expected it of him of all people. Well tell him to keep fighting the fight; be seeing you Major, keep me informed of what happens when Adams meets Mieux again."

OOC: This MIGHT be my last post for the day. I'm getting tired, which usually means I'll either start posting rudely blunt things in the other forums, or nonsensical story parts here :laugh:

Mieux was lying his head in his hands at his desk, his curtains drawn, the only lights in the room emitted from his desk lamp and the glittering lights of the massive mainframe behind him. He was two bottles down in scotch, mumbling deeply in guilt that didnt fall on anyone. A rap on the door stirred him, "What?" He shouted in a worn tone. Colonel Graye shouted slowly into the door, Mieux being on the end of a far room. "Sir, Mr. Scalatti and his wife are here, as well as a stranger." Mieux shouted back, "Fairfield." Without waiting for Graye to respond, Mieux flicked a switch that unlocked his doors. Colonel Graye marched down the hall, Mr.Fairfield, Mr. and Mrs. Scalatti, Mr. Mieux will see you now." He escorted them to the door. The look on his face indicated graveness, that this was not a light situation. As he opened the door for the three, Mieux's voice across the large room said gently, "Sit, would you kindly." Mieux wasn't drunk, but he was very silent, his head never erupting from his arms on his desk. In his head, Mieux couldnt think clearly, the only thought on his mind was the loss of one of his most prized employees. The sorrowful pain in every word he spoke was evident.

Leon "Eclipse" Graves - Port Neptune - Graves' Spire

After spending several hours blankly staring at reports about various goings on in Port Neptune Leon changed into a suit and went down to his office. Sitting at his desk he tried contacting Alex via his terminal but was unable to establish a connection. Slightly annoyed at having been continually brushed off Leon turned on his ham radio only to discover an encrypted looping message being sent.

"Mr. Graves, this is Mr. Utopia, Mr. Mieux's systems manager. I've been given orders to ask that you come and meet Mr. Mieux at Chryslus Tower on the southern end of Manhattan Island, if you come at night, it'll be the tallest building, and the only one with lights on the rooftop level of the building. Mieux wishes to extend a generous offer to you Mr. Graves. Please come immediately. Also, be sure to bring a large contingent of men."

Shutting off the radio Leon sat back in his chair deep in thought. So Mieux has finally returned. Instinct is telling me I should go but with our last meeting ending with his departure I'm loathe to visit him. Our deal has all but fallen through on the other hand he did relinquish those vertibird plans, and two suits of power armor albeit they were nonfunctional. I suppose I will visit if only to tell him about my new project.

Leon promptly activated his intercom. "I am ordering that "Annabelle" be seaworthy within the hour. Secondly have a company of men waiting for me at the docks at once. Finally find John Holmes and inform him that he is again the acting head of Port Neptune."

Leon then released the intercom without waiting for a response. Returning to his room he packed a suitcase with two changes of clothes and a proposal for The Core. Heading out the door he collected a bowler hat from his hat rack. Twenty minutes later Leon stood at the docks briefcase in hand looking over Annabelle one of the finest frigates in the Sun Armada. Standing in front of the ship were ninety armed Black Suns who waited for Leon's orders.

"All aboard.", Leon called as he strode up the ramp of the ship.

The contingent of men followed suit and began preparing to disembark from Port Neptune. An hour later and the Annabelle was at sea.

"Sit, would you kindly."

Alex raised out his hand, but noticed the sadness Meiux was in. He never looked like this before. He looked beaten, sadden, and something was clearly burdening him to the extreme. Alex sat down, and both Ann and John followed suit.

"Mr. Meiux, you don't look very good, is this a bad time?" Alex asked as he took of his fedora and placed it on the side of the chair.

Mieux, not lifting his head, simply said softly, "Andrew died. The ghoul mechanic I hired in Arcadia. To much purging to quickly." The colonel stepped forward to explain what Mieux was to broken to do. "Er, Mr. Scalatti, Mieux was testing his possible 'Ghoul Cure', but the problem, as Mieux warned Andrew and I both, is possible death, Andrew chose to stay in with the tests. At first we thought it successful, then something happened, we're still awaiting the Auto-Docs autopsy scan reports, but whatever it was sent him into a mixture of seizures and fierce heart rate increases. All in all, it was a terrible incident, and Mr. Mieux took it hard. We're standing next to him, but he's only half listening to the world around him right now. I told him we should keep trying, but he's to afraid to kill any more ghouls. His condition was unique, but a Ghoul is terribly mutated genetically. There's alot of complications involved. Mieux gave mumble that was indecipherable from his hands.

Alex's eyes widened when the tale was done. "A ghoul cure? That seems impossible. I'm sorry for your loss Justin Meiux, but it seems impossible. You might be able to stop the ghoulification, but not curing them."

John wiped his forehead and put his bowler hat back on his head. "I don't know, even if you clean out the internal organs, you would need new skin."

Empire Radio

"Hello New Manhattan, we have breaking news, so we have a reporter on the scene. Johnny, hows it going?"

"Fine, just [censored] fine!"

"Sorry New Manhattan, I forgot to tell you whats going on! The Lake Federation has just begun a full scale assault on New Laketon, or Crosby Town as the rebels call it."

"Thats right, I am on the scene as the forces begin the assault."

"ADVANCE!"

"Johnny, what was that?"

"Oh, the forces just begun to advance, the rebel defenses have been shelled hard, the general predicts that the city will be "cleansed" in less than a day."

"Are the rebels fighting back?"

"Yup, in fact the machine guns have just begun to fire."

"What are the numbers?"

"Ah, maybe around 1500 rebel militia from the metropolitan area, and around 5000 Lake Federation soldiers."

The whole Great Wall and building period was to make Antium impenetrable. But perhaps in the future, I'll make a newer...less overpowered character now that I have some RP experience built up. In fact I know so...so when William and the others flee, feel free to burn Antium to the ground.

Sutler had sprinted all of the way down to the Command Center from his office on the floor above, momentarily annoyed after he had dropped his cigarette on the way down. Lieutenant Locklear was already stood up with the receiver in hand; he saluted and then handed it to Sutler, who lifted it to his ear and stood, hand on hip, a happy man.

"Mr President sir?" Came a gruff voice from the receiver.

Sutler smiled to himself, "Major Granite you may speak freely and at ease; it's good to hear from you again old friend."

"Sutler, I'll keep this as brief as I can as after several months in tents and on constant alert we here are all very tired and desperate for a good wash and a comfortable bed. We've all split up into the pre-arranged rendevous positions as per your security briefing."

"It's alright Granite, of course I know only too well what you have gone through, perhaps even more so. I need you here and well rested as soon as possible for a Cabinet Meeting which I will need to appear at. Prepare for extraction Major, you'll be safe and sound underground within the next few hours, you all will."

"Thank you Mr President, Sutler, sir."

Sutler ordered Locklear to contact Adams.

"Colonel Adams, this is President Sutler; it is with great pleasure that I must inform you that the Chicago boys are here and are awaiting extraction. I need you to prepare for extraction, though of course it will not be for a few hours, Major Kong will remain behind and oversee the operation at Mieux's Tower whilst you return and prepare for an important meeting of the US Cabinet. Over."

Adams grinned joyfully as Sutler informed him of welcome news. Reinforcements? Excellent, we can finally establish the Enclave as a true force. Hopefully the Chicago boys have still got some spirit – it’s a damn long trek.

Sitting up on the soft sofa, Adams spoke into his radio. “All right, copy, Mr. President. Wilco ASAP. Over and out.” Adams clipped the radio to his belt and addressed Haywood, who was slouching on the couch opposite.

“Our work here is done, First Lieutenant. Order the rest of the men to assemble on the helipad outside, and radio ‘596 for our extraction.” Haywood nodded and obeyed. Content, Adams patted Kong on the shoulder and informed him of the current situation.

“Major, you’re to stay here and continue overseeing the operation. You know the drill; report any findings to HQ, etcetera, etcetera. I’m sure the President’ll update you with your orders.”

With that, Adams saluted Kong and strode off into the New Manhattan crumbling streets and make his way to the helipad, the gentle breeze fluttering his trench coat. The ever-efficient ‘596 arrived little time after. Holding his cap onto his head and shielding his eyes from the detritus being thrown about the air, Adams boarded the vertibird. Soon enough, Autumn Squad clambered up the metallic steps, barging for the best seat.

Adams was first to step out into the chilly hanger. Wading through the army of technicians fuelling up the vertibird, Adams checked the Bunker until finding Sutler in the Command Center.

“Mr. President,” he said with a salute. “No doubt Major Kong will have updated you of our progress with Mieux, or lack of in this case. That bastard thinks we’re in the palm of his hands. How very wrong he is; the man looks tired and strained by his lack of, well, anything. There’s nothing to fear from him.
“Anyway,” Adams clapped his hands together, “you mentioned a Cabinet meeting? Let’s get it over with, I say. We both know how this’ll turn out.”

OOC: I thought there was going to be a private meeting without Adams? Change of plans? :P

James watches as the verti bird flies overhead and it takes him back for a bit after reminiscing over the past for a second he continues to make his way through some rubble encountering a few thugs here and there dispatching them easily leaving only green piles of goo behind he, after trekking for a bit decides to give up helping the civilians he thought were in trouble unless he actually heard what was wrong with them he had decided not to risk anything based off of assumptions
