Lash and Tapper look at Each Other with a look of cockiness mixed with fear. "Well we could wing suit in," tapper says sitting on his bed.
Lash speaks next "we don't know what would happen at that point. Why did someone have to sell a dragon to this guy," he says slamming a fist down on the holo table. Tapper looks up at Lash with an idea in his eye. "So lash how much do you think you sell for," he says eyeing lash sideways. Lash sighs "there are times where I really hate you."

"Hey, LT, whatcha doing?" "Just finishing some tweaks to the amphibious system." Lily's voice came muffled from under the dashboard. Backing out of the Mako, she opened the garage door and climbed into the driver's seat. "One last test drive." Hitting the throttle as the doors closed, she threw up a portal a few yards ahead. "LT what are you..."? The tech's voice carried a hint of panic as she disappeared into another realm. "Bye!" Was the last they heard from her.
The portal opened at roof level and the Mako launched out of it. Activating thrusters, it bounced gently to a stop.

The ships red lights come on as alarms start going off. Tapper tosses lash a viper while picking up his cobra before pushing a button on the exit ramp. The two soldier dismount in swift tactical movements. Stopping Lash groans "how did that get here." he brings his radio up "command we may have a stray mako from realm B-8 I'm gonna attempt contact." disengaging the radio he tell tapper to sync in with the makos speakers. Tapper speak after syncing "attention mako driver this is TDDF we are gonna ask you to disembark you vehicle slowly."

"TDDF, Lieutenant Lily Bressler, SPECial Tactics and REcon. Thanks for the less than deadly welcome. Stand back, please. This vehicle is non-standard."
Once they backed up sufficiently, she opened the door and swung out, a hint of blue revealing she used biotics to stabilize her landing.
Then they had to wait a few seconds for the bubble shield to disperse.

Lash waits as the bubble shield drops before speaking again "how did you get here if I may ask. This place is not exactly the safest." he seems genuinely curious. He motions for lily to join them on the ship.
Tapper is already up the cargo ramp readying for the mission ahead. He brings up the map of the defenses on the holo table while checking his ammo stocks. He casually shouts to Lash "we may have to take the option I suggested. My ammo is not the best right now for a long term engagement." he holds up a sting placing it on the counter he starts looking at the screen in deep thought.
Tesimi meanwhile was back in her room. She sat on the bed "what would echo 16 do to reach me. I am just a criminal I mean having my memory wipes doesn't sound fun." she starts looking about the room for stuff to arm herself with.

As she entered, she removed her helmet, revealing the water dragon tattoo that currently rested on her cheek. "I portaled in from Mass Effect. Spent almost a hundred years gathering tech from all 4 games to make the perfect arsenal. Need any help?"

Tapper seems to think for a moment before showing the Holo tables diagram. He sighs "so we have to get into the penthouse to retrieve an earth dragon. Problem is we don't have any easy way in. First I thought a air drop might work but we have a 50/50 shot of people seeing us. So I got an idea to get Lash in. You see this dragon they took well she is a kitsune and Lash is a Gumiho. He is built to be more alluring compared to her. So I was thinking that if I sell him in then he can grab her and we can get him out...somehow."
Lash sets a gun on his bed "yes we could sell me in. I don't mind that idea but if they chip me we both are screwed. TDDF wouldn't let me leave with a chip in my head they would rather leave me." he lays back on the bed "we are open to any suggestions you have."

She spends a minute looking over the intel. "Old. That's good. You can go in through the sewers." She zoomed the image to show the outlet pipes. They would be exposed at low tide, which, was fast approaching. "You have some fast movers capable of high-altitude flight. I'll piggy back one of them, air drop over the building." As she spoke she spun the image back to the tower. "Man hole right outside what I assume is a smoker door, so no security. From there you can take an elevator up, unless you think you can climb five thousand feet straight up."

Lash nods sitting up "I like it, but what fast mover catches your eye. I can think of three craft capable of pulling that kind of insertion off." as he speaks he starts getting ready. He holsters 2 TDDF stings with silencers at the from of his uniform. A clacker goes at his right hip inside a maglock holster. A Valiant is bolstered on the other side. Finally he slips a scorpion fighting dagger in his boot and clips one to his tail. The fur hides the pure black dagger easily. With a final chuckle he picks up a Viper and straps it on. Then he starts collecting ammo and slipping it into various pouches. At last he slides the cyber gauntlet on over his arm the claws at the end seem very sharp.
Tapper smiles before speaking "I know which one she wants." he activates his com link "baseplate we need a slicer you got any available." he then equips himself with his items a Cobra for close up, for distance and overwatch he grabs a predator precision rifle. Finally he grabs a Viper. The scorpion is sheathed up on his chest and behind him at the hip. He slides on a bulky backpack.
Outside a Slicer lands the craft is brand new fresh off the line. Duel Vulcan guns and a set of chain guns make this plane terrifying. A door at the bottom indicates a full missile armament. A luscious corp ammo replicator is attached to the Vulcans. Tapper speaks again "alright reach out with any psionics you may have and the plane will complete the handshake. Take care of the plane as it is apart of you while linked this will allow you to pull some crazy maneuvers in the air."

She touched the craft. "One moment. Establishing contact," SAM came over her link. "Done."
"Access Mako. Harass and Distract."
The Mako started up and drove away to plunge into the salt marsh.
"Extraction." As she gave the order, she typed something into her omnitool. An assault turret fabricated in shutdown state. She handed it to the men. "Manual startup, 10 second delay. When you get into the street, throw it as far as you can."

The plane sets itself to the Extraction Kit and starts up ready to take off.
Tapper takes the turret with a nod. The two soldiers board the AAV and make for the sewer systems. The have the Slicer connect Lilly to the coms they are using. "Alright so we will insert through the sewers. Would you rather insert before or after us." tapper asks calmly looking out the window of the AAV. With a smirk Lash turns to Tapper "so I hear Echo has made the same bet as Bravo. They are trying to determine wether I was female or male first." Tapper chuckles "pretty much I figure I will let them figure it out." he seems to think a moment "what about you Lilly you have a guess."

"Female. I'll move after you get into the sewers."
The salt marsh borders the city from the SW to the SE. The sewer outlets are on the North side, emptying into the Mediterranean. By the time they arrive, the tide will be above the pipes again.
And then there's the Leviathan.

Lash hits buttons on the dash board of the AAV. "Command we need to portals one bringing us from the realm and then another landing us by the pipes." Baseplate opens a two portals and the AAV drives through one landing in the hanger of dead station. Dismounting they star towards the other portal drawing weapons meant for close quarters. Lash was second through drawing a valient and a clacker. Tapper draws a cobra as he gets to the other side. Landing inside the sewer pipes they scan for targets before moving.

There is a current of perfectly clean water running down the center of the pipe, pouring out the opening into the ocean. After several yards, they learn why, as they come across something that looks like a cross between a mangrove tree and Harold from Fallout 3. The major difference was the fruit that seemed about ready to break it in half from the weight. "I don't suppose your hungry?" it asked slowly. "I haven't been picked in ages." As if on cue, one of the melon-sized fruit plopped into the stream. As it floated past, they could smell... sour cream and onion, with a hint of bacon.

Lash looks at Tapper "I don't trust this. I have ran into way to many traps." he seems to settle back watching the tree closely. He looks to tapper a deep hunger in his eyes.
Tapper makes a mental note to let Lash have night out on Dead realm station. He looks to the tree "sure ill have a fruit." he walks up and pick one of the fruits.
Lash tries to stop him but he is quite fast. Lash gets on the data pad and snaps off a message to the alpha 1 that the med bay may be needed soon.
