*Nimbus raises her eyebrows and snickers quietly*
Nimbus: Just stay out of trouble, kiddo.
Gil: Easy, now, we're all in this together.
Moss: Si, if we want to succeed tonight we'll have to stay as friendly as we can.
*gil turns to you*
Gil: Okay, you gonna be alright with that?
Nimbus: Just stay out of trouble, kiddo.
Gil: Easy, now, we're all in this together.
Moss: Si, if we want to succeed tonight we'll have to stay as friendly as we can.
*gil turns to you*
Gil: Okay, you gonna be alright with that?
Moss: Here, you can be too careful, Dreyfus.
Gil: *Snickers* Sorry, couldn't resist it. Basically, we're gonna get inside this Reptilian Armoured Vehicle Compound. Once we're inside, we need to make our way to the production area and find the plans for this:
*Holds up a grainy photo of a large tank with three barrels, one main one and two side ones linked up to a large tank of blue liquid*
Nimbus: It's a plasma tank. It fires electrified plasma which can turn a sky scraper into a pile of something that resembles butter. they haven't made the fully functioning one yet, but productions due to start this week.
Moss: We need to get those plans, and either destroy them or keep them for ourselves, time permitting obviously.
Gil: You think you can help us out here?

Gil: You think you can help us out here?
Hmm, I think so. You guys prefer the thing destroyed or nicked? I got demolition C4 charges and I've driven a Tank before. If the controls are basically the same we can make off with it. I can definitely help you guys fight guards. If you prefer a more quiet, covert assault I got this *PSS silent pistol and a P90 SD*
Moss: My rebels will be fine at the full frontal approach. We won't be able to get out with the tank without a fight either way, so it's best to have the boys causing a diversion. You can sneek in the back way and get the tank wit Gil and Nimbus while the guards are occupied with us, or you can join us in the all guts and glory approach.
Nimbus: Your more than likely gonna die doing that, though. *Snickers*
Nimbus: Your more than likely gonna die doing that, though. *Snickers*
Moss: If you feel this is the best thing for you to do, then yes. But try to get the thing out of there if it's possible, it would be even better if we got it to work for us.
*Gil chuckles happily and Nimbus shakes her head, smiling*
Nimbus: Sure would be a nice break from the usual shit we have to do. Alright kid, come on. Follow me and Gil, and Keep up for god's sake.
*She turns and sprints off, as Gil signals to you to follow and runs after her.*

*They lead you out into the main street and then slow down as they cross the road, keeping away from the Squaddies on the corner of the street until you reach a dark alleyway*
Nimbus: We've set up a checkpoint on this rooftop, it's got a sleeping area so we can hold out here tonight.
*Beckons to gil and the two of them tic-tac (wall jump to wall jump) onto a fire escape and start to ascend*
Gil: C'mon, kid! Keep up!
Nimbus: We've set up a checkpoint on this rooftop, it's got a sleeping area so we can hold out here tonight.
*Beckons to gil and the two of them tic-tac (wall jump to wall jump) onto a fire escape and start to ascend*
Gil: C'mon, kid! Keep up!
Zear: Uh oh...uhhh, hang on *takes a deep breath, tries to psyche myself* ok, here I go *jumps at the wall and immediately jumps off it for the next one, successfully wall-wall jumping* Wow, I did it. That's the first time I've been able to do that without falling. *follows Gil and NImbus to the rooftop*
Gil: You seriously haven't done that successfully before?
Zear: No, usually I screw up, thankfully I didn't
Nimbus: *puts her hand on my shoulder* You're gonna have to do a lot more of that as long as you're here
Zear: Yeah...*takes out a book from a pocket on the inside of my shirt*
Gil: Hey, where'd you get that? Those are really hard to come by. *holds the book and reads the title* "1984" by George Orwell
Zear: Yeah, it's a really good book. I actually got this from my homeland, it's one of the few of my possessions I managed to save before they came and ravaged my country with nukes and I had to flee. It's kind of fitting, actually

Nimbus: We already know what we're doing. You don't need to worry about a thing, just do as we do.
Gil: Seriously, it'll probably be best. You don't know the streets the way we do... from the skies.
*Nimbus - who was previously sitting, perched on the edge of the rooftop - stands and peers over the edge.*
Nimbus: We'd best be getting a move on. Zear, this is what we're gonna do:
Gil: First off we're gonna leap from this rooftop to that one, so we have a flatter surface to move along - less chance of falling off. Now, the roof we're jumping to is of an unsafe distance from this one to land normally - you'll end up twisting something, then you'll be no good to anyone. So your gonna have to land, feet together, then perform a roll with the same momentum. Got that?
*Nimbus doesn't wait and takes a run up, then flings herself off the roof and onto the target roof, performing a perfect breakroll*

Nimbus: It used to be beautiful... you could do what you wanted when you wanted, there was almost no crime...
Gil: It was always sunny too. Now these scaly - *Slides under an air duct pipe and rolls back to his feet* - bastards have taken over, it's all changed...
*Nimbus breaks from the group and leaps onto a nearby fire escape, climbing up it to the top*
Zear: Should we follow her?
Gil: Nah, she's checking if there's anything up ahead. Whoop, big jump comin' up...

*The two of you watch as Nimbus balances herself on the railing at the top. After signalling to you that the way is clear, she steadily gets to her feet and flips from the escape and falls a small distance, before catching onto the pole of a Reptillian flag and swinging herself with the momentum of the fall back onto the rooftop you and Gil are on.*
Nimbus: *Panting* Only... way to travel...
Gil: What did i tell ya, Z?
Nimbus: *Panting* Only... way to travel...
Gil: What did i tell ya, Z?
Gil: Nimbus is the expert, I was just a delivery boy! She taught me how to incorporate hand to hand and weapon based combat into my parkour, and then taught me some of the more intermediate stuff. I only knew how to do basic jumps, grabs and vaults before, now I'm a regular David Belle!
*Nimbus glances at him and Gil gradually recedes*
Gil: Okay, not that good. But hey, I can stay alive in this city.
Nimbus: We've got some time to spare before we hit the base. You wanna learn some stuff, kid?

Nimbus: You kiddin?! I love it! And there's no better training ground than Amazokidia's rooftops. Alright, watch this:
*She turns and sprints, Kong vaulting over an airduct pipe (Both hands on the obstacle like a monkey's jump) and then rolling sideways under another, springing back onto her feet and kicking off the wall of the adjacent building and landing on her tiptoes near you again*
Nimbus: Pretty basic, but it's all you need to know - Momentum is key.
Gil: Don't worry, kiddo. She got me up to standard in a few days - *Nimbus glares at him* - Okay, a week and a half... Dammit, Girl can't you see i was trying to help him calm down?

Nimbus: Get into the mindset. If you don't think you can do it, Don't do it. There are always alternative ways around or over, or sometimes through an obstacle, finding the most direct and energy efficient is the difficult part.
Take the kong vault: Get a run up, place both your hands on the object then jump, using the arms as leverage over the obstacle but without putting any pressure on them. Your momentum should carry you over the obstacle and - as long as you jump well enough - you shouldn't faceplant.

Gil: That there's the Testing area for any new vehicles the Reptillians have made. It used to be a racetrack, but when Hougnes rolled into town...
Nimbus: The factory's that big grey building over there *Points*. We should be able to sneak in via the rooftop and work our way down...

Zear: This is just scouting, right? I didn't bring my PKM with me....and holy mackeral that thing's huge
Gil: It is, that used to be a Hospital...then it was was demolished and that factory replaced it..while everyone was still inside...
Zear: *is shocked* Dear god...I'm loading up with incendiaries...the bastards...

Nimbus: If you feel the need to hide behind a gun. To be honest, some of the Reptillian troops were drafted so fast back in their homeland they didn't have time to receive proper training, so most of em probably wont even try to hit you.
Gil: Sneaky sneaky, stealy stealy, runny runny! Thats how we roll.
Gil: Sneaky sneaky, stealy stealy, runny runny! Thats how we roll.
Zear: Oh really? They're not that heavily armed in the building? Huh, I was expecting our assault was going to have to be Metal Gear Solid-style, where we'd have to sneak around, and if we get caught we'd have to gun down scores of armed troops. OK, I'll just being my PSS for JIC, you know "Just In Case."
Gil: You played way too many video games in your homeland, I'm guessing *sniggers*
Nimbus: Cut him some slack, Gil. Most people would assume they'd heavily arm and guard the place.

*You make your way to the side of the compound and lower yourselves ot the street, where Moss meets you again*
Moss: You made it. Bueno, now we can start. My boys are going to attack as soon as you radio in that you are inside the compound. *Hands you the radio* Don't break it or lose it. The rebel's resources are spread as far as they can go anyway...

Zear: Alright, thanks Moss. I'll take care of it
Gil: Ok, how do we get in?
*as zear's talking Nimbus walks off a bit*
Zear: Well, I did see an air vent on top of the roof. We could break into it, and climb down the vents. We'll have to peform some clever acrobatics to get up there, I can see the flagpoles and a ledge up there, but we'll have to keep a low profile so no-one sees us via the window. After that I can see there's some holes in the concrete from bullet hits or something, maybe they can serve as as hand or foo-
Nimbus: Or we could enter via the side door *points to a side door that looks rarely used and is clearly unguarded*
Gil: Ok, how do we get in?

Zear: Sweet Idea. OK, let's get up
*three of us climb the stairs up to the very top, where it opens up to an overhead catwalk, above what seems to be an R&D centre with scores of engineers and scientists working with computers, testing equipment, and prototypes of various weapons*
Gil: Whoa, jackpot. Chingchingchingching.

Gil: Whoa, jackpot. Chingchingchingching.
Gil: Alright, but how do we know what each does?
Nimbus: Just observe the testing range over there and what ea-Ooooh, I want that shuriken gun
Zear: Still we're gonna need to find a way to get those weapons without any of us being seen by scores of scie-*a bell is heard and all the scientists put down what they're doing, hang up their coats and apparently break for lunch, leaving the entire laboratory empty and turning off the lights*-ntists...yeah.
Gil: This all seems too easy. Something doesn't add up. Why aren't there any guards in one of the labs at an R&D centre?

*the three of us get down by some very conveniently-stacked boxes and containers*
Zear: I know, it just seems all too easy
Nimbus: Oh well, take what you can boys, I don't like this
Gil: Well, I know I'm loving this man-portable railgun! *picks it up* And it's not that heavy
Zear: I'm taking this fully automatic shotgun, this will come in handy in crowd situations *grabs it*
Nimbus: As for me, this electro-whip will be quite nice *grabs it*
*suddenly alarm bells ring and from the main entrance a lizard squad of 30 lizards burst in*
THERE THEY ARE!
