Scenario: Exponential Invasion (IC)

[ERode]

So the idea was to attack the transport then? Yu-Ri nodded at Ellen's explanation, agreeing with it if only for the sake of getting something done. Now, though, they had to find a vantage point to watch the battle from, hopefully without being spotted by the CDF's aircraft as they did so. Looked like Srade was ultimately rather useless outside of telling them what to do, but hey, whatever, at least the personified alien aircraft wasn't dropping bombs or anything like that.

Looking around the blocks and trying not to make eye contact with the CDF enforcers that poured out of yet another newly-arrived APC, the raven-haired girl blinked when she recognized a particular building. Vegas's Tower, was it? One of the places she frequented when her clients desired more clandestine locations. The girl closed her eyes for a bit, trying to recall the structure of the seedy building, before a small smile perked up in her features.

"Follow me. Look interested."

The top two floors were abandoned. The RFID scanners were in disrepair. No one in that building really wanted to interact with the CDF. And, most importantly, the CDF didn't give a fuck about what happened to those within the building.

Pushing open the glass doors, Yu-Ri strode through the area with the graceful confidence of someone who knew exactly where she stood: up on the highest floor. The elevators were notoriously unhygienic areas, and, after glancing over at a few familiar faces, she walked up the staircase, expecting the other three to follow. Once at the fourth floor, she spared a smile towards the camera and the manager of the illicit hotel, before the doors clicked open, allowing the four girls further in, to a different set of staircases that led up to the abandoned floors, which had been stealthily converted into a space reserved for all sorts of filming.

With gunshots and CDF swarming about just a block away though, no one was really horny, and Yu-Ri once again guided the girls upwards, onto the abandoned restaurant and its scenic 360 degree view of Central City.

"Here we go. Remi, if you want to transform and do your scanning thing, this is a good time."

"And we can't just risk it anyway? Guess we don't have much choice." Ellen started moving for the old arcade. Even if she couldn't just hang out on some of the floors, if there was a stairwell that ran the whole way up and down the building, which there should be just in case of evacuations, it wouldn't be too difficult to simply bypass any forbidden floors. The hard part might be getting in, but with all this confusion, unless it was under guard or actively being evacuated, that wouldn't be too difficult.

And following Yu-Ri, that seemed to be the case. She was too frustrated not to look imperious and possibly preoccupied the entire trip, but when it comes to blending in, she could do worse than being cold, aloof, and clearly aiming to get somewhere. Less likely to be stopped and questioned, even with the school uniform.

"It's probably worth it if we all do, just in case," she suggested. "Not sure we'll need to jump in immediately, but we can keep up on low power mode until we need to get out there." And, you know, people would be less likely to identify them.

Ellen stepped off to be a bit out of sight and away from the others, calling her cyberframe with a bit of concentration and a quietly spoken "entangle link." Then, she approached the windows to find the best vantage point for the battle in progress.
