"will do." He watched as Ganyma left, a feeling of apprehension at the task at hand. The situation seemed to dire, their bases were raised and destroyed so easily..they'd have to do something drastic at this rate. He kept his mood bottled simply going with the flow of things and hoping for the best. With the olders blessing, and the quick input from Kursha, the yellowblood would have to be quick about his business and make himself useful.
Stryke leaned in just a bit when the greenblood gave him that odd grin, a sort of half smirk on his face. "noted detective. i'll begin the investigation and see what I can find then eh? see ya later." The troll was already moving away from the other, giving him a smart salute that added to his sarcasm, darting off to go scout on ahead and perhaps add a few more options for them to play with.
While it required his being painfully silent, he'd found a Loyalist base and Rebel for his efforts. Noting the locations on the map to share later.

While he'd managed to find a Rebel base at the Club of all places, that wasn't enough for the resident of Old Hemisect. An idea occurred to him, creeping off like, a man on a mission. For a moment Stryke really did feel like a spy as he did his work.
Re-calling an old path leading to the Mall he was stocked to find no one had claimed the building as their own! "how promising. unclaimed land means new base building even sweet.."He added in a sing song voice. He double checked the mall, making sure it really unclaimed. He was quick to report back ot his team mates with his findings excitedly relaying the intel and providing them with coordinate he'd made note of on the map.

Detective? Ganyma didn't know that Kursha was any kind of detective; he seemed rather young, after all. Ganyma thought back to the group of girls -- what was their handle? Totally Spies? Ah! Perhaps he could give them a buzz on the radio! A genius idea.
He flipped his radio on (it had been off as usual) and talked into the speaker. "Hello? Totally Spies, this is Just Vigilance. Just wanted to, uh..." To what, say hi? It occured to Ganyma that saying his name over the rebel airwaves in such a conversational manner may appear as weak, or something. "Wish you best of luck!" He finished. "And I hope that extra construction brings the rebellion success!"
Ganyma fumbled to remove himself from the radio. He'd get their names later, when his stream of consciousness wasn't broadcasted.

"Nice going, Stryke. Let's make our way to the Daylight Mall quick-like!" Announced Ganyma. He took a transport with his fellow squadmates.
The Mall was actually a rather eerie place, especially considering its name. It was almost a bunker in of itself. Lots of supplies, room for strategic battles, and... Daywalker-proofed windows. No wonder it was called the Daylight Mall.
"I think... We should hang onto this one," commented Ganyma.

During their journey to the Daylight Mall, Kursha continuously Ganyma strange, almost accusatory looks. “What was that about?” he asked suddenly. His bad mood was momentarily forgotten in light of the tealblood's strange behaviour. “Your conversation on the radio, I mean. Who are... ‘Totally Spies’?”
At that moment, the Daylight Mall came into view. It was an ominous place, with barred windows, peeling plaster walls, and perhaps worst of all, it was completely deserted. Of course, that meant it was ideal to build a base on, but the barren display windows and empty halls added an air of forboding. Even Kursha seemed uncomfortable. His eyes flitted from side to side restlessly.
“As long as there isn't anything unpleasant waiting inside,” Kursha muttered in response.
Glancing at Kursha, Stryke gave a small shrug. "I'm pretty sure that's another one of our Rebel teams...I dunno for sure." he admitted sheepishly with a cheeky grin. "Uh...hopefully the Mall isn't anything too spooky." His brow knit, shifting just a bit uneasy at the idea of something being off about their new destination.
Having had some amount of success with talking and pursading over the last two days, Stryke waited until Ganyma was done with the radio gently tapping him on the arm for it before settling down and pushing down the transceiver. "Evening ladies and gents of the rebellion, anybody able to act as standby? Hmmm?" He tapped at the radio, the grin in his commentary was evident enough over the device.
"We've got a few things going for us, we need all available defenders that can be spared." Much to his relief 6 incoming transmissions indicated they would be willing to join them. Sighing with relief he released the button, it was a good start, maybe if he moved else were he could try again and see if any others would step up to the plate.

Leaving the company of Ganyma and Kursha briefly, the yellowblood tried another location with the radio even if it really didn't have that much of an effect he tried his luck at asking for more support. "anybody else on this frequency that didn't respond earlier? i'd like to get a few more defenders added to the standby pool." He waited..tapping his fingers against his leg impatiently hoping for a response.
When another set of five came in, the troll gave a little shout of excitement. "great! glad to here you lot can join in, await further orders they will follow in another transmission. over." Stryke added before passing the radio to Kursha this time...holding it just out of reach as if trying to get the other to grab for it, looking rather coy as if purposely trying to be annoying in his antics, feeling smug having managed to accomplish what he'd set out to do for the evening.

Kursha narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Ganyma had been associating with one of the other teams. When had that happened? More importantly why had it happened? Had he felt that his own team was too incompetent to keep up with him? Kursha shook his head clear of the questions that were swarming his thinkpan. He needed to stay focussed if he was going to prove himself!
“Go ahead and have them meet us here. It's a long way back to the shipwreck so we'll probably be staying here for the day...” His gaze went once more to the windows. At least he was sure that they would be relatively safe from any shadow-droppers.

Stryke didn't seem bothered by the idea of chatting amongst other rebel groups..as long as it was brief. They weren't all in a big gathering of groups, and needed to keep their radios ready for incoming data..or something like that. He'd just thought it a nice gesture all in all.
Over the course of the short amount of time spent in close quarters he'd noticed the greenblood seemed more or less angry for one reason or another. With some amount of concern, despite not knowing his history he crouched down by the other as he gazed out a window. "Hey, are you alright?" He inquired with a curious expression tilting his head at him slightly.

As Stryke gave the defenders the coordinates, Kursha took to prowling the nearby area. He looked as though he half-expected something to leap out at him. As he stopped by a window to peer outside, he suddenly heard a voice beside him. Kursha whirled, taking a defensive stance. It was only Stryke.
At the yellowblood's words, Kursha panicked. His face became a whirlwind of expressions, and he felt a knot form in his stomach. Ganyma had asked that the morning before. In his sulky state, Kursha had paid it no mind, attributing it to tealblood's idiocy. Now that the yellowblood was asking him the same question though, he was beginning to worry. He had shown too much of himself. He was giving the enemy a foothold. No wonder the Colonel was ashamed of him. They were not asking if he was okay.
They were asking if he was weak.
Kursha laughed. A little hysterically. The high, sharp peals of laughter rang through the mall's empty corridors. After a moment, his laughter dwindled and he wiped at his eyes. “Am I all right?!” he echoed loudly. “I'm fine! A better question is are you all right?” He jabbed a finger into Stryke's chest. “You're hive's going to turn into a war-zone any night now and you seem to be taking it a little too well. Are you bottling it all up, or has the reality of it not quite sunk in yet?”
Without waiting for a reply, he turned to Ganyma. “Hey, Blue-suit! Pass me the radio, would you?” When the troll obliged, Kursha activated the transmitter. “Just Vigilance to Totally Spies! I overheard your conversation with my buddy earlier. I'm glad he could help you guys out. Just don't forget to repay the favour~! Over.” That took care of Ganyma's senseless meddling. Now, to business.
“Troops assigned to 2, 6... How's your progress? Looking forward to spending the rest of the night relaxing?” He paused, then smiled unpleasantly. “Great! Because we're launching an attack on the old asylum. Half of you keep on course, and the rest meet me at 2, 3. See you there soon!” With that, he tossed the radio back to Ganyma. He began to gather up his things, namely explosives. “I'm going out for a bit~!”

There was a horrible moment of reality tearing at the edges of his think pans sanity. Kursha's words cut into him like glass shattering. He'd been trying so hard to not think about it since the evacuation notice...while the finger jabs hand't hurt hardly at all his words certainly did. The yellowbloods face no long reflected a smile, nor a viscous grin of amusement. "No...I'm not really ok." Stryke shrugged his shoulders sounding sarcastic as he stared at Kursha with a blank look. "I'm just keeping myself busy." Stryke recoiled like he'd been struck looking away, bottling emotions left him feeling drained.
The short troll stood there before sighing dejectedly. "Guesss I'll have to build a new one if that happensss huh..? I still am hopeful it wont be all a ******** s**t storm and I'll have something to go back to." The yellowblood looked down then, hiding the pained expression in his yellow gaze, gritting his teeth even. Had he come across as rude? He certainly felt as such when the other had laughed like that and rubbed his own misery in his face. Sighing he muttered a form of an apology, shoulders drop rubbing his arm.
Something about his laugh made him question why he'd bothered the other. His lusus gave him a sharp stare clearly disappointed he was outwardly displaying his feelings, but the troll ignored the look backing off ready to go find himself a place to lie down for the night...wanting to be alone suddenly before either saw him break down like some wiggler. Thankfully the other was going out, so he could sulk in peace within the Mall at least.

“Tch.”
Kursha squinted through the smoke. Though he and the others had launched a ferocious assault, the base was somehow miraculously still standing. Even so, it looked to be on its last legs. It was a pity they were out of dynamite. That and the sun was going to rise in maybe another hour. Unless they wanted to get roasted alive, they would need to return back to base as quickly as possible.
“Wrap it up!” Kursha called. “We'll finish them off tomorrow!”
Hopefully.

DAILY REFRESH!
It's a new day! The fighting in Old Hemisect has begun, but injuries are as of yet still low. There have not yet been any casualties, to the relief of many lusii and even Captain Mapuye herself. The Alternian Military is offering leniency for those rebels who will turn themselves over to the royalist side. Flyers and announcements promising "Grace for those who, deep down in their pump biscuits, wish the best for our great Alternian race."
Today's Happenstance: Royalists attacking rebel defenders may roll 1D4. The resulting number of defenders can be added to their standby. This effect can only be used once per coordinate attacked.
Each troll is refreshed and ready to go with 2 available actions.
It was brought to my attention yesterday that there was an error printed in the rules! Please note that this error has been corrected, and to clarify:
You cannot mobilize defenders directly from your standby to assault an enemy base; they must be mobilized to a friendly base first. Thank you!
Refreshers: POSSIBLE ACTIONS ARE:
Build: Roll 1D6 to build on a coordinate that you have unlocked – the roll result determines the durability of the base. You can also build on friendly bases to add durability, up to a maximum of 30 durability. You cannot build on a coordinate that already has an enemy base on it. Trolls with training in Construction get a bonus to their roll: Apprentice: Roll 2D6 Journeytroll: Roll 3D6 Master: Roll 4D6 Grandmaster: Roll 5D6
Rally: Roll 1D6 to organize defenders, which can be assigned to any coordinate you have unlocked. The roll result determines the amount of defenders you have rallied. Defenders will be on stand-by until you mobilize them. Defenders are the second level of defense that can be assigned to protect a base. You must use defenders to take out defenders if you want to demolish an enemy base! Trolls with training in Recruiting get a bonus to their roll: Apprentice: Roll 2D6 Journeytroll: Roll 3D6 Master: Roll 4D6 Grandmaster: Roll 5D6 Demolish: Roll 1D6 to destroy a base on a coordinate that you have unlocked – the roll result determines the amount of damage done to the durability of the base. At 0 durability, the base is destroyed. You cannot demolish a base with defenders assigned to it. Trolls with training in Demolition get a bonus to their roll: Apprentice: Roll 2D6 Journeytroll: Roll 3D6 Master: Roll 4D6 Grandmaster: Roll 5D6
Intelligence: Roll a new coordinate (2D6). If you roll a coordinate you have already unlocked, the roll is wasted. Trolls with training in Intelligence get a bonus to their rolls: Apprentice: Roll 2 new coordinates (4D6) Journeytroll: Roll 2 new coordinates (4D6); if at least 1 of the coordinates is not unique, re-roll 2D6 until a new coordinate has been unlocked. Master: Journeytroll effect OR select one new coordinate from another team and unlock it. You must post with roleplay in your own thread and the other team’s thread for this to take effect. Grandmaster: Journeytroll effect OR Master effect OR… Roll 1 coordinate (2D6). If your allies control the coordinate rolled: add 5 durability and 5 defenders to that coordinate (may surpass the maximum durability/defender limit by 5). If your opponents control the coordinate rolled: it loses 5 durability and 5 recruits (does not apply if the numbers would decrease past 0). You additionally unlock the coordinate.
Mobilize: Choose one of two options: 1. Send defenders from your stand-by or a friendly-base you control to any friendly-base on a coordinate that you have unlocked. 2. Assault an enemy-controlled coordinate that you have unlocked using defenders from a friendly base. Defenders must be deployed to a base before they can assault an enemy base and cannot attack directly from your standby.
POST IN THE WAR ROOM THREAD IF:
You build a new base on a coordinate You reinforce a friendly base You assign defenders to a base You assault a base You do damage to a base You destroy a base You use the Grandmaster Intelligence perk to affect a base

"Hey, that was nice of you!" Commented Ganyma to Kursha. "Do you know them, too?" Kursha's comment seemed friendly enough to go beyond Ganyma's radar. He relaxed for a bit while Kursha took his leave, and wandered over to Stryke.
Up until this point, Stryke seemed upbeat -- jovial, maybe? It didn't occur to him that he could have been in such a state. Ganyma joined him in the mall. "You wanna take a walk around?" He said hopefully. He didn't have much room to solace the yellowblood. It was another case of consequences - lowbloods getting kicked out, kids being punished as a result of the government. Ganyma felt sick. He offered his hand to Stryke.
Through the radio came a buzzing crack. The Old Hemisect Asylum had fallen!

Ganyma left a note on the radio for building at the asylum. "You ready to go, Stryke?" he asked gently. Best wait until the yellowblood had his bearings.
