Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nijemi and her little group arrived at the outskirts in a jog, designed to move them faster than walking, but not to tire them out, weapons held at the ready. They were moving at a brisk pace, but rather behind most of the other teams.

V swore under his breath as he saw the wall and contiued to crawl slowly around twords the east side. As V did so though he soon found out from a distance that there was no getting through that way so V began to slowly crawl back to the west side, all the while using the shadows and the darkness as cover. So far as V could see no major spoot lights had been set up and the wall seemed only as if it could hold maybe a small stage light. Even so V stayed behind the stumps at an angle all of the time so incase they did turn a spot light on of some kind he would be hidden mostly. Another fact was where were they going to get the power from. So V continued to crawl twords the west side of the base and stoped as he watched the gaurds move this way and that along with some workers trying to finnish the wall. V the slowly began to move on the furthest north part as he could, staying clear of the wall and it's gaurds V looked around for any other gaurds and saw none in imedit eye sight but that didn't mean there wern't any.

Indeed.

And as the UGH forces preferred to be well equipped, they had goggle systems. Nothing so advanced as Ji Long or Fourteen's but, they served their purpose. They did not use night vision, as flares and bright flashes could blind them since it enhances what little light there was. No, they used heat vision. That fancy Predator s**t.

And well, even if Vunkai was camoflauged, his heat signature would give him away. And then there would be guns-a-blazin. Or actually, nore along the lines of sniper fire. Unsilenced sniper fire, because the gunshots also acted as an alarm.

Each shot aimed to riddle his body with bullets.

Apparently he would be blown to bits before he would even stand up...

The bullets peirced his body as he tried to stand up and V was knocked over and normaly blood would have seeped out but none did. V was in so much pain though that there was no way he could even try to get away. He just let his boddy become pummled with bullets and prayed to some god that they would not shoot him in the head. As V's flesh was slowly replaced with lead he coughed up blood and it spilled out of his mouth. In one last feable atempt to save his life he raised a hand into the air as if either trying to tell them to stop or to give them more target practice. He was going to die. No doubght about that but if he got the message to the Minners and they agreed hopfuly then the battle might not be as intense in the end and maybe some more lives, lives worth living would be spared. He had earned his time so V's hand either intackt or desimated fell to the ground as his hold on his blood began to loosen and there was only a matter of about a minuet before he would die flat out.

(( There's a sidequest thread for dead people in the non-living realm.

*Points to the sticky.*

...just that, generally, Metal Gear Solid doesn't quite work that way... what with the sneaking into a base full of armed badasses. ))

Just as the APC passed, a load of people was heading down through the outskirts of camp. About thirty men in all, those who weren't piled into the truck were huffing it on foot.

Athan was in front of them all, standing right next to the driver's side of the lead truck, leading them in the direction they needed to go.

The headlights were like a shining beacon of hope.

Or a giant target.
