Knowhere IC

I need someone to look after my dog and a couple personal items while we're uh.. out. Just in case.

It'd make me feel better. Please.

Being conscious is overrated, even though the healers here are a lot different then what I'm used to. Still not too sure how this works, not being helped by my head feeling kind of weird but hey I'll take it.

I really need my armor though, if I'm going to try that again. Or find someone who has a bow. Or magic. Kind of sucks sitting it out, but one does not argue with the healers.

Heard, saw, something about people tackling the big ones. Despite my luck landing me in the middle of whatever those things are, Maker smile on all of you.

Varric's never, ever, going to believe me. Or anyone else.

Shepard to Group, as a general Comms test prior to boarding the TARDIS

Alright, one more time to make sure everyone's clear on how this is going to go. As soon as we land, I'm first out the door. Sabo and Ryder, I want you hot on my heels. Lay down the fire and the biotic combinations heavy to clear as a hole. Kerrigan, Nebula, Meetra, we all form a circle around Rocket with Meetra using the force to, hopefully, give us a clear path that's going to line up with what the biologists and engineering experts have come up with for intel. You keep your fingers hot on the trigger and heavy on the sword swinging, but be care to keep the heat off Rocket and the bomb as much as possible. We move in tight groups, we stay together until we get to the brain, then it's everyone cover Rocket until he tells us it's time to go, then we go. I'll bring up the rear on the way out and we're all going to make a mad dash back to the TARDIS and get the hell out of there.

I'm not going to lie to any of you. I know this ship. I know it better than I want to. He's going to try to get in your head and I can only imagine, especially once Harbinger figures out what we're up to, he's not going to take it very easy on us at all. Fight smart. Drop back to the TARDIS if you don't think you can take a hit and keep rolling, there's no point you getting swarmed and coming in deeper if you're not going to be able to make the run back out. You watch your ammo, stay frosty, and no trying to hack the Reapers this time Ryder.

Everybody copy?

Shepard to Jyn:

You remember what I said the other day, you understand?

Shepard to Rose, Jack, and River:

You're our ride in and out and I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you what that means. We're going to do our best to stay loud and keep the focus on us, but you hold that ship as best you can and bug out if you think you're going to lose it. We've got secondary air support on standby for a reason. Just keep your comms open. If anyone gets hit too badly, we'll be keeping open comms and you'll have backup coming, hopefully with a clear path all the way back to you.

(OOC: I'll be putting up subthreads for OPEN Comms, Private Comms and general OOC discussion about how the strike teams go for the various groups if there's things that got left out or people wanted to add. Have fun everybody and don't hesitate to have your people go hog wild with this one!)

Sif To Group, including the TARDIS and Secondary pilots, just prior to boarding:

Today, we shall teach these Reapers a series of very important lessons about challenging worlds beyond their strength. I expect each and every one of you to fight valiantly. We will protect Lady Bloodstone while we make our way through this metal beast. We will slay and stop any enemy who seeks to harm her or prevent us from completing the task set before us. Today we shall slay this giant and show it how its size matters not, that it will not stand in the face of our combined strength.

Let us fight together, let our deeds and actions be worthy of the songs and legends attached to what we will do this day. Let us take back this planet, let us avenge it's fallen, and let us send a strong message to these Reapers that we will not stand for such vile plots. Let us show them that, should they ever seek to set their talons upon any other world, that we will be ready for them, that we have learned their weaknesses, and we will exploit them without hesitation.

It will be both a privilege and honor to fight with you all, to feast with you proper when this battle is done, and to drink to our deeds this day.

Now, let us go forth and fell a giant.

You'd both better come back in one piece.
