It was almost four in the morning now, the dark and its icy friend was firmly set upon the city now as the overwatch team moved into position. Natalia rested her knee upon the ledge of a building and used her scope to scan the area; not many of the buildings had lights on so it was pretty easy to spot the buildings used as a watch post.
"Two guards on the top with a couple of guards on each proceeding floor, it seems..." Natalia said, moving her eyes away from the scope and glancing over at her allies. It was so cold right now, but she comforted herself knowing the heat of battle was approaching.
The overwatch team was to move in first followed closely by the ordinance team. If the overwatch didn't clear out the posts then they risked loosing unnecessary amounts of men, such failure was not an option.

Zahkriit looked at the door of the watch post tower, and looked at the gap of the door and saw something that he was planning but didn't like; it was locked. Zahkriit sighed as he looked up the tower and tried to find a way to climb up it. The tower had some ledges, which they could climb, but it was risky. They could bust down the door, but that would make noise, and noise was not good for stealth missions.
"Natalia, if you can pick the lock, that would be great. Otherwise, we are going to have to climb, or risk breaking the door down." Zahkriit said as he tried to find something to use to help climb.

"There's a first time for everything, right?" Natalia joked as she glanced over at Zahkriit and shook her head while laughing a bit, "I'm joking, of course I know how to lock pick." She set her rifle down and steadied her eyes upon the door. She thought carefully to herself about the proceeding steps before looking over at Zahkriit and frowning, "It might be safer if you just boost me up to that fire escape, I can unlock it and we can get in through that way."
She had no idea of knowing how many men were behind that door. At least with the fire escape they could pick their floors carefully. This worked out much better in the end, anyway.

Zahkriit nodded as he walked over to the fire escape, and interlocked his fingers and made a step to boost Natalia up. "Ready when you are." Zahkriit said as he changed his stance to get ready for her.

"Here we go..." Natalia nodded as she placed her foot into Zahkriit's hands and was boosted up, she grabbed onto the fire escape and pulled herself up. Having hoisted herself up, she took a deep breath before scanning her surroundings and thanking the fact nobody was at the window. She unlatched the fire escape and did her best to ease the fall of it so it made a minimal amount of noise.
"Let's go!" She hissed down, "We'll clear the building floor by floor!"

Zahkriit nodded as he climbed up the fire escape and took lead. He walked up the steps and looked at the window and discovered it was unlocked.
"Not the brightest group here." Zahkriit commented as he opened it, and managed to get down from the window without making noise. The young man who vonlenterred for the mission came in afterwards.
"Check the first floor real quick." Zahkriit ordered, the agent did as he was ordered stairs for the first floor. The IIA agent looked down at the floor, and checked; no one was on the first floor.
He walked back to Zahkriit, "Floor is clear, sir." Zahkriit nodded.

"It's clear?" Natalia repeated in surprise, "I thought we were dealing with a highly technical group here... ah well, let's move from the first floor up." Natalia advised as she slid into the first floor. Taking out a revolver in one hand and a knife in the other they began to slowly clear the surrounding areas. They walked up the steps onto the second floor;there were so many apartments they had to clear - it was rather annoying. One apartment door was cracked open as the lights from a computer monitor cast a blue light into the hall. "We've got movement ahead."
Natalia crept over and glanced into the door, the room was filled with four Collectors who were busy watching a security feed and rooting through paper work. She looked back at them and held up her hand, raising four fingers to indicate how many enemies were there.

Zahkriit nodded as he raised his rifle and got his finger on the trigger of his rifle with a silencer. He looked back at agent T'ula and he nodded his readiness.
Zahkriit tapped on Natalia's shoulder, signaling for her to move in when ready.

Natalia kept herself low as she crept in, they were out numbered so she needed to move fast. She grabbed the closest one and jammed her knife into his neck, instantly collapsing the man before leaping to the next, she hoped that those two had a good aim because this entire mission was now riding on the fact they were good aims.
With the other Collector in hand she put her hand over his mouth and stabbed him in the back a couple of times until she felt he was good and dead... or nearly dead and too weak to scream out.

Zahkriit came into the room as soon as Natalia started her stabbing, and aimed to the guys next to Natalia's victim, and he fired 2 rounds into the guy's head, and then aim to the guy next to him and fired at him, nailing him in his forehead. Agent T'ula fired into the guy's shoulder, and then nailed him in the head. Agent T'ula lowered his gun, but then he noticed movement out of behind the door, and quickly pivoted, blocking the knife of the 5th guy. He struggled for a bit, before his brain was splattered.
Zahkriit's barrel was smoking as he took a breath.
"Next room." Zahkriit said as he walked back out to the hallway looking both way.

Natalia wiped her bloodied blade across her pant leg and nodded. One couldn't tell by how she moved, but her heart was beating incredibly fast as they dived into battle; this was what she was used to in the Failed States - preying upon the unknowing until it was far too late for them to react, she almost felt at home in all of this. They cleared the first floor with little trouble, taking care of a couple more people until they moved up two more floor and cleared them off rather quickly. It felt... too easy.
"We should head up to the roof and get ready." Natalia advised as she pulled her knife out of another victim. It was far too easy, they weren't adapt to fighting and it was becoming almost... boring. Honestly if Acutus was here he could at least have kept her busy, he always knew how to keep her from becoming bored on a mission...

"I agree, but don't take it too lightly. It's a miracle that it has been this easy so far. I am surprise that this is all we have encountered with Dust." Zahkriit whispered as he walked up the stairs. He was in the lead, but was slow in order to make sure his gun was loaded. Once the clip was full, he put it back in, and hurried up the stairs to the roof, getting ready for what Dust would have planned for them.

"Icos always spoke of them as if they're ghosts..." Natalia remarked, "Never known him to exaggerate the situation. We've best be careful." She stepped onto the roof, which was absolutely clear. "I'll set up overwatch."
Natalia stepped towards the ledge and pulled out her goggles, looking down the street she kept a fair eye out for anything in the surrounding buildings. "No immediate threats spotted..." Natalia spoke out, "Give the signal and prepare to cover the next group..."

Zahkriit nodded as he pulled out box. He faced towards them as he flashed his light 3 times. He pulled out a wind gauge, and set it out, so that they could factor for the wind.
"Let's start the fireworks." Zahkriit said, as the other agent set up his sniping position. Zahkriit still was thinking about how easy it was getting up the tower was... maybe too easy...

An IIA Agent watched carefully before noticing the signal by overwatch that they had control of the rooftops. He turned towards Icos who sat patiently waiting for the signal, "We're ready, sir."
Icos sat up and addressed the second party which consisted of Troy and about a dozen other IIA Agents were to head in next to plant explosives on the wall between the streets and the main compound. Most of them would be guards to those who were planting the bombs, the three technicians were a small group consisting of a young man with deep red hair and pale facial features - he was pulled straight out of school at the age of thirteen, the young man known Ajax was hired on by the IIA for his extraordinary knowledge in explosives and how they worked - while the second agent was a lady of twenty nine years of age, Thelotian by birth she was recruited by the IIA after finishing higher education concerning military tactics and engineering, finally the last one was Troy, Tanya's on hand expert on all things weaponry and destructive.
They were rather valuable people that Icos had no interest in loosing.
"Alright," Icos started, "Start moving up slowly, if any Collector appears overwatch will take them down. Be silent and safe everyone, good luck." Icos directed. They were already aware at which point to place the bomb and Icos simply hoped they had enough firepower to get through that thick wall they had up.
