The team wakes on a beach. The coastline seems clean and smells of sea air. Once again, your memory is vague on certain points, like how you got here. Mindhaze has a headache once again. There are several backpacks full of gear, including food, water, and medical kits. Moley's pack has a advanced Giger counter. There are notes written in each pack:

Team Moley,

You advanced iodine treatment pills should be taken if before you leave camp. This medicine will shield you for 24 hours from any long term radiation sickness to a certain level. Anything beyond that can be prevented by Warhead. Stay clear of direct contact with the reactor and you should be fine. Moley's suit and Warhead should not require pills in any case, thus more for Mindhaze's use.

The disruption chip should be applied to Download's metal section of his skull. It is partly magnetic, and will take about a minute to upload the virus to his CPU after contact is made. You must keep him from removing it.

Note-the Giger counter should show any moving sources of radiation-which will be any beta infected moving in patrols to guard the reactor. The map should show you where to go.

Sure enough, there is a map with the diablo canyon power plant laid out, including your location half a mile away. There is also a broadcast device to signal when you are ready for pick up.

OOC:
Please feel free to keep posting in the HQ, as you have a day to finish whatever you where doing there.

Richard woke up slowly, confused for a moment, and blinked several times. Then realization dawned on him, "doesn't really get easier..." He rubbed his eyes and let out a small sigh.

He looked around and his face changed. He smiled and looked over at Natalia, "And you say I never take you anywhere nice!"

Then he looked in his backpack, and read the note inside. He looked over at the other two. "Alright then. Diablo Canyon. Good times."

Moley woke up feeling the same as he always does when waking up to a mission. The pack he had prepared was laying next to him. He opened it and produced a circular object about the size of a normal humans palm which he offered to Mindhaze. “I built you a device that will overlay your suit to protect you from the radiation. There are some additional benefits which you may or may not use. One is altering your cerebral wavelengths to be able to interact with machines. It may help if we have to deal with any computers Download has that will cause us issues. Simply place this on the front of your suit, and it will integrate itself. An AR display will appear outlining its abilities.”

"Alright, alright, I will..." she said, holding her head in agony, once again in response to Moley's words. These headaches were getting ridiculous. She was seriously considering blocking their memory blocks from her mind. It would be a massive rule break, but if she was able to, they wouldn't even know.

Smiling at Richard, she nodded,

"I guess I stand corrected, don't I?" she said, asking a second later, "Have anything for a headache on you?" she was hopeful sounding, but they both knew better.

Standing up, she grunted in pain, but tried to shake it off. Focusing inward, she managed to quell the pain just enough that she could function.

Sure enough, in addition to the anti-radiation drugs, there is a decent amount of aspirin. Mindhaze places Moley's device on the front of her suit at the belt level. Sure enough, it projects a digital screen and a glowing aura over her body, with a tiny digital mole-like creature hovering near her eyeline. Its basically a mole version of Clippy-and speaks in word bubbles.

"Hi! I am the Mole energy enchantment prototype! Or MEEP!"

Mindhaze quickly realizes no one else can see MEEP's message, as it seems to be contacting just her. Actually using her own telepathy to communicate with the machine, as Moley himself said it could.

Moley's Giger counter is ready for use, and as soon as he turns it on it shows him a massive radiation signal half a mile away.

Warhead can sense the energy, almost drawing him to its source. He needs no equipment to do so, but almost feels like there is a free food just sitting there and waiting for him to arrive.

Richard - no they were in the field so had to think of himself properly - Warhead looked around slowly, then closed his eyes for a moment. Without looking, he pointed one arm. "Radiation, and a lot of it, is that way." He unconsciously took a step towards it before stopping himself and opening his eyes.

He shook his head. "Don't think I've ever felt that much all in one place before."

He glanced at Mindhaze. "You okay to go?"

Laughing softly as the chipper voice popped into her mind to speak with her, she thought back at it,

Well thank you Meep! I appreciate your assistance today! she thought it was cute, like a small pet she would have at her side... or her front.

Turning back to Warhead, she smiled wanly, throwing 4 aspirin back into her throat and swallowing with a small amount of trouble,

"I should be fine. They just... when they rummage around up there, it hurts a bit when they have to rip your defenses out first." she said, lifting a finger to her temple to show the 'there' clearly.

Turning, she was ready to move towards the radiation, if they were.

OOC-I am assuming you are heading to the reactor now? Just waiting on Moley's agreement.

Moley looked down at the Geiger counter that was indicating the same direction as Warhead. He starts walking in that direction. “We can start walking there most of the way. Is there any point where we would want to tunnel underneath to get a read on their numbers or stay topside?”

Warhead looked over at Moley and thought about it for a moment. "I mean...I don't know offhand. There could be a good reason for it, but for now I think we just walk and then see what we see. We can, likely, back and go underground as needed if we see a reason for it."

He gave a shrug. "And it's not like you or me would be stopped by most materials if we really wanted to dig under and come up inside of the plant I guess."

He kept walking.

"I could also fly us there, rather quickly... so long as nobody is so heavy that I can't telekinetically hold them up." she shrugged. She figured at this point they were in basic agreement, it was just a question about how, not "if".

"What is our plan when we DO get there? Are we just going to stroll in, and hope that he's right there, just willing to fight us?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow.
