[Ragnarok]

:norway: "Proper enough to have a talk through the radio, don't worry", Sirus said with amused voice, but his Norwegian had very strong Icelandic accent in.
:norway: "Though my Danish is bad and Finnish is non-existent. Swedish is okay."

Sirus glanced at his papers and scratched his head.
:iceland: "You will have a one tank that pulls one bigger van. The weaponry is, due to our budget, non-existent and you all have to survive with your own weapons. But in need, Vilma can surely get something."
Sirus didn't look sure at all of it though. He started to rummage through the papers after the answer.

:iceland: "And true, you have one non-immune with you, uhhh...Sanni Lampinen, yes you."
He nodded at the girl that sat in the corner
:iceland: "We will provide that the tank and van are safe from the rash and its creatures as long as you take precautions. There will also be spare masks."

:norway: "Good. I will assist Vilma in securing supplies. I know some people on this base."
The wolf at his heels barked at this statement, continuing to pant.

The wolf at his heels barked at this statement, continuing to pant.

Sirus beamed when he heard Axel's suggestion.
:norway: "That's great! Your tank can't fit inside a lot of things along with the food supplies, but maybe you can get few rifles and ammunition for them. Whatever you all see suitable, but remember that there has to be space for the books and items also."
The man shuffled again around the table.
:iceland: "If anybody doesn't have other questions, I won't keep you here longer. I can escort you all to the tank."

man in a knitted sweater and comfy socks would indeed be a slightly humorous sight in the midst of the military members that are stuffed into thick jackets.
Sirus snickered to himself. Vilma would find it funny.
But about the thick jackets-
:iceland: "Oh- and I hope you don't have too much packed. We give you all military set of warm clothes from here."

Anne had just listened quietly the man's talking, without getting a lot of information about it. Only what was spoken in Norwegian got through her head. It slightly ticked her off to not have a clear communication going on, but she would ask later Vilma or this man.
If things got really tight, Bergström would actually be the best choice to ask.

Sirus took a replica of the map, that he had on the table, from one shelf.
:iceland: "The trip is supposed to start tomorrow. You all still have to sleep tonight in the tank due to, err, lack of space."
He and Vilma had to sleep in this shaggy control room, military's goodwill could only go that far.

The redhead nodded, and stood silently. :norway: "Ylva, come."
The wolf gave Runar and his cat a friendly glance before following in the redhead's footsteps.

[Kitty]

The redhead nodded, and stood silently. :norway: "Ylva, come."
The wolf gave Runar and his cat a friendly glance before following in the redhead's footsteps.

Kitten freaked out at the bark, but calmed down then dog left. She flopped on Rúnar's head. He patted her, and returned grade A collar around her neck.
He'll come along soon, but he wanted a bit of a distance between the wolf and the kitten.

[ILoveMySocksAndSweater]

Elin turned to Anne and gave her a nervous smile. Translator was a bit more work than she was expecting, but what was she supposed to do? Just let this lady not understand what's going on? Elin started her translation, " :sweden: So that place where that guy, Sirius, stuck the tack in the map? He says that's what the old world called Scotland and that's where we'll be headed. He also says 'I assume you all know the risks. Your goal is to bring back anything valuable, like books, items and information about the rash. The sea's defense ship is gonna take you all and your equipment to Selbjorn to a place called'" Elin gave a brief look of confusion, "'John o' Groats. Then the tank will take you to the old city of Perth and then to Aberdeen. The ship will pick us up there. It'll take the whole winter. You have to report once a week to the main radio station.' Our leader is Amelia Vinter and the second in command is you. We have a tank that pulls a bigger van. We have to bring our own weapons. You should also know that Sanni, the little one with the braids, is not immune. We all have a military set of warm clothes and jackets here. Also, we're gonna have to sleep in the tank tonight."

Elin giggled nervously, "I hope that was alright. Oh! And also, do you have any questions?"

Elin tried for one more smile, it most definitely did not look like she was smiling.

Anne looked with a small confusion Bergström, but then fell listen to her translation of the whole talking and information. Some she had known beforehand, naturally, but some were new even to her.
The blonde looked the taller woman with a beaming look and felt so much more eased. She tended to overthink these things so much.

:sweden: "I can't even tell how grateful I am to you. I got very worried about how I can handle this", Anne said with a hand on her chest and sigh escaped from her.
She stood up now and saw the man already with the wolf go ahead of them. Others in the room seemed to wait.
She turned back to the taller woman.
:sweden: "Elin Bergström, right? I don't know if you remember me", she said with a small chuckle and decided to stop the teasing. Clearly the other didn't recognize her, so better just say it straight.

Anne started to walk outside of the room.
:sweden: "Scouts and cleansers don't work that much with each other", which was a true pity.

Sirus waited for Amelia, Sanni and Runar, but started also creep closer to the doors.

Sirus waited for Amelia, Sanni and Runar, but started also creep closer to the doors.

Sanni listened in silence to the discussions of weapons, equipment, sleeping conditions, the route...her immunity, or lack thereof. She waited until everyone was moving to stand up quietly and slip along at the back of the group, headed toward the door.

[Kitty]

Rúnar also got up, a kitten on his head. He started to follow the group.

[luca0483]

"You have to report at least once a week to the main radio station and tell the situation. The leader of the group is Amelia Vinter and the second-in-command is Anna-Inga Thorvaldsen."

When Sirus said her name, Amelia half-assedly put her hand in the air for a moment as she looked around, but quickly focused her attention back on the map.

:iceland: "Any questions?" Sirus asked with a smile and took a sip from the mug.

:iceland: "I have a couple of questions before we go. First off, what is the procedure for emergency extraction? Second, the route goes through this major city, uhmm, Inverness? Do we have solid intel on the status of the bridge over the straight? Whether still standing and not blocked by vehicles?"

Sirus waited for Amelia, Sanni and Runar, but started also creep closer to the doors.

Eiln stood up, rising much higher than Anne. She felt shorter. She stared wide-eyed for moment, someone remembers me. Elin tried to remember her reasons for coming on this trip, she found her mind empty.

Elin narrowed her eyes, this woman was familiar, " :sweden: Uh, yeah it's Elin Bergström. You do seem pretty familiar, but I don't recall exactly where I've seen you before... sorry."

Elin felt stupider by the moment, she was already starting to regret coming on the trip. Too late to turn back now, hopefully she'd at least be able to make some friends or maybe punch some stuff here.

" :sweden: So, you worked for the cleansers?"

[Temteno]

When Sirus said her name, Amelia half-assedly put her hand in the air for a moment as she looked around, but quickly focused her attention back on the map.

:iceland: "I have a couple of questions before we go. First off, what is the procedure for emergency extraction? Second, the route goes through this major city, uhmm, Inverness? Do we have solid intel on the status of the bridge over the straight? Whether still standing and not blocked by vehicles?"

Sirus stopped where he was going with the others and walked back to the map, next to Amelia. He brushed his chin.
:iceland: "For your first question, it is hard to answer. It all depends of the situation, but as a guideline you all will contact us through the radio and get immediately to a closest point of the coast."
The man pointed the island's seashores.
:iceland: "If contacting through the radio isn't possible, we will wait three weeks for you to get in Aberdeen. This all depends of the situation though."

Sirus glanced to his side as he saw everybody else get outside of the room.
:iceland: "To your second question: no, we don't", the man cracked into a smile.
:iceland: "That's why you are here, going to get books and investigate the area. If such problems come into the way, you as a leader have to decide what to do. We at the other end will of course help."
He glanced at the door.
:iceland: "Do you have other questions? If yes, I can escort you to the maintaining area personally later."
There seemed to be already someone else to escort the eager ones.


Behind the control room's door was waiting a young man with a very bony structure, a shaved head and wispy mustache. He twitched slightly when he saw the huge men and few women come there.
:norway: "Hey, Jaakko Yläkangas from the Finnish military unit of Keuruu", he introduced himself with slightly shaky hands, but stared them all one by one to the eyes.
:norway: "Vilma Holmquist asked me to escort you all to the maintaining area, when you were finished."

Jaakko looked anything than comfortable, but he tried to maintain his professionalism.
He waved his hand as a sign to follow and started the walking in the hallway.

Eiln stood up, rising much higher than Anne. She felt shorter. She stared wide-eyed for moment, someone remembers me. Elin tried to remember her reasons for coming on this trip, she found her mind empty.

" :sweden: So, you worked for the cleansers?"

Anne looked at the Elin's surprised expression and smiled in amusement. She waved her hand as a sign to be calm as she walked behind the huge man with a small cat.
:sweden: "Don't be sorry, most of the scouts are hard to remember", she said and poked slightly fun of her own profession.
Anne nodded to the taller woman's question.
:sweden: "Yeah, I do night and day scouts in the cleansed areas, so I'm kind of a co-worker to the cleansers. That's why I know you."

Se glanced after their leader, but then decided to just follow the lead of the man, who would escort them.
:sweden: "Well, of course I would know one of the leaders. But what you were before doesn't change this situation."
Anne stretched out her arm to shake Elin's. She looked excited.
:sweden: "Now we are group members here. Nice to meet you, I'm Anne-Inga Thorvaldsen. Shortly Anne."


Those who followed Jaakko closely would have started to see the maintaining area. It had inside there ships in need of fixing, few tanks and some amount of vans. One door had a sign of "equipment hall".
:norway: "You should be able to find your tank in the D-17 slot", Jaakko commented off-handedly and cleared his throath.

:norway: "You should be able to find your tank in the D-17 slot", Jaakko commented off-handedly and cleared his throath.

The redheaded man looked the maintenance area over and nodded, before approaching Jaakko. :norway: "I will need to visit the armory, first," he said flatly.

:norway: "You should be able to find your tank in the D-17 slot", Jaakko commented off-handedly and cleared his throath.

Rúnar was concerned. Jaakko guy seemed very nervous. Either he was like that by nature, or they were about to get trash for the expedition.
He headed for the tank.
If it only needs minor repairs, he can probably be done by morning.
And who's gonna drive if you're out, smarty-pants?
Well, he'll get some sleep on the ship.

[Temteno]

The redheaded man looked the maintenance area over and nodded, before approaching Jaakko. :norway: "I will need to visit the armory, first," he said flatly.

Jaakko turned to Axel and eyed him slightly with his arms crossed.
His look locked on to the huge dog though. The man clearly pondered in his mind.

:norway: "...they won't let you have anything too much, you know. The budget is what it is", Jaakko said with a straight face and glanced at the "Equipment hall" door.
:norway: "You will also need Holmquist with you-"

Loud chattering could be heard now as a woman emerged from another door and went to talk with someone at a stand next to "Equipment hall" door.
Jaakko inhaled deeply. Runar went already ahead of the others, but he stared the ones left there.
:norway: "Well, the Holmquist is there. I still warn all of you, this trip was barely funded by the Northern Council", Jaakko said with a straight face, but didn't seem to be annoyed. He just stared all of them with a doubt and shaking hands.
:norway: "Please, don't test your luck too much."

He nodded still at the Vilma's direction there and started to go after the Runar.
:norway: "Holmquist is getting to you all the set of clothing. Please, get the tank ready and have a rest in it - or try the equipment hall, whatever suits your boat."
Jaakko looked like he was ready to pass out.

Jaakko looked like he was ready to pass out.

:norway: "What's wrong with the damn thing?" Rúnar asked him, clearly in a bad mood.
He said D-17, right?

D... 1, 2, 3...
