Veridian Under Siege

Time: 11:00 am Friday
Where: Veridian Dynamics
Who: Purifiers, Vargas, Marcelo, Sage, possibly others
What: The Purifiers have chosen to make a statement, and Marcelo's corporation is the unfortunate target.
Warnings: Possible violent content.

The time had come for the Crusade to make a big statement, to show its power and purpose to a world that seemed drifting towards damnation. The Brethren had made their orders, and Vargas was to lead a handpicked group of Purifiers in an assault on a major corporate power that had aligned itself with the mutant curse. Originally, Vargas had insisted they assault Shaw Industries directly but it had been vetoed by the Brethren on the grounds that Shaw Industries was a virtual fortress, possessed not only of defences but of actual weapons systems that would likely have turned any effort at attack into a bloody debacle, let alone the presence of numerous powerful mutants, but also because Veridian was an international corporation and the effects of the attack would echo beyond the borders of the United States.

They would make the approach by two directions, one from underground, blasting into the subbasements of Veridian and the other from the ground, approaching in an armoured helicopter. The attack from the ground would be directed by twenty armoured Purifiers, men equipped with heavy weaponry and armour proof against all but the strongest of attacks. From the air would descend another twelve, modern-day Disciples and Apostles, armed the same but made up of the most experienced and capable members of the organization, all former military men, mostly former special forces. Along with them would go Vargas himself, brandishing the blade he'd found many years ago, near the beginning of his personal war against the forces of genetic corruption.

Though he was the commander of this mission, he knew that in the end, he was naught but a servant, a faithful slave to the One True God, the Lord of Hosts. He had spent the journey to the Veridian Dynamics tower in prayer and contemplation, eagerly imploring the Lord's blessing in what they had to do. Their misson was to make a wreckage of Veridian Dynamics and seize Marcelo Alencar da Silva as a hostage. Vargas would have preferred that he be made a bloody example of, but the Brethren were wise and believed he had value as a hostage. Getting Veridian, the most important company to so far subscribe to the Shaw girl's blasphemous drive to accept mutants into the body politic to abandon the plans and getting rid of a prominent mutant sympathsizer to Brazil would be victories. He would trust his masters, both Earthly and Heavenly. He was a soldier, pledging his sword for Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To doubt or question was not his to do.

As they approached, they opened up fire against the side of the building. It was then that they got their first surprise. While the Vulcan cannon they used was capable of shattering individual panes, it wasn't capable of inflicting collateral damage. In fact, it was barely doing the job on individual panes as it was. Clearly, the glass being used in Veridian wasn't ordinary. But it didn't take long for enough of the top few floors to be cracked open for the teams to go in, lead by Vargas himself. The security guards armed with tasers and net guns were another small surprise, though the tasers were useless against the armoured shell of the Purifiers and even the nets, while somewhat inconvenient, assumed ordinary human targets or close to them. Knock-out gas would have been highly effective, save for the full NBC protection offered by the Purifier armour. 

In the end, the difference lay almost as much in the intent of the Purifiers. Veridian security had likely been organized around preventing theft and vandalism against motley bands of supervillains or mere terrorists, not military-trained men with heavy weaponry bent on making a statement about the enduring power of their faith before the world.

Berto did not like the sound of that. "Wolverine and Warpath, we need a hand down here."

There. he had at least called them in. Now, to take care of this thing. Sunspot fired a couple fire blasts of heat and concussive force at the Sentinel. One at its center of body mass and the other at its feet.

Wolverine hurried down the few floors left and burst in with all claws bared. Nobody was having any fun without him.

"Will wonders never cease," Jimmy commented to himself as he turned on his heel to head back toward Sunspot. Bobby had to have grown up. He actually let them know what was going on.

He put his knives away while he was in motion.

Doug, fortunately, was still behind the cover of a discarded car. He let his fingers dance across his tablet, trying to hack the Sentinel's OS.

"That's just cheating. Typical Sentinel," Jimmy commented to himself. He just barely dodged the syringe fired at him after weathering the concussive blasts.

In one fluid motion, he drew his knife and threw it. If he hit, score. If not, he was ready to throw something bigger and Canadian.

Dodging blasts took Logan into the path of flying syringes. One grazed his shoulder as he ran toward whatever was left to fight. He was ready to be thrown at the one hovering over them.

Grandstanding Sunspot was trying himself to get aloft and fire blasts of energy at the floating Sentinel. He didn't quite have the maneuverability to get out of the way of the syringe coming right at him. He assumed he was tough enough that it wouldn't do much to him.

So, he was more than a little put out when it hit home and he plummeted to the floor. "Drogas."
