For brief instance Dante feels anger begin to well up inside. Then he stops and thinks over what was jus said. 'Maybe he is right. Maybe this guy did have something to do with his fathers death'
"I'll take the job Alexander, I need the money, and maybe your right. Sorry I came to you, I just thought that you had... Never mind, again I'm sorry. I should have realized decision come from higher up. You did give your word you would try, and I know you did. As for that bag, I dont think it will pass airport security and I was lead to believe you were handling that form of transportation."
Dante walks over to the desk and picks up the file, "have any of the new team worked in CS before? It can be a rough place."
He then grabs his bag, and heads for the open door. "See you when we get back I guess," and heads out bags in one hand file in the other.

*remains quiet in the backseat, the mind turning over the ads she read, trying to see if Heckle tried to contact her that way, and knows that its a negative. closing the eyes just once with a deep sigh, mutters 'stay safe bro. stay safe'.
*then looking up andover to the right, stares out the passenger window and says nothing.

" I prefer stuff that makes a bigger bang." Khris grinned at Jeckle as he took the passenger seat. " I'll leave the precision stuff like taht to you an Tigger." He adjusted the rearview mirror so he could see Majician while he tried on the glasses Jeckle had given him. " So magic boy? Whot do you bring to this little party? Wave your magic wand and make bad guys disappear?" He waved his hands like a showman wizard would, before adjusting his glasses fit a bit.
" These I like." He grinned to himself.

*glances at shroud and then at magician, then back to shroud. 'you'll like them more int he gloom or dark. normal 20/20 but able to get the body core of people about you. a thermal, you'll also notice that everyone is slightly different, core wise. in case you need to keep your eyes on one particular body. range is only 75 before it starts to get murky. sorry, that was something hec..... ' *goes silent and then looks out the window once again, the burned side showing to the teammates so none can see the twist of pain and worry.

Dante
Mr. Alexander wishes Dante luck as the door closes. He makes his way to the waiting vehicle. As he approaches he can see that the team is already in the vehicle waiting to go. The driver and one other man are loading the gear into the back.
Seeing him approach, the driver addresses Dante.
"Ah, you must be the last minute add-on. They said you'd be running a little late. Looks like you got here just in time. I'll take that bag." The man takes the bag and gives Dante a baggage claim tag. "This will make sure your bags bypass all the usual inspections."
Looking at the tag, it says the bag contains sensative electronic equipment and shouldn't be scanned or x-rayed. An additional stamp on the tag shows the familiar Century Station Council of Industry logo on it. That stamp is a free pass through the airport's standard security measures.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone Else
As the team sits in the vehicle while their bags are loaded into the SUV, another man comes up behind the vehicle, bag in hand. About that time Tiger's phone rings.
Answering it, she is greeting by Mr. Alexander. "Tiger, your last team member should be arriving any second now. I'll leave it to him to make introductions. Good luck. Call me if you need anything. And most of all, be very careful."
Magician looks at the sunglasses Jeckle gave him, since he had nothing else to do at the moment. Growing quickly bored, he replaces the glasses in his pocket and looks at each team member.
"So, I know I'm the new guy, but wouldn't it be a good idea to make some preliminary plans before we get to the airport? And shouldn't we be getting familiar with each other's abilities and skills? That's what they taught during my training. I know classroom isn't always accurate, but it's still a good idea... right?" His voice trails off at the end.

Starting to get antsy, Khris turned and looked over his new sunglasses at Magician. " You see her there on the phone? She makes the bloody decisions. It's up to the lot of us to make them work. An I'll guarantee you that whotever they taught you in school ain't the way things go down in the field. I'll tell you right now, that was your homework, this is the beginning of your education."
He glanced out the window at the new arrival. and scoffed as he tried to get comfortable. " The only bloody thing I hate more than having to wait to be driven around is waiting to be driven around. Why canna I take my bloody bike to the airport?" He sputtered under his breath.

Dante hands his bag off to the man with the ticket and takes the ticket in his hand which in a second is gone from sight. He approaches the car and glances at the team. He still holds the folder containing the mission brief in one hand. He says as he approaches, "I'm Dante, who is Tiger? I understand he is leading this mission."

[Tiger]
She turns in her seat and winks at Shroud, “If you took your bike to the airport, then there wouldn’t be any savvy veterans to lecture our team.”
Tiger turns to the Magician, “You’re right, we should share a couple things. I’m sure in your classes they waited to do that until everyone was present. And here comes our final addition now.”
Tiger watches Dante open the door, and when he asks where “he” might be found, she fixes him with her brilliant blue eyes and says, “I’m Tiger, Miss Dante. We were just about to make formal introductions,” she gestures to one of the men already in the van, “This is Shroud, his specialties include being a sneaky bastard and dirty work. He is top notch at both. This is the Magician, whose abilities go beyond slight of hand, furthermore he is an excellent student as well. And Jeckle, named after a magpie I think and certainly not after a crazy doctor, is an amazing mechanic. I know she is amazing because I’m an excellent field mechanic myself and technical people never get assigned to my teams unless they actually add something to the group. Other than making a few things, I’ve lead infantry and also tank squads, and I know my way around guns, but my real talents are brought to light training Omega Shield agents in the art of Tiger Claw kung fu and leading mission teams.” Her tone is light, but not mocking, and her voice is especially convincing when she is complimenting each member of the team. "And you must be Dante, you can tell us your talents in just a moment."
She shifts to a business like tone, “Now, for the benefit of our new friend, I will repeat: our target will certainly be tipped off that we are coming, and my first assignment for all of you is to brainstorm ways to ditch, distract, misinform and misdirect anyone who is going to be tailing us to our first objective. Which is meeting with Tribe. Feel free to get to know each other and ask questions as well, since it will be a long drive and then a short flight. Just keep the assignment in mind and be prepared to present your ideas when we arrive.”
“Driver,” she says, and the vehicle starts up and prepares to leave.

[ ooc - checks with the GM about a possibility - a suit / body mask - similar to what is used in Mission Impossible movies .. would it be possible to be working on that?]
*leans forward to look at the new guy, and nods and then settles back again. and pulls out the last pair of glasses and then offers them to dante 'thermal vision 75 foot range. no charge' *then settles back and thinks for a bit.
'loud hawaiian shirts under the trenchcoats? and do the various layers and disguises from there? ... turn jackets inside out. pay someone for their clothes in the can? .. costly, but it works somethings' *looks up again 'hey .. just ideas, i was trying to get something else up and running, but its not ready for field testing .. yet. otherwise .. white afro wigs and pink tinted contacts and become albinos?'

"I apologize Tiger, the brief was not specific, and Alexander didn't give me any information. I'm Dante, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve as well."
He takes the offered glasses and holds them in his hand for a moment as he closes his eyes, "Ah very nice work, I like the intricacies of your wiring patterns on the main board. Very precise work. Quite ingenious."
He nods in the direction of Shroud and the Magician, "Greetings gentlemen."

"Your welcome. Work this precise is rare now a days." As he says this the glasses disappear from sight. "everyone is after getting the job done fast. Its more quantity than quality usually. Nice to see someone who takes pride in their work. Never heard of the magpie cartoons, but its cool either way. My real name is Dante. My codename or whatever you call it is Cerebrum. Forgive me, I'm new to all this stuff."

*nods and settles back and looks at the back of shroud's head and then looks out the window briefly. ' ... it was suggested that i try to make it vocal activated. didn't get that far yet. unless a wall is brick or cinder or metal, it will go through one interior wall'
*looks back, the burned part showing, 'so .. other than a facial imager transducer .. i can't think of any other way to do the 'on the run' disguises, unless you want to travel by the sewers or something. oh right, i should see if i can download that info into the phone now ... '

"Disguises aren't an issue for me. Are we flying in under our own names though? That could be a problem."
