Miranda sighs quietly at Tiger's display and thinks 'I wish I could do that' She then walks forward slowly, keeping an eye out for any sign of trouble. (tag)

Walking through the garbage is an adventure in itself. Some parts are liquefied, some are hard as bone. Occasionally someone will step on a seemingly solid portion and slide in up to their hip, at other times what looks like a big puddle will prove to be a platform of hard melted plastic.
Patriot uses his swingline to keep out of the mess, and Tiger leaps. Both of them stop and wait frequently. Neither shows any sign of impatience, rather they use their pauses to look backward and forward for any sign of trouble.
The garbage choked street leads to a garbage choked intersection with trash in all directions. Further along the path their quarry followed is a concrete wall patrolled by armed men. The wall is twelve feet high with a draw bridge type door. Two men with AK-47s are visible on the top of the wall and there could be more behind it.

Though he could just crawl along the walls, Khris decided to walk with the others, though he was starting to regret it when he found a soft spot that sunk in to his thigh. He gave the others a 'don't say a word' look when he had to get down and fish out his sandal. Shaking it clean, he slipped it back on, sputtering the entire time. He glanced up at Patriot and Tiger occasionally, but the rest of the time he kept an eye on the others. He finally said something after nearly stepping in another sinkhole, " This is bloody ridiculous. They don't pay me enough for this crap."

Miranda simply nods in agreement with Shroud, and says nothing as she struggles through the garbage. Sighing, she thinks 'This was a mistake. I shouldn't have accepted this mission. I don't fit in here at all' (tag)

Tiger alights on a big piece of concrete next to those unfortunate enough to be walking at street level.
"Les Miserables" she says and she points to the barricade with the two guys with guns. "I'll bet they charge a toll to get through. What do you think?"

Khris nodded, " Odds are our money's no good if you're right about them knowing we're coming." He looked at the barricade. " I can distract them long enough for the rest of you to find another way."

*Jeckle has been quiet during the journey through the trash, having slipped once and sunk to the knees, she seemed to have been focused on where she was walking instead of walking. the fact that the scent doesn't seem to bother her immediately might be of interest if she was talking.
*she pauses to look at the wall with the guards and then at the others before pulling something out of one of the pockets. she attaches it to her weapon and raises it towards the wall as a small dish unfolds as she positions an ear piece to her ear then frowns as she takes the ear piece out 'too far to hear, sorry' *then she takes it off and collapses it once again before sliding it away.
'i could distract them with an arial type of remote if you're interested. or you can do what you guys do best and i'll try to keep up' *a half smile shows she's willing to try, but would be happier if someone could figure out what to do, because she's clueless as well as basically a lodestone about all their necks and worse, she knows it

Tiger looks at the wall again, "Those guys don't look very alert. They could be an unrelated group. For all we know the people we are chasing paid the toll or flew over and were exempt. We don't know how many are on the other side of the wall or posted in the adjacent buildings." Tiger turns to Dante, "Is there any chance they would take money and let us through, or will it require fighting? Can you discern anything?"

*Jeckle ponders this information and then nods and comments more to herself ' ... yeah .. it figures. it had to be a hover vehicle. explains the nonreduction in speed .. makes this journey that much harder and longer ... wonderful ... '
*she rummages in her pocket for a bit and comes out with a set of binox and examines the wall, the guards and the sides of the wall for any technical gadgets that might stop or shield the guards
*if there is any, she will comment quietly her finding for the others. going as far as to hand the binox over to whomever wants to look for themselves

One guard stands quietly, discussing something with someone who is out of sight. The other guard is listening to an ipod. They are both wearing Jacksonville Jaguars jerseys. The jersey numbers are 92, and 97 - and the guards look pretty big, though not huge - at least 6 feet tall and around 200lbs.
Each has a hand on their AK-47, which hangs down to their waist by a strap. There does not seem to be any technology involved in their operation. The guards probably have cell phones, but there aren't any sensors or other tech visible.

Dante shrugs, "not sure. I doubt that they would take the money. I can try to listen to their thoughts as they talk. If someone offers them the money, i can see what their thoughts on it would be, but no other way for me to tell. Chances are though they would take the money, then shoot us in the back as we pass them. This kind of scum doesn't wouldn't think twice about something like that."
Dante looks over to the guards, "now if we go to engage, I might be able to max out the volume on the ipod of the one, giving us a nice distraction as we move in and incapacitate him."

Tiger sighs, thinking that the others are right. "It is going to be a long walk if we stop for a firefight with everyone in this place."
"Jeckle, visually check all the windows near the barricade, I suspect there are other guards." The two buildings on each side tower fifteen stories up, with lots of glass.
"Shroud, sneak all the way to the other end. When I signal, take down the two guards on the barricade and then fire at will."
"Patriot, go up and cover us from above."
"Wind Chill, Dante and Jeckle. I will open the gate after Shroud takes down the guards. That will give the three of you a chance to run through the barricade. I expect there to lots of gunfire at that point, so be prepared to fight to the barricade and fight once you are through to the other side."
"Let's roll."

*Jeckle listens to Tiger's orders, but as she's digging in her pockets for the scope that allows her to peek thru walls, her simple comment to Dante says it all.
' .. note to self. Don't get Dante mad at you when usingequipment .. '
*she then shifts once again and keeping the bandage high and dry off the garbage, proceeds to scan the buildings for unwanted surprises and will inform the others of what she sees

Jeckle spots three broken windows near the tops of the adjacent buildings and four broken windows, two on each side of the barricade.
There are heat signatures from people at the lower broken windows and one of the upper ones, though no one is actually standing guard at any window. The people in those locations seem to be sitting around watching television for the most part.

'well ... according to this, there are bodies in there in the lower levels there. seems they might be watching tv .. and there is a window up there with a heat signature' *she points it out to anyone thats interested, and even goes as far as to hand off the scope so they can see*
