Operation Aruna

[moogaloo]

Reports have come in from our scouts in Louisiana concerning the rumours we heard around the time of the festival; rumours that've now been confirmed beyond any real doubt. SkyNET has a massive facility somewhere in their area, patrolled by large and frequent aerial formations of HKs and unknown naval assets - they're not sure what it's for or what it's holding, and neither are we.

Our friends and allies around those parts have been trying to make moves on it and the other SkyNET assets in the area, but they're getting hit hard by hostile human forces, especially in the Lafayette area. I'll keep it straight with you all, we're heading into new territory for us, and it's going to be a long and difficult operation. But the Cajuns have been good to us, and they're going to keep being good to us until SkyNET's a distant memory if we help solve this for them. Pack your shit tight, get yourselves sorted in mind and body, and get ready, because we're jumping from the frying pan, straight into the fire.

I wish you all the best, ladies and gentlemen. If I'm reading these reports right, we're all going to need it. ​

[moogaloo]

Bakersfield,

As of when you read this, we are to start packing up all of our possessions and making our way via convoy to Louisiana. Don't leave anything important behind. Steel yourselves for a long and arduous mission. We'll be passing through Texas on our way, and intelligence is unclear on what we'll find there.

We'll be gone for several days by my estimation. I wish you all the best of luck on Aruna.

Exodus is underway.





11:30PM GMT. TODAY. ​

​

Bakersfield,

We've arrived in force in the state of Louisiana. It was a rough jorney, and unfortunately I doubt we'll be getting much rest before we're thrown into the thick of it. Make sure you're ready for tasking, I doubt the NET is far behind us.

-Captain Ramos ​

EXODUS SUCCESSFUL

Spoiler: EXODUS SUMMARY

After nearly twenty six hours of travel across the dangerous wastes of Texas, Bakersfield and it's allies have arrived into the south of Louisiana. Accepting their donation of vital resources, the Trinity have given them shelter in an old model village a few miles outside of Lafayette. Besieged by federal remnants, specialised SkyNet forces, and the weather itself, Bakersfield dig in and prepare continue operation Aruna.

Prepare for Samael.​

 

[moogaloo]

Bakersfield,

It's been a tough week with the federal harassment but thanks to a joint operation between Bakersfield & the NASF, we've routed them from the parish. Reports are coming in of convoys retreating further up north, reinforcing the Rapides line. Thanks to the efforts of you all, we've even secured a series of guns to utilise in our final assault.

With them on the backfoot, we can unify our forces and push north through SkyNet's line just outside New Orleans. We're moving out soon.

I cannot and will not lie to you all: we've never been this far before. It will be dangerous, and we will lose people. If we do not try, we'd lose everything. SkyNet's super weapon must be destroyed, not just for us, but for everyone.

God Bless us all.

SAMAEL SUCCESSFUL

Spoiler: SAMAEL SUMMARY

With heavy fighting going on over the week, the federals and their officers have been captured, killed, or routed from the area thanks to strategic efforts from Tech-Com & it's allies. A successful operation to destroy their guns took place, with several being captured to assist in the final assault towards the RAINMAKER facility. Any captured Federals have been shipped off to Baton Rouge for trial for their crimes against the New Arcadian people.

OOC NOTE:

I am sorry this dragged on a little bit, but I had to take two days for myself at the start of the week leading to some things being dragged out. Now we're pushing towards the end though, and we're hoping it'll be a big one.

BEGINNING PHASE ONE OF WORMWOOD

10:30 GMT / 5:30 EST
TODAY
​

​

 

[moogaloo]

After hours of intense fighting, Bakersfield and the NALF have pushed SkyNet's defensive line further east. Leaving a countless amount of dead and wounded behind them, the combined forces push onwards to what remains of New Orleans and the super weapon: The Rainmaker.

As humanity marches forwards, nature itself is made to betray them; unnatural storms rage on through the night, turning the ground into a thick, clinging mud that makes traversal by foot difficult and by vehicle, impossible. A hot, humid atmosphere makes discomfort common, and at best everyone is forced to remain damp. SkyNet has taken the limiters off its weapon, and it grows more apocalyptic hour-by-hour.

If this operation fails then Louisiana will be reclaimed by the ocean, and SkyNet will let loose its weapon on the rest of America. . .

PHASE ONE OF WORMWOOD COMPLETE

INITIATING PHASE 2:

12 AM GMT / 7 PM EST
FRIDAY 06/12/2019

[thecatwhomines]

Bakersfield,

The Cajuns have hit a snag in their moves near the Rainmaker. They've taken a beating from the NET and the main assault's being delayed until tomorrow. We're moving off this trench hellscape and elsewhere onto the line to see what we can do to take a load off their backs, because we can't hit that thing without them. Everything you've heard about that facility is true, so don't take this as an easy break. We're still headed into the grinder when we hit the Rainmaker. Best of luck to you all, tonight and tomorrow.

-Captain Ramos

 

[moogaloo]

No second chances. No steps back. No surrender.

Our opportunity is coming, the eye of the storm is passing over our position and we will be moving forward whilst we have the chance towards the facility. We're not sure what's out there, but SkyNet has something we've never seen before.

This is the end.

WORMWOOD PT. 3 INITIATED
GOD HELP US ALL

07/12/2019
11:30 GMT / 6:30 EST

Spoiler: OOC SEGMENT

A little bit of an issue with doing the finale yesterday, but this is it. After this, a long week and a bit of Aruna will be finished and we'll soon be back to business as usual in Bakersfield. Hope everyone enjoys tonight!

 

[moogaloo]

After a decade of fighting man, machine, and nature, the freedom fighters of New Arcadia can finally bring their children to rest under a calm, cloudless sky. Without Bakersfield, Louisiana and it's problems would have been mechanically reclaimed by the ocean, and the souls of Tech-Com and its allies will forever be engrained into the hearts and minds of the populace. Thanks to their efforts a nation can step out into the new world to make a mark on history.

With great sacrifice, they have liberated the oppressed, fought back the looming dark, and secured an ally that will remain at their side until the end of time.

Now it's time to celebrate them.

As a small token of appreciation towards the soldiers who assisted in their war, the Trinity are hosting a festival to celebrate their achievements, as well as honour those who served with distinguished valour, and properly bury the fallen with the blessings they deserved. With SkyNet out the area and the Federals on the back foot, Tech-Com can enjoy a day of peaceful calm and a massive dinner in their honour.

WORMWOOD COMPLETED

OPERATION ARUNA SUCCESSFUL

Spoiler: OPERATION OVERVIEW

This is the end of Operation Aruna.

I'm glad I could've provided this to you all. It's been something I've wanted to do for a long, long, loooooOooong time and even with all the bumps in the road, I'm glad to have delivered something that was experienced by so many people. Truly, I am extremely happy with how this turned out, and we've got so many things to go off from here.

With this underway, we've now got a nice day of R&R for characters to recuperate, mourn, and develop without the looming threat of SkyNet & the Federal Government. We're going to make sure there is a nice, big ceremony tonight, where people can get together and do some cheers before moving us back to our familiar setting of Bakersfield.

If anyone has any messages for things like the outcomes, stuff their chars could have done otherwise whilst in Louisiana, and just general whatever, please hit me up on discord @ moomao#0001

Thank you all. I hope you have some great holidays.
