Military Evacuation Landing Zone

September 24th, 1998
2100 hrs


The military have already begin establishing a perimeter around the city, to quarantine the hot zone, as well as using the local National Guard installations and the United States Military to begin an evacuation of the city's civilians still caught up in the massacre. Given the Raccoon City Zoo is an established National Disaster Shelter, the military set the evacuation zone due north of the Zoo. By using the tram or train cars, they can enmass evacuate civilians with greater ease by way of the US ARMY's Chinooks...

2nd Lieutenant, Melissa Mao....

2nd Lieutenant Melissa Mao stepped out from the elevated office of the maintenance yard, looking rather relaxed for an officer, even if she was a junior one, given the fucked up state the city was in. "Well, look at that..." She cooed, looking down at the civilians who had arrived so far, being checked out by their medical staff and the like as one of the four Chinook helicopters departed with a bunch of civilians already.



She leaned against the cool metal railing, her fingers gripping the bars tight. "now," she continued, "what sort of riot dictates this level of emergency EVAC? Seems crazy to use up the tax payer's funds just for this... they don't tell us anything." The Lt. says with a sigh, and watched as a few children were being checked out into a medical tent. The sound of the helicopters, the distant sirens and gun shots, all very strange and surreal. Yesterday this place was a micro Albany, a Chicago- now look at it? It's like Kuwait City, 7 years ago... Mel kept the thought to herself. The 2nd Lieutenant took out her father's brass lighter and lit a cigarette before she wandered down for an update from her subordinates and her superiors.

Mel kept the thought to herself. The 2nd Lieutenant took out her father's brass lighter and lit a cigarette before she wandered down for an update from her subordinates and her superiors.

A red haired woman was having trouble lighting her cigarette as she looked over the relatively small LZ set up for the survivors to be evacuated. She didn't see any sign of her boy in this crowd, nor her Japanese vampire, nor an old scarecrow. Seems they are not going to try to evacuate by the normal means... Katherine 'Kitty' Thompson, aka Steel Iguana thought. She was from Special Operations Unit FOXHOUND, and she had been given her strict orders to seek out the three missing fugitives and decide if they were worth putting a bullet in their head, while also... looking about for something else.

She turned her big blue eyes towards a woman with dark, short hair. She saw the Lieutenant rank on her shoulders, and whistled to her, before waving her towards herself with her prosthesis- her entire left arm up to her bicep had been replaced with what looked like a bionic replica!



"Yo, L.T.," she began, easily enough: "...mind sparing me a light?" She says, showing off her unlit cigarette, a smile spread across her lips as she did so.

Melissa turned to the oddly dressed red head abruptly. "Oh right, you're one of those specialists who came in with the Army." The Second Lieutenant said as she approached the red haired woman. She felt around her pockets, before finding the brass lighter and shared it with the one armed woman... well, sorta. "Wow, that's a pretty fancy arm. Sorry for staring at it, just I never seen one with actual fingers before. Do they move?" She asked, curious about the tech. My superiors said that some people from a Special Forces group were aiding the Army Specialists, given the odd situation occurring. But this is odd times ten- she clearly has a missing arm but is still in the Army? And not even an officer at that... Mel thought as she handed the lighter over.

Kitty smirked, raising her hand and not only wiggled each of her fingers, spun the wrist a full revolution around! "Yeah, ain't technology amazing?" She chuckled, before taking the lighter. "Thanks for that, I owe ya." She says with a wink before lighting her previously unlit cig. Inhaling then exhaling, she handed the lighter back with her left hand, and nodded over to the helicopters. "We have helicopters these days far more silent, stealth capable and even able to take out F-18s, and yet the army sends in old birds like these." She sighed, puffing smoke before looking back out, past the tracks and into 'Old Raccoon' as it were; brick buildings and small streets bustling with life- and well, death. "The city looks pretty fucked to me, L.T." She said with a smile yet, taking a long drag from the cigarette as she leaned over the railing of the walkway leading down into the warehouse.

"I don't know whats to smile at, this shit's beyond FUBAR." Mao replied, leaning against the rail as well. "The Hell kind of outfit is FOXHOUND, anyway?" She asked, turning to the red head. Now on closer inspection, she looked no more than a kid barely in her 20s. She herself was pretty young yet, but she felt as if this red haired woman was younger than herself, yet a part of some barely heard of organization within the Army Special Forces.

Kitty didn't answer, her smile only becoming more broad as she hears her radio earpiece coming to life! She held her ear, standing erect, ignoring the Lieutenant before her. "Uh huh. Yup. A big mother fucker eh? Heh... sounds interesting. Not really into French cuisine, but frog legs sound fun right about now..." She grinned, before addressing Mao again. "Duty calls," she said with a giggle, before nodding as if she was speaking with whoever was on the other end of her receiver. "Gotchya. I'm heading out now, thanks nerd, IGUANA out." She then tapped the earpiece and turned to Mao again. "Well, Lieutenant Mao, it was a small and brief chat, but good luck to ya." She winked with a sloppy salute before she hopped over the railing, landing in a three point touch down to the ground below. She shot her head upward and smiled, before she got to her feet and began running down the tracks!

"HAWK to IGUANA, I have visual of the monster, its near the tracks on Raccoon Street Station. It's ignoring other civilians at the moment, but seems to have ingested somebody. I'm... sorta keeping it busy, over." Replied HAWK, aka the Nerd she was referring to earlier.

"Awesome, finally- something inhuman to test my abilities on!" Replied the eager Katherine Thompson, who continued down the track at a near full sprint! Full of energy this one was, she ignored some of the shambling 'zombies' that were close by, simply batting those who got too close with her left arm as her MAC-11 bounced against her right hip on its y-strap sling.

"IGUANA, don't get reckless! We still don't know what these things are capable of! Don't forget we have our own objectives and compromising your well-being isn't part of that objectiv-!" HAWK tried to iterate caution to one of his teammates before she cut the signal.

Kitty was too excited to answer, simply turning off the 'Chittering Nanny' while mid sprint! She did well not to trip on the rails, and made sure none of the zombies bit her when she retaliated with her back hand strikes and punches. She wanted to kill one of these fucked up creatures they spoke of in the debriefing!
