Iris opened her eyes and quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and ran outside, she opened her arms wide, "Ah ground!" she cried out happily.

Guns were snapped into sight as Iris ran out of the plane, Raphael quickly followed, "she is with me." He walked forewards to adress the commanding officer he had left in charge last time.

"Hey," Iris said nervously when she saw all thr guns pointed at her and quickly followed Raphael as he told them to stand down and walked up to another guy.

"is everything in order Veneratio, I trust Ion contacted you and everything is as it should? We will need a full briefing." Raphael looked back at Iris, a warmer look on his face.
"come on, you won't get left out of this one."

"Thankfully, I don't like the feeling of not knowing what's going on," Iris said blushing a little at the warm look and squeezed Raphael's hand briefly and letting go.

The two were lead down several long corridors and several flights of stairs inside the old castle. They were being lead by Veneratio and several others. Raphael was proud of the crew he had put together. They worked well together and should have most of the logistics taken care of already.
"tell me Veneratio, is that little toy of mine ready?"

Iris lost track of the corridors they went down and stuck close to Rpahel afraid of being lost and then shot at. Seemed strange a few days ago she was thinking how same old, same old her life was.

Raphael walked into a large conference room first, throwing open both doors wide to make his presence known. He looked about the room and walked towards a light table with a map on it. There were four men surrounding the table. All of them looked up at his arrival and then made a strange face when they saw Iris. Raphael dismissed them, "this is my cohort, she needs to know what you know."

Iris's eyes narrowed as she got strange looks from the men, she briefly read their minds and got several thoughts, one of being there just because of her looks, others of her being a woman and what good she would do, and one that made her blush in anger that she was merely there because she was fancied by the boss.
Iris let her anger go though, knowing it was her fault for picking up their thoughts. But that didn't make their thinking she was worthless go away.

Raphael shot everyone around the table a hard stare, grabbing one of them at random by the throat. "I don't care what you think, she is more capable than any one else in this room and if you fell like pressing the issue I am sure a demonstration can be arranged." Raphael pounded his fist on the table and Veneratio came up beside him. Veneratio personally had no feelings either way about Iris, he simply did as he was told. That was a good quality, it was one of the main reasons Raphael had placed him in charge.
"Now, where is he and what patterns have you established."

Iris watched as Rpahel grabbed one of the men by the throat and was defending her. Part of her was horrified at the display of violence, but then her other half wanted to tackle Raphael and covering him with kisses for doing somthing like that.
Iris sat down in a chair near Raphael and waited for the briefing.

Raphael was disgusted by insulence. He dropped the man and retruned his attention to the map as Veneratio adressed him. Veneratio pointed to several locations on the map indicating times of day and company included when the target was about. Veneratio was a good man, he knew exactly what Raphael wanted to know. He also had a tactical plan laid out for the two of them, and more if Raphael decided to mobilize a small group. Raphael then turned his attention to the wall where a supplies list and allocation roster had been started. Ion had done his job well, everything was nearly ready for thier departure.
"very good Veneratio, is there anything else I need to know?"

Iris studied the map, which included her putting on her glasses to see the finer details. She quickly memorized the map and the points on it, beofre sitting down again, anxious tp get going.

"this is where he is now?" Raphael asked as he pointed to the map. He looked at the supplies list. There was a lot on there. "it is just the two of us going, but I want a squad on stand by should things go south in a hurry." He looked at the table and used a stylist to circle the location Veneratio confirmed. The section of the map enlarged. Raphael began to study the compound.
"I think a southerly assult would be best, what is the status of gaurd emplacements?"

"I disagree, his office windows face to the south, and he constantly looks out them. But if we go Westerly, there's a large window we can acess, or the loading docks," Iris said.

Veneratio nodded in agreement, "she has a well founded point sir."
Raphael shook his head, "very well, more of the cloak and dagger. My armour?" Raphael asked Veneratio.
Veneratio smiled, "it is ready sir, waiting for you in your quarters."

Iris nodded glad that they had listened to her, "Now his alarm system can be taken out with a surge of electricity and it takes at least two minutes for the generator to warm up and begin working. That could give us enough time to get in, and maybe mess with the cameras to set up a loop."

"Camera loops, I think I want him to know it is us, and that he has little control. That is the beauty of it. If he can see us coming but cannot do anything to stop it. However I will concede it to you if that is your preferance." He turned to Veneratio, "I want you in the stand by team, select nine more of you best and most loyal."
Raphael looked back across the table at the three who had been chastised by Raphael. They all looked down avoiding eye contact. "do you have anything further to add, or has Veneratio covered your jobs for you in your insulence?"
The one Raphael had grasped by the throat stood up and cleared his throat. "yes sir, There is another obstacle, the outer perimeter defense. There are walking patrols set fifteen minutes apart walking the perimeter. There are also three watch towers stationed about the perimeter here, here and here." he pointed out. Raphael looked at the man, "how are you the only one who knows this?"
The man whos name was Dramus raised his head, "I scocuted it for you, to make sure our information was up to date. I took the initiative, and Veneratio supported my claim while no others would. These things did not appear on the thermal satalite image, they may have some other sort of camoflage, durring the day they are difficult to see, but at night thier shadowy outline can be picked out with ease."

"Raphael if you take the towers, then I'll take care of the patrols," Iris said, "What sort of armor do these partollers wear?" she then asked.

"Light flak" Dramus replied.
Raphael mused, "I thought this was a sneak mission, do you really want to go emiminating patrols so they can't report in while we are trying to get in with as little difficulty as possible." Raphael picked a point in between two of the towers.
"here, this is a blind spot, if we hit it at the right time, in between patrols there will not be a problem."
