<hr/><div class="floatleft">(http://jawbreaker.nyc/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/JDW6.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Bishop<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The X-Mansion, setting up the interception<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Sept. 8th, 3:00 PM<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Psylocke, Jean Grey, Hijack<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Explaining mission roles<br/><hr/><br/>Bishop was just watching the news as pro-mutant protests were growing in support in Manhattan when he was sharply interrupted by Charles. The message was fast but efficiently explained. Bishop needed to gather a small team, who Charles would alert, and get to the jet to intercept an in progress arms robbery. The other four were informed to head straight to the sub-basement and meet Bishop for the debriefing en-route. Luckily Bishop had learnt to, with liberal use of the advanced auto-pilot, fly the jet himself. And having Hijack on board was always helpful for that anyway, it was near enough impossible to crash between him and Jean. They would have taken more, or at least more teachers, but most of the X-Men were being held on duty out of concern about the protests turning ugly.<br/><br/>Bishop jogged through the mansion, making his way downstairs and getting to the jet. It was always prepared for rapid response, and they had no time to lose here. This sounded like real, dangerous, military level work. Everyone they were up against would be well armed and highly dangerous, particularly Sabretooth. To this day that name bit into Bishop and many of the X-Men with him like no other did. What he had done to the old Logan was utterly unforgivable, and caused Bishop to shake with rage if he dwelt on it. Right now he made sure everyone was in and ready, speaking in an authoritative voice as he made sure they realised the gravity of what they were walking into.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As the jet prepped for take off he began explaining his plan of action to his squad.<br/><br/><strong>"Alright, people, this is the real thing. About as serious an operation as you'll ever find. I need everyone here to focus carefully, as we are facing multiple armed threats who will shoot to kill."</strong><br/><br/>He looked around him, and felt concerned. He wanted soldiers, and he was sorely lacking. But these people cared, and trained, and he trusted them to fight beside him.<br/><br/><strong>"We're intercepting a van, and trying to focus on disabling everyone inside. Our goals are going to be split up person by person, but we'll achieve them as a team." <br/></strong><br/>He turned to Hijack first.<br/><br/><strong>"You're up on stopping the van. Preferably safely and slowly, just park the thing up and kill the engine stone dead. Don't try anything fancy to mess with what's in it, if they've got explosives it could be a disaster."<br/></strong><br/>Next up was Psylocke. Gifted, and experienced, but still very young.<br/><br/><strong>"You're on the two Gamma mutants in the van's cab. They're the driver and the passenger. One's got claws, one's got scales. Neither of them are too bad, but they'll be armed and they'll go for the kill. Try and knock them down and out, lethal force is a last resort."<br/></strong><br/>And finally Jean. She was near enough the definition of raw power, but she knew as well as anyone that restraint was vital.<br/><br/><strong>"Jean, you're on the Thermokinetic in the back. Freeze his mind, or shatter any ice he creates. Just focus on making sure he doesn't hit any of the other three. And try to keep it safe."<br/></strong><br/>He hoped he didn't condescend to her. She knew he respected her self restraint and control a great deal, but he wanted to make sure she knew he wasn't underestimating her, he just wanted to give her a manageable objective that would let her practice holding back.<br/><br/>Bishop had intentionally left the largest and most dangerous target for himself. Sabretooth was an old enemy of the X-Men, and in reality Bishop had a little personal vendetta against him. But more to the point while powerful the other four with him had no resilience, and no way to physically match up to the giant. At least Bishop was reasonably close to his weight division, if a lot less strong in a cage match.<br/><br/><strong>"When we get on site we'll be loading into cars, getting armed and armored with whatever you need and can use. Don't pick up something you can't shoot straight, though."</strong><br/><br/>And with that, he was done. Everyone knew what to do, and all that was left was to finish the flight. It might've been a long one but fortunately the jet was absurdly fast. It wouldn't be more than an hour before they were ready to get out and get to work.
