WHO || The Knights & agents of SHIELD
WHAT || The Knights arrive at the Las Vegas facility...
WHERE || SHIELD HQ (The Harbor), a desert location near Las Vegas, NV
WHEN || March 2018
HOW || Actionspam


The acting Heads of the Knighthood - Hasmed and Solace - have made a decision that is not easy for many. Given the terrible state of everything happening in America, they've decided to relocate operations entirely to the States, and have secured a facility vaguely near Las Vegas: agreeing to work alongside the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization to find a way to take down Blade
. It is certainly possible, with the grim missions that lie before them, that many, or all, of the Knights may never return. Reactions to the announcement are certain to be strong, but it's time to choose what they will bring with them to their new life - and for some, to decide if it's a journey they can bring themselves to take.

Most of the facility is underground, and the Knights are each granted badges that will act as keycards to get them into the barracks area that has been sequestered for them in its own building (called the Enclave), as well as to access the other rooms that are open to their use. It is more or less similar to this, but scaled up in size to account for the larger numbers of people housed on base. There are separate buildings on the base compound for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (The Sanctuary) and for those members of Hellsing (The Bulwark) who have relocated as well. The entire compound itself is referred to collectively as "The Harbor". Peter Fargason will continue to run training drills daily, attempting to mold the Knights into a more efficient combat unit, and Hasmed, Solace, Koraith, Dovan, and Lis'sa will continue to assign missions to members of the Knighthood, ostensibly aimed towards slowing the tide of monsters and evil doers heading to Los Angeles and protecting Shadowkind in America from the "war on Shadowkind" being waged by the American government, as non-humans are being rounded up as potential threats to the country. Hasmed and Solace have assumed joint leadership of the Knighthood, and appointed no Dragon's Claw to replace either the deceased Sir Bancroft or the now gone rogue Sir Chessing.

Gone is the eclectic decor of the castle rooms, replaced by a much more uniform look to each assigned barracks, which, unfortunately, sleep two to a room because of restraints on space. Feel free to sign up for a roommate on the thread on this post. In fact, everything here is much more polished, state of the art, and modern, which is a jarring change from the castle. How well people adjust may depend on quite a few factors... but for now, they are free to attempt settling in.

[ Well, that gets her attention. She focuses on Darcy, trying to look her over without looking like she's looking her over. The woman doesn't seem familiar, and the way she's manhandling that instrument makes it even less likely that they've been in the same circles before the Veil. ]

I mean, vending machines wouldn't be necessary really. At least, they wouldn't be a good idea in a lab.

[ She cants her head to one side. ] Did you work for STAR Labs? Or Mercury Labs?
tasings: (7)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-03-09 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? [ Darcy, why.] I mean, put a cot in the corner and you'd never have to leave.

[ Her mind wanders to Jane and her face scrunches up. ]

Cancel that request. [ Again speaking like... she's talking to somebody listening in. ]

What now? [ Her shifty eyes is not because she's shady, just clueless. ] I "worked" for Jane? Our lab was ya know... a little more... kitchenesque?
trigeminalheadache: (207-010)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2019-03-09 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, food is just generally...

[ She trails off with Darcy's "cancel that request," taking the statement to mean "no, don't explain." ]

Oh. [ So not someone she's worked with before and forgotten. ] Were the labs back in London the first, um, [ how to say this without sounding insulting ] professionally and fully-funded labs you've worked in?
tasings: (embargo-10)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-03-09 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh? ] Oh I wasn't talking to you.

[ Do you really want the truth, though? ]

I'm not sure you can really say I worked in them. I wasn't there all that long before we came here. [ Well, she was around... in a vague sort of way. ] But pretty much? In my defense, I majored in Political Science.
trigeminalheadache: (401-027)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2019-03-11 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Political Science? That, uh. That doesn't usually parlay itself into lab work. How did you end up working, or "working", for Jane?

[ Maybe she doesn't want the truth. But she does? In a way. ]
tasings: (rpingicons-9)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-03-12 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I needed the credits. [ Shrugging like, it's what you do. ]

I'm her intern. [ A beat. ] Was her intern. These guys pay, so. That's a plus.
trigeminalheadache: (pic#11639357)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2019-04-11 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Credits. [ sure, there’d been credits she needed outside of her major, but she took art appreciation. she didn’t become an intern. ]

Oh, it’s always better to get paid. Getting paid in experience is great, if all you want is experience and to not actually live. [ a beat. ] What’s Jane’s field?
tasings: (embargo-8)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-04-12 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Probably stopped being about the credits several years ago... But ya know. It was supposed to be an easy requirement fulfillment. ]

Yeah, I've had my fill of experience salary. [ She was done somewhere around working out of Jane's Mom's kitchen... ] She's an Astrophysicist. She came up with this thing called The Foster Theory? It's all... wormholes and stuff. She's like a God of Science or something.

[ I mean. This side of the veil? She's kind of a big deal in intellectual circles. ]
trigeminalheadache: (308-025)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2019-04-14 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a spark of recognition flickers in her face at the mention of the theory (physical sciences 24). ] That Dr. Foster? Sorry. [ she shakes her head, looking sheepish. ] I haven’t really had much of a chance to be more involved with things this side of the veil. I, uh. I had a rough entry.
tasings: (embargo-7)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-04-19 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Darcy grins because I imagine Jane really loves being known as That Dr. Foster. ]

Ohhh. So you're Shadowkind. [ Nodding her head. ] Local. [ Jerking a thumb at herself. ] To the... planet? I mean?

[ Moving on, Darcy. ]

So how does a person define "Rough Entry"?
trigeminalheadache: (507-004)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2019-04-23 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ it makes sense that she—that they are local. or maybe she just tells herself that to make herself feel better. ]

It's... a long story. Sorta. [ caitlin probably looks uncomfortable. because she is. ] Life got a lot better when the Knights found me.
tasings: (rpingicons-2)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-05-03 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Not like I'm going anywhere. [ Twirling her finger around. ] Bunker. Seen one, seen em all.

[ Not that she's oblivious to Caitlin's discomfort. Really it's more like she notes it and then, dismisses it. (Sense Motive 24 + Will Save Crit Fail.) ]
trigeminalheadache: (222-059)

[personal profile] trigeminalheadache 2019-05-14 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh. oh, she's going to push. okay. she moves over to one of the work tables and drags a stool out from under it. ]

So. I came through the Veil at some random place in the middle of nowhere. No paved roads, no buildings. There's just scrubby grass and a cart trail. I pick a direction and start walking because it has to lead to somewhere, right? [ she leaves out the fact that she was already in rough shape when she crossed through. ] I must have walked for a day? Maybe two. I was... weak. Thirsty. Hungry. I must have passed out because I woke up in a little house.
tasings: (dreacons-4)

[personal profile] tasings 2019-06-08 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
A mildly beaten track makes the most logical sense. [ Leaning her elbows on the table as she settles in for the story, becoming more sucked in the longer it goes. ]

Why do I feel like rescued by a good Samaritan is not where this story is going?
