MISSION ONE — DATA CENTER BREACH

(A reinforced elevator hums downward. Red lights. The five selected entries stand shoulder to shoulder as a holographic map flickers to life in front of them. The tiger cub stands on a crate, pointing with a laser pointer that’s clearly too big for her paw.)

Tiger Cub:
“LISTEN UP! THIS IS THE DATA CENTER. BIOMETRIC SECURITY AT ALL ENTRANCES, RAISED FLOORS FULL OF SENSITIVE WIRING—STEP WRONG AND EVERYTHING SCREAMS—AND AI DRONE SCANNERS THAT SHOOT BULLETS AT UNAUTHORIZED OBJECTS. YOU NEED TO STEAL OR WIPE ONE CRITICAL FILE. MAP’S YOURS. DON’T DIE. GO!”

She slams a button with both paws. The elevator jolts.

INSIDE THE ELEVATOR

Sue (studying the map):
“Okay. Server core’s here. Biometric gate here. Drones patrol in loops every thirty seconds.”

Ducc (floating hands hovering):
“Thirty seconds is generous. I’ve stolen sandwiches faster.”

Vadrina:
“I’ll take point. Quiet, fast. Gordon—eyes on structure.”

Gordon crouches, tapping the floor with a crowbar, listening. He points at a section on the map, then at the elevator floor.

Sue:
“…Yeah. Raised flooring here too. Pressure-sensitive. We can’t rush.”

Kira (adjusting his tie calmly):
“Efficiency over speed. Panic leads to mistakes.”

Ducc:
“Wow. I hate that you’re right.”

ENTRY POINT — BIOMETRIC DOOR

The elevator opens to a sleek corridor. White lights. A biometric scanner hums beside a steel door.

Sue:
“Retina, fingerprint, heat signature. I can spoof two, not three.”

Ducc’s floating hand extends, grabbing a metal pipe from the ceiling effortlessly.

Ducc:
“Heat signature solved.”

He holds the warm pipe against the scanner.

Sue:
“…Okay, that’s clever. Gordon?”

Gordon pulls out a small device from his HEV suit, slots it into the panel. The scanner flickers.

Kira:
“Someone’s coming.”

Footsteps. Two guards approach, chatting.

Vadrina (whisper):
“I’ll handle them.”

She moves like a shadow—one precise chop to a pressure point, another guard grabbed and gently—but firmly—lowered to the ground.

Ducc (impressed):
“Didn’t even mess up his posture.”

Sue:
“Door’s open. Move.”

RAISED FLOOR ZONE

The floor panels are translucent. Beneath them: glowing cables, pulsing faintly.

Sue:
“These panels register vibration and pressure inconsistencies.”

Ducc:
“So… don’t step?”

Vadrina:
“We have to.”

Gordon kneels, places small weighted objects—bolts, scraps—testing panels. He gestures: follow his path.

Kira (softly):
“He’s mapping safe pressure tolerances.”

Ducc:
“Silent guy’s terrifying.”

Halfway across, a faint WHIRR echoes.

Sue (tense):
“Drone.”

DRONE ENCOUNTER

A sleek AI scanner drone glides from above. Red lens scanning.

DRONE (synthetic):
“UNAUTHORIZED OBJECT DETECTED.”

Vadrina:
“Ducc. Now.”

Ducc flicks his wrist. A floating hand yanks a loose ceiling panel free and hurls it—not at the drone, but past it. The drone swivels, tracking the moving object.

DRONE:
“TARGET REACQUIRED.”

It fires—bullets shred the empty panel.

Sue:
“Go! While it’s distracted!”

They move fast but careful. Another drone descends.

Kira (calm, deadly focused):
“I’ll redirect.”

He flicks something small—heat-emitting—down a side corridor.

DRONE:
“UNAUTHORIZED OBJECT DETECTED.”

It follows.

Ducc:
“Wow. You’re scary.”

Kira (smiling faintly):
“I know.”

SERVER CORE

They reach a circular chamber. Servers tower like pillars. A central terminal glows blue.

Sue (already typing):
“This is it. Encryption’s nasty. I can wipe it, but it’ll trigger a countdown.”

Vadrina:
“How long?”

Sue:
“Sixty seconds.”

Ducc:
“Plenty of time to panic.”

Gordon:
(points upward)

Multiple drones begin descending.

Kira:
“Of course.”

Vadrina:
“Defensive positions. Non-lethal if possible.”

Bullets fire. Gordon shoves a server rack, creating cover. Vadrina deflects shots with her sword—sparks fly.

Ducc (laughing nervously):
“I LOVE THIS PART.”

He grabs a heavy console with his floating hands and hurls it into a drone—CRASH.

Sue (yelling):
“THIRTY SECONDS!”

Kira (placing something discreetly):
“They won’t follow us.”

The drones halt suddenly—one detonates silently, vanishing without debris.

Ducc (eyes widening):
“…You didn’t—”

Kira:
“No evidence.”

Sue:
“FIVE SECONDS—DONE!”

The terminal goes dark.

ESCAPE

Alarms blare. Red lights flash.

Vadrina:
“Move!”

They retrace their steps, sprinting now. Bullets chase them down corridors. Gordon tosses a gravity-assisted object that slams a door shut behind them.

Ducc (panting):
“Next time—less bullets.”

Sue:
“Next time YOU do the hacking.”

They dive into the elevator as it seals. Silence. Then—descent.

RETURN TO BASE

The elevator opens back into the undercover base. The tiger cub is waiting, paws on hips.

Tiger Cub:
“…YOU’RE ALIVE.”

Sue:
“Data wiped.”

Tiger Cub (tail flicking, pleased):
“HMMM. SUCCESSFUL. NO ONE DIED. VERY GOOD.”

She leans in, eyes gleaming.

Tiger Cub:
“NO CONTRAPTION… THIS TIME.”

The team exhales.

Ducc:
“…I really want to know what the Contraption is.”

Kira (quietly):
“You don’t.”

Gordon simply nods.

Vadrina:
“Mission complete.”

The doors close behind them as the rest of the entries rush forward with questions, awe, and relief.

END OF MISSION ONE.

if its forever nominations, then only some would go all the time, might want to equalise screentime

Noted
Entries who've gone last mission may not go for the next 2-4 missions

how about its 5 every time till everyone went then they all are reset?

sure

when does killer queen(yoshikage kira's stand) pop in
