A link for the first joint mission.
I will handwave the failtastic mission o7 It'll just be good thread fodder for later.

Do the handy-dandy camouflage abilities still work on these missions? Meaning that if you don't look human it'll camouflage you while on the mission? I figured I'd check instead of assuming because it not working would be hilarious to work with, honestly.
Who: Meliantha, Allumette Honeycutt, Johnny D'Amico, Serah Farron, Sikoyja, Sokka, Piper Halliwell (and others may join in!)
When: Earth, prehistory
Where: North America, Edge of the Great Plains near the Appalachian mountains
Mission Objective: Get food. Buffalo, birds, plants, water, things like that.
Success or Failure?: Success! I mean, there might be some issues with natives, but really, killing a bunch of buffalo, turkeys, deer, and get some plants and herbs and stuff. It's not terribly hard, but still.

Who: Tempest and Charlie Dyer.
When: 2010s
Where: Paris, France.Does this look like a date yet?
Mission Objective: They're mostly going to look for plants (and seeds) but they will also bring along "unusual" supplies such as shampoo, duct tape, belts, shoes, spices, magazines (both in French and English), lady stuff, maybe even a game console or two (and board games), etc. Charlie is versed enough in getting money in a pinch (either by pick pocketing or getting into some shady high stakes betting games all part of the detective life yo) so they'll be able to afford it all.

Where: Los Angeles, California!

ALTHOUGH you can always say one of them is glitching, if you'd rather play with the reverse.
Who: Asbel Lhant and Apollo (and her dog!)
When: 2012(ish)
Where: Romania (Danube River)
Mission Objective: Bring back beverages for the upcoming Thanksgiving feast. A trip down to the river turns to sneaking aboard one of the Ukrainian transport vessels whose crew has planned to steal their own cargo and blame it on "pirates". Also there's lots of wine, beer, and plum brandy.

Who: Kate Kane (gevurah), Huell 'Rush' Lamphier (infiltrative), Al Anselm (notadamnvampire)
When: 22XX, 8 years prior to the WSP's moon base project.
Where: West Point, New York
Mission Objective: Travel to West Point's Nuclear Science Engineering Research Center and avert the explosion that left the future lead engineer of the World Space Program's moon base project crippled and killed several other engineers. Thomas Holston, the engineer in question, was stationed at NSERC several years prior to joining the moon base project. There he was working on more efficient propulsion systems for missiles, but after the accident he became much less interested in designing and working with more experimental methods of streamlining energy use. Stopping the accident may reverse this and impact the base in the present to be more energy efficient, as well as make it easier to introduce new and improved ideas into the workflow in the past.
Success or Failure?: Success.
(note: this is mission #1 from the improve base's energy output missions.)

Who: Jan Valentine & Tobias Beecher
When: Soviet Russia, later years.
Where: oops. well. SOVIET RUSSIA. I guess that's a general time and general place. Moscow!
Mission Objective: At this time Russia was a major producer of industrial equipment, and among that, agricultural equipment. Jan demands any old mission, SURPRISE HIM, so they'll be assigned snagging some big heavy agricultural equipment and finding a way to drag it to the drop point.

Huehuehue yes that may be done. /strokes chin
Would they be able to switch devices? If so, that may work wonderfully. /cackles

Who: Joel + Ellie
When: 2010s
Where: US of A, Texas
Mission Objective: It'll go down during the night most likely, they got some pretty good experience in stealth and strangling and choke holds. Security guards won't stand a chance against them ;) they'll do their best to not kill anyone, simply knock them out.
Possibly raiding an IKEA, fresh produce + vitamins runs, snacks run, an instant coffee run, hitting up drugstores not only for stocking up on the medical goods for themselves but to add to the medical supplies for everyone else that's been put together. Also new clothes, proper shoes. Something like that.
Success or Failure?: Success o/!
How are they 'called back' to the moon? For example: if they get caught stealing it isn't like they can CALL the transporter to save their asses from the cops, correct?

Who: Jack Kelly, MAhdi Clare
When: October 1890
Where: New York City, New York, USA
Mission Objective: To steal food! Mahdi wants to find some fresh ingredients to cook food that'll cheer everyone up (literally; it's magic). Jack's there to provide distractions-- and, probably, convince Mahdi to help him steal some more food to bring back.
Success or Failure?: Success, please!

Who: Ruka, by her lonesome.
When: Late summer 2009.
Where: Beautiful Los Angeles, California
Mission Objective:
• Stated objectives: "research, investment, and development of potential resources," with a side order of a supply run.
• Actual objectives in the past: get her nails and hair done (hard to mask the scent of hair color in a moon base bathroom!), gamble her way to a thicker wallet, stay in a nice hotel where she can sleep in an actual bed and order room service, work on a tan, see a play, have an existential crisis and cry a lot, and maybe get a few things to take back with her.
("things" may include: new clothes; trail mix/dried fruits/compact and lightweight dry goods; a collection of sample paints from a home improvement store; a flip knife; makeup/concealer; a pound of coffee and a personal coffee-grinder as a present/bribe for the unfortunate loser stuck operating the transport pad on the condition that they not shout from the rooftops that she specifically was the person who gave it, at least not within hearing of other transports; cat...food...; a set of moon and earth globes, one each. this should fill no more than a single dufflebag; only the cat food would be donated to the cause).
• Actual objective for leaving moon base in the first place: being any-fucking-where other than around other Transports during Halloween. Hell. No. She has dealt with zombies and jackasses too many times to fall for this again. (And so that I can hiatus her guilt-free for the necromorphism plot at the end of the month.)
Preferred absence window of leaving on the 27th and returning on the 4th.
Success or Failure?: Success for her, "mixed bag" on her stated goals.

Please link the log for this mission here once it has been posted. In conjunction with the missions being run by other teams this month, the information brought back will be of good use as far as how the nuclear technology ended up reigning supreme with the United Earth's later day war machine.
