[Icuownage]

Not an actual action I just felt like roleplaying.

 

As my body impacted the freezing water I stiffened. Breathless. Luckily the current carried me to the shore where I steadily gathered myself.

 

The distant explosion and grinding metal sound brings a grim realisation.

 

I grab my radio and utter into it

 

Captain! Come in? Captain! What's your status over? *Static* "I repeat. Captain what is your status?" *Static*

 

I click a button on the radio

 

Command! November Hotel 4 reporting. A severe disturbance has caused our heli to crash, requesting evac and search team. I repeat. A severe disturbance has caused our heli to crash one mile from the Alpha LZ, requesting evac and search team. *Static* "Comma-" *Radio fritzes*

 

God dammnit, going to have to do this by myself until I can secure a radio from the crash site. Shouldn't be too far.

 

I put the radio back onto my armor and ready my pistol. The fog is dense and I wish I packed a flashlight.

Aaaah, love this game. I've actually been thinking about it, and planning a game that's a bit similar in style but has a very different setting. 'Course, not gonna do it soon. Archi was wise in pointing out the difficulties of hosting multiple games at once in the Tavern, with this and Delta V I think we'll all be occupied for a while.

[Retech]

2025 please? :)

[Icuownage]

This game IS pretty win, but it'll have to be a weekend thing for me, I am taking my school life more seriously :P.

[paul191600]

Sadly I am rather busy today, so I won't be able to host.

[Retech]

Okies. :thumbup:

[Retech]

Session please Paul? I'd really appreciate it. :)

[paul191600]

On a break at work, in about 5 hours I will be home.

[paul191600]

3 people's actions to start. (double post yeaahhhhhhhhh)

[Retech]

Here!

[Seraphi]

Heeerree.

 

Enigma looks at the abandoned airstrip from afar, checking for signs of life.

[Retech]

Kimako continues trying to hack the database, and tries to contact HQ again.

[paul191600]

Enigma:

You scan the airstrip, but the entire area looks burned and lifeless. However, you spot some signs of activity from freshly strewn ash on the airstrip. An eerie fog begins to roll in, and you quickly find the entire area enveloped with a thick veil of fog.

 

Kimako:

Despirately, you continue to hit your radio to contact the commander. Over the heavy static, you can barely make out "*static* I- *static* I re- *static* anyon- *static* squads?! Ca- *static* bac- *static*" The transmission fades to complete static. Meanwhile, the technician manages to crack into some more of the database, with only the core files remaining.

[Nexaduro]

I draw one katana with my right hand, sheathing the other weapons, and hold it at arms length. I switch back and forth from thermal vision to see which makes it easier to see and whether the fog disrupts heat signatures. I then get into a low ready stance a bit back from the entrance, stealthing.

 

Is there more than one entrance to the building?

[Retech]

Kimako activates her scanner to see if there's anything interesting about the fog, before trying to finish cracking the database. Then she asks, "What have we learned from this database?"

[Earth]

I head out to the quarry after thanking the ecologist and accepting his mission. I keep my machete out and ready to use.

[Seraphi]

Enigma takes his two handguns and puts a fresh clip into each, keeping them held up as he slowly approaches the airstrip.

[paul191600]

Varius:

You scan the entrance of the building, but cannot see anything. Fortunately for you, there is only one main entrance, and a skylight above. Suddenly, a squadmate hollers, "I--I think I saw something moving!" Everyone jumps on the alert, edgy and afraid.

 

Kimako:

The scanner picks up nothing, as there seem to be no anomalies nearby. You glance over at the technician, who seems to have cracked the final part of the database. When you ask him what it contains, he scratches his head and responds, "It's a bunch of scientific gibberish, seems that someone was keeping records of the egghead's scanning and logs. I'll have to send it to a local ecologist to be deciphered."

 

Earth:

An alarm goes off in the bunker, and several mercs start scrambling, heading to the different defensive stations.

 

Enigma:

You slowly approach the airstrip, your feet crunching on the dried ash. The fog is thick and you breathe in the moist air.

[Retech]

Kimako asks the technician to upload the data onto her scanner (or some other data storing device) to give to her, so that she can stop by the ecologist base and drop it off. Then she checks outside. If it's all clear, she heads back to Duty Headquarters to talk to the leader. Otherwise, she ducks back into the bunker and waits.

[Seraphi]

Ares continues walking along the airstrip, checking where he thought he saw movement before.

 

He keeps his guard up.

[Nexaduro]

Well, if the thermal was messed up by the fog then I switch it off, if not I leave it on. I grab a knife with my left hand and back up to give me a good view of the door and windows. I crouch down and try to cloak myself in the dark and fog.

[paul191600]

Kimako:

The technician nods, plugs your PDA into a USB cable, and begins uploading the data. He then states, "It will be some time, there were quite a few large files." You glance outside, and have the sinking feeling that there will be some complications getting back to the HQ in these conditions. Suddenly, you hear a ruckus in the main entrance...

 

Enigma:

The fog is incredibly thick now, and you can only see a foot or two in front of you. You decide to go off by ear, cautiously continuing towards the unknown noise. Suddenly, you are tripped up by a charred skeleton.

 

Varius:

You grab your knife, crouched near the back of the room. The AR specialist suddenly goes, "Did anyone hear that?"

There is a crash from the skylight, as an invisible force grabs one of the medical team guards. In a panic, you swing your knife, hitting something a split second before the screaming guard is hauled out the window. The muffled screams abruptly stop, and you notice blood dripping off your knife.

[Retech]

"Oh damn."

 

Jen loads her pistol and crouches silently, listening intently to figure out what the ruckus is all about. Then she asks the technician if there is some sort of other exit besides the main one.

 

Then she checks visibility in the building (is it foggy or is it clear?)

[Nexaduro]

I draw back and crouch, stealthed, out of the guard's line of fire but also in a position giving me a view of the skylight and door. I warn the guards to cover the windows, staying a bit back so as to avoid being struck. I suggest someone set up some sort of spikes or a upended blade under the skylight and keep it's position in mind.

[paul191600]

(Last post for the night, sorry for the short session)

 

Kimako:

You try listening carefully but everything is dead silent. The technician tells you, "I think there might be a maintenance tunnel entrance somewhere in the back rooms, but I'm not sure." Fog begins to slowly seep into the building.

 

Varius:

The guards cover the windows, and one of the men sets up some shards of metal to act as a sort of spear-trap. Your thermal goggles pick up something outside the door and you take a shot, apparently hitting the intruder.

Enigma:

You manage to get yourself on your feet again. As you get up, you hear an occasional mumbling.
