Re: Turn 9: 2nd Squad, Making Entry!
A bead of sweat ran down Sykes' face as he stared down the gun barrel. It was a stressful situation, sure, but most of his job was dealing with stressful situations. Fortunately, engaging and communicating with people was one of his strong suits, augmented by training he had received. His objective ...

Re: Turn 8: Hostage Crisis!
Sykes heard Henniger's communication through his ear and decided that his team knew something was wrong. If they didn't, they would soon know when he didn't answer Henniger's communication. He decided to try and relay some information that his team could use. First he had to let them know that two o...

Re: Turn 7: Breach!
Danny Sykes knew he was in a bad spot. He drew back on his training with hostage negotiation. He inhaled deeply and clenched his jaw, hopefully activating his microphone to the rest of his platoon. <Roll: Agility? Espionage?> The Sergeant Major spoke in a calm voice, "No problem. I'm just going to s...

Re: Turn 7: Breach!
Danny Sykes followed Morse into the room. He followed his training and shouted orders in his best Sergeant Major voice. "Colonial Marines! Nobody move! Hands where we can see them!" The loud noise of the shouts would stun people long enough for his Marines to take control of the situation. He saw Mc...

Re: Turn 6: Lets Get a Drink
Sergeant Major Sykes saw the bouncer take cover and smiled. He was ready for some mischief to break the tension. The smile faded as he quickly made plans in his head. He would have to send some of his people to form a perimeter and cover the rear. He would need to leave some people to cover the vehi...

Re: Turn 5: Gear Up!
Sykes picked up one of the shock mauls and admired it. "This is pretty cool! Any volunteers I can test it out on?" He looked around at the Marines with a grin. "Alright, you heard the lady. Load those crates in the vehicles. That's one maul for almost everybody. Kelly, Davros, Paulson, take the shot...

Re: Turn 4: Roll Out!
"We don't have much Sergeant, but what we do have is at your disposal. We have plenty of sets of riot shields and shock batons and a few combat shotguns which can accept non-lethal loads. We have a couple of boxes of Capacitance Gel Shells and plenty of bean-bag training rounds which should do the ...

Re: Turn 4: Roll Out!
Sergeant Mayor Sykes, contact the local garrison. We are in need of non-lethal weapons. "Yes Ma'am," Sykes replied instinctively. He fiddled with the comms equipment as he was jostled up and down in the side seat of the vehicle. "Garrison, this is Sergeant Major Sykes, Daniel, USCM Special Forces R...

Re: Turn 4: Roll Out!
Sergeant Major Sykes' expression hardened and his hands clenched but that was the only outward sign of emotion. He could hear the anger in Lieutenant Harper's voice and knew that she felt the same way about this kind of scientific study. He had seen firsthand the atrocities committed in the name of ...

Re: Turn 3: Starting Out
Sykes watched as his platoon loaded up and listened to the spirited banter. That was a good sign. If everyone was relaxed it would be a more efficient unit. He turned to the Lieutenant, "We should probably split up, Ma'am. I'll ride with Fireteam 1." He climbed into the car he had affectionately nam...

Re: Turn 2: The Briefing
Like Morse, Sykes was pleased to be operating in tandem with other units again. He tried to let this enthusiasm overwhelm his pessimistic and embittered attitude of the last few days. Samantha called out; "Sergeant Hall here.....who're the UPP?" Sykes answered Hall's question before the Lieutenant C...
