Turn 11 Rifle 2

Post by Nick » Tue Feb 13, 2007 4:14 pm

Date: 17th August, 2080AD, 2100 UT
Location: Barnard's Star, PT-554, Field HQ
Operation: Training Op
Mission timer: 04:10

There was no movement in the HQ what so ever. Suddenly the marines head a tremendous explosion from the South East. As they turn they saw the tower shivering, as if someone shook it violently. They with a piercing metallic sound it went down. It looked like a huge needle being stung into the earth as the tower collapsed into itself in a huge cloud of red-brown smoke. The roaring noise of the several hundred tonnes of metal being smashed was incredible. After just a few seconds the tower had disappeared completely and as the sounds rung out over the landscape all that remained was a slowly diminishing red cloud of rust particles.

Morrison left the gunner's station, and grabbed the first aid gear that was at hand in the APC.

"Wolf, we're going out there. Anything that isn't our fellow marines will get shot by us. Understood?"
Morrison then opened the side-door of the APC, and exited as quickly as he could, staying low and behind cover.

His eyes where darting from left to right, looking for any kind of movement. He clicked the safety down on his rifle, and tuned his radio onto his squad.

"Brent- do you have any movement whatsoever?" Morrison asked over the comnet.



"Wolf- cover to my left, keep and eye out for Jones and McKenzie- let me know the second you spot them."


The Gm wrote: After just a few seconds the tower had disappeared completely and as the sounds rung out over the landscape all that remained was a slowly diminishing red cloud of rust particles.


Morrison didn't register the first few seconds of the tower's collapse, but in the corner of his eye, he saw the sudden movement of the giant structure plummeting to the earth.

"Holy shit..." he hissed under his breath. Having heard Sgt. Steels Message earlier, he tuned his radio onto first squads channel:

"Juliet Zero Niner to Yankee One Zero- I just saw the tower collapse. We've had a hostile encounter, we've got two men and one K9 down. Field HQ is demolished. Over."

Eileen emerged last from the APC, just in time to see and hear the full effect of the tower's collapse. She ducked at the shriek of tearing metal as the structure collapsed, before realising the source of the noise.

"November Five Five, Yankee One Zero, this is Papa Bravo. The tower just went down. Do you have any casualties?"



Eileen turned to Morrison, "Enough's enough. This has gone way beyone what we're equipped to handle. We're using the dropship to retrieve recon and first squad and returning to the Costguana."

"I'll cover Bren while he stabilises Jones and MacKenzie and loads them on the dropship, you finish searching the area. Let me know if you find bodies or anything else that might help us work out what the hell's going on here."

"None as of yet." Commed in Jacob grimly "We're fairly trapped down here though it seems. I can't see a way for us to come to surface quickly, recon is checking the place out for us. We've got a couple of wall paintings you might be interested in seeing though..." There was a pause, and an exhalation laden with smoke was audible through the speaker "If we get out of here alive do we count as passing the training mission?" There was a forced joviality to Jacob's voice. He was shit scared - and masking it badly...

"Aye Aye LT."

(OOC, if the apc has cleared a path that bren can use to enter the building he will enter through that entrance, if he can't get around the apc, he will enter through the door he was covering)

Bren keept his rifle trained towards the entrance and entered the building, trusting the LT to cover him. He tried to find and stabilize the worst looking marine.

(OOC, do I have first aid supplies on me? If not, I will pick some up from the apc on my way in)

"Got it. I just hope that they can dig their way out of there, or that we can find an extract for them."

"Just load them up, we'll stabilize them on the fly. We've wasted enough time, don't you think? Do you want prisoners or not?"



Morrison paused to insert a fresh lump of dip in his mouth, and walked up to Bren, as he handed him a olivegreen bag, with a big red cross on it.

"Here. Thought it might come in handy."

Morrison then ventured deeper into the buildings remains, keeping a keen lookout for friend and foe alike.

Morrison could not see anything in the pile of rubble ahead of him.

"Vinnie, there's nothing here." Morrison dug the toe of his boot into the pile of rubble infront of him, and spat "first and recon are waiting for us, let's get a move on, ok?" Morrison tried to not make his voice betray the tension that he felt building up.



"Bren- do you need any help with the wounded?" Morrison spat at the gray dust between his feet once more "Wolf- what's your status?"

Eileen took a final look over what was left of the HQ and the oddly crumpled looking APC, then nodded, "Load the wounded onto the dropship. We'll overfly their last position first, check for any remaining hostiles."




"Carsson, it's Vincent. The APC's a write off, we need transport to the position of the looking tower. I want you to fly us over and identify the nearest landing zone. There may still be hostiles there, so keep the sensors on it and be ready to return fire."

"Affirmative Corporal. Two of us can get our guys out faster than just me."

Bren went to find the downed marines and pull them to safety outside the building.
