1st Squad

CPL O’brien led 1st Squad down the hallways of the converted warehouse towards Kurosaki’s position; keeping his senses alert and his Pulse Rifle at the ready. Behind him; PVT Brown gritted his teeth at the pain his arm, but stayed silent and kept his VP 70 pistol in a tight grip. SSGT Simovic brought up the rear; his veteran instincts ensuring that no-one or no-thing was going to catch them unaware.

O’brien soon saw the obvious signs of a firefight, with several insurrectionist bodies torn apart by gunfire and numerous bullet and shell holes in the walls nearby. Calling out quietly with his rifle at the ready, O’brien hissed; “Kurosaki?”; to be answered by a weary voice hissing back; “Yeah O’brien, it’s me.” Recognizing the voice, O’brien turned the corner and took in the sight of SGT Kurosaki guarding the body of Patch and the unconscious form of Lionmane…

<Tag 1st Squad>
Simovic and 1st Squad moved along the darkened corridor their shoulder lamps casting eerie shadows along the walls. A smell of cordite revealed the area of 2nd Squads firefight before Simovic eyes took in the devastation. Sgt Kurosaki stood guarding he'd propped up the unconscious Pvt Lionmaine in a sitting position against one wall, a few feet away Pfc Patch lay dead. Simovic stooped down next to Patch's body and removed one of his dogtags and put it in his pocket, at the same time he said a quiet prayer. Patch had been a good marine, he'd been his RTO in previous missions and he counted him as a friend, he'd miss him.

"Kurosaki I want you to wait here, Brown you too. I'm going to arrange evac".

Simovic then clicked his comms to the APC's channel.

"Ironsides this is Streetgang 1 requesting evac. Can you get nearer to our location, if not can you contact Devil 1 and get it to land near our location, over?"

Once the shrieking explosions of the mortars had finished, Quinn looked past the door to gaze into the ruins of the room he used to be in. Smoke drifted off of the building across the street and he sighed in relief and toggled to the APC's channel to hear Sergeant Dugan sending a message. The medic waited patiently and kept scanning for additional targets. He saw the squad of tangos at the front gate of the medical complex.

"Target hit India, well done." he squirted over the comnet quickly. He switched over to his own squad tacnet.

<tag Dirk>

"Sarge, Bravo. I'll try to get to Three, but there's a few guys here that could pose a problem. Need reinforcements ASAP." Quinn whispered into his radio, and went prone in the second floor of the building, taking careful aim at the insurgents that he saw with his rifle. "Got what looks like four tangos at the front gate still. Too close for mortar support, might bring down the front entrance. If I scramble to Three's position, they'll see me and light me up. Hold, wait one."

Quinn dug in his gear and removed a single smoke grenade, grinning wildly once he found it. "Found a solution One-Actual, over."

<tag Dugan>

Quinn tossed the smoke grenade out into the street between the building he was in and the building that Shepard was in. He was sure that the four man squad of tangos would shoot at his position, so he had to move fast. Jumping from the window, he let his legs absorb the impact and tucked and rolled as best he could, grunting from the impact to his knees. He then darted for Shepard's position using the concealment of the smoke.

Patch had been a good marine, he'd been his RTO in previous missions and he counted him as a friend, he'd miss him.
Obi let out a sigh of relief when SGT Kurosaki responded in a low voice. Feeling the tension drain from his shoulders just a little bit as the rest of 1st Sqd caught up with him. The smell of pulse rifle fire hung still in the air and the walls and ceiling showed visible damage from where weapons fire had hit. There was a serious amount of rounds flying around this corridor. Obi thought as he noted the bullet holes and blast damage was peppered all over the place. His thoughts were interrupted as SSGT Simovic pushed passed him and moved over to the body on the floor. Patch Obi let out a long slow breath as his spirits sunk when he realised who he was looking at. Obi helped Brown into a comfortable position on the floor and got some water into the wounded marine as they both tried uncomfortably to give the SSGT some privacy.

Taking a quick sip of water, Obi replaced it in his webbing and moved over to where the SSGT had been and knelt down next to Patch.

"So long mate, I'm going to miss you." Obi whispered tenderly to his fallen friend as he reached out and touched him gently on the shoulder. Straighting up Obi turned out to see SSGT Simovic looking at him.

Speaking in a voice that arose from the coldest, darkest depths of hell, that one could feel the pure hate in it, yet it was so calmly spoken, Obi simply said. "It is payback time Staff."

Shepard reached for his helmet and looked at the dimple and thought "One hell of a first day." He grabbed the pulse rifle and with careful aim began to fired 3 burst shots on the rebels postion on the street.

Shepard ducked back down and armed one of the grenades he said to himself "Mr.Grenade is no longer your friend." He put his full force behind the throw and watched for any survivors or would be escapees with his pulse rifle.

Dirk slid the command chair to the screens that showed the Marines locations. It only took a moment to punch up the best rout to the squad.

"Streetgang 1 this is Ironsides. Roger that. We are in rout. Keep your heads down, we're comin in hot" Dirk said into the mic.."Han, our guys need a ride, lets go get me" Dirk said turning towards the APC's cockpit.

As the APC started forward Dirk grabbed his M-41A. When they stopped he would be ready to cover the evacing Marines.

April 2, 2180; Secret Bio-Cyte/Insurrectionist Lab, Daedalus City, Planet Icarus

Detached Squad

CPL Valentine led her 4 man squad down an alley and away from the rooftop that was raining debris onto the street. As she led her men thru the rubble strewn streets, she suddenly came upon an alley way that led to the unmistakable sight of a USCM APC with its mortar deployed. Her grin of happiness quickly disappeared when she saw a pair of Insurrectionists armed with molotov cocktails hurl them agianst the side of the APC; which suddenly blazed bright against the black night...

PVTs Lonebear and Betts were covering the rear of the squad when the firebomb attacks were made, and naturally it drew thier attention for a moment; a fatal mistake for PVT Betts. He never saw the insurrectionist that stepped away from a pile of rubble and put a long burst from a SMG into the young marine's back. PVT Lonebear spun as he heard the weapon's fire and his squad mate fell to the street on his face. Lonebear brought his weapon up as the insurrectionist turned his gun towards him; the two men in a race to see who would fire first...

<Tag Detached Squad>

Support Team; i.e. Shepard and Quinn

Quinn's smoke grenade exploded in the street and put up a thick cloud that the marine Corporal used as cover to run to the entrance of the building that Shepard was in. The marine was almost across the street when a shot fired from the rebels in front of the Biocyte building clipped him in the leg; causing him to half stumble, half fall ito the building entrance. Though the wound stung a bit; a quick check revealed that his armor had caused the bullet to just graze him and draw but a trickle of blood. Quinn sighed with relief and then pounded up the steps towards Shepard...

Upstairs, Shepard cut loose with several bursts at the four insurrectionists who had taken positons at the front of the Biocyte building. Though several of his bursts were close; he didn't hit any of targets; though he did manage to make them dive for cover under some of the nearby rubble. Shepard then armed a grenade and hurled it towards thier position, but was forced to draw back by ricochets from return fire from the rebels. The grenade exploded to unknown effect...

<Tag Quinn & Shepard>

1st & 2nd Squad

Simovic ordered Brown and Kurosaki to guard Lionmane and Patch's body, while he and O'brien moved in thru the open doorway when they heard the unmistakable sound of Morse's M41E2 cutting loose...

CPL Morse poured lead at the immature xenomporh, and though it managed to avoid getting hit for a few moments, eventually the stream of fire tore it to pieces. The shots ahd also shattered the thick glass and between flass shards and the acid blood of the blown to pieces alien; the room was in a tremendous mess. Captain Ramirez led out a quiet "Good shooting marine", when Morse quit firing...

<Tag First and Second Squad>


APC Crew


SGT Pitt ordered PFC Han to move the APC and try to get closer to the Bioctye Building and Han manuevered the vehcile away from the Harvester body; but couldn't get much closer due to the huge shell holes in the street. A moment later, the APC got much warmer as a couple of molotov cocktails crashed against the side of the vehicle...

"Detached! Move it up!"

*Corporal Valentine called her team up past the rubble to where she saw the APC, to some satisfaction she added in mind. Her expression changed however when her stormy blue irises lit up with the reflection of the roaring flames engulfing the roof of the vehicle. Coming to a poised slide, she skid her metallic greaves across the asphault and skirted herself behind some tumbled walling for cover.*

"Clear that APC! Tear em' up marines!"

*Valentine shouted out her commands to her squad even as she prepared to unleash hell herself. Using the cover to ready, and steady her M39, she ripped loose a spray of lead towards the two insurrectionists; hoping to cut them down where they stood with her team's assistance. She'd already began opening up when she saw Betts get mowed down by the ambushing rebel with the corners of her eyes. Already committed to the two down alley, she could only call the rebel out in the brief, tense fractions of a second, and hope they weren't drowned out in the excited flame and bursts from her weapon before they were either saved or tore into by the element of surprise.*

Leaving behind the wounded Brown in the care of SGT Kurosaki, Obi lead the way with SSGT Simovic following. Heading down the passageway of the complex the unmistakable rumble of an M-41E2 on full auto could be heard. Obi picked up the pace to a run as the gunfire grew louder and louder as he closed the position. Turning a corner the gunfire suddenly stopped as Obi and the SSGT burst through the doorway, fingers on the trigger ready to fire.

Obi pulled up short the the sight before him, Morse and Captain Ramirez standing there looking at the handicwork of Morses' M-41E. The burning smell of ozone assualted Obi nose as he looked at the source.

"Jesus Christ. Those things are running around now?" Obi said as he watched the black horror dissolve its way into the floor. Acid for blood. Fuck me. Obi thought, looking at Morse he asked.

"Hey mate, are you ok?"

<tag CPL Morse>


"Captain, you have any idea how many of these things they could possibly have breed down here?" Obi asked with serious concern.

With Betts down, the only thing for Billy Lone Bear to do was open fire on the insurrectionist that had put him there. He loosed a string of bursts from his weapon — squeeze, release, squeeze, release — just the way they taught him in basic.

His next priority would be to see to Betts and ensure the man was able to move and fight. And if not, that he could be dusted off in short order. But there was no time for that now. There was only combat.

Billy was acutely aware that they were exposed out here. In an urban environment every rooftop was a potential sniper's nest, every pile of rubble a firing point. They were lucky these insurrectionists had revealed themselves, but they would likely not be so lucky next time.

Twelve rounds went flying the insurrectionist's way. If he'd had time for a prayer he would have wished them to land right where they'd do the most damage.

Morse lifted the weapon up and leaned it against his shoulder. He checked his ammo counter. 267 rounds left. He’d fired 33 rounds at the creature in no more then a few seconds. The M41A-E2 was powerful alright, and that thing was pretty dead. Morse turned when he heard O’brien coming up from behind him. He was one of the more recent additions to the platoon, but that didn’t matter much.


He thought about exactly what the answer to this question should be. ”Fuck no! Shittiest damn birthday I ever had. Hell of a lot worse then the one when the dalai lama died, and there aint was nothin' T.V” Morse said. He was shaking a bit. He had considerable reason to panic around now, because he knew exactly what that thing was he’d shot. And he was hoping to high heaven that the one he’d killed was the only one.

He walked closer to the dead creature and pointed at it. ”Third one! Third one a these god-dang grasshoppers from hell I shredded. Damn things are big and tough pieces a shit. So what’s that tell ya.” Morse said as he moved away from it.

< Tag Obi

He leaned against a console as he was tired of being out here. If they were going to fight insurrectionists that was fine, but he didn’t ever want to see any of these damn creatures ever again. And in his experience, there was never just one. He just wanted some sort of tasking order, or something that they could do so he’d be closer to getting off world. He re-adjusted his helmet after collecting himself, moving back from his state of panic to his usual sarcastic aggressiveness.

”Can we get the hell outa this hunk a shit building now?” Morse asked sounding considerably exhausted. He wasn’t exactly having the best of days.

Obi pushed his helmet back on his head and let out a slow breath. "For what its worth mate, I hope its your third and last." Obi said softly as Morse moved away from the creature. He looked at it for a few moments longer before turning and following in Morses' wake.

Quinn stopped on the stairs to apply a quick, anti-bacterial field dressing on his wound. It wasn't life threatening, but he didn't want to develop an infection from this world. Having finished that, Sixtus shot up the stairs and landed right next to Shepard behind cover.

"Shepard." Quinn said in a terse greeting, looking over the other man while also consulting his readout on the man. He popped on the radio.

"Sierra-Golf One Actual, Sierra-Golf Bravo. Shepard has a mild concussion, nothing to do about it until we get back home, over."

<tag Dugan>

Sixtus looked sideways at Shepard once he'd completed his traffic.

"Helluva first day, eh?" he said while digging himself into cover even deeper.

"That doesnt even begin to explain it hang on one second." Shepard fire more burst at the rebels and sat back down reading the ammo he saw 67 shots left. He showed Quinn the dimple on his helmet. "I got shot in the head!"

April 2, 2180; Secret Bio-Cyte/Insurrectionist Lab, Daedalus City, Planet Icarus

Detached Squad

CPL Casey Valentine let loose with a burst from her SMG and watched as her rounds smashed into one of the rebels, making him dance like a puppet on a string for a moment before he fell to the ground in a heap. The other insurrectionist, which the marine noted was female, managed to drop to the ground and roll out of the line of fire. She had started to bring her own weapon up to fire at Valentine when a large hold suddenly appeared in her chest and she collapsed, motionless to the ground. Casey looked over and saw that PVT Winters had brought his M42 scoped rifle up and fired a well aimed shot right into her heart...

PVT Lonebear beat the insurrectionist to the punch and cut loose a long burst of LAPET rounds from his Pulse Rifle that tore the rebel to pieces. He let out a long breath of relief as he realized there was no one else lurking in the rubble around him. Noticing the sudden quiet, he turned back to the rest of his squad and saw that Valentine and Winters were looking back at him. Past them, Lonebear saw the APC with its side on fire and the bodies of two more insurrectionists. A moment later, the three marines heard a voice come over thier commsets. "Detached Squad, this is Ironsides; any more Tangos out there?" Valentine took a deep breath to steady herself and replied with; "Negative Ironsides, you're clear." "Roger that".

A moment later, the side door to the APC opened up and a Marine wearing SGT's stripes stepped out with a fire extinguisher and put out the flames clinging to the APC's side. When that was done, he looked over and saw the three marines, one carrying the body of a fourth marine. "The name's Pitt, Dirk Pitt. Get on board." Casey nodded and gestured her squad to comply...

<Tag Detached Squad and Dirk Pitt>


Support Team; i.e. Shepard and Quinn

Shepard took a chance and took a quick look towards the insurrectionists position at the front of the BioCyte building. He saw one of the rebels dragging a wounded man towards some cover and the bodies of two more who had obviously been shredded by his grenade. He raised his weapon to his shoulder and put a couple of well-aimed shots into the man on his feet, who fell to the ground in a boneless heap; causing the wounded man he was draggin to writhe in agony. Quinn looked up as well and saw that the entranceway to the building was currently clear of opposition...

<Tag Quinn & Shepard>


1st & 2nd Squad

Captain Ramirez uttered a heartfelt; "Amen to that, marine", in respone to Morse's last comment about getthing the hell out of the 'hunk-a-shit building'. Turning to Obi and Dugan, he replied; "It's good to see you men. It looks like one of the scientists bolted out of here with an egg and most of the computer records have been burned to a crisp. The good news though, is that Khan here managed to tranq the scientist who was here; so we'll just have to find out everything from him. For now, I say we get the hell outta dodge as fast as we can."

Turning to give out orders, he saw that Khan had allready pulled out every burned disk she could find and put them in a carry-all bag. It was highly unlikely that any information could be saved from them, but it was worth a shot. Striding over to the unconscious Scientist, the scarred face Captain lifted him up and over his shoulder with a grunt. Striding back out into the hall, he gestured for Kurosaki to pick up Patch's body and for one of the other marines to pick up the unconscious form of Lionmane. Simovic in the meantime got on the horn to the marines outside and called for an update; he found out that the insurrectionists at the entranceway had been cleared out and that the Detached squad sent to reinforce them had made contact with Pitt and the APC...
