Sydney:

She grabbed her gear and checked it twice. Her father had taught her well. Packing the last of it she headed for the shuttle gates. She and Derek had always made a good team. Today proved that. To bad she couldn't stand the guy. He had this arrogance about him that just rubbed her the wrong way. Once he had accused her of following him. She had told him she wouldn't follow him if they were attached at the hip. It wasn't her fault that they seemed to think alike. This mission she was going to prove herself and show her father that his little girl could roll with the big dogs.

 

[Gateleader]

Aleex yawned and walked down the rows. she listened to each privates thoughts. She stopped infront of Vixen.
"Bitchin kick, Vixen." she said as she walked away.
Alex walked upbehind Wollfie."So where we going? And yes,yes, yes, no, yes, and not a chance in hell."
"Whhaattt?" He stammered out.
"Yes, I'm going with you. Yes, I can shoot a gun. Yes, I can read minds and know where to o. No, your mapps are not right. Ye, I am a bitch. And there is not achance in hell I'll sleep with ny of thse guys." Alex siad pinting ver her shoulder." Face it your stuck with me. WHERE you go I go."
Alex pulled on her uniform.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Heavy Arms: i stand Next to the Shuttle Entrance as they announce they are here
"Ok Boyz and Girls Lets Go!" i watch as all of the Privates get on the shuttle and i follow with the Leuteninnent at my back we all sit down to the mission Breifing witch i have already seen....

 

[Cryo]

OOC: the power suit is like platemail, in that it is big, bulky, and solid. it is like a space suit in it is one piece (when fully assembled) and airtight. it enchances strenght and speed, but limits movement like a space suit (but not as much).

"THis is Leutenant Carmen Ibanez. ETA to arrival at the Vally forge, 1 hour." the voice of the pilot was heard over the Com. Everyone arrived and strapped in, the boat sook off and flew to the carrier ship Vally Forge. soon after takeoff, Lt. Wolff spoke.

"These are our orders apes! We will join up with the Alpha and Tango squads on the Vally Forge. THat's right, the rouchnecks. Our three squads will drop down onto sector r4-2, 3, and 6. This is hostile grounds, so start shooting as soon as your out of the boat. The rouchnecks will penetrate the surface and attempt to capture a brain. We and the streetcats are to provide cover fire, and if needed, Backup for the rouchnecks" Wolff puched a button which brought up a hollographic map for everyone too see
"THis is our landing zone. Corporal, Alex, THis map is correct, taken not 20 minutes ago. The bugs have been rearranging the furniture, and in a hurry. Luckilly this means that most bugs will be workers, who can provide no hostil actions. The warriors though, look very much the same as workers, but are a thousand times deadlier. so don't even try to distinguish the two. Not even you Alex. Just shoot everything with more than two legs"
"Sir, yes Sir"
"We will have limited time to organize on the Vally forge. Don't do anything except go to our designated boat. you can trade stories with the rouchnecks when and ONLY when we return successfull. Now, loose your gum, loose your sunglasses and goggles. if it get's too bright, flick down your visor! you'll need it to analize such things as distances and numbers anyway. Sicon can't afford to loose their numbers, so stay sharp, and make your shots count."
"Sir yes SIR"

the voice came over the com again, "stay sharp boys, ETA to vally forge; 5 minutes;

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Heavy Arm:i went through my usual battle Preperations. going over the map in my mind a million times to make sure where the entrance to the Under ground is so i could cover it with Missle fire if needed. i checked my goggles and saw the new Layout...This is a barracade...they are smart, or the brains are. The barricades are set up in 3 by 3 formation with warriors in them we think, they could be workers but they could be warriors, makes no difference, i smiled to myself, they all seem to splatter the same. we landed and i rushed up and was out the door first as i ran for my Suit Just itching to try that Bad Boy Out i ran to it and Got inside as the door closed and all the systems activated, i changed the controls around to my personal preference and Readyed all the weapons systems. a little ahead of scedual but i wanted to let them know i was here ,that the Great Destroyer had come to town...

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen was surprised by Alex. The woman walked up... complemented her on her kick... and walked off. Vixen appraised her thoughtfully. Mind reader... she noted. That was the humming sensation she had noticed during training.

She obeyed Ltn Wolff's command to re-check her suit, but it irked her none-the-less. She slipped her sunglasses into her suit and pulled her helmet on. She didn't loose the gum, but she didn't openly chew it while they were getting their orders. Vixen stepped forward to inspect the maps. She wondered how wrong they were.

"Ltn Wolff, Sir... may I have a word?"
"Go ahead Malone."
"Should I follow the others upon landing Sir, or do you want me to cover them?"
"If there's an available vantage point... take it Vixen... otherwise... get into the middle of it... do as much damage as possible"
"Understood Sir... do I still await the order for Nuke detonation or am I granted permission to use my own initiative Sir?"
"Await the command Vixen."
"Sir, YES Sir!"

The carrier had landed.

 

[Cryo]

The boat arrived at the vally forge, and everyone got out. Seargent Flores led the way to the Drop boat. Everyone was pretty much silent. Good. Alex, that psychic bastard was making a few comments on peoples thoughts. It didn't slow anyone down though, so the LT let it go. The marauders went into the drop boat first. When they were locked in, the privates went in, followed by Flores and Wolff. Nearby, the other squads could be seen getting into their boats. The restraints were simple but secure. The boat will drop hard and fast, and everyone needs to be active as soon as touchdown itself.
When everyone was secure, the doors closed and silence reigned. the wait before a drop was always an eternity, and allways a good time to assess your orders, actions, and abilities. (hint hint)

 

[Gateleader]

Alex waited as the boat droped. She rubbed the back of her neck. Something wasn't right. Something was wrong. She ignored Wolff's comment about being a bastered. If only he knew. Alex rubbed her foread.
~Get out of my head, sir.~
~What is your statis~
We're droppig, now GET OUT!~
Alex hated when HE did that. Alex could fell the bugs below them. The brain was out there. so where...what? Damn she couldn't seperate the thoughts now. She felt the fear of the people around her. She'd have to wait tell they landed.She checked her weapons. God, I hate these things, she thought.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen watched the others with detached interest. Some re-checked their weapons, again and again. She wondered at that... was it some comfort to have something to do? She rarely checked anything more than once herself. She couldn't afford the luxury half the time.

Some of the others were too nervous for even this. They sat... fear... anticipation... intermingled on their faces. Still others, cocky as all hell, never seen any action before in their lives, but convinced they'll be conquering the world. Some others, had done this before, has seen the bugs... what they could do... they had dull, vacant looks in their eyes. Vixen wondered what she looked like to them. Sitting perfectly still, watching... waiting. Calm.

Her mind focused inwards then, already thinking ahead. Look for good point of visual range. Shoot anything with antenae that moved. Keep going, going, going... until they're all dead. She felt the slight buzz of adrenaline fill her veins. She was looking forward to this, she felt the heavy weight of the sniper grade weapon she held as well as the javelin. She really was curious about how destructive that weapon could be. The sniper rifle was a favorite of hers... she knew it backwards and forwards... could recognise the sound of it a mile off... but the javelin, that WOULD be a new experience... and fun... and it was rare for Vixen to think of things in terms of fun.

 

[Morgoth]

An incoded message buzzed in on Dima's watch." Dick, you are being transferred to the big gunman, you get a another oven as soon as you buy the shop, don't fuck yourself", was the strange message that buzzed in." Finally, they decided to notice my records", Dima said loudly to himself, then repeated the message, chuckling.

 

[poohlive]

Derek sat comfortably in the maurader. This was such a privilige, he didn't have the missile one, but still he was given a great piece of weaponary here. This suit was going to save his butt as well as kill some bastard bugs.
He quickly looked at the cumputer screen, everything was normal, as it was 5 minutes ago.
He hit the bar across the front lightly, not being able to wait for the drop. The two mauraders would be first, that meant he got a lot of the action. Killing damn bugs, wasn't that what war was all about.
He glanced over at Sydney, the poor girl. He had to make sure nothing happened to her. Somehow he thought she will be ok, but he still had to make sure. He didn't want anything to happen to the girl, even if she was a tag along.
Derek checked the screen for the thousandth time. There was a small red glitch, it was the right gun. He typed up a few keys. It seemed to be malfunctioning, Derek did a virus sweep, and rebooted the system. He looked at the screen again, there nothing, all signs were green.
Derek took out the breath he didn't know he was holding, and wiped his forehead. This thing might be awesome protection, but it was as hot as hell.
Derek looked outside, it would be soon...
He couldn't wait.

 

[Cryo]

Showtime

The boat dropped. the boat landed. the doors and latches opened. suddenly...

Everyone was outside. Weapons fire could be heard from the north and east sides. to the west, a horde of bugs could be seen rushing to greet them ever so dilligently. Suddenly, tine seemed to fall back into place and action needed to be taken.

"Marauders, Firewall!"
"Sir, yes sir!" the 2 marauders send plasma missled at the front lines of the bugs, blowing up into a wall of flame that the bugs couldn't penetrate for a while.
"Zelin, secure the south mountain ridge! Malone, when it's secure, climb to the top and find a damn target in the north and east, and take it out"
"I want a 3 X 2 cover formation in the western canion. Davenport, Alex, Jacobson, Marauders stand behind them and add firepower. Louis, Flores, climb the northeastern ridge and give me intel on the Alpha and Tango squads."
"Sir, this is Private Zelin. there is a bughole on the southside of this mountain, it's crawling!"
"Malone, fire a nuke into that bughole and Take cover! count to 30 then resume sniping!"

By then the firewall faded and the bugs continued to poor down the western side. will we be able to stop them?

 

[Morgoth]

"Sir, I request help down here. They'v got some new bug. I was upgraded to master gunnery seargent as of 1200 hours ago. I request at least 1 rocket launcher and two machine guns. I'll repeat it, they have some kind of new bug", Dima screamed over the com line.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen heard the command, she ran towards the bughole... shouldering her rifle she knelt several feet from the hole. Bugs crawled around, she was vaguely aware of laser fire around her as the other team members attacked. She wasn't distracted, but she was aware enough to be sure no bug attacked her unawares. She checked the javelin... cocked it on her shoulder and fired. Direct hit... she shot another in for good measure.

"THIRTY SECOND NUKE DETONATION!!" She yelled out. Those nearest, ducked for cover. She shouldered the javelin and had her sniper rifle at the ready as she scrambled towards some rocks that would give her the necessary height to cover the team. She heard and felt the detonation. She turned just in time to see green slime and dust errupt from the hole. She grinned. Awesome.

Once at a higher level she scoped the area. She steadied her breathing, chewing her gum. She scanned the ground... noting her team... her eyes scoping, taking in everything. This was where she came into her own. She looked through her sights and started firing. Every shot counted. Bugs trying to attack from behind found their legs blown away... their brains splattered across the dust. Vixen didn't flinch, didn't take time to glory in her kills... she just kept covering the team. Giving them the cover they needed to get through the swarm.

The team was making some progress. She realised she'd have to move to be of any use. She scrambled down the rock face and jogged forward into the fray, watching with composed detatchment at the mass of destruction on both sides. There didn't seem to be any end to the bugs... they just kept coming. She looked up... who was that? One of those hot-shots she recalled, there were two of them, guy and a girl, they worked together well she noted. She ran up along side them.

Derek looked over and saw her. "Any word from the Ltn?" Vixen asked them. Derek shook his head in the negative... he nodded towards a dark cavern North of their position.
"I was just saying to Sydney... that looks like a hive." He said. "Cover us." He commanded. Vixen didn't blink. She assessed the command and found it sound. She nodded in affirmation. She checked her rifle, without a word... she indicated they should go forward. She sighted them through her rifle.

Then she saw the biggest God-damned bug she'd ever laid eyes on. It was HUGE... like some sort of beatle on Super-steroids... it moved independent of the swarm and seemed to be protecting the Hive. Vixen swore. She let loose a few rounds but they just bounced of the thing. She looked for Derek and Sydney, they were making progress, but they hadn't seen this new bug yet... it was approaching from their right rear flank. "Shit..." she cursed. Without thinking she went for the javelin then remembered her orders. She would have ignored them only she had an idea. She sprinted towards the beatle.

She shot several rounds at it's head until it turned towards her. She started running away from it, drawing it away from Derek and Sydney. She scrambled back up the rock face as fast as she could. She dropped her rifle and the javelin between two rocks and peered over the ledge from where she was. The beatle had stopped, was searching for something to attack. Her she figured. She leapt from the ridge onto it's back. She couldn't believe how tall it was. Grabbing a grenade from her belt she found the natural split in it's carcase and shoved it in. It felt her and started to try and shake her off... it succeeded. She felt to the ground, winded. She gasped for air as she saw the thing peer down at her. She didn't flinch... she just continued counting down... "four... three... two... " she ducked her head under her arms... and felt the explosion. She peeked out... "one!" She finished. She stood up and realised she was completely covered in bug goo. "GROSS!" She exclaimed. Her digi-com blipped. She pressed the button... "Malone... nuke infiltration required, sector 4!" She flicked her hands trying to dislodge most of the slime. She scrambled back up the rocky ledge and collected her weapons. She hoped Sydney and Derek were okay, but she didn't really focus on that thought much. She ran towards sector 4 her breathing ragged.

 

[Morgoth]

Dima pulled out the little pistol he always had at the ready. He pressed a button on it and it quickly cutomized itself into a broiler. The nearest bug was quickly reduced to a pile of green blood. Dima quickly rejoined the rest of the group. "Did no one get my message? I requested three people support. Don't argue, I have been appointed master gunnery seargent. We need help on the East flank, looks like they got a brain bug over there. Thing is, they also got a lot of new bugs. Never seen them before", he shouted to the nearest trooper as he kept blasting the bugs.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Jim:Ah the Heat of Battle, The Sound Of the Nuke, The Machine Gunfire and the what not, two groups over ther, 6 grenades and no problem, Misslefire needed there. i started mech walking and firing heading to every suit that needed a little help and giving it and then some. i am heading for the undeground entrance where the Roughnecks have already gotten in i and 2 others aresupposed to stand guard. Guard duty. not as stupid as one would think...WTF are those! MIssle battery shot. 10 missles careen towards the group of these new bugs.Spattering them across the moon. Just another day at the office Boyz.

 

[Cryo]

"Listen up Zelin, I intercepted your transmission and I knew about your upgrade. But while we are here, on this moon in This battle, you will do as I say and use what I say WITHOUT Question! do you get me!?"
"sir yes sir" dima said grumbling.
"Good, now resume your original orders and secure the north!"

"Raynor, your orders were to hold the east past! if the Rouchnecks need any help, the'll Radio for it!"
"Yes Sir"
"Flores, Report!"
"no bug holed as of yet. The roughnecks allready went underground and the streetcats had some trouble with a tank bug, but little... What the fuck! Sir, 2 bug holes just opened up outide the East flank! Warriors and strange flying bugs just came out and are advancing on out flank!"
"Malone, confirm!"
"It's true LT. I have one of the holes in range, should I use a nuke?"
"Affirmitive Malone, take out that hole then snipe those flyers. Zelin, FLores, Louis, abandon ther north and hold the East!"

 

[Morgoth]

"Sir, yes, sir", Dima said heading east and blasting away. "The next bug to advance gets a prize", he screamed. A bug ran towards him," And your prize is... A shattered head", he screamed blasting away and sending the green ooze they called blood fly all over his suit. "Nothing like war, just me and the boys and thebugs... and chaos, destruction, butchery, blood, and explosions", he said out loud roasting a huge beetle bug which melted a boulder into a pebble.

 

[Cryo]

"Less Talk, More kill!" Leutenant Wolff emptied an entire clip taking out some of the Hoppers (the flying bugs) that came too close.

 

[Morgoth]

A huge bug smashed through the ground, it had two huge tentacles, razor teeth, 4 claws, two firespitting holes, and 4 enormous wings. "Sir, we have a serious problem down here. That new bug that I mentioned, is now up close and personal. The thing is like a mixture of every known bug except for the brain. I don't know what to hit it with. It looks like it has tough skin, though", he told the lieutenant. At the same time, the bug had picked up a soldier and thrown him into it's mouth, there it chopped down on him, sending blood all over Dima's visor.

 

[Cryo]

OOC; How much about starship troopers do you know? also, we don't have many troopers to spare, so let me make decisions like that.

IC;
"Raynor!" the missle marauder turned around
"Sir!"
"Empty your gatling shoulder on that new bug!" the super penitrative ammunition behind the gatling gun left a good number of holes on the new giant bug. "Derek, Use your flamethrower on it. The rest of you shoot off any limb you can see. Malone, Send a nuke deep down the eastern ridge. Exact distance is needed, so use your electronic tarteting sensor. "
"Sir, yes sir"'s all around. Wolff changed clips and sent some rounds into the creature's wings.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*I fired a huge missile barrage at one of the new bugs at it came down in a hurry*
"Hey Wolff! we got troubles over here! im bearly keeping this flank together! get Mallone into the West Bug Exit and Nuke it NOW!!!"

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen switched on her electronic targeting system. She really hated the thing, but it had it's benefits. She sighted the target. "Targeting Eastern Ridge Lt... firing... direct hit Sir... time to detonation... 30 seconds Sir... and counting!"
Wolff answered, "understood Malone..."
"Sir... Lt!!!..." Vixen's voice was heard... crackling with static.
"There's a problem Sir... detonation... but... it seems to have been... there is no nuclear reaction Sir... something's wrong!"
"Fire another round Malone... NOW!"
"Yes Sir!" Vixen fired another round... then another... feeling the cold sweat break out as both detonation's failed. "Sir... I think they've stopped the detonations somehow Sir!"
"SHIT!" Wolff growled
Vixen saw three of the flying bugs approaching, she hoped to God they hadn't seen her, but as they swooped she knew she wasn't that lucky. She pulled out her sniper rifle and fired. It took several shots before the lead bug fell to the ground. She watched in horror as the two behind continued towards her. "Fuck!" She cursed, scrambling for cover...

 

[Cryo]

Wolff aimed his rifle at the 2 hoppers attaching Vixen. They both fell, but not before knocking VIxen off of the ridge she was sniping from. Wolff commanded Sydney to help her while he radio's for help. "THis is Leutenant Wolff, Thema squad. We'rr under heavy attack and our ammo is running Low. We need reinforcements, Now!"
"Roger Thema squad. This is Tango squad. The north sector is secure and reinforcements are on their way. Hang tight"
"THis is Lt. Razak, Alpha squad. The Brain prooved incapturable and was terminated. Requesting pickup for all 3 squads"
"Negative Alpha squad. If you can't capture the brain then the rest of the bugs must be eliminated."
"Roger Vally forge. Thema squad, we're on our way"
Wolff snickered as he shot down 2 more hoppers. We were supposed to provide backup if they needed it. As they wated for backup, a bug got ontop of Derek and Ripped apart the marauder. Luckilly, Alex shot it down befor it could get to Derek itself. "who sais i ain't usefull" could be heard from alex as he pulled Derek out of the Mangled marauder.
"Sanders, Ready your rifle and start shooting some bugs. Malone, abandon the sniping and salvage ammo from the marauder!"
"Sir yes sir!"
