The Rise RP: Mission Three

I get out of the vehicle along with Whisper. Beta squad stays in, ready to drive the vehicles into the compound. I loosely let the DMR dangle in my arms.

Don't worry. FENRIS nukes change orders.

I stroll over to Hawk and Rubble.

Enough room in there for us?

I wave my hand backward to the Hog's.

=i chuckle=
Probably. Have any trouble finding the place?

(Wielder)
"The place that's burning as a great ball of glory right now? Hardly."
=I might've interrupted but.. it was true.=
=My hands pull up the sniper scope to my eye, watching the troops coming.=

=I follow Wielder, rocket on my back, and carrying my rifle=

"How am I doin' for my first mission?"

=I nod and chuckle=

Yes, ma'am, it's fine.

=I look around=

Just mind your step.

=heads to the helicopter on the heli-pad.=
=opens one of the crates being taken from the Helicopter.=
What the.... These crates are filled with sand.
=tips over the crate=
Nothing but sand.
=Sand is emptied from the box.=
Why would they transport sand via helicopter?
=Opens up the rest of the crates, all of them are filled with sand.=
All of these crates are filled with nothing but sand. Why would they go through all the trouble of transporting sand?

"Sync! What data could you find?"

"Bits of things. Some stuff on the... 'Native Scorpions', a load of biological stuff. Some on the desert, some wide area locations of the bases could be narrowed down with more time... And... Sand."

Sand. Odd. Interesting. But odd.

The breathing became easier over time, but he knew what had happened and what was to come, but for now his warriors mattered, not his personal health.

"Let us move, we still have two Outposts to clear out!"

He began to move swiftly and silently.

(Bunda Darma)
My lance followed Paarthurnax, with Jovac wondering how he will hold up. Not much noise was made other then breathing.
My wound gun wound bled immensely and annoyingly make a small but noticeable trail of dark purple.
=I stopped for a moment attempting to cover it.=

(Wielder)
The enemy troop are advancing slowly which is good, cause we have time to think.
"Sparrow. Permission to fire?"

Paarthurnax looked back to Bunda, who seemed to be covering his wound, that's when he noticed it, out of the corner of his eye. He pounced towards him tackling him to the ground as the shot fired and hit something else, near. Many shots could be heard, not just from the Infantry, but from some vehicles too, they were alert to their position.

"Recover, brothers!"

He grabbed his Beam Rifle, a magazine already loaded and he fired away, grounding a few enemies, shooting the heads off the foolish humans, he was a damn good shot.

"They seem to have vehicles, watch your flank. Golen, see what you can do about those vehicles!"

I shake my head at Wielder and wave to Beta.

Get those vehicles inside and bar these gates up. They're not in a rush so i doubt they're looking for a fight right now.

I walk inside the compound with Rubble, Hawk and Whisper. Behind us, Beta drive in and Wielder and Neon close the gates before barring them. Aegir and Sync are busy doing....Something. I wasn't really sure what.

Everyone's in. Good.

(Golen Dasra)
"Understood."
=I look for the vehicles location. It was actually hard to find in the spray of bullets. So I just fired a round or two at their general location.=
=One stops but the others keep going. I launched some more at them.=

(Bunda Darma)
"Watch your left flank Jovac! Yuma!..."
=That hurt. Completely forgetting a friend is good as dead. I sat down behind a good sized rock.=

=i look at the vehicles=
Looks like you made some friends. Anything good in that pile of metal?

[i]I stood fighting, well prepared but low on ammunition. I was looking all around and shooting, trying to ground as many as I could. It was hard, but sure worth it.

Nothing i'd trust you to get near Rubble.

I look around for Aegir but he's pre-occupied. Doing whatever it was.

Right, Rubble and Wielder. I want you two above the gate. You'll talk to them, if their in a chatty mood that is. I'll be up there covering from the tower. Beta squad will position behind the gate incase negotiations break down. Whisper, go help Aegir and Sync with whatever they're doing. Neon and Hawk, get those FENRIS Warheads loaded out of the vehicles and into one of the buildings.

=I chuckle a bit=

Aye, ma'am

=I then move to help unload the warheads=

=i mock sadness=
Aww, you're no fun, Sparrow.

=i laugh and start heading to the gate=

Naw. I just don't feel like becoming a crater in the ground along with this whole desert Rubble.

I head up to the tower myself, setting my sniper rifle up to lean on the wall. I watch the hostiles slowly still approaching

on it

=heads over to aegir and see's all the crates full of sand=

this is odd

=comms to Sparrow=
See what I mean? No fun at all.

I roll my eyes

Yeah. Trusting you with nukes would certainly be the HIGH-LIGHT of my life.

Hey! When have I ever abused my explosives?

=i get up above the gate and wait for the enemies=

Remember the APC. Yeah.

I leave it at that, focusing more on the enemies drawing closer.

=i grumble a small insult and hold my new rifle ready, waiting for the enemies to get closer=

(Jovac Donjen)
=I'm using the high grass for cover, occasionally jumping up and engaging.=
=I can't seem to find Bunda... oh there he is. I crawl over to him.=

(Golen Dasra)
"There! Firing!"
=I found it and fired as I said I would destroying a vehicle that I couldn't see easily. We're in a forest of some sort.=
=I hear troops everywhere so my guard was for my front, leaving my back vulnerable.=
Which is attacked.

(Wielder)
=I took my time getting atop the gate. But when I did I brought out my sniper.=

(enemy liason)
=i called up to the men on the gate, mentally sizing them up and judging the threats=
Hello there! May I speak to the commander?!

I comm Rubble, guiding him through the conversation

Tell them he's indisposed right now

(Rubble)
=i call back=
Sorry. He's indisposed right now. Can I take a message?

(EL)
=i reply=
No, no, I insist to speak to your commander!

Tell them no. They speak to either you or the sand. We can't risk this being an assassination attempt.

(Rubble)
No can do sir. Either speak to me or the sand.

(EL)
Is that a threat?! We will take this base back if need be!

Wave the comment off. They came to deliver a message, so why does it matter who it is to.

(Rubble)
What is the message? You came to deliver it, I'll get it to the commander.

(EL)
=i shake my head=
This isn't an assassination attempt. If it was, you and the man next to you would be dead. We came here to talk. Face to face.

=I continue to unload the nukes as I hear an altercation start to brew=

Terrific...nosy neighbors

=I keep my comm open in case something does go down=

Ha. I'd like to see them make one move toward hitting us. And yes. Talking face to face is what we're doing right now. So speak up or go away.

(Rubble)
We are talking face to face. Speak up or go away.

(EL)
=i sigh and walk back to the line of vehicles to talk to my commander on the radio=

(Rubble)
=comms to Sparrow=
Ma'am, orders?

Wait. If they make any suspicious movement, my snipers trained on their commander.

(EL)
=i get off the radio and kick the side of the vehicle in anger before walking back out=
We want our base back. WE...are prepared to negotiate.

They must have something else important here if they want it back so badly. Ask them what it is but do it slyly, and try to work it out while they're talking. They must know we have the FENRIS Warheads by now.

I shift my weight as one of my legs was going numb and breathe out slowly. I comm Aegir.

Aegir. They want this place so badly they're even willing to negotiate for it. Make sure you check everywhere for anything possibly worth value.

(Rubble)
What would you be willing to negotiate for?

(EL)
Name your price, and...it's yours.

Ask them for information. How many more Nuclear Warheads do they have. Whats with all the sand in the crates.

(Rubble)
How many more nukes do you have? What's with the sand?

(EL)
I said name your price.

Total and complete surrender of their forces?

I said it as a joke, but all the while i knew this negotiation wasn't going to end well.

(Rubble)
=i reply to Sparrow=
Ma'am?

(EL)
=i waited for a response=

I shake my head.

Ask for the information again.

=going over the Data Sync uncovered=
=Says quietly via the comm=
"I don't it's what's here now, that they're after, I think it's what's coming here..."
Clutch sizes, measurements, radiological data.
=Aegir goes over some of the graphs and pictures.=
This is why it wasn't that guarded, and why they had Fenris nukes here, this is a testing zone for.. Scorpions?
=Walks back over to the boxes filled with sand and goes through it more carefully=
Are these....the scorpion eggs that the....
=takes a short, sharp breath.=
=Heads back to where Sync had gathered the data=
=Goes through one of the reports, looking for a calendar=
=finds the calendar=
Biological weapons testing is scheduled for today.

(Rubble)
How many nukes do you have?

(EL)
That's not a price.

I scrunch my face a little.

Gonna have to speak up Aegir. What're we dealing with here.

I change comm back to Rubble.

Tell them thats our price.

=Via comms=
"I don't think it's what is already here, I think it's what's on it's way here."
