Squad-level RP

[DeadlyMiddie]

Jamison was literally shaking with the suspense. He sent a high-frequency beam transmission to all the operatives,"The sensors have spotted a convoy near where Markas went down. You are still under orders to retrieve him. If that is impossible, complete the primary objective, then retrieve him. Evac is not an option. Yet. Jamison out."

[Phalanx]

Lance fired a volley of emergency flares via a remote feed, hoping to distract the enemies from Markas. He sprinted towards the convoy's last documented position. He smiled as he saw only an APC and a tank had been left behind to hunt Markas down. He knew he could not approach the vehicles without being detected, so he selected the targets with a laser designator through some meager underbrush, although an orbital strike was impossible at this time. Picking up the laser on their sensors, the tank and APC fled from the nonexistent orbital strike. However, it would not be long before they came back, as no orbital strike would occur. "Markas! Get out of here!" The two soldiers ran promptly to the designated AO.

[Professor Fenway]

In fact, half of the squad hunting Markas had not seen the flares through the rain. They were still combing the field. And Lance, due to the rain, did not see them either. Markas did not see Lance at all.

Instead, he neared the closest tank. He lay in wait for a minute in some underbrush before jumping out at the tank. He slung himself onto the barrel of the cannon, putting himself out of reach, and stood on top of it. He gunned down the turret operator, and then dropped a grenade into the unit. The tank was instantly stopped. He considered entering it, but instead jumped onto the nearby second tank. A good thing too- it had shot the first, blowing it to smithereens. Markas shot the turret operator and then entered the main compartment, killing the operators inside. He then commandeered the tank.

He turned around and fired several pulses at the other tanks, leaving them crippled and useless. He then put the tank into gear, found the main road, and began heading to the compound at top speed. Sensors indicated the compound was guarded ground-wise by heavy lasers. Good. They would be diffracted and rendered useless in the rain.

"Shit, whispered Keith, after he saw, that most of the pods have been destroyed.
Many painfull seconds there was nothing, then he saw the flares, and special infantry fire.
Keith:" Reynolds, descend and then fire all the pods we have."
Reynolds:"Why?"
Keith:"I'll go and help them."
Reynolds:"I will launch them when you say it."
Keith ran to a pod closed the door and said: "GO".
10 drop pods fall to the surface, all on autopilot except for Keiths pod.
AA fire, explosions, clouds, heavy rain. Finaly, ground, a hard landing.
Keith to everybody I'm on the surface.

Keith to Jamison, we lost 15 pods, but they are replaceable.

Keith turned around and ran to the location, where he suspects the captain of the team.

OOC: Can i enter as a "Dropped in other area for recon" ? I was ill

[DeadlyMiddie]

That's fine lightspeed. It won't interfere with what has happened so far. (ok, it might a little bit, but that's ok).

[Error]

Error wondered if he was the only one to have landed without taking hits. Shaking off the buzz of the drop, he set up a surface-to-space transmitter.

"Oi. We've lost 2, possibly 3, troopers on the way down. If I give you a lase, can you drop an orbital strike on that f**king convoy?"

As he spoke, he checked his gear and weapons.

[Phalanx]

Lance was combing for Markas when he ran right into an enemy infantryman. The enemy soldier recoiled with surprise, but Lance did not hesitate. He leaped forward with a yell and brought the man down with a quick stab with his knife. He saw a bright flash emit from one tank's viewport, and saw a shadowy figure leap to another tank. He realized that this must be Markas, and attempted to get his attention. His yells were not enough, however, and he saw as Markas hijacked a tank and drove off. Lance informed the squad. He proceeded to use his powered armor's enhanced running and jumping abilities to catch up with Markas. He used a combination of the Mark One Eyeball and IR detectors to identify Markas through the rain. He sighed, and decided to simply inform the squad instead of chase down Markas. He ran back to the small battlefield he had left earlier and grabbed a rocket launcher from a dead soldier, as well as a sniper. He then found some underbrush near the compound and was attempting to pick off any of the guards that showed their faces over the walls. He then proceeded to the AO, where he met Keith and the rest of the squad that had reported in.

[DeadlyMiddie]

Director Jamison Transmitting to Error: That's a negative on the strike; the wind and rain is to heavy, and we don't have proper planetary bombardment weapons. Sorry. Jamison out.

[Crash Override]

*Dropped earlier,3 miles of distance,he walked ambushing soldiers everywhere and feeding false patrol reports.With the sniper rifle,he killed from afar one of the turret operators,causing some panic among the place and identified something killing others,possible one of his friends with a sniper rifle*

-THis is "Spectre". Anyone Copy?

[Julo]

Keith: Lance, good to see you here. I already set up a communication beacon to guide the others here. I've also built another beacon, with motion sensors that is sending a warning on our frequency but on any other frequency it sends, that it is a waypoint and I put some grenades there, should give a nice firework.

Keith continued to listen if any tanks are around, but then he heard a voice.

Keith: Spectre? Is that you? Come to our meeting point, simply follow the sphere of light on your radio radar.

But there was another signal, it came definetly not from the team, but it was not very strong, more like a chirr from a cricket.
He went there to investigate it.

[Professor Fenway]

Markas continued to drive the tank towards the facility. Any vehicles he met, he blew up. After a few minutes, he came to the main gate. Thinking this was the convoy, the operators opened the massive titanium alloy doors. Bad move. Markas placed a shot in the main control mechanism, jamming the door wide open, and moved in. The ground defenses were not brought online quickly enough to stop Markas. He found the railgun system relatively quickly. Using the Harmonic Pulse Cannon on the tank, he took out the power conduit. It exploded, turning the railgun into a twisted pile of metal. Markas smiled. He started to turn the tank around then the entire thing lurched. Markas barely held on as alerts flared and the power failed. The dashboard caught on fire, and Markas decided it would be a good time to leave. He opened the hatch and stepped out, prepared for a fight.

He didn't remember what happened next. But it was important. He actually couldn't remember anything. Amnesia, that's what they called it in training. Wait, training? Who trained him? When? And why would he be locked in here if he's a highly trained operative? Where did that come from?

//ELSEWHERE//

Due to the intense weather conditions, Jamison had little knowledge in what was going on inside the enemy compound. But there were several detectable traces. A few power spikes, likely from weapons fire, and a large heat signature, from an explosion. Something happened. Jamison suspected Markas behind it. Nobody had heard from him.

A sensor operator spoke up. "Sir, we're detecting a ship leaving the planet. Stealth cruiser. We picked it up as it entered FTL."

[DeadlyMiddie]

Director Jamison On Ultra-High Operations Frequency and On the Emergency Frequency: This is Jamison to all operatives. Have you recovered Markas? If you have, the railgun is gone, so get out of there. If not, it is Priority Level Epsilon that you recover him. The dropship is standing by for retrieval. The weather has also cleared up, so we can fire a railgun volley on the compound or other targets. We are engaging stealth mode now, so make sure that your transmitters are on the UHF. Jamison out.

After two minutes, Keith found the signal source, a little logistics robot, nearly as big as a flowerpot, lying beneath an armored conduit, with a broken core.
The signal changed, now the robot transmitted a greeting and help request signal.
Keith: "I will help you, if you get me in your base."

The signal stops, but the robot does nothing.

Keith: "Are you intelligent?"

Robot: "Yes, I'm just checking, if my orders allow this extortion.

Keith:" Ok, I can wait, but you are damaged."

Robot: "Ok, ok, help me, there's nothing that would conflict with the first, second or third law of robotics, as I think you won't hurt anybody."

Keith took the armored conduit and pulled it up.
The robot transmits a signal and after 1 minute a logistics platform comes.
Keith: "Can you lie?"

Robot: "I know your mother."

Keith: "K, k, I'll go into controlled standby and if anyone asks, I was cloaked, and you hit me with the logistics platform."

Keith lies down on the platform and goes into C-standby. The Robot starts the platform. After 3 minutes they reach the railgun. There Keith spots Markas arrested by a lot of soldiers.
(OOC: No offense Fenway, but you destroyed a railgun in a stolen tank, I think that they send at least 5 platoons (250 soldiers!) and I think that a single man can't kill 250 soldiers, so no godmodding here.)

As Keith came into the base the enemy commander came, and asked the little robot why there is a giant armored robot on the platform.
Robot: "I was cloaked and then I hit him and and cloakhit and I I I hititititititit."

Commander: "I have greater problems than a broken robot, go to the tech bay and get repaired, oh and bring this robot to Nathan."

Robot: "YESIR!"

Keith sighed mentally. That was close. The robot brought him to the Tech bay and then flew away.
Keith activated again and found something weird on the ground. He picked it up and then contacted Jamison.

Keith: "Jamison, I found Markas, he is arrested, but I am in the same bunker as he. Get the other guys out, I found a drop ship in a hangar here. So don't start the invasion. I will get Markas out of here."
