entering the machine shop Dakor began serching the remaining crates, he found another crate of ammunition for the rest of the team some more shotgun shells for himself and he found a civilian jeep. "hmm this could work, with some upgrades." pulling out a crate of spare parts he welded another layer of armor onto it and adding a gun turret to the back of the jeep he drove it out of the warehouse before opening the rest of the crates,

kicking the last crate open he found yet another box full of civilian shipments "damn nothing else useful In the warehouse" he said over the com.
scrapping a computor he was able to get enough spare parts to boost the radio signal again and told the commander that he would now able to brodcast off planet.

"Return to base." Chris said to Marcus. "We're going to wait for the Zerg to attack full force. Once they're busy trying to get through Protoss defenses, we'll get behind them and attack their base."
He went over to Dakor. "You sure this'll work to get my message out?" He asked the engineer, looking at the makeshift communications device. "It doesn't look too solid..."

Drake, climbing even higher on the cliff, to get a better vantage point on the Protoss to keep an eye on them, like Chris Ordered. ?I no I could have taken out that templar, two shots, one for the shield, and one thought the head, bet the commander never encountered a high templar, dame psi storms?? Drake said to him self, as he swiftly climbed higher to the top of the cliff.

Puling himself up, and look over on the plateau, Drake?s heart skipped a beat, seeing 10 Zerglings huddled around a pretty large mineral deposit, and a happily spiking Vespine geyser lees then 10 feet away.

Drake ducked behind some nearby rocks, and switched his scopes zoom at 1:1.
?Shit? Drake thought ?close range combat? with melee unites, and I have a sniper with a 5 round clip and a pistol and knife thanks a lot god??

Drake placed his rifle I an opening in the rocks and looked through the scoop, not use to seeing his enemy at this close range made drake nerves, but he saw that the Zergling where nicely lined up, his .50 caliber gun could rip thought them all in three shots.

Drake took aim and fired, first shot three Zergling went down two dead, one badly injured, he took his second shot and two went down, now they no what?s going on an charged, snarling and angry. ?Shit shit shit?? Drake shouted empting his clip in three more Zergs, the last two jumped him ripping into his armor. Drake grabbed his pistol in one hand and his knife in other, emptied his magazine in the Zergling on top on him and he slumped over dead. Drake jumped to his feet lighting fast, and lunged at the other Zergling, they both slashed but Drake was faster, and he killed it first.

Exussted and badly injured, Drake grabbed his rifle from the ground and headed back to the machine shop.
?Far death to?Com?ander zreg contact? top?cliff, need medical assist?
climbing down the cliff, hurt all the way?

Spoiler: OOC

I guess Base is not moving to the Protoss then. So I'll remain back at the settlement.

Boomer picked up Drake's static transmission. "Shit, we got a man injured!" he thought to himself. "Standby Drake, Medic is inbound". He picked up his stim pack and medic gear and moved as fast as he could to the fallen sharpshooters position.

Boomer's medical training kicked in rapidly. He placed Drake flat on the ground to study the damage. Drake was covered in blood and had multiple lacerations across his chest and arms from the Zergling claw attack. His armor had buckled under the force and blood was pouring from the wound. Boomer administered a pain killer first to reduce the pain as he prepped a serum to clean the wounds and prevent an infection.

"You're going to be fine!" he said to Drake with a reassuring smile. "This might sting a bit". The serum was injected and Boomer soon applied the coagulant gel, to prevent further blood loss from the open wounds.

" A bit of medical gause, should keep the gel in place. Try not to move suddenly, we don't want you to reopen those wounds till they are fully healed" He said finally to Drake. "You'll live, take these pills if the pain get any worse. It'll be a couple of hours before you are 100% recovered" he said handing Drake some painkillers.

"Someone get back to Drake's position and keep scouting." Chris said. "We need those positions."

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

"Understood Commander, I'm bugging out now". Markus slid off the cliff surface in a controlled slide, constantly watching for Overlords or worse the stealthy Protoss Observer. His psionic energy was draining fast. His HUD indicated he had about 37% of energy left to maintain the cloaking field.

He made his way past the cliffs as fast as he could, to put some distance between him and the two forces gathering behind him. "Guys, we don't have that much time if we are going to strike the Zerg while they are attacking the Protoss. From the looks of it they will engage each other in a few hours. I hope you guys have found enough ammo and fire power to take the Zerg out. I have a feeling we may need air support as well. I will be back in base in half an hour. Marcus out!"

 

[meglathon]

Sitting up against the wall of the machine shop, looking at the activity going on around him, Drake pondered all that just happened to him, he took out 10 zergs but now he?s out of commission for a while. His body hurt every where; he lost a lot of blood, especially coming down the cliff, He swallowed a pain pill that boomer gave him. At that moment he really wished he went with the armor instead of mobility.

 

[xxcloud417xx]

"This is Commander Chris James of the Confederate Omega squad, Hellhounds."Chris said in the comms device. "We have survived the Zerg onslaught but are stuck on Antiga Prime. The Zerg forces are currently under Protoss attack and both parties seem to be ignoring us for the time being. We plan to attack the Zerg to remove the infestation from the planet. The Protoss, on the other hand, seem to be ignoring our presence and I can sense that they're here to eliminate the Zerg. Requesting evac before I can test this theory though, I really don't want to get into a fight with the Protoss."
Chris sent the message and waited an instant for a response.
"This is the Battlecruiser Archimedes." A voice came over the comms. "We've gotten orders from top brass to pick you up after the crisis is resolved and that there are no more alien ships in your vicinity. Send us a transmission to confirm when you guys are in the clear. Good hunting Hellhounds."
Chris sighed. "Allright men!" He yelled to his solders. "Let's do what we've been trained to do! We're taking the fight to the zerg and burning a crater where there base was. Alright Marines?!?"

 

[Mr Fatherland]

So the Protoss and the Zerg are squaring up to fight. I would love to watch the battle, better yet, I would love to take part in it. All safe in my trusty tank. Thay wouldn't know what hit 'em. I really want to get me some Zerglings.

 

[xxcloud417xx]

"No holds barred." Chris said. "And there is nothing I would like to see more, after a day like today, than a tank blasting through those little bug bastards. All units remember though consider Protoss targets as friendlies until further notice."

ooc : No one make Protoss atack you please. I would like to get off the planet, after the Zerg are all dead, and keep moving with the Storyline.

 

[Mr Fatherland]

My tank roared over the rocky terrain with no trouble. The battle was already raging and there was no clear winner yet. The organised Protoss were picking off single Zerglings but on the other hand the Zerg swarmed over any defences. My tank reached the outskirts of the battle and the Zerg were now in range of my cannon. The tank tracks smeared Zerg guts all over the front of the tank and my cannon sheared the solid mass of bug matter like butter. I've changed my mind, THIS is the most fun I've ever had as a Hellhound.

 

[meglathon]

Drake got up and staggered his way to the ammo supply. Filed his sniper and picked up an SMG, this time if shit hit the fan, he?d be ready. Even though he was in a lot of pain, he wanted to be out there with his team. Drake jumped on the tank, and yelled at Roman. ?I?m hitching a ride, and no one is gona change my mind? got that Alpha Male?? said to Chris.

 

[xxcloud417xx]

Chris smiled as he watched the onslaught Roman was serving the Zerg. "Commandos." He said "Start a push through the Zerg infantry so we can get to those buildings. Medics, pull away the wounded I want them back to the battle as soon as they can. Use stim packs if you have to. Snipers Pick off any Overlords or command units."

 

[Mr Fatherland]

My tank started to belch black smoke. Why does this all ways happen to me.
"Chris, my tanks just broke down, shit, I'm right in the middle of the Zerg forces, I'm getting surrounded. Chris, Drake and I are in some serious shit.*static*-eed help.Quick."

 

[xxcloud417xx]

"Commandos Tank needs some defenses until we can get it up and running again." Chris said as he started making his way towards the vehicle. "Snipers cover our advance towards the tank, then re-target the command units once we're safely next to it."

 

[Mr Fatherland]

My assault rifle had long run out out of bullets. I was now reduced to taking potshots with my side-arm. Drake and I had managed to set up a field of fire in which no Zerg could walk in without a barrage of bullets coming his way. I saw Chris wading his way through the Zerg forces in his power armour. He had to hurry up. We can't hold them off for much longer.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Marcus was almost home and almost out of energy to maintain his cloaking field. He hadn't deactivated it in fear of being spotted out in an open field, where there was little natural cover. It was then when he saw the tank in the middle of the field belching black smoke.
Two figures were huddled near it in a defensive position shooting at Zerg forces that had come down from the mountain side. As he took a few steps forward he realised it was Roman and Drake. They were pinned down, and the commander was closing the gap to try and support the crippled machine.

"What a time to not have a sniper rifle" he muttered under his breath. Still he had some energy in his suit left and the gauss assault rifle with 10 rounds. "Time for some sneaky kills"

Marcus made his way closer down to the target and aimed for the Zergling that was nearest to the tank. The supersonic jacketless slug exploded from the barrel and struck the Zerglings square in the head showering the region in blood. A brief silence settled on the field, as the Zerg were at a loss as to where the shot came from. *Bang* a couple more beasts fell. They began backing away from the tank and moved towards where they thought the shots were coming from.

Marcus fired three more shots at a tightly placed Zerg cluster killing a dozen Zerglings but instinctively the thicker armored hydralisks moved in sheltering the Zerglings in an attempt to absorb the slugs. Marcus new that without the armor piercing rounds of his sniper rifle, killing the bigger Hydralisks would be next to impossible. Still he emptied his clip into the beasts and only managed to kill one of the brutes.

Roman and Drake weren't out of the woods yet, thankfully the commander was catching up fast. Marcus was out of bullets, in desperation he pulled out his combat knife. I haven't done this in years he thought as he charged the nearest Hydralisk, hacking at it's eyes and legs and stabbing wherever he thought the armor was weakest. The creature screamed in pain as it's legs parted with it's body. Marcus was about to land the killing blow when his HUD began beeping. Remaining Psi energy: 0%

"Shit!" the cloaking device began to power down as Marcus ran out of psionic energy. Withing minutes me became visible in the battlefield, armed with only a combat knife and staring at 4 hydralisks.

"Er!,..guys..a little help here??" Marcus began to back away slowly.

 

[Mr Fatherland]

Marcus backed into the killing field, there was now three of us protecting the downed tank. This was getting worse.

 

[zacaron]

loading the spare crate of ammo into the back of the jeep Dakor quickly drove out to his tank and picking up the commandos on the way arrived to find two of them shooting at the zerg with a pistol and the other one trying to knife a hydralisk. "here I got you guys some spare bullets, but take it easy this is the last crate I have." hauling the extra shells into the tank he quickly reloaded it and removing the engine casing at the back found the problem, fixed it and restarted the tank. "all done with the repair but watch your rear that tube was cut with a claw."
getting back into the jeep he called out "anyone want a ride back to base? or are you guys staying out here?"

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

"I need a ride out. I need my armor and me sniper rifle" Marcus replied. I'll grab a vulture if there is any left and get back out to the field ASAP. With that, Marcus hopped into the jeep and closed his eyes.

A huge battle was going to unfold when the boys get to the Zerg base. It was best he recharged his Psi now. He will be needing it later.
