Mass Effect RP: The Aegis Protection Firm - Full

[Chicago Ted]

Vera:

Vera holstered her shotgun, as she drew an SMG, and fired a few rounds off at the mercenaries once more. Immediately some advanced, pushing behind closer crates when they were no longer under the threat of her Claymore.

Damn! If I lay off, they'll advance. If I keep firing, I'll bleed myself of clips!

As she fired once more with her SMG, she could feel the blast of a concussive round exploding nearby, sending her recoiling into cover.

They're almost on top of us!

"Online!" she could hear Rhyl yelling from inside the crate. "Engaging!"

 

[Chicago Ted]

Rhyl:

Rhyl slid down from the back onto the floor of the crate, and pushed back against the wall. He could hear Nelson at the front end, fumbling with the lock for the crate, as the mech came to life in front of him.

"Got it!" Nelson said as he pushed the left side door of the crate open. Within seconds of doing so, a round tore through his side, and sent him to the floor of the crate.

Rhyl could hear yelling from the mercenaries as the doors fully opened though. The sounds of the YMIR's machine gun came to life as it made its way out into the aisle of the warehouse. As he heard a rocket being fired, he ran to the doors of the crate, and shut them. He looked down on Nelson, focusing his flashlight on him as he tried to determine the extent of his injuries.

Dregger put up the best shield he could across a wide range. It was about 7 feet tall and 9 feet long. It was very rough but effective. Shields weren't exactly his specialty but he could hold it for a while if he concentrated.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Lux:

"Pull back!" Lux ordered to those close to the crate that the YMIR came out of. Anyone caught nearby by the machine guns it had attached to it, would leave behind a mess that would put his Shredder to shame.

Lux tried to give some covering fire to those drawing back. Once most were more safely back from it, he dropped behind a crate to switch the type of ammo his was using. He swapped from standard ammunition to armour piercing, and reloaded the Shredder. Once he was done, he could hear its footsteps as it was drawing closer and closer to him. Not even checking, Lux ran diagonally across the aisle, and between a few crates further back on the opposite side. He could hear the YMIR's rounds following behind him, and then glancing off his shields moments before reaching the other side. Even though he was only exposed for a short time, he could already hear his armour giving him alerts on low shield levels, and demanding that he stay put until they were able to recharge.

"We need those shields crippled," Lux said into his Comm as he holstered his Shredder for his shotgun, and fired a few blind shots down the aisle, hopefully finding the YMIR.

Rook:

Rook looked over from his behind his crate, and saw the shield Dregger was forming. He knew the Krogan wouldn't be able to hold it long against the YMIR, but that it'd be some of the only protection available for those falling back. Not hesitating, Rook holstered his SMG, and ran behind to Dregger and behind his barrier. He closed his eyes, concentrating once more on his Biotic strength, as a blue aura enveloped him. He put as much power as he could into reinforcing the shield generated by Dregger. It would buy them at least a few more seconds under the fire of the YMIR that they would need.

"Tell me if you're breaking," Rook said to Dregger as he still kept his concentration on the shield. "I don't want half of it suddenly dieing on me without me knowing."

"SHIT!!" John swore, as the telltale howl of a YIMRs guns rattled through the building. Looking to Wires he shouted. "Quit scarring the rent-a-cops and come on...this IS your specialty isn't it?" Without waiting for an answer, he took off running towards the firefight, swapping his rifle for his missile launcher.

Sprinting through the doorway, John saw Lux make cover just in time. "Fuck me sideways," he groaned as the mech turned towards him. Snapping a missile in the mechs shields, John dove behind cover as rocket from the mech went screaming past him.

"So lizard-lips, having fun?" He called to Lux, as he took another shot at the mech. "You can get mad at me later, for now lets kill this piece of shit!"

Paladin and Terina were still behind a set of crates, behind where the YMIR had arrived.

"Shit, shit shit, shit." his team had run into YMIR mechs when he was still with the Alliance, several good men went down to that constant constant barrage of heavy weaponry coming from it's arm. If one somehow managed to get you pinned, you were as good as dead.

He went through what he remembered about the YMIR, advanced shielding, half-foot think armor, heavy machine gun and rocket launcher on its arm. The strategy his team kept with was to keep flanking them mech, keep the YMIR moving and unable to focus on one target and concentrate fire on its head or back.

Paladin bought up his omni tool, typing in a key sequence he had been taught to avoid using unless it was absolutely necessary, but the presence of the YMIR seemed to make the cut. The program would divert power from his shields into his overload, doubling its effectiveness. but the procedure took time, it would be a good minute before he would be able to fire and he would be essentially helpless while it was going on. He wouldn't consider it if he wasn't with a team and currently unseen.

"Terina, I can drop its shields, but it's going to take a while to get ready, until then I'm a sitting duck, I need you to keep me covered while I power up a 'super-overload', got it?"

Paladin then brought up his comm. "Guys I can handle the mech's shields, but you're going to have to stay in cover and keep it busy for at least a minute. How's your position?"

 

[XxSummonerxX]

"Standard YMIR, heavy chaingun, missiles, heavy kinetic armour, more likely than not it has some heavy shielding. Brooks, gotta leave you here, I'll be back in a sec! EREBUS! STAY! GUARD!"

Wires sprinted off faster than anyone would expect from the (usually) stumbling drunk and ran into cover at the fight. "Paladin, Wires. We'll overload together on my count! Everyone else, get ready, I'll start hacking it, when I've finished, I'll let you know, please don't shoot it then."

Wires then turned and snapped at John "Yes, this is my specialty, I'm in the ZONE!"

Wires tapped a few buttons on his Omni-Tool to ready his Overload.

"Paladin! On my count! 3...2..."

Spoiler: OOC

lemiel, you can put 1! in your post, easier that way. Also, I'M BACK! Posting will be less sporadic now

 

[Laser Priest]

Santius ran, half-crouched to a better piece of cover. He spent a few moments looking at his pistol then at the mech. "What the fuck do you expect me to do?" he shouted.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Terina nodded. "Got you covered, Paladin." Ducking behind a crate, out of sight of the mech, she held her shotgun at the ready, then nodded at Paladin. "Time to go."

[lemiel14n3]

Paladin's omni-tool chirped as the process completed, then he heard wires over the comm

"Paladin, Wires. We'll overload together on my count!

"Got it Wires, I'm waiting your count"

Terina started leading Paladin to a position to hit the Mech, then wires started his countdown.

"Paladin! On my count! 3...2..."

"1", paladin ran out of cover towards the next crate, flinging his overcharged overload in time with the Salarians. As Paladin shot out his overload he screamed in pain as he felt the effects of supercharging his power, his arm felt extreme pain as electricity shot up from his omni tool and then went numb. he gripped his arm and resigned himself to only being able to use his pistol or SMG, at least for the rest of the mission.

A shower of sparks flung out of the YMIR and the bullets shot by the team no longer met with the "ripple" of active shielding. now they'd only have to deal with the armor plating

 

[Viking Incognito]

Herp Derp move along, nothing here.

 

[Athol]

Null post

 

[XxSummonerxX]

Spoiler: OOC

Unless I specify otherwise he's using a Tempest SMG, the second SMG from Mass Effect 2.
Also, can I recover the "body" of the YMIR? I have no intention of actually using it, it's just good story.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Spoiler: OoC - Hold

No offence, we need to put this on hold for a few hours until I can lock down either Axle, or Lemiel or both and get a couple things sorted out.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Esten:

Esten moved along above on catwalks as he watched the YMIR and its destruction below. He heard his Comms buzz with hastily drawn plans, as he tracked both its and Aegis's movements.

"Paladin, Wires. We'll overload together on my count!"

Esten readied himself as he heard this. He knew that the moment the shields were lowered, his sniper would be able to start tearing through the YMIR's armour. As he swapped his ammunition for his sniper, he could hear the countdown starting over his Comm.

"Paladin! On my count! 3...2..."

At the end of the count, he could see multiple overloads shot from several directions closing in on the YMIR. The shields flickered as the first two hit, before one, glowing even brighter then the rest and sparking as it approached, contacted the YMIR directly in its chest. Arcs of electricity shot off in all directions, as the shields were overwhelmed by the burst of power generated by the overload. Without hesitating, Esten made his mark, and started firing down onto the neck armour of the YMIR.

 

[Viking Incognito]

"Shit, Rook we gotta move. The mech is getting too close. Run on my count, 3..2...1 GO!" Then Dregger stopped holding the shield up and sprinted for cover. He ended up rolling behind a hunk of twisted scrap metal, narrowly avoiding a round o fire from the remaining smugglers and guards. He re-oriented himself and got down on one knee behind cover as he readied his rocket launcher. Then he got on his comm.

"Hey Paladin, is everyone clear? I have an opening to hit the YMIR with my rocket launcher but I'd rather not kill anyone on our side in the process."

 

[lemiel14n3]

"Dregger, take care with the heavy weapons fire, we're all pretty spread out, I don't have a good visual on everyone, or a tally on their locations. it looks clear from where I'm standing, but take some time to lock the homing function in. I'm going to try and get behind the human with the crazy shotgun, my tech's pretty much shot, but I can still use my Biotics, and Terina is here in case she still has backup."

With that, Paladin signaled Terina to move on, trying to stay between the crates, the YMIR and eyesight of the ***** with the shotgun.

Spoiler: ooc

Just for the record Viking, a rocket launcher will dent it up pretty bad, but it's not going to be enough to go through the armor.

Also you guys do still need to keep an eye out for the smuggler leader, her guard and the guys in the crate that used to hold the YMIR, as they're are all still armed and active

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Terina moved forward, holding her shotgun up. "Let's get her taken down. This place is annoying me." At her words, she spun, spotting a guy leaving the crate that the YMIR arrived in. Both herself and the guard fired at the same time. She had a shotgun, and he had a machine pistol. Luckily, she had more shields up than the guard, but his bullets drained it quickly. While she hit the guard in the chest, one of his bullets nicked her armor, rupturing it and cutting through her side, exiting the other side of the armor. Groaning at the wound, she held her shotgun with one hand, using the other to conceal the wound as she followed Paladin. "Let's finish this quickly."
