UNSS Nyx

[gallagherhjh]

sprinting towards Jamie's calls, Gallagher turned a corner, and slid to a crouch, wiping out his muscle re-generator, flicking of the safety, and watched the reassuring sight of synthetic proteins and nanobots mixing in the wound,

"commander! he shouted "soldier down, hostiles incoming on our position!"

And the extraterrestrial forces were bearing down, only Johnson could save them now...

 

[tom919]

Johnson Sprinted not towards Jaimes call but rather towards a slightly raised position off to the right of the cover Jaime and Gallagher were now crouching behind. Hitting the low wall with out being detected Johnson drew out his Assualt rifle and stepped out of cover. Immediatly he spotted two standing next to each other and slotted them in short order. Next one was off to the left very close to his two squad mates. The ET had only just noticed the new threat and was about to turn his gun on Johnson. Firing two rounds directly at the ET's head he killed it. The ET's hand compressed the trigger on his weapon and fired off a long spray just above Tom's head. "Gallagher stick your head up, can you see any targets in my firing arc?" Johnson dropped his mag and went for a new one. Empty. "Shit! Out of ammo switching to pistol."

Jaime saw Gallagher fixing her wound. she never liked it, but the bots had to give her an anesthetic strong enough to put her out for most of the operation. she had only been wounded once before, and that was the assault on Jupiter. she felt the needle like feet of the bots moving away from her arm, where she had been hit, and that meant that they where done. she stood up, or at least leaned against the piece of wall she was behind, and started shooting. she hear Johnson scream that he was out of ammo. "here! take this!" she tossed up a shotgun she used for clearing houses to Johnson.

 

[gallagherhjh]

risking a peek so as to follow orders, Gallagher tilted his head up, putting the pavements (sidewalks) lop-sided, and revealing fresh assault of ETs,

"m'bugger yes!" came the crackled and colourful reply over the comm channel,
ducking down to apply sealant to Jamie's raw hide, a bodge job that would last long, but in about 10 seconds of agonizing pain, She would be temporarily good as new.

 

[tom919]

"Shit!" Johnson caught the shotgun just in time to see the new wave of ET's appear. "Johnson to Nyx, Johnson to Nyx. Respond! Do you read? Marcus get your faarrkin arse down here now! We need a fucking big one! Nyx isn't responding! We're on our fucking own. Gallagher get your arse on the line now!" Johnson quickly engaged his stealth systems and sprinted down to the cover Jaime and Gallagher we're keeping their heads down behind. "We're fucked. Ground force to Boarding party. This is the emergency fequency! We need you to fire the ET's gun at them from orbit. Co-ordinates are 23.3 east 90.3 north hit the fuckers big!" He looked at Jaime and Gallagher and forced a smile. "Lets hope they don't miss." He stuck his head up again and fired off the rest of the clip making each shot count. Apparently the plasma based weapons the ET were using weren't the most accurate of guns.

 

[Rawker]

Laika's radio crackled to life and a familiar trill played in her helmet. The emergency frenquency."Ground force to Boarding party. This is the emergency fequency! We need you to fire the ET's gun at them from orbit. Co-ordinates are 23.3 east 90.3 north hit the fuckers big!" Laika switched back to public channel. "Copy, we're trying, Hang on." She looked back down at the quivering ET. The little basterd was hiding after his friends were wiped out. "Listen, you sorry carcass. Normally, I would waste you, but I wanna make a deal. You tell me were you keep the railgun and I let your sorry ass go. If you decide not to, well, then I'd have to let my friend Solomon here starting asking questions, and you won't like how he asks." Laika turned and gave him the 'Play bad cop.' wink.

 

[TheSentinel]

Sol shot her a nod of approval. Without speaking, he reloaded his machine pistol. But, instead of shooting the ET, he pistol-whipped it in the face.

"Speak."

 

[Rawker]

The ET stammered, and then caved. "i-i-it's in the hallway, in the r-room to the left. It's won't matter though, you'll never make it, we all ready know you're here." he said with a glimmer of hope that quickly died upon remembering the circumstances. "Doesn't matter, I have a better way." Laika shot the ET in the foot. the ET shrieked in response "WHY!?" Laika smiled grimly. "Can't have you giving us away, can we?" Laika nodded to Solomon and Repzik. "Grab on to something solid, I'm going to blast a hole in the side of the ship, and once the air leaves, we'll be in a vacuum and we can enter from the outside." she said while planting a detpack on the wall.

 

[TheSentinel]

"Hold on to something? Explosive decompression from this ship to an absolute vacuum would be devastating! 'Holding on to something' would be like hiding under a table in the middle of a nuclear detonation! I'm not going to risk that."

 

[CloggedDonkey]

"GT to BP, you might have more than one target, I'm picking up some fighters, or maybe even a cruiser. falling back to emergency extract point alpha, see if you can't get contact with the Nyx. over." she turned to Johnson "head back, I'll cover you and Gallagher." she stood up and tossed a grenade "I said go!" they ran across, back to the security room. Jame ran after them, but was hit again, this time in the leg. "go, I'll catch up with you!" she managed to get into the room with them. "alright, we've got to go. we've got to get back to the insertion point, but I don't think I'll get there. I'll hold them off as long as I can, so as long as the other guys kept this low profile I should be captured and sent to the ship, but I doubt that, so I'll probably die here. go before the rest show up. but one thing." she turned to Johnson again "mind giving me a kiss for good luck?"

 

[Rawker]

"Okay, then what do you suggest? Johnson and the others get mulched down there? I know it's a risk, but that's why we're taking it. I already know they'll be sitting that hallway waiting to blast us when we hit the door controls." Laika sighed. "trust me, if I could avoid the risk I certainly would, but right now it's our only hope."

 

[Pandalisk]

"Then blow the door instead" Repzik muttered casualy from across the other side of the room, prodding an ET with his foot before Punching a fist sized hole into its Skull with his shotgun

"Stand behind me if it makes you feel any better" as repzik hefted his heavy bulk towards the two of them

 

[TheSentinel]

"I say we go with Repzik's idea. Use a concentrated charge to blow the door inward. That should take care of any of them near the door. Besides, we have more than enough firepower to deal with any others."

 

[Rawker]

"Well, I guess a bigger boom might do the trick. Aren't we scientific?" she said, planting the charges. "Might wanna take cover. Use the smoke we kick up to our advantage. Laika waited until both were behind cover and detonated her charges. She stood close enough to admire her handiwork. She casually stood there and watched the ash and dust fly towards her. Reminded her of the dust storms back home. "Let's go."

 

[TheSentinel]

Sol got behind an overturned table and trained his gun on the soon-to-be ex-door.

"Ready."

 

[tom919]

Johnson stood there for a moment, thinking. Out gunned, out numbered, out of his mind. His mind was realing with everything that was happening, they had a man down; were on the retreat; had no sure fire way off the planet and had lost contact with the only air support in the region. He needed a quick decision, like the ones he'd been taught about. "I've never lost a soldier under my command. I don't intend to start now. Jaime we're all geting out of here or we're all going to die trying. Gallagher give her some more nanos and get ready to do a cover retreat." The cover retreat had been used for decades. One man would take up a firing base and shoot at any hostiles while the other ran further back and got into a firing base so the other could retreat. This was going to be a bit different considering Gallagher would be covering for a larger target and Johnson wouldn't beable to shoot. Johnson crouched next to Jaime and said, "I got your back if you've got mine. I hope you don't mind being carried."

 

[CloggedDonkey]

"not at all, but I'm going to have to leave my armor, it's to heavy for someone to carry" she took of the suite, leaving the leg and arm guards on. "alright, we've got to exit the town and get back to where we were dropped. any ideas on how we're gonna do that?"

 

[tom919]

"We'll comendeer civilian transport ASAP and floor it. Sides that I'm trying not to think too far ahead. Right Gallagher are we good to go?"

 

[Pandalisk]

Repzik Walked forwards, Slowly, in a half crouch, moving towards the Broken doors lying smoking on the ground.

He walked through the smoke, his vision hapmpered by its thickness, as he entered through the doorway a shot rang out, his body jerked at his shoulder, twisting and bending slightly as he took the impact and let its force push him back. "Contact!!!" He shouted as he twisted his body back up right, the Projectile was almost like a Nail, embbeded deep into his Bulky armour.

He fired blindly into the smoke, his Shotgun Rapidly expending shells, advancing in a crouch as Nail-like Projectiles pierced the walls around him.
