Pierce, Comartin, McCloud, and Cannon Fodder.

Drano leads McCloud and Comartin to the other entrance where Cannon Fodder waited.

OOC: I need some detail on the terrain, and the entrance itself. Is the area round the entrance flat? How is the entrance situated to the ground? Is there a ramp that goes down?

It is flatlands in every direction for miles. The entrance to the facility is a hole in the ground, disguised by a door that looks like a rock. The hole is 20 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. There are bars, for climbing all the way down the 200ft hole...


The dropship lands next to the massive Cannon Fodder at the other facility's entrance. Amy opens the back door, and the three glitter boy armours walk out to meet Fodder.

McCloud trains his boom gun barrel on the opening.  "Nobody's coming up without permission, sir," he says to Drano, making a show of casually gripping the cannon's trigger.

"the only people we know for sure are down there are members of our team, I hope that isn't a hair trigger..."

CannonFodder at least has some people to talk to now

Amy moves her dropship near the giant rock, at least she'll have some cover if something bad happens.  Then unable to just sit and wait she gets out to look down the hole herself.  "Wow... I hope this is just an escape route and its not meant for something to use regularly."

Drano surveyed the terrain and decided to make their position a little more defendable. “Comartin go down that hole, make sure that anything that comes up is on our side, if need be shoot first, and ask questions later.”

"Amy what weapons is your dropship outfitted with, as well as anything else that my be of use.”

Looking to the large dee-bee Drano re-affirmed his name before asking him to carry out a rather meager task. “Connon Fodder right?  Can you quickly dig several holes in the ground about the size of one of my Mecha? Dig a few large ones for yourself as well.”

"Cannon actually, and just tell me where you want the holes for your men. It would take a considerably long time to dig a whole I could fit in and could quite possibly put at risk the integrety of the underground caverns the enemy has built, so I would prefer not to do that."

Cannon Fodder is sizing up one of the GlitterBoy's to see how big a whole he will need.

“If at all possible I’d like to have two holes, 30 meters apart per each side of the entrance. Place the holes about 300 meters from the entrance. We have to be able to handle threats from both the entrance and the outside.” Drano decided not to press the point regarding the large bee-bee not making his own hole to fight from.

"Well I have a laser cannon and a mini missle launcher, but neither of them is really meant for heavy combat, its mostly for insertion and exfiltration cover fire."  She explains quickly, not wanting to give the impression that its lack of heavy firepower is in anyway a design flaw, but rather perfectly ballanced for its role.

Cannon will dig the apropriate holes, after some help from a spotter, it's hard to guestimate meters when you are so many of them yourself
"now do you want these holes big enough the whole guy can fit in there or jus thalf of him for some cover?"

“Make them about chest high, McCloud go with him, I’ll scan the area.”

"Sir," McCloud responds, leaving behind his vigil on the back door to follow Cannon.

"You want me to baby sit the hole Lieutenant? god damn it..." Comartin then casually walks to teh entrance and begins the climb down...

It is quiet... very quiet... and there is no sign of anybody or anything besides a horse, casually approaching from the south. Upon closer inspection the horse is saddled and has a few puches or sacks attached to the saddle. There is no visible rider in sight.

The horse stops every so often to eat some longer grass, but contunies generally towards Squad Five.

Drano spots the animal, while Cannon Fodder and McCloud dig the fox holes.

 - OOC - Anyone with telescopic sight will see the details, otherwise it is not much more than a speck.

Drano chose to shoot first and ask questions later, there was no way of determining if it was just a horse out there or if it was something else that simply chose to look like horse.

“All units, be advised we have a lone horse approaching from the south.”

Drano a single shot from his boom gun at the lone horse, as usual with the TW modification the gun went off with a whisper.

The horse explodes, sending chunks of flesh and from the saddle and sacks it was wearing. The surrounding area is quiet again...

McCloud looks up from his work to watch the horse explode messily.  "Umm, was that really necessary, sir?  A thermo-scan would've shown you if it was a robot or something..."

"Poor horse," he mutters out loud to Cannon.  "Not even enough left to make glue out of..."

Cannon Fodder is digging the hole to the apropriate depth while pondering the fate of the equine...

"Um, wow... that was, extreme."  Amy exclaims as the horse explodes.  After falling quiet for a little bit she asks, "Should someone go find out if anythings left?"

"McCloud digs zee holes!" McCloud responds to Amy's inquiry in a cheesy, indeterminate Euro accent, returning to his labor.

"How I wonder is target determination arived at, given the things that have NOT been shot at...."

Cannon is setting rocks he finds burried in the dirt off to the side to be out of the way, or possibly used later if they stay long enough.

After a few moments more Amy sighs and then sprints out to the horses... remains looking around to see if there is anything left, flank steaks, saddle bags, killer robots etc.
