Yes, have a little team to recover the vehicles. I don't think it will be wise to chase after the elephants...

Kelsey nods.

"What did you have in mind for the team?  I know we have at least two persons in mind already."

She nods to Koldan and Tyler.

We should consolidate the team. Recover the vehicles. We have to maintain the fleet and it combat ready. Hmmm...personal equipment too. I want to create two combat patrols and go for a mission. The plan is to secure the border and eliminate the threat. We need to be organized as the  enemy is well armed.

In reply to Taras Vladimirovich Shevchenko (msg # 30):

"Ah.. Sergeant I only have one round for the Charlie G left so if there is a chance of a resupply before we move off I would appreciate it.

Mac looks sad. He's worried about the elephants' welfare.

"If the relief column didn't bring spares you are down to scrounging, sorry.""

Probably not the sergeant he was hoping would respond, such is life.

Tyler was eager to get on the road.

"Sergeant, let's make the call. We'll need at least 4 people plus the Humvee and the winch. How about Koldan and me, you and Andrews?

"If I understand Taras, he's going to consolidate the unit here. Then form patrols. We're close, we know where we're going and we can be back within the hour."

In reply to Thomas Matthew Andrews (msg # 31):

Bezhov said something in Russian. One of his crew vanished into the mammoth SA-8 vehicle.

"Do not worry. We are having some supplies. The 84mm rockets are being very valuable for trade, so have couple somewhere. For you? Free of charge. Because of old friend Taras."

The crewman reappeared with a hard plastic ammo case containing 2 HEDP rounds for the Carl Gustav. Due to the amphibious construction of the Gecko's boat-like hull, there were no side hatches or doors for access or egress. Instead, roof hatches or front driver/passenger side window hatches sufficed. The man climbed down and handed the case to Andrews.

In reply to Tyler Gabriel Hope (msg # 34):

"I'm game.  It's my fault we found the septic tank."

In reply to Tyler Gabriel Hope (msg # 34):

"No problem, should be ready for anything." He thanks the crewman for the additional rockets as he stows the case and stands ready to move off.

Kelsey nods to Tyler.

"I am good with that.  Sergeant Taras?"

That's fine. But get Kelsey to go with you. I'll have plenty of work over here trying to consolidate and prepare the next patrols. Make sure you have the comms and I will set up a quick reaction team just in case. I guess it will be the Cougar...

"Right.  Since it is your vehicles, let's hear how you want to do this, and if I approve we'll execute in that manner.  Let's hear it."

Tyler believed Kelsey was asking him so he answered the best he could.

"Me? Ah, ok. Let's go down the freeway the way we went yesterday. Grab the Challenger, then the Humvee. Or we could go south of the freeway, but that would put us close to the Hells' club house."

In reply to Tyler Gabriel Hope (msg # 41):

Kelsey nods.

"Let's get a vehicle and roll in 10 minutes."

They were ready to roll in less than 5 mikes. The Humvee rolled out the gate with Hawke driving, Andrews in the passenger seat, Kel on the M240 and Tyler/Koldan in the rear.

OOC: Or, we can arrange seating another way?

If not needed for the trip, Mac can find plenty of farm chores to do. He's still troubled about the elephants, though.

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 43):

Tyler spoke from the back, "Andrews, you're in the front. You want to trade places? That way you can deploy your Carlie G. a bit easier."

In reply to Tyler Gabriel Hope (msg # 45):

Andrews was just humping his gear up to the Humvee when he heard Tyler; "Yes that's a great idea. Though lets hope I don't need to jump out in a hurry." He gets his stuff orientated in the back and takes his seat ready for the off.

Once they got on the road Tyler said, "let's get the Charger first. It's mobile, the Humvee isn't going anywhere. Anyone fucking with it is going to take a long time. Or, you can drop Koldan and I off where I stashed the car, we can meet you at the Humvee?"

"Let's get the car first."

OOC:  Is there anyone that is actually GOOD at MG?  Kelsey will be sitting up in the hatch with her rifle, otherwise.  Damn well claiming that M-21 we picked up, will send the Barrett to the actual snipers though.

Abbot found himself standing in the gunner's hatch behind the Humvee's M240.

Andy saw the others getting ready to pick up the vehicles they'd had to leave the night before. He picked up his rifle and the Barret and said to Mac, "Heads up, time to go out again. Do you want to drive this time?"

He got in to the Iltis and readied it for leaving.

"Sure... just let me wash up. I've been doing the farm chores."

Shortly thereafter a rather more pleasantly-smelling Mac settled in the driving seat.

"Where are we going?"

"We're picking up the vehicles we couldn't retrieve last night," Andy explained, "our job will be sniper overwatch again."
