Re: Flight of the crow: Next Mission( Camp Hope)
The first exchange between the ships went as expected. Incoming missiles and torpedoes were engaged by the automated defense systems, The corvettes' guns scored hits on the incoming missiles cutting their numbers down drastically. The battered dreadnought fared worse it's automated guns tracking sensor echoes, and missing the incoming weapons completely.
A moment before impact T'risa manages to get a lock on the fast moving torpedoes. the heavy warheads detonating in a blinding flash short of the dreadnought sparing it what would have obviously been a massive amount of damage.
With their main weapons already committed to the dreadnought, and the auto guns tracking a swarm of incoming missiles, the corvette in the lead caught the missile and gunfire from the combat drone on the chin. the anit-vehicle missile lacked the punch of an anti-ship missile, but it sliced through armor and still had enough killing power to deal damage.the light chain gun sent sparks and puffs of shell splinters flying as they slammed into he heavy ships armor, doing little more than annoying the crew
With a thunderous crack the two corvettes accelerated and drove past the dreadnought, their main drives hurling the two heavy ships supersonic in moments carrying them almost to the horizon in a few seconds time. even with the advanced acceleration compensation of modern warships the two craft would take a while to turn and come around for a second run. leaving the Dreadnought free to fire in support of the ground forces or fire it's missiles over the horizon after the fleeing corvettes.
On the ground the enemy infantry went for cover knowing better than to get in the way of Mechs when they started swapping hits. a single salvo of RPG rounds arced toward M'kira even with several round bracketing her the Valkiir wove through the salvo and sent her own salvo at her target. the rockets impacted squarely engulfing the lead mech in a ball of fire and shrapnel for a second. Her plasma cannon detonated in the smoke with a blue white flash telling her it too had found a target.
When the Mech emerged, battered and trailing smoke from he smoke cloud. it fired off a salvo of rockets saturating the area around M'kira instead of targeting her directly. she barely avoided being hit directly by a rocket, but was still caught in the blast area of several. Her heavy armor doing it's job and soaking up the damage.
Tiny on M'kira's wing sent a salvo of her own at M'kira's's target. her maneuvers crisp clean, and precise now that she was in the body she was born to. the enemy mech going down in a crash sending up dust and rocks as it slid to a halt, it's systems thoroughly wrecked by the tag team attack of M'kira and Tiny.
Elspeth maneuvered in to attack position her mech raked by chain gun fire as the two Mechs facing her formed up into a wing and responded with trained precision to the unexpected presence of heavy armor facing them. none of the rounds found their mark her heavy armor functioning perfectly despite the Mechs hodgepodge origin.
He Plasma gun went wide as the leader of her target group jinked out of the way. Her rocket however hit the mark and detonated with a satisfying gout of fire, smoke and fragments.
"Mayhem's my middle name....well not really I don't have...oh forget it...YeaaaaHawwwwww" Poppy Unloaded her own rockets, concentrating them on the lead mech as well. Her whoop of excitement carrying ove both her loudspeakers and her helmet radio. her rockets found their target in rapid order, one, two three hits sent the mech tumbling as it's pilot found himself suddenly trapped in a wrecked machine.
Balkiir and Rhic lined up on a third pair of Q'sa Mechs, as the slid into attack position the enemy mechs opened fire. Balkiir managed to slide to the side avoiding a rocket, unfortunately Rhic was out of position and took the rocket in the chest, the blast finding a weakness in the armor. the resulting explosion was as much from inside the mech as outside. when the heavy Armored machine slid to a halt it did not move.
"RHIC!!! MAN DOWN!!! RHIC'S DOWN!!!!! "Balkiir slid to a halt enemy fire streaking past him as he turned first to aid Rhic, then swung around a surge of anger building to an explosive release as his sights settled on the Mech that had taken out Rhic and fired.
The target mech was holed by the plasma blast and rockets, reduced to a burning mass of metal in the flash. It's partner mech swerving wildly to avoid a collision and bearing down on Balkiir as the two warriors squared off to avenge a fallen comrade.
On the bridge T'risa felt her link with Rhic go cold, a surge of pain, surprise and then a wave of memories, jumbled, confused and impossible to sort out in the heat of battle.
As the Mechs slugged it out Leo can find his way to the surface and move to engage the hostile infantry. Soon he spies six Q"sa warriors moving to flank the mech dual, several armed with shoulder fired rocket launchers in addition to their rifles and grenades. At the moment they are too focused on the battle to spot one lone man moving gracefully among the boulders and wreckage outside the ship.
ROUND ONE: COMPLETED
M'kira: 7 to mech points after armor
Rhic: 34 points through armor due to critical hit.
Round TWO
I need
Will save from T'risa ( No DC results dependent on will save)
Computer Use Check Maran: DC 15 to repair ship damage.
Corvettes are over the horizon at this moment however the ships missiles can be fired at them as they turn around for another attack.
to use missiles is an attack roll.
