Re: BETA QUAD

Jesse got out of the shuttle but hunkered down to not be hit with Spencer's aiming.

She followed Melia with her sniper rifle and avian scope.  Looking through the scope for any enemies and taking them out.  She'd look down at a COM map to see if she could target on Kray's location.  If the firing in her direction got heavy, she took to the ground but kept firing.

In reply to green moon (msg # 983):

Spotting the globes being brought into action Justin started jinking and weaving his dart climbing and dropping in an attempt to prevent being locked onto. Quickly revising his plan to clear strips of lakefront to doing this in wider patches as he wove to port then starboard churning up the countryside in the process. The arrival of Nivirina Fighters complicated matters, quickly sending a com to Kat offering to assist unless she felt they could to handle the Bandits. As he shredded the jungle Justin sent a squawk to Hermes asking them to let him know the moment Kray would be starting his run, it wouldn't go well on his already muddied record to have something like LC Shadow KbFF.

ooc I hope Kray lets someone know when he's reaching the beach and starting his move

Re: BETA QUAD

"Three o'clock, copy that..."  Roy dropped into a kneeling position, giving himself a slightly more stable aiming platform, and scanned through the scope of his rifle, until the motion and yellow skins highlighted his target.  He debated targets for the barest of moments...then fired at the projectile the Nivarians were loading.  He didn't know if it would do much, but it was a good gamble.

He didn't wait to see the,results before he racked the bolt on his,rifle, ejecting the spent cartridge and readying another, then peered through the scope to try and target the weapon operator, if the globe didn't explode on impact from the rifle round.

Re: BETA QUAD

      things  were  coming to a head...   The Nivrians  were losing  a lot of people... but it  had become a battle now.. they were trying to drive off 'invaders'.

   Spencer's  First  round  hissed through the  Air, Impacting  on the  Globe in the loader's  hand... The  spotter   had an Odd looking Bino that he was  trying to track the aircraft.

 The 'rocket' man as looking through sights...

  The Vanished  in some screams  and  a Ball of Golden Fire.... To spencer..it looked like Golden Plasma.

   Jesse's  Avain scope, showed the   different heat signatures between the    Nivarians  and the  hot  jungle plants.. Two  Golden skinned  Bodies  fell as hard  ammo tore through the soft bodies.

  Melia  was   knocking  down  Nivarians,  some   turned to run Back to the tree line, But didn't  make it... there were   a score..or more of Bodies   with in 30 yards of the shuttle... and dozens  more outside it... The starboard 50s    fired  so the rounds  were  hitting about  a  foot off the ground, near the tree line... in  random bursts..so the    Nivarians  couldn't guess..

 Supe   was  Yelling Curses  at the    'bananas'  as he  fired his  MG... unlike the  others.. he waited   for them to get a bit closer,  so his  rounds would  tear them apart...  Tucker    fired   at  any on the  fringes... shooting  like  each round was paid  for out  of his  own wrist chip.

  Lirg Howled loud.... like a werewolf  from old  earth vids... then  fired   at  the  yellow skinned  beings.

   Hemsly was   saying, Bloody damn hot!..... no wonder  they are so  thin skinned. they  are meltin'!...  his  Bren  gun  fired in controlled  bursts.  Dropping  Nivarians by the ones and twos.

  The shuttle  rocked  again, as Stoly sent   two 37MM  rounds  down range.. he  couldn't   aim, without    hovering but  he fired  randomly... .. if the  impact  didn't kill some , shrapnel did.

 The Ball  turret swung   around   to help fire  Northward... while the Ports side  Ball  gunner   kept   chewing   the treeline  Up... every now   and then he was  rewarded by the   gout of Blood  and body parts.

  On the starboard side, a Nivarian   Got  a long beam off...( rather then the short  beams they used, most times.)  the  Beam  Hissed  above    Supe  and Tucker  , there was a brief  Scream... and the starboard  Bubble  gun was  quiet...

Re: BETA QUAD

In the air....

 Justin   was seeing   the  ragged  edged perimeter  the shuttle  folks had  set... whjat the shuttle  folks  couldn't  see was the    30 or  so    trooper s running down the  beach... these did not wear the  Muti-color  cloaks  of the ' scouts... but  full   Muticolored   uniforms ...  His    Dart  Dove  down  and chewed  Up the  group , scattering    survivors, some who ran into the water... some who ran towards the tree line... a few   managed to   keep running forward...a lot of them lay on the beach...

   Flores  managed to Tag a Fighter, and   It     spun , out of   control,  before   splashing into the   Lake...

 Kat  took some Hits on he r aircraft  , and was  trailing  vapor ....

 Waggles took out  one of them  as well  Leaving One in the air....

   but  dots  were  growing Bigger from the North, and they were  splitting up, half  going   to the west , around the Mountain, Half   going east..

  Thought he Pilots  Couldn't hear... those on the ground   could here a rapid    number of   'thunder bursts'...as Raven and her   Flight   entered  the  Atmo...

  Bo   had some satisfaction  at his  attack... how many   Nivarians he killed?.. no one  would ever know... the resulting  fall of Trees,  rocks  and animals  Bodies. did  send a Messaage.

  He never  saw   Globe  from the  South...even  with  Kat's warning... it  wasn't  Visible   and when it  Hit, the  Golden Plasma Flashed Fired through the  Aircraft, setting off whatever  ammo,  and powercells  were left.

..............


 from the Ground  The Golden Flash, and  Flying Bits of Melting Metal, looked  like a Giant Flower....and slowly  bits of the machine  hit the lake...

Re: BETA QUAD

"DammitALL!!!" Roy growled.  This was exactly what he'd hoped to avoid...what was supposed to have been a low-profile extraction was turning into a full running battle...and the ESN forces were taking losses.  Down two birds, with others questionable...the ground troops were in uncertain circumstances...

He clicked his comm on, broadcasting on all ESN channels.  "Shadow, clock's running out and you've got the ball.  Getcherass in the endzone so we can get outta here!"  He began scanning the treeline, looking for some sign of the pilit, or of Nivarians taking action against them.

Re: BETA QUAD

 ...  I'm about....200 yards  from the  tree line...I can see  some troops getting  torn up  from the Air... I'm hitting my Beacon now.... he  grunted  with effort..we was  tired and hurt...but he had to make it.

 ..

 Supe Nudged  Tucker,..leave  the Canisters.... go   use the Bubble  gun...ya  always wanted  to fore these things....

  Tucker    placed the  cans  By  supe,  and  draped  his last Belt  over the Big man's shoulders.. then pivoted  to  run into the shuttle .

 He Opened the hatch to see  a Hole melted through the Metaglass... hand   the Gunner... Her  shest was  burned straight through..and the   Hatch even had a  Divot. he said into the COMs,Smythe  is dead.....
  he lowered  her    onto the dec. Then Racked the   50's... despite the gruesome    surrounding..he grinned, as he  sighted    and fired  at   anything  that looked Yellow.

 once  more the straboard  50's   added their  weight to  the   battle..and    Nivairans    fell, or  retreated  back to the Treeline.

  Stoly fired   the Cannon , once this  time......He said over the COMs.....Shadow's  beacon is on our  screens.... he's   about  600 yards  down range to the  southeast..... about..i dunno?... 70 yards  from the tree line...and moving.

Re: BETA QUAD

Jesse heard the COM and quickly looked at her map to see when Shadows beacon lit up.  When it did, she began focusing on where his exit would be through the tree line.  She aimed for the figures that were Nivarian that her scope picked up.  She wondered if her scope would tell a heat signature difference from the Nivarians and Shadows.

She relayed a COM to Spencer.  My scope can pick up on heat signatures.  I am aiming in the approximate vicinity of Shadows exit.  Keeping any from entering to counter attack his departure.

Re: BETA QUAD

In reply to Green Moon (msg # 988):

Rattattatt, Rattattatt!" Melia's carbine barked again and again. "Rattattatt-CLICK!" The weapon barked signalling the magazine was empty. Without thinking she hit the magazine release dropping the magazine to be lost in the surf, and slammed a new full magazine home. Releasing the bolt to slide forward and chamber the first round of the new magazine. Being shorter than Supe the beam also streaked over Melia's head, she growled at looked for the source of the beam.

Suddenly there was a massive explosion, and the betty disintegrated in the corner of her view. This was getting out of hand, fast. They should've been able to put down and at the very worst had to establish a small perimeter that gave cover to Shadow as he boarded the shuttle. Now they were down two fighters, and the bubble gunner. Her rage breaks through her barriers, and washes over her. From her lips she screams a feral, wild roaring scream. They were over 600 yards from the treeline at the edge of the beach, about a third of a mile. A long sprint after the marathon that Shadow had already run. She moves forward to the edge of the range set by Roy, crouching low in the water to prevent a smaller target. Only a small amount of sense and reason holds her back from rushing to Shadow's position and clearing the lane from the other side. Her death had little to do with it, Orria and the others did, she had changed a lot and not so much in some ways. She kept firing rapidly with out pause every time yellow crossed her sights.

In reply to Kray Shadow (msg # 991):

Hearing Krays location Justin Pirouette his Dart quickly arching it over the tree line and coming about and lining up for a run just behind the beacon's signal.  Clearing a path now he broadcast alerting Kray and the beachhead if his intentions. Sweeping across the treetops Justin fired a sustained burst over a path five hundred and fifty five yards long from the beacons location towards the shuttle sending clumps of earth, dirt, dust, foliage, tree fragments and any Nivirian in the area skyward. Sweeping over the Shuttle Paths as clear as I could do, the rest is up to Kray and the mud crab's holding the beach head. he broadcast. Once clear of the shuttle he started to climb swerving and spinning his Kite in the process. Bringing the Dart into a position where he could make one last arcing sweep of the area to cover the shuttles liftoff.

Re: BETA QUAD

  With Garrat, Lirg,, Supe  and Tucker firing  from closer in... Jesse and Melia  a bit  futher  Out, and Spencer  bringing  down  yellow  folks.

  Henry watched..with the eyes  of a Xeno-tech... the  trees and  landscape were being  torn up... gods only know how many animals were  dying in there...

 he saw one ..plate  ..shell move  and a  greyish 'alligator ' Head   grabbed  a  Nivarian, threw  back its  jaws  and the  body  filled  the   pouch..struggling  for a  Bit  as the  creature  retreated into the  thick boles of the trees....

     Kase's   fighter  zipped  down the  beach once  more, churning up  sand, water..and    a bit of   trees... fire  from inside the   trees  arced  Up ..he  could  feel the   beams 'bump', his  aircraft.....he was  showing a leak too..from the  auto loading system for his  37 MMs


   Shadow  just opened   his COM and left it open as he charged out of the  Trees,...I'm  coming now...if i go  down..get the 9 hells out of here!

 with  Gritted  teeth , he  surged  through the   trees  and Onto the Sand... The  Nivarians   that were  still combat worthy  , after   diving into the Sand, when  Kase  flew  Over. Looked up in confusion....  it looked like   Shadow was  Chasing the  Nivarians that ran towards the shuttle... HIs    Sanri fired  as  some  screamed  and Melted    . with him  running past...  the  heavy  machete slashing  at  anyone who were trying to get up,  or  grab weapons

 Golden Beams    fired out as Shadow  Zig  zagged a  bit... some of the beams  hit their own people,causing   some of then to turn back and fire at their own.

  400 yards ( give or take)  the    battered  Pilot  was  sprinting... some  30    Bananas  between him  in the   shuttles... gods only knew  how many behind him, that  could  still fight... now and then a few  exited the tree line... One was Pulled  back as  a pale shelled , creature   grabbed  him in its  claws..and  pulled him screaming into the trees.

    the snari  was dry...  shadow   pulled   a small  golden weapon and  fired off a golden Beam... he missed the fellow  he aimed at. but the person  getting  up lost his  arm  at the Shoulder..and  fell again screaming, writhing in the sand... Shadow  just lowered his  shoulder  and  slammed  into the guy he missed, slashing  then  man's  leg off at the  thigh.....Shadow using the  Beam weapon   threw  more  confusion..as those who chased him..fired and missed..and?...maybe hit  another one...

 Waggles  made  a half hearted  attempt to cut some of the   Nivarians chasing him, from behind..  he  knocked off  a few, scattered more, but he had to pull up.. Friendlies were too damn close...  About the Time  Waggles pulled up..the   golden fighters  appeared...and  Raven's  group pounced on them, as they  tried to pounce on a battered  B-flight.

 a twisting  turning   golden fighter  Impacted  100 yards  away from the shuttle on the west side..Killing some ground  troops and wounding a few more.

  Lirg was  howling  like  an idiot  has he shouted,THIS!!!!  THIS IS THE GOOD FIGHT!

Re: BETA QUAD

Melia started laughing maniacally switching to single fire aiming more carefully. She pushes just a little farther forward targeting banana's closer, but not close enough to be within melee range, specifically those who were in positions shoot at the pilot. She finishes another mag, and slams a new one home starting to slowly back towards the shuttle taking small steps trying to get back to the shuttle at the same time as Shadow, but she paused after a few steps waiting for him to get closer.

Re: BETA QUAD

Notcing the slow leak on the auto loading system for his 37 MMs Justin quickly changed his original plan to cover the shuttle. Banking over the Shuttle he swept out across the lake keeping low and churning up spray to partially obscure the beachhead from view elsewhere as he arched the Dart around the Shuttle hoping that this would help with their lift off. Guys when you're are ready to exit give me a heads up and I'll sweep the beach like Shadow did previously.

ooc can't recall which thread it was in but it was when he flew through hoards of largran ground troops like a hot knife through soft butter.

Re: BETA QUAD

"Don't worry about the beach...make sure we can get back out of the atmosphere!"  Roy stopped sniping...he was still using the rifle, but no longer taking the time to try and land kill shots with each trigger pull...instead, he was roughly aiming at center-of-mass on the Nivarians and hoping for the best...

And then the sniper rifle ran dry.

Two options...and he didn't like the notion of running back to the shuttle.  He left the rifle on the ground, in his return path, and pulled out the machine pistols he carried in place of the standard-issue sidearms.  "I'm goin' in, keep hammering at them!"

He burst into a run down the beach in Shadow's direction, letting out the kind of godawful bestial roar that only trained Marines seemed to muster as he charged at the Nivarians that had been considering trying to stop Shadow, snapping off short bursts at each one that crossed his path on an angle far enough away from Shadow to not risk a friendly-fire incident.

"I'm not leavin' this steaming dungheap without you, Shadow!" he said in the comms.  "Owe you too damned many debts to welch on it now!"

Re: BETA QUAD

  Hemsly   was  dragging a , mostly Empty Crate.  He  GAve Henry a Nudge,..Hey...Doc? wanna see whether  England, or  Scotland  has the Best  Bowlers on the bloody pitch?

  In the Crate are a total of  12 grenades..    He  Picks  up two... takes a  running start and  Throws one towards the tree line  a bit in front of the  shuttle... the  Sand erupts   as some yellow  Bodies  are   torn apart...
 a second  Later  the  second  one went to the   west side,  a bit near the Burning  Nivarian fighter... to  kill some more.. Then he   ran back to the crate.....Best thing about this... ain't  not of them good  with a bloody bat!

 ............

  One   brave fellow  dropped his  rifle  and  sprinted   hard and  Jumped On Shadow, they  Hit  the Ground, Shadow  Rolled,the rage on His  face ( and  the Blood and cuts)  must have frightened the  Fellow,  but  Only until Shadow  step on his throat, Then  shadow  pivoted and  ran  hard  again... his  steps  weren't   smooth anymore.. he was stumbling  every few feet. he still had the presence  of Mind  to    juke like a punt returner..

200 yards  away..maybe less....

 The    Nivarians saw   Spencer  run towards them... They seemed ..at a loss?... people shooting   from behind them... two  Died  in quick succession  from  machine pistol rounds..from the man charging.

 Jesse   dropped another  one  close to  Spencer..

  Supe   changed his  angle  to  stop  folks from intercepting Spencer.

Melia kept up her bursts.. dropping another   Yellow fellow.

 Garret supported   Supe's fire for the time  Being...

 The  howl of  a Hyrian wasn't too far behind Spencer... the   dogman's  rifle  firing as he  ran.. Tucker  raised his  sights.. and  fired over  the  heads   of the close r  folks.. dropping bananas  as   they   kept  coming from the tress...

 gods be damned!...did you see that!... he shouted over the Comes   as another    Nivarian was Pulled into the    Jungle by a smaller     spider-gator... now, some  Nivarians  were shooting..into..the  jungle.

  there  was the  scream of a HAmmer  as  Raven Flew  over.... she  couldn't  take  the chance to strafe ... but  the  sand  kicked up  as she   twisted into the air  to chase   another Nivarian... there was  a Harvester  fighter , trailing   smoke... Raven snapped  at him to   get out of the Atmo...another Nivarian  was  heading  South..Kat was on his    tail pumping   Lazars  and Pulse  rounds into it, ..the  Pilot hit his Pod and the Pod  was  chewed up by her Lazars as she screamed,..no more  trusting  any of you!!!

Re: BETA QUAD

As the Nivarians between him and Shadow got thinned, Roy started looking for the points of origin for the laser beams that were coming past...or at least, the ones that were still aimed at the beach.  If they were shooting at who-knew-what in the jungle, he wasn't going to worry about them.  Anything that was a bigger concern than a shuttle full of armed and angry hostiles was something he was pretty sure he didn't want to meet, and Nivarians shooting at it was a good reason for it to not come out onto the beach after them.

"C'mon...just a few more yards..."  He wasn't anywhere the sprinter that Shadow was, but running around on the ground with an enemy shooting at him was certainly nothing new, and he wasn't exactly a loss as a runner.  The gap between them narrowed quickly...

  Shadow  put away the   pistol..he    drew an odd looking Blade , the Nivarians  were using...   he   ran..closing in on  one fellow who was  slowing  up  to  aim as Spencer..  he twisted  around with  Both  blades out,  slashing the  fellow to  bits.. then staggering     and trying to Keep his balance...

 a shot  from Jesse's  rifle  brought  down another  brave  banana  who was closing in on  Shadow  with his own blade.. but he was flung backwards by the impact, and lay still.

  80 yards and closing  before  he reached    Spencer... maybe..another  25 yards  to reach the shuttle

 the   cry of  metal being  torn grew  Loud   as  another Nivarian  crashed into the sands..about 200 yards  behind  Shadow... more   Nivarians  died or were  wounded

 another  Grenade went off  about  20 yards  to the   tree line  side of  spencer..Thinning out more bananas.

"Come on, Mila, we'll clear a path for Shadow," Henry said to the alert dog. Gripping his shotgun, he jumped out into the surf and hurried ashore, ready to pick off any Nivarians that were between Shadow and the shuttle.

In his usual manner, he took careful aim and fired single, precise shots.

Re: BETA QUAD

Roy let himsrlf focus more on running than shooting, only bring the pistols up to fire if some threat seemed immediately pressing.  The cover fire from the team back by the shuttle was taking care of the threat of hand-to hand encounters, and if he saw yellow faces looking out of the treeline, he sent a quick burst their direction, more to keep them down than with any expectation of real damage done...

He figured his odds were relatively good, actually, with Lirg running so near him...the Hyrian was larger and a known factor to the Nivarians.  They knew how dangerous Hyrians could be...humans were relatively unknown, Nivarian interaction having been largely limited to the effete methods of Everest.

Well, he told himself, they were getting a crash-course in Humanity now...

Re: BETA QUAD

Completing his arc across the Lake Justin noticed how close Kray had got to the Shuttle. Quickly determining if he started his sweep of the beach now he'd reach the Shuttle just as everyone who was going to make it off was aboard. Swivelling his Kite to Starboard Justin closed its intake valves, to prevent debris from penetrating the vents, as he swept along the beach. the Darts skids gliding a tad over 1' above the ground. His first contact was a Squad of Nivirians which rushed out of the Jungle, firing back into it as they did. Their attention being on whatever was within it, Justin grimaced as he swept through them, bodies fragmenting as he swept through the squad, throwing fragments of bodies skyward. His thrusters throwing sand up in his wake as the kite pressed on relentlessly, catching Nivirians in twos or threes severing bodies and throwing yellow bits everywhere. As Shadow closed on the Shuttle more and more Nivirians were emerging from the Jungle either being driven by the creatures within or their desire to take down Kray and the rescue team. The more the merrier.Justin thought to himself, as he swept through bodies, occasionally firing bursts at clumps that appeared to posed a direct threat to the Dart, Shadow or Shuttle.
