Fade Away and Radiate

Just before the bomb went off, a man in Project gear, body armour and fatigues, armed with an M16A1/M203 stepped out from the tree line 30m ahead and on the left, by the old T-junction of Lake Louise Dr. and Lake Whatcom Blvd. The man waved Jenna down and yelled something unintelligible but was drowned out by the explosion. This was obviously a member of RECON KR-44 in the flesh. They were both smacked by the shockwave and showered by debris, although neither was really damaging.

At this point Jenna was still rolling forward at 30 km/h.

In reply to Project Director (msg # 1):

Jenna braked her rear wheels hard and pumped the front while to bring herself to a quick, graceful stop.  She didn't want to pull anything too dramatic and flip or jacknife the trailer.  She knew enough about firearms to realize the guy waving her down had an assault rifle/grenade launcher combo.  There was also a schmuck doing a shit job of hiding off to her left.  Time to be diplomatic.

"X-Ray Delta," she called to the standing man. Just about then another explosion rocked the clearing, and Jenna ducked to keep dust out of her eyes as pine cones, rocks and dirt pinged off her helmet and poncho.

"Fuck diplomacy," she thought to herself.  "Muthafucker, she swore, wiping dirt and debris off herself.If this is how you greet friends, what the fuck do you do to people you don't like?

In reply to Jenna Tallfeather (msg # 2):

About 30m away under the trees, Jenna saw a black woman climb out of a hole in the ground.

She was also dressed in Project fatigues, with a beret on her head and armed with a Stoner rifle. There were a couple small craters nearby, with wisps of smoke still rising from them. The woman examined her handiwork with some dissatisfaction. "Dang! Not sure if that did the trick."

She was just visible under the trees, not particularly in hiding.

He snorts and shakes his head.

"I'll have to radio for the countersign.  Name's Jimmy, KR-44...SHIT!"

He ducks as well, then radioes.

<radio>"This is Carson.  I have an X-Ray-Delta from a friendly stranger.  Confirm."

He chuckles.

"Seems a few trees grew over and around us while we were having a little nap.  Big trees."

A look over to Tina.

"And that's my good friend Kit.. she blows shit up."

The woman slung her rifle and sauntered over. "You authenticate X-Ray Delta? The countersign is Tango Tango. I'm otherwise known as Tina Marie."

"Considering there are friendlies incoming, we might want to get their 20 before we pop any more bang-banks.

She nodded to the black woman.  Pleased to meet you, Sister.  I'm Jenna, but my mates call me Tallfeather."

Dylan Richard Sinclar:
"Mr Kim, we need to get to Tallfeather ASAP... drive safe but fast" Dylan tucks the radiation badge with the black strip on a chain in his shirt. "Mr blackfeather, we are taking a fast combat advance to Tallfeathers local... Possible combat activities... you have a better handle on th e terrain, do you waqnt to lead?"


Daniel replied, "I can't say I've been here before. But Kim learned how to drive six months ago, and I've been driving since I was six months old. So yes, I should take the lead. Just follow my tracks exactly, nodamene? If anyone would have attacked they would have hit Jenna so I doubt we'll run into anyone. I'm back out."

He looked over at Filat. "Might as well get down. Lots of low-hanging branches. Don't want you to get your brains bashed out."

The Russian nodded wordlessly and sat down, closing the roof hatch. He checked the M79 in the dash-mounted bracket (loaded with 40mm HE) as well as the Uzi in the door holder. All ready to go.

Tallfeather to Deuce. Have made contact with Kilo Zulu 4-4.  Recommend you hold at your current position.  Trail to here worse than what you have seen before.  Need to demo blockage to get Kilo Zulu out of Bravo Hotel.  I repeat, please hold position and apprise us of your exact 20.

Jimmy likewise radios back to his team.

<RADIO>"This is Carson to Sparks or Limey, Call-sign and counter received.  Contact made.  Unfortunately they got a little shower of our toothpicks.  Everyone is fine.  Over."

"Copy that, Carson.  Be careful. Sparks out."

She set the radio to repeater mode and grabbed her pack,  she placed it in the trailer and slung her carbine over her shoulder.

Once Tim finished on the radio and after the second explosion he went top side to see if it had done the trick. He looked the stumps over and tried to work out if the door would be able to push them aside. Tim approaches Tina and asks whether she thinks they can move the doors now.

Jenna decided to take a look at this troublesome hole herself.

Tallfeather to Deuce. I'm going to take a look at this Brovo Hotel exit and see if it needs any more help.  I'll report back in ten mikes.

To the members of KZ44, I like making stuff go boom.  If that hole isn't clear yet I can make it happen.  She grinned at the others.

In reply to Tim Charles White (msg # 13):

Once up top, Tim noted there were a few small trees growing on top of them but he figured the hydraulic rams could push them aside. Tina had done an expert job, nothing to speak of remained of the stumps that were once blocking the way.

Tim noted the ATV rider come up. She was wearing a Kevlar helmet with face shield, and poncho over body armour and MP coveralls. Even to his ears there was something odd about her accent and it was obvious she was a new recruit, not of the prewar members. She could see the stumps were basically gone, little remained other than wood splinters and a couple shallow craters.

PD Note: I misread Tina's Demo skill level. She had 6 Degrees of Success on her Demo skill. Those stumps are history!

Jenna looked at the crater.  "Damn, Tina, when you blow shit up you don't mess around.  You did all that with no collateral damage?  Outstanding."

Jenna looked at the new arrival.  She took off the helmet and pulled down the face shield.  She ran her fingers through her `hawk, but in this drizzle with no wax there was no way it would spike up.

Standing in front of Tim was a 20th century biker chick.  Mohawk with feathers in it, piercings, tats and all.  She grinned at Tim and offered her hand.

"Name's Jenna, but my mates call me Tallfeather.  Pleased to meet you."

Tina then flashed Jenna a smile, feeling better at her handiwork now she knew someone was pleased with it.

"I'll go back to standing watch with Jimmy."

Daniel started to turn right to follow the trail to the bolthole.

After Jenna advised they stop, he pulled up.

"Well, dang it. This means we're gonna have to backtrack 4 or 5 klicks back to the Open Road, then wait a few hours for R-44 to break trail and come out another 10km south. Or else meet them down there.

"Go on, Filat filiopich. Keep watch."

Again, not saying a word the taciturn Russian merely nodded his understanding and, after opening the roof hatch, stood up. He rested his rifle on the roof of the truck, keeping an eye on the surrounding forest.
