"Hey up, what's this then" the bulk fueler asked. "Catfight at the OK corral?"

DIFF roll ENG please

OOC: Yeah that's it. I wanted to give her the option of being aircrew, but if she wanted to be a ground girl, that is up to you too. :)

Vita looked at the dark skinned Brit with a furrowed brow indicating either she found him not amusing, or more likely she had no idea what he was talking about.

OOC: She doesn't have ENG...CBE?

She'll do whatever, no preference either way.  Already running 2 other ground pounders, sort of.

"<No ya piergela no...po prostu nie moguh, so?>" the Polish woman swore shaking her head as she looked around the area back and forth from the troops on the ground to the helicopter and back again nervously.

ESY POL roll please sir

In reply to CW3 Gabriela Novak (msg # 154):

OOC: Say what?

01:49, Today: Yefreytor Viktorya 'Vita' Nowak rolled 44 using 1d100. ESY POL.

In reply to Yefreytor Viktorya 'Vita' Nowak (msg # 155):

"<Damn IT...I can't, I really can't believe it>" Vita understood the Polish woman as she swore at the situation they all found themselves in. Instantly, Vita realized that she could understand and talk to this woman.

OOC: JC when I planned this game I thought the cool thing about me being a Pole was that I could bring my language skills and make it more real for the player. The "<...>" is my guess at what an English speaking character(or player for that matter) would actually hear a 'local' say(I know, I know, Gaby isn't from the Kalisz area...you get my point).

Since this game was penetrated and ruined by spies, I only have one player left. So, let's do this. You may or may not have to roll to see if Vita understands, but to ease communication between player and GM, I will post only in the "<...>" when Vita does NOT make a roll.

For the record, Winters wears that pink dress until that SW game starts. :)

Vita looked quizzically at the Polish woman swearing, she replied in Polish, "<What do you mean?  Do you need help?  I can help.>"

"Corr...I think I'm in love" Reg said, watching the two women walk toward the helicopter.

In reply to Reg Fenstron (msg # 158):

"Hey, what about us?" the young Pfc drawled after the two women.

"Kurcze...what to do?" CW3 Novak wondered to herself. Then turning to Vita, she asked her the same question again in Polish. "<Any ideas?>"

Vita cocks her head slightly questioningly and answers in Polish, "<You mean the silly boys?>" adding a thumb over the shoulder at the group of stranded NATO men.

In reply to Yefreytor Viktorya 'Vita' Nowak (msg # 161):

"No...tak" the pilot said, looking at Vita's head to make sure she hadn't suffered a concusion. "<What do know about helicopter weapon systems? Feel up to it?>"

OOC: East what now?

Vita felt a bit silly, but replied in Polish, "<Oh, helicopter? Not much. I do know armor weapons and heavy weapons. It's Soviet, how hard could it be? I'm up to it.>"  A part of her was likely thinking about the poor 'blokes' that she had been forced to be prisoner with and work some hard labor, she glanced back at them for a moment, apparently conflicted.

In reply to Yefreytor Viktorya 'Vita' Nowak (msg # 163):

"<And....what about all this?>" the pilot asked as she looked in the back of the closest Ural. "<We need these 57mm rockets for the Hind and we don't have the time to load it all.>"

OOC: Colour thief! OK, gonna try red for Gaby since she is an NPC after all.

Vita turned to the closest Yankee/Westerner, "You help, you ride maybe." pointing at the back of the Ural and then to the Hind.  Turning back to the Polish-speaking pilot she addresses her again in Polish, "<It will be faster with help, and it might not be so bad to have extra hands and guns.>"  She hoped the pilot wouldn't protest too much, but it made sense.  Vita didn't know the pilot's name or whether she was Polish, or a Soviet, or maybe even something else.

"What's she on about then?" the rarely bashful Lance Bombardier asked his long time fueler friend.

In reply to Reg Fenstron (msg # 166):

"I don't know old thing, but I think we're bloody well getting out of here!" the other Lance Bombardier replied.

In reply to Basil Wainthrop (msg # 167):

"What're y'all talking about?" the Pfc asked, not aware the the 'Queen's English'. "Talk English. I don't understand."

In reply to Keith Rivers (msg # 168):

"Ok...._{shit I can't believe we're doing this}" the pilot mumbled to herself after a long, exhausted sigh.

"Ok" Gaby continued, trying to summon some semblance of order out of this decidedly fucked up day. She started pointing at individual soldiers as she issued orders, not really knowing or caring if the men would follow. "You, you, and you just became my drivers. Take ten seconds to police the bodies for weapons or what you think you need, then get in the trucks and drive. Follow the road to the north out of here, then pull over where you see the helicopter land. Questions?"

In reply to Niewiele Dupek (msg # 169):

"Yes, ma'am" Keith said after a few seconds of silence. "Are you an angel?"

In reply to Keith Rivers (msg # 170):

CW3 Nowak thought silently as she looked at the young Pfc from KY. The wheels in her head were turning so hard, you could actually feel all the things she wanted to say but chose not to.

In reply to Niewiele Dupek (msg # 171):

"Just don't shoot the helicopter down, ok Richards?" the CW3 asked, turning on her heel. As she walked off, Ssg Edwards was behind her covering their six with his weapon at the ready. Gaby didn't look behind her but assumed Vita was a step behind. If not...well, this day couldn't get any worse.

OOC: Please post when ready if the equinox allows it from your posting station.

Vita nodded in appreciation of the pilot's quickly thought out plan, and voiced it in her broken English, "Bootiful"  Looking at the American Private she answered his rhetorical questions, "Nyet, dat is my name." giving him a playful wink.  She followed the pilot and caught up with her finally introducing herself, "I am Vita." offering her hand in Western fashion.

OOC: Her first name is actually "Anzhela".

BTW, you can have purple if you want.  It's standard for female characters for me.  Vita can take pink...

"Hell, what's Commie for I love you?" the young man from the Kentucky Hill Country asked as he looked at the recently freed POW.

"Oj, Yank...what's your name...Rivers, is it?" Lcpl Brdr Fenstron asked, shaking the young man. "Quit assing about, olright?"

In reply to Reg Fenstron (msg # 175):

"Known a lot of Polish women growing up in ole Blighty, unfortunately" the other Brit told the American as he walked over to one of the Urals. "That one's not half serious. Looks like you'll be left behind if you don't get a move on."

OOC: I'd like to think that I am good at noticing patterns and I completely missed that about the purple. You take it. You've earned it. :)

Also, if you want Vita to drive so she can interact with one of the other characters I can always have Barr crew the chin gun. Think on it.
