The Dastavka moves towards the small island and dispatches the ships boat. Aside from the five security personnel, Assistant Medic Armstrong, Tanya, Lewis, Marcus, Duke and Illium, there are the thirty Labrysian rebels.

It does not take them long to reach the island.

Note, map for group 2 is the island. Landing locations/instructions?

"Take us down, north east of the lake, and we'll  set up a defensive parimeter there, and lay a mine field down.."

In reply to Lewis Eugene Grey (msg # 2):

"No worries. On the way."

He lands in a clearing on the relatively gentle slopes north east of the volcano. The land is heavily wooded, with trees generally 3 to 6 yards high and with considerable foliage. The Beach of gravel and sand is clearly visible as you approach.

Lewis trys to pick up the comm signals of the colonists....

In reply to Lewis Eugene Grey (msg # 4):

It is not needed. One is walking to the clearing as you approach, holding a hand-held radio.

"I am security officer Grey of the Dastavaka. Hello there!"

"I trust you have some weapons for us then!"

"Yes. We must hurry, we'll have company shortly.. and they aren't here to have tea with us!" Lewis orders the mines deployed in an area where the tank, and a land assualt would likely occur, and the troops to begin taking up defensive positions. He tells the colonist to bring his men in so they can be armed quickly, and join the defensive.

In reply to Lewis Eugene Grey (msg # 8):

As soon as the Labrysian contingent are seen, there is a shout, and you hear a number of weapons being readied in the bushes.

"What the hell is this? You working with them?"

"Blast! I specificly requested you be notified before our landing of the situation. These here with us, are rebels. They are on our side.. so, you need not fear them. There is a rebellion going on, and we will fill you in on details later, but for now, we must get ourselves ready. okay?"

OOC: failed his leadership roll by 2...

In reply to Lewis Eugene Grey (msg # 11):

They don't shoot, at least, for now.

"Then if you don't mind, we will take what weapons you offer and fall back to the colony, and allow them to deal with their own kind. You may well have informed the colony, but we have not been privy to all of your communications. This is only a hand radio after all..."

[OOC: They have long sideburns and caucasian skin, but appear quite normal for humans. What weapons are offered to this group of colonists?]

Gauss Pistol, x 5/5

Gauss Rifle, 4mm x 10/10

Gauss CAW, 18.5mm x2/2

Gauss CAWs with under-slung 25 mm PC Grenade Launcher x2/2
with appropriate ammo. and half the grenades brought along, thrown and launched

In reply to Lewis Eugene Grey (msg # 13):

The pistols and Shotguns do not receive so much attention, but the rifles and grenade launchers do. They quickly take them and thank you for them, and any ammunition you brought.

"We look forward to seeing you again, and hearing all about your history. Farewell for now, friend." With that, Lewis turns his attention to defensive proceedings.

In reply to Lewis Eugene Grey (msg # 15):

The Colonists tell you they will be at the top of the hill around the colony, and ask you to keep them informed of how things progress. They allow Natalie to go with them to talk about things with the colonists.

"Nice place; very scenic.  Great place for a condo.  At times like these, I wish I had a force sword..."

She slings the laser rifle over her shoulder, checks her sleek, tight biosuit for wrinkles one last time, then struts down the ramp, ready for some action.

Ronovan will use a heavy plasma gun, gyroc, and hand flamer, along with enough ammo for at least three reloads.  He will also grab a plasma, three frag and two concussion grenades from the weapons locker.

Lewis has one of the laser rifles, without grenade attachment, his own heavy laser pistol, his tacsuit armor, with chameleon applications, grav-belt, and he take the 3 plasma grenades he will simply drop on targets from above, as well as 3 of the concussion. Lewis activates his nanoweave tacsuit's chameleon capability, and melts into the dense foliage, and scans through his visor... waiting for the assault. "kama-kama-kama-kama chamel-eeeon, you come 'n gooooo, you come 'n gooooo....."
