---> Bura Wilds

Harry would enter the room with a definite swagger to her step, looking every bit the street thug that she was in her black jeans and red vest top that showed off her sleeve of tattoos,and with a cocky smile on her black daubed lips "hi boys, can I play?" she asked with a quiet chuckle as she took a seat and waited for the briefing to begin. With the type of operation they wanted to run very much determining whether or not she would be getting involved as she had no desire to assault someones private bunker.

With the arrival of Lizzy and Karl, Harry would chuckle at her friends comment before replying "Maris, you're always a sexy distraction" she said with a saucy wink as she leaned back in her chair so as to place a pair of booted feet on the edge of the table as she relaxed into her old persona. If Harry had her way someone was going to get seriously messed up tonight and she was already looking forward to it.

 When Harry walks in looking like quite the rough and tough gal, Lizzy got so turned on and had to take a few deep breaths. After Harry makes her comment Lizzy chuckles and says," Well thank you Lynch, you look ready for a fun time." Lizzy smiles and turns to Karl and says softly," Am I always a sexy distraction Captain?"

Teela came in dressed all in black and carrying a full loadout. "You want me on a rifle tonight or going in, LC?

Zob spoke up, "I would prefer to be on a rifle tonight if at all possible, but i can adjust as needed" He liked to be in the thick of it but he had his heavy armor back then and that was torched beyond repair in the last battle.

Teela nodded. "Only thing is I can be more mobile and change shooting positions more rapidly but I'm good wherever the LC and mission parameters need me to be."

"Evening everyone," Mortica said as she walked in wearing a matte grey-green set of medium armour with her sidearm, knives, rifle and grenades. Extra magazines were in pouches on her belt and the tactical harness her armour sported.

   Shadow  pointed to Macon   as  he began to  lay things out

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

 Macon  walks around the  3 d Hollow map.. he  sneers  at   Shadow,pay attention... I don't want to go over this twice  for  slow learners...

 Shadow  Just stared  at him with his    arms  crossed, no smile..nothing...

 Shoey looked at Roy   , then back to  the Colonel.

A... ..4 areas  of   Attack... Teh first his here... outside the  Capitol  by some  10 miles or so?.. we believe there  are renegades  there.. we  need them  captured or wiped out, and  any intel they have siezed.  any   equipment  would be nice to have too..augment the Burian troops.. we're  thinging the animals  can go there, sicne you'll be going through the forest.. Volunteers, or the SM can chose  peopel to go with them...

B...South MAnison.. it is pretty  wlee  protected..Guards..  mostly   hired guns   EDT...The EDT has thier HQ there..and they  don't like what we  just  did here...

..we?... WTF?   You were eating  french fries on a pleasure ship while  we  were fighting...

 shut up, Shadow....This is My show...

 puppet show?

 McFust almost laughed.. Macon  continued. ..they been having heave  COM traffic.. i assume    by OmniCOM..doesn't  do them any good  while the   fleet has a curtain of steel out there...but  we you people leave, they'll send  in extraction forces... we  want to   make sure there is no one left to extract.... Virg Ollis is the   hincho there.. be nice to catch him...bottom line is not to let him escape....

C....East  wharehouse.  4 ships left there before our   attack.. one was seized  by  the  Tyr...it  contained  food  stuffs  and   Med Tech supplies... no manifest... no bill of lading .. we assume it was goign to an outpost..or  some ships out tehre  some where... we  need it captured...  The High chairman will put   people in charge there, and they will work  with Miss Emmie  as  transports  for Bura  to   strengthen  thier mercantile    powers... again?.. you'll have to do alot of wet works there...

D... Last!... and  i do mean LAst... the north tower... its one of the oldest building on Bura..some  say the capitol was  build  around it... there are  2  Burian power brokers there.. and they have   bought into  the  EDT..with promises of  controlling part of the   planet ... we want this hit last, because   they have  personal  shuttles   there ..anyone   we miss  will  go there  escape  and  we  can wrap them  up  at the end.

 Shadow  looked at   Hack.why don't  we attack that  as well?.... they won't have anywhere to  run?.. why wait until last?

  Macon gave  Hack  the look a teach  gives a dull  student...they would  scatter  into  Bura.. and  would have to  be  hunted down...instead.. we give them  one place to run  to, and hope to catch them  before the shuttles  leave

CU-DL looked   confused,...but we burians?.. we are the  best hunters in  The Black...

 Macon straighten his tunic,..Please?  High Chairman... watch..and learn.

 ..Now.. who  wishes  to go were.....

 he looked  around Turning his Back on Shadow.

Zob spoke up, "Ill take the South Mansion" he had his gear ready to go knowing all odds though stealth would only work for a little bit then shit would hit the fan.

Jug listened, nodded to Bog as if in a silent language.  Her eyes carefully darted to each.  She listened to all.  Then looked to Hack and the one called Shadow "We have choice?  Will respect what you say.  We attack south mansion as well.  Listening to one called Shadow...and you not know what we can do we attack last building alone or keep bad men getting in.  You chase to trap, we trap" she points to herself and Bog.  "They see us, they not think we threat...then we be last threat they see"

  Roy  listens  as  folsk decided  what Op they wanted to   take. Roy got a  COM Text from Jax. ((SGT MAJ...  I wanted to volunteer  for tonight... But Roll seems  to need  some help right now.... Me  and Sneak will hang with him and Ensign rutledge ..if you need  help. COM me...Jax ))

 Shadow   was waiting to see where   everyone wanted to go..Then looked at  Roy,I'm thinking of  the East warehouse.. should be  enough folks  for  me  to kill there..right? and its  closer to the Tower, for when that time  comes.

 Hack  looked at the 'drivers'..Fro Doc  Henry and those goign  with him.. we  want  a shutle  or  two, to land  close... every one else should be able  to   take one shuttle..

 Flores   Points to Shadow,..I'll drive him, and   anyone who is going with him..

 Macon  nodded , seemingly happy he had Shadow  'under control"

Zob was shuffling through some gear getting things in order, "What other information do we have about the southern mansion, do we have a rough estimate of numbers or are we going in blind?" the more information he could gather the better.

 Macon looked at Zob, there was  some  distaste in that look...not sure?.. Mercs  and EDT... I'd  say maybe  20-50?  ahrd  to tell, and we  don't know if they recruited  any Burians.

 CU-DL  spoke,..my last trip to the capitol...i saw many  of the  'Dusters'  as  you call them there.. they seem to like the big city

Zob gave a toothy grin back at Macon, "Wow and here i was hoping for a challenging fight... how disappointing" he said as he placed a smokewood cigar in his mouth but didn't light it up just yet placing his feet up on a unoccupied chair.

Roy chewed on his lip slightly as he scowled at the map, looking down for a moment at the comm message.  He paused to type a response...

I think we're good for now, but be on standby in a couple of hours.  Until then, have some fun.  I think I might need you later, no time to explain now.

His focus returned to the map.  "That makes sense," he said, looking at Shadow with an expression that indicated he didn't buy Macon's explanation for the delayed attack...but he had wheels turning in his mind.  For now, he was willing to at least sound like he was playing along.

"I think, actually, the Gava might be best used against the renegades...if they're set up for surveillance, they're going to be watching for larger targets, and going through the undergrowth is something the Gava do better than anybody I've ever seen.  Master Chief, pick three other shooters to provide support, you can set up at sniping range around the perimeter to pick off any targets that may be armed well enough to be a major threat to Jug and her personnel.  Dr. Christie, if you'll accompany them...Mila may be the only one around who could be even more stealthy than the Gava, she can do an advance scout and give you a heads-up if anything looks more serious than expected.  Captain Nilsson, I'd like you flying overwatch...you'll be in range of pretty much any of the targets and anything you can't hit at a moment's notice will be in range within a few seconds...that way, if we discover any nasty surprises, we've got one or two of our own to throw back."

He turned to Zob.  "Take Shoemaker with you...Supe, Hodden, round up a few others to fill out the roster.  Probably good for Garrat to accompany you, as well, he seems to favor the heavy approach.  Start off quiet...sniper fire on sentries to clear the way, but I want a light-show down there to convince them that's the main focus of the attack.  Hemsly, that's your specialty...maximum damage, as long as you keep it focused on their compound."

He looked at Shadow.  "We can take whoever's left to hit the East warehouse.  Quick and quiet, by-the-book commando raid."  He gave Shadow a quick wink, hidden from Macon's view.  "The two of us, with Larry, Shade, and anyone else that isn't taken up to fill out the other operations, should be able to handle the job in pretty short order."

He looked at the rest of the assembled group.  "As each team clears their target, we circle back and enclose the North Tower to catch anyone running for it."  He looked at Macon, his tone filling with the disgust seasoned soldiers had always had for administrative officers who thought they knew how things worked in the field.

"That is, if that's all acceptable to you, Colonel..."  There was just a slight hint of a drawl on the rank...just enough to create doubt as to how sincere his recognition was.

Henry nodded as he absorbed mission information. It would be good to work with some Gava.

  Captain Si and HAck Listened... they both had  knowing smiles  as they nodded to the others.

  Nina  and Grogo would go with Henry as well.

 Lyri  smiled   at  Doc Henry,  VAl smiled as well to know, that Lyri  would be   with them

  Mortica  and  Teela  can  come with is.. that will put a sniper in the top of the trees...with me and Mortica on the ground.

 she points   at a few of the others and tells them who to group with.

Teela nodded at Lyri. “Did you bring a Barret, Roy? I’ll take one for overwatch. I’ve developed a fondness for them.”

In reply to Zobaich (msg # 17):

Melia nods, adjusting her carbine again angling for that tenth of a degree better sight alignment. She moves with careful gentle but precise motions as she settles the sights to her liking. On the battle field writ large general sight alignment was alright. If she got called to fill a designated marksman role it'd likely be as a counter sniper with the moving element and in that case every little bit of accuracy she could eek out could make the difference. "I took Orria shopping, you can tell by the new outfit. She styles herself some sort of mix between Beth and Shade. Luckily the only fight was over her wanting purple hair, decided she needed to wait a few more years before we are ready to walk down that level of commitment." She said by way of casual comfortable small talk and sharing her day.

As the discussion shifted Melia piped up, "I'm good for near distance counter sniper, and assault. Running a lighter than standard medkit tonight so try not to get too many holes punched in your hides."

Then the briefing began, she waited as the others chimed in. In her mind Roy had the best of it. While the heavy attack could benefit from her assistance as a medic, she was well adept at the more covert knife in the night action as well. By joining Roy and Shadow's group she'd round it out to 4 plus Larry, who was a force of nature in his own right allowing for them to break out in pairs.

As she thought of it more however Lizzy and Harry weren't ground pounders like her and many of the others. They'd be better suited to the warehouse as well unless...  "Colonel, while your plan to let them concentrate at the tower last is sound I'd like to head up a small team perhaps of ENS Lynch and Maris to get close to the tower target and perhaps infiltrate so we have eyes on the targets as they come in.

When the time comes we can hit instantly with no delay, and given the opportunity we could try and hijack or sabotage the shuttles before they can get off the ground allowing us to ensure a capture or kill of all EDT that escape the other nets and try to ex-filtrate themselves."

She glances over to Hack and Shadow after addressing Macon.




Orria sits over near her comms set up poking at her large vidboard making and setting up digital connections, building false trails for the enemy to follow into contained sandboxes and other digital pit traps to make counter hacking more difficult for the EDT comms techs.

Sarah nods to Sam, "You'll do fine LT. This will be a lot like yesterday as far as volume of work, but much more involved in cameras, sensors, and other data collection systems. Rather than pure coordination."

Sarah watched as Macon started, though a careful observer would note the hint of a frown that twitched at the corners of her mouth as he began. She had little regard for Officers who couldn't maintain a sense of professional courtesy when working with those they had disagreements or bad blood with it got people needlessly killed.

As the briefing continued it only seemed to get worse...

As the teams started to divide up Sarah was slightly caught off guard by PO1 Kristensen's suggestion. "That is a sound plan adding the small group to the tower to observe, and disrupt quietly could give us an advantage." She says nodding. There was a lot at stake here and Sarah was growing increasingly to dislike the Colonel.

"I'll go witta team assaultin the Mansion, no need for two SGT MAJ's ona single target." SGT MAJ McDoona chimes in placing himself in the mission.

  Macon looked at  Melia sharply , then to Shadow,..one of yours?... questioning the  op leader?

 ..she is not one of mine, as a pilot... she is one of mione, as a Delta  Night  trooper and...

 HAck spoke up, rather  sternly,..my people are taught to bring up what they  question...they know  that  things  can  change in a heart beat, is that not so. LC?

 Shadow's  face  was  Blank  as he nodded,..indeed  , Admiral HAck. One can never tell what happens in a dark op

 Macon   says  with a dismissive  wave to Meila,Take  some people... but  don't  mount  a strike  until  order is gi8ven..Inderstood.

 Hack  also  pointed to  SGT MAJ  McDonna,Place him on the board....PO Meila? remember..not until the order is given.... his eyes  shift from her to Roy  and Shadow and BAck.

Zob nodded then looked to Garrat and sent him a text, (Should see if you know who will lend us a hand as backup) with that done he waited until the order was given to head out.

Melia nods curtly bristling slightly at Macon's attitude towards her suggestion, "Already done Admiral." she says indicating to whom she is speaking, as she begins shifting things about collapsing the stock of the carbine and folding it over so the carbine became just over two feet long rather than its standard of nearly 3ft. She looks over at Lizzy and Harry seeing what they decide to do.

 Lizzy smiled she only had her sidearm and knife, she wasn't truly expecting to be fighting but she was ready to do her part.
That sounds good to me I can definitely infiltrate and recon the area, and give Intel until we are given the word. Count me in Melia. Lizzy knew she wasn't a great fighter without her fighter but she,was a very good shot and she did have the looks of a party girl and not a commando. She smiled at that.

Roy nodded at Teela's question.  "There's a Barrett and thirty rounds, in magazines.  I shouldn't need it."

He gave a slight grin at Melia's suggestion that someone at least keep an eye on the tower...and gave a simple nod to Hack when the Admiral looked his way, making a mental note that the Admiral didn't stipulate from whom the order should be given...

An idea occurred to him, and he rattled off another quick message with his comm unit, glancing up as he keyed in the message to keep track of who was deciding to go where.

Teela nodded and walked over to Roy’s bag but didn’t open it before looking at him and getting his permission.
