at least the comm is down well hopefully

Well Echo didn't say take the operator alive, he said has to stop the communications so she is going to try her best.

It was made to be an Armor sized shockstick.  He may be unconscious, but there is almost no reason to suspect that the pilot is by any means out of position to be useful in an hour or two... if not otherwise awakened.

Dropped Sony's call for jamming as Echo expecting the higher ups to know our freq hopping plan to monitor us, thus they can hear her medevac call.

We better be able to talk to each other Sony is needed to tend the POW asap.

Ut oh! I just thought of something... Does the situation with Decker mean that I am about to get a whipping since I sent him up there?

He did take out the tower.

And he did take part of a Hell Week mission so will pass the course.

Passing is about showing the capacity to conduct a military operation.

i forgot wheres the artillery

The arty pit was at the hill firebase in B3 (IIRC). You guys didn't go there.

Co-incidently its jungle patrols are have a real messy time looking for the debris of your drop pods.

The arty should not be an issue they will not fire if we are mixed in with friendlies and need precise targeting to matter.

who's to say they don't have a spotter or care if they hit friendlies

All depends on whose firing and what their training is.

Yes, the mortar at the hill base has the range to fire into this one.

Speaking of spotters....

There was that jungle patrol, guys in the jeep and two guards at the dock. :-)

Well we can always take out the arty or take over the base to support the attack on their primary compound with the arty, she will do what she is told to do.

If they fire one round of artillery they are going to have a simulated Orbital strike to deal with.

Echo is supposed to be upstairs checking the comm freqs.

Ah my bad. Thought you were going down.

I did roll Demolitions just forgot to paste it it was an eight assuming memory or calculation and demolitions for a +5 bonus.

Apologies on being AWOL on Friday folks, you were kind of busy since I last posted (20 messages). Anyway I'm going to re-read the Mission and respond.

Oh don't forget Boomer's Wedding thread, you all can have the characters come if you want its at least a chance to role-play out of Hell Week then onto the wedding after a hopeful graduation.

Graduation should be good the specialty schools are more intimate so there should be ample pomp and chest pumping out and patriotism. :D

i have a question would it be possible to shut the air off in the bunker?

You could find and plug up the air intakes on the bunker.

To survive a nuke strike the bunker would have to have a life support system of some sort so it could last some time cut off. It would be on the order of days - weeks depending on the system and amount of people.

It is also possible the bunker has wiring going to the base computers or communications gear. Certainly would have some surface condition sensors to tell those inside if it was safe to come out.

Why would they have air intakes if its a "modern" bunker it could have a self-contained system like a suit that could go on for a month or more. And if they had computer or other connections they would be using them. My guess its a safe room with enough food and water plus an alerting system that could go on for weeks. I figure it will be better to not bother with them and make sure they can't get out to cause trouble.

we could just wield the door with a flamer thrower

In reply to Boomer (msg # 754):

That's kinda what I was saying.

a) There is air intakes to freshen the air if they can use that air.

b) It can go on sealed for a long time.

c) both of the above

the answer is c.
