NoBeard unloads into the ork which grabs it's attention. The ork returns fire and clash of two armored behemoths weathering a storm of hot lead begins. The rest of the squad fall back up the stairs knowing that they can't survive such firepower. Except for Drartak Rug, who adds his own shots to the fight. Seconds later the psykout bomb hits the ork and lands right on the top side of his gun arm which the daemon-ork focuses on realizing...

"OH YOU SON OF A..." BOOM!

The explosion is strong enough to knock NoBeard and Corvus a couple steps back and Rug on his butt. When the smoke clears there is a mound of what was the ceiling laying where the ork was. Luckily only about 10 ft of roof caved in and the rest of tram station is intact. The squad enters the tram and begins spreading out across the room when the mound bursts apart revealing a ruined but still living ork. Its chain arm, right torso side and legs are still heavily armored but its left arm is gone as well as its ruined flesh is exposed on that side. It then rears back and......

WWWRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHbnvmnvkjggasklbdklaslsdnakml!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not letting it finish, everyone unloads into it. NoBeard having the best angle to its squishy side does the most damage. The daemon-ork screeches in pain and three tentacles sprout out of its exposed side shooting out and grappling NoBeard's right gun arm. With immense strength the creatures pulls NoBeard to it and delivers a blow which carves right threw the mech's left arm severing it at the elbow. The daemon-ork then attempts another attack but before he can deliver both Corvus and Rug tackle the ork off of Nobeard. Corvus manages to get a blow in with the Intoxicator which gets another scream of rage out of the Daemon but it is not deep enough to finish it. The Daemon-ork then knocks Corvus and Rug back and counters with two mighty chops of its great chainsaw. The first Corvus manages to jump back and interpose the Intoxicator but the clash sends Corvus crashing into the back wall only stumbling him a bit. Rug is not so lucky as he dodges he takes a glancing blow from what is a tank killing weapon. The chain blade easily pops his shields and causes a vicious, blood-splattering rend across his chest. Rug lands on his back with a gasp desperately trying to hold in his innards. The creature walks forward to finish off Rug and the rest of the squad attempt to down it with mass fire. Sadly almost everyone is positioned facing the creatures armored side, except for Corvus who is directly behind it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Torvar to Fury:

"Look, I can tell you that the Big Ork in there is the leader of the forces in this town and that if you can take him out...."

He turns to the screen and notices the explosion that drops the ceiling on the ork.

"Oh Wow, Ha ha, step one done I guess. As for communication all I know is that they built some kind of device behind the hospital. You won't be able to see from here but its in the middle of the parking lot on the other side. I can't promise that's a communication device but......."

He stops as you all turn to the screen again at the sound of a roar and watch the events play out. As Rug hits the ground Torvar reacts.

"Shit! I'll be damned if I witness another of my brothers dying in our town!"
He holds up his omni-tool and starts imputing a code. A second set of gate doors close behind you, leaving your forces as well as Torvar and his few armed men separated from the rest of the sewers and the civilians within. He then looks at Fury.

"Give the ready, and this door opens, then will kill that bastard."

OOC: If Fury gives the go, the gate will open with you team facing the orks exposed tentacle side. Note that you will be going from out of combat into combat so you may take actions after the gate opens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mag-Tay makes her way threw the vents like a xenomorph when she come across a lone grot that doesn't even have the time to be surprised before she slits its throat. When she makes it to the restroom she finds nothing inside and leaves her turrets. As she makes her way to the cafeteria the hole place shakes and she peers down one shaft to see the vents collapsed, luckily not in the direction she's going.

At the cafeteria, Mag-Tay can't make out the whole room so she undoes the vent and drops down. The first thing she notices is an ork sitting at a table eating and a grot pointing outside yelping frantically. Neither notice Mag-Tay do to her cloaking field. The ork gets fed up with the grot and takes a bite out of its face then proceeds to the door which leads to the main tram room. It peers threw the door and with a horrid grin unslings a rokkit launcher from its back and contrary to belief takes careful aim with the weapon. It is unknown who he is aiming at but it can't be good.

"Damn it. I just got this and I already lost one of it's arms. "

Nobeard moves towards the unarmored side while firing bursts to surpress the ork-thing. Hoping to move to a position where he can damage it.

Mag-Tay scans the room and quietly moves towards the Orc, once she is in range she will draw a sword and behead the orc. Provided she didn't see any other threats in the cafeteria she directs her turrets to give suppressing fire and sheaths her sword. Once she is certain that the daemon-ork is distracted she draws her machine gun and  throws the rokkit launcher in his general direction and shoots it, hopefully blowing it up in his face.

Drake decided to ready the Pheaston. "Fuck subtlety. Armor busters, hit the metal. Everyone else, kill the flesh!"

He came out firing in short bursts, and let the Shredders he brought do their work. "We are live, now! Kill this thing, and then follow me!"

Right, that's about enough of this. Tried to go do this as a Corvus special objective, but no, everyone follows the massive armored man who projects an aura of crazy. Really makes you question the sanity of this crew.

Corvus pushed himself of the wall and swapped the Intoxicator to his left hand.

" Usually when I put enough explosives to kill an armored vehicle into something they have the decency to die!"

And with that Corvus charged in, grabbing for the right arm with his own, trying to keep it from cutting Rug in half, while driving his sword into the creature's unarmored left side, hoping to find an internal organ and fill it with enough drugs to kill a zoo full of rhinos.

The rokkit lands at the creatures feet as Mag-Tay shoots it causing an explosion that seems to only enrage it. The creature charges forward and smashes into the cafeteria knocking Mag-Tay off her feet and into a nearby table. Corvus still grappling the creature succeeds in piercing its side and pours all the drugs and alcohol he can into it. A few seconds later the creature spasms and vomits up various chemicals and liquids before falling face first on the ground, dead.

The squad makes rounds checking to make sure no enemies are left. All seems clear. Caslius kneels over Rug, omni-tool in hand.

"Sir this is bad. The omni-jell has stopped the bleeding but half his organs are shredded. If he wasn't a krogan he would already be dead."

Torvar responds

"We could take him to the hospital, they have auto-surgery tables and one of my crew is a nurse so she knows how to use them. That is of course if the orks haven't destroyed them yet."

"We don't leave our troops behind." Fury looked to the one's with the lightest loads. "Grab a limb, and be ready for him to frenzy when his vitals start flickering. So keep a tight grip, and haul ass. Mag, Corvus, glad you aren't dead. Anything to report?"

"Outside a collapsed vent, nothing to report. With your leave I'll start scouting ahead." If given leave to do so she will check her map and reactivate her stealth and crawl along the ceiling hopefully spotting any trouble ahead.

Mag-Tay checks the trams map and finds the path connecting to the hospital so she scouts on ahead. At the end of the corridor there are elevators and a stairway leading up to the hospital. She makes her way up the stairs and find herself in the hospital. There is a grot in front of her that she dispatches and then she tosses the corpse back down the stairs. She then finds the hall leading to "Emergency" and follows it crawling across the ceiling. The path has some side rooms which she checks and finds no enemies. When she makes it to the emergency she see five large orks(Nobz) in heavy armor and caring large mult-barreled shootas(Snazzguns) and a hole lot of grots starting to dismantle the equipment. They appear to be led by the ork with a device on its back and caring what looks like a retrofitted legion plasma gun.

The rest of the squad is still back at the elevators waiting for Mag-Tay's signal. (Unless of course someone decides not to follow protocol and does there own thing anyway.) Also both the elevators and stairway are to small for Nobeards battle-suit to fit even with the missing arm.

OOC: The only person who had faced Snazzguns before is Corvus. This is the first encounter this squad has had with Flashgitz.

Mag-Tay backs up to the last room remembering the last time she relied on her invisibility when facing a cyber ork. She messages Fury ++Sir, I'm in the hospital, it's mostly smooth sailing. But I've found a group of unusually big orks, its hard to tell with them but they look unusually well armed. And the smaller ones are dismantling equipment. I'm Going Loud. Requesting back up.++ With the message sent she directs her Servitors to do a fly by hopefully leading them away from the equipment.

++Negative. Stay ghosted. Anvil is on the way, soon as McRageface figures out how they are getting here. The rest of Hammer will catch up, and we will strike second. I'm assuming no subtle options are open based on your report, so hang tight, and kill when we start, not before. If you still have charges, set them on a wall, and get ready to make us a hole, or at least send a tracking signal telling us where to make it.++

"Nobeard, as soon as you figure things out, we are going in. Corvus, if you can still do this, you get to lead the charge. You heard her. Five, well armed, heavy, probably cybered up - vanguard from the sounds of it." Drake activated his own stealth unit, and starting slipping forward. "Boys, we are going to kill some orks today, and bring back some new trophies."

"I'll have to do this in a bit more... mundane fashion then you're used to, but rest assured, they will get a death richly lusted after by their kind."

Now, Corvus from experience fighting Orks knows 2 very important things. If challenged to hit the broad side of a barn, a squad of Orks will hit literally everything but the barn, and anything resembling a hit was a lucky ricochet or shrapnel from another hit. His other important Ork fact is that their weapons are never quite what they seem, so parts from Legion or Citadel tech could be incorporated for looks, or to cause a massively unintended effect, like adding a pilot light from a flamer to a machine gun to make it shoot flaming bullets, since Ork technology doesn't really work so much as do what they believe it does. Up the stairs he climbed, as sneakily as a 7 foot tall murder machine clad in another foot of heavy armor can, and quickly into the closest side room to the emergency room he could.

++On my very obvious signal, wipe out the green skin with the shiny gun, then worry about the ones with the bullet hoses. Hopefully ripping the big ones apart will scare the children.++

Corvus pulled his bolt pistol with his right, and using just a little bit of warp dust, powered his arm up with a bit of biomancy before charging through the wall into the ER, using his element of surprise to try and grab the nearest ork with his Iron Arm to use as a orkish shield while hurling bolt pistol rounds at the one with the plasma gun, the weapon he knew his armor couldn't stop, unless it was actually some sort of nonsense ork machine, like a confetti launcher.

"Ah can't get up there with me suit. Let me go around and be a big distraction for the orks"

With that Nobeard heads down the tunnels to outside where he then navigates back to the hospital. Obviously using his remaining gun on any orks he sees.

Mag-Tay halts her drones and has them hover back out of sight until back up arrives.

Anvil squad makes it to Mag-Tay and on cue Corvus kool-aid man's threw the wall straight into the nearest Nob catching it in a vice grip in the throat and forcing it to drop its weapon. It attempts to break the grip and though quite strong it fails to break Corvus's psychically empowered hold. Then Corvus fires his bolt pistol at the plasma gun ork at the same time the rest of anvil squad fires from the opposing side. What would have been a deadly crossfire has been cut short when all the rounds explode against a barrier generated by the device on the back of the now confirmed Mek with the plasma gun.

The three Nobz unload onto anvil squad while the Mek focuses on Corvus. He fires full auto and hail of green plasma streak towards Corvus. Corvus manages to position the Nob in his possession into a make shift shield as he counter fires with his pistol. The Nob is obliterated into slag just as one of Corvus's shots bypasses the barrier and hits the plasma gun causing it to erupt in flames. The mek looks at his gun, which is still on fire and burning his arm, and with a spit of disdain he tosses his gun a side and draws a power stabba. With a roar of WAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!! he charges Corvus.

The shootout with the three other nobz isn't looking good for Anvil squad. Many have lost shields but have at least gotten out of site before the Nobs could finish the job. However Anvil has a problem for each second those snazz-guns fire means less and less cover to stand behind. One of the Nobz falls back into a side room and then a few seconds later the wall down the hall to the right of Anvil explodes as rounds go threw it. Its obvious the Nob is making a path so that it can get a clear shot on Anvil. At this time Hammer squad makes it to the scene.

As for the grots, they have panicked and are fleeing in all directions, many getting cut down by the crossfire.

OOC: About half the squad has lost shields and are taking cover until they recharge. Fury and Mag-Tay are still cloaked as well as the other scouts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobeard doubles back and makes his way to the hospital and finds himself near the parking lot. He see a group of about 10 orks and some grots milling about a large pile of scrap metal with two large electrified antenna sticking out of it. The orks notice the gunfire coming from within the hospital and are apparently arguing about what to do. They have not noticed you yet.

Well There is only one thing to do against the concentration of orks and grots. Spray them with massive amounts of Gunfire. Nobeard takes careful aim at the biggest ork then lets out a hail of bullets from his remaining PT44 cannon. Then walks the stream to the next ork. Firing a long burst until he is forced to let the cannon cool down.

Mag-Tay sees the Nob trying to flank Anvil and sends her servitors to run interference behind him. Then she takes advantage of the fact she is on the ceiling and uses the space between the ceiling and the top of the door as cover as she shoots Incendiary rounds into the group of Nobs bursting her shots out and ducking behind cover in hopes of not becoming a target.

Fury aimed to get closer, but without being accidentally shot to death by either Mag-Tay or his own squad. His target was the Snazz-Gunz, such as they were, and he aimed to close with them for the purposes of cutting them down with machine gun fire.

"Anvil, Mad Minute those big guns, now." He got into cover relative to the Snazz-Gunz, into a flanking position of his own, and unloaded the Pheaston into them at the moment when his own team began pouring gunfire into them, turning the tables and putting his foes into a crossfire.

Using another spell at the same time as using my Iron Arm is just asking for the Warp to play its tricks. So I'll need to play this like a standard deadly, heavily armored war machine.

Knowing his bolt pistol was out, and he could retrieve it when the fight was over Corvus hurled it at the Nobs, along with the remains of the one he was holding, hoping they'll at least be confused for a second, if not actually injured. With his non-power hand, Corvus drew the Intoxicator and charged the Mek, planning to parry the power stabber with his sword, and drive his psychically enhanced fist through the Mek's face.

" When I break all your equipment, have the decency to die you green fungus fucker!"

The Mek charges with a downward blow that Corvus parries and follows up with a warp empowered haymaker that knocks the Mek's jaw off. However such a minor wound doesn't stop the ork as he forces Corvus back threw the hole he made with madding barrage of attacks. The fight is even with both fighters incapable of getting a serious hit in however the backlash from clashing power blades combined with the structural damage of this room causes the floor below to collapse and both fighters fall into a waiting room below. The Mek recovers faster and manages to stab Corvus in the chest plate but before the blade can get past armor Corvus grabs the Mek's wrist holding the power stabba while at the same time stabbing the Mek in the side with his Intoxicator. The Mek responds with grabbing Corvus' sword arm in kind and now both warriors are enjoying a game of Who Can Gut Who First.

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

At the same time, one of the Nobs aims their Snazz gun at the oncoming Hammer squad and is about to unload when he is suddenly struck in the back of the head with a bolt pistol followed by a corpse that knocks him to the ground. Not one to miss an opportunity, Fury and Hammer squad gun down the poor snob before he could react. The Nob on the other side breaks threw the wall and is about to line up a shot on Anvil but instead gets shot in the side in turn by Magtay's drones. Enraged it turns its attention to the drones and manages to down one before getting shot in the face my MagTay which lights its head on fire. The Nob tries to put the fire out but gets gun down in the process.

However, not everything goes your way as Ruther losses his left arm and Epocus losses her right leg from the return fire from the last Nob. This Nob realizing that his mates are dead, his boss is gone and he has been shot a few dozen times decides it's in his best interest to leave and retreats by jumping threw a nearby window leading outside.

For Fury, MagTay and the squad, this fight is over. Casualties:

Ruther: Serious injury- loss of left arm below shoulder, in shock.

Epocus: Serious injury- loss of left leg below knee, incapacitated in pain.

MagTay's drone: Destroyed- is salvageable, will need shop.

Rug: Serious injury from last battle- with other Krogan waiting behind.

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

Outside Nobeard catches the Orks flatfooted and guns them down in kind. Just as the last ork drops the sound of glass shatters and a large Nob jumps from the upper floor of the hospital down to the parking lot. Nobeard aims his gun at the Nob and fires. Beep Beep Beep the gun overheats. The Nob notices Nobeard and raises his Snazzgun. Nobeard noticing the guns size doesn't want to test his mech's armor and takes cover behind the only vehicle large enough, a buss. The buss gets torn to shreds but last long enough for Nobeard's gun to cool but just as he is about to return fire something else catches his attention. The sound of an overly loud helicopter comes from behind the large scrap metal antenna and a Deffkopta armed with Rokkit-Launchas rises from behind it. Nobeard now has two problems.

Nobeard thinks to himself dripping with sarcasm.
Oh look, A flyer with Anti-Tank weaponry. What ever will I do?...
McRageFace directs His suit's computers to lock onto the Deffkopta And Fires one of his  Dirge-Hammer missiles at it and blow it out of the sky. All the While In cover relative to the Nob

One from Hammer, one from Anvil. "Ruther, Epocus - fall back with Rug and the other krogan. Your fight is done for today. The rest of you - we need to group up and move out."

++Acknowledged.++
++(insert appropriate name here mechanic specialist) could you recover what you can of servitor 1?++ She then with cloaking on descends the side of the building and sends the remaining servitor on recon, i.e early alert system for more incoming Orcs. For her part Mag-tay is looking for a good spot to shoot at the enemy from and have relatively good cover.

You know, you've been laboring at this a long time. I could help you know. Say the word.

Not now Skull, I've been wrestling this ork for what seems like forever. Problem is he's a strong as I am, and we're both trying our hardest to not get stabbed more. Sure I could sheathe and unsheathe the Intoxicator to use it like a stabbing knife, but that'll probably piss him off more.

So, what's your play? Drop the Iron Arm, take a stab to the chest and blow his brain out with your boltgun? Stare lovingly into his eyes, caress his face, start a loving relationship, have a house, 5 kids, a few fleshhounds, maybe a squig...

Nope, figured this out. It's going to be explosive and painful, but so worth it in the overkill category.

And with the Corvus had his grand and terribly stupid play. Using the Intoxicator to pour pure ryncol out of the blade and into the orcs innards, hopefully filling him just enough to cause the chain reaction he wanted, and maybe getting him drunk enough to weaken up a bit. For the time they'd been wrestling he was sure the ork was rambling on about krumping and waaghing, but he'd honestly tuned it out. Now was the time for glorious action.

"Hey squig breath. Burn."

And with that Corvus released the Iron Arm, going straight into his Molten Beam, firing it up into the ork's face from the arm he was resisting with, and directly into the ork's ryncol filled side with his sword hand. It might hurt to get stabbed in the chest by an ork, but hell, that's what redundant organs are for.

Mag-Tay proceeds outside, and gains a front row seat to a Deffkopta getting blown out the sky. The explosion nearly knocks Mag-Tay off the wall. The Deffkopta's pilot however, is still alive and in a last bit of spite steers the now crashing burning wreck straight into Nobeard. Fortunately, he misses, Unfortunately, he hits the bus. The resulting explosion is strong enough to throw Nobeard's mech to the ground and into the sits of the Flash Git who doesn't waist the opportunity and unloads. Shots rake across the mech doing decent damage and demolishing the mech's head costing Nobeard his 360% camera, the mech still has its frontal cameras. Mag-Tay recovers from the explosion and finds herself above the Flash Git gunning for Nobeard.

---------------------------------

Corvus lets go of the Power Stabba and the Mek pushes it deeper. It misses Corvus' heart but pierces one of his lungs. The Mek smiles is satisfaction then his cheeks puff out as he pukes out Ryncol in surprise, then Corvus blasts his face. The reaction is instant and if Corvus was a normal human he wouldn't of noticed the split second of the Mek swelling like a balloon before exploding. The explosion erupts to the upper floors and causes Fury and the rest of the squad to take cover. After the smoke clears Corvus appears in front of the squad, armor blackened, covered in ork guts, and a Power Stabba sticking from out of his chest.

After confirming all hostiles dead, The Krogan doctor makes her way into the badly damaged clinic. She makes her way to the back and uses her omni-tool to open a secret room leading to another emergency room. She turns...

"Lucky for you, we Krogans make are buildings as redundant as us. Bring the injured and strip them."

The other two krogan caring Rug bring him into the emergency room and after removing his, Epocus and Ruther's gear, they are placed within emergency care tanks. The krogan doctor begins procedures.

"I'll stabilize them. However, even with this equipment, Rug wont be ready for combat for 3 days, the others, 3 weeks. I can patch them up enough for retrieval but the rest of your mission wont evolve them."
