Bill_Door · November 2003

"Yes sir" I say over the comms.
*I advance towards the docking bay*
"Easier said than done..." I mutter

Parhelion · November 2003

*sees Bill approaching, and stops him with an upright palm*
"Hold up mate, they've all got their guns pointed this way...if we go out, we'll get shredded. Hey Sarge, let me have another ammo pack please!"

*sets his LMG on the floor, and grabs a spare magazine from his belt*
"It's old...but sometimes the tried and true are the best, eh?"
*hurls the ammo pack into the hangar and enters the bay, running in the opposite direction with LMG poised and ready to fire*

Cleric_Epoch · November 2003

*Spams a few ammo packs on he floor.*

Jimmeh · November 2003

*Runs around the corner towards the ship*
"Put your weapons down and come towards us"
[Fires a few shots into the air]

Bill_Door · November 2003

"Good thinking"
*I move up to the corner and lean out around the corner and [shoot the closest marine]*
"Ours is not to reason why
But to do or die..." I mutter.

deaincaelo · November 2003

hello, back from thanksgiving <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

*the red drains from my eyes and slowly reality returns*
"uh... where am I?"

*grab my arm*

"ow"

*notices the old waypoint at docking bay 2*
*gathers my wepons and goes to docking bay 2*

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

As you storm into the docking bay the 'marine' dropship leaves. You cover your faces as the backwash from the engines hits you.
Three 'marines' are on the floor. They are out cold as a result of the siege cannons sonic blasts.
Epoch begins to curse over the intercom and drops a phase gate next to you.

"Damn it they got away!!!"
"Build that phase gate and bring the prisioners back to marine start. The transport ship has arrived. They will be interagated back at Concorde Base."
"And I have restored control to the crew and they are taking the ship to the nearest space station."
"You've done well today guys. Lets pack it up and go home."

Day 2 - 09:11

Bill_Door · December 2003

*I pull out flexcuffs and cuff the marines arms behind their backs.*
"I'll be right on it"

I'm assuming we have flexcuffs, as we were going to take prisoners. They're alot like wire ties, but have two bits to allow both hands to be bound. They have to be cut to be removed

Some details <a href='http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/19-15/CH7.htm' target='_blank'>here</a>

Parhelion · December 2003

*builds the phase gate as Bill cuffs the marines' hands*
"Bad luck mates, you're coming home with us. I'll bet you're going to have a fun time when the admiral gets around to dealing with you three."
*watches the phase gate come online with a flash of white light, then grabs a newly-bound marine and phases back to base*

deaincaelo · December 2003

*hears over voicecomm*
"roger"
*heads to extraction*

spinviper · December 2003

*phases to rine start*

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

In marine start two spaceships await. One is the TSA dropship we arrived on. The other is a high security prisoner transport ship. The 'marines' are still concussed and offering no resistance as they are locked in their cells on the transport ship.

"Lock up those scum and we'll get back to base."
*Logs out of the command chair. And walks over to the drop ship stands at the doors and looks at a chronometer on my wrist.*
"Look at the time. We missed our alotted holoroom training <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>"
"But if your lucky we'll get back to base for lunch."

Day 2 - 09:15

Bill_Door · December 2003

*I phase to marine start*
"Damnnit, wanted to work on beating my all time best record on the range..."
*I walk toward the dropship*
"Lets go. I'm hungry."

deaincaelo · December 2003

*back at marine start*
"cha, i'm famished. lets get going."

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

The crew of the transport ship helps load the prisoners onto the carft and you all board the dropship.
The drop ships engines fire up and it lifts off out of the docking bay into space.
As you leave the pilot gives his pre-launch speach.

"We will shortly be leaving the Ariadne Arm, Destionation Yamova system. Home and base of the TSA."
"While the red light is active please remain in your seats with the saftey harness on."
"We will be passing through the Ariadne Phase Port."
"ETA 30 minutes, enjoy your flight."

The ship pulls away from the cruise linner and heads off towards the Phase Port.

"You did well today guys and gals."
"When we get back to base you should get a medic to look at your arm Dea."
"The rest off you go to mess hall."

deaincaelo · December 2003

"ow. i had forgotten. its still bleeding."
*holds arm to staunch the blood.*

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

The ship pulls into Concorde Base and you all move into the mess and start on lunch. Dea goes to the sick bay to get her wounds tended too.
Sgt. Epoch strolls up too your table and speacks to the team. 

"This is Pvt.Frantic. He's a recuit. I checked his profile, he's a technition but he's already done his hand to hand combat training. Make him feel welcome. He'll be attending the debriefing,"
*Reaches in to a pocket and pulls out some cigars*
"You guys did well. You deserve these."
*Hands you each a couple of cigars ($+50Cd added to your wallet$).*
"The debriefing on the mission will occur at 10:30. Get something to eat and freashen up. You can wear Civi's for the briefing."
"I'll see you later."
*Turns and walks away.*

Fingers in sitting at your table. When Sgt. Epoch is out of earshot he speaks to you in his usual quiet whisper, twidling his thumbs iddley, his eyes constantly shifting about the room.

"Hey guys, I 'aqqiured' some new items from that cuiser linner. You wanna see what I got?"

"Nope, no Kharaa experiance. Anyway, if its like training there shouldn't be too much problems with the Skulks."
*I rapidly put my LMG back together*
"So you passed jetpack training? Never could quite control the stupid pack I got... As soon as I took off I smashed into the roof. I prefer to keep both feet planed firmly on the floor, thank you very much! It helps that i seem to have a nack to the HA."
*I finish assembling the LMG*
