Luna gritted her teeth. Asshole.
"Fine.."
She got to her knees slowly, making no sudden movements. Her katana seemed to be tingling in its scabbard, as if it was screaming to be drawn and dispense some death to her captor.
No sudden movements..she raised her hands higher, placing them on her head.
She didn't like this submissive position..the first chance she got she was going to decapitate this guy..or possibly beat seven kinds of crap out of him if he was a friendly.

"Alright, no sudden movements..." You hear your captor slowly walk around you, careful to watch for movement. When he walks completely around you, recognize his pants as an Earth uniform.

"Oh shi- Uh, Private Edward Price, reporting for duty, SIR!" It's one of the crew! And a new one at that. Realizing his mistake, Edward stands at attention with a worried look on his face, and rightfully so. He just held up and potentially shot a superior officer. Wouldn't look good on his record...

[Icaelus]

Luna spun, low on the ground as she swept the private's feet from under him. Of course it had to be that idiot Mia saved.
She stood over him, eyebrow twitching with annoyance as she placed a hand on the katana.
Take a deep breath, Luna. Try to tolerate the idiot..
Luna did what she thought, dragging a deep breath into her lungs and exhaling out hard, letting out some of that annoyance.
She took her hold off her katana and pulled Edward to his feet.
"I really want to beat the hell out of you right now.."
Luna glared at the private as she walked back over the the cryo tube. The inside of it was so frosted up that she couldn't even make out anything from behind the frost.
She turned to glance at the private.
"Is Argoman still in there? And where is your Captain?"

Meanwhile, Greg is still trying to get an answer from Claire. "Hades?...Claire, do you copy?...dammit!" He doesn't know whether Claire's even alive right now, but chances are that she's still unconscious. Still, he can't just leave her here, so he does what he can to get her held close (for cushioning purposes, of course), then works his way out of the tree, using his own back to cushion the fall for her, seeing how he's built a little tougher. Once he's worked off the mild blunt sting from such a maneuver, he gets back on his feet, hoists her up over his shoulder, and starts walking.

Receiving Emile's transmission, Greg responds: "Copy, Noble 4. This is Beowulf...and please try to use code-names next time, okay?" *ahem* "Anyways, what's the situation?" It would be a good idea to stick with that, as their real names could give the Paladins a means by which to learn more about them...potentially, some info that can be used against them.

Emile sighs at hearing someone elses voice "I'm near the beach with Rich Bitch but she's knocked out and I can't move her and fight together so we're stuck for now. Also we're a couple of klicks away from a city so we might go there first afterwards to set up a base and find everyone else. Other than that my day is pretty dandy, How about yours?"

Eddy took a sigh of relief. "Who, Veega? Went off with the rest of the squad to find you guys. I had to stay and guard. And The Argonnaught? Still frozen. Looks untouched too, thankfully."

[Icaelus]

"Hmph. Guess everyone made it out alive. Would've guessed Spineless Coward wouldn't kick it just like that."
Luna shook her head with a sigh. Too bad, too bad..
She looked at the cryo tube. Looks like the big guy was still sleeping, even with all that ruckus. The problem now was the ship wasn't exactly functional..and where was that designated drop-off?
"Where's the drop off point? And I suppose we need to let Argoman out to walk there.."
Luna considered the possibilities. What would happen if he was let loose when they were still around?

"Spineless Coward...?" Eddy moved over to the Pod. "Anyways, only Veega has the key to open it. And he's not here, so...Hey, how's Mia?" The Private relaxed, leaning in to ask the question.

[Zender_Solarheart]

"You're with an unconscious girl too, huh? Well, mine doesn't seem that worse for wear at the moment, but we landed in a tree, with our weapons on the ground below. How the tree held us up after a re-entry drop, I don't know, but we're on the ground now." Greg pauses for a moment to re-acquire his and Claire's weapons (whatever weapons she brought that is, if any at all. Seriously, her profile doesn't have ANY listed, so how the fook should I know?). The machete is a little more "brutish" than most blades he uses for that special finesse in combat, but oh well.

"We're currently in the woods, but no city area in sight...hell, it's hard to see anything except trees right now. Perhaps you could set up a nav beacon or something at the city, so we can find you?" The Paladins' ability to trace such a beacon's signal is one he's unsure of, but it's better than nothing...

[dndman997]

Irvine cycled through his channels and got greg saying something about claire "what the hell greg you didnt hear her comm go off. she better be alright"

[Icaelus]

"Just my little nickname for Veega there. I'm crazy like that, you know?"
Luna gave Ed a dark smile. The smile faded as he asked about Mia. Shit. Totally forgot about her!
"Ah. Mia. Right. Better go fetch her. Left her outside just now."
She hurried along, signalling to Edward to stay put as she climbed out of the ship and ran down the stairs, squeezing through the narrow gap once again.
Hopefully the Paladin search parties haven't arrived yet.
Luna burst out into the open.
There she was. Mia, still unconscious and sitting at the wall she had left her.
She breathed a sigh of relief, walking over to her.
"You sleep like a log, Mia..seriously."
Luna muttered, kicking the message scratched on dirt out as she dragged Mia over to the apartment building. She would've carried her over, but strength was not one of her finer points.

[Reaver]

Emile nods at Greg's similar situation "Copy that Beowulf, I'll send up a beacon when i get to the city just make sure to get to the LZ fast because it will proably attract some pallys." With that he shuts off his comm and crouches next to Yolandi with a shotgun in hand waiting for her to wake up.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Responding to Irvine: "To be fair, we just fell onto this planet from orbit, and I'm guessing Hades and I got tossed around in this forest for a bit. I think me missing a little beeping isn't that unreasonable." Greg sighs, then continues: "Anyhow, don't worry much about us. Even if we do get attacked, my style is practically made for wooded guerrilla warfare." True enough on that one. Over range, Greg knows how to use burst-fire with his SMG...and heaven help any poor soul that gets too close, especially considering that machete he's packing.

[dndman997]

"well im with dax and resh here in a building we fell through its roof" he said through the comms

When Ed saw Luna with Mia, he ran over to help. Taking her off of Luna's hands, Ed carried her up the stairs and laid her down gently on the floor. "Aw geez, what happened?"

Emile:

In the distance, you hear the sound of human chatter, but you can't make out words.

Greg:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The loud birds suddenly stop. All of them. Something isn't right... You hear the sound on footsteps moving through the brush.

[Zender_Solarheart]

The sudden quelling of the birds' loud squawks puts Greg on edge, his instincts telling him that something's amiss...then, the sound of footsteps in the brush confirms his suspicions. He quickly tells Irvine "I'll have to call you back..." while setting Claire down in the nearest patch of tall plant-life that can mask her form (though obviously a safe plant to hide among), then readies his SMG in his right hand and his machete in the left, keeping his eyes peeled for the first sign of a hostile approach. He also has his ears peeled for sounds of rear-bound attackers, steadily turning in circles to adjust his field of vision, occasionally turning 180 degrees back around, just in case someone gets extra-sneaky with him.

(Don't even think about it, wise guys...I'm in a bad mood today...)

[Lady Foxy]

Mia had only a bizarre memory of the latest events.. But hey, all that mattered was that she was with her brother now, running across the fields of his house across the countryside.. Wait, it wasn't all right. Even though she replayed a lovely memory and ideal one, it all seemed too.. 'Off' for her.

'Wake up' she told herself.. 'You can't be taken down like this' she said again.. 'Wake up, now!'..

''Sweet.. Jesus..'' Mia coughed out before finding herself laying on the floor, all right. Two blurry figures were in front of her, her vision doing no good to help her recognize them. Their voices were.. A bit difficult to figure out as well.

After the little aftershock moment passed, she slowly leaned forward and pulled out her pistol. Quick and smooth.

''All right, don't make any sudden moves. I can shoo.. Luna?..'' She said before attempting to sit up, groaning loudly as her body felt a bit.. Painful. Healthy, no broken bones but painful.

[Reaver]

Emile curses quietly when he hears the sounds of people coming, deciding that he has to get Yolandi to safety first before engaging the enemy he crouches even lower and picks up Yolandi and her weapon again before slowly and quietly moving forward into the grass towards the city. Once in a while he'll smack Yolandi on the ass in hopes of waking her up, he just hopes she doesn't holler when she comes to. "It's a lot better than slaping her awake." he decides while moving through the grass.

[Icaelus]

"Well, I think we fell out of the ship. Our armor protected us, but I'm sure Mia will be sore when she wakes up."
Luna rubbed the back of her neck, where she herself was quite sore actually. Hurtling out of a ship as it crashed was not the best way to go to sleep.
"Oh, a transmission."
She glanced down at her comm. Several messages, in fact. She had been a bit distracted just now and ignored everything else...easy to do when someone had his gun muzzled nudging the back of your head.
Luna glared at Ed, before raising the comm to her mouth.
"Lunatic here. Anyone receiving this message, I am with the precious cargo with Phoenix."
She spoke into the comm. Beowulf or someone else would pick up, hopefully.
Luna glanced down as her name was called. Mia?
"Have a nice nap, Mia? Put that away before you blow someone's brain out."
She grinned at her, hands raised in mock surrender.

Yolandi finally jerked awake. "uuughnnn" she moaned grabbing her head. She had never been dropped before and on the landing had hit her head. she was groggy but grabbed Natalie off Emile's shoulder and deployed herself. "I'm up" she said quietly scanning the area. "Just lead the way i'll follow and if anything gets lary i'll shoot it."
