"did you have a nice nap?" irvine asked claire. knowing she wouldnt say anything but it still didnt hurt to ask

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire yawns again. She nods and looks around.

[Lady Foxy]

Mia glanced at Luna and gave a slight nod then glanced at her communicator before sending a message back to the private.

''Oh, I see.. Well, I'm going to be discharged after this is done.. That -thing- is going to take my job and the job of a lot of the people in the ship right now.. So, this isn't as exciting as it may seem for me.. It's not bothering me that much, but I don't know if you can understand. Also, I never got to know your name! Mine's Mia!'' She sent the message while playfully giving the private a smile, looking away while trying to see what was happening around her.

Resh:

Your gun has been polished and cleaned, and shines slightly. Other then that, no changes to the gun itself are visible.

Mia:

The Private's face doesn't move, but you notice he hesitates before responding. His hands move furiously, typing out the message without even looking at that his wrist.

"No, I can't understand... Discharge, that's awful! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't be here... But yea, I can see why you wouldn't be too excited to be here. Anyways, my name is Edward Price, but most call me Eddy. Nice to finally meet you! Mia, that's a really pretty name you've got."

[Icaelus]

Luna nodded back towards Mia. Seemed like she wasn't in the mood for much conversation..
She stared at the cryo tube, only being able to make out a human shape in it. Obviously..what, Argoman was an alien?
Her gray eyes travelled outside to deck, a crowd of crew members smartly saluting the transport and waving a huge banner. Seemed like they were pretty happy about their discharge..
"I wonder what'll happen to us after the discharge? This is..the only thing I can do now."
Luna muttered, mostly to herself as she stared at her finger, playing with a spare bullet out of one of her ammo pouches. The bullet travelled almost fluidly through her fingers, seeming more like molten metal than actually a object of death.

[Lady Foxy]

Mia frowned at his reaction but smiled too, glad to be understood by the private as she offered him a glance. Had he seriously tried to be a little bit more than charming? She typed back a message and playfully poked his left foot with her right.

--''Edward? That's a nice name too, thanks for the compliment!.. Say, what was that wink for back in the Medical Bay? Want to tell me something, Private? ;3''--

And without a word, Mia looked away innocently while trying to hold back a smirk.

(Working on the next story post, sorry it's taking long. Should be done either tonight or tomorrow.)

Mia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You notice Eddy thinking before replying this time. He even started typing one out, then stopped and erased it, starting over. "What, did I wink? I was trying to blink, but I think my other eye was so swollen I couldn't close it." Eddy sits for a few seconds before his hand is typing again. "What if I was winking?"

[kaibunny94]

Yolandi smiled at Natalie in a motherly way itching to get out and kill

[daxtinator396]

Dax turns to Resh with a question,"What do you think we`ll find when we get down there?"

[jayjaycaps]

(FUCK! I started, but accidentally closed the tab. FOR THE THIRD TIME. Screw it, you guys get the shortened version.)

Alright, point is, you guys got ripped to shreds by some gun on the planet's surface. Floating through space, your armor kicks in, deploying it's breather mask for you. But it also went into Lockdown, stiffening to prevent any broken bones. You all black out from the force of another bullet, this one going straight to the Intuition. All you feel and see before blacking out is the pull of gravity from Avon, and the big o'l blue/green ball getting bigger.

Emile and Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You two awake on a beach, with stiff bones and sore joints. Seems you landed in the ocean, but drifted back to shore. In front of you is a large grass land, with tall grass about waist high. In the distance is a large city with sky scrapers and smoke.

Claire and Greg:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You both wake up in a tree. Based on the branches and scratches to your armor, you both guess you landed on a forest, hitting trees and branches, slowly slowing down. You both feel very sore, despite your armor's lock down. It isn't a far drop tot he ground, and you can both see your weapons have fallen off, landing below you.

Dax, Resh and Irvine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The three of you wake up in what looks like the basement of a building. Three human sized holes shine light through the ceiling, being the only light in the room. You must have hit the roof and fallen through until you hit the bottom. Your suits have held up fine, but you still feel stiff and sore. The room is dark, save for the spot lights on the three of you.

Mia and Lunalesca:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The two of you wake up on the street of a city. Your armor has protected you, but you feel a little stiff and sore. Sky scrapers loom above, and smoke fills the sky. The sky looks red and black from the smoke. You notice in a near by apartment building the back end of a certain transport craft flying Earth colors is lodged into the side, smoke and flames billowing out.

[daxtinator396]

"Fuck a duck! That hurt!" Dax sits up his muscles complaining loudly as he looks around,"Alright everyone okay?"

[Zender_Solarheart]

Greg slowly regains his senses after that mind-rattling experience, and his sight is the first to return. He can just barely make out a lot of green around him, with bits of brown in the blurred mix. Judging by that, he can guess that he's in a tree, which likely cushioned his fall from orbit. How such trees managed to do so without permanently injuring him, he doesn't know...but it's not like he's complaining.

The sore pain, however, is more worthy of complaint, as it feels as if he had just been struck by one-two punches at every spot on his body. "Urrrgh..." It's been a while since lingering pain has been strong enough to elicit such a groan, seeing how he can normally tank through mere aching rather well. Wouldn't be able to keep up his close-range shock trooper routine otherwise, considering how much stress it can put on his muscles at times.

As his vision grows clearer, Greg can see that Claire is held up on some branches near him, clearly lacking in weapons...in fact, his own weapons are gone, too. Oh wait, no they aren't...they're just on the ground beneath him, as are Claire's. After doing what he has to in order to cancel the armor lockdown (assuming it didn't auto-cancel), he tries to contact Claire with short-range voice chat. "Hades, this is Beowulf. What's your status, over?" He uses code-names here, in case any hostiles are close enough to hack into their voice-comm frequency...hey, you never know...

[Reaver]

Emile groans when he wakes "Damn last time i was this sore I was jumping from a ship in orbit." He turns his head and sees Yolandi still out and that brings him out of his weariness. Emile jumps up and runs next to her "Shit, Yolandi wake up, fuck come on wake up." He looks around knowing it's only a matter of time before the paladins comb the beach for survivors. Knowing he probably has no time left he checks his helmet, weapons and knife before grabbing Yolandi's "Natalie" and Yolandi herself hoisting each over each shoulder and running towards the tall grass to hide, hoping she'll wake up soon. While hiding there he tries to contact the other team members using the helmet communication system.

[Icaelus]

Luna opened her eyes, staring out at the smoky sky. She sat up in silence, raising a hand and flexing her fingers to make sure of her motor functions. All good.
She gave her surroundings a quick survery. Sky scrapers towered above her..or them, as her gray eyes settled on an unconscious Mia just a few feet away. They must've landed together...
"Ugh. Just what happened?"
Luna gritted her teeth, running a hand through her hair in frustration as she tried to recall what had happened. She could only vaguely remember bullets ripping through the hull of the ship..someone screaming Jump, jump!
She had heeded that advice. The ship was going down and nothing could've saved it. Then everything had went dark.
And of course she was as stiff as hell. Ouch.
Luna trudged over to the prone Mia, making sure all her equipment was in place..Katana, check..Guns, check..Aphrodisiac, check!
"Mia. You still alive?"
She crouched down beside her, checking her vitals. Steady pulse, just sleeping. Good.
"Still breathing, then. Wonder what happened to Argom-"
Luna cut off mid-sentence as smoke blew away to reveal the ship lodged into the side of an apartment building.
Better check if Argoman was okay, then.
She pulled Mia to the side, sitting her upright against a brick wall just outside the apartment building.
"Exploring...I..am..inside..the..apartment..building..Luna.
Luna scratched a short message into the dirt in front of Mia. She couldn't miss it.
Right. Time to go check on Argoman.
She stood up, striding into the apartment building. The place was desolate, debris from the crash lying around everywhere. Most of the staircases were inaccessible, but Luna managed to squeeze through one of them to the floor where the ship was lodged.
A third of the floor was decimated by the crash, replaced with transport ship. Surprisingly everyone had made it out..no sign of any bodies. Argoman was probably still in there, though..
Luna lowered herself into the ship, noticing the cryotube as soon as she stepped down. Hadn't even cracked, too. That was some tough glass right there..
She strode right up to it, knocking on the glass.
"Argoman, you awake? Still alive and kicking?"
She called out, wondering if he could even hear her.

[dndman997]

After hitting the ground hard irvine sat up holding his head his vision being blurred "oww that wasnt pleasant" he said hearing dax "yeah i guess im alright but were the hell are we" he then looked around when his vision cleared and noticed not everyone landed with him and dax and clicked on his com, glad that it was still functioning, and decided to send a message to claire "claire are you alright? im not entirely sure what happened but we are all separated."

Luna:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Upstairs you find the ship on fire, the back half of the cargo hold stuck. The crew is nowhere to be found, but neither is their gear. In the center of the room, rather conveniently, is the Cryo-Pod. You notice scrap marks on the floor, like someone dragged it there. Bits of the room is on fire, and you heard footsteps. Too little too late however, as you feel the muzzle of a gun press against the back of your head. "Alright, hands up, guns down buddy."

Emile and Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Once in the grass, you feel well hidden. Someone would have to have an overhead view, or walk right on top of you to be able to see you.

[Reaver]

Emile gently places Yolandi and her gun on the grass before trying each frequency. "This is Noble 4 I repeat Noble 4, if anyone else is alive please respond." While he waits he takes out his shotgun just incase someone feels like peeking through the grass.

[Icaelus]

Luna tensed, her body stiffening. She had heard the footsteps way too late..and now a gun muzzle was pressed right against her head. Shit. She would've liked to think her katana was faster than that gun, but no way that was going to happen in anything else other than a movie.
She resisted the urge to grasp her katana as she raised her hands in almost mocking surrender. She was going to have to reflect on this mistake if she lived through this..
"Hands raised. Who are you?"
The question was simple, and hopefully wouldn't anger whoever was holding her at gunpoint now. She liked her head as it was.

[jayjaycaps]

Emile:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You are met by a very, VERY weak signal. "This is vjhnewbuirvcVeegavfbehiqbuovceiStruckdownvfheuakbvchecityvbefhaulovcbe Argovncehilavnek---- The signal cuts out, but you can hear gunfire in the background.

Luna:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"On your knees, hands on your head. NOW." Seems whoever it is isn't happy, and isn't in the mood for your sarcastic bullshit.

[Reaver]

Emile turns off the comm and punches the ground leaving a nice dent in it "Fuck, we need to move." he looks back at Yolandi for any movement from her "Come on Yolandi we need to get out of here." Emile tries his comm once again "Greg can you hear me? THIS IS NOBLE 4, I repeat NOBLE 4."
