Project Argonaut IC

[Zender_Solarheart]

Assessing the situation thus far, Greg begins to weigh his options. If he lets the small group get away, it'll help them maintain a low profile...but on the other hand, they might have things that they could make use of. Perhaps a key-card, or some special intel...though, there's nothing saying that they're alone, and snipers may be concealed nearby, as well...

Well, he won't know unless he looks to find out, so Greg turns back to Claire and gestures for her to stay low and quiet (military hand signs, and such), then begins slowly creeping up towards the group, being careful not to make any noise or expose himself. His current aim is simply to assess whatever defenses they might have, but for now, he won't open fire unless they shoot at him first...

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire slowly and quietly walks over to Greg. She looks down on her communication device and mutes it, so the group can not hear Greg coming. She walks up next to Greg and gestures that she can be used as bait, then he could attack the group.

Emile curses in his helmet and does some quick army sign language to talk to Yolandi which pretty much said this "Fuck Fuck Fuck, Listen we got people incoming, So when they get to us we are going to jump them and shoot the shit out of them okay?" He pulls his shotgun and lays on the ground with his gun pointed in the direction of the voices. He takes two grenades off his belt and rolls one to Yolandi with a nod of his head. He tries his comm another time "This is Noble 4, I repeat Noble 4. I am on all Team Frequentcies, Me and Rich Bitch are about to engage enemy near the beach, Unknown amount of enemies and not exactly sure how this is going down, But they are looking for survivors and they know where the pod is. Noble out." He leaves it on just incase so if the enemy gives more info and he can't report they will know. He pumps his shotgun once and mutters "lets fucking dance bitches"

There was a soft whine as Natalie started to spin up, Yolandi grinned and watched as the enemy sauntered lazily not expecting the hail of pain they were about to receive. she noticed the grenade at her foot and decided it was a last resort.

Dax grins sheepishly at Irvine`s answer,"Oh... yeah lemme just use mine." He puts in an earpiece in his left ear so he can listen in on the team frequency. He sends out a short message on the team band,"This is Ghost, We`ve landed in an abandoned building. If anyone can hear this please respond." Then noticing some steps he didnt see before heads up them catiously, his SMG in the ready position as he motioned for Irvine to follow.

[Reaver]

Emile picks up Dax's message on the frequency "Copy that Ghost, Me and Rich Bitch is about to engage the enemy so keep chatter to a low please."

[Zender_Solarheart]

Considering Claire's suggestion, Greg pauses for a brief moment to consider it...but decides against it. In hand-signs, he responds: (Negative. Your specialty is stealth, from what I know, but mine's a little more...'direct.' If you want to help, keep an eye out for snipers.) Considering the given scenario, it'll be easier if Greg draws their attention, given that he's the one with better equipment for open combat, while Claire picks off any long-rangers (assuming that she actually has a sniper rifle or something, of course).

Then he hears Ghost's message, suppresses the urge to yelp out an "oh shit," and instead simply hides crouched behind a nearby tree, then sends a text message back:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

This is Beowulf. Preparing to engage some targets of my own. Maintain radio silence. Beowulf out.

Seriously, they couldn't have timed that one much worse...here's hoping the enemy didn't pick up on that...

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You can both see the group of men. They stand in a clearing, most with their backs to you. Their armor is Paladin make, and the emblems on their shoulders of a burning Earth confirms their allegiance.It looks like they didn't hear your message, Greg. They seem to be standing around what looks like a cross between a cage and a Cryo-Pod, much like the one the Argonnaugh is in.

Emile and Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You hear some whispering, and then the foot steps quicken. Seems they heard you... The intruders are practically right in front of you, but you can't tell how many.

[Reaver]

Emile rolls his eyes before ripping the pin off and throwing the grenade. Then he jumps up almost right in front of the first guy and promptly cuts his neck with his now drawn knife while blast the second closest guy with a shotgun blast. He doesn't even bother to look at Yolandi knowing how this might end, He even yells at her "Yolandi you need to get the fuck out of here, You got maybe 2 minutes before reinforcements arrive and you don't want to be here. GO NOW and make sure this mission is a success." He concetrates on blasting every person he sees while slashing anyone that gets too close.

Luna lowered her hands, standing back up. Ed seemed to be receiving a message..and she had some of her own, too. She rapidly flipped through the channels, catching a few snippets of chatter from her teammates here and there. Ghost was about to engage the enemy, who seemed to know where the pod was. Not good, but Ghost would hopefully take them all out. Beowulf was also about to go into combat, but she wasn't too worried about him. He seemed like he could handle himself.
Luna lowered the comm. Here she was, babysitting Argoman while half the squad was about to engage the enemy. She sighed, shaking her head. Useless. Her mood perked up as Ed picked up his rifle, slapping a fresh clip into the gun while he spoke.
Seemed like Spineless Coward was in a spot of trouble and they were going to help him out. Luna shrugged. Not the person she was too keen on helping, but if it did mean some action...
"Let's get moving, then. Are all of us going to go or does one of us have to stay here and guard the big man?"
Luna pointed to the Argonnaught. She was rearing to go and definitely wouldn't be too happy about being stuck with guard duty.

[kaibunny94]

"YOU DONT LEAVE A MAN BEHIND 4!" she shouts opening up and lighting the horizon up with bullets

[Reaver]

Emile laughs loudly "I WAS SO HOPING YOU WOULD SAY THAT" he blasts another guy in the gut before moving to her back. he chuckles softly "back to back just me and you against the world."

[kaibunny94]

"lets fuck it up!" she yells the bullets flaying like a wall.

[daxtinator396]

Dax reaches the ground floor of the building and pressing himself agianst the wall of the building peeks out one of the windows to gauge his surroundings and find out where they are exactly.

[dndman997]

"do you know were we are dax?" Irvine asked "cuz i have no clue"

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire looks around to see if there is more to the group, or if there's any snipers. She walks closer to the group and tries to get another look.

[daxtinator396]

"I haven`t the foggiest idea. and everyone else seems to be otherwise engaged or about to be. While you were talking to people on the team band did you happen to find out anything?" Dax continues scanning thruogh the window hoping to glean some intel from his surroundings.

[dndman997]

"other than we are all scattered?" irvine said "nope nothing"

[jayjaycaps]

Emile and Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Emile killed two guys, the third was left writhing on the ground in pain. Yolandi's bullet shower causes several to drop, but the kills are unconfirmed. The men are Paladins, confirmed by their armor color and their emblems, an Earth on fire. You notice however, that the field is FULL of Paladins, numbering (from what you can tell) somewhere around 150. They are spread out though, and most won't reach you for a while. For the time being, a group of about ten surround you, but not close enough to knife. They quickly pull out their rifles and take aim. "HANDS ON YOUR HEAD, GUNS DOWN, NOW. DON'T MOVE AND WE WILL NOT SHOOT."

Claire and Greg:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Claire cannot see any snipers. From her closer position however, she can see what looks like a large, hunched over figure inside the cage. One Paladin who was sitting down stands up, and brushes herself off. Oh yea, this one is for sure a girl. "Right boys, let's move. The big guy needs to be at the crash site by sun down, and I don't wanna be late for when it opens." The men grumble and stand, or get ready to move. They number at about 25, and should be no problem for skilled warriors such as yourselves.

Luna and Mia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

"Veega says he wants all of us. Says it should be alright to leave him for now. Come on, he's just north of us." Ed starts down the stairs, leading the way.

Dax, Irvine and Resh:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Upstairs looks like some sort of apartment building lobby. However, hanging off the walls are several banners with the Paladin's logo, the Earth on fire. Seems you have landed in a snake's nest...

[dndman997]

seeing the banners he just stared at them "oh fuckberries"
