w40k: Autumn Soldiers RP IC

[Gorbaz]

Katherine looks up at the junior Commissar, a very breif blush coming over her at thesmile, before she cleared her throat, released her harness, grabbed a shovel, and climbed out of the ship. She started to dig away, her speed slower than most of the other guardsmen, given her lack of strength. She started to repeat a mantra to herself as she worked. "Orks are dumb, Orks are cowards. Orks are dumb, Orks are cowards..."

[Demon]

Amaya dozed off for a while before landing, trying to raise her morale, but as soon as she heard a command, she rushed into work. Looking a little more nervous than usual, she grabbed her shovel and started digging. Seconds after, she looked around, seen all the other worried guardsmen,the city and incoming transports.

Garian was digging by Katherine and heard her repeating things about the Orks, he stopped shoveling and put a hand on her shoulder, "Do not underestimate your enemy, or you will be surprised by what they do." He told her, "My father and the Instructor have both fought against Orks in their time, my father told me that some of them are intelligent enough to look for holes in our defense, the Instructor told me that they will continue fighting until either our man power dwindles, or theirs do." He told her, he gripped her shoulder slightly and smiled a bit, "To call an Ork dumb, or even a coward, will probably get you killed." He gave a slight chuckle and started back to work, shoveling out the trench. Other platoons were also working on the trench, the platoons connecting their trenches to one another to help increase the defense, others were out in the field, planting mines.
Behind them, 200 kilometers away, was another trench being built, followed by one at 500 Kilometers, and then a third one at 700 kilometers, the last one is right at the entrance to the hive city itself, 950 kilometers away. Around the Hive city was a large rock wall, impassable, meaning that the Autumn Soldiers were guarding the only way in or out for the Orks. Ahead of them, past the opened planes, was a large forest, probably a fallback point for the Orks, and farther out was smoke and fire, the skies past that point were red and black, filled with fire, smoke, debris, and ash from the Ork Onslaught.

Katherine stopped digging as Garian put his hand on her shoulder. She cast her eyes down and sighed both at herself, and at the non-oo-great indentation she had made in the ground with her spade. "Yeah, ok. So all Orks arn't scavving dumb brutes, like that Sick Rot, or whatever his name was, that was mentioned in the shuttle. Sure, I've heard stores about them, about Eldar, feth, even about those freaky Tyranid things. But this will be my first true taste of combat. Two years of training and stories to get here, and I'm not about to fething die on some random mudball because my brain freezes up through terror before we've even met the enemy!". She looked up, this time with a steely determination in her eyes. "I'm going to live through this fight, and if reassuring my mind that those stinking green xenos are dumb, brutish cowards who use smaller creatures for cover, then so be it. It's not like I plan to get close enough to stick a few with three inches of the Imperium's finest iron, strapped to the front of my gun"

[That_One_Guy]

Garian stopped and bellowed out a laugh before turning his eyes towards her, his sky-blue eyes were now cold and his smile was cruel, "If that is what you want to see, then so be it, I for one am going to do as we are trained to do and look death in the eye and kill as many of those greenskins as I could, and if they even get near the Trench, I will kill as many of them as I can with my bayo-" He never finished as the Instructor smashed his left, non-cybernetic arm into the back of Garian's head, knocking him to the ground before picking him back up.
"No one here said to stop and talk, Guardsman Jorell, for that you got 3 days a week to spar with me instead of 2." He told him and then looked at Katherine, "You stopping as well?" He asked her, meaning he was letting her go this time.

[Gorbaz]

"Sir no sir! Just switching hands, sir!" Katherine gave a salute to the instructor before she started digging again, this time in silence. Once she was sure that the instructor had wandered off, she whispered to Garian "Sorry!"

[Reapergod36]

Celeste looked to the instructor, "My apologies, sir... My mind was focused somewhere else. I'll keep them working.. You won't need to come by again.." She said as she sighed, as it was one of her proudest moments as she was leading soldiers. That for once, might be able to hold their own.. But she was too distracted by petty mind games, and her own self indulgence. Then leading her squad..... She stood straight up as she always had. Her sensual smile broke into a sad look. She turned away so the guardsmen couldn't see. Her arms began to shake, as she balled her hands to fists. Then out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a guardsmen nodding off complaining of being tired. As her hand shook, she gripped her pistol aiming it at the guardsmen's head. From a far distance she yelled out to Commissar Usikar, "Commissar, permission to execute." As she had lead squads before, but only on her own. Under the command of Commissar Usikar, she felt she might need permission.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian looked up at her and gave a friendly smile, "It's alright, I shouldn't have gone off on ya with my realistic views." He told her and began working.

Usikar looked over at her and shook his head, "A soldier who is tired is a soldier who has never seen battle, they are all tired, would that mean killing them all?" He asked her, walking up and looked at the soldier, who looked fearful at both of them, "What is your name, guardsman?" He asked politely.
"Steins, Commissar Usikar, sir." He said, fear in his voice."
Usikar looked at Celeste, "We will not kill them for nodding off now, but later, after a battle or two, then you may shoot them without permission. For now though..." His friendly smile quickly, abruptly, and, putting fear in even the Instructor who was nearby, suddenly turned into a cold killer's frown as he turned towards the Guardsman and butted him with the metallic back of his pistol, knocking out several teeth, putting a gash on the left side of his face, and bruising most of his left cheek to the point of being near unrecognizable for a while. He turned back to Celeste. "Punch them as hard as you can whenever they nod off...or have the Instructor with you, he will instill fear in them. Mainly because he fought all of the Emperors Enemies, including a one on one fight with a Tyranid Lictor and lived." He then walked away, kicking another drowsy guardsman in the gut to wake him up.

[Reapergod36]

Celeste briefly got a fanatical smile on her face, at the smack. But then it boiled down to her normal sensual smile. She put away her pistol, and began tapping her power sword against her right thigh. Walking down the line.

Ba'al kept digging wondering to himself why dig trenches. they are nothing but tight spaces. not many places to get out if need. He just keeps to himself and hums a tune from his childhood.

[MelissaB]

Jessica looked over at the scene before quickly getting back to work placing all her gear otherthan her sword behind her on the ground. Jessica continued to dig tirelessly speaking under her breath to nearest soldier. "Do you know how deep these trenches are meant to be and if we're making them slope at the back?"

[Demon]

Amaya kept digging, ignoring her environment and humming a merry tone to calm her nerves. She occasionally looked at the others, to make sure the trench is right. (If an Int roll is allowed to improve it, rolled a 14 on the d20 [add int])

[thedude9351]

Hank was lost in his thoughts finally jumps out of the ship grabs a shovel and piles in next to ba'al and kay and starts digging, due to his strength(16 got a 5 with a d10 if a strength roll is allowed) he is digging with ease and starts pulling his own weight and some of kay's seeing as she's getting a little winded "Commissar should pick and someone his own size"he spoke low.

[Reapergod36]

Walking back Celeste overheard Hank, and swiftly gave him a kick in the face with her heel'd boot. "Less insulting your superiors, more digging the trenches that will keep you alive."

[thedude9351]

getting kicked in the face was no bed of roses, but he was used to getting hit and wasn't about to be pushed around, so Hank stood at attention "Thank you ma'am may i have another!?"

[Reapergod36]

"Yes." She stomped down onto him, and presses his head to the back trench wall. "I would hope your less disobedient in battle.."

[thedude9351]

that stomp rocked him but he wasn't about to admit it he just grins with a bloody mouth "hope you live long enough to find out ma'am "

[dndman997]

As Ba'al digs the trench he hears what is going on between hank and the junior commissar glancing over at them "hey the sooner we get these things dug and finished" he says while still digging. his ID tags dangling around his neck "so its time to dig in and be ready soon as we can"

[That_One_Guy]

The Instructor saw the Disobedient Hank and walked up to him, using his augmented Arm, he grabbed Hank and lifted him into the air by his neck, choking him to near death now, "Soldier, you would do wisely to listen to your superiors, the next words out of your mouth better be 'Yes Sir' because if they are not, then I will snap your neck." He told him coldly, he didn't have a problem with killing, not one bit.

The soldier looked at Katherine, "I believe they told me 'Deep Enough to hide the body, but shallow enough to shoot over, so that means to dig most of it out so that it covers an average guardsmen of the Instructors size, and in the front of the trench have some ground steps to help shoot over the trench walls, "He told her, continuing his work.
Garian looked at Katherine, "He is right about that, and as for the retreat, they may be sloping some of the rear and putting up Ladders in other areas, both to funnel and for quick escape." He told her, almost done already.

[thedude9351]

"Yes sir me and you will settle this hand to hand back onSeptember Rain Sir!"Hank managed to get out of his slightly collapsed windpipe.
