[Gravedust]

Stand by for re-evaluation and adjustment, I guess.

[brendur]

((sorry again, I cannot say sorry enough >.<. As a peace offering, funny times))

*on board the Shrike Midge pokes her head out from the pile of papers that have fallen on her from all the jostling of the Iron Shrike.*
Midge: Damn it we've got another ship just sitting down there, why aren't they doing anything?
Six:-Then plan is they wait.-
Midge: Yeah well getting shot wan't part of the plan, time to change the plan!*Radio* Hey! Get that hunk of junk off the ground and help us!
Kieran:*Radio* Erm...Well..
Bosko:*Radio* CA-258 is not junk! It is highly capable assault engine! Who is leetle girl what is squawking like bird?
Midge:*Radio* My name's Midge and I'm not that little!
Bosko:*Radio* In Concordia leetle girls do not give orders! They stay at home and sheer sheep!
Kieran:*Radio* If I might inter...
Midge: *Radio* This isn't Soviet Concordia comrade! *In perfect Concordian* Good thing because they'd cringe at the sight of a man whining about fighting.
Bosko:*Radio* *goes on a cursing tirade that causes Grizzly to blush to her toes*
Kieran:*Radio* That's enough! Shrike we'll be up to assist you shortly.
Midge: Hmph...in Soviet Shrike, girl sheers YOU!.

((Yikes.. Well the calc this time was enormous. >.< Basically everyone shot everything this round, and doing cannons and damage takes a while.. I did finish all the calc, but I'm a bit too zonked to to the writeup just now. Should have it finished by early tomorrow evening.))

[Gravedust]

-Ariel-
Captain West<Intercom>: All right, enough pussyfooting around. We're going in all close and personal-like.
Eli Marsh: ..Ah.. Is that wise?
Captain West: Pfft. When have I ever dealt in wise? It's exciting, though isn't it?
Eli Marsh: Yes, but… But...
Captain West: Oh come on.. what's life without a little risk? boring, that's what. You wouldn't believe the life my family planned out for me… Oh and <intercom> FIRE! FIRE!!!

*Ariel's guns thunder, filling the air around the vessel with smoke and steam vapor. Furie takes the worst of the fusillade, her flank suddenly pockmarked by a half-dozen hellholes. The exposed interior of her aft engine compartment glows red-hot for a brief moment before the engine tears itself apart with a horrible screech that can be heard on both ships. The portholes of Furie's entire mid-deck section are blown out on jets of steam as the stern drops dangerously before the pilot manages to wrestle it back under control.*

Captain West: Yeah, see, that's more like it! <Radio> Come on Daryl, where you you? Get in on this!

-Cordelia-
Captain Whitney:<Radio> Right behind you…

*Cordelia's forward cannon fires, sending two more shots into Furie.*

-Ariel-
Captain West: ...Not bad, not bad.
Lillie Ellisson<Intercom>: The target's closing!
Captain West: Huh. <Intercom> ...Well, everybody duck or something, I guess.

*Furie's cannons ring out and Ariel shudders as a number of shells hit home at close range, shoving the ship violently to the side in an awkward skid.*

Captain West: Bollocks. <Intercom> Oooookay, status report, Everyone still here?
Adela Tyler:<Intercom> Took a hit to the forward engine, boss. Armor held though, no trouble, though I'm not looking forward to another.
Gary Kline<Intercom>: *coughs* We're holed forward. Gun and I are both fine though, mostly.
Captain West: <Intercom> Fair enough. Keep it together we'll be done with this in a minute, looks like. They're hurting bad.

-CA-258-
Captain Rotheschilde: Take us up, Bosko, the quicker the better.
Bosko Sergev: Yes Captain… <Intercom> Jozef, Ozlov!! We go! Spin up!
Lidia Ozipov<intercom>: …Captain, this cannon isn't meant for long range.
Captain Rotheschilde<Intercom>: I know, Just do the best you can.
Lidia Ozipov<Intercom>:Yes, Captain.

-Iron Shrike-
'Captain' Midge<Intercom>: Okay! Go! Tear them up!
Jukka<Intercom>: What range?
'Captain' Midge<Intercom>: Uh… I don't.. Whenever you're ready?
Jukka<Intercom>:*sighs* Make it 9. Five degrees wind deflection, ten altitude deflection. Speed is fifteen. On my mark, I'll count from four. Wait. He's slowing. Fire now! FIRE!

*Iron Shrike fires a ragged but nonetheless effective broadside, scoring hits along Grunwald's flank and smashing open it's bunkroom and rear engine compartments. Seconds later Grunwald replies with a volley in return, rocking the Shrike in midair.*

Midge<Intercom>: Gaack!!
Griz<Intercom>: ...Is everyone all right?
Sun<Intercom> Hit rear cannon! Ok!
Jukka:<Intercom> Rear turret holed. Having some difficulty with the damned turret motors. Shouldn't be too hard for the boy to handle.
Griz<Intercom>: ..Midge? Are you still there?
Midge<Intercom>: Hi! Yes! Sorry! …I fell off my chair.
Six: *Points at a small ship flying up high in the distance.*
Midge: Oh. Uh.. Uh-oh.

-On the ground-

Oliver Kirkland: Tanya! With me! We're gonna flush out that tower!
Tanya Morse: Right with you!
Oliver Kirkland: On three! One, two three!

*Both explosives crash through the windows of the short tower in quick succession, to an accompanying cry of alarm from inside. Moments later two loud bangs sound, as the door and windows are blown out.*

Tanya Morse: Think that got 'em?
Oliver Kirkland: Hard to say…

*Abruptly, sporadic rifle fire erupts from the tower*

Oliver Kirkland: ...I'm thinking no. EVERYONE DOWN!!

*Those out in the open take cover as rifle fire rakes the landing pad, Most of the hurried shots miss, but not quite all*

Rosalind Clements: Augh!
Beth Knox: You all right?
Rosalind Clements: I'm hit… I.. I should be fine but oh god it hurts..
Beth Knox: Hah. First time, huh? Come on, it's not ba- -look out!-

*Beth throws herself on top of the medic, and a quarter-second later is hit by a bullet meant for the doctor.*

Beth Knox: nnnnnnnAAAAAOOOOOW!!!! DAMMIT I'M GONNA SHOVE THAT RIFLE ALL THE WAY UP YOU, YOU HEAR!?!

-A short distance away -

Captain McCullough: Come on, this way!
Jim Reynolds: I'm with you!
Lizard: Me too!
Jim Reynolds: Liz you stay close to me, hear?
Lizard: ..I will. But I'm not a kid, you know that, right?
Captain McCullough: Eyes up. I saw someone behind the veranda thing.. There!

*The Captain pulls his pistol and after aiming just a moment squeezes off a shot. A woman with a sword stumbles out of hiding with a pained cry, holding her side.*

Captain McCullough: There! Get her!
Jim Reynolds: On it!

*The wounded fighter quickly falls back behind the building, pursued by rifle fire .*
Jim Reynolds: One hell of a shot, Captain.
Captain McCullough: I get more practice than I'd like.

Bill Addams: I snuck a peek into the window there. Looks like a kitchen. The windows're barred, though. No way in here unless we go through the wall. I do see a door at the far side of this wall, though.


===============================================
::NOTES::
Just as a note, if you specify an 'all guns fire' order, I'll fire the guns from the bow to stern in order. If you want a particular gun to fire before the others (for purposes of steam management) just list that gun first.

(( Last set of orders I asked Griz to move to D3C3, I meant D3C2))


*on the ground Kail gives a quick look around at the situation and frowns, reaching into his service jacket he comes out with a neat paper package with a fuse protruding out of a corner and tosses it to Bill*

Kail: Our support is occupied! We stay out here with those towers and it'll be a shooting gallery! Make us a door!
Bill: That a good idea? What about the equipment we're fetching?
Kail: They ain't gonna keep shit like that in the kitchen! Make the damn door!
Bill: One door coming up!
Kail: Jim! Lizard! Covering fire with me on that tower, keep their heads down! When the wall blows Bill and the Cordies are gonna lead the charge in, we're their fire support. HOY ROSY! COVER OVER HERE!
Jim: Kneel down, give them less of a target.
Lizard: Makes it harder to move out of the way.
Jim: You can't see where they're aiming, dodging isn't an option.
Lizard: Hell I can barely see them!
Jim: Calm breaths, shoot when you exhale, stop trying to do trick shots and aim for center mass and muzzle flashes.
Lizard: Right...right..
Kail: FIRE!


*Up in the air on the Shrike*

Midge: Oh hell, who is that?!
Six: -Trouble, we need to turn around-
Midge: Good idea! Turn her around!
Six:-Give me full power from the boiler-
Midge:*intercom* Griz! Six wants more steam!
Griz:*Intercom* On it!
Griz: *pulls a series of levers making the boiler of the Shrike hiss and whine, she then wipes a sooty hand across her face and looks at her ship worriedly* C'mon girl, hold together...please?
Sun:*Intercom* What about us? We keep putting holes in ship?
Midge:*Intercom* YES! Many many holes in that ship!
Sun:*Intercom* Bonzai!

[Gravedust]

-Ariel-
Captain West:<Intercom> Ah hell, they're firing ag-
*Furie's side cannon barks twice, the noise incredibly loud at close range. Ariel shudders, her nose pulled down by the force of the impacts.*
Captain West:<Intercom>…Really starting to hate that gun in particular…
Gary Kline:<Intercom> Hit forward.. Christ aloft I can see him through our hull.. Gun's beat to hell but I think she's still with me..
Adela Tyler:<Intercom> Got pranged a bit down here. Still solid though, Caterina builds 'em good.
Captain West:<Intercom> All guns prep to fire, let's put him in his grav- …Who the fuck is that?
Eli Marsh: What?
Cheri R:<intercom> Come again, Captain?
Captain West: <intercom> There is some asshole on my ship. *Points out the forward window to a spot on the deck where a brown-suited Oakes soldier is crouching, steam still rolling from his jetpack vents* We've got a boarder.

-Cordelia-
Captain Whitney<Radio>: Get clear of the target Ariel, we're going to light her up!
*Cordelia's cannons catch Furie in the side and stern, aggravating the already serious damage to the beleaguered ship. In a blinding flash the side-mounted cannon misfires and explodes, shattering the rear of the ship amid billowing clouds of dark smoke. A moment later Ariel's guns add to the devastation.*

-Iron Shrike-
Jukka:<Intercom> Gun's working again.
Roban: Easy.
Midge:<Intercom> Okay, everybody hold on, Six is gonna do that thing…
Stitch: Oh gooddddddd…
Jukka:<Intercom>Think he's thinking the same thing we are... He's flipped around, showing us his less damaged side.
Midge:<Intercom>Well whatever, just shoot him up!

-CA-258-
Lidia<intercom>: Got a hit!
Captain Rotheschilde:<intercom> Nicely done.
Lidia<intercom>: ...But I think it bounce off..
Captain Rotheschilde:<intercom>Eh, no matter, as the range closes we'll get some teeth.

-On the ground-

Bill Addison: …It's got a bit quiet, hasn't it? Where's our air support gone to?
Captain McCullough: …I haven't the foggiest, but I hope they're doing some good. COVER YOUR EARS!!!
*The shaped explosive charge detonates with a loud bang, blowing through the wall of the building and leaving behind a jagged smoking hole, easily wide enough for several people to pass through at once.*
Captain McCullough: Nice when that works.
Bill Addison: Uh-huh.

*Another loud explosion sounds, this one a grenade hurled from the tower, punctuated by some rifle fire.*
Oliver Kirkland: Nngh.. Damn it.
*The huge volume of return fire pushes the attackers back behind their cover, but not before one is fatally wounded.*
Andy Fuller: Ha! Mine!

-Meanwhile, back up in the air-



-Charger-
Captain Minerva Fain:<Radio> Well well well… What do we have here?


===============================================
::NOTES::

Man I've had that picture waiting around forever. >.<

Also, a note on color coding, vis a vis health levels.. Anyone wounded in any regard gets an Orange. Anyone hit badly enough to be taking a wound penalty is red.

On the diagrams I use yellow for wounded, and orange for penalties, but yellow does not play nicely with the white background on the text.

[Gravedust]

-Ariel-
Captain West<intercom>: Okay, I'm officially sick of this. Gunners, put them down, please.

*Ariel's guns thunder in concert, savaging Furie's upper deck and reducing the bunkrooms in the center to a twisted ruin. A number of shots crack open the forward turret, which halts abruptly mid-traverse and does not fire. Furie staggers drunkenly, clearly struggling to stay aloft amidst fires and wrecked machinery. At almost the same moment two explosions rattle Ariel, as the Oakes soldier's sapper bombs detonate in unison, cutting a ragged hole in the deck above the aft bunkroom.*

Captain West: Son of a bitch!

-Furie-
Captain Hahn<Radio>: Black ships, this is Furie... *cough* I'm striking colors, I got nothing left to fight you with. Aiming to set down before she burns out from under me. Guess it's up to you whether you'll let us or not... But if you cease fire and patch your radio to your comm I'll order my man aboard your ship to stand down...

-Iron Shrike-
­Midge<Intercom>: What's that little ship up to? Jeez he's fast...

Shin Kizami<Intercom>: Target closing!

Jukka:<Intercom>: God damn it he's going to cross our bow!

Midge<Intercom>: What? I-

*Shell after shell slams into Shrike's forward compartments, shredding the forward turret armor and igniting a sudden fire. One shell drops lower than it's intented target and instead bores into the forward engine compartment. There is a tortured shriek of metal as the entire engine binds for a moment, and then with a hellish snap and bang one of the tertiary pressure vessels ruptures and the drive shroud disintegrates, shedding huge chunks of metal shrapnel in all directions, riding a enermous pressure wave that bowls down the mechanic working in the pressure room. The engine skips a beat and then doggedly continues running amid the hiss of escaping steam and a pronounced vibration from the exposed and suddenly misaligned main fan drive.*

Midge<Intercom>: Oh my god oh my god!

Shin Kizami:<Intercom>: Nngh.. Fire in cannon!!

Stitch Finnigan:<Intercom>: We're all going to die! I knew it!! We have to get out of here!!

Jukka<Intercom>: He's gone to starboard, traverse and fire if you still can. Fire dammit!! Aim for their engine!

*Shrike's guns thunder, striking Grunwald along it's front. After a brief pause a trail of smoke erupts from the forward engine compartment.*

Jukka<Intercom>: That's right. Chew on it, you bastard.

Griz<Intercom>: We have a serious problem down here. The boiler is burning up, I think the fuel bunkers have caught. It's very severe.

Midge<Intercom>: What!? Oh no, Oh no... Ms. Griz, Get out of there!

Griz<Intercom>: I can't, dear. It's blocking my way out. And someone has to run things down here. Listen-

Roban<Intercom>: Fuel exhausion, steam starvation, fire spread, explosion vectors. ...Could lose ship.

Midge<Intercom>: Oh no, I'm sorry!

Stitch Finnigan:<Intercom>: Look we should just run for it! They're tearing us apart!

Jukka<Intercom>: No. I will not abandon my shipmates and my Captain like a coward.

Six<Intercom>: *Hisses*

Griz<Intercom>: Everyone shut up! Little one, listen to me. Whether you like it or not, and whether you're ready or not, YOU are the Captain here. The Captain's the cord that holds the ship together. It's up to you to keep everyone working together. Without that we aren't a crew, we're just a bunch of folk in a tin can.

Midge<Intercom>: But I don't KNOW anything!!!

Griz<Intercom>: Bullshit, you know us! You've flown with us, you should know us well enough. And bein' Captain isn't all about books and figures. Hell, have you seen West? I'm not sure he's ever read anything. But he is one hell of a Captain because he knows his ship, he knows his crew and he knows the sky. And he doesn't have anything you don't. Look. Captain chose you for a reason, so even if you don't have faith in yourself, have faith in him. He knows you can to this job. Do you want to prove him wrong?

Midge<Intercom>: No...

Griz<Intercom>: Then take command of this crew. Give the orders. We'll follow them. You know what to do, don't let your doubt get in the way. You understand?

Midge<Intercom>: Yes.

Griz<Intercom>: Good. I'm not going to sugar coat this little one. It does not look good, and I might not make it. We might lose some crew, and we might lose the ship. If the worst happens, don't start blaming yourself. Just do the damned best you can. Be the kind of Captain I'd be proud to serve under, and die under if need be.

-CA-258-
Captain Rotheschilde<Intercom>: There he goes! Lidia!
Lidia Ozipov:<Intercom> I can't! Turret not fast enough!

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: Oh my.. Have I come at an awkward time? Incidentally that was ~Very~ sloppy of you Kail, tisk tisk. I thought you were much better than that.

-Cordelia-
Captain Whitney:<Radio>: Oh god. You have -got- to be kidding me.

-Ariel-
Captain West:<Radio>: ...Is that Minerva? Jesus... Look I'm a tad busy here sweetie, but, you know, burn in hell and all that.

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: Ahh.. Sweet as always, aren't you Dallas? ..And Kail? No warm greeting? I'm hurt.

-Iron Shrike-
Midge<Radio>: He's not here. So why don't you go back to whatever flying bordello you fell out of?

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: Hmm. So who the hell are you, then?

-Coyote-
Captain Knauss<Radio>:Unidentified ship, this is Captain Knauss of the Coyote, Oakes Security representative. You have entered controlled airspace. Divert immediately.

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: Minerva Fain, Charger, 13th Legion, well now we're all introduced. I have a bounty to collect. Thanks for softening them up for me.

-Coyote-
Captain Hawkins<Radio>: Incorrect. These will be our kills, and our bounty. You are trespassing over ground protected by a lawful mercenary contract, so you void your claim. Now divert your course.

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: You squirmy little grub-dick! Is that how you want to play it? I've heard a lot of shit about you Oakes bastards, and this about confirms it. The 13th is gonna run your scabby asses into the ground one of these days, mark me.

-Coyote-
Captain Knauss<Radio>: Spare me. There's nothing you can do. If you attack us without a contract you'll be in violation of Tasking Board law. Whereas we can fire on you at will, as you are trespassing.

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: Well that's an excellent point you make... Hey West? Wanna hire me to help take out these sad sacks of crap? I'll make it cheap, say about Five grand? You get a discount because it's something I want to do already and because you're good in the sack. What do you say? Daryl? Whoever's sitting in for Kail? 5k gets me on your side for today, one time offer!

-Coyote-
Captain Knauss<Radio>: What? You can't do that!

-Charger-
Captain Fain<Radio>: Can't I? I dunno, it sounds like I just did...

-On the ground-
*As heavy cannonfire and explosions sound in the distance, Kim Reynolds takes careful aim, steadying his rifle. As he detects a bit of momement near the lip of the fortified tower, he cranks off one, shot, then another. A cry is heard from inside and a muffled thud.*
Jim Reynolds: That about wraps that up.
Lizard: *Whistles*
Kay Hanson: Shit.
Andy Fuller: Yep. Pay up.
Captain McCullough: Nicely done. Bill, Oleg, Alek, Move in!
*The three swordsmen barge through the hole in the wall, and kick open the door at the far side of the kitchen. They are contronted by a large open hall, filled with draperies, carpets and heavy furnishings. A number of Oakes soldiers are stationed inside. They turn and ready their weapons.*
Bill Addison: We have company, gents!

===============================================
::NOTES::

You can totally hire Capt. Fain for this mission. It'll cost 5k and she stays as an NPC, but will attack your targets and probably not double-cross you. You can agree to split the cost however you like too, I guess.

Just a tacit reminder, since I messed up the scale of the ground map, each unit can move TWO squares per action (So a total of 4 for 2 Actions)

And a reminder/explanation of fire behavior:
Fire increases it's severity by 1/10th it's current severity every round. (unless the compartment it is in is destroyed, in which case it decreases by 10 per round.)
Fires damage compartments for 1/10th it's severity. I.e. a Severity 50 fire does 5 compartment damage.
Fires damage characters at 1/10th it's severity. this damage is soakable via toughness. A character that is in a compartment with a fire at the beginning of a round is subject to fire damage.
Fire damage can cause malfunctions.
Fires can spread in one of 4 directions. (up, down, forward or aft) Fire spread is blocked by intact bulkheads, but it it spreads in a direction that is open it will spawn a new fire in that area at 1/2 the intensity of the parent fire. Fire can travel up and down stairwells as though they were open bulkheads.


ALSO: Something I undoubtedly should have mentioned a long time ago: If an enemy character is occupying a square (or compartment) it is not possible to move friendly troops into that square. So basically you can 'block' off a square by having people in it. (Leet swashbucklers have a skill that gets around this)

Captain West: <radio> This is Captain West of the Ariel. Officially standing down. Tell your boy to stop blowing holes in my ship. I'd bring him to you, but I've got other business to attend to first.
West: <intercom> Lillie, you're good at tying people up, right? Since I see your gun's out of ammo, whyn't you grab a rope and escort our visitor to the bunkroom and tie him to something. And, you know, if you aim to do something more -- ah -- intimate while he's tied up, I ain't got nothin' against it 'cept that you do it in the forward bunkroom -- I don't want no sounds wafting up here distracting me an' Eli from our work.
West: Do, not give me that look, Eli.
Eli Marsh: Not saying anything, sir.
West: Don't sir me, neither.
West; <radio> Minerva, seeing as how the Shrike seems to be feeling some hurt, I'm going to take you up on that offer on one condition: never mention that night -- er, weekend -- er, week...and a half -- in Victoria ever again. Attention Oakes Security drones: I am hereby hiring Minerva Fain of the 13th Legion to act on my behalf. There, I said it, now get to shootin'.
Captain Whitney: <radio>Uh, do I get a say in this?
West: <radio>No.
Whitney: <radio>Ah. Well then, I hope you know what you're doing.
West: <radio>We can mop up Minerva when we're all done here. Right now, I got more important things to worry about, and if this keeps her from shooting any more holes in Kail's ship, so much the better.
West: <intercom>Adela, see if you can't patch up that forward turret a bit. I don't want a stray cannonshot taking out poor Gary.
Gary Kline: <intercom>Aww, shucks Captain, I didn't know you cared. I'm wiping a tear, here.
West: <intercom>Can the sarcasm, Kline, or I might rescind my order.

-Iron Shrike-

*As red warning lights blitz all over the Shrikes operation panel, Midge stares on at them befuddled, the glowing panic on the panel reflecting on her own face. Suddenly an apple core strikes her in the head.*

Six: -We are WAITING-
Midge: Oh...

*Quick as a wink Midge darts over and starts yanking off Six's prized naval frock coat*

Midge: GIMME! I need it!

*Six surprisingly enough relinquishes the coat, Midge dashes for the ladder pausing only to shout into the intercom*

Midge: *intercom* Roban! Griz! We're headed for that fire! Putting it out takes priority! Stitch! Get in there with Shin and the two of you see what you can do about the fire in there.

Six:-What about me?-
Midge: Head for the Cordelia and Ariel!

*Sliding down the ladder with an agility born on the streets of Concordia she bursts through the door to the Bunkroom, which Stitch is staring at her like she's lost her mind*

Stitch: Damn it, I am doctor, not firefighter!

*Midge spares little time, kicking him in the shin and yelling at him shrilly, driving him back towards the door with lashings from Six's coat*

Midge: Get in that damn compartment or I swear by all that's holy I'll gut you and use the blood to hose down the deck! I am not DYING on some ship next to some old shriveled pedophile, and I'm not gonna let Grizzly die cause I'm busy yelling at you! GO GO GO!

*As Stitch retreats into the compartment, Midge flings the naval coat over the now red hot hatch wheel to the lower compartment. Grunting she flings herself into turning it, the wheel singeing her hands even through the wool coat, however after a few moments of exertion the hatch pops open. Shielding her face from the blazing inferno inside Midge calls in.*

Midge: GRIZ! We're comin for ya!

-On the ground-

Bill: Hah! C'mon boys! I'll show you how the Irregulars do it!
Lizard: How do the Irregulars do it?
Kail: Quickly, quietly, oft from behind with whatever's handy.
Lizard: ...really? I've never heard any of the girls at port complain...
Kail: Are we talking about the same thing?
Jim: I sure as hell hope not.

[Gravedust]

((Oh shit. I was going to mention this but then I didn't because I totally forgot. The ability to repair bulkheads is an Elite engineer skill. So Jazz if you wanna adjerst your last move you can. Actually what I think I'll do is change her Action to an engine Overcharge since that's what the other engie is doing. Lemme know if you want somethgin different.))

[Gravedust]

((Whoops. Also I made a mistake, the intensity of the fuel fire should be 80 and not 100. Of course it'll be 88 anyway after it updated, but WHATEVAR. Every little bit can help..))

[Gravedust]

-Ariel-
*The boarder slips down through the hole blasted in the deck, landing in the forward bunkroom with a soft rattle of equipment.*

Captain West: Ah hell, there he goes... <Radio> Hey Furie, your boy just went below decks. I'll patch you into the Intercom so you can talk to him. Bear in mind I'll take it poorly if he starts breaking my things or shooting my crew, so talk fast.

Captain Ramiro Hahn:<Radio Via Intercom> Woodward, if you can hear this, stand down. The Furie's got no fight left and we're tying to land her. Don't start any trouble or they'll lay cannons into us. Understand?

August Woodward: ...Dammit.

Lillie Ellisson:*Emerging warily from the aft cannon compartment, gun in hand.* Well. I guess you heard that. What's it going to be?

August Woodward: *sighs, then pops the magazine out of his rifle and cycles the chambered round out onto the floor.* ...Bloody waste of my time. You mind if I sit here'n have a smoke, or you want to do this official like?

Lillie Ellisson: Don't think I won't keep this gun on you, but I'm willing to be civil if you are.

August Woodward: Cheers then. Thanks. *He settles himself on somebody's gear trunk and leans back with a sigh.*


-Cordelia-
Terrence Hopper:<Intercom> ...I've got an eye on that Sylph.. I think it's heading into the compound.
Captain Whitney:<Intercom> That's bad new for the ground crew.... Do what you can to stop it.
Terrence Hopper:<Intercom> Will do.
Jake Glenn:<Intercom> ...There's no way you can hit that.
Terrence Hopper:<Intercom>I can make him think twice, at least..
Rosalie Pratt:<Intercom> ...Hit what now?
Jake Glenn:<Intercom> That sylph. It's like a mile away.
Rosalie Pratt:<Intercom> God damn it, why do I always have to be in the back? I can never see anything good.
Terrence Hopper:<Intercom>Firing... ...And that's a hit.
Jake Glenn:<Intercom> You're kidding me!

*Coyote (with a decently-sized dent in it's forward armor) Begins it's descent towards the compound*

-Cordelia-
Captain Whitney<Radio>Ms. Fain, see what you can do to stop that Sylph, we have people on the ground in that complex.

-Charger-
Captain Fain: <Radio> Aaahhh.. Well that makes some sense.. Not a lot, but some... Eh I'll see what I can do...

*Charger streaks headlong across the sky, and cracks off two shots against the Sylph as it's just over the compound walls*[/color]

-Charger-
Captain Fain: <Radio> Bah.. Pranged him a bit but no serious damage.. Just wait till the next pass though, We'll nail him good. In the meantime I hope your guys on the ground brought plentya ammo....

-Iron Shrike-
Griz:<Intercom> I'm not making much of a dent on this fire! It's definitely in the fuel bunkers, burning it up fast! I'm trying to get the vents close to choke it off!

Midge:<Intercom> Hang on! I've got help coming!

Stitch: I can't go down there! That's an inhalation hazard and Hey! HEY!!

Midge: Git! I'll be down in a second!

Shin Kizami: <Intercom> Fire in gun is out!

Midge: Well that's some good news at least...

*There is a loud bang as a shell strike the Shrike's rear armor, followed by a pronounced rumble as Shrike's cannons open up, firing after Grunwald in response.*

Sun Kizami:<Intercom> Broadside gun dry! Securing!

Midge: And some not as good news. <intercom> Shin, is you gun still working?

Shin Kizami: <Intercom> Very hot and not so good shape but should work fine!

Midge: Thank god. <Intercom> Try to keep it that way!

Shin Kizami: <Intercom>... What? Hot?

Midge: <Intercom>: No! Working!

Griz<Intercom>: Damn it.. The fire's just spread to the pressure room!

Midge: ...And that's not good either...


-On the ground-
*The scene in the interior of the compound is a jumble of shouting and gunfire and confusion as both crews make their way into the building*

Adam Bowyer: Hey y'all, I think if found somethin' worth somethin!'

Beth Knox: That's great, but we're just a little busy here at the moment...

Oliver Kirkland: Any-.. *coughs* Nnh.. Anyone hear something? ...Outside?

Lizard: I'll take a loo- Ohhh SHIT!!

Jim Reynolds: Watch language.. Now what is it- OH SHIT!!

Jim Reynolds: CAPTAIN!! We have company! A ship just landed some rifles and swords out on the pad!

Captain McCullough: How many?

Jim Reynolds: ..Looks about seven in all. If that ship sticks around though, we'll be in real trouble. It's got a cannon if I'm reading the class right.

Captain McCullough: ...Wonderful..

Okay, how does this sound:

2 rounds a week.

The first expires on Monday at 5pm

The 2nd expires on Thursday at 5pm
(Or Friday if that happens to work better, but Thurs is a better day for me)

We really do need to find a way to do 2 rounds a week though, at the current rate this is going to take 'too goddamn long' in clinical terms.

We've been on this one mission since late January.

[jazzs3quence]

((I'm in Idaho visiting Erin's grandparents. I'm currently using her dad's laptop because I have work stuff that I probably need to do while we're up here. If I have a chance to get my move in this round I will, otherwise, we should be back late Monday night-ish, so I could get it in byTuesday.))

[Gravedust]

((Mmmkay, thanks for the heads-up. ))

[brendur]

(( the thursday thing is fine. Unfortunately my mother's condition just took a turn for the worst, I don't thing I'll be posting anymore this or next week.))

[Gravedust]

((That's fine, though I'm sorry things aren't going well. : / Just let us know when you're available again.))

[brendur]

((I'm finally back, sorry again to take such a long break. Let's get to the blowing stuff up yes?))
