Title: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 23, 2017, 05:23:03 pm
Black Hand has become an increasing menace to everyone. Yet none of us have managed to deal significant blows to the organization on our own. A cell here and there sure, but nothing large enough to actually hurt them. So we've agreed to pool our resources and information in order to deal with the threat.

Our first target is a low level leader, his cell is maybe twenty in numbers and currently believed to be on a trade station located in Mortalis space. He's a Terran, believed to be from the Black Hands anti-alien origins though most of his cell are non-terrans. Age is 35, name is Michael Stannov, criminal history before joining the organization was mostly targeted attacks on non-terrans and petty theft, spent four years in the Terran military. We know he has information that will allow us to hit more important targets who in turn may lead us to the head of the organization.

You've been selected to conduct this operation due to your differing backgrounds and capabilities. If you fail this operation and Stannov gets away or is killed we'll have to find another target which will take time, so bring Stannov in alive so we can interrogate him. Also you will be expected to work with members of the differing races, discrimination will not be tolerated by anyone in this operation. We are doing this to stop a threat to all of us, put your personal feelings aside and commit to the operation.

Not moved yet, but approved - I'd join with this guy (http://utterlymad.smfnew2.com/pending-approvals/kiran-(pc)/). There's probably a few different ways he might have been brought on board or decided to get involved.

The shuttle docked on the Norenfal station the operation was being based out of. According to what you'd been told on the flight here this was a military station used primarily for resupplying ships. Whatever the purpose the plain white hallway waiting for you contained two armed Norenfal and two Terran soldiers. "You'll follow us, any deviation from our course will not be tolerated." One of the Norenfal stated before turning to walk down the hallway.

The doors on the other side opened as you approached and revealed a large open area where personnel from the various militarys were lounging about and playing cards together. The soldiers you were following continued into another hallway which brought you to an elevator. The elevator led you to another hallway where a few people were waiting.

The soldiers who had escorted you here stopped and one of the Terrans said "Command will brief you inside."

As you started down the hallway those who had been waiting walked through the doorway. Inside was a holographic display module that was showing the layout of the trade station. Representatives from the differing militarys involved were waiting.

"Please be seated and we will start the briefing."

Kiran's first thought as he entered the corridor was that the connections who'd got him thrown in with Operation Legion  hadn't done their research very well - the Norenfal troops assigned to escort him to the briefing hadn't made much more of an effort to hide their distaste for the presence of a Rastal than he had on seeing them. I wonder what the group figures we can accomplish here for the greater good that is so wonderful as to be worth associating with their kind.

His second thought was that he wished he'd left the massive P-48/66 back on his shuttle with his armour and the rest of his weapons. He'd strapped it to his hip as something of a reflex, being accustomed to dragging the impractical handgun around to official functions in his DSB days, but as it banged off the side of his leg with every step, he couldn't help but curse this pointless adherence to tradition. Passing through what appeared to be a barracks only reinforced this thought - though he wasn't overly impressed with their apparent state of readiness, the gathering of troops here was large enough that even the most suicidal of Black Hand attacks on the conference would have only slim chances of succeeding.

After a elevator trip, he and the escorts emerged out of what he assumed must be their final destination. One of the humans indicated that this was the place, and Kiran felt a release of tension as they and the Norenfal left him.

He slips into the room with the rest of the people waiting in the hallway, noting he is one of the few present who isn't wearing some form of uniform, and for a moment debates giving some form of salute as he enters the briefing room. Instead, he seats himself at the table with a small nod to those next to him, and awaits the start of the meeting.

A Norenfal wearing a deep red uniform stepped forward and  began speaking, with translators doing their jobs so everyone present could understand. "Hello, I am Vo-ren commander of this operation. You were given a brief summary of your target and we cannot provide any additional background information. Someone inside the Terran military scrubbed his record and removed him from as many public records as possible. What we know now is through intelligence channels that we cannot divulge at the moment."

Making a motion towards a console in the middle of the room and a hologram jumped to life displaying a Mortalis wearing a leather jacket, jeans, and hiking boots. "This is 'Mouse'. He provides fake identification that can fool a thorough background check as well as discrete transportation off of whatever planet or station he operates on. He has provided fake identification for our target and will know his location. The issue with finding him is that he went dark four days ago after an encounter with station security."

Motioning again the hologram changed to display the guarded entrance to a warehouse and he continued "We know this is where he operates his business. It's heavily guarded by hired thugs, out of service soldiers, anyone looking for a paycheck. Find a way in, be it blowing the front door in or infiltration it's your call. The only issue is we know that he still comes to the warehouse but we've been unable to ascertain the specifics of when and how since he's not seen traveling the streets anymore."

Looking over the group gathered he looked at the datapad in his hand before continuing "Okay, the team for this mission is Jonah, Kiran, our resident Norenfal medic Vo-tec, and the Mortalis demolitions expert Donovan, and the Mortalis Special Operations member Harris. Harris will be leading the operation so long as we determine his command capability is acceptable. Statements or questions?"

Jonah grunted and shifted uncomfortably in his seat as he heard that a Xeno would be leading this operation. He was already uncomfortable enough being a minority in this room but now he had to listen to one of those shifty, mask wearing Xenos. The only reason he even considered this plan was that he needed leads to the Black Hand terrorists and that he can no longer rely on his old contacts due to his new assignment.

"Fine. Let's just get this over with and deal with these dissidents and traitors."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 25, 2017, 05:07:26 am
Typical. Our Norenfal "commander" can't even bother to address his mixed taskforce in something we all speak. Kiran considers posing his questions in his own language as well, but puts the thought out of his mind - obviously petty.

"Two questions." he says, addressing the room in basic, "Is it wise to send us into a location where we will likely engage in combat, when we have no idea who our informant is, and might mistake him for a target?" He pauses for a fraction of a second, allowing the translator to catch up for those few, who, for whatever reason, don't speak the most common language in the galaxy. "Secondly, if you want these men alive, will you be providing some equipment to us with which to accomplish this? Perhaps some gas from our Mortalis comrades?" He motions at the others in the room. "I cannot speak for these, but I have nothing but deadly weapons in my current possession."

He debates also bringing up his discomfort with one of the most important members of the team being, essentially, a mortal enemy to him and his people, but holds his tongue. The Mortalis usually aren't bad sorts individually, and if the team lead is even remotely competent, things should go alright.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 25, 2017, 01:19:35 pm
((Didn't we say that galactic basic was a thing but not super wide spread? Or am I just imagining things...))

The Norenfal listened to the translator as he relayed what Kiran had said. The translators then proceeded to relay his response "I apologize for the necessity of translators but I was raised by a family that viewed the need for galactic basic as a non-issue. As such my training and schooling was entirely focused towards what would be my job. As far as non-lethal weapons those will be provided, and the station security will provide you with any image they have of Mouse. They refused to relay said images to us despite orders from the Mortalis government. This leads us to believe, though we could not confirm it, that Mouse has friends within the station security force. We were going to have Harris brief you on any additional details he thought you would need to know while you are being transported to the station. Any additional statements or questions?"

Donovan leaned forward in his seat as he played with his combat knife and said in basic"Statement? I got a statement. Anyone fucks up this operation and the Black Hand get away I will personally gut them. I lost too many friends and relatives to these bastards to let this chance slip by."

Harris motioned towards Donovan and said "Calm down. We all need to work together to get this done and I want no fighting in the group. If you can't be civil I will personally see you off the team."

((Italics is internal thoughts, not spoken aloud, though I can just not use them if you prefer.

And I thought it was sort of the latin equivalent - not everyone in the Roman empire spoke Latin, but it's safe to assume anyone important did. Really, OOC, it exists more so that PCs can talk to eachother without translators.

Could just say the Norenfal are outside of the linguistic area that the ancient empire covered or whatever, or that this particular guy just doesn't know it. Or, we could just say that because most Rastal know at least a little basic, and important Rastal are fluent, that Kiran assumes this is normal for all races, even though it isn't. Doesn't really matter much.))

It seems like we should really be starting our hunt with the traitors. Mouse may be useful to this operation, but sedition is a dangerous thing when 'friends' stop co-operating. Kiran muses to himself. He makes a mental note to have his own contacts check into Mouse when he gets a moment alone, and see if he presents any threat to his other interests.

Though he is always keen on getting as much information as possible, after the outburst of the apparently rather explosive demolitions expert, he gets the idea more questions would not be too conductive, and simply nods his head instead.

I need to keep an eye on that one.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 25, 2017, 02:34:35 pm
((I figured italics were internal thought, the Norenfal official mentioning he didn't understand basic was because it was being used, and whilst not being able to understand it he knew what language was being used.))

You were dismissed and sent to the ship that would take you to the station. The trip wasn't very long but boring none the less.

As you departed the station security force motioned for you to follow them for the standard weapons check. Harris shook his head and spoke in Mortalics "Here on official business. No security check." As he said this he showed the men a document.

After examining it they waved you through and Harris guided you to an open park like area that was seeing little traffic at the moment. Turning to all of you he said "I'm going to go speak with the head of security, Jonah and Donovan will be accompanying me. Kiran, take Vo-tec and see what you can find out from the locals."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 26, 2017, 09:57:50 pm
Great. Kiran can't help but be less than pleased at the team assignments, but doesn't protest - it's a fairly logical division. At least the Norenfal are usually intelligent. "Right, then. We'll be in touch when we have some info, and meet back here."

He consults a map he'd uploaded to a small PDA, and begins walking casually towards the center of the station, blending with the sparse crowd moving around him. He takes a deep breath of the slightly stale air - his last several operations were somewhat more combat oriented, and it feels good to be able to walk around unencumbered by heavy armour and weapons. If it wasn't for the Norenfal medic following him around, and the large knife tucked tightly under his jacket, he'd actually feel pretty at ease. Of course, I might regret not bringing some proper equipment if trouble starts, even if it makes us stick out a bit.

He pushes the thought out of his mind, and slows up just enough for the medic to walk beside him. "Not too impressed with the level of intel on this one. I have a lead over in the residential district, but I'm not so sure they'd give you much of a welcome or appreciate your presence. Any other suggestions before we visit my 'friends'?" he asks, in passable but rusty Norenfal. Betting this one doesn't know basic either. Oh well, a little practice never hurt.

"Let's just get this over with." Jonah said with a displeased look on his face. Believing in prudence, Jonah kept his UTAF MKI armor on while escorting this Harris. The S.I.R. was strung over his shoulder while his left hand never left the top of his pistol.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 26, 2017, 11:09:37 pm
Kiran
To your surprise Vo-tec begins speaking in basic "I know someone who lives here, we'll go meet with him after we visit your contact. Might know some things."

As you walk through the station the smell of food and spices drifting from the stores. Soon you reach the residential area and two Mortalis dressed in leather jackets with '13' patches on the right shoulders watch you enter. Vo-tec tossed a couple of 20 Francen coins at the two and they went back to where they had been sitting. Vo-tec explained as the two of you walked down the large hallway "Local gang, mostly harmless but I don't want the attention on us, would make meeting contacts difficult if they want to meet discretely."

Soon you reach the area your contact is supposed to be and notice that it's a makeshift restaurant. Stepping inside all eyes immediately turn to the two of you. A single Mortalis walks up and motions for the two of you to follow before leading you to a back room. A Rastal looked the two of you over before speaking in basic "Brought a friend? Not that I particularly care since I expect the two of you will keep this meeting private."

Motioning for the two of you to sit the Rastal continued "You're looking for Mouse? I can't setup anything but I know one of his boys lives two decks up in room 206, problem is this guy has his own guards and you can't just walk in without contacting him."



Jonah
Harris leads you through the hallways and past several security checkpoints to reach the main security office. "Zachary! My old friend how are you doing?"

Zachary turned around in his chair and looked at Harris "Wasn't expecting you here. What do you need?"

Harris walked over to Zachary and said "You didn't respond to official requests for information-" Harris leaned down so he was looking Zachary dead in the eye "-and that's not acceptable. You know I trained with the Special Operations, then did a short stint in the Borren Core. So I'm going to give you one chance before I let the big guy with the bigger knife over there gut you like a damn pig. And trust me that won't kill you."
((1d20=19, intimidation roll success))

Zachary raised his hands slowly as he said "Look I would have sent you the information but someone wants this guy to remain active. I got a message saying they'd kill my family. What was I supposed to do?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 26, 2017, 11:19:42 pm
Kiran casts a glance over at the Norenfal. Should have told him to keep watch on the street.

"Apologies," he says in a less common Rastali dialect, keeping his tone light as though he's greeting an old friend. "This little coalition seems to be pretty big on the buddy system. I appreciate the understanding, but I don't think it's safe to place much trust in the coalition or it's agents, given their mandate and the nature of our other operations." He pauses, casually glancing at the Norenfal and attempting to gauge whether or not he understands the language before continuing the conversation.

Kiran
The Norenfal doesn't seem to show much sign of understanding what your saying. Your pulled out a cigarette and said "I don't mind the company, my job here is almost done and then I'll be off to someplace else. What do you need to know?"

Jonah
Harris shook his head and said "Maybe do what you were ordered to do. Either way you tell me what you know."

Zachary sighed and said "Okay, I'm not someone he knows personally but I know one of the officers that fraternizes with Mouse. His name is Michael and he's currently patrolling part of the market district. Assuming you don't want him to be suspicious you'd be better off going down there rather than have me call him up here."

Harris nodded and said "Okay. In the mean time-" Harris motioned to one of the other officers in the room and continued "-arrest him and make sure he can't contact anyone."

((you can, give me a bit to introduce you))
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 29, 2017, 02:13:16 pm
Kiran shakes his head slightly, and switches back to Basic, allowing the Norenfal to understand part of his questioning. "What type of manpower are we talking around 206? How's security in the area, cameras and the like?" He pauses for a moment. "You been to the warehouse where meets usually happen and have an estimate as to how hard it is getting in there relative to 206?"

After those questions are answered, he swtiches back to Rastali, as if giving some form of traditional goodbye. "How's our manpower here? Our mutual friend say recruiting was underway. Could you spare some muscle to help us get access to these places if we need it?"

((Dunno if that helps get NoCam in, but there you go.))
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 29, 2017, 11:01:17 pm
((So if you haven't figured it out we're doing at minimum one update a day, more if people post and I have time))
Kiran
"Four men outside the room in the hallway. My bet is they're armed with R-50's under those trench coats. Inside I don't know much but traffic would indicate there's another five or so guards inside and my guess is that they will be more heavily armed and armored. Cameras in the hallway, maybe some security measures but if there are I haven't seen them."

Taking a drink from his glass the contact continued "The warehouse is heavily guarded. Men inside and outside all obviously armed and inside they have a sniper post set up on the far end. There's about twenty men inside, six or so outside. Going through the front door would be a bitch. You want something easier I'd go through the vents leading inside, problem is fitting in the damn things. Outside of that you could maybe make it look like you were there to offload cargo since every now and then they have trucks move things in and out to make it look like the place is in use."

Motioning to the rest of the room at your last question and said "Manpower ain't much here. That said tell the big Venator fellow I told him to help you out. You'll recognize who I'm talking about."
((There's Mrno's character's intro, you'll see him as you exit the restaurant))
Jonah
Harris led the way out of the room and through the hallways. Soon you walked out into the Market District. Walking over to one of the security members posted near the entrance Harris asked "Where's Michael?"

The officer motioned towards a patrol not far away and went back to watching the crowds. Motioning for you to follow Harris walked over to the patrol and said "So which one of you is Michael?"

Looking between the three of you the patrol members shook their heads "Michael? You...uh you sure you're looking for him?"

As Harris started to respond one of them turned and bolted away, pushing his way through the crowds.

"What, you think you're getting away?! As fucking if..." Jonah said as he pushes through the other patrol officers and straight toward the man trying to escape, pushing through anyone who'd get in his way.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 30, 2017, 02:39:27 am
Kiran nods again. "Right. Thanks for the info, if you ever need a favour from our Coalition friends, I'll be sure to mention how valuable this talk was." he says, rising from his seat. Turning to leave, he adds "Truth alone", part of a traditional Rastal saying often used by various liberation groups as a greeting and goodbye.

Near the door, he spots the massive Venator assigned to the mission - it isn't hard. Might be handy in a fight, but I don't know what we'll do with this one while we're collecting information. Though venspeak is one of the few languages he has virtually no skill in, he does understand rudimentary vensign, it being a truly martial language that is common in simple forms in many elite military units. Getting the Venator's attention, he motions to himself and to the Rastal still sitting in the booth. You with us. Important work, good fight. Kiran has no idea how much of that gets through to the dangerous looking humanoid, but hopes he's kept it simple enough that his poor fluency doesn't get in the way of the message too much.

"Got us a friend." he explains, turning to the slightly confused Norenfal who did not appear to understand the latter part of the contact's answers. "Let's go see your contact, maybe find out if he knows an easier way to get into 206 or anywhere else we should look. Then we should find a schematic of the vents and meet up with the others. Hopefully they've figured out how deep the corruption in the security teams here goes and have remedied it. I think I have a way to get us into that warehouse without having to do much shooting."

Post by: guest48 on January 30, 2017, 04:19:58 am
Half-Groat grunts at the tiny Rastal butchering Vensign at him.   "Small bring fight?   Good." He growls in Basic, it being the only other language he has any grasp of.   His ears twitch as he attempts to figure out what Kiran is saying to the weak one, before giving up and grumbling obscenities in Venspeak.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 30, 2017, 03:08:23 pm
Jonah
You give chase to the Mortalis, shoving your way through the crowd after him. (d20=9) The crowd heavily impedes your progress but you manage to keep sight of him as he runs. You see him slip through a doorway into a set of restricted hallways. Giving pursuit you run into the hallway and see a group of six security officers look at the retreating culprit and then turn to see you (d20=6) and pull their weapons out. "Halt! You are under arrest for trespassing!" One of them shouts.

The others spread out, taking cover behind some of the crates in the hallway.

Kiran and Groat
Vo-tec nods and starts down the hallways. The two of you follow as he leads you towards a much seedier looking part of the station where you notice an increase of locals who appear to be in one of the gangs on the stations. Reaching what looked like an old apartment that several people were guarding. Vo-tec reached into his pocket and tossed a peculiar coin to one of the guards and said "These two are with me. Now let me in before I decide telling Zal that you kept an old friend waiting."

The guard looked down at the coin for a second before tossing it back to Vo-tec and stepping aside. Vo-tec looked at the two of you and said "Zal is an old friend. Ran together as teenagers, did things less than legal. I got caught, put in the army and trained to take care of wounded. Training thanks to familial connections."

Walking in you can tell the place isn't being used to sell candy and rainbows. The men inside are all wearing masks to conceal their faces. The walls are lined with guns, swords, and other weapons. One of the Mortalis in the room looked at the three of you before standing "Vo, long time no see. I see military life did you well."

Looking at the two of you Zal continued "I can see you're not here to catch up though. What do you need?"

"Information on man called Mouse. His warehouse and possible ways to enter."

Zal(d20=18) leaned back and shook his head "Mouse? That bastard? I know about him, screwed me over on a shipment of guns a while back. His warehouse has three entrances, the big doors for trucks to enter, the secret entrance of his that I can't find, and the side door through the restricted hallways. I don't know how to get you the clearance codes for those though."

While the Norenfal and his friends talk, Kiran inspects some of the weapons, looking for anything unique while still keeping an ear on the conversation. He might have some questions in a moment, but for now Vo-tec seems to have it covered.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 30, 2017, 03:46:03 pm
Jonah
Pushing past the guards Jonah rushes after Michael. The guards turn but don't shoot as Harris rushed into the room and started pulling out papers as Donovan rushed after you. Turning a corner you see Michael (d20=1) rush through another doorway.

Jonah heard shouts "Seccer!" "Fuckin' hell you said this place was secure!" and others before a series of gunshots. Michael stumbled back as several shots hit him in the chest and stomach before one drove straight through one his mask's eyepieces and his body fell backwards as a handful of additional shots hit the body before one of the people in the room walked out with a pistol.

Turning to see Jonah he rushed back into the room and closed the door where more yelling could be heard before additional shots rang out inside.

Kiran
The weapons seem to be primarily Mortalis with a few Rastal weapons here and there. Some of the weapons are heavily customized but nothing overtly unique save an old Morten Revolver with gold engraving and a custom cylinder.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 30, 2017, 03:56:29 pm
Kiran runs his eyes over the ornate pistol a couple times. Nice piece. As the Norenfal and his associate finish speaking, Kiran adds in a few queries.

"Sounds like you don't owe Mouse much, and looks like you're pretty well stocked here. Feel like working out a deal that will get you whatever he has in that warehouse in exchange for some co-operation and equipment?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on January 30, 2017, 04:04:09 pm
Half-Groat seems deep in thought as he tries to follow what the Rastal is saying.   Making out about half of the words, he pieces together that they're trying to get more things to kill people better.   Groat decides that violence might not be applicable here.

Seeing his target fall to gangster fire stopped Jonah in his tracks for a spilt second before he considered his options. Not being one for waiting or retreat, he decided he would unsling his SIR rifle and approach the door carefully. He would then open the door slowly while hugging the wall and fire a few blast of laser from cover. He would then throw in an over-heated las-pistol as a makeshift grenade.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on January 30, 2017, 04:31:48 pm
Jonah
Your first two shots connect with two of the gangsters. As they hit the ground you toss in the over charged laser pistol. You overestimate the throw and it clinks off the ceiling not very far into the room. Not having the time to run it explodes and decimates the room...along with some structural supports. The ground creaks beneath you as you start to run.

Unfortunately you slip and smash your head into the ground before said ground buckles and falls into the level below. Jonah falls with it into the level below and hits the ground back first as debris fall all around him, with several metal bars nearly impaling him. Looking up Jonah spots a metal crate come falling down just in time to reach up and send it flying to the side. (Damage take: 12)

Above Donovan yells down "What in the fuck type of grenade did you throw in there? And where can I get me one of them?"


Kiran and Groat

Looking over at Kiran Zal asks "Depends, I'll help you out with equipment, hell I'll send some help along too. I get Mouse when you're done though."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 30, 2017, 04:46:02 pm
"I can't make that promise, but I can get him into a position to be easily accessible once we're through with him. I can also give you any information we dig up on his associates in the population and security forces on the station. Whatever you do with that is up to you."

Kiran pulls a pad from his pocket, and makes a quick list on it. "This is what we'll need, mostly from the station's medical stores. I trust that shouldn't be a problem." The list consists of several very powerful gaseous opiates, as well as several thermite breaching charges. "Throw in that attractive pistol you have there, and I'll set you up with a little heavy weaponry from my own stocks."

He passes the paper over, and continues. "I'll be in touch shortly as to when and where we'll need your men. Should be pretty low risk for such a well armed bunch."

The room shudders slightly for reasons unknown, but Kiran pays no attention to it. "Finally, do you have any people in security that could set us up with some access codes and schematics, maybe arrange a lockdown of the dock area for a few hours? I don't have much faith in the 'honest' men on the force and could use some help that won't tip this bastard off."

"I threw a pistol at them. It's normal." Jonah said wearily as he slowly got to his feet. He put his helmet on and lowered the visor as he begun to look for a way to climb himself up.

Kiran and Groat

Zal looked the list over as he pulled the revolver off the wall and handed it to Kiran "I don't know if I can get you the opiates but the charges are easy. As for friends I got some, but locking the dock down will just worry Mouse but I can get you some access codes-" One of his men whispers into his ear and he shakes his head "-and someone just blew something up where I had a deal going down. Well, that's interesting but for right now we'll see what we can get you. Enjoy the gun."

Jonah
Donovan tossed a rope down as the group of security officers rushed up behind him and Harris shouted "WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DID YOU FUCKING DO?"

Groat has a look at the gun as it's passed between the weakling and the small one.   He shakes his head.   "No good.   Too..."  He pauses, searching for the word.   "...Fancy."    He swears in Venspeak once more, and looks concerned for a minute.  "Does it shoot good?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 30, 2017, 07:03:26 pm
Too fancy, but small and made good. Good for sneak. Kiran signs. He turns the revolver over in his hands before tucking it into his waistband next to the knife. "The opiates could be somewhat important. Let me know what sort of obstacles you encounter and we'll see what can be done. I'm not too worried about Mouse getting suspicious. By the time we'd need things locked down, if he's not already in custody he'll have plenty of other reasons to be concerned and I would rather he not be able to get off the station. We'll be in touch with the details shortly, and I'll pass you a manifest of what I've got on my shuttle for your perusal."

He casts a look over at Vo-tec. "If you've got nothing else in mind, I think we're pretty much set to get back in touch with the others and come up with some plans."

"Sure that's what happened. Get your damn ass up here!" Turning to the security officers and tries to explain things but it's obvious to Jonah when he gets up they aren't believing it as they walk off. "perfect...JUST FUCKING PERFECT YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Harris shouted before taking a breath "Okay, no more blowing holes in the space station. In the mean time let's go meet up with the others."

Kiran and Groat
"Sure sure, I'll let you know about any problems we have." Zal said as you left the room with Vo-tec.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 30, 2017, 07:22:34 pm
Kiran pulls out his tablet again, and fires off a quick message to Harris. We're set here. Got good info. Meet back at the shuttle when you're done to grab gear and figure out actions?

With that, he moves towards the docking section.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion

All of you meet up outside the shuttle. Donovan reaches in and grabs a few grenades of differing types before picking up his LMG and checking the magazine while Harris turned to Kiran and the two with him "So you picked up a friend. Guy we were chasing got himself killed and then Jonah blew up part of the station. Did you find anything out or are we screwed?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 30, 2017, 08:57:37 pm
"I think we're set." Kiran replies, strapping on his armour and doing an equipment check. He's decided on three gas grenades, two flashbangs, and the ubiquitous R-50 PDW along with some spare mags, in addition to his new pistol. The gear isn't the lightest, but then again, he doesn't expect to do much running.

"Got some good information. Mouse is cautious, and it's unlikely we'll snag him at your warehouse location. There should be someone there who knows where he is, but it's not just a matter of busting in and grabbing him. We also have the location of another person who can lead us to him up in 206 on the residential decks, as well as some supplies coming that might help us out and some further manpower, since it seems like these guys have the numbers advantage." He makes some minor adjustments to his armour.

"The way I see it, we have a couple of options here.

A) We can focus everything we've got on the warehouse. There's a backdoor into it through a restricted corridor, and we've got some access codes here. I'd like to test them first, but I don't know if that's an option. If they haven't taken measures to seal it, we can get in through there. There's some accessable vents that we can use to pour some gas into it, and ideally knock everyone out. The gas isn't a sure thing, but I don't think it should be that hard to score, and we can pop in from the sides with some breaching charges as well. Then it's just a matter of cleanup and making sure we don't eliminate our lead." He pauses for a moment and a skeptical look crosses his face. "Which isn't maybe that promising judging by how you made out. Of course, we're hedging our bets on this lieutenant actually being at the warehouse when we hit it.

B) We can do the same thing, but up on 206. This might be a little louder, but we might actually have the numbers advantage there and it shouldn't be hard to clear them out. Same deal on the breaching charges might be able to blow into the room from behind rather than trying the front door. Personally, I don't like it - we're asking for lots of attention, and I don't know if the security forces here are our friends.

C) We hit both. A couple of us go up to 206 with some of our new 'friends', and the rest hit the warehouse, run the gas, and so on. Odds of not getting a lead from either spot are pretty slim. Of course, if something goes wrong at either location, we might have some trouble, but I'm pretty confident we can handle it.

D) We don't know if Mouse even knows we're here. I think it's pretty likely - the station isn't that big, and it seems like the security forces are a corrupt mess. If he doesn't already know, he sure will when we make our move. We also don't know if he's gonna run, fight, or hide. If we hit hard enough, which we will, I'm betting he'll try to make a break for it. We can seal down the docks for a bit when we make our move regardless of the plan, but trying to fight him in there would probably result in some collateral damage. " The skeptical look crosses his face again. "I think it's worth it, but expect the Coalition finds necessary losses distasteful. So we could shift the main engagement to both locations. Run it like plan C), but rather than worrying about capturing anyone there, we just go all out and get a good fight going - at that point, we can break out some of the heavy weaponry and just kill these assholes. While that's happening, we sneak some men on his ship, and grab him when he goes to leave. Should be quick and easy, and save us having to worry about him fucking off while we deal with getting info from his men. Worst comes to worst, we'll have eliminated most of his resources, have control over his exit route, and simply have to find him. Assuming the security here isn't half as worthless as they seem, it shouldn't be too hard, and even if they are, our 'friends' are pretty eager to meet him as well, and would likely help us out a bit." He finishes tweaking his armour, and gives his carbine a quick check over.

"Finally, E) - we could just talk to the guy, arrange a meet. Seems like alot of people want him dead and no matter what we do, we're increasing the odds of that happening. I know how to get him safe passage out of here. If he's smart, and values his life over his pride, it's possible he'd just tell us what we want to know in exchange for not getting killed or incarcerated. Besides that, we've got some information that might be valuable to him and cost us nothing to share. This guy isn't Black Hand as far as I know - he's *supposed* to be a Coalition contact. I don't care what actually happens to the scum after we get our info, but it might be easier than fighting our way to him. If something's changed and the Coalition wants him gone, it wouldn't be hard to turn the residents of this shithole on eachother when we leave and let nature take it's course, whatever that might be."

"Think that about covers the options as I see them, unless you have a better idea. Once we get him, I'm betting that if you give me a few hours alone with him, we'll know everything he knows."

((Kiran likes option E, but will throw his vote in behind any plan from any team member if the others prefer it.))

Harris nodded and said "Okay, hit both. Jonah, you and the big Venator hit the room, the rest of us will attack the warehouse. Kiran you have the intel so you'll lead the attack."

Kiran's communicator beeped and a message played accross the screen "Got the charges, no gas though. Access codes are on the lieutenant that's waiting with my boys to help you. Court yard 3"

Donovan pulled the bolt on his MG back as he stepped out in his armor. "Let's go get that fucker and get ourselves off this damn station."

Vo-tec nodded "Yes, let us be done with this."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on January 31, 2017, 08:33:06 pm
We'll make do. Kiran types back, before looking up at the rest of the group. Right. Plan F then.

"Right, plan C then. We'll go meet our new friends in courtyard 3. They'll give us supplies and backup. I don't know how many men we'll have to spare for 206, but if you guys go in through a wall rather than the front door, the two of you might be sufficient." He throws a glance at the massive Venator, and signs out a crude approximation of what he just said.

"If we can spare some men, we will. Otherwise, we'll plan to breach both locations in about 45 minutes." He motions at the crate of tear gas grenades. "I'd suggest Lieutentant Schaffer take a couple of those, as well as a breaching charge from our contacts. Makes a surprise entry a little easier. My team will split up into A and B groups. I want A group, Harris and at least two other men with R-50s, out front, as well as Donovan with his heavy weapon. We'll eliminate the sentries as quietly as possible. After they're down, I'll signal, and one of our friends will drop tear gas into the warehouse via the vents. I don't expect we have flow control, so once the grenades are dropped, he'll physically block the vent off and it shouldn't matter. Should be some thick blankets or similar around here that will work well enough. As soon as the gas hits, the rest of the team, B group, will breach via the restricted corridor." He pauses here, making a mental note to insure the team breaching the warehouse itself is made aware that they are free to gain access to the corridor through any means necessary. "Once we're in, we'll try to hit hard before they have a chance to react to the gas. Should be a fairly simple mop up. A group will be responsible for dealing with anyone trying to escape via the front entrance."

Kiran pauses again, looking around to ensure the coalition team is following along. "There's a third entrance to the warehouse we don't know the location of, so we need to be fast and clear it out before anyone thinks to leave that way. I'll run everyone through the plan again once we meet with our backup, though I don't expect those scum will be able to follow much beyond 'shoot things'."

"Unless anyone else has anything to say, we can get moving." Kiran checks over his gear again, and looks around expectantly. He's set to go, though he'll need to send one more quick message before the fireworks start.

Kiran flashes him a thumbs up. Through wall and in to combat!
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 01, 2017, 08:01:12 pm
Jonah and Groat
The two of you walk through the maintenance corridor behind the housing block. One of the two Mortalis with you counts quietly and stops you in front of the right room. The two of them set up the breaching charges before taking a few steps back. One of them nodded to Jonah and said "On your go." While holding the detonator.


Kiran
Your team moves through the back hallway and finds the doorway without much problem. The back door was unguarded as your team moved into position. One of the men grabbed a crate and moved it into the middle of the hallway before setting up his MG on top of it. "Ready to go."
Everyone else gave similar affirmatives as they waited.

Harris' voice came over the communicator "They spotted us." As he said this Kiran heard the sounds of gun fire and shouting.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 01, 2017, 11:04:16 pm
On route, Kiran hails the shuttle. "Pilot, we're about to move out. The docks will be locked down once the attack gets underway, but I'm not confident that it will keep Mouse secured until we can track him down. I want you to monitor any traffic that circumvents the lockdown, or departs directly before or after. It's likely he'd leave on a civilian ship, but track any security ships that seem to be moving farther away from the station than normal. Record their warp signatures if possible, and attempt to extrapolate their courses." By the time he's finished speaking, his men indicate they are ready. Before the pilot has a chance to reply, one of the men stationed out from breaks into the comm line.

"They've spotted us!" Gunfire quickly follows, it's muffled sounds filtering through the walls. Typical. Not only is the Coalition barely competent, our friends here are utterly useless.

"Take cover and engage. You are authorized to go loud." He replies quietly, then calls up to the man stationed at the vents as the sounds of Donovan's LMG swells to the forefront of the sounds coming from the warehouse's front entrance. "Drop the gas. We're breaching." He gives a nod to Vo-Tec, signaling him to activate the breaching charges. There is a resounding *whump* that echoes through the corridor several seconds later as the wall is breached, and a thin haze floats through the corridor.

Kiran pulls his rifle up to the ready position as his squad charges the gap. "MOVE!"

He allows several men to go ahead of him, trying to gauge the level of resistance his makeshift troops are encountering from the gunfire echoing through the hall. He rounds the corner of the entrance, keeping an eye on his squad in front of him and walking methodically towards the closest cover, and makes out several shapes moving through the gas filled room. Pulling the PDW tightly against his shoulder, he lays the glowing dot of his holosight on the center mass of the nearest one and unleashes a short, controlled burst towards it, the weapon emitting a series of satisfying thumps as it fires. Without missing a beat or watching for the results, he repeats the process a second time on the next nearest figure.

Jonah and Groat (one update a day irregardless of if you post, I am not responsible for the consequences)

"Fuck it I'm not waiting all day!"

The wall blows and the two Mortalis step through firing their weapons. The first misses his shot and the bullet hits a painting on the wall while his friend manages to catch one in the chest causing the man to stumble for a second.

Kiran

Kiran's first shot goes wide and hits the cover that one of Mouse's men is using. Lining up his second shot the weapon malfunctions and jams.

The men with Kiran charge forward firing their weapons. Three manage to connect shots as they dash for cover, the men on the receiving dead before they could hit the ground.

Vo-tec fired his pistol twice as he moved into cover. The first round connected with it's target and the man fell backwards with a hole through his skull while the second missed the target.

The enemy numbered around twenty in the warehouse, now sixteen. They had moved into defensive positions towards the front of the warehouse and were in the open from your position, though they would now be scrambling for cover.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 02, 2017, 09:58:51 pm
If it can go wrong, it has on this mission. Kiran ducked down behind his cover, and racked the dud round out of his rifle. Peeking over the top, he noticed the gas had cleared somewhat, and he could make out the majority of the enemy in front of him. At least it doesn't get any better than this in terms of positioning.

Taking one of the flashbangs from his belt, he quickly radios Harris out front. "We're taking too long. Have Donovan open up on the warehouse front to keep them pinned. I don't think the front wall will stand up well to his AP load - we're mostly behind solid cover and he might get lucky on one of them. Move yourself and the rest of the squad up to the entrance, and breach in about 20 seconds." Without waiting for a reply, he lobs the grenade over top of the cover, and quickly ducks down again as it detonates. Popping up, he picks out one of the stunned gangsters, and unleashes another burst towards him.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 03, 2017, 12:21:10 pm
Half-Groat continues to properly load his MG, barely pausing as the firefight starts on the other side of the breach.   Bringing down the 'lid', he moves up to take cover behind what remains of the wall.   Popping out of cover, he fires off a couple of shots at the first target to enter his field of view, makes a mental note of where some others are, and rotates back to behind the wall.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 03, 2017, 09:56:35 pm
Kiran
you pop up and fire at the target. The man stumbles backwards as the first two shots catch him in the chest and throat and falls back when the third goes through the lens of his mask.

At the same time you hear the sound of Donovan's machine gun pick up in speed and see three of the gangsters hit the ground. All of them hit the ground dead.

Harris speaks over the radio "Breaching in ten."

Vo-tec fires his pistol at one of the gangsters and hits the gangster in the shoulder as he transitioned to the next target and fired.  The person on the recieving end of that bullet fell backwards into a crate before sliding down to the ground.

The men with you fire again and take out two more of the gangsters.

The gangsters fire at your allies and some of them manage to connect.  One of your allies hits the ground with a bullet through his head and three more follow suit while one manages to only get hit in the shoulder.

Groat and Jonah

Groat fires his machine gun and cuts down one of the gangsters. The rest are spread out through the room and number six and are still scrambling for cover but lift their weapons to fire.

Three of them fire at the exposed Jonah(D20=16,15, and 19. Damage taken=25) scoring good hits.

One of the men with you two manages to connect a shot and kill one of the men that hit Jonah.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 03, 2017, 11:47:48 pm
Kiran does a quick mental count of his remaining ammo, and switches the PDW over to single shot. Popping up over the cover again, he takes a second to acquire a target, then sends a bullet towards it, before ducking back down. He repeated the process twice more, the R-50 letting out it's trade mark thump as it threw death towards his enemies, then hunkered down and waited for Harris to breach.

Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 04, 2017, 12:05:15 pm
Half-Groat thinks for a quick second, before popping out of cover again and giving his variation on 'suppressive fire', that being just spraying at the visible targets.   While he's doing so, Groat advances through the hole in the wall, moving towards whatever cover they thought would protect them.   When he's sufficiently close enough, he just straight-up flips over the chair, sofa or table they were hiding behind.

(IIRC you mentioned that all the cover inside is just furniture, so cover wouldn't really matter much anyway)
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion

Groat and Jonah
((I wasn't aware of the situation so I apologize Lorknis. Without any information on it I treated you like I would treat anyone else.))
Jonah takes cover as Groat suppresses the enemies behind their cover. Groat's 'suppressing' fire tears into part the coach as he approaches it and lifts it up. Seeing the two men still alive Groat throws the couch into them and watches as one's neck snaps and his head rips itself off of his body and the other slams into the wall along with the couch.

The two Mortalis with the two of you fire at the only two men left in the room. The two shots connect with their targets and spray brain matter and blood onto the carpet. one of them says "Got another room over there."

You see a heavy metal door leading to another room.

Kiran

Kiran fired his weapon and connected with two of the targets. Unfortunately both his shots graze their targets.

The sound of a large explosion erupted from the front as another burst of Donovan's MG plows through the front of the building. Harris' group rushes in and takes cover before firing on the enemy that's adjusting their position. Harris' shot connects with the back of one's skull and sprays pieces of skull into another man, ripping his throat to shreds. One of the men with him fired his weapon and sprays three bullets into the spine of another of the retreating gangsters.

four of the men with Kiran fire and connect with their targets, send four bodies to the floor.

One of the gangsters drops his weapon and the others follow suit, going to their knees and putting their hands on their heads. "DON'T SHOOT! WE SURRENDER!"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 04, 2017, 01:08:56 pm
"Cease fire!" Kiran yells, attempting to end the barrage. He repeats it again, making sure he is heard. I'd expect the scum we brought with us might not like this concept.

He moves towards the surrendered men, kicking away the weapons littering the floor and keeping his weapon raised. Anyone who makes an aggressive move gets a bullet regardless of who's side they're on.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 04, 2017, 01:54:00 pm
Satisfied with the results, Groat points at the two Mortalis accompanying him, then motions towards the door.   Looking over at Jonah, he silently waits to force open the door.   When/If Jonah tells him to go in, he grunts "Breaching.", and begins to try and kick it down.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 05, 2017, 09:25:42 pm
Jonah and Groat

One of the Mortalis speaks up saying "Just kick the fuckin' door down already!"

Groat kicks the door and does absolutely nothing to it. Getting himself ready Groat slams fully into the door and it dents. Stepping back again you run full tilt into the door and it slams forward into the room.

As the door slams into the ground the sounds of two guns firing comes from the room. Groat feels the distinct thudding of gunfire against his chest plate as his two allies fired back and sends the brains of one of the two gunmen spraying into the wall. The other drops his gun and puts his hands over his head "Okay! I don't know what you want just don't kill me!"

Inside you see another metal door leading to what could safely be assumed is a panic room.

Kiran

One of the men with Kiran shouts "Sniper!" As a round rings out from the far end of the warehouse and hits one of the men with Kiran and a voice plays over the PA system "Thought you'd come in here and kill us? I survived the fucking war, I'll kill you!"

A second round rings out and hits Kiran(damage taken: 14. D20=11(enemy has bonus to hit of 3)total=14) as he moves to cover and Harris shouts "THERE'S A FUCKING SNIPER? HOW THE FUCK DI-" A third shot flies through the air and catches Harris in the kneecap. Crawling to cover he continues "SHIT! Okay, let's take him out!"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 05, 2017, 09:50:46 pm
Groat grunts, eyes locked on the surrendering coward.   Approaching him slowly, he puts one hand around the man's neck and lifts him up, slamming him against the wall.   "Wrong choice." He grumbles in basic, not particularly caring if he's understood or not.   Placing one hand on his forehead and gripping the man's chin with the other, and jerks them in opposite directions.

Happy with whatever result he gets, Groat prepares to try and knock down the remaining door.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 06, 2017, 01:54:26 am
FUCK. Kiran ducks behind the nearest cover, and checks himself over. It appears as though his armour caught the worst of it, but it still hurts. Not bleeding too bad, must have caught the side of the plate. With no time to pay attention to his wounds, he begins barking orders.

"Donovan, put some covering fire on that hole. Medic, check on Harris. The rest of you, stay down and keep your guns on these treacherous bastards. If any of them so much as move, execute all of them." Peeking over the crates he is hunkered behind, he tries to gauge the ground he'll need to cover to get beside the sniper's nest. Acceptable.

He switches his weapon back to automatic, and empties the rest of his magazine in the direction of the nest. Quickly pulling it from his belt, he slams a mag loaded with higher penetration supersonic ammo into his gun, and moves towards the far edge of his cover. Freeing up one of his remaining gas grenades, he throws it as close as he can to the view ports, waiting a moment for it to go off, then advances at a run between the next several pieces of cover, hoping the gas will keep him concealed until he reaches the side of the containers the sniper is hiding in.

Groat and Jonah

Groat doesn't manage to rip the man's jaw off before turning to the door. Kicking it a few times results in a scuff mark and not much else. One of the men knelt down in front of the now surrendered enemy and said "Tell you what you give us the code to the door and I don't let the big guy over there rip your head off."

The man gives you the code and one of the mortalis types it in. Inside is a singular man staring at the three of you "DON'T KILL ME I'LL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT!"

Kiran

Donovan's machine gun opened up on the sniper nest as and the shots ping off of the front. As the first shots hit the metal Vo-tec rushed to Harris and started working on him as Kiran sprays his gun at the nest. The shots rip through the air and hit the metal of the container and Kiran can see where his shots made a handful of holes through the metal.

Moving up to the side of the containers Kiran takes cover as Donovan's machine gun stops "Reloading."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 06, 2017, 08:00:14 pm
Kiran waits several seconds for Donovan to reload and resume firing before advancing again. Making it to the side of the container seemingly unmolested, he quietly makes his way up the stairs on the side, keeping an eye out for any traps, and letting his carbine dangle at his side and drawing the fancy Mortalis side arm he'd acquired. Kicking in the door at the top, he throws in his last flashbang, waiting for it's explosion to reverberate through the steel, before rounding the corner with the pistol readied. He will shoot anything that moves, and if it's still alive after that, pistol whip it till it stops moving.

Groat smiles and goes to say something, before realising that he's probably not getting paid if he kills this guy.    A door that thick would have to be protecting someone really valuable.    Groat enters first, partially to check for traps, partially because the ones following him are hesitating.

Kiran makes his way up to the door. Pushing the door open he sees the sniper laying on the ground bleeding from several gun shot wounds. The man's scoped rifle lay near his body. As Kiran looks the place over the sniper's comm device beeps. Giving the body a more thorough look Kiran can tell he's definitely dead, his revolver strapped to his hip and the cammo suit he'd been wearing damaged from the gun shots. His gas mask had military markings on the front that designated him as a marksman for an infantry division.

As Kiran is examining the body his comm unit beeps and a voice plays over the radio "Hey Kiran we got our guy! We bringing him to you?"

((Wilson if you want to introduce your character you can))

Groat and Jonah

As Groat enters the man backs up and says "Look I'll tell you anything you want just let me live damnit!"

The two Mortalis enter and drag the man out saying "Okay, you're gonna meet a buddy of ours."

Pressing his comm unit one of them says "Hey Kiran we got our guy! We bringing him to you?"

Kiran keys his mic. "Bring him back to the shuttle, we'll meet you there." He checks the man over for communicators or anything else that may have information or be considered as a clue, before moving back downstairs.

"Donovan, help the medic get Harris back to the shuttle. I'll deal with these." He says to the demolitions man, watching him help pick up the wounded Harris. As they leave, he turns back to the row of men kneeling on the floor.

"Gentleman," he says in the lightest tone he's used all day, "It appears you find yourselves in a poor position. You are at the hands of your enemies, and your compatriot foolishly fired on us after a surrender was accepted. It would be well within my powers to execute all of you for this dishonorable behavior." He motions with the pistol to punctuate his point. "However, my information has led our taskforce to believe there is a person of value in this warehouse. I cannot help but think there is a good chance that person is the body we've left in the sniper's hide. Still, it would be poor form to report to the people responsible for this operation that we directed so much energy into this raid only to return empty handed."

He circles the row of men, and stands infront of them, hands behind his back as though addressing a formation of Rastal void marines. "Because of this, there is a chance of leniency for one of you. I need to know the location of 'Mouse', and would like to believe at least one of you can help me. That person will leave this warehouse with me, free from harm, and be remanded into coalition custody. The rest of you will be left in the hands of these men -" He motions to Zal's soldiers, "Who I suspect will be less forgiving than I am. You will prove your knowledge and status within his organization through a simple test. Somewhere in this warehouse is a secret entrance. I would like to know where this entrance is, and where it leads. If you can provide this information, you would do well to speak now."

Floyd snorts, "'Fraid yer not gonna get anything from these youngters, boy. As I've actually worked with Mouse before, though I've jus' started workin' with 'em."


"'Fraid I can't show you where this passage is unless you- ahhh, give me a guarantee that I won't, say, die."

"Smart." Kiran leans in. "Quietly. Without the others knowing just yet - where does this passage lead?" Leaning back out, he speaks up. "Let's take a little walk, and you can show me what you know."

((Short for how long it held you all up, sorry. Busy day, but done now.))
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: Wheel-Son on February 07, 2017, 11:24:21 pm
Floyd puts his hands off his head and stands up. "Thank y' kindly." Floyd shows where the hidden passage is. "Now, I cannot exactly guarantee that whatever you're lookin' for is down there. But hopefully it is."

Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 08, 2017, 06:31:46 pm
"Good enough." Kiran remarks, casting a casual glance at Zal's men to see how closely they are paying attention. Walking back towards them, he continues. "We'll return to our ship to interrogate our prisoners. Do what you like with these ones, and inform your employer I will be in touch shortly."

He motions to the old man. "Come on."

"We're on our way back." Kiran radios to the other team. Prisoner in tow, he then sets out to meet with the others at the shuttle.

Groat's ears swivel around as one of the little one's radio comes through with Kiran's voice.   "Come on.   Bring him"   He waves at the coward with the barrel of his MG, looking down at him with disdain.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 09, 2017, 12:36:40 am
Kiran gives his prisoner a disdainful glance, looking down at his hands. Didn't expect to need handcuffs.

"I'm the guy who just saved your ass from my 'friends' back there. It doesn't otherwise matter who I am. You'll have plenty of time to tell your story to the operations' 'leader'."

He walks a little faster, anxious to get back to the shuttle and hand the surprisingly genial suspect to someone else.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 09, 2017, 01:05:33 am
You all arrive back at the shuttle as Harris walks out of the back. "Got us a couple prisoners?"

Shaking his head Harris waves Vo-Tec off and walks over to the prisoner from the room. "So, you're one of his lieutenants? Can't say I'm very impressed."

Grabbing the man's shoulder Harris looks around the dock and continues "So, I'm gonna give you one chance to tell us about Mouse. You see I'm a nice guy at heart, and I know you saw what my team did, so I'm assuming you really don't want me to give you over to any of them. I can garuntee that my friend Donovan won't care how healthy you are once he gets done with you."(d20=15 +(10((he saw a guy missing his head because of a fucking coach so yeah, he's intimidated as shit)))

The man shakes his head and says "Look, I know Mouse, known him a long time. Guy done don't want to give up anyone who's employed him but he gives a damn sight more about living than that. The tunnel in his warehouse leads to his little hide out. I know that's where he'll be, anytime someone spooks him he's always there. Issue is that he'll have a bunch of guys guarding him. Now, please don't let the big guy murder me!"

Harris patted the man on the back and said "No, I won't give you to him but your going to go with a few friends of mine."

As he said this a group of security forces walked up and grabbed the man, and one of them said "So now we're going to give you the 'special' treatment."

Harris shook his head and motioned to Floyd "You want a chance to earn your freedom?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: Wheel-Son on February 09, 2017, 04:44:11 pm
"'v course, sir. What did you need done?" Floyd says.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 09, 2017, 11:57:52 pm
Harris nodded and leaned against the shuttle. "Okay, Vo-tec will command the assault through the tunnel. My knee's fucked so our new friend here will earn his freedom by helping our little venture to the end of it's course."

Vo-tec nodded and readied his pistol as Harris looked around "So, you gonna get going or do I have to deal with any complaints?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 10, 2017, 03:44:03 pm
Kiran almost has to suppress a laugh. "I have to ask, what's our plan then? Even with good information, and a reasonable tactical plan, our last success was more because of luck than competence." As he speaks, he remembers his request to the shuttle pilot, and makes a note to check on whatever information was gleaned from his scans before they go get themselves killed in this tunnel. "I have no interest in simply running into whatever's waiting for us in that tunnel without some sort of tactics in place."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 10, 2017, 04:10:58 pm
Harris looked at Kiran and said "I talked to some security folk who are still partial to our cause. There's only room for a small tunnel, maybe capable of five men standing shoulder to shoulder wide. Donovan will take his machine gun and provide covering fire and hit any targets of opportunity. If we have any of your friend's men with us they'll move up first and take the brunt of fire. Vo-Tec will be the field commander and determine if the plan needs to be changed in the field and you will follow his orders."

Looking over the group Harris continued "The big Venator friend of ours will be right behind any men we have." Speaking in the Venator's native language Harris said "You'll move up behind the first wave of men, should be plenty of opportunity to kill some people." Switching back to Basic he continued "Kiran, our new friend who's name I didn't catch, and Vo-tec will move up behind the Venator."

"From there you'll enter what has to be a larger area, the exacts of which the security forces couldn't ascertain. Something blocking sensors activated shortly after you started shit at the warehouse. Vo-Tec will have to come up with a plan on the fly. The tunnel should have plenty of cover for you and the enemy so be careful."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 10, 2017, 05:27:35 pm
So, in other words, be sure to enter last in-case things go wrong. "Fine. Though I think it would be far more intelligent to ascertain if there is a secondary way into the hiding spot before we do anything else, I will submit to your 'plan'. If there's nothing more, I must retrieve some further equipment from my supplies before we move out."

Groat waits for everyone to finish, then starts grumbling something.   Clearing his throat, he tries again.   "Not 'Big Guy'.   I'm Half-Groat."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion

Kiran casts a suspicious glance at the Venator. "Where's the human you were with?"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 10, 2017, 10:34:18 pm
"Lunch?"  Groat shrugs his massive shoulders, his ears pinned back against his head.   "Shlaodadh... Ah...  Dragged him along."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 10, 2017, 10:47:39 pm
For a moment, Kiran simply looks at Groat, then shrugs, as if it wasn't overly important anyway. "You may want to check with the shuttle pilot before we move off. I instructed him to scan for suspicious ships leaving the station while we assaulted the other locations. Could save us a bit of wasted effort if he has anything to report." he addresses Harris.

Not really feeling like waiting for a reply, he enters the shuttle, and enters his quarters. Going over his gear, he grabs a few more magazines for the R-50, then retrives a large bag from one of the stowage compartments. Removing a long tube, he gives it a quick inspection. I was going to give this to Zal, but by the time he remembers I promised him some heavy equipment in exchange for his help, we'll ideally be long gone. He opens the back of the AT-44M, and ensures that it is loaded with the 84mm shot shell that will make it a useful tool in the tight tunnel. Throwing it on his back, he exits, and returns to the group.

"I'm prepared, if we're still doing this."

((If you don't want me to have a rocket launcher that acts as a giant shotgun, I shall simply remove this and say Zal already grabbed it.))

"I'm... Ready as I'll ever be. As I'm guessing you're not gonna be givin' me a gun of some sort." Floyd grumbles as he rubs his beard. He sighs and stands up and assumes a... unique martial art stance (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/270456381239197697/278644151510368257/unknown.png). Floyd warms up and practices, trying a few jabs and kicks on the air.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 10, 2017, 11:39:37 pm
All of you gather around the hatch as the thirty men that had been sent by Zal rushed down. The sound of gunfire drifts up as Half-Groat goes down, followed by the rest of you. As Donovan gets into position gunfire hits the wall behind you and two of the goons with you hit the ground dead.

"Get moving you fucking useless idiots!" Donovan shouts as he sets up his machine gun.

The sound of two machine guns opening up came from the other end of the tunnel along with other small arms fire. Four of your men turn and fall to the ground.

"You dense motherfuckers!" Donovan yells as he opens up. Four of the enemies stumbled back as his machine gun tore into them and sent skull fragments into the wall.

Your allies open up as they acquire targets and four more fall dead as their bullets tear into flesh and muscle. Vo-Tec fires his pistol at the closest target and shoots him through the skull as a voice comes through a PA system in the tunnel "Enjoy an early grave seccers!"

Vo-Tec shook his head and said "Donovan keep suppressing fire going, Groat move forward with the men. Kiran, Floyd, and myself will come up behind you."

Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 10, 2017, 11:48:04 pm
Saw this coming. Kiran ducks into the tunnel behind the hulking Venator, trying to keep directly behind his armoured bulk as they move forward. Letting his carbine dangle at his side, he pulls the AT-44 around, and readies it to fire should the situation turn even more sour. "Let me know when." he yells to Vo-Tec over the din. "You'll want to stand back."
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 11, 2017, 06:18:51 am
Groat advances further down the tunnel, hipfiring his MG.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 12, 2017, 01:52:51 am
Donovan let his machine gun rip through the air. The first handful of rounds send a couple more of the goons to the ground as a ten foot tall Venator steps into view...and gets ripped into by several machine gun rounds that tear his left arm off and send him staggering backwards.

At the same time the goons with you fire into the enemy and three more hit the ground as bullets tear through the air and Vo-Tec fires his pistol and brains another enemy.

At the sight of their lieutenant being dismembered the men in the tunnel start retreating back into the tunnel.

Donovan takes the opportunity to fire more at the retreating enemies and takes two down. Vo-tec fires his pistol into the back of the retreating enemy and kills one as the men with you open fire again and take another out as they scramble back.

((so essentially you get attacks of opportunity for the next update, then we'll move on from there))
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 12, 2017, 02:07:27 am
Kiran releases the AT-44, letting it hang from it's sling, and raises his carbine. Flicking the safety off, he empties the entire 25 round magazine in to the back of the retreating enemies, slowly moving the muzzle methodically left to right across the hallway, before ducking back behind Half-Groat and slamming another mag into place.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 13, 2017, 11:04:14 pm
(well, people were given sufficient enough time to post, and seeing as I have no messages telling me other wise)

Kiran's fire takes two more out as the enemy retreats into the room. The remaining men with you all turn and wait for the order to move up as Vo-Tec reloads his pistol. "You men will move in first, Half-Groat you'll follow them in, the rest of us will head in last. We don't know what's going on in there so be ready."

The men move up to the entrance and rush in. The sound of gunfire reverberates through the air as you all move in.

Inside is what once was an opulent apartment that looks like it's quickly been turned into a battle ready position. The men that had run from you are behind cover and firing as a man in heavy armor levels a machine gun at your group.

(accidently posted before I finished, but yeah you get a round to find cover before they start attacking)
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 14, 2017, 01:54:59 am
Quickly assessing the situation as Groat seems to freeze, Kiran charges forward around the Venator. Taking his last tear gas grenade from his belt, he throws it in front of him while running, then attempts to slide behind the thickest cover available that is relatively close to the enemy.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 14, 2017, 04:11:09 pm
"Big guy, mine."  Groat runs over to pretty much any form of 'cover' and returns fire, focusing on the armoured dude
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: Wheel-Son on February 14, 2017, 10:10:35 pm
Floyd draws his revolver and starts to pop shots at the machine gunner's general direction while running to cover.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 14, 2017, 10:55:50 pm
Half Groat's fire manages to find it's target as shots pinged off of the armor. "So you think you can kill me?" Tossing the machine gun to the side the being steps forward and slowly draws a sword. Pointing it at Groat he shouts "COME AND FIGHT THEN! I WILL CLEAVE YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR BODY AND DEDICATE THIS KILL TO THE ANCESTORS!"

One of Floyd's shots hits his shoulder but the man seems to shrug it off.

Kiran's grenade lands in the midst of a group before detonating causing several to duck back behind cover shouting obscenities.

Five of the men with you go down before reaching cover and returning fire. The return barrage takes out three additional targets leaving twenty two standing.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 15, 2017, 02:06:31 am
Seeing the armoured figure move from cover, and having conveniently just moved forward, Kiran decides that this would be the ideal time to use the AT-44. Bracing himself, he centers it on the sword wielding enemy's chest, yells for everyone to duck, and fires, unleashing hundreds of pellets towards his target.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 15, 2017, 11:21:14 am
If Kiran's attack succeeds, Groat grumbles under his breath, then continues firing at any people left standing.
If it doesn't, he dumps his MG on the ground and steps out of cover, yelling back.   "Dúshlán? Ar deireadh, ar troid iarbhír!"    Half-Groat runs forwards, his first attack being aimed towards disarming the big one of his sword.   The coward.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: Wheel-Son on February 15, 2017, 09:32:01 pm
Floyd pops open the cylinder of the revolver and reloads, he starts to actually aim and fire at anyone else that isn't the machine gunner.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 16, 2017, 12:10:16 am
The rocket sends it's payload forward...and entirely misses the armored man as it takes out three of the thugs that hadn't found cover in time.

Groat moves to the swordsman who readied himself and said "Now this will be a fight!" Groat's attempt to disarm the man failed as he side stepped the attack. Keeping himself at enough of a range to make use of the length of the blade the swordsman swung the weapon in an arc that brought the blade into Groat's side(to hit=14+4=18, damage=20) that breaks into the armor and cuts into Groat.

Vo-Tec fires his pistol and two more thugs hit the ground dead as Donovan readies his machine gun to unleash a steady stream of gunfire that suppresses a group of the enemies.

Floyd's shots take out three of the targets with shots to the head as he emptied the magazine. The allies with you open fire and take out an additional target leaving 13 enemies in the room.

The enemies return fire failed to hit anyone as they fire blindly for the most part.

Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 16, 2017, 11:46:39 am
Slightly more than surprised at the inability of his carefully aimed giant shotgun to even score a single hit on a target less than six feet away, Kiran decides an a slightly different course of action, if one using the same principal. From behind his cover, he yells back to Donovan.

"OPEN UP ON THE BIG GUY!"

He yanks a flashbang from his belt. Yelling a warning to Groat, he launches it towards the swordsman, before finally bringing his rifle up and sending two short bursts at his target, aiming for the presumably less-armoured feet.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 16, 2017, 11:51:11 am
"Goddamnit..." Groat mumbles, quickly backing up and bringing up his arms to shield his eyes from the flash.   After the 'bang' part of the flashbang,  Groat charges at the guy again, attempting to just straight-up rugby tackle him to the ground for easier access to face punches.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 17, 2017, 07:17:41 pm
Kiran fires after the flash bang goes off and manages to hit the man with a burst that pierces the armor on his arm. Groat goes for the tackle and manages to grab the man however he merely turns the Venator's momentum against him and slams Groat into the ground before lifting his sword and bringing it down into Groat's stomach(to hit=19, damage=15).

Donovan's machine gun starts firing and tears into the warrior, spraying lead through part of his arm and leg as Vo-tec fires a round into another thug's spine.

Two men fire their weapons and take out two of your allies as a third levels his weapon at Floyd. The two rounds that exploded from his gun flew into Floyd and tore into his shoulder with one while the other impacted the inside of the barrel of his revolver and damaged the weapon beyond use and repair.

From the room ahead of you you hear "FUCK IF I'M SITTING HERE WHILE THEY SLAUGHTER THEM ALL!" and a second figure in heavy armor walks out with shotgun in hand and shouts to his men "KILL EM ALL YOU FUCKING MORONS OR I SWEAR TO GOD YOU'RE ALL DEAD WHEN THIS IS OVER!"

With that said the man racks a shell into the chamber and takes a shot that misses it's target. Kiran recognizes some markings on the man's helmet, he's a black hand enforcer.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: ApatheticExcuse on February 17, 2017, 07:44:01 pm
"DONOVAN, SHIFT YOUR FIRE!" Kiran yells, letting his rifle fall free again and pulling the ornate Mortalis pistol from his belt. Steeling himself mentally, he rushes the swordsman in a weaving path, attempting to jam the pistol into his armpit and put two rounds of type 63 explosive ammo into him as he raises his sword for another blow.

Regardless of the result of this, Kiran will then attempt to dive behind the cover on the other side of the room.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 17, 2017, 07:51:01 pm
Groat brings his legs up and attempts to wrap them around the waist of the big guy, twisting to the side and bringing his legs in.   With any luck, Kiran ended up killing the guy, so it might just end up with Groat looking like a weirdo while wrestling with a corpse.

If Kiran did in fact succeed in killing the armoured guy, Groat yanks the sword out of his grip and charges at the other big guy.

give him a good burial
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 17, 2017, 09:24:57 pm
((updating twice today since I didn't update yesterday))

Donovan was already moving his fire towards the new target and landed a series of hits on the man as Kiran fired his two shots. One connected and sent the man's sword arm flying across the room as the sword clattered to the ground a few feet away. The lifeless body fell to the ground as Groat grabbed the sword as he charged the new armored foe and swings the weapon at the man. Cutting into him the man back pedals and attempts to ready the shotgun before falling backwards. "Damn...guess this is...." Groat notices the man pull the pin on a grenade as he continues "It. Go to hell." (it'll explode next turn, so maybe run away)

The enemy fire their weapons and only manage to take out one of the men with you as Vo-Tec returns fire and kills two as your allies manage to take down three more.


Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: guest48 on February 18, 2017, 01:49:19 pm
Groat, probably bleeding profusely at this point, tightens his grip on the sword and just runs in the other direction, trying to make it to cover.
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 19, 2017, 08:55:01 pm
Groat makes it to cover as the grenade explodes and Donovan rakes fire over the enemy group taking two down as the gangsters with you kill another two with not so well placed shots but more volume of fire and Vo-tec fires an accurate shot into the head of the last of the enemies, sending brain matter over the wall.

Vo-tec steps out of cover and shouts "Kiran, Donovan, get in that room, the rest of you too! Groat get over here so I can start patching you up!"
Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion

Title: Re: Joint Operation Legion
Post by: RedVulnus on February 21, 2017, 08:25:06 pm
Vo-Tec pulled out his medkit as Groat allowed him to get to work.

At the same time Floyd walked into the room with his entirely useless damaged pistol(this is why we read the entirety of the GM's posts people) and didn't notice the string set up across the entrance way that led to the improvised booby trap. The hammer of the shotgun fell and both barrels of the old weapon sprayed hot lead that tore into Floyd's arms and body(damage=20, to hit rolls=18,16.). Inside the room Floyd saw Mouse trying to get a doorway open "Fucking fuck fucketty fuck what's the fucking code again? 3231? No!" Looking over his shoulder he spots Floyd, and the gun that was so obviously non functional that Mouse stopped to laugh before sighting the men coming in after Floyd with much more obviously working guns that they pointed at the man.

"OKAY OKAY DON'T SHOOT I AIN'T GOING TO RUN! JUST DON'T SHOOT AND I'LL TELL YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT!" He shouted as he put his hands up and stepped away from the door.


((okay, real quickly here this is something I think was missed, but I'll point it out for this section of the RP anyway because I'm getting everyone acclimated to mechanics. "Two men fire their weapons and take out two of your allies as a third levels his weapon at Floyd. The two rounds that exploded from his gun flew into Floyd and tore into his shoulder with one while the other impacted the inside of the barrel of his revolver and damaged the weapon beyond use and repair."
Those last four words are the important bit. This is something I won't point out after this first part of the adventure. The weapon was broken beyond repair, which would be obvious to the character. This will likely happen again, maybe to the PCs maybe not, but you need to pay attention either way. As I stated I'm not going to really repeat these types of things after this first part unless something is particularly bad.

In short: pay attention or bad things might happen because I punish bad role play or lack of attention.

GM rant over))

(Well this is pretty well it for this first part so I'll just push it ahead to getting back to base since the shuttle ride would be boring as shit)

Donovan walked in and grabbed Mouse "You're coming with us idiot. Besides you really want to be left here with them?" he said and motioned towards Zal's men.

Mouse didn't respond as he followed Donovan out as Donovan said "Floyd you're coming with us too, you got more work to do 'fore we let you off the hook."

Vo-Tec had patched Groat up sufficiently that they could get to the shuttle where he could do more for the wounded Venator. The trip to the shuttle passed rather quickly as you walked through the corridors. The hangar door opened and you walked to the shuttle. Harris looked up at you and nodded. "Good job everyone, now let's get back to the station."

Some time later

Upon arriving at the station two men took Mouse and started towards what you assumed to be interrogation cells. You were called into the same briefing room where a Mortalis commander was waiting. He leaned back in his seat and put his boots on the table as he looked at his datapad.

"Let's see, y'all blew up a portion of the station that potentially housed civilians, which thankfully at the moment it didn't. That's the biggest issue here, otherwise everything you did was within acceptable parameters as set by the brass. You brought the target alive, confirmed his work with Black Hand, and we are now interrogating him. So...good job? I don't know I'm usually the guy in y'alls position so dismissed for the day."

So that is the conclusion of part one. That was overrall enjoyable despite some hiccups like nearly killing Groat, which wasn't planned but when you charge the guy with a big sword you're liable to get hit, and the laser pistol grenade being as overtly effective as it was.

So what I'm going to do for the next part is this: for the next four days( Thursday to Monday in the states) you can let me know if you want to join the next part, and we'll be starting after a seven day break so we can all have a good amount of off time. If you don't let me know that you want to participate before those first four days you can PM me and I'll review a few things like: Post frequency(did you post every day), did you ever refuse to post, and if you've done things like meta-gaming.

As a quick note on those first two: If you had legitimate reasons not to post that I was made aware of that will be taken into account(of course if I learn after the fact it will still be taken into account), and if I ever just pushed things along(like I just did) that obviously won't count.

and for those wondering what the hell my update times are: any point after 7 pm. If you don't post after 7 pm I'm liable to end up updating anyway. It's just when I have the amount of time to update, but I can push starting the updates back a bit if needed. and keep in mind my time is Central Standard Time in America so do keep that in mind.

Any questions are welcome, and when I put up the thread for part 2(yes, I'm doing separate threads for the different parts) this one will get locked.

Oh hey, we actually finished an RP. Go us. I'll be down for part two, though likely with a different char.

As a note for everyone after I post the intro to part 2 you can choose what character you want to use no need to do that now.
