Utterly Mad

Wolf:
((Remember the belly-gunner's seat? The one that James have been inefficiently filling remotely?))
"Ok, I'm willing to learn!"

You all mount up, and buckle in.
You signal the VTOL. It accends into the sky a bit, banks over to the air above your walker, and lowers a heavy cable. Leon gets out, makes sure it's securely attached, and returns to his seat.
And thus, the VTOL takes off, pulling the walker into the air with it. Since it's not a very powerful VTOL, it moves quite slowly. But by all accounts, it's faster than the walker could get back to base.

Eventually the VTOL comes in to drop you. It goes close to the ground, and the cable automaticly release the walker.
You hit the ground with a thud, but the legs manage to soften the impact nicely.

You are now in the yard in front of the garage. The sun is setting, hidden behind the treeline.
Your crew release their safety belts.

Smasher:
Refusing to be late again, you rush for the helipad.
As you approach, you see how VTOL's are lifting off one by one.

You run up on the platform, and hop up on the last VTOL.
You're now aboard, and the team welcomes you. There are heavy machineguns mounted on both sides of the VTOL, and the sides are open.
With open sides, the view is astounding.

The squadleader aboard the VTOL speaks to you.
"Almost left without ya kid. Do you know the battle-plan?"

"Alright Guys and Gals, that was an interesting first day. Make sure you park this in the garage and get restocked. I need to talk with the Major." Duncan says as he proceeds to then exit said tank and make his way to the Major.

Attention all units. The day has ended. The sun is replaced with Vita's 2 moons.

Wolf:
The walker is parked, and your crew begins to do a maintenance check.
You head on over to the HQ though, and eventually end up in the major's office.

He shakes your hand.
"Welcome to my band of special forces corporal. We call ourselves the marauders. Take a seat."
You sit down in his dimly-lit office. A small lamp hangs directly above his desk. It's one of the many weak lamps, to keep down the electrical needs of the compound.
You get a good look at the major though, thanks to the light. He's a middle-aged man, with a brown, full beard. His uniform is exactly that of a major, blue barret included.
"Wick's the name. Major Bob Wick. I hear you've had one of the best first days anyone's ever had on this god-forsaken planet?"

Smasher:
The formation of VTOL's soon comes into view of the tower. But the now gone sun is making it a bit harder to see. But you can see the tower. It's standing on the edge of a cliff, high up in the mountain. There's only one road to it, and it's been heavily fotified with walls and trenches.
Your VTOL stays in the rear as the ones in front goes in quick and heavy on the fortified approach.
You stay up in the air, as the VTOL circulates the battle.
Below you see the forces making progress with flamers and heavies. The door gunner is firing precicely down on the hounds below.

But soon enough, you spot something bad by the tower. The hounds pull back a tarp, revealing an AA-gun.
Before you've managed to warn anyone, it opens fire on your VTOL.
Wether the gunners suck at aiming, or pure luck, the shells fly past the open door, and instead hits the engine. The pilot grunts as the VTOL disregards his commands.
#Shit! Everyone hold on! WE'RE GOING DOWN!#

You spin out of control. Thus you're unable to see where the VTOL comes down.
Alas, soon enough it does.

But you're all ok. The pilot managed to land you close to the tower, just a mere 100 meters away. But between you and the tower sits the AA-gun.

You're now in cover behind the crashed VTOL. There are several hounds firing at you, and a couple of them are trying to flank you.
Your squad fires wildly, trying to stay in control.

Hettie presses her back against the wreckage, attempting to remember weak spots on the hounds.   "Come on idiot, think!   Exposed gas tanks?   No...   Viewports?"  She draws her pistol, quickly glancing over her cover to look at the Hounds.   "Model...  HTY-3, has a...   Exposed piston above the engine compartment?"

((Shit, missed Lucas. Sorry))
Lucas:
Problem with your plan being that there are no combatants. This is a slaughter...

Your squad moves into the village. The screams of fear of agony feigning slightly to the distance.
Your CO notes that you're remaining idly by the edge of the village. He's there alone with you.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GET TO IT MAGGOT!"

(The Hounda are organic?   Guess that's what I get for not paying attention to early posts.)
Hettie quickly checks the guns of the crashes VTOL, hoping that they're at least working enough to fire a could shots off.

Hettie dismounts the HMG and starts advancing towards the tower, shotgun ready.
