The captain is fading fast. If someone else wants to try to stabilize him, you have one more chance to do it.
 
Grumpy didn't know much about the human body, he was a veritech guy, hell he knew more on how to hurt then healing.

But they had a first aid kit and a man who was looseing blood fast, so he had to do SOMETHING! grabbing first aid his kit he began to hurry through what instructions he could find for such wounds, anti-septic, gause, pressure on the wound, god damn it why did he go to damn med school! he had to act quickly, by god if this worked they were going to need to find someplace safer quickly!
 
The group works frantically, trying to save the life of the wounded captain. Eventually, the bleeding does stop, but not for any good reason. Despite your best efforts, the amount of damage done to him was just too much for you to treat.

Alex wipes the blood off of his hands and then gently reaches out and closes the eyes of the dead man. It is one thing to know that people die in a war, it is quite another to have them die right in your hands as you struggle to save them. He is obviously upset, but he's doing his best to keep it together. "Rest in peace, sir. I'm sorry we couldn't save you." At this point, Alex looks up at the rest of the team. "Whoever did this to us, I want their fucking heads! The Invid killed him, but the person that put us on this planet is just as guilty, and by God I'll get them for this!"

His sorrow is shifting to rage, and he stands up and snatches his rifle up from the ground and walks over to look at the sergeant, expecting the worst there, too. A surprised shout comes up from Alex. "Holy crap! He's alive! He's got a nasty hit to his head, but he's still breathing. Probably got a concussion, but he's alive."
 
Amanda goes to join Alex next to the unconscious man. "Lets get his head wrapped up, then we have to get out of here. We'll rig up a gurney to carry him until he wakes up." Keep busy, and don't think about the Captain. You have a responsibility to stay alive. Keep it together, girl. "We need to grab the nuke, too. Pair off. Two people on the sergeant, two to carry the bomb. Lets get to the first nav point and see what's there."
 
Grumpy stared down at the man he desperately tried to save.. So much used gauze.. So much blood... The life of a soldier is a hard one, and harder still is swallowing the bitter pill that not all get through life alive. "Rest easy Captain Wilson... We'll get your men back safe and sound sir.." The man looked to the bomb and walked over to it, he carressed the side of the thing, abit of blood smearing the side. "I got a plan for my next research project, once we get outta here that is...

These invid don't play nicely, I'll designed a bot that'll kick their's to kingdom come... See how they like the impersonal approach." the man grumbled, moving to heft up the bomb as he could. "Once that damn shield is finished... until then..."
 
With the five of you working together, you are able to make up a litter for the unconscious sergeant in quick order. At this point, everyone is hungry, thirsty and tired. Luckily you currently have plenty of food and water on hand. After spending a few minutes getting some food in you, your energy returns enough to get some distance from this point where you were attacked.

Several miles later and it is now dark, but thanks to your helmet displays, you can still see well enough to keep moving if you so wish. But, you won't be able to keep up this pace for too much longer; you are all getting quite worn out.

It looks like the nav point is just up ahead. Do you press onwards, or stop to get some shut eye and continue in a few hours?
 
Amanda can feel her strength fading quickly. Even with everyone switching off on occasion, it is still hard work carrying the nuke and the sleeping sergeant. Setting her end of the litter down, she turns to look at the rest of the team. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm running on fumes here. I sure could use a few hours of sleep, but we are so close to the nav point. Shall we keep pressing forward, or stop? We don't know what we're walking into."
 
About that time, Chen appears, melting out of the underbrush like someone used to stalking through the forests for a living. Which, technically, she was. Her armor bears a single wide claw swipe across its length but she seems to be in otherwise good health and spirits, if somewhat fatigued herself.

"Sorry for being separated there, Storm Dragons. Ended up with a giant metal cat on my tail. Finally managed to lure it to a cliff and drop it off before finding our way back to all of you." She eyes the stretcher and shakes her head. "Looks like we missed a lot. But if you're going after the same nav point that we are, probably best we all call it a night first. We don't know if the nav point is a safety zone or a target. It's dark. We're tired. And we have wounded. Let's hunker down, catch a few hours and do this in daylight."

"I'll take first watch."

"Makes sense to me," Ty says coming up behind Chen. "Glad we got that taken care of. You sure about the watch? I'm pretty wired. Not sure I can sleep just yet. I don't mind." He notices the hurt captain for the first time. "Wow. What happened to the Captain?"

A pang of guilt settles into Ty's chest. His team was in the trenches and he wasn't there to help them. Seeing the Captain injured to the extent that he is makes the feeling only grow. He should have been here. He could have helped. He does his best to keep the disappointment and anger from showing on his face. The team needs him. Now more than ever.
 
Amanda slumps down to the ground, feeling drained. "The Captain is dead, this is his sergeant that we ran into. He's got some kind of concussion, and is out cold. But at least he's alive. Those Cougars tore into them big time." She takes another deep drink from her canteen, feeling her eyelids getting heavy. "I just need a few hours of sleep, then I'll be ok."
 
Amanda’s words strike Ty like a bag of bricks. He had assumed, like an idiot, without really looking. And now he looked insensitive and stupid. A wave of thoughts flows through Ty all of which looking for some way to make it right. It’s gone to far already, he devices. So, he allows himself to steal a glance at the injured man.

“I’m...” Ty says and stops. He tries again. “I’m sorry Amanda. Everyone. Sorry. I should have been here. Get some rest.” He turns to find a perch for first watch.
 
"Alright Ty, lightning, looks like you both got first watch. Lets do this in pairs in case we get ambushed, two heads are better than one they say... Plus its better than argueing about who gets first watch." Grumpy shrugged before examining the bomb again, nasty piece of work it was.

Elegant, in a way, as well.

Full of potential.

(Both lightning and ty claimed first watch on their posts, plus really would rather two pairs of eyes open)
 
During the night, there is the occasional sign of the Invid flying in some kind of patrol pattern a short distance away. At one point, the sounds of their engines can be heard almost directly overhead, but they don't see you down under the thick canopy of the trees. Come morning, and everyone is feeling much better and more refreshed, even if you did spend the night sleeping in your armor.

Checking on the sergeant, you can see that his breathing is stronger than yesterday, even if he is still out cold. Hopefully he'll wake up soon.

After everyone is up and ready to move once more, you continue on your path to the navigation point on your arm displays. After about another half hour of travel, you come to see another UEEF supply box sitting in the forest under a tree.

Alex looks around before setting out for the box. "Looks clear. I'd have to guess that our kidnappers are trying to buy our affections with gifts. Not that it will make up for the lives that have been lost. Shall we?"

When you open the case, you find another hefty cache of supplies.

Ten Gallons of Fresh Water
Twenty MREs
Two Suits of CVR-3 Body Armor
Three 50 MDC Heavy Duty Arm Shields
One RL-6 Rocket Launchers with six HEAP Mini-Missiles
One BigBore “Room Sweeper” Belt-Fed Shotgun, with a 180 round MDC ammo pack
Four H-260 Valiant Laser Assault Rifles with One Magazine each
Five Magazines of HEAP Ammunition for the Wolverine Assault Rifle
Twelve Fragmentary Grenades for the Wolverine Assault Rifle

"I'm not sure I'd consider these gifts," Chen says, looking over the supplies.

"Our armor's been modified. We're given our own weapons and ammunition, placed in an area with others of our kind as well as a hostile enemy. An enemy already proven to kill. It seems to me that we're in some kind of a gladiatorial or survival competition. Something done for sport and entertainment. I haven't seen any cameras but then I've never seen invisible spacecraft and teleportation technology either."

Chen inspects the food and water before partitioning it out among the team. She also takes one of the rocket launchers and missile sets for herself, as well as another magazine or two. There's simply too much ordinance for the squad to carry. But that doesn't mean it won't be useful later.

"Let's stash the rest. We may meet up with more of the Raven's crew and it may be worth our while to circle back and rearm them accordingly. This may be a game to our captors but it's deadly serious for us. No one else dies, is that clear? Now, resupply yourselves and let's get underway. I believe we still have another nav point or two to investigate, after all."
 
"The raven's crew is largely dead or captures Lightning, so whatever we bring, we're likely either gonna use or give to em when we get them back." Grumpy added, before snooping about one of the room sweepers. "I only used one of these things in simulations... A diamond in the rough aren't you sweetie?" He asked the gun with more sweetness than a typical man should give a gun.

Stopping short of makeing out with the thing, he eyed the fresh suits of armor. "If only the sergant was awake we could fit him for new armor... And a helmet, I know its stuff but protecting your head is key." the man sighed before examining Valiants.

"Man, itsvlike they expected more of us..."
 
"Thats... an unsettling thought... Well.. If so we'll need to clear the invid threat.. The fact they have a lead in mecha against us just puts the odds even more out of wack..." the man gazed at the woods, hands on his new friend, whom he has realized is abit to heavy for him... Sadly.

"If this was a game... what would the end goal be? Get rid of the enemy? Capture the flag? We have the means to breeak down a basecamp..." he motioned to the bomb nearby, takeing out the rifle attatchment he picked up for the gallante and put it on. No sense playing around with the wolverine if he wasn't useing the explosives.

"Someone take these grenades, I'm switching arms."

As everyone starts to go through the gear in the cargo box, the sergeant lets out a groan and shifts position, trying to sit up. "Oh, sweet Jesus, my head hurts! What the hell happened?"

Alex rushes over. "Take it easy, sergeant! You've had a nasty blow to the head. You might have a bit of a concussion. You need to lie down and rest for a moment." As he talks, he pulls out his medical pack and looks for some painkillers. Taking out a couple of pills, he says, "Here. These should help with the headache you've got."

The sergeant takes the pills with a grimace. "Thank you, sir. Other than my aching head, I'm feeling . . . pretty good. Hungry, though. Last thing I remember is getting pounced on by a Cougar and then it all goes black. How long have I been out?"

"Most of a day. Take it slow. You might be ok, but just be careful, ok? Lets make that an order."

"Yes, sir. Don't worry; I won't be moving too fast until those pills kick in. My mum always told me that I have a thick skull; I guess this proves her right."

Alex chuckles. "Take an MRE and eat. Then, once you feel better, you can switch out your damaged armor for a fresh suit, and there are plenty of weapons to grab up."
I forgot to add the amount of bullets for the shotguns. Each one has a ammo pack with 180 MDC rounds.
 
Amanda heads over to join Alex next to the sergeant. "Hey there, Sleeping Beauty! Good to have you awake. How are you feeling? A little rough, I imagine. Go slow, get something to eat and drink, and relax a bit." She looks back at the supplies in the new cargo box and decides to snag a couple more magazines for her Wolverine and four more grenades for it. "You guys can stick with the Gallants, I want to keep my hands on this Wolverine. I like that Auto Shotgun, but its just too big of a weapon for me to use. I got to stick to the smaller rifle." We need to keep this location set. We may need the extra supplies here if we run into more Invid.

Sgt. Dobson chuckles, then groans in pain. "Ouch. Ma'am, don't make me laugh until the painkillers have kicked in. Other than this headache, I'm ok." He glances down at his damaged armor, then starts to strip it off. "Looks like a change is in order. Sirs, give me a few and I'll get all geared up." He stands and moves slowly, as if he's still a little unsteady.

After a few minutes, the big man is now in fresh armor, and he reaches inside the case and grabs up one of the Big Bore shotguns and hefts it with ease. After grabbing it and attaching the ammo pack to his back, he then snags one of the RL-6 rocket launchers and a satchel full of rockets for it. "There. That gives me some firepower to give a bit of payback to those fuckers. What's the plan, sirs? Are we going to hit the hive? I want to watch that place go up in pure light from the bomb we have."
 
"Glad to see your alright Sergant, glad one of us can hold those shotguns. And in truth, it's abit of a toss up, we can hit the Hive with what we have, the rocket launchers will help a great deal, but we need to get inside the hive for the best chance of takeing it out with the bomb.. And also finding our missing friends." Grumpy thought about it before looking to lightning. Whoever brought us here is arming us, meaning each crate we open is another piece of the puzzel.

If we hit the other one on the way, assumeing the next blip is a crate, we may find soemthing else... Perhaps soemthing to draw out the invid so we can hit them where it hurts? From what i've read they are attracted to protoculture like moths to a flame.."
 
Alex says, "It seems that our hidden captor wants us to be ready for a fight. If this nav point is a supply cache, it is likely that there is other caches at the other two nav points out there." He looks at the display. "There is one more point on this side of the hive. Shall we hit that one and see what's in it?"
 
"The nav point it is, then. Sergeant, we can carry you if you need a little more time." Chen smiles and holds up her hands inoffensively. "I know, you're a very tough, capable soldier but you took a hit and no one here including you is qualified to diagnosis it. Despite that, I'll let you keep pace with us if you feel you're up to it but the most valuable thing you can do right now is be as rested and healthy as possible when we do engage the Invid. Accomplishing the mission is what matters, not how you got there."

Otherwise, seeing the rest of the Storm Dragons are about ready to go, she says "Grumpy, Juryrig, I want you two handling that bomb. Alex, see if you pick up any other radio signals since it wouldn't surprise me in the least if more UEEF personnel show up here. Stinger, you watch our sides. Sergeant, if you're up to it, cover the side Stinger's not on. Scorch, watch the rear. I'll take point."

"Let's get to it!"
 
With a professional nod, Amanda takes her Wolverine in hand. "You got it, LT. I'm set."
