Robotech - Tales of the UEEF (Main)

[Orikanyo]

Grumpy followed suit, the bomb hoisted and running like a madman that wasn't holding a big ass explosive device on his ass. He kept hismelf steady as he ran, his gallant strapped to his back and ready to fire should they come against any issues on the way. He only hoped the sergeant was hot on their trail cause he just knew things were gonna get hot soon.

 

[Psychie]

Amanda hits her stride in just a few steps, thankful for the first time for all those miserable hours spent in PT. They had to get in, find the survivors of the Raven, set the bomb, and get out alive. No easy task, but one that she is up for.

 

[Sherwood]

As you begin to move down to where the hive is, you can hear the first of several explosions going off at the hilltop where the mines were planted. From inside the hive, several more Invid come flying out, along with several Inorganics that go running up the hill. At the same time, the Invid on the hill begin opening fire at random, blasting trees around them in anger for the sudden attack.

At the hive, you can see several entrances at both ground level and up higher on the side. Once you get a little closer, you can see a slight shimmer of a force field up at the ground level entrances, leaving you with only a few options. You recall from your briefings that the force fields are relatively weak, so you could theoretically blast through them and get inside. Option two is to climb up the hive to get into one of the higher level doors that don't have a force field up. The walls are rough enough that you can probably make your way up to one of the other entrances without difficulty. Or, you can try to make a hole in the wall and enter into some other place in the hive.

What do you do now?

 

[Psychie]

Amanda looks up, then to either side. "I say we go up, and use our rope from the survival packs to pull the bomb up behind us. If we try to blast our way in, it will use up our ammo fast and warn any Invid inside that we are coming in."

[Sherwood]

Alex kneels down and grabs his survival pack, and pulls out a length of rope. "Here. Lets secure this to the bomb. Once we have climbed up, we can haul it up." Luckily, the warhead is designed to be field deployed, so it is somewhat more rugged than it might be otherwise, so when it is being pulled up the wall and banging about, it won't break.

Everyone, please give me a Climbing skill roll.
Psychie Kwops Orikanyo Epiphany WlfSamurai

 

[Psychie]

Amanda tells herself, This is no different than climbing the rock wall in the rec room back on the Mac. No worries here. She shoulders her rifle, ties the length of rope to her belt, then begins to scramble up the wall, looking for hand holds along the way. As she goes up, she calls down on the radio, "Follow my path. It is pretty easy going along here."

 

[Sherwood]

Since Psychie did so well, everyone else gets a +5% to your roll.

 

[Orikanyo]

"Up we go, just don't look down." grumpy began to slink his way up the rope, he was good at climbing, not hard to be when your training includes it in the basics. He kept an eye out off anything trying to poke it's nose around, last thing they need is to be caught NOW.

 

[Sherwood]

As Grumpy is climbing up, the outcropping that you thought would hold your weight doesn't, and you find yourself falling. Luckily, the distance you fall is not far, and the others on the ground leap forward to help break your fall so you don't cause any serious injury to yourself.

Go ahead and give me another Climbing attempt.

 

[Orikanyo]

"...Just getting all the bad luck out of the way at the start." grumpy noted, attempting to get up once more.

 

[Epiphany]

"Right. Up we go then!"

Chen rubs her hands against her armored legs and hops up, hoping all that training pays off under field conditions.

 

[Sherwood]

Chen scrambles up the side of the hive with no problem, soon to be followed by Alex, Juryrig and Stinger. Once everyone is up, the squad is able to easily hoist the nuke up to the opening you are at. With just a few bumps and bangs, the bomb is now back up with the team, and Juryrig and Stinger take up the weapon. With the rest of you taking up your weapons once more, you look around. You are in a short corridor that leads towards the center before it splits off into a four way intersection. There is dim light provided by bioluminescent strips along the walls, providing a slight greenish tint to everything. The hall is large enough for a Beta fighter to walk in Battloid mode, and about twice as wide. Numerous organic-looking projections stick out from the walls at random intervals, giving you limited cover if some Invid were to come past. A dull humming sound can be heard through the halls.

Looking at your arm sensors, you are within 100 feet of a large group of the missing crew from the Raven, and to get to them, you need to head off to the right.

 

[Orikanyo]

"If we get to the rest of the group we can arm those who can fight still, we still got weapons with us for em." he patted the extra wolverine he had used earlier, taking more liking to the lighter gallant. God knows he wasn't takeing it off it's M.D.C setting in here, whatever they come across they need dead immediately. "Plus, it may be deep enough for us to plant our bomb, we got some more time before the time bombs go off and the beehive gets kicked."

 

[Psychie]

Amanda nods in agreement. "I have my Gallant and a handful of grenades, too. With everyone handing off their backup weapon, it will nearly double our firepower on the way out of here. We just gotta get as far as we can before the intruder alarm is sounded."

Before going any farther, she makes sure that there is a full magazine of MDC rounds loaded up in the Wolverine, ready to go.

[Sherwood]

Just before you are ready to move, you hear the sounds of heavy footsteps of mecha walking along the side corridor, giving you just enough time to duck behind some cover and hide. Moving past the opening are three Troopers and three of the more human sized Soldiers, all escorting a group of five people down the hall. The people are all naked, and they have obvious injuries and bruising on them, showing that they have not been well treated by their Invid captors. Two of them are women, and they are both sobbing, begging the guards not to take them to the brain, but the three men are more stoic, and are trying to help the two crying women along under the watchful eye of the Invid.

You have the opportunity to make a surprise attack if you so choose, but you must attack now or they will be down the corridor and out of sight. What do you do?

 

[Psychie]

How are the Soldiers armed? Do they have their heavy plasma rifles and shields? I know that the Troopers are melee attack only, but the others are a more deadly threat, depending on what they are packing.

 

[Sherwood]

One of the three have the heavy rifle and shield, but the other two do not.

 

[Psychie]

Amanda leans out from her hiding position and calls out, "REF! Duck!" Then, she says, "Suck on this, asshole!" and she fires a burst at the head of the Soldier with the heavy shield and plasma rifle on its arm.

[Orikanyo]

"Remember, strike the eyes." Grumpy spoke up, raising his rifle. "Lets go!" grumpy shoulder's his rifle and aims for the eye of one of the trooper's.

 

[Sherwood]

Currently, the Trooper that Grumpy targeted is down, but the Soldier that Scorch hit is still up.

 

[Epiphany]

As the naked REF personnel hopefully scatter, Chen drops to one knee, hoists her RL-6 onto her shoulder and fires!

 

[Sherwood]

As the naked REF personnel hopefully scatter, Chen drops to one knee, hoists her RL-6 onto her shoulder and fires!

Which one is your target?

 

[Sherwood]

The missile flies out, slamming into the head of the damaged Soldier with a glancing hit, staggering it.

Alex lines up a shot with his Wolverine, and manages to take it out before it can use its deadly plasma cannon on you.

As all of this is going on, some of the prisoners drop to the deck as Scorch had ordered, while the other two break into a sprint to get away from their tormentors. At least none of them are in the line of fire of your weapons.

Psychie is up at the start of the normal combat round.

[Psychie]

Yeah! Take them out! Now, lets finish this fight! With another aimed burst, she takes another shot, this time at Soldier 1.

[Sherwood]

Scorch fires, taking careful aim to take the Invid in its head. The hard armor holds under the attack, but it is damaged.

The two Troopers lunge forward towards Grumpy, both of them swinging their deadly claws at you. They will hit unless you Dodge or Parry.

The two Soldiers take aim at Scorch, and fire at her with arm lasers hidden away inside their armor. They will hit unless you Dodge or Parry.

Orikanyo is up, and Psychie needs to roll a defense
