WHO: Alpha Team WHERE: Oros ; en route to and outside the Trilk base WHEN: Jan 12 - 20 WHAT: miscellaneous ass kicking WARNINGS: violence? will update with anything else
( pick a day, pick a fight you want to thread out, header it up and go! )
[Recovery from a severe sandstorm. Not every day April can add something new to her list of #shitisurvived. But the comms are back on when they're all beginning to group up again and none too soon.
The trilk base is starting to rustle in activity and their job was made clear: Remain outside and keep them from getting to the Beta team.]
If anyone can read me I could use a hand at my coordinates. Things are going to get hairy.
[Her wrist comm picks up both her voice and the sounds of her loading up her rpg as well as loading a magazine into her handgun. When they start coming out she is going to be ready.
April also has an ace up her sleeve. She's focusing her telepathy on anyone not from the assigned teams coming from the walls of the homebase.]
[ the alpha team lead had been with the late group to arrive, but carolina's been in comm contact with the rest of her alphas as she flits around the perimeter, staying to fight with her friends for a while before moving wherever she's needed. and right now, she knows where she seems to be needed. ]
Copy, April. On my way.
[ and by on her way, carolina means she's going to show up in a blur of blue armour, moving considerably faster than she should be able to (or would be able to, without her favourite speed enhancement equipment running in her armour) as she passes april to head off the incoming trilk. she has a long piece of pipe in one hand, scrap from one of the guard posts, and she uses the momentum from swinging it out in front of her to stop. as a bonus, she knocks a handful of enemies back and off-balance, should april need a breather. ]
yes good. idk why but i thought of this: http://i.imgur.com/d8XraUW.png
[Before she can even aim the rocket launcher on her shoulder Carolina's swift run past has her red hair flying about. Damn. Only mutants or aliens have shown that kind of power and speed in April's experience.
But she's shaken out of her brief staring at the blue armored leader when her psychic sense bring her attention ahead to the trilk following the main line.
The ones that actually have weapons.]
They're armed!
[April quickly adjusts her aim and a trail of smoke follows her rocket. Before hitting its mark, one of the firing special forces get a good shot in and April's rpg literally disintegrates from the plasma.
Luckily her reflexes are fast enough for her to see it coming and drop the weapon before it's fully gone.]
REALLY ARMED!
[She takes out her hard light knife and handgun from sheath and holster while leaping remarkably far to land near Carolina.]
'Atta girl. [ it's about as supportive as she gets, but there's no denying that april has impressed her on this mission. she's no special ops, but there's clearly a lot of fight to her, and those tricks she keeps pulling out? very impressive.
carolina half-turns to check in with april visually, making sure she doesn't have any obvious damage to her gear outside of missing her rocket launcher, but then she's got her attention back to the incoming trilk, giving her pipe a twirl in her hands as one of the less armed trilk gets back to its feet to retaliate. ]
If I get you one of their guns, think you can do some extra damage with it?
[Beaming at Carolina in the middle of open battle? On the cocky side, even if unintentionally so. That doesn't keep her from capitalizing on an opportunity. She fires a round at the trilk's foot, using one opening to make another for Carolina.
Marksman. She can put that on a resume somewhere, right?]
I'd say it's a safe bet. Plus it'll save me ammo for this and my ray gun.
[The one that's definitely going to fritz on her according to K-2SO's calculations.]
If you want to go in I think I can give you enough cover until you secure one.
[ because as soon as she kills the two nearest trilk, her focus goes to getting her armour's adaptive camouflage running. she didn't make use of her suit most of the hike here, but now that there's serious action, carolina's letting herself stretch her legs, so to speak. she's clearly in her element here.
she doesn't go invisible, just really hard to follow, her armour morphing from the beacon-like cyan to a mottled brown, matching the ground around them. the trilk may be smarter than they look, but like this she can disorient them long enough to get behind their loose formation, taking out two from behind before she jumps on the back of the nearest one mounted with one of those plasma guns, kicking the top of its head hard enough to stun it momentarily. which is all she needs, evidently, to undo the mounting and follow up with a killing blast from its own weapon. that's fair, probably. and then it's just a matter of taking out the rest of the crowd and getting back to april's side, which is practically a cakewalk. ]
