Faclan He arrives now as in as of your post, so I guess if the opposition or allied forces saw his squad's pods, they can be aware of his presence with no questions from me. It's entirely plausible they did not arrive totally unnoticed.

As JC's pod slammed into the ground with the others, he hit the pod eject and the doors flew open, as the haze and dust from the impact filtering in and momentarily blinding him as he gathered his battle rifle and exited the pod, already heading to cover to see what is going on. He hears the sounds of a battle, and the distant explosion of a plasma grenade, he coordinates with the rest of his squad as they regroup, gather all their gear, and start moving slowly toward the factory, keeping in cover and advancing very carefully, the sniper watching their advance from the top of a tall structure hidden in darkness.

"Oh gross Jiralhanae guts!" Pad cheeped out as the dark red, nearly black, and blue blood and chunks of body spewed out of the troop door from the explosion. The female raising up her shield to stop a hand hitting her before blerging at it all over the storeroom now.

"Good, it means they are dead at least...must have been some of those real traitors who joined the Sangheili." Cad replied, a little bit of hesitation there for the chance that he may have just killed allies...but shook his head and tried to forget about that and went back to trying to get Kop out from his little box fort. "See if anyone is left in there."

The female soldier nodding and hopping over to the troop bay as she kept her shield in front of herself and peaked in the very foul smelling interior of the Phamtom.

Kop meanwhile was just trying to stay calm as Nas reached the door, but stayed there as she had her carbine out and held ready but not aimed as she watched her file work.

Results: Cad (Alert, freeing Kop), Pad (Alert, moving to inspect troop bay), Kop (Alert, still trapped), Nas (Alert, watching from the doorway)


@rixxan
(Well the fighting has stopped or moved away from the factory by now, that's why they aren't already alert or that awake.)

The Kig-Yar file continued their simple tasks of sleeping or watching or gaming as the ODST's approached. Unfortunate for them as the team could easily get the drop on them if they didn't reveal their presence too soon.

The factory grounds decently run down with a lot of cover for the team. The largest building with its hallway and connected storage room where the artifact was being kept. But a waste management facility on the premises, but likely wouldn't be needed now.

Results: Cad (Unalert, near artifact), Pad(Unalert, gaming), Kop (Asleep), Nas (Unalert, in main building catwalks).

The team approached the noises they heard, lights off and obscured in the darkness. As they approached, A quiet voice of their sniper alerted them that there were a group of Kig-Yar right on their path. The team sent back an acknowledgement via buzzers in the helmet, sending two short bleeps that were only audible inside the sniper's helmet. As they approached, they split up, each selecting a target and moving to as close as they could while still concealed, readying their weapons as the sniper trained his stadiametric sight on who appeared to be the leader, but keeping his rifle's laser scope off. JC moved toward Cad, Willow approached Pad, Charles waited ready by Kop, and the sniper covering them all, not covering Nas, who was inside. The squad hoped that the silenced weapons and knives they had were not enough to alert Nas to their presence.

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


A Kig-Yar had finally entered the downed Phantoms door, which was propped up in the air, so he decided to help him down, hard. He grabbed the Kig-Yar's leg as he entered and would try to make look like he slipped into the Phantom. He used the blade on the grip of his Mauler and tried to quietly stab the Jackal in the upper torso-neck area as many times as he could, trying to contain the urge to roar at his opponent. If he attempts to make a noise, Kotas will grab his beak and wrench it as he continues to stab him until he dies.

[SPARTAN-A120]

CPO Kenny-A120 - “Shadow 1”
UNSCN: ONI - Sierra III, Alpha Co.
Undisclosed, War-torn City
2059 hrs (8:59PM)
( Tag: Faclan )

"Demon of the Verm?" Kenny thought. "The hell does that mean?" he asked aloud.

The Kig-Yar Major didn't answer, but instead muttered something that Kenny's suit's microphone wasn't able to pick up and the Major went limp.

"Dead as fried chicken..." Kenny thought while the Kig-Yar's head fell forward into its own chest plate, rebounded which emitted a sound of a metal-to-metal impact, and led to its helmet falling off which rolled into Kenny's left foot. "Can't believe I actually killed the messenger. Who's going to spread the tale of the Green Devil now?" he thought again.

After that, he double tapped the Major with one round in the torso and one round into the head to make sure that the Kig-Yar was entirely dead and not just playing dead to lure Kenny within a close-quarters proximity and cause some damage before it died. It might have been honorable to never strike a downed opponent, but this was no hand-to-hand combat training. Either way, he would never let the match end unless his opponent was either knocked unconscious or until he was restrained by other Spartans or instructors.
Kenny switched on the safety of his M6C and holstered it. He then pulled the dead Kig-Yar forward just enough so that he could obtain the Carbine on its back. "Souvenir," he silently claimed for himself.

After arming himself with the alien weapon, he ran for the Asklon factory where his initial contact with the enemy took place. He wanted to make sure he wasn't going to leave without gathering some intel on enemy movements, plans, and strength. After all, ONI would have fun interrogating information out of anyone who is deemed necessary to "protect and secure humanity." His pace was fast, but not too fast to reserve his energy in case he encountered additional enemies. But that would be hours from now as one of the Kigs stated that their ride home would come by dawn. Unless that was a lie to keep Kenny on his feet. The Carbine bobbing side to side as he ran, he scanned the environment and remained vigilant. He was not going to be ambushed; not with the objective nearly complete and extraction enroute.

When he arrived at the factory, he used the entrance he used to escape and backtracked until he was at the broken catwalk. His HUD picked up the red outline of the Kig-Yar marksman he had taken out with a stomp earlier, but he saw no movement. He continued at a slow pace and ducked under the fallen catwalk while aiming at the dead Kig-Yar as a precaution. He continued aiming at the non-threatening target until he reached the entrance to the hallway where he reoriented himself to face where he was moving a found the first Kig-Yar he killed who was as dead as it can be. He gave the dead Kig-Yar a kick for good measures before he continued down the hall towards the door leading into the storage rooms. As he proceeded to the door, the wall on his left side was riddled with holes and the floor beneath him was littered with broken glass. Each step he took was like he was announcing his presence to everyone within a 50 meter radius. After twenty crunchy footsteps, the Spartan arrived at the door and tried the knob with his left hand.

The door opened, but it stopped a quarter-way before connecting with something solid on the other side. He tried his best to take a peek behind the door to find a fallen steel shelf which tilted against the door. He cursed under his breath and leaned the alien Carbine against the wall to his left before pushing with both hands against the door with his augmented strength. The sound of grinding metal filled his ears as he continued pushing with additional force. If Kenny had to estimate the weight of the shelf, it would probably be a good ton with all the crates mounted on it. If the sound of grinding metal couldn't wake up an unconscious Kig-Yar, he didn't know what will do the trick.

The door was halfway open, but he couldn't stop pushing or the shelf was just lean back into position and he would be back at square one with the door a quarter-way ajar. He felt like Atlas. If only he had worn his MJOLNIR on this operation, he would've been done in a near instant. This was the second time he regretted not wearing his MJOLNIR.
The door couldn't open fully so he had to improvise if he was going to get through. Planting his boots as best as he can, Kenny pushed with all his strength which caused the shelf to slide downwards angularly with the top of the shelf slamming nearly a foot from him. A cloud of gray dust filled his vision and his SPI armor's air filters activated to avoid venting it into his lungs. He stepped back to retrieved the alien Carbine before he entered the room. He stepped onto the side of the sideways shelf and hopped across y using the crates that were still held securely. When he reached the unconscious Kig-Yar, the Spartan noticed a few dents on the outermost crates that surrounded it. If he didn't shield the Kig-Yar from the trap, it would've surely died. He shifted the crates aside and dragged the alien and carried it over his left should in a fireman's carry. He traversed the fallen shelf once more and walked the rest of his way on of the factory.

The Chief Petty Officer could hear the faint sound of engines from a Black Cat Sub-Prowler approaching from his two o'clock.

[Faclan]

SPARTAN-A120

Not able to offer any kind of resistance on the fact of him being dead Cad collapsed forward when released after the carbine over his back was removed. Almost folded up at his waist before his muscles in his back prevented him from falling any further forward and he flopped over onto his side. The Majors crystal saber still on the ground if more trophies were desired by the Spartan.

Kop just gave a quiet muffled pheep as he was scooped up on plopped on those big strong Spartan shoulders. Barely any weight at all even without the full suit as the young Kig-Yars beaked bobbed along for the ride as the Spartan moved about. The extraction craft soon to arrive and with no more opposition besides the currently unconscious Pad it would be smooth sailing back to base.

All that was left to do would be to retrieve the 3'x3'x3' Forerunner artifact from the main factory floor. Thankfully uncrushed by the falling catwalk and if attempted to be moved the Spartan would find it increadibly light, even more than the Ruuthian over his shoulder. Those wacky forerunners and their space magic.

(Well done 120! Mission successful, you can do a final ending post if you would like or end it here but it was fun .)


( killakan - Can you edit or make a new post Killakan? It was a bit powerplay of you to just straight up kill Pad, not to mention you say she died over 'a few rooks' or a few minutes. A sliced open throat wouldn't last long. And you then make another move without letting me respond by throwing a firebomb at Nas. Just a bit godmoddy so an edit would be helpful.)

( @rixxan - the Kig-Yar file are inside two separate buildings with a hallway connecting them Rixx, Your squad would have to spread out a lot to cover the three that you mention. As Cad is in the main building near the Artifact (lets call it the left one based on the picture), Pad is in the hallway in between them (not in the picture but you get the idea), and Kop is in the right building. With Nas in the rafters above Cad. Its just hard for me to make a reply when I'm not sure were your people are.

[Deleted]

((Farclan understood I'll try and fix.
As the squad saw that where they thought the kig-yar were was wrong, they quickly regrouped to counter. Bishop, their sniper, stayed in place, tracking one of the kig-yar in the rafters of the larger building. The other three, JC, Willow and Charles, headed to the right building. They hoped they could clear the rooms surrounding the building and tag a few enemies before storming the main plant.
((Hope that helps, I apologize for the confusion

[killakan]

Thank you for telling me what was wrong and I edited my previous post accordingly, I am still a bit new to such an open system without die rolling and many definite rules.

[Faclan]

(Its fine both of you, thank you for the edits and clarifications - thats why we do side and non cannon RPs for fun and practice.)

killakan

Pad, who had been looking around at the blood soaked troop bay, still full of loads of mangled Jiralhanae body parts, for any survivors glances down when she saw movement. Only had time for a quiet pheep before she was yanked down into the troop bay. Shield flailing over her head to clank against the troops bays floor before the blade slashed across her throat. The female only able to make tiny wheezes before quickly dying from the wound. Her file however had seen her go in way to quickly with a pheep and a clank.

Cad had finally freed Kop and pulled him out and both got ready watching the troop bay with shield active and Needler and Plasma pistol primed and ready for defense. Nas also moving to some cover and not out in the open as she watched it with Carbine ready. But no other grenade yet as they weren't sure Pad was dead.

"Pad, sound off!" Cad would cheep out as they waited.

Results: Cad (Combat ready, outside Phantom), Pad (Dead, slashed throat), Kop (Combat ready, outside Phantom), Nas (Combat ready, outside Phantom behind cover)


@rixxan

That's to careful movement and distracted space chickens the ODST's still remained hidden from them as they regrouped and moved to a different area to assault first. The sniper having a clear shot at Cad on the ground floor but unless he was right up against the windows or on top of the main factory he would not be able to get an angle on Nas. The Major and the Artifact were easy to see and keep an eye on now which sure was good.

The female Ruuthian in the hallway didn't even look up as the ODST advanced about her position, just doing a little cheep and air raise as she got the new high score. The ODST's slipping past her and to right outside the storage room.

The storage room windows would show a sleeping Kop sprawled over some wood pallets snoozing away like a little baby birdy. The doors would be unlocked to enter the storage room. As all the doors were since it was an old rundown factory. And the door from the hallway to the storage room would thankfully be closed too. So Nas would be unable to hear or see anything happen to the sleeping Kop.

Results: Cad (Unalert, near artifact), Pad (Unalert, gaming in hallway), Kop (Asleep), Nas (Unalert, in main building catwalks).

[Deleted]

Bishop radioed in. "I have a clear shot at one of them" as he angled his rifle down at Cad, as Boomer angled his knife behind Pad, the rest of the squad surveying the surrounding areas. Bishop waited for the order, which was swiftly given by Willow. Bishop fired once, his scope on the head of Cad, as he quickly reloaded as the shot rang out, sending a second right to where Cad's chest was at that moment. After letting those two shots ring out, he quickly moved his location in case the sound alerted the survivors or drew return fire. As the first shot rang out, Boomer stabbed at Pad, then attempted to tackle the target as he tried to go for a silent kill, attempting to smother any noise.

[killakan]

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


The jackal was dead, that was certain. So Kotas peeked over the edge of the door to the Phantom and saw at least one more Kig-Yar. Wanting this one to suffer he took note of where she was and threw a incendiary bomb in her general area, hoping to hit something alive before leaping out of the phantom with a well toned and well trained musculature, hammer drawn, and screaming "VENGEANCE FOR MY BROTHERS, YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS AFFRONT TO THEIR HONOR!!"

[Faclan]

@rixxan

(Pad was inside the hallway in between the two buildings, so to get into knifing range they would need to get inside the building, which I assumed for my post.)

Having been taking some time to fully examine the Artficact, walking around it with a hand on the end of his beak, Cads screech of pain was the first warning of danger as the window shattered and a round dug into his back. His thicker armor saving him from immediate fatal damage but he was clearly not in a good way as he thankfully activated his shield and curled up under it to deflect the second round that would have killed him. Cad trying to get his Needler out as the rest of his file moved to assist.

Pad, who looked up at the screaming and shattering glass, just had time to see the ODST quickly approaching her with knife out. The female cheeping in shock and dropping her PP as the strike was made the Ruuthian was just able to move back enough to avoid the strike. Bumping against the desk behind her as the Human moved in and grabbed her. The female not able to get her own knife out as she was dragged to the floor. Pad moving up her arm to try and stop the blade from coming down toward her head and neck as she tried to curl up her feet to shove the Human off her as her claws went toward the ODST's neck.

Kop meanwhile was startled awake from the screaming and staggered to his feet with his pistol out. Activating his shield and trying to make it to the storage room door to enter the hallway and see what was happening.

Nas meanwhile just stayed in the rafters, carbine now out as she looked for a target to shoot to protect Cad and the Artfiact.

Results: Cad (Injured, trying to protect self), Pad (Knifefight), Kop (Trying to move to assist), Nas (Alert, watching for hostiles).


killakan

The glowing object thrown out of the PHantom made all the Kigs squawk in surrpise as Nas was thankfully able to leap backwards out of the door to avoid being immolated. But now the doorway was just a ball of fire. The Marksman quickly moving to the hallway door and opening it as she tried to go around to get a view through one of the windows.

"Fire! Fire! Kill it!" Cad would screech when the Sangheili revealed itself with hammer raised and shouting about affonts and their most loved honor. Had he more time to think Cad would think it was stupid for the Sangheili to claim that as they haddn't caused the Phantom to crash, and if he meant blowing up their bodies then he needed to get off his high horse. But that was impossible.

Both Cad and Kop firing at the Sangheili with Needler and Plasma Pistol. The pistol fire a bit inaccurate as the younger Kig-Yar looked pretty scared. Both of them crouched behind their shields.

Results: Cad (Alert, determined, firing), Pad (Dead), Kop (Alert, scared, Firing), Nas (Alert, cut off from the storage room, trying to go around).

[Deleted]

Knowing their presence was known, they ditched any pretense of stealth. The rifles came out, and Bishop began running through the foliage to join the fight, his sidearm drawn. He stopped momentarily to fire another shot at one of the kig-yar, any of them who were outside. Setting up again, he waited for a shot.
Boomer grunted as he was kicked in the face, knife flailing and hoping he scored a hit before being shoved back a foot or two into a desk, where he lay dazed for a few seconds. Willow ditched stealth, pulling out her rifle and firing toward Pad with her rifle, as JC moved to attack as well with his rifle in a cross fire pattern to cover the most area. They knew their presence was known, so they did all they could to kill the target.

[killakan]

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


The Kig-Yar ahead had reacted as he expected to the terror weapon the Jiralhanae produce, there was two in front of him, one firing inaccurately with a plasma pistol, but he was not the major threat here. That come from the Kig-Yar with the Needler, because once his shields go down, and they were going at a decent pace, those needles would end up exploding and destroying him. This one need to go first. Kotas charged, pushing the plasma pistol wielder out of the way, and swung his hammer, hitting the activation rune as he swung so that if he missed, however unlikely due to his melee training, the shockwave would surely cause some damage.

[Faclan]

@rixxan

Managing to drag himself to be sitting against the Artfict, defacing it be damned as his back would slowly bleed over the small relic, Cad did his best to conceal himself entirely behind his shield as he held his Needler lightly - grip very weakened by his inuries, as he tried to keep awake for when enemies revealed themsevles.

Pad meanwhile only had a moment to celebrate her victory of shoving the large ODST off of her before one of its teamates moved up to fire at her. The female just having time to set a hand on her knife before she was shot in the head - very hard to miss at contact range. The Ruuthian's head snapping backwards to slam into the floor and she just went limp, knife half out of its sheath.

Kop, who had exited the storage room door to see two Black Humans right in front of him and a clearly dead Pad just epped in fear before dropping his pistol and then collapsing to the floor - shouting to 'don't shoot!' in the Kiggy language as he even deactivated his shield and put his hands behind his back near his waist.

Nas, who had told Cad to hold on as best he could down there, continued to wait with her sights set on the hallway entrance. Ready to lay down some lethal higher ground fire.

Results: Cad (Injured, holding by the Artifact), Pad (Dead), Kop (Trying to give up), Nas (Lying in wait).


killakan

Squeaking out in fear as the Sangheili grabbed the top of his shield and bodily shoved him aside Kop had to wonder why it wasn't dead yet! So many needles had impacted it! It was such a shame the youngster didn't know that the shield was only a shot or two more from failing as he was to stunned from the toss and the still attacking Sangheili, plus the loud crash of the hammer, to fire anymore as he slid for a bit before bumping against a box.

Knowing full well that the hammer would shatter through his shield and flatten him to the ground, even without the gravity generators turned on. Cad knew he had to try and move, and unfortunatly for him the only way to go was toward the door, where the fire still raged. But flight took over his mind before he could fully think that the fire would be bad. And his little jump turned into a launch from the impact of the emitters as Cad was thrown bodily into the burning doorway. Crashing against the door frame and falling right intot he gooey liquid. Screaming loudly at it all as he was being cooked alive.

Nas, who had managed to round the corner when the loud boom sounded out. Letting her known that the hammer had slammed down. Smashing out the nearest window she reached and staring to fire at the Sangheili's left flank to try and save whoever was still alive in there. And if no-one was left then it would be to avenge them.

Results: Cad (Burning alive), Pad (Dead), Kop (Stunned), Nas (Firing from a window).

[Deleted]

Bishop, the sniper, slowly came to the building, looking for a ladder to set up on higher ground. He looked at the roof of the small building, but decided it was to exposed for his liking.
Willow had just turned around when Kop burst in, and quickly acted. She knew little Kiggy language, but knew enough to understand the sign of surrender and terror as she ordered JC. JC smirked a little under his helmet, surprised at how easily this one had given up. JC put his gun to the head of the figure, his knee in the small of their prisoner's back as Boomer secured the weapon. Willow then attempted to handcuff the creature, but was hesitant for just a moment. Their orders said nothing about prisoners, neither to avoid or to take. Boomer, the weapon now secure, lay in wait by the doorway lest anyone else try and join them.

[killakan]

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


After dealing with the Needler armed opponent, Kotas lost the rest of his shielding in a volley of carbine fire. Noting this, he thought quickly and grabbed the stunned Kop and flung himself behind some sturdy looking boxes. After disarming his prisoner of his plasma pistol, he called out to his opponent "Surrender yourself, and you may live, don't and he dies, slowly, after breaking each individual bone in his body, and then you will suffer the same fate!" He turns to Kop and wispers to him "You better get you compatriot to stand down, if you don't, well you heard me..."

[Faclan]

@rixxan

As nothing was in their visions to be fired at with Needler or Carbine Cad and Nas remained in their positions. Nas still hidden in the rafters waiting for a target as the business in the hallway continued.

Kop, who could only see the boots by his face every now and then was just breathing pretty unsteadily in fear as a barrel was pressed against his head and weight kept him firmly on the ground. The only movement being the Kig-Yar shaking in fear as he closed his eyes and just hoped he wouldn't be horribly tortured.

Results: Cad (Injured, shielded, by artifact), Pad (Dead), Kop (On the ground, terrified), Nas (Concealed and waiting for targets).


killakan

Kop, who barely had time to register the staticy effect of the shield falling before he acked and was shoved behind some boxes. Before the Sangheili was right on top of him. Effortlessly pulling the pistol from his shaking hands and holding him very prone. Cads screamins having stopped as he had managed to half crawl out of the inferno before perishing. Smelling very delicious to the Kig-Yar to be sure but food was on the menu right now. The younger Kig-Yar just whimpering quietly as he cowered under the much taller alien, calling out to Nas when demanded he comply.

"N..Nas! Do it!"

Nas however wasn't so convinced considering the Sangheili had killed two of the file and was now only making the demand for surrender after his shields had fallen. Like a coward! So the female quickly hopped into the window and then tried to leap on top of one of the nearby boxes to get an angle to shoot down on the Sangheili. Trying to do so as quick as she could before his shield had a chance to recharge and save him from death.

Results: Cad (Burned alive, dead), Pad (Cut throat, dead), Kop (Cowering under the Jelly), Nas (Trying to make the Jelly dead!).

[Deleted]

As Kop was secured, he was sat down against a wall and secured to a pipe, as Willow and Boomer stood watch at the door. JC Sat down across from him. "I'm Private Torngate. We have no wish to harm you further, so please don't resist. Give us the information you know and we're authorized to let you and whoever you have left with you go. Who are you, how many more are there here, and where is the object?" He spoke with a calm, level tone, trying to make the entity in front of him give up and avoid any further pain.
Bishop still was stalking around, trying to find roof access that provided some cover, before deciding on going up the southeast corner of the tallest building.

[killakan]

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


Kotas heard no offer of surrender, and as his shields recharged he began whispering to Kop "Look kid, I don't want to hurt you, I want to give you a job. You see, I have some new job openings, a command position. Now I know what your thinking" He picks him up after restraining him with, what did the humans call it? Ah, yes duct tape. Leaving his beak untouched he moved to a covered position inside the crashed Phantom with speed and grace. He began Whispering again, "'Why should I, a respected member of the Covenant, join my captor in battle against it?' Well kid, what is the alternative? If it makes you feel better, I ain't a separatist, they didn't want me fighting for them and tried to kill me due to my ties to the Jiralhanae. So I took up something dishonorable, piracy, and was pretty good at it too, not caring that it was dishonorable, as my own species disowned me and the Covenant, well, they thought me a rebel and also shot at me. So again, I offer you a job, one that attracts many females of your race, if I'm not mistaken, as a pirate leader. You can take what you want, meet all the women you want, fight as you please, AND you get free room and board, start screaming in agony, but I won't hurt you, so that it looks like I made good on my promise, or I'll actually make good on my promise." and then grips Kop's finger, "Starting here."

[Faclan]

@rixxan

Keeping his eyes closed as he was hoisted up and dragged somewhere Kop just hoped to Aecor that he wasn't about to be killed. It was the Black Humans so there was a high probility of that but he could always hope. That was until he was set against something firmly and then his restraits secured to the pipe. Kop, who didn't know a lick of English besides the swears he had heard occasionally shouted at him and his comrades - not that he would know they were swears, just stared at the Humans. He was clearly being spoken to since the helmet was facing him and noises were coming out of it. But all completely unintelligible. The Ruuthian just shrinking away against the pipe he was tied too and shaking his beak a little as he squeaked out 'I don't understand, please don't kill me!' in the Kig language.

Nas slowly perked up when she heard movement against the wall next to her and the quiet tik tuk tik tuk of somthing climbing a ladder. One of the black Humans was trying to be sneaky! Whispering to Cad that one was trying to get on the room the female crawled backwards so she wasn't under a skylight and sat with her back against the wall in the catwalks. Looking down still but now able to see the skylight she used to be under. Waiting in the shadows.

Results: Cad (Beside Artifact), Pad (Dead), Kop, (Cowering), Nas (Hiding in darkness).


killakan

Had he been thinking a bit more clearly besides being frozen in terror Kop would have tried to ask where the Sangheili had gotten any of the Human all purpose sticky wrap they they loved to use on everything as his hands were roped up. But the youngsters face was mostly just confusion as the 'noble' Sangheili talked about piracy and how he had a space for him. Kops head tilting to the side as he was scooped up and carried into the crashed transport. The Sangheili returning to his pirate speech as the charred smell of Cad still filled the air. In all honestly Kop was just really confused now as the Sangheili had shouted for all their blood earlier and burned Cad alive and now was offering him a job? Just very odd. But then he was told to scream or he would get his finger broken!? Too much at once!

Not finding a Sangheili where she was expecting to find it and nearing movement in the crashed Phantom Nas shifted her Carbine to her right hand as she pulled out her plasma pistol with her left. Charging up the shield overloading ball of pain before grring and hopping up on the lip of the Phamtom again, intending to fire on that jelly when she saw it before unloading with her carbine.

Results: Cad (Dead), Pad (Dead), Kop, (Frozen), Nas (Charged plasma pistoling).

[killakan]

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


"You will decide whether or not to join me by the count of ten or die slowly. One. Two Thr-" The Sangheili started counting when he heard the familiar sound of a plasma pistol, "Hold that thought, and calm down," he places a gag in Kop's mouth and tapes him to a not totally dismembered Jirilhanae to prevent him from escaping. The smell of death pervading the whole chamber as Kotas steps into the ruined cockpit out of sight of Kop but with an entire view of the troop bay, and activates his active camo, which he stole from a spec-ops Sangheili rebel naught but a week ago and waited for Kop's rescuer to appear, getting into a low tackling stance. When Nas does eventually enter, he notices the hand in which the plasma pistol is held. He then goes to tackle the poor Kig-Yar, going for the plasma pistol first, then attempting to stun her by throwing her hard to the floor and falling on top of her face-down body.

[Deleted]

JC sighed as he discovered that the creature didn't speak basic English. He tried to spout off in broken Kig "Don't resist and we'll let you go later" as best he could. He couldn't get the exact tense right on some words, but his message, he hoped, got across. The two at the door remained at the door, watching and waiting.

Bishop was slinking across the roof, remaining hidden as best he could. He had a sinking suspicion that he was spotted, and so he moved very, very cautiously. He stole toward a spire on the northeast corner, always ready to roll out of the way if he came under fire.

((OOC Well he's kinda screwed... I'm excited to see how he dies let's hope three vs two is enough when he bites the needler.))

[Faclan]

@rixxan

The youngster Ruuthian just stared blankly at the helmet of JC as it tried to cheep and pheep to him. It was all complete gibberish being filtered through the helmet. After silence settled on the scene for a few seconds Kop just nodded and then went quiet as he looked down at the floor...just wishing it was all over.

Nas, meanwhile, hissed quietly to herself as she saw Cad start to droop as he sat against the Artifact, the bloodloss was clearly getting to him and she just hoped that he wouldn't perish right there. But she was soon distracted by footsteps against the roof above her. The female immediately looking as she soon identified where they were coming from. Nas getting up her position and slowly moving down the catwalk as she was on as she could tell it was heading for the skylight. The steps soon revealing itself to be one of the Black Humans! Nas quickly taking aim at its helmet, low on it to try and punch upward through it where it was the least armored to kill!

Results: Cad (Beside Artifact, flagging), Pad (Dead), Kop (Sitting quietly), Nas (Bang! Firing at Bishop from below).

Kop just hurked quietly when he was gagged, thinking where the Sanghili managed to get that tape as he wriggled unhappily at being secured to a dead Jiralhanae but otherwise did as he was told to and calmed down. Listening to the fate of Nas as he just thought about how badly he had screwed up this time.

Nas, who's cry of triumph when she arrived on the troop bay slowly faded into a huh? when she found nothing. No Jelly at all. Just the very dead form of Pad with her throat cut open. But a shifting and movement to her side made her hiss again and try to fire in time. But the shot went wide and ended up hitting Pad on the head. Boiling away a good part of her skull as Nas opphed and then squawked in pain when she was thrown and then pinned. The female barely able to move a muscle and pretty thoroughly screwed.

Results: Cad (Dead), Pad (Dead), Kop (Grossed out), Nas (Pinned).

((OOC: Yay! First death I get to narrate!))
The shot hit Bishop square in the facemask, hitting him and penetrating his mask, as the mask shattered inward, fragments penetrating his skin and face, lodging themselves in his brain. His vision went black as he died and fell down through the skylight, barely getting off a scream of pain in the comms before his throat was cut by the mask fragments and he hit the floor below, his bones breaking, especially his back, and blood flowed forth from his neck and spread out slowly from his impact. Nas's attack was more than successful, but it wasn't quite a silent killing.

Hearing the scream through the comms and the subsequent thump of an impact, Willow immediately tried contacting Bishop.
"Bishop? Bishop! Come in!!" After about seven minutes she gave up. "Son of a..." She started, her rage flaring. She drew her sidearm and fired point-blank at their prisoners head, no warning and no chance for him to defend himself. An honorless, unfair, and anger-induced killing. "You take one of ours, we take all of yours. See you in hell, Scum"

JC was standing, wide eyed as he realized what had happened when the bullet rushed past him and toward the Kig-Yar. Boomer was by the door, standing alert, gun at the ready and anger being controlled by discipline. It was the first time any of them had lost a comrade in their squad that they had grown up with, except Willow. They checked what they knew. They knew there was at least one, likely more hostiles left, and three of them.

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


"And now I have two prisoners," Kotas announces to no one in particular as he begins binding the Kig-Yar female with the last of his Duct Tape, possibly the best human invention ever, and removed Kop from the dead corpse and his gag. He sat himself on the artifact in the next room after better securing the two Kig-Yar with proper restraints as well as the Duct Tape already applied and attached them to chairs, which he then attached to pillars with the Duct Tape on the arms of his "new recruits".

"Now you may ask why I haven't I killed you yet? The answer is that my thirst for blood was sated with the death of your second comrade. You, on the other hand, have a choice. You can be given a position of power aboard my ship, or you can be enslaved. I like that you fought me, however futile it was," he then takes off his crested purple and white helm revealing a white as fresh fallen snow face riddled with ritual scars, "And by doing so I offer a promotion both sideways and upward, as a pirate, and a leader of pirates at that. Think about it, you, a Minor of the Covenant given the power of your own lance of a greater species, a Kig-Yar in command of Sangheili or Jiralhanae. We already have this in place, as I try to be an equal opportunity employer. We got Human rebels, we got Sangheili outcasts like me, we got Jiralhanae warlords wanting a fight with few rules, we got Unggoy and Kig-Yar in better conditions than either side of the war will ever have, you know what we all have in common?" He ends his rant to get a response from his prisoners.

Nodding in satisfaction as the Black Human toppled backwards and crashed through the skylight and down to the floor the female marksman was glad that the body didn't land on her catwalk or Cad. But a quiet pheep and a gunshot let her and Cad know that if any of their file still survived they were dead now. Cad barely still awake as he tried to grip his Needler tighter.

Kop only had time to widen his eyes and start to squeak out no before the round was fired. A rather large hole blown into his head as he toppled sideways very dead.

Cad meanwhile was slightly reinvigorated by the gunshot but blac was still starting to seep into his vision from the blood loss. The Major doing everything he could to keep breathing and stay awake. But most of the resonsibility was now in Nas's hands and rifle.

Results: Cad (Barely awake), Pad (Dead), Kop (Dead), Nas (Waiting)

Hissing and opphing as they were both moved around until they finally ended up taped to some chairs. The Sangheili seemingly gloating over his artifact as he deliver his offer of employment to both of them. Despite not saying it both were fairly sure that saying no meant death. And even if he just left them here they would be killed by the Sangheili back at base for losing the artifact. So it was a pretty simple decision as they both looked at each and then nodded.

"We'll do it, death awaits us any way we sail besides going with you." Nas said, Kop adding that, "Very kind of you of course sir to offer us the chance to serve you!"

Results: Cad (Dead), Pad (Dead), Kop (Accepting), Nas (Accepting)

JC had his reservations about the killing, but kept his mouth shut. He wasn't about to defend a creature who's compatriots just killed one of his friends.

As the body hit the floor, the squad regrouped and moved out, heading around to a side entrance of the factory, mainly obscured by boxes. They were relatively protected, but it was difficult for them to get a fix on anyone there. Boomer prepared a flash grenade, and packed it with enough power to blind an unprotected set of eyes for quite a while, if not Perminanely. Willow stuck her head out once, just for five seconds as JC prepared his weapon. Willow sighted their objective, an unusual lump by it -could it be an entity?- and a catwalk... One of the only places to be able to take out bishop that quickly.

Then she sighted Bishop. She made a mental note to recover his body today.
The squad was ready, as Boomer hurled the Grenade and it went off. Willow and JC went first, firing at the lump by the target, and their friend or for system pinning the approximate location of the alien on the catwalk. Boomer fired toward there. All three of them were heading to cover as they fired, in case their first volley was uneffective.

They hoped they had caught all of them, and caught them off their guard, but they didn't know yet.

Sangheili Ultra Kotas 'Vadumai


"Then welcome to the Outcasts," Kotas announces as he frees the pair of Kig-Yar from their bonds with the blade of his Mauler. "Now once I get you settled in our group and I get myself a replacement lance, you two lovebirds are going to have yourselves a raiding party, your first assignment is to find some more Duct Tape for the crew, we're running low. If you need it, we do have access to the human black market as well as other Kig-Yar pirate groups," he then smirks, "But you two are going to have to share a room, not that you two lovebirds are going to mind." He picks up the Artifact and directs his new friends to a meeting point where they can be picked up.




(OOG: That was fun, do you want to continue this in a separate RP?)

(Well done killakan, I'll add you to the successful players and we can talk in PM's about another thread.)

As there was a helmet with a bright visor poking through a doorway and after hearing and seeing them move around outside Nas had plenty of time to crawl into a better position to sight in on the door way through would enter through. And since it was the black Humans she assumed they would lead with their flash grenades. Which they did. Nas shielding her eyes with her arm and trying to cover her ears at it went off. And then picking up her rifle as quick as she could.

Since she wasn't moving anymore the motion tracker wouldn't show her position and the flurry of fire missed. The female taking aim at the ODST's she could see from her elevated position as they fired on Cad.

Cad, who thankfully was still awake was just pressed back harder into the artifact as the rounds impacting his shields. Growling and hissing weakly as he fired a short burst of homing Needler fire toward the Black Humans, but he wasn't the biggest threat anymore.

With the Humans hopefully distracted by the Needles heading their war Nas took aim at Willow and tried to dome her as well from over the cover.

Results: Cad (Firing), Pad (Dead), Kop (Dead), Nas (Firing)
