Dwan thanks Lion profusely and puts his Howitzer back on.
"Better give it a rest for a little, don't want to use it immediately.", Dwan thought to himself. Already set to fire mode, he opts to use the Texas Ranger a bit longer before switching to the flames.
He assists Lion in firing at the screechers with the shotgun.
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47504924]Lion looked at Perra. He smiled just as his eyes turned red. "Complete elimination." He brought out his small arsenal of rapid-striking weaponry before vaulting over the cover.
He aimed at five nearby screechers and started firing off two bursts leading inwards using his micro-SMG's.[/QUOTE]
Perra smiled back and wondered about the unit. "Fuck, I like you man." She followed the robot and took position, firing as she noticed the set of skills he had.
Mini-Roll[8]: Aiming at five screechers he pulled the triggers using his set of micro smgs. Firing away as the recoil wasn't a matter in his body. Each bullet teared bugs apart like some minigun. By the time his guns needed to cool off the nearby bugs became gushed yellows bits of waste.
[QUOTE=Damian0358;47504925]He opts to use the Texas Ranger a bit longer before switching to the flames. [/QUOTE]
Mini-Roll Critical Success![highlight][9][/highlight] Dwan's decision to use his Texas Ranger came in handy when he picked off a few bugs attacking Perra's men including Bubal to ensure they won't harmed. Bubal turned and ran fast to cover before Screecher Queen got him by her sights.
Bubal grimaced towards his fallen comrade. "Comrade brave for human. I wish it could have been different fate."
Varn was in a trance, the bugs kept coming, but he kept blowing them away. The chemicals in his blood must have taken over. At this point time had sown down for him as the battle raged on. Then the ground shook. The screechers stopped and stood in one place. The Queen had arrived. "Yeah, this is not good" he quickly got out of the way and back behind some cover. He yelled at Arthur.
"Doc, try and get to safety along with Iska. We need you alive." He also saw two of Perra's men near them "You two, help them and I might throw some money your way or my boot up your ass if you don't." He just noticed Lion was with him behind cover, helping Dwan, when Perra got to them.
"Got any plans big fellas?"
"Yeah, remember those mercs with the retarded bones on their armor? The Cabellas. Can you call them to come here, they like big stuff like this. If not we proceed as planed. We kill the bitch!"
Varn got up and threw another incendiary at the screechers and took a few potshots at the queen.
After Jeremy saw the queen he loaded up his gun with the Vials he had been saving.
He then aimed at the queen and shot at it.
Since this was a different type of Ammo and the gun didn't support it, Jeremy had to make a work around, which works but comes with set backs, such as stronger recoil.

"Don't really have them on my contact list sorry. But I think your plan about killing that bitch is my preferred plan of attack tho." Perra said.
Mini-Roll[5]: Varn threw one of his incendiary grenades, proceeding to cover the screechers in flames as they scream in agony. This pissed off the Screecher Queen to no end and proceeded to move towards Varn's cover.

Mini Roll Critical Success[highlight][9][/highlight]: As the Screecher Queen crawled towards the Boome Marine, Jeremy used his weapon containing wildfire as a desperate measure. The vial made it through the Queen, unleashing a shit load of pain. The queen shook and roared throughout the cave. She insisted that she would retreat and rest due to the wildfire thrown at her.
Dwan, seeing Jeremy use wildfire, caused him to get an idea.
He takes off his Howitzer and opened it up. He remembered he had a few mortar rounds that could be opened. He takes one and fills it with wildfire. He mixes it with the explosive mixture already inside and closes it up. He switches to mortar mode and he loads the wildfire mortar round.
"Fire in the hole!", he yelled out, firing the mortar at the Queen.
"Oh no, your not getting away that easy." Varn took off his grenade sack he took one out to keep just in case and screamed at the retreating queen "Hey queen bitch, catch!" He took the pin out of one of the grenades and threw the sack at the queen.
[I'm gonna be away for a few hours. Don't know when Ill get back but feel free to use Varn as a squad mate to order around]
[QUOTE=Damian0358;47505144]
"Fire in the hole!", he yelled out, firing the mortar at the Queen.[/QUOTE]
Mini-Roll[8] Dwan's genius plan proved efficient as he made some improvisation on the way during combat. He loads up the mortar round and doesn't hesitate to fire at the queen. The plan ultimately worked as the Queen yelled in pain another time, blasting her body in spares.
[QUOTE=kilerabv;47505184]"Oh no, your not getting away that easy." Varn took off his grenade sack he took one out to keep just in case and screamed at the retreating queen "Hey queen bitch, catch!" [/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[5]: Varn threw out his entire grenade sack except one for spare towards the Screecher Queen, he abruptly missed, exploding in a fiery of flames as it harmed no bugs at all. Needless to say he was disappointed.
[quote] The screecher Queen took off the hand gloves and decided to wage war against the crews. She stomped on the ground, suddenly having a dozen screechers coming from the grounds as she choked on something. A few seconds it was caustic spit, vomiting it out like some continuous beam towards cover. It appeared to be a thousands times stronger than regular spit.[/quote]
Lion made a quick dash into their, cloaking, before uncloaking a few seconds later behind the queen.
He readied his vial of wildfire and rushed up on the back just as the queen started gurgling spit in her mouth.
As he ran, he poured the vials contents into a concussion grenade that he then threw into the maw of the queen.
((I have been asleep for 20 hours straight IRL))
Just as the fight was beginning, Yanim had planned to throw an incendiary grenade at whatever targets Iska and Varn lit up, but in the opening seconds, several screechers were outright exploded by the force of the crew's stylish attacks. Only Iska had yet to fire, so Yanim readied herself to assist her. Suddenly, there was an intense flash of light as the LMG unleashed its entire load of plasma as a beam. The brightness was so intense that the transition lenses of Yanim's facemask (intended to prevent snow blindness) darkened in response, temporarily blinding her.
After hearing the splatter of the elder screecher in the distance, the disoriented kanad lowered her arm and put the grenade back. "Hyushya-" She muttered. "[Well then!]"
When her lenses brightened after almost ten seconds, she found herself largely face-to-face with the encroaching hoard of bugs. Panicking, she scrambled backwards across the floor of the cavern as one-by-one the bugs were picked off by her fellow crewmembers. She was splattered by the blood and guts in the process, leaving her humiliated and smelling of bug carcass.
However, this gave her a new idea. As the cavern continued to rage with combat with the arrival of the queen, in all its terrifying might, Yanim realized that she would be harder to detect in her defiled state. She hastily climbed up the wall and shimmied toward the advancing monster until she found an unoccupied crevice up high in the rock and hid, just as the space outside became flooded with corrosive spit.
Roll to hide.
((I severely hope that I will get a chance to attack the queen before it's killed.))

Mini-Roll[2] The concussion grenade was intended to be placed but just as things have gone well the queen noticed Lion and shook him off her like some bull but only a ten times worse. The concussion grenade was left on the ground, unarmed. Perhaps some lucky shot back in the Hangar bay incident could be used again.
[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;47505648]However, this gave her a new idea.

Mini-Roll[7] Yanim being the smart one has decided that's its rather prefable to survive rather than being in the mist of the Queen's dangerous spit. She hid up high in the rock and was unseen. This was a great elevation advantage, she could see anyone that's fighting. She had to think up something fast before she could get caught.
As Lion hit the ground he saw the grenade a few meters from him, it was almost directly below the Queen. Before he was able to make a move on it, a screecher attacked him.
"Someone! There's a undetonated wildfire grenade underneath the queen! Shoot it!" He yelled into the comms before slashing the screecher almost ontop of him.
Yanim had two opportunities to attack from her current position. The first was Yanim's original plan, while the second involved Lion's undetonated grenade. It had landed just short of the queen's massive jaws. She decided to do both, simultaneously for the best chance of success.
First, she pulled out her spare plasma cartridge. It being a human design meant it would be fairly stable unless damaged. She strapped it using a zip tie to the incendiary grenade she was still carrying, along with two vials of wildfire which she had been saving throughout the entire fight. She pulled the pin on the grenade and hurled it over the queen's head, aiming for the giant insect's back.
Without hesitation, she then aimed for Lion's concussion grenade and unloaded with the Type-1.
Varn wasn't happy about the result, but he didn't have time to get angry since the the queen started spiting acid everywhere. He ducked behind cover and hoped he didn't get hit badly.

Mini-Roll[3]: Yanim unloaded her Type-1 onto Lion's wildfire filled concussion grenade, despite her efforts her cartridge with a grenade missed outside the Queen's mouth and Yanim noticed she has been spotted by Screechers.

Mini-Roll Critical Failure[highlight][1][/highlight]: What seemed like a good day for Varn shattered just when Screecher Queen's caustic spit took place in his cover spot. The effect of acid ate the rocky cover up like cottage cheese he noticed his personal armor got some spit and started to see the effects. Things were not going well for the crews.
Arthur complied with Varn's request to an extent, grabbing the unconscious Khergian and pulling her to a safe spot in the cave. However, the scientist himself rushed back into combat, to provide support against the Screecher queen.
"I wouldn't miss this fight for the world! I [I]want[/I] my part in killing this bitch!" Arthur yelled, before running to the central point of the fighting and shouting at everyone else.
"Alright! We have her in our sights, we cannot let her retreat and regroup with her children! For those who still have their wildfire vials, I would recommend a volley on her with your crossbows!" Arthur said, as he switched his gun to Wildfire capacity and shot it in the direction of the Screechers that had spotted Yanim.
Lion noticed Arthur shooting at the screechers. "Arthur! If you can charge the Pathogen Guns' nanites with Wildifre you could try and take her out from the inside!" Said Lion before engaging some screechers.
He began firing off his micro-SMG's before switching to his blades in an instant, charging towards a pair of screechers.
"Gah, shit." Varn yelled."I just had this thing fixed." He observed the damage to his armor. Luckily the shield had absorbed some of the corrosive damage but it wasn't enough. The layer of padding on his right arm had corroded away leaving just enough armor on his arm to cover it, but not offer any real protection. It would take some time before the shield could recharge, but there was no time. The queen was on the move and Yanim was in trouble. He threw his remaining grenade at the Queen and shot at the screechers approaching Yanim
"Oho, I intend to do just that once I've finished with the creatures attacking Yanim, trust me!"
[QUOTE=Pezgod1;47506024]Arthur said, as he switched his gun to Wildfire capacity and shot it in the direction of the Screechers that had spotted Yanim.[/QUOTE]
Mini-Roll Critical Success[highlight][9][/highlight]: Arthur, having to deal with a shit ton of bugs along with the Screecher Queen acted quick to see Yanim in dangar. He couldn't resist seeing her in trouble and being the gentleman he was acted by shooting his pathogen gun. He successfully pulls it off as he liquidized the damn things, killing the damn things.
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47506104]He began firing off his micro-SMG's before switching to his blades in an instant, charging towards a pair of screechers.[/QUOTE]
Mini Roll[4]: Lion fired his smgs before switching to his blades as he marched down there and took some slicing matters at hand as he noticed more and more came in. Lion handled more than he could chew out and retreated to safe cover.

Mini Roll Critical Success![highlight][9][/highlight]: [quote]The final straw broke the camel's back, the personal vendetta between life and death was on. Varn had to make his last move, the amount of screechers increased to the point of an army breaking their spine. Live or die. Varn proceeded to act like a man and wished to finish the job himself. Varn used his last remaining grenade and saw the weak spot inside the Queen's mouth. That weak spot was the concussion grenade Lion had until he dropped it.
Perra turned her head as she blindfired a couple of screechers seeing Varn holding a grenade. "Motherfucker just chute that thing in her damn mouth already!" She yelled. With no time to waste the Boome Marine threw his last grenade far from his position and just in time placed it into the Queen's mouth as she choked on her own spit preparing to vomit. The planted grenade sat next to the concussion grenade, chaos would ensue.
The activated grenade erupted, causing a chain reaction with the concussion grenade. Combine the Queen's caustic acid along with wildfire containing combusted her insides. The Queen screamed in agony as the overwhelming wildfire basically boiled her alive. Eventually the Queen was dazed, succumbing to an extreme amount of pain as she crashed to the ground. The remaining screechers screeched in fears towards the crews and retreated. Losing the morale as their queen died.
[b]Varn killed the Screecher Queen![/b]

Snip
Lion was at a loss of words, he tunred around and looked at Varn. He started laughing like a maniac as he appraoched him. "If you ever need a really big gun or help in general, I'm your man Varn."
Lion then procceeded to check in on Iska, trying to wake her up. "Hey Iska, it's over. We won."
Dwan, fighting off the Screechers with his Texas Ranger, watched the Queen collapse down onto the ground. After the remaining Screechers screeched away, he just stood there. He doesn't know how she collapsed, he was too busy fighting.
He overhears Lion talking to Varn and pieces everything together. He walked over to Varn. "You got yourself a free drink at the bar, good sir.", he told him, patting him on the back. As he watches everyone get together, he couldn't lose that feeling that someone was watching them. He looks over at some rocks and sees someone watching him. They quickly run into the shadows. Dwan, nervous, asks when they are getting paid.
Iska woke up dizzily to Lion shaking her and informing her about their victory. Still laying down and dazed from the hit to her head looked up at Lion with squinted eyes, "We kill queen, all crew alive?".
Varn fell to his knees and then let out a loud "WOOOOOOOO!"
"That was for my armor you overgrown cockroach."-he turned to Peera-"and that is when you want a job done right you call a Boome marine."
"If you ever need a really big gun or help in general, I'm your man Varn."
"Im just doing my job sir. Woo. Hey somebody take a picture of me and the queen. I want to send it to the Cabelas as a big fuck you. Everyone is welcome to join."
Yanim had never taken her eyes off her target. Even after she missed Lion's grenade, and even after her own had bounced badly and missed the queen. Even when the screechers began to close in on her position, she knew that she didn't have the angle to fend them off; her comrades would handle them diligently. All she wanted was to hit Lion's grenade and end it, but Varn had landed the shot first with a well-placed grenade of his own.
The mess was indescribable and the shrieks could be heard echoing through the caverns for miles around. The silence that followed was broken by the cheers of victory from the two crews below. Yanim had contributed nothing of importance to the battle and had only succeeded in making herself a target. Everyone else was putting away their guns, but Yanim clutched hers closely- her blood was boiling.
Perra grinned and laughed a few times as she noticed those strange looking vials the Archius Crew had with them the whole time. "Great job guys, I couldn't help but notice... what the fuck did you guys use to kill that Queen?"
Arthur joined in with the celebrations, celebrating the death of the Screecher queen first, and saving Yanim again second. He patted Varn on the shoulder when he got his turn with the hero.
"Nicely done, my friend! Let me be the first to say that you deserved that kill. Your reward will be very well earned." Arthur said, smiling at the scratched up mercenary. He quickly rushed off to the corpse of the Screecher queen, cutting a small chunk of her flesh up and collecting some of her blood for later while responding to Perra.
"I made that! I call it Wildfire. I created it after you sent me over the info about Screecher biology. I intend to sell the recipe to the government of Rigel after we've claimed the reward."
"Really. Wow that's pretty interesting Arthur, didn't know you were quite the scientist." Perra said as she looked towards the Screecher Queen's corpse, spewing a bit of saliva. "So, I got two homkah trucks that could haul this thing back to my ship. But question is what do we haul her out of the caves?"
Hnnng is it too late to join? If so, I'll get rid of it. If not, cool. Not read the whole thread yet, plan on doing that once I post this, sorry if I missed anything!

Name : Colin Oxfon
Date Of Birth: 2359
Crew Profession: Scribe
Race: Human, Welsh
Biography:
Colin was born into a family that originally disliked the concept of children and for the first few years lf his life, only his mother cared for him. When his mother and father passed away when he was young, his uncle took it upon himself to look after Colin. Due to his uncle being a merchant, Colin grew up hearing constantly about money and "trade", allowing himself to understand at an older age much quicker. He expressed an interest in literature at a young age and he told his uncle he wished to be an author.
Unfortunately, authors weren't in popular demand when Colin was 13 so he attempted to look for something useful for society as well as being something that made him happy. Despite knowing he couldn't become an author, he continued to write for himself in his spare time until he hit the age of 18 and began training to become a scribe. In the past, people could learn a few hours before getting the job. Not anymore. Colin had to endure 2 and 1/2 years of training before becoming an official scribe for the ship he lived on.
Whilst he is happy to have become a scribe and followed the path of literature, he is still burdened by the fact his parents never saw their son grown up and so, he's unable to prevent the flashbacks and feelings of disappointment with himself that occur occasionally. Nevertheless, he dedicates his full effort to his work and attempts to maintain relationships with his fellow workers and citizens because he's not one to run from socialising.
