"Vell! I vanted to join in on ze bug hunting vhen I arrived here by cab. but since you all have done the job. I hope you vouldn't mind me joining in on ze picture!" Joseph said.
"So vhen are ve going back to ze ship?"
[QUOTE=Radley;47508519]As she began walking towards jeremy, she noticed something, that weird stonelady wasn't with the crew.
She instructed Bubal to inform the captain whilst she looked for Viper. Jogging down into the caves, the screechers long gone deep into the old nest, she lit the flashlight on her lmg. She arrived at the place where the queen had been killed and looked around, no Viper in sight. She shouted into the tunnels; "Rocklady, now is not time to play hide and seek." she stood still in silence waiting for a response.[/QUOTE]
As Iska looked around within cold ice caves, filled to the brim with corpses of both screechers and there would be hunters. Iska stood several moments looking at the carnage till finding the severed upper arm of what seems to Viper. Iska closed her eyes as she found evidence of Viper's fate. Until a hearing something from behind her, quickly turning to face it with her's Jorvu. The Lmg's flashlight lighted up figure in shadows, it was Viper. Filled with gashes, acid burns and bullet wounds among her cracked shell and lacking the right upper arm. The Sanghvi turned to face the unknown treat with claws ready, being unable to tell that it was Iska. The only one thing that going though Viper's mind was her imminent death. As Viper's dulled and cracked legs started to slowly walk over to unknown figure with claws raised and ready. Until her legs begin to collapse and shatter. Leaving the Sanghvi immobile and incapable of anything. The only thing that Viper did was to stare at the figure. Waiting for death.
[ BTW I'm heading to bed, Viper is a NPC for now.]
*BOOM*
"I knew it, we shouldn't have trusted her, okay team, I want you guys to shoot the tires of her Truck and follow it as close as you can...Viper..I want you....Viper?" Jeremy said, he then looked around for Viper but couldn't see him, he did see Iska with a strange person though.
He then walked over to see who this person was.
"V...Viper? Oh shit, JOSEPH, GET OVER HERE, YOU TOO ARTHUR." Jeremy yelled with a worried tone in his voice.
"It's going to be okay Viper, don't give up."
Lion saw the truck heading off then Jeremy was handing out orders. "Captain, I'll take the Roughrider and intercept. Yanim, with me."
He began starting up the ship.
"We'll be back in no-time."
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47509462]Lion saw the truck heading off then Jeremy was handing out orders. "Captain, I'll take the Roughrider and intercept. Yanim, with me."[/QUOTE]
"Yakka!" [Understood!]
Yanim rearmed the nosegun while also punching in general parameters to the Roughrider's radar in hopes of detecting Perra's vehicle.
"Perra steals in blood. Blood begets blood."
Lion strapped into the seat and began pushing buttons, several hologram windows opened to show the status of the ship. He then transferred the gunner controls to Yanim.
The engines were now roaring as the ship began ascending.
[quote]Roughrider ascended from the ground as they began to intercept Perra's homkah truck after receiving a head start. Inside her truck had Perra driving where she utilized her holo band connecting to the vehicle, she noticed those cannons mounted above the hull had some sensors to identify anything as friend or foe. Once she got inside the truck before she triggered the charges she immediately coordinated the cannons to make sure Archius was hostile.[/quote]
After a few minutes of flight, Yanim began to see a blip on the radar which matched the profile of a cargo craft. "Six degrees north... she's fifteen kilometers out, very close to ground. We have plan, or we just gun for kill directly?"
Lion glanced at Yanim. "The only thing I've planned is to get us both out of this alive." He increased the thruster speed, making the approach procceed even faster. As they neared the homkah truck, a pair of cannons opened fire.
"Taking evasive action, Yanim, aim for her tires!"
[editline]12th April 2015[/editline]
[Doom you fucked up my head, are the homkah's actual trucks or are the hovering vehciles/ships? One moment you were talking about ships and then about two trucks pulling up next to the hole before we all descended."
Having had his picture taken, Sledge turned his attention to the next item on his priority list: His missing boot and the wicked-frostbitten foot it once covered. He'd forgotten about it during the fight and also because he couldn't really feel anything in it anymore but that might be good or bad he's not sure? He was about to ask Doctor Germany about it but then something exploded AS USUAL. I mean he still could have asked after that but then that one boulder-babe showed up looking way worse for wear than any wimpy touch of frostbite ever could. In this case, Sledge decided to save face and just not mention it at all to anyone ever.
[Going to bed now. Sledge is a controllable NPC until I get back. I think I've established his character enough for that.]
[The homkahs are actual trucks from Perra's medium sized ship that she bought out once the plan to kill the Queen succeeded. She's going to bring her homkah to her ship not far from the center of the cave in order to escape]
Ahead, Perra's homkah appeared in the windshield and HUD. Lion pulled hard on the stick to evade the mechanically-precise weaponry, first upward and to the left before rolling inward and dropping altitude, getting underneath the craft's cone of fire. The entire time, the G-forces inside the cockpit were enough to keep Yanim from becoming disoriented as she pulled up on the nosegun. She raked the side of the truck and its tires with machine gun fire during the pass.
Now equipped with a map, Colin made his way to where the majority of ships landed and gathered with potentially one of the dumbest reasons.
"I'm trying to find a client and I'm presuming he gambles. Furthermore, I've decided people gamble and bet on ships a lot, which I don't even know if is correct." sighed Colin.
Colin attempted to avoid making eye contact with anyone. Not because he was scared ( well maybe he was ) but because the last he looked at a person for too long, he had been shot in the foot and Colin didn't want to have to go to a medical bay and then all the way back to the docking station. Unfortunately, when he arrived, there were only two ships and one of them lacked an engine and while he knew very little about spaceships, he knew for a fact the ship wouldn't travel very far.
"Don't think anyone would bet on that." Colin said, a smirk on his face.
[ Is your ship near the docking station or have you left? ]
[Archius Ship is near the docking station. The guys who partook in the bug hunt are driving Roughrider, a dropship from Archius, Roughrider is currently tracking down a truck.]

Mini-Roll[8]: Yanim took a deep breath and focused, after that combat she did she really wanted to make herself proud. Roughrider's nosegun aimed at the side of the Homkah Truck. With no time to lose Yanim pressed her controls and the gun fired. The amount of power was too much for one person to handle, it was almost killer being a gunner for a dropship. Yanim almost smiled at the fact she was basically firing at a woman she hated. Perra's truck took an immense amount of firepower from the nosegun, barely keeping up as one of the large tires took a heavy beating but not imploding as they expected it to.
"Good shooting!" Yelled Lion before evading another burst of projectiles from the truck.
"Activating concussion-missile tubes, fire at will."
The side of the truck was lit up by the machine gun fire, but the tires proved resilient. When Lion gave her control of the missile tubes, however, she knew it was about to be over. Lion rocked the controls back and forth to dodge the truck's next hail of fire before pulling back on the throttle and pulling a lateral spin. This time the truck was in her sights for a bit longer, and so Yanim used the machine gun as a tracer before unleashing the missiles.
The other ship that Colin saw was actually quite good looking, even more so if you compared it to the ship nearby. Colin looked around and was unable to find anyone that looked like they were betting, in fact they looked like ordinary citizens, something that upset and relieved Colin at the same time.
"What if these are their ships?" wondered Colin.
He didn't know who the hell would own a spaceship without an engine so Colin had a pretty good idea that if these ships belonged to gamblers, they would own the ship called the "Archius XI". Instead of strolling onto a ship without permission, Colin decided to hold the contract in his hand as evidence and stand near the Archius XI so he didn't look "intimidating". He adjusted his glasses, re-arranged his backpack and then...waited.
[ I'll just wait nearby until people come back. ]

Mini-Roll[8]:
[quote] Yanim used the nosegun as a tracer towards the homkah, tailing it as it tried to escape like a mouse running from the cat. Only this time they were the cat tailing on the mouse. A few shots punctured the Homkah's hull, scraping some paint along with placing some holes on the vehicle. When Yanim heard Lion the all clear to use concussion missiles she knew this chase was settled.
Yanim saw the light for missile blink to her side and pulled up the controls and had the truck on the HUD's targeting system. A press of a button was all she needed. "I never liked you from the beginning you red haired bitch!" Yanim unleashed the set of concussion missiles making sure they would precisely hit near the front of the truck instead of blasting it point blank, which would probably blow the truck containing the Queen in pieces. In a press, the payload case opened, revealing an onset of missiles. One missile sparkled and flew straight towards in front of the truck. Blowing up impressively in front of the truck's ramming speed.
The impact forced the truck to go out of balance, unable to control the truck Perra braced for impact as the truck tilted, preparing to crash as it flipped on its side. Collapsing in the middle of nowhere. Exhaust smoke came out of the intake.[/quote]
After he left the cave, Dwan headed straight to Roughrider to rest. Once he returned to the Archius, he'll need to bring his Howitzer for check-ups, aswell as the business card he got back in the cave. He sat down in his seat and took a quick victory nap..... before he was woken up by the explosion. He didn't know what was going on, but before you know it, he felt the ship getting off the ground and flying.
He got up and went to see what was going on. He noticed Yanim in the gunner's seat as he arrived at the pilot's seat, which was occupied by Lion. "What the hell is going on!?", Dwan asked him.
Yanim knew from the moment the missiles left the pod that she had aimed well. Even if she hadn't, the truck wouldn't have lasted much longer under the superior mobility and firepower of the dropship. One kinetic missile struck the ground just in front of the cab, cratering the ground and directing most of the energy of the blast into the undercarriage right between the front wheels. The machine bucked upward and to the right, twisting from the intense forces involved. In a split second it came crashing back down, bottoming out on its suspension and breaking the control arms of the right-front wheel. Still sliding at high speed, the wheel-well made contact with the ground as the crippled wheel assembly tucked under the engine bay, shifting weight across the entire body of the truck.
Its left-front wheel lifted into the air again, no longer supporting any weight of the twisting vehicle. The left-rear tires followed suit, and soon the entire shredded left side of the truck was pointing toward the sky. The hulk slid across the tundra like v-hull boat, kicking up rock, dirt and snow in two large fans before gradually sliding sideways to a halt. Smoke billowed out of the collapsed engine bay, but the cabin and cargo compartments were mostly intact. Yanim was glad to see that the queen's carcass had survived the wreck, but didn't take her eyes off the cabin's hatch. Perra might still be alive, and would still need to be dealt with.
Iska kneeled at the shatteredand shaking form. She didin't know what race Viper was, but looking at her condition she knew that she had been to hell and back.
Iska noticed that Viper was afraid of her, but she then noticed that the implant was gone. She looked at Viper and said with a sigh; "You are long way from quarry". Viper looked up at her and seemed to calm, but she then collapsed from exhaustion.
Iska swung jorvu across her back and but vipers arm in her back pouch. She then walked over to Viper and lifted her across her shoulders and began carrying her to the surface.
Well outside she noticed that the ship had gone. She smiled as she thought about the crew chasing Perra. "[Give that slimy cunt a round from me too]" she said to herself. Iska then proceeded to but Viper down in windcover behind the blown up truck as it was still warm. She then took out a microbeacon and activated it. As soon as the locator light shone up and it began biping she tossed it on the ground. Iska sat down next to Viper and lit a cigarette and looked out over the barren landscape, thinking about similar things that had happened during some of the wars.
Lion was startled as Dwan suddenly appeared in the cockpit. Before he could say anything, Perras truck burst into flames and procceded to crash into the icy tundra.
"Bloddy hell. Good shooting Yanim! Dwan, get on the rear gun!" Said Lion as the rear LMG once more deployed to cover the rear of the ship.
Lion began landing the Roughrider, positioning it so that that the rear ramp was facing towards the truck.
He unstrapped himself and brougth out his wepaons, Lion then slowly walked out of the ship and approached the trucks' cabin carefully.
"Watch my six."
Varn was shaken by the sound of the explosion. "For once I would like a mission where no-one back-stab's each other" He made his way up to the surface where he noticed the burning wreckage and Iska standing next to Viper's body. "Shit, what happened to her?" He noticed the Roughrider was gone, probably chasing whoever did this, but he remembered that the other Boome marines back at the docking area. He turned on his comm's and started broadcasting an emergency signal. "To any Boome marines in the area, we need med-vac, we have wounded and are in need of assistance."
[quote=Lion]Bloddy hell. Good shooting Yanim![/quote]
"Yashta! [Hell yes!] You are good pilot, Lion. No bullet hit us in flight."
Only then did she notice Dwan sitting in the roughrider, to her surprise. Lion ordered him to man the rear gun, giving him cover as he approached the wrecked truck. Until they were sure Perra had no backup plan, Yanim decided to remain at the controls of the dropship.
She radioed Jeremy. "Captain, we just put stop to Perra's truck. Lion is moving to capture her, but there still is a question of how to transport queen's carcass. I recommend to order the Archius to crash location so it can do job of winching the wreck into the hangar."
Lion approached the wreck, holding his rifle with the steadiness of a robot. He tried scanning for lifesigns however the heat from the wreck made that impossible.
He was only a few meters away now, closing in. The tinted windows made sure that noone could see through.
Lion walked up to the door and ripped it up.
Dwan got on the rear gun and covered Lion as he went to the truck and ripped open the door.
"Nice shot comrade!"
Until now, Arthur had been in a near catatonic state, following the team but doing almost nothing other than staring at the fleeing truck, thinking about Perra's betrayal and looking at the downed Sanghvi. The outside world was a bubble, and he wasn't in it. Until now.
The other truck flipping over snapped Arthur very much out of this state. He looked around, at the entirety of the crew panicking and going to shit around him. His attention then turned to Iska's actions concerning Viper. Arthur leapt out of his seat and began running behind to Lion, but not before whipping out his comms and sending a quick message to Joseph.
"Joseph, I need you and the lab ready immediately when we come back. Viper has fallen in the line of duty and we need our best doctor to save him. Get onto the databanks IMMEDIATELY and begin looking up Sanghvi biology, quick as you can." His attention turned to Lion, flames in his eyes.
"If we're killing this cunt, I'm taking the shot. I got the crew involved with the slimy bitch, I'm getting us out."
Lemmy wonders around the spaceport and sees the Archius XI as a ship he'd like to work for, approaches it and see's if anyone is on board.
Colin watched as a man approaches the ship and attempt to board it.
"Who is this?" wondered Colin.
Colin walked towards the man near the Archius, contract held tightly in his hand. Once he got in speaking distance, he shouted towards the man who he could only describe as 'decent'.
"EXCUSE ME, IS THIS YOUR SHIP?"
