Roughrider set down in the hangar and Jeb was quickly carried to the medical bay. The dropship then left once more and went back to the artifact site.
As soon as they touched down everyone went out and positilned themselves just in time before several bugs went to attack the crew.
[Feels like you guys rushed the latest posts, seeing as 1) we ditched the shovels for the drill 2) Varn was onboard on the dropship, tending to varn 3) you guys don't seem to have a clue about the layout of the artifact site.]
[Tell me if I'm wrong. Because I'm sure Ill get something wrong. On Radley's post it seems Iska fell into a blood rage and cant tell the difference between friend and foe. So now someone has to subdue her. For the digging, I thought we went for the lazer instead of shovels. And I thought that the Roughrider hadn't taken off yet, thats why Varn jumped out of it.]
[Well now Im hella confused.
Let me start. Iskas berserkmode went into overdrive and somebody should stop her. But here are my questions:
A) when did the roughrider leave?
B) who are still left on the site?
C) whats the status on that drill?
If we slow down for a sec we can clean this up and I can skip Iskas craze if so necessary, doom you're the gm after all so you call the shots.]

[I think at one point Varn left the Dropship to resume fighting, now whether or not that was before takeoff I'm not sure]
[Roughrider took off last page, after field surgery on Jeb.]
[Nvm found it. So heres the situation afaik.
The roughrider went back to drop off Jeb, then returned. Iska parked her bike by the ramp. The crew were on their way to inspect the drill progress when suddenly bugs. Events happened and now we are here, everyone on the site, iska in a trance, viper, lion, pippin, sledge and varn on the roughrider, Yanim in the cargoship and jeremy and andro at the artifact platform.
Sound plausible?]
[Sounds good IMO.]
[Everyone who did an action redo your posts again, right now we're trying to sort things out.]
Varn has has his exchange with Dwan from the last page and starts laying down suppressing fire on the bugs.
[I'll quote my old post after the bugswarm is finished]
[is the medical side good, or does that have to be redone too?, not that Jeb has much of a role in it (being unconscious and all that)]
[The medical surgery part is fine, it's just the actions posted after I posted the roll results]

Mini Roll [2]: Varn continues to give the smack down on the bugs from the swamps. However, he has to check in with ammo until bugs started to overwhelm him. His pulled out mag came in place until he accidentally dropped it.
Did a rough ~artistic~ map to show the site we're at since people seem to have a problem figuring out the layout etc.

Brought to you by my shitty PS-skills.
(Okay, thanks)
This time Varn was pissed at himself "Dammit." The bugs were coming closer, but he wasn't gonna let the bugs win. He quickly got back on his feet and dropped a grenade where they were clustering.
Hercules picks up on Iska's distressed emotional state and attempts to calm her by taking a submissive position in front of her and making cute whining noises! [roll]

Mini Roll Critical Success![highlight][9][/highlight]Varn made his final attempt to achieve victory using his last grenade. These were the key to success and dropped it at the multiple amounts of bugs charging at him. With a time delay Varn had enough time to escape before it exploded. The bomb blew as the swarm of bugs got torn apart. Pieces to pieces.
[quote]The massive swarms of bugs died down once Varn's grenade turned the tide in their favor, soon the bugs were relentless but kept going anyway until all died.
Iska felt the gun run out ammo and click. She slowly put jorvu on her back and removed her combatknife. She wiped the insectblood from her face with trembling hands. She looked down on her bloodied hands and the bloodfury took over.
Iska slowly turned around and began walking towards the roughrider. Her eyes were glowing a faint red and her pupils had disappeared. She took heavy and steaming breaths between her clenched theeth. Her knuckles began to whiten as she gripped the bloodsoaked knife in her hands.
[Lets say a 7 to subdue her.] [/quote]
[Radley's post was meant to be done after the bug swarm was done but I'll take the action anyway Bat.]
[QUOTE=Bathacker;47698193]Hercules picks up on Iska's distressed emotional state and attempts to calm her by taking a submissive position in front of her and making cute whining noises! [roll][/QUOTE]
Mini Roll Critical Failure [highlight][1][/highlight] Angered by Herc's cutesy whining noise, Iska yells in unison and tackles the creatures down to the ground, stabbing it by the thigh as she's gotten out of control. Herc releases out a scream.
After the rest of swarm was destroyed, Viper looked though the Exo-suit to the sensors of the Archius IV. As the fleet grew closer so did the team's time window shortened.
Viper deactivated the now empty weapons and turn to the rest of the team.
Sledge and Varn, guard the rest of team dill finishes. Viper said before rushing to the Talon, almost tripping over the bodies of dead bugs.
As Viper was near Roughrider, a large soft-carbon almost tackled Viper but was able to side step her. Viper turn to a crazed Iska staring down Viper. Stand down Iska. Viper said with a lound, strength voice. Viper was met with a roar by Iska before pouncing her crest with her fist with combat knife in grip.
Ah a soft-carbon that responses with action not words, something I can relate to. Viper thought before readying to restrain Iska as she charged forward.
[editline]10th May 2015[/editline]
(Oh shit, phones about to die. Viper going to be NPC until I get back, sorry guys. )
Varn was in a state similar to the one he was back in the caves. His blood rushing, high on adrenaline and whatever the mixture of chemicals was in his blood. "This is getting harder to control. Better see Arthur on the ship." He thought to himself.
That's when he heard Iska's wild roar. He turned around and saw her and Viper having a stand off. The look in Iska's eyes was all to familiar. She was intoxicated by the blood lust and now she couldn't tell friend from foe. Varn prepared his tazzer. One good punch should do it. He would deliver it only if Viper failed to subtue her in his next attack.
[The punch, if it lands, would probably look like this. Shortest video I could find. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJDwsS-3z6s[/url] ]
[QUOTE=Deathgrunt;47698628]Ah a soft-carbon that responses with action not words, something I can relate to. Viper thought before readying to restrain Iska as she charged forward.[/quote]
Mini Roll Critical Success [highlight][9][/highlight]: Viper place its entire focus on Iska as she acted like some bull on cocaine from hell. Her speed was impressive, she had no thought what so ever to go on this path. It was clear her blood drive was boiling like the sun. Viper prepared this and made sure to be careful. From 3 inches Viper dodged her charge and placed one of its talons on her shoulder, placing its other talon around her neck.
Viper pressed hard and made sure this wasn't gonna break out of this one. A min later and she was almost suffocating. Grasping for air as Viper pressed down on her neck. Captain Jeremy and Andron ran to the team, Jeremy with widened eyes saw Viper choking Iska. "That's enough Viper!" But Viper kept on going, its memories went live from the war it participated in.
"VIPER!" Jeremy yelled, Andron watched the events unfold and took off its overcoat, revealing a [url=http://i.imgur.com/S1FT0YD.jpg] robotic body.[/url] Andron ran towards Viper, tackling the non carbon into submission. Iska grasped for air and got back into reality.
Hearing Hercules howl in pain, Sledge turned his hurried jog down the ramp into a full-on sprint.
He noticed Iska flipping her shit and holding a knife and Herc with a sizable gash in his leg.
Before he could get to them Viper stepped in. The second it looked like she had the situation under control Sledge turned his full attention to Hercules, who was whining loudly and licking the wound.
Sledge cautiously decides to do a cursory inspection to see how bad the wound is. [roll]
Mini Roll [8]: Impressively enough Herc held the pain like a champ and the wound doesn't seem to be as awful as it was thought to be.
"Whats the eta on those ships?" Pippin yelled "And how the hell are we going to transport that?" He said, pointing at the artifact.
"Whew... You gave me a scare there, big guy," Sledge said while petting Herc's snout. He fed him another raw potato.
The blade had gone in at a weird angle and had made a rather shallow wound. It could have gone a lot worse.
"Herc's hurt," Sledge said, casting an angry look in Iska's direction, "I'm taking him back to the dropship to get him out of the dirt."
Sledge helped the Dracobin to his feet and got him limping back up the ramp.
As Viper had Iska in an stranglehold, an rather dark memory stated to flash as Iska started using her knife to help break the grip of the Viper's cool steel talons but only to shatter the blade.
Viper Exo-suit continue its actions as Viper's mind was thrown back to a repressed memory of the war. Meanwhile Iska neck begin bleed as the steel of the talons started to cut into her skin as she struggle.
It was at the end of a long battle during the final phase of the war, Viper's squadron broken though the protective's last line of defense around the Sanghvi's last remaining colony of sector.
Viper squadron was cleaning up the last of defenses on the surface before receiving a order from a unfamiliar robotic voice. The order was clear, fire a UVSC round from underslung rail gun into the 3rd hanger bay of the colony.
Viper did not the order as the Sanghvi believed in only what was told of it. Viper did a roll and dive into there fire. Flying directly into the incoming fire from the hanger, unflinching as missiles disintegrated Viper's fellow fighters of the squadron.
Whatever feelings of self preservation were drilled out during the upbringing, life didn't matter to Viper, like all other Sanghiv. Only thing did, whatever there command want's of them, being it killing a fellow comrade in a blink of a eye to walking off a cliff.
Viper took a glance as it's rail gun fire a pin point round into the hanger bay, lighting the whole colony ablaze in plasma fire. Outshining a star in it's chain reaction as the shot went straight though the .
The only sounds Viper could hear was cheering on the radio as another hive was burned to ash, as more then ten thousand Sanghvi were doom to the deep void forever.
Viper felt nothing in that moment, no remorse or empathy. Only the desire for the next mission. No care for there dead or for lives they took away. Only there eternal service.
(Well, okay then...)
Iska gasped for air and scrambled to her feet, dizzily swinging her broken knife around her.
Eventually she stopped and looked at viper, her eyes loosing the red glow and pupils returning.
She squinted a bit, but eventually her eyes rolled up under her eyelids and, like a falling tree, she fell face first into the muck.
[Going on a week camp in the army again. Iska has passed out/gone into a coma]

((I have some catching up to do... holy crap guys.))
"Pippin and Varn, grab Iska and get her into the ship! Sledge, help me position these hoverpods around the sphere, we're gonna make it fly." Said Lion as he rushed up the ramp and began placing out hoverpods arounnd the spheres bottom.
He looked to the horizon and saw the ships getting closer.
Yanim had stayed in the ship during the entire battle outside, tending to a malfunctioning air compressor which would render the craft unusable at high altitudes. While it wasn't exactly a mission-critical repair since the Archius was still nearby, it was her job to ensure that if, for some strange reason, they needed the Roughrider to climb ten kilometers, it could do it without killing its passengers.
In any case, the crew was armed to the teeth. What was the worst that could happen?
The rear doors flung open, and in came Pippen, carrying a bloody and injured Jeb. Lion and Sledge were close behind. "Put him there!" shouted Lion. It became clear shortly that Jeb needed medical attention immediately, but Yanim wasn't qualified to play doctor, especially not on a human patient. She quickly radioed the medical crew of the Archius and told them to be ready to receive a casualty at the hangar bay. Ambulance driver was a role she could play.
Or at least she would have, except Lion surprised her by entering the cockpit and dropping into the opposite seat. Was the fighting already over? She quickly transferred main controls to Lion and accepted her role as ambulance co-driver. Varn jumped out the back just as the Roughrider began to rise, the door closing slowly behind him. Perhaps it wasn't over after all.
They had to fly fast, requiring both pilots' complete concentration. Yanim wouldn't learn how Jeb had been injured until he was being unloaded into the hangar bay, where the real doctors took over. They then raced back to the landing zone so that they could rejoin the action. While Lion and Sledge jumped back out, Yanim kept the engines on standby in case another injured crewmember awaited them.
