[Sherwood]

Yes, you can now perceive it. Everyone gets a free shot off at it before needing to go to initiative rolls.

 

[Sherwood]

Anyone else wish to take a shot at the Fury before it has a chance to fire back?

Rykon D. Rex jaydude

 

[Rykon]

Jake fires off a 16 missile salvo from the MM-60 at the Fury, hoping to inflict grievous damage at minimum.

1080MD.

 

[Sherwood]

Between the two missile strikes on the Fury, the large mecha is in critical shape and cannot take much more damage. You would guess that it can sustain only another few hundred points of damage before being destroyed.

 

[jaydude]

Ian followed up with his own attack, a volley of four HEAP missiles from the MM-16.

300 MDC

These last missiles are just enough to make the Fury explode, lighting up the blizzard with flames.

As it burns, Springer makes the comment, "That just seems odd that there are no defenders for this thing. Hell, we don't leave our artillery assets unguarded, just for situations like this. Their other mecha must be out here somewhere nearby; we just haven't run across them yet."

 

[Psychie]

Bigs nods, "Agreed. We must be close to the wreck or else we would have had to tangle with more Invid by now."

 

[jaydude]

"Keep an eye out, everyone. The winds might have prevented any nearby Invid from hearing us, but you never know." Ian said as he advanced forward, gesturing for the others to follow him.

 

[Rykon]

Jake replies over comms, "Think the weather could have had anything to do with separating it from its buddies? Possibly even buried them? That's quite a horror show of a minefield... Little buggers waitin to hop up out of the snow at a moment's notice... I'll keep eyes peeled for sure boss. Let's try and match tracks as much as possible."

 

[Sherwood]

As the squad moves forward, you are continually buffeted by the high winds, but at least for the moment, visibility is a little bit better. Soon, you begin getting static on the radio, indicating that there is a series of signals being sent out nearby that is getting a lot of interference. For those that are interested in doing so, go ahead and give me a Radio: Basic roll.

 

[Psychie]

Radio Basic roll of 56%

 

[Rykon]

Rolling...

 

[jaydude]

Rolling.

 

[Sherwood]

Both Jake and Bigs are able to get a good read on a set of signals, triangulating them back to their origin point as you move. From what you are hearing, there is a fierce fight going on between many survivors of the crashed troopship and several Inorganics that have moved into position around the crash site. From what you are hearing, the marines on the ground are sizably outgunned, and are just barely holding their positions as they struggle to dig in.

 

[jaydude]

"Shit, our people are getting their heads kicked in! Let's move!" Ian said to the others, advancing at a quick pace towards the battle and gesturing for the others to follow him, doing his best to spot any stray Invid along the way.

 

[Sherwood]

Moving forward, you come to a large fight in progress. There are six Odeon and two Scrim Inorganics that are advancing on a group of soldiers in Cyclone armor using small arms to try and stop them, but it is clear that the heavily armored Invid units are just brushing off the incoming fire.

Initiative rolls, please!

 

[Psychie]

You are just under 3,000 feet out, putting you in range of all of your weapons.

Initiative! 21

 

[Sherwood]

Wow. You go first!

 

[D. Rex]

Arming the missiles, Victor took careful aim. To see about thinning the herd, the burly man launched a volley of six missiles into Odeons. That should get their attention. And hopefully get their eyes off the Cyclones ahead.



Strike: 12
Damage: 380

 

[Sherwood]

The missiles fly straight and true, and slam into the back of the first Odeon. Its heavy armor is able to absorb the hit, but it is showing signs of being badly damaged.

Jake levels his aim at the Scrims and fires a volley of 8 MM-60 missiles at the closest target.
