OCC: What the warp is going on? Are we still avoiding detection or not? if not, how did they detect us? why are they sending vehicles at us? where did all the gangers come from?

EDIT: how come these "gangers" are having a shoot out right outside and none of us noticed, Dragon why are you constantly trying to Dial things up to crazy levels? What's next, Traitor Astartes? a Titan Legion? The Emperor himself?

(OOC 1st the brifing said there was a gang war gining on. 2nd there was to many gangers in the car park for some thing not to be up. 3rd i never said the vhicle was moving tords us. 4th this is a blessing if there was a scermish when we took the car park the missing ganger will be unnoticed. 5 this is in frount of the car park not behind it where a group came from. And 6th the fighting could have started at the same time we made our move.))

((ooc, yes we are still avoiding detection. I attempted to downplay the use of Furns grenade launcher by RP'ing that it was a smoke grenade she fired rather than an explosive but I think it was missed. Also we were fighting "mutants"(creatures) not gangers, as too many gangers going missing would have been suspicious. I was hoping that finding mutants down there would link in nicely with Avare finding mutants and thereby making the problem appear more widespread than Avare previously thought. I'm also going to assume that the gangers who heard the fighting in the carpark were close enough to hear it, carparks do tend to echo but again i think it was because the downplay of the grenade noise was missed.

As for Dragonjaj's latest post I cannot say, I'll leave it up to EF to make a choice on how we should proceed. I plan to post my own snippet of text later on to take care of the last ganger and then I'm waiting for more people to post otherwise our team will be too far ahead of everyone))

((OOC I honestly have no idea what Team Fallen is up to. The observation post is sounding more like an abandoned fort, can someone tell me clearly what this observation post is? You are also switching between Stealth and Gung-ho a lot. I'll be setting things straight here.

-First of all, Hellsguardian, you are clearing the abandoned building of gangers, not mutants , since the two are unlikely to be in close proximity and everyone else has mentioned gangers. But other posters should be aware that there aren't twenty of the fellas just walking around.
-Secondly, the gang hasn't been alerted yet, because you are being sneaky sneaky. I promise you will get your chance at guns-blazing in a moment.))


Character: Avare
Location: Serenity's
Situation: Tearing the place up

BAM!!
The explosion from inside Serenity's as multiple frag grenades went off was deafening. Screams and shrieks of agony and shock followed instantly. Avare scowled, there were a lot more people in there than Avare had first thought. She could hear a girl wailing, and someone screaming about their arm. Then Mast's follow-up grenades went off, leaving only a shocked silence.
Soric leapt into action, kicking aside an overturned table as he burst into the club, his hellgun sweeping across the room. Avare and Rally followed, Avare clicking off the safety of her laspistol.

"By the authority of the Inqui- Stay down you grox-fether!" Avare swore as she shot a crawling man, maybe he had been a gang member, maybe he hadn't, before starting up her announcement again. "By the authority of the Inquisition I command all persons within to submit to Imperial Authority, obey or die."
Three autogun slugs slamming into the bench beside her was her only response, Avare barely had time to duck behind a metal beam before the the survivors of the Yellow Dogs recovered from their shock and opened fire.

"Feth it! Troopers, take 'em down!" Avare scowled again, you'd think after having half an armoury unleashed on them the idiots would lie down and hope for the best.

((ooc, roger, doing a rewrite and editing posts for clarity. I no longer have a clue either. I might need to delete whole segments as its unlikely that gangers wouldn't open fire the moment they saw us, so not yet sure how I can re-write, but I'll post again once I have. Posts just seem to conflict))

((Ah ninja'd Hellsgaurdian. It's Crimson Jackals that you're dealing with at the moment, not Crimson Jackals and mutants.


With the last ganger dead can Team Fallen please set up the observatory and sit tight? Report on any movements, and there will plenty of action very shortly.))

(OCC Wilson's finishing up with the mines now boss, he had to stop for a moment to choke an idiot with a bit of wire, also, i'm turing into a pyromanic with all this sneaking about, i wanna fire my flamer dammit! )

Subject: Wilson
Location Op southern side
Status: Finishing mine deployment/ covert patrol disposal

The ganger gave one last gasp and fell still, not taking chances, wilson drew his knife from his belt and slashed the mans throat, dumping the body where he had been hiding a short time before.

He turned to the Sergeant and the Tech priest and said, still panting from his recent struggle, "After this mission, the two of you, me and the nearest bar to the safe-house that serves a decent drink, I'm buying."
Remembering that the Sarge had given him his pistol, Wilson plucked it from the dirt and offered it back, butt first. "I think this is yours, sarge."

((ooc. Ok, have edited two posts. One on page 9 and one on page 10. both marked with EDIT: THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED I've tried to make them fit with all subsequent posts to avoid conflicting RP's))

Subject: Brother Ronan, Team Fallen
Location: Underground Carpark Stairwell
Status: Checking for a ganger

Ronan kept in the shadows and peered up the stairwell. Most of the sub level 1 staircase was broken and rubble strewn across the floor, from the ground floor upwards the stairs seemed to be in decent condition. Climbing up or down the broken stair section was feasible, but impossible to do without creating noise.

He was looking around trying to see a way he could handle the ganger should he come down when his enhanced hearing heard two very low pitched whistle sounds and recognised the sound as silenced sniper fire. he reached up and tapped his comm unit.

"Gaz, confirm you have downed two gangers" there was a slight pause before the response came back. "Confirmed Brother Ronan, two shots, two kills, ooohh yeeeah" he chuckled through the comm.

"Good" he thought to himself, the second ganger must have joined up with is friend and both gone to the underground carpark. "Mikal, Slavro, Ronan here, the two gangers have been neutralised, we will continue to hold down here until the building is secure or backup is required ... Ronan out .... .... Gaz, furn, retreive the bodies and hide them inside the carpark, they'll only attract attention if they remain."

(OK in truth i got mixed up in there 2 too many contradiction in posts.)

Character: Furn: Team Fallen
Location: CarPark
Situation: Holding gate

"Cover me." said Furn as she slipped out watching for movement as she grabbed a body and dragged it back. She was hunched over backing up as she did this to watch for gangers. Also even in her storm trooper gear her ass would catch some stairs as she was doing this. She pulled it behind the gate then repeated the with the other body. "OK that's both of them, checking for in-tell." She said before searching the bodies "Auto gun, clips, auto pistol, ammo, Oh a map of the area this might help." She opened the vox channle "I checked over the bodies found some guns and ammo but also a map of the area it might be of use."

OOC: Why would they be carrying a map of the area they live in..?

BIC:

Characters: Khan Blake, Zeta
Location: Serenity's
Status: Assisting Inquisitorial forces

Zeta and Khan heard gunfire and explosions from around the corner.
"Gak it, we told them to meet us here, not needlessly go on an overzealous purging of the local community," Khan exclaimed as the two instinctively began running down the alleyway, "The lives of Inquisitorial servants could be lost for no furtherance of our objectives."

They rounded the corner, Zeta maintaining a 'normal' speed to allow Khan to keep up. Up ahead, Serenity's was being razed; auto- and Las-fire from within almost blocking out the sound of screaming people. Several dead gangers lay at the entrance to the establishment.

They rushed over, Khan picking up two auto rifles, tossing one to Zeta who expertly caught it with supreme ease. They then stopped at the door; one either side. They poked their heads around to see the small Inquisitorial retinue pinned down and exchanging the occasional shot from at least half a dozen Yellow Dogs; mostly from the other end of the room.
"Lets take 'em by surprise," Khan ordered. He and Zeta both stepped in the doorway, delivering a punishing hail of firepower to the gangers, taking down three in the spray of bullets, before they ducked back behind the entrance as return fire peppered the doorway.

OOC
Dude i need a map of my home town and i still git lost some people are bad at directions...... I really need to buy a gps.

OOC: You may indeed need a map, but they walk those streets to make a living (through crime), they will all know them pretty damned well. Hell they've almost certainly lived there their entire lives. Somehow, I doubt they'd ever get lost.

(OOC: Actually, there could be multitudinous reasons for one of the gangers carrying a map, maybe it wasnt for him etc etc...anyway, hold onto that map, dragon, I may have an idea as to what it could be used for...)

OOC: Sure there could, but it's not massively likely.

Edit: Furthermore, a map with sensitive data regarding the location of gang assets and whatnot would never be handed to a grunt, and a more experienced ganger wouldn't just be guarding any old place, they'd be in the most secure part of their controlled land or out having fun somewhere, abusing their status.

(OOC: Who said anything about it marking any of the gangs assets? There was no detail given, for all we know until someone describes it better, it could be something the guy drew on a napkin while he was at the bar so he could find his way back to his hab after a few drinks....not saying that's likely but the point is, its no big deal and we should just let it slide and get on with securing the area, I'm sure when Slavro gets on we'll have this building secure, we've already killed more than enough gangers so lets all cool our heels till then eh?)

The building origionally had 2 men, on the second level, taken care of by brother Agyphus, I sent Ronan, Furn and Gaz to the dark and scary car park, I thought that becuase we are in the underhive, ignored by the arbites completely would have a few muties about.
So was my fault. I thought that because we were going to the sub levels of a hive that their would at least be a few muties. The road we were going along was deserted and strewn with rubble, and we didn't run into anyone since the drop off. So I thought it was like a deserted dark area, perfect for sneaking through. But of course, like any, underhive, muties like the dark. Again, my bad

I was playing Final fantasy earlier and I got a fire ring and 10 moneys from a wolf. So if your in any doubt, just think Final fantasy



Subject: Slavro
Location: Abandoned Hab complex
Situation: Setting up observational post

Slavro spun on his heels, bringing the butt of the rifle up, ready to smack the face in of the remaining ganger. He pulled back once he saw Mikal standing their, above a steaming mound of flesh and organs. 'Feth that!' gasped Slavro, 'Good job Techy!' smiled Slavro as he slapped him on the sholdar. 'Ain't seen a mess like that since...well, it doesn't matter'

He turned back to Wilson offering him his hand. "After this mission, the two of you, me and the nearest bar to the safe-house that serves a decent drink, I'm buying." panted Wilson. Slavro smiled a toothy grin ' Too fething right!' Slavro took the bolt pistol back and checked the clip, only one bolt let off. 'Damn fine job the pair of ya!'
'Any mines left?' asked Slavro
'2 or 3' smiled Wilson
'Turn these bodies face down, and set the mines to detonate with a 2 second fuse.' grinned Slavro


Slavro pressed his commbead to his ear. 'Copy that, make your way up to the first floor on my mark, Agyphus, Flicker, is the building secure?'

Subject: Gaz
Location: Abandoned Hab complex
Situation: Setting up observational post

"all clear down here Sergent. Do we have any spare mines to cover these gates? we could pile some rubble up and shut them. I will stay here until we have mines or closed the gates. I think we may need the Astartes to close them."

Subject: Slavro
Location: Abandoned Hab Complex
Situation: First floor

Gaz slipped through the broken lower pane of the main door. The lobby was in tatters, paper and stone were scattered amongst the floor, aswell as a few pools of blood. The elevator was bust, the cable holding it up snapped long ago. Slavro looked down the open door, the elevator was crumpled in the basement, above him was complete darkness. Kelly followed him in, his heavy stubber slung across his broad shoulders.

Slavro pressed his comm bead. 'Negative, move up the stairs to 3rd, Mikal,Wilson put mines in the basement stairs, anyone following us, will be trapped and blocked off. Red bull, whats the situation on the ground?'

(um no response to the map furn found???)

dragonjaj wrote:(um no response to the map furn found???)

(OOC: Hold your horses, I'm getting to that, jeez, some guardswomen can be so impatient... )

Subject: Mikal
Location: Abandoned Hab Complex
Situation: Finishing clearance of objective and setting up defensive measures.

Mikal watched Slavro go and nodded to him, he turned back to Wilson and gave the sign of the cog.

"Your offer is most gracious but we should speak another time, our work is not yet done." He looked down at the bodies with nothing but the efficient stare of the Martian priesthood in his eyes. "I must be off now, the Sergeant had requested some of the mines be placed in the basement and I concur, I am sure you will be able to fulfill his other idea about these." He said indicating the bodies and then turned and went into the basement, finding the gate, he continued placing the mines, reciting litanies and working delicately with the ordnance, then, only when he was sure of their function, he stepped back and beckoned the servitor carrying his extra equipment to come to him with the press of a button on his control panel.

His hand came up to his comm bead. "Sergeant, this is Mikal, the ordnance that I was given is now set up in the appropriate places, Wilson is finishing the mine network as we speak. But I have brought extra in case we need it, If you could tell me where our exit paths are, I can place them along said paths to ensure its safety until we are required to leave."

Mikal listened as more chatter came up on the mic, it was Furn, apparently she had found some sort of map. Mikal smiled under his rebreather and vox amp as his hand came back to his comm bead.

"Trooper Furn, please save that document, it may be very useful when I am setting up our surveillance systems."

(OOC: I've just had an idea, if, when the post comes, that the building is completely cleared, it would be nice for said person's character to announce that so as to prevent any confusion about there being any more hostiles in the building.)

Subject: Brother Ronan, Team Fallen
Location: Abandoned Hab Complex
Situation: Moving up to 3rd Floor

Ronan waited for the chatter between the team to finish before pressing his comm unit. "Recieved, moving up to third"

[b]Character: Furn
Location: car park
Situation: Waiting orders.

"Roger that. But i don't like the idea of siting here in the car park when its rigged to go boom. Should we shift positions or do we have sit here next to the red flowers ready to bloom." Said furn in her usual tone witch made it hard to tell if she was joking or not.

dragonjaj wrote:(um no response to the map furn found???)

((OOC: Im going to make reference to it once everyone makes it to the third floor or roof))


((OOC: Oh and just so everyone knows, the building is like this: The lobby: (already described) Windows broken, front desk is made of cheap wood and is over turned.
First floor: Stair case to the 2nd opposite, long dark hallway leading in either direction. Doors mostly boarded up
Second floor: Same layout as 1st.
Third floor: Ladder to the roof at the end of the hallway to the left. Apartments are slightly larger. Big windows facing out the back. Walls are thin, so they can be shot threw with high calibre bullets.
Roof: 4 foot wall around the edge. Fire exit leading down to the alley.))


Subject: Slavro
Location: Roof
Situation: Surveying enemy base


'Building clear' reported Flicker with a salute. Slavro lit a lho stick as he asked 'Any movement?'
'Not for awhile Sarge, been quite. 30 odd minutes ago, 30-40 hostiles entered the building from the east. Since then its been dead on the outside, apart from a few small patrols' reported Flicker.
Slavro offered Flick and Kelly a smoke, both took one and lit them. 'What now Sarge?' asked Kelly as he lit up.
'We wait for Avare, until then we sit tight and watch, and pray none of those mines go off' replied Slavro.

Slavro pressed his comm bead, 'Team Fallen, move to room 304. This is our base of operations. We need a talk'

Character: Furn
Location: car park
Situation: moving


"Finaly......" said Furn as she moved to find the room thoe frve minuts latter thoe "Um what room number again..... i forgot and im lost."

Character: Slavro
Location: Room 304
Situation: loling

'Use your map' said Slavro with a grin

Subject: Brother Ronan, Team Fallen
Location: Abandoned Hab Complex
Situation: Moving up to 3rd Floor

He looked up and started to climb up the broken stairwell until he got to stable ground. He had already heard Furn acknowledging she was on her way and so presumably Gaz would follow her. He saw no reason to go all the way back through the carpark just to double back on himself, it was a short trek for them to get into the building from their current position and they were more than capable of fending for themselves if the worst were to happen.

He quickly peered through the door on the ground floor and saw Gaz and Furn enter through the entrance. Content with their safe arrival inside the building he continued to climb up the stairs to the third floor and along the corridor until he found Room 304 with Slavro, Flick and Kelly already waiting. As he walked in through the doorway he found a wall opposite of the window and leant against it so that his enormous size would not be seen from anyone looking in from outside "Furn and Gaz are in the building and on the way up" He said matter of fact.

Character: Furn
Location: car park
Situation: moving (lost in the building)

Furn looked at the map then to Gaz "Can you read this map I failed that class back in training....." said Furn rubbing the back of her head as she looked around the room they where in.

((Good,Team Fallen secure the Hab Complex and observe the Crimson Jackals. Team Regent will finish purging Serenity's.

Darkvoid: If I've painted our first meeting as slightly less respectful than you imagined, given that I do accidentally pop a shot or two off at you, please tell me. ))


Character: Avare
Location: Serenity's
Situation: Purging the filth


The room was packed with people, most of them no longer breathing. Serenity's was a poorly designed place, the only way out of the place was the front entrance, there weren't even any side exits in case of an emergency, or at least no conventional ones. Serenity's design had become a deathtrap for the people inside it. Trapped between the remaining Yellow Dogs, Avare put their number between six and seven, and the Inquisitorial retinue, the patrons had been torn to pieces. The club was a slaughterhouse, Avare counted at least twenty corpses, and only a few of those looked like Yellow Dogs. Men, women, hell there were the corpses of three juvies over in the corner, another was still alive, nursing his missing hand. More handiwork from the frags.

"Mast! Soric!" Avare barked "Peel to the left, get behind the bar and outflank them! Flush them out!"

Soric nodded, leaping over the bar bench as Rally covered him. Mast followed, breaking into a run, his boots crunching the broken glass underfoot as he sprinted to the safety of the solid bar bench. He was too slow.
"Urk..." Mast gave a small grunt as the autoslug slammed into his visor. He dropped to the floor of Serenity's with a crunching thud, his brain matter spread out on the floor behind him.

The ganger who had killed him gave a short whoop of victory,the next instant his head exploded in a messy fountain, along with two other Yellow Dogs . Avare spun around, there in the entrance stood a Yellow Dog, and some shabby sort of civilian, both shooting into the overturned tables where the surviving gang members where cowering. Instictively Avare brought her laspistol to bear, but her twitch betrayed her, the shot slammed into the doorway beside the civillian. He spun around and shot Avare an indignant glare.

"You stupid bint! What in the grox-gakking hell do you think you are doing?!" he shouted "Firstly, you were supposed to meet us back at Wagner's Weapons, but instead you come over here and decide to kill every single living thing you find. And then you try and shoot me, the frakking informant, when I try to help you while you purge half the frakking underhive!"

For fully three seconds Avare simply half-crouched there awkwardly, unable to respond due to the sheer shock, the cheek, of the informant...whom she had just tried to kill. Now that she thought about it, bursting into Serenity's hadn't been one of her best plans. Maybe next time they should try a more softly-softly approach. One with less explosions. She quickly recovered.

"Don't just stand there, frakhead!" she snapped, "Help me kill these bastards and tell me where the hell the manservant is! Actually, you can start with telling me your damn name, so I can write it down for a formal reprimand later!"

Khan dived down, rolling into the cover of an overturned table beside Avare. "It's Blake! Khan Blake!" he shouted over the exchange of firearms, peering over the table as one of the gangers squealed from a direct hit from Rally's pistol. The other members of Team Regent moved in to finish the surviving Yellow Dogs off. "And I think your people are dealing with these scum well enough!"
